Washington, D. c., Oct. 1.-THE
war in the far east has enlisted the
closest attention of the administration
and it is felt that the time is aD-
preaching when it will be in order
for the great neutral powers to make
a move toward the restoration of
peace. President Roosevelt has from
the first stood ready to use his good
Offices to stop hostilities on basis
honorable to both belligerents, but
he is stopped from moving by the
fact that it has been an unbroken
rule of our government to wait until
it is assured that both sides are will
ing We should act. There has so far
been no open proposition, nor can
it be truthfully stated that even indi-
rect overtures have come to Washing
ton from st. Petersburg or Toxic, but
it is believed that the signs point
to an early move in that direction.

Not So Crushing as Reported.


ST. Petersburg, Oct. 17.-Despite
the feeling of bitter disappointment
over the failure of the Russian offen-
sive and the complete miscarriage OF
Kuropatkin's plans, the battle contiu-
ues, and his defeat does not appear
so crushing and disastrous as the
Toxic dispatches led the Russian pull
lie to believe. While tales of death
and slaughter have plunged the ma
ton into grief, and the exact situa-
tion of Kuropatkin's army especially
on the left is not clear and probably
must be considered as critical, it is
evident that the wild stories of Iout
and cutting off of whole corps, etc,
are baseless. Kuropatkin is still dog
gedly trying to stem the tide AID
there is nothing but admiration for
the heroic figure of the Russian COM
mander personally directing the bat
tie to save his battered legions. The
slaughter is doubtless appalling, but
the war Office contends that the To-
kio reports are exaggerated. Never
theless the war correspondents tele-
graph under yesterdays date that
$4,000 wounded had passed through
Mukden on their way north. not coun-
ting many from the eastern wing
who went through Fusan direct to

to give my unqualified endorsement OF

Dor and have mad good opportunity to
know his true character and real worth.
Mr. Glenn stands above reproach and
without stain upon his moral record.
He is not man to plead temperance and
sobriety in public and then 'tipple' in
private. He does wear two faces one
for the church and preachers and an
ether for politicians and tricksters. If
there is any one thing true of Bob Glenn
it is his honesty and straightforward
ness. 1 have never known or heard OF
his STOPPING to anything that was low
or mean. Politically he fights square out
from the shoulder He is logically the
candidate of the times. He has always
put himself squarely on the side of moral
reform and all those in North Carolina
who are looking for man with a clean
record and who will stand for all that
enpobles and uplifts humanity will find
him in Bob Glenn.
He is the friend Of education and the
public schools which his many public
addresses and utterances will testify. He
is man of intellect and good culture, and
as a lawyer stands in the front rank of
his profession. For the state he has
done as much, if not moro, than any man
in it's bounds to bring it up to its pres
ent high standard of political and ma
terial advancement. As a campaigner he

BRYAN'S FINANCIAL PRINCIPLES
HAVE RECEIVED THE FULLEST
AND MOST THOROUGH VIM
DICATION r ~
Cato in Raleigh Times

Cato in Raleigh Times. !;
We assert with entire confidence that
Mr.. Bryan's financial principles and con
tentions have received in this country the
fullest and most thorough vindication by
the events of our recent national history.
Anyone who knows anything at all about
the matter, and who Is also endowed with
the spirit of ordinary fairness, will admit
at once that the very life and soul of Mr..
Bryan's financial philosophy was and is
the increase of the per capita of circula-
ton in the Republic. 1t is perfectly true
that he and his friends were of the opin-
ion that the easiest the simplest and the
most direct way to increase and maintain
the per capita of our circulation would
be found through the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of sixteen
to one And when this man first came
into prominence in the politics of this
country, it was perfectly clear to all
types of unselfsh patriotism that an in
creased per capita of circulation could be
secured here in no other way; that such
an increase of per capita could be safely
secured and maintained in no other way
as conditions then were. But conditions
have changed since then. The output of
gold from the mines has so largely In
creased that it has become possible to
greatly enlarge the per capita of circula-
ton in the country, without resorting to
the expedient of the free coinage of silver.
And such enlargement of the per capita
of circulation has actually taken place,
not to the credit of the party IN power,
or to the credit of any otber party, but
only because of the increased output OF
gold, which no party could either foresee
or control But the increase of our cir
culation by the increased output of the
mines has made Mr.. Bryan's contention
as to our finances perfectly good. There
is more money in circulation than form
erly; anS this is exactly the result that he
always stoutly maintained should be
brought about.

HE SEES "BLUD".

Some folks are never satisfied unless
they can smell blood. When Dewey was
sinking the Spanish fleet, they were tell
ing us before peace was declared all the
great powers of Europe would surely be-
come involved The latest instance of
this character is in the following telegram
from Boston:
Congressman A. P. Gardner, Senator
Lodges son-in-law, made prediction at
dinner held under the auspices of the
Swampscott Club in that town last even
ing, that war between Great Britain and
Germany is inevitable, and added that,
in his opinion this nation would become
involved as a matter of self-defense.
This declaration was made in a speech
which the congressman delivered upon the
merchant marine, and caused surprise.
AS soon as war breaks out said the
speaker, they will sweep each others
commerce from the seas, and who is TO
take the monopoly of the trade which
these two. countries enjoy? We could not
in that event, keep from being involved
in the maelstrom of strife. and our only
salvation would be to join in that war. y
NODOuy' can ever -lel1, VI COuISt. WIdt
countries may become involved in war,
but there seems little probability for the
war which son-in-law Gardner talks about
so glibly. Who gave him the key to see
into the future and divulge what is ''in-
evitable?"
WAR is hell" The men who needlessly
bring on war are murderers. We are to-
day too much under the power OF men,
led by the strenuous President, who glory
in war His reckless usurpation of pow
er and craze to make an army and navy
that will rival the old world countries,
bodies no good for American peace, and
his followers, like Gardner, of course, go
a little further than he does in public de-
clarations, but do they not get their in
spiration from the Rough Rider?

rugged honesty to dig the canal than
to hold office here at home, for expert
'ence has shown that many men kept
honest by environment in the home ser
vice have become notriously corrupt
when sent to govern colonists or do work
in the tropics. They seem to think that
they are there out of the lime-light and
may grab all they can get. If the coun-
try is malarial, like Panama, they often
think they should steal enough in a few
years to return home to revel in wealth.
And the history of all countries, hold
ing colonies abound with such experiences.
The very fact that the national honor
was stained to obtain the right to build
this canal, that the route was changed
in obedience to the owners of Panama
stock and the transcontinental railway
that in spirit this administration inl
spiried the uprising of the eight men
who seeded, that the President made
the greatest usurpatio of power ever
known in history in order to carry out
his own plan and defy the will of Con-
gress-all these things will tend to
increase the tendency toward graft and
extravaganza, and they cannot be with
stood except by men whose high ideals

larla or a tropical sun.
