To the managers of tho Democratic
party: Bettor mind how you give your
journalistic calf ropo. It will soon hang
itself. ^__
The repeated elTorts by tho agents of
the local Democratic managorB to draw
tho Catholic religion into tho prosont
campaign is not only disgusting to ail
Catholics, but nauseating to all honor?
able men. Tho olTort at auch work only
furnishes evidence that voto-stoallng is
only orto of dirty jibs tb.9 Democratic
managers will resort to.
The New York Heraid says: "Tho
entire nation must wish all success
to the Southern Exposition, recently
oponcd at Atlanta. It is an event in
the history of tho South intended to
show at onco the progress tho Southern
poople have mado oinco tho war and tbo
futuro achievement of which thoy aro
capable. Tho progress has been tho
marvel of tho age. It has developed a
now South, advanced in trade, industry,
wealth, business enterprise and gen?
eral prospority to a degree undreamed
of a quarter of a century ago; a South
rich in. natural resources, full of orom?
is;> i jr the future "
While tL'-:-t^ may be bom. truth lo
tho report thai England has agreed to
onter into iv convention Lo sottlo the
Venezuelan boundary dispute tho action
of the Kritinh cjlonial secretary In
strengthening the forcus along tho dis?
puted frontier indicates that If the
troops of tho South American reoublic
assume tho aggressive they will find
John Bull fully prepared to moet them.
At all eve-its tho situation in a grave
one, as with the commencement of
hostilities betweenVenczuela and Groat
Britain the Monroe dcctrlno will as?
sume an importance that will very

CANDIDATES OF A CLH.H i:.
Tcis morning The Times prints an
interview with a life-long Democrat
who wa3 never before known to vote
any other tnar. a Democratic ticket and
wno says he now only departs from his
usual course in politics for what ho bn
lioves to be the host Interests of hi'.
party and f ir the public welfare. ! :
that ho tak.-s tho right viow of tho
matter.
Nothing strengthens a really sub?
stantial political party rnoro than a
thorough defeat. It brings tho bout
elements to tho front and clears away
the barnaclos and vampires which
accumulate through a long period of un?
interrupted success. It reminds thought?
less loaders and solfiah aspirants that
the people aro still there and i-. inspires
a wholesome respect for the public
opinion, which is apt to bo Ignored In
times of continued prospority.
Self-conBtltutod leaders are the most
arbitrary people on earth and under tho
Intoxicating lnfluencoe of apparently
perennial prospority thoy are apt to for?
get that Individuals compose a com?
munity and that Dy thu good will of tho
public their civil condition was created
and upon tho approval of that public
their continued existence depends.
Defeat broadens tho views of tho ward
at&lGSman more surely than any other
agency could. It is tho only thing that
ein pursuado bim to treat voters with
any consideration. Nothing that does
cot injuriously a ilect his personal pur
poses oan yoRsibly ponouato tho donso
growth of bin self esteem,
When they tnoct an ltdverSO majority
nt tho polls, tho f.vc: may thou dawn
upon tho wiso muii of tho wards that i:
is judicious to consult tho voters before 1
putting up candidates, and It is no vio- ^
lation of Democratic principles.
Hut tho candidates now asking tho
suffrages of voters aa Democrats r.ro not
tho real choice of any political party,
and lira not entitled to tho allogiancjof
any voter for purely party reasons. In
tho intorost of genuine, party foalty, If
for no higher reason, tholr solfishncss
ought to bo rebuked at tho polls by
defeat.
They did not consider party autonomy
nor individual proforencos in forcing
themselves upon tho party thoy claim
to represent. Therefore, no party and
no individual owes thom any considera?
tion whatever.

The extracts from Senator Sherman's
book, sent out from Chicago by the
Associated Press, do not show the Ohio
statesman in a very am'ablo light
He is evidently disappointed, notwith?
standing ho has reachc d r> high round on
the ladder cf fame, its nut obtaining the
Prosidc-ncy of :ho (Jolted States, afcd
very naturally tools sort toward.! those
who thwarted hh ambition, His inti?
mations of tricke ry on tho part of I'reir
Ident Garfiald, however, do not appear*
to hold good in tho lig'al of hiitory,
whloh shows taa-, the latter was faith*
ful to Sherman as long as thoro was $
chance for his nomination. For a raari
to refuse a prize because it is impossi?
ble for his friend to obtain it, would
bo to sacrifice self on the altar of senti*
mcnt, something that Senator Shermari
would be tho last man to do, if ono Is tc\
judge him by bis political record; and ;
y o: that was what ho seems to think Mr.
Garflold ought to have dono in regard to
tho Republican nomination for Presi?
dent in 1380. The truth is, Senator
Sherman is a cold, selfish, practical
man, disposed to hold every one rigidly
accountable whoro his own Interests
aro concerned, jot unwilling to make
any compensating sacrifices for others.
This trait In his character is possibly
the real cause of his failure to attain
tho summit of his ambition, tho Presi?
dency of tho Unitod Statos.

