Committee. -?-1 Relative to the communication printed in another column of The Times this morning the editor would say that Mr. Watts is welcome to uho reasonable space in The Times to justiiy himself before tho people if he can. The Democratic machine grinders are whiBtling in the woods. The closer and darker the clouds of defeat gather the louder the "boys" whistle. Keep it up, "boye," if it makes you feel moro cheorful. It will certainly not alTect the result noxt Tuesday. Some very rldiculouB and amusing things occur in a political campaign. a lew days ago the Democratic machine managers appointed a committee of ono to steal the files of The Times that thoy might be culled for political thunder to be used against the candidate for tho senate on the Citir-ans ticket. The gen? tleman (?) entrusted with the job re? ported to hlB bosses yesterday that "the thing could not be did." General Co key's bou has loft homo with the avowed intention of going to Cuba, where it is supposed he will join the insurgent! in their Btruggle against tho haughty Spaniards. The love of ad? venture must be a Btronc* trait in tho Coxey family, judging by tho erratic career ot the General himself in his "grand" march to Washington at the hoad of tho Commonweal army and the subsequent course of other members. The Democratic party heelers are telling on the streets that if the election had occurred a week ago the Citizens ticket would have been elected, but now tho machine crowd has got itB second wind and their candidates are almost out of the woods, and still gain? ing. Boys, that sort of figuring won't do. Your slate has a crack in it. Next Tuesday will be one of the best days in the year for snowing your candidates under. The President and Secretary of War, on the recommendation of General Miles, commander?in-chief of the United States army, have changed the name of Sandy Hook to Hancock Point. While it may bo very well sometimes to alter tho name of a place, the wisdom of this change is very much to bo doubted. Sandy Hook Is both euphonious and ap? propriate, and has in its favor a long line of historical associations. Han? cock Point, on tho other hand, has nono of these recommendations, and, besides this, the gallant American soldier, whom It is thus attempted to honor, does not need such a reminder to keep alive his memory In tho hearts of his countrymen. Ills deeds are a part of the hlBtory of the great Amerloan re? public. THE MILLER RILL. We publlBh elsewhere "A Scrap of History" from the Salem Sentinel, which speaks for itself. In general terms it gives the alms and purposes of the Miller bill, with the vote of those who favored it when it passed tho State senate in February of last year. Tho peoplo of Roanoke will remember tho excitement which the attempt to S9cure the passage of this most obnoxious measure caused hero and in other por? tions ot the commonwealth. Tho author of the bill was Senator Miller, and its purpose was to nullify tho olfects of the local option law of tho State so far as it applloi to cities and towns with a population of 2,500 and $ M T W T 18 3 6 9 8 O 10 13 14 15 Hi; 17 so 81 89 83 84 8? 88 ?0 30 31 ovjr. It was a most "unjust and un- | ?Wiso measure, ani It was oponlv claimed that ono of Its main objects was to defeat tho decision of tho people of this city and Staunton in refusing to lioonso tho sale of intoxi? cating liquors. It was plainly at variance with ail Democratic precedents and with every principle of home rule, which has ever been a sacred teuot of that party. For * tunately, after it had passed tho State senate it was killed in tho house of del? egates, where Ub revolutionary tenden? cies and oppressive features woro fully realized. Tho senator from this district advocated this bill and voted for It on its passage. The advocacy of such a bill means that he who advocatos It con? siders himself a better judge of the wants and needs of a city than the thousands of voters who conduct its business affairs.

It is said to be the impression in official circles at Washington that tho reply of Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olnoy'i note will be dllTeront from what too sotnl-offlctal utterances of the Lon? don papers had led the world to suppose. It is believed that these expressions of views indicated the course tho British premier at first desired to take; but it is thought now that he has concluded not to press matters to an issue, while so many other complications are threat? ening the government, and will either give an evasive reply or refrain from any aggressive course likely to lead to a crisis. The British ministry, whon a Presi? dential campaign in the United States is near at hand or pending, are accus? tomed to take much of the diplomatic talk on this side of the water as bun combo and Lord Salisbury was at first disposed to so regard Mr. Olney's note in regard to Venezuela; but it is be? lieved he has since learned that the administration Is thoroughly in earnest and will therefore pursue a more circumspect course than he at first in? tended.

