When a dog's tall is tread on he ia apt to bark. The "machine" is waking to a realiza? tion that It is going to bo hit, and hit hard. The Democratic "michine" has a few broken cogs, but is still grinding at the old stand. ExTiiACTfrom tho "machine" consti? tution: "We believe in tho supremacy of the oomblno over the psoplo and in the greatest good to tho greatest greaser." When a gilded popinjay thirsts for notoriety he often cuts such antics and exposed such portions of his anatomy as to loave the spectator in doubt as to whether he is a biped or a quadrupod. The "machine" is making a bigelfort to get votr s among Republicans, Popu ? lists and Prohibitionists. A week ago ^ho. political sports who handle tho "machino" were not so condescending. They boasted that they had enough machlno men to chew up tho opposition. It has leaned from tho undiacrnot tongue of a gilded youth who acts aa "Bupo" to tho machine, that tho ques? tion of putting a dry man on tho ma? chine ticket waa duly considered and de? cided inadvisable, tho unanimous opin? ions leing that a dry man could not bo elected. This oalls to mind tho old story that when a man gets "bllin*" drunk he is willing to swear that he is the only sober man in sight. The "machine" has issued instruc? tions to i'.s heelers and strikers that an "alternating" process must bo followed. Certain days aro to bo devoted to going among tho Democrats and informing them that the Citizens' tloket is com? posed of Republicans, and should bo squelched, and alternate days must bo devoted to button-holing Republicans, and informing them that tbo Citizens' ticket is composed of Democrats. Tbo wayj of tho macbino aro numerous and dirty, but not past finding out. Again we c*ll on tho "boys'' to ox plain why that snako in-tho-crass, tho now famous "application" blank, was issued by tho "machine." Tho poop'o of Roanoko are of tho opinion that it was i6Htioi for a deep-dyed, villainous purpose. The attempt to whitewash theschemo by the testimony of Innocent moths is a dismal flzz'.o. Tho people are of the same opinion still. Tho faco of the document Is the plainest sort of evidence of intended treachery and fraud. The devil was sick, the ilcvil a monk would be. The devil was well, the devil a monk was ho. When the "boys" met at Salom to nominate their machine ticket, that "apple of their eyo," tho Walton law, was silently and gently nursed as a thing of b auty and a joy forever. Later when an occasional Democrat spoke his mind about this instrument of fraud and theft, the machine became nervous and fidgety. A llttlo later tho honor loving Democrats, who love their coun? try first and their party next,became so numerous and bold In their utterance of disapproval of such dirty, contemptlblo and thoiving methods of stealing votes that tho "machlno" took fright and in its agonizing fear and cowardico would first Imploro, then fcobly remonstrate Tbe machlno draws most horriolo pic turea of that miserable. thrcad-bato, boggy and makeshift "Negro domina? tion." This has boen tbo sd?ok of tho CDwarvMy demagogue and political pol- | troon for years, but tho pooplo are be- | ginning to soe that its roal uso is to keep tho pap-Buckors and bummers in \ tat jobs. "Must" and "shall" aro powerful words, Qt for the uso of klugs and monarohs. The utteranco of such words breathe a disregard and oontempb for the opinions of others. When one of tbo chief fuglemen of tho Democratic machine in this city stated that the candidate for tho State senate on tho Citizens ticket "must and shall be de? feated" ho spoke not only his desires, not only his contempt for the people, but he spoko the settled determination of the "machine" to win the fight at any hazard, by any scheme of fraud, treachery and villainy that presents itSL'lf. -* ? *?? Hil 1) BALLOT AND A FA IK COUNT. The letter of "Democrat", published elsewhere in Tub Timks, deserves the careful consideration of all classes of readers. The day has gone by in this community when any men or clasB of neon, whatever their poraonal or politi? cal views, can dictate to voters what ballots they shall cast. As free American citizens they have a right to voto as their judgments and consciences dictate, and to say that men 6hould wear the collar of aDy clique, faction or party, simply because of tho name it bears, 13 an InBult to their intelligence. Tho Citizens' ticket represents tho sober,second thought of the people of this district. Democracy's name has been used long enough as a oloak to hide sins which are foreign to its nature and unknown to its creed. The ballot has been perverted to accomplish personal ends, instead of carrying out the true sentiments of the people, and Demo? crats, as well as Republicans, Prohibi? tionists and Populists, are rising in their might to secure honest and fair elec? tions. The Walton law is acknowledged even by its apologists as being a failure in many respects, and its unconditional repeal is now demanded by the liberty loving people of the State. All men have a right to thoir political views. Tho attempt to apply tho party lash in thiB election will be futilo. Democrats have a right to insist on