What Some Prominent Citizens Say of the
Outlook.
A representative of Tiik TIMES In his
roundB yesterday found tho peoplo ready
and willing to express their opinions att
to tho outcome of tho pending cam?
paign.
A srontlomun, prominent in Demo?
cratic circles and heretofore an enthu?
siastic worker and, by tho way, an
otticer of one of the ward clubs, upon
being asked for his opinion, stated that
he cmsidored that Allen Watts' cake
was about baked.
A metnbor of tho old Democratic
regime, whon discussing Mr. Watts' posi?
tion on the Oas and Water Company,
Btated that if Mr. Watts were to oilVr
tho same bill a aecona time bo would
vote for bim.
' Another good Democrat wants to
know why Mr. Watts could no; oflor his
"meant, explanation" aa to tho oobition
bo occtrpio.i in regard to tho (its and
Water bill when tho matter was ''Strictly
trash" in hi-j mind unl the'condemna?
tion mooting ot the Council and Indigna?
tion mooting of the citizens of Roanoke
wore brought tobii attention uni thus
?,ct himself right with bis constituents.
A prominent politician from the
Southern par; of the count / brought i;i
good news for tho "Citizens' ticicst,"
and predicted that there would n ot bo a
corporal's guards of machine Dem >
crati; voters in that ptrt of the county.
The news from Vinton, straight from
a lifo-long Damcc-at, is that Mr.
Horkoley will lose a majority of the
votos In bis own town and, from tho
present outlook the Citizens' ticket will
carry tho town by a good round ma?
jority.
Two of the Democratic boys, a candi?
date and his "booster," spent a day re?
cently with ex-Treasurer Ilrand at hia
home In Roanoke c mnty, and wore so
hospitably entertained that they
jumped to tho conclusion that tho ex
troasurer would support tho machine
combination and have beon busy spread?
ing tho "news." Like RlOSt boomerangs,
tho thing has reacted, and tho boys
havo boon struck between the 03 s.
Tho story was called to tho attention of
Mr. Hrand yesterday and ho promptly
branded it as a mild political fabrica?
tion? that he intended to deposit a
solid Citizens' ticket and hoped to son
the en ac hi no crci.vd sno .veil undt r beyond
tho hope t.f resurrection.

A Superb I'orfonuauce at the Academy
Last Night.
A superb performance of "Hendrick
Hudson, or tho Discovery of Columbus,"
anexqul3ito operatic extravaganza, was
given by the Kimball Opera Company at
tho Academy last night and it is a pleas?
ure to record that lioauoke turned out
a fair audience in appreciation of tho
managerial enterprise that secured this
tine organization as an attraction.
Magnificently staged, superbly dressrd,
finely equipped with fresh, brilliant
chorus voices, and fairly teeming wtth
beautiful tableaux and rich elfects, tho
extravaganza was the best that has yet
been seen in our city, and a more uni?
formly excellent collection of principal
it would bo hard to find on the stage of
the present day.
Oorinne, the graceful, shapely
burlesque actress and charming
einKcr, completely cap'.ivated her
audie^o in the character of
Hendrick Hudson. Her voieo Is a
rich musical contralto, and it was won?
derfully e irectivo in tho gipsy song from

Coi inno has few equals, her perform

"Cavaleria Rustlcana" stamping her as
an artist on tho instrument,
i Mr. Grlnnell, as Kill Von Kull.was ir
fTesistlbly comic, his absurdities keeping
I the audience in a perpetual roar. Other
special features of the rjerformance wero
the singing of Mabel Nichols and Lilian
Knott, tho intensely comic business of
Lindsay Morrison and CharleB Koste He
and the magnificent dance of tho
Amazons In tho second act.
If any weak feature existed In tho
performance it was tho stiff action and
Bomewhat ineffective voice of Marry
Dieiz, in tho character of Gaff Ensign.
Taken as a whole, tho performance
was first class, and it is to be hoped
that this organization will, in the near
future, visit Roanoko again.