EniTon Sentinel?On Dsge 204 of the journal of tho senate, of Virginia, under the date of Friday, February 2,1891, wo find the following: "No. 130, senato bill to amend and re-enact title 13, chapter 25, sections 581, 582, 583, 584, 585, 586 and 587 of tho Oode of Virginia of 1887, entitled, to provide for submitting the question of liquor licBnso to the qualified voters of counties, corporations and magisterial districts, was taken up, read the third time and passed?ayes 17; noes 10. "On motion of Mr. Walton the vote was recorded as follows: "Ayes: Messrs. Arthur, Thomas U. Harnes, Berry, Echols, Fairfax, Flood, Green, Hay, Herbert, Jones, Little, Lovenstein, Miller, Mushback, Parrish, Washington and Watts?)7." This bill will take its place in history as ono of the most dangorous measures ever advocated in the Virginia legisla? ture. The object of tho bill was to take from the people of all tho cities of Virginia tho right to voto on tho ques? tion of lecal option. It was one of the boldest attempts ever madoin the name of Democracy to put the yoke of tyranny on tho people of the cities of this State. Fair-mindod men engaged in the liquor business denounce this bill as most revolutionary and dangerous in its ten? dencies. This bill passed the senate, but was fortunately killed in the lower house. The record shows that the Hon. J. Allen Watts favored this hill and voted for It. citizen. Go and hear General Walker at the Opera House to-night. The Political Rnlldozer. The political bulldozer has two legs, and walks on end juBt like a man. He nas not the courage ot the ruffian, nor the suavity of the pickpocket. He is meaner, if possible, than tho common rogue, and has all the instincts of a third-class bull terrier. Vou will find him among all classes of society-, and tho moro respectable he is from his associations the moro disgusting his presence becomes to tho honest votors. Around tho polls his influence is only equalled by his cowardice, and oven his associates despise him. By shrewdly seeking his victims from among the non-combatants ho assumes the pre? tensions of the horo, and quite often manages to deceive thepoopie for years with success; but tho political bully, like all other outrages, has his day of petty Importance, and when his defeat comes it is as crushing to him as it is agreeable to all respectable voters.?Ex? change.

Washington, Oot. 30.?Under the title of "The Happy Hunting Grounds of tho South" the Southern railway has in proas a beautiful and comprehensive book appertaining to tho hunting and fishing of the States through which that system ex*.ends. This is the first j time that such a publication has beon ! attempted, exhibiting in such an at I tractive manner the almost innumerable I roaorts for sportsmen in tho South. The publication will be issued prior to November 1, 1895, and will be obtaina? ble through any of tho agents of the Southern railway system. Htartling Armenian Newa.

EruTOK of Tue Times:?The Demo? crats are claiming that all that has ever been done for the cause of temperance in Virginia was done by the Democrats. This is not a fact. The present local op? tion law was passed by Republloan and Democratic votes, numbers ot the most prominent Democrats in the legislature voting against the local option bill, while nearly all of the Republicans voted for it. The local option bill was not passed as a party measure. Now wo hear that tho temperance people stood by the Democratlo party two years ago. Yes they did and what did they got by it? Why one J. Allen WattB, who they fought for and elected, went to the sen? ate and voted to repoal local option In towns and cities of 2,500 people and over, and in the face of this the Demo? crats again nominated Mr. Watts for tho senate and are now asking temperance mon to vote for him. What for?togivo WattB another opportunity to vote against local option? Capt. W. W. Berkeley, In our fight in the city of Roanoke for local option, al? though not a resident of the city, took sides with and spoke in favor of\ the whiskey men and then went to the city ot Richmond as the paid attorney of tho Virginia Browing Company to use his influence to have tho local option law repealed, but the Captain is reported as saying that he only did what any other attorney would have dono. Well If this be true it doesn't make it right. An attorney's business is to represent his client in court and not to lobby to aecut e the passage of bills in favor of the whis? key men. Is it right to take a fee and try and impose a curse upon a commu? nity? Major McCartney 1b a distiller and a barkeeper, having taken out a barroom license since this canvass began. From such a combination can we expect any legislation favorablo to tho cause of temperance? Christ said: "He that is not for Me is against Me." Now, Watts, Berkeley and McCartney are not for local option, and, therefore, they are against us. Christian men, the Bible, which you claim as your guido, says that all you do must be done for the glory of God. Can you vote this Demccratic ticket, and Bay, with a good conscience: "I do this for the glory of God?" A ticket more favorable to the whiskey men could not have boon found. In the dis? trict. Voters, remember the record of tho Democratic candidates on the whiskey question when you go to vote, and also remember that the Citizens ticket offers you Claytor, Joins and Hannah, good and true men, against whom not one word oan bo truthfully spoken. Well, well! We see from The Times that Captain Rogers, Democratic chair? man, made an apology to the people of Bonsack for having McCartney on the ticket. What next? A citizen.

C , Oct. 30 ?The con? stitutional convention devoted the day to a discussion of the Patton substitute requiring as suffrage qualification ser? vice in Confederate or Union armies or descent from such, with property and educational qualifications. The debate was mainly as to the constitutionality of the subject it was killed by a vote of 117 to 20 An amendment striking out the prop? erty qualification but retaining the un? derstanding the constitution clause for all time was voted down by about the same vote. Senator Tillman made a short speech on this question,but he did not cover the whole suffrage question. MBS.

CeBpedes, tho leader of the expedition is the son of the first president of the Cub .in pro? visional government. He la well known In New York where he was educated. He holds the rank of general In the Cuban army. Trouble at the Washington Navy Yard.
