J. Taylor Ellyson is now figuriug ou
the lieutenant governorship. "My name
is Jimmie, I'll take what you gimme."
A South Carolina editor was struck by
lightning while [attending church. This
should be a warning to all editors who
are prone to stray from the beaten paths.
Some men live a long time before they
find out what very little importance is at?
tached to what they say or do. and some
cf them die believiug.they are the greatest
men that ever lived.
Emperor William of Germany has de?
veloped a sudden fondness for the Turks,
but it will be discovered wbtn the test
comes that be thinks a gieat~dcal more
Of himself than be does of the Turks or
anybody else.
Call not that man your friend who al?
lows your enemies to poison bis mind
against you, and with a sickly hypocriti?
cal smile conies to sympathize with you
in having such a weak brother in your
employment.
Now that Eugene V. Debs has aban?
doned bis socialistic scheme of coloniza?
tion, it is in order for Coxey to come for?
ward with bis army of disgrunt'ed
tramps and take the government from
the hands of its despoilers.
The San Francisco chamber of com?
merce bus presented a petition to Con?
gress urging the immediate annexation of
Hawaii to the United States. San Fran?
cisco generally knows what she wants and
does not hesitate to make her wants
known.
The Christian^ii.'lcavorers in their trip
^to..,Ssir rrancisco met with many disas?
ters. Collisions occurred at vnrious
points along the route an'1 many were
seriously hurt. They are a uob'e body of
Christian workers and deserve the sym
pahty of all the country.
The United States warship at the Vic?
torian jubilee made a very fine showing;
but the wai ships of the good queen at
the^Spitbend review showed very conclu?
sively that England was the mistress of
the seas, ami is still the greatest Euro?
pean power if the occasion demands it..
The Holt will case has been revived in
Washington and will probably be beard
and disposed or some time next fall. It
is very much mixed. A clever forgery
lias been accomplished somewhere or the
heirs of the late judge advocate have been
very much imposed upon, it is hard to
say which.
Samuel .1. Randall, son of the great
Pennsylvania Democrat protect ionist,has
been appointed coiner of the mint at
Philadelphia, and thus virtue is its own
reward. His father was a political
anomaly. He always stood up for pro?
tection, but was otherwise one of the
staunches; Democrats iu the United
States.
To be a power in the land, let right
and truth be on your side. The pyrotech?
nic display of btllliancy may dazzle the
world and cause people tD exclaim how
grand, how beautiful, but this does not
compare with the glorious sun of hon?
esty, integrity and right, which steadily
rises until it illumines all mankind and
causes them to bow in reverence and awe.

The proposition to uominate a Popu?
list for licutenaut governor does not
seem to he meeting with much favor
among tho Democrats. They seemjto im?
agine that they have tho power and med
not make any concessions to the People's
patty, but they will discover too late
what they ought to have done, and.learn
with regret of the 'mistake they_have
made in this matter.
The improvements now buing made on
Franklin road will be a great change for
the better when completed. The gutters
will be raised and the macadam repaired,
both of which will bo necessary and will
make a substantial improvement. The
board walks also should be touched up.as
the improvements needed there are very
necessary and might, prevent serious law
suits.
The nomination of Johu Russell
Young, of Pennsylvania, as librarian of
Congress"; is one that seems to give gen?
eral satisfaction. Mr. A. R. SpofTord.the
lato incumbent, will be his chief assist?
ant. Mr. SpofTord, nccording to develop?
ments of the office, was a 'splendid libra?
rian, but a very poor financier and the
change promises to bo a fine arrangement
all around
The report that General Weyler is to be
recalled from Cuba and General Campos
reinstated hardly deserves to bo credited.
General Cnmpos made very poor progress
toward reducing the Insurgent army
to subjection while he was in command
on the Island, and his reinstatement
would no doubt bo received with delight
by the rebels.
Pat Foy's ornamental work on the
courthouse green is a very creditable
affair, both to him and the city. It
looks as well as Mr. Smith's decorations
at the Pouce de Leon Hotel, and all will
show up well for the "city in August. It
is hoped other citizens and other hotels
will profit by their example.
With the passing of William P. Hoey,
known throughout the Union as "Old
IIoss'" Hoey, the theatrical profession
loses one of its most*valued members and
the public loses one of its greatest enter?
tainers. As "Old IIoss" tho tramp, in
"A Parlor Match," Hoey has given to
the world a new conccptlcn of the tramp
and has shown that peculiar specimen of
the genus homo toji more ridiculous aud
atnu.v.r.g ndvnutage than any other man
on the stage.
The Democratic State convention in
Ohio was the largest and'most enthusi?
astic gathering of that political organiza?
tion since the close of the Mate civil war.
They were strong in their advocacy of
silver, and Cleveland and Hrlce were not
in it. "Sic transit gloria mundi," so
far as the old mugwump leaders of Dem?
ocracy are concerned.
Senator.Turpie, of.fndiana, insists on a
tax on inheritances of 2 per cent, for all
legacies over $5,(10(1. He said there were
two way of meeting a deficiency in the
taxes, one by decreasing expenses, the
other by Increasing taxes,anil he declared
his belief that the pending tnrifEJdll
\vould not bring the requisite revenne of
$450,000,000. The Senator knows what,
he is talking about and bis doctrines in?
dicate that Uncle Sam must stir his
stumps or get left In his efforts to hold up
I the Treasury surp'us.
Poor Greece has been nearly blotted out
from the pages ol nations. She declared
war against the Turk's and would have
done great things if her soldiers had
been as brave in front of the enemy as
they were a long distance, off. Hut for
the intervention of the powers, the Turks,
would easily have capturedj Athens.
They proved t:> the world that as soldiers
they were far superior in discipline and
courigeto the Greeks, and that, but for
the international policy of the great
powers, they would have walked over the
I Grecian nrchtpelago without kt or hin
j drance. Before they begin another war
the Creeks had better count the cost.
ELOQUENT LANGUAGE.
When it comes to saying exactly what
he means ami in language such as none
but he can command. Senator John W.
Daniel, Virginia's pride, cannot be ex?
celled. In n recent speech on the Cuban
quest Ion, he