good government, and when the ring that controls the action of that party refuses to allow a frco expression of opinion, it is thoir duty, no les3 than their privi? lege, to join with those who are aiming to secure tbo sacrednes3 and freedom of tho ballot. Bluff and bulldoelng will not avail. Argument and reason aro the only weapons that can bo used, and tho further the members of the combine depart from this path of justice and common sense the greater will bo tho majority for the Citizens' tlckot next November. WKESTL1N? WITH A NEW WORD. Readers of Tiik Timks are generally very intelligent poople, who understand what thr-y read. But ono of them com? plains that hu is utterly at a less to understand tho word "(loo Gcos," which has lately broken loose in town, and ho a3ks The Times for a d. finitlnn of it. That a man of superior intelligence should not understand such a word is not strange, because it is not a word based upon intelligence or in any sense appealing to understanding. It is from the lower strata of life and so far as it expresses anything it convey a the spleen of that element. It is from the slums of New York, and was pickod up and adopted by the Now York Sun, which is the journalistic sewer through which tho malign depravity and corruption from the gutters of Gotham finds vent in the vortex of Tammany Ball politics. That erratic freak of journalism uses tho word with much unctious glee to designate any parson who disapproves of tho unscrupulous macbino methods of Tammany Hall, which institution is nothing moro nor Icbs than an organized band of freebootora, with a few decent psoplo lured into tho ranks to lend respectability to "tho orginorzashun" in order that ''do bjos 'can do business under tho rospcctab'.o namo of Democ? racy. Aa to tho derivation of tho now word there aro various stories. But tho most authentic and reasonable, is that two Tammany Hall heelers met in front of a bowery saloon to talk over "do situa shun." Who l tho drunken ono as? signed the soberer man to vote six times tho latter demurrod on the ground of danger. Thereupon tho mellow ate. ten man is said to havo exc'.aimed in groat disgust: "O, say (hie), you/.o is a (bic) Goo-Goo! (Hie) Youzo is! See?" Some narrators state that the engaged leader intended to say good-goody and others say tho anathoma would have been "good government," in allusion to tho good government clubs, if the over-joy? ful chief hadn't stumbled with his tongue. Nevertheless, tho word soems to havo greatly pleaicd tho grotesque anti fat editor of Tho Sun and ho is using it freely to help him out of a mighty hard place, with indllToront buccoss. Doubtless othors in a similar dilemma and with nothing olso to rely upon will attempt to imitate him in somo sort of fashion if they agroe with him that honesty in poli;ic9 is disgusting and a desiro for good government is a re? proach.

Citizens' Ticket In the Lend. Euitoh ok Thk Times:?I am juat from the Holllns neighborhood, where thn Citizens' Ticket is in the load. The Prohibitionists are generally indignant at the "wetness'' of the Democratic ticket and thn lac t of rcspeot shown the large temporanao element in the county, by which the "dry" sentiment was ignored. Many Demoorats are dissatis? fied with tholr own ticket because tho people have become tired of politicians, and especially of corporation politicians, whose records havo not boon true to their constituents. The people want a new deal and will not "wear the collar" any longer. They are waking up all along the lino and are determined to robuko recreant candidates. In the first place tbey want fair elec? tions and then tbey want fair platforms and fair candidate- to stand on thorn. I have heard many endorsements, even I from Democratic nources, of what I noticed in your paper last week, viz: that tho heelers and henchmen bad gotten the pies and plums undor this administration, and the applicants for a position, however old he bad grown in tho service of his country, was doomed to disappointment unless he was closely identified witb tho questionable methods of tho machine. 1 also observe that many of the Democratic papors and politicians havo gone over to the sido of honest elections since tho inauguration of that movement. I almost feel it my duty to remain at home in disgust on election day as did tens of thousands of my fellow-Democrats in Now York, Maryland and everywhere else last fall, when tho Republicans swept the coun? try like a cyclone. Democrat. Salem, Va., Oct. 14, 1805. AMI SIOI I'.NTS. "Only i4 Furnier'? Daughter" at the Acad? emy To-night. The Philadelphia Ledger says. Tho comedy drama, "Only a Farmer's Daughter," was presented last evening at too Arch Street Theatre. Harold Lenox, a wealthy author, is the rara avis wboso home is broken up through tbo machinations of an adventuress and her gentleman friend. Mr. Lenox, whose head might well bo turned at finding himself made opulontby a clever pen, dreaniB of society success, and Is Irritated by tho simple domesticity of hia honest loving wife. He considers that her farm naming is a drag upon his social progress, and, wbilo his head is in the clouds, the villains in the plot contrive to get him into situations which compromise him in the eyes of his wife. Then comes a breach, and the Beemlng triumph of vice over virtue is followed in by tho confession of the culpable, and "all's well that ends well." MiBS Helen North, aB the star of the organization, oasily maintains her position, evon if her company is an exceptionally strong one. Manager Hooper has reduced the prices for this engagement and it should bo grooted by a packed house. Roroom ber tec prices, 25, :s."