No News Given Out At Homo.

From the New York Globe
Tho Russian Government is much frank
er with tho outside wcrld than with its
own people. The censor has permitted
the Associated Press to telegraph detailed
reports OF the Zemstvos meeting yet not

only news the Russian people have re-
ceived concerning ono of the most re-
markable gathering i'm Russian history
Is what has been conveyed by word of

BUSY AND EXPECT 10 BE.

THAT industrial activity depends
J. largely on sentiment is never de-
MED, and consequently it was natural to
expect business to become livelier after
the election. The first evidences came
from the railroads and the iron and
steel industries.
For some reason the past year has
been one Of retrenchment in the rail-
roads There have been almost no ex-
tensions and comparatively little roll
ing stock built But in the early fan,
with the vast volume Of freight to be
moved and with a constant increase
I'm passenger traffic, all the shops were
obliged to go on full time. not only to
be kept busy with repair work but with
new work.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works
which discharged so many men during
the summer months have resumed with
their full force, and the work Of public
improvements on the various systems,
which for a time was halted, has been
resumed.
The great wave OF industry is moving
outwards. and wilmington has expert
enced its thrill OF life. It is good news
that our ear shops are busy and that
our shipyards are securing their share
Of work. Confidence begets industry
and industry begets confidence; and
many a timid dollar which has been
locked up in a bank vault win now
come forth to pay somebody for his in
dustry.
Ahead Of us are four years in which
there can be no radical departure from
tho policies on which business now
rests. should there be any change II
the tariff, It win be only mild revis.
ion. and our monetary standard is nor.
manently fxed. Consequently, the IN.
ture that we face is full of promise

CHRONIC cArARRH CURED.
Hyomei's Wonderful Action in Curing
a Case Of Thirty Years Standing.
Guaranteed by z. James Belt.

DO not try to cure catarrh by taking
drugs into the stomach. 1t cannot be
cured in that manner. The only way
in which this common disease can be
cured is through a direct application
that will kill the germs Of catarrh and
prevent their growth. Hyomei is the
only known method Of treatment that
accomplishes this. 1t is the simplest
most pleasant, and only absolute cure
for catarrh that has ever been discoy-
cred.
Mrs. c. A. Derby, of Beverly, Mass,
writes my husband has had catarrhal
trouble for thirty years and Hyomei is
the first thing which has ever helped
him. He had catarrh in its worst
form, and nothing except Hyomei ever
had any effect on il whatever This
gave him relief from the first and he
has steadily improved, until now he Is
cured"
The complete Hyomei outfit costs but
one dollar, consisting Of an inhaler and
sufhoient Hyomei 20 last for several
weeks. Extra bottles can be obtained
for fifty cents. 2. James Belt has 50
much confidence in the power OF Hy-

chasers can say Il did not benefit Ask

A WORLD POWER.

TN HIS polished and thoughtful ad-
i dress at the annual dinner OF the
Sons Of Delaware in Philadelphia last
night, Judge George Gray among other
things said:
"Withln the last decade We have be-
come aware that we have been thrust,
as 1t were, out into the front and fore
ground Of the great family Of nations
and have attracted to ourselves an ate
tention that before was unknown. So
Il becomes as to consider what is to be-
come tho place Of this dear land Of ours,
now that It has grown to be a world
power"
II has been hobby with certain poll
tlclans to deny that our elevation to the
dignity OF a world power IS recent. In
disparagement OF the policies OF recent
years which have extended our infu-
enco to the West Indies and to the Far
East, we are told that we were a world
power as far back as 1912. But the term
is flexible. In deciding the questions Of
international usage the autonomy Of
empires ana in giving character and
color to the smaller and the weaker
governments. there are three powers
that take first rank Great Britain, the
United states and Russia. Probably
they should be named In that order, al
though the events of the last few years
incline one to tho opinion that our own
country should be given first place.
Now there are many elements that
enter into the making Of a world power.
Ideas are recognized. and because Of
that fact. John Hay has been able to
force many n peaceful solution Of knot
ty problems where arms, perhaps,
would not have availed. The American
idea, despite national jealousles, has
colorcd tho worlds diplomacy, and we
may rlghtfully claim that the growing
sentiment for the adjustment Of inter-
national disputes by arbitration is an
American idea.
But history has shown that occasions
arise when ideas are not all-powerful
The race may fnd the limitations OF The
power Of ethics at almost any moment
Then soldiers, ships and armaments
speak the decisive word. And while
this remains true, the nations with tn,
broadest Ideas and the noblest purposes
must be prepared to maintain their pol
icies. For should the most enlightened
and humanitarian nations dsarm with
out general cIarmamcnt, then they
would be at the mercy OF the powers
thoy now dominate. For instance
without an army and a navy how much
moral force would England hold over
Turkey?
Judge Gray proceeds very properly tC
praise the spirit which made possible
The Hague Tribunal, and he would
have nations rely more upon the senti-
ments Of peace and Justice, more upor
industry and intercommunication thar
on their battelships and armaments
This sentiment is ideal and is compli
mentary to the jurist's character ant
type Of mind, yet we fear that even Mr.
Hays wise and humane diplomacy a
times might fail without the impression
Of considerable navy, an army and
brave people with great resources T.

From the Cleveland Leader.
