BUTTONS MAKE TROUBLE.
Democrats, However, Finally Decide
to Adopt Double Standard.

CHICAGO, Oct. "A blunder has
caused the Democratic National Com
rnittee to issue a double set of cam
paign buttons. A large number of the
buttons were delivered at headquarters
recently, when the managers were
startled to find the lineaments Of Par
ker and Davis, both done in a hectic
pink. staring from a background of
gold.
Thousands of the buttons had been
expressed to Western States by the
time the discovery was made and a
fear that the Bryanites might take
Umbrage led the. leaders to place an
order for a smaller button, with Par
ker and Davis ensconsced in an environ
ment of silver. These We're sent to
Nebraska and other Western States,
while the gold faced buttons were re-
called and distributed elsewhere.

Movement Should be Taken From
Hands of Politicians.

BOSTON, Oct. EVERY seat in
fremont Temple was occupied this

mass meetings which -precede the

included Rev. Walter Walsh, D. D., of
Dundee, Scotland. and Rabbi Borko-
witt of Philadelphia.
DR.. Walsh's address was an impas-
stoned appeal to remove the peace
movement from the hands of poIiti-
clans and place it in the hands of the
churches. He declared that although
war is bad. the war spirit was in
finitely worse and said it was the duty
of the churches to kill the war spirit

nenL t1eS1QenL OF Keno.
RENO, New. Oct. 2.-George Sax
ton, very prominent young man of
Reno and a graduate Of the University
of Nevada, is reported to be stricken
with pneumonia on the Amargosa
Desert, about eighty miles south OF
Goldheld. His condition is so serious
that he cannot be moved, although he
is on one of the bleakest parts of the
great Nevada Desert. A messenger
brought the word to Goldfield early
this morning. A. relief party was inn
mediately organized by Carl Stoddard,
an old friend of Saxton's, and sent to
the sick man. On account of the re-
cetn storms in that section it will be
dicult to render aid. The country also
is very rough and II may take week
before he can be moved, If he still
lives, to Goldf1eld.
Several weeks ago Saxton and
party of young men left to prospect
the AmargoSa Desert. This is the
first word received since they left.

BENEFITS OF ARBITRATION.

The declaration in the ST. Louis platform in
favor OF arbitration is one that appeals TO
any sense Of fairness Nations and States
have employed TO advantage this method Of
settling disputed questions. States have invoked
its aid with good results. and individuals fire.
Quently have resorted TO il in adjusting Ques-
tions OF difference The Hague tribunal, repre-
senting the sentiment OF conciliation is the
highest practical expression of intelligent
thought on this subject. The principles Of
arbitration are the same. whether governing

affairs Of individual life Its permanent estab-
lishment as part of the industrial system

All lovers of their country must deprecate
the rehs biitation by the Republican party Of
disappearing race issue at a time when every

the States where slavery had existed toward