> and 50c. Lidioa free when accompanied by a paid ticket. Corlnuo in "Hendrik llinlHon, Jr.," Satur? day, Ociolior 1!?. Tho following Is taken from tho Washington Post, where Cjrinuo ap? peared last Monday night: It was fasc approaching midnight when the curtain foil last evening at the Academy of Music, in the last act of Cjrinno'.s operatic extravaganza of "Hendrik Hudson, Jr ," and mo largo audience's demands for encores alono was rt sponslblo for the length of the performance Tho piece is full of Drotty musio aid glriB. tun and effective ?cenory. Corinno, of course, was tbo bright, particular star of the evening, and her singing, graceful dancing and oomplete mastery of the mandolin served to strengthen bor hold upon tbo favor of her audience Tho company is an unusually strong one. A very laugh ab'.o burlo?quo on Trilby gave Mr. Urinnoll an oxoollent opportunity as Svengali, which he made the most of, aa did Corinno as Trilby, her singing of "Ben Holt" winning a well-deserved encore. Prices for the Corinno Opera Company will be 25o, 50o, 75o and Si. Seats will bo put on sale this morning at 12 o'clock. Two Performances For One AdmiKtlou. On Tuesday, October 22, Manager Hooper, of the Academy of Music at Roanoko. will havo a grand gala day of ' it. and in order that tho people every? where may havo tho full benefit of it, special prices at an unheard-of i-calo aro made for that day only. Oilmore's famous band of fifty porfonu' rs, and Miss Ida Klein, prima donna, of Now York, will appear in grand concert in the afternoon at 2 o'clock, and In tbo evening Eugono Robinson's Now York Dramatic Company v.ill appear in "A Ride For Life," a now and thrilling drama. By a special arrangement ben twcen Manager Hooper and tho mana? gers of the two attractions, prices have been arrangod so that a ticket good for admission to both performances will ba sold for 81, which wili entitle purchas? ers to a reserved seat to each perform? ance without any exjra charge. Ad? mission to gallery will bo only 25 conts to each performanco. These prices ar9 only about half tho usual rales, but tho managers olfer the exceedingly low rates so that persons m?y como from a distance, enjoy two groat performances and yet not bo com? pelled to lay out much money. I KIKNl) TO SYRIANS . Itev. Father .J. Yaabek, From tho Holy Lund, -it St. Andrew's (Catholic) Church. Rev. Father J. Yassbek, the Syro Maronito missionary, is tho guest of Rev. Father J. VV. Lynch. Ho arrived Saturday evoning from Richmond, this being his second visit to this city, tho former visit being about sixteen months ago. On his former visit ho conducted a successful mission among tho Syrian colony in Roanoke. On Sunday ho celebrated tho 10 o'clock mass according to the ritoof tho Maronltes, using the Syro-Chaldeic lan? guage instead of the Latin, which, with this exception, is universal. Not alone tho Syrians, but all present worodeeply interested in his sermon, as it was full of instruction and information. Father Yazbek is the same reverend gentleman who delivered the address at Washington before the Eucharistie Con? gress. This address called forth many deserved encomiums from the Catholic as well as tho Becular press. The services on Sunday wore of unusual in? terest, as it Is seldom our people have a chance to hear a divlno who comes di? rect from tho Holy Land, ablo to so intelligently givo an accurate account of tho ancient traditions. Father Ya/bok'a missionary field ex ? tends almost to the whole country where his cauntrytnon colonize and very often thoeo poor people And in him thoir main support, not only for spiritual, but for temporal wants. This is due not only to the implicit confidence reposed, but to their ignorance of our languaga and customs In many cases he settles thoir troubles In a fatherly way, saving the civil authorities much annoyance. Once a Syrian lacking stifilcient and efficient legai talent to defend him. was sentenced to fiva years in the Ohio peni? tentiary. After ho had served eighteon months, Father Yazbeok heard of it, and arming him-tnlf with the facts, he called on Governor McKinley and had tho poor man released of three and a half years of his sentence. Since com Ing here ho has h?-ard of an accidont to a Syritn, duo, as has been reported to him, to some carelessness of the Norfolk and Western railroad employes. Ho says ho intends to look c'osaly into tho facts s.nd endeavor to have the company ccmponsate tne pjor man. Ho says h>s will first petition tho officials of the company for a satisfactory settlement, and failing in this, will see that proper ctunsei ii furnished to urgo a Battle mint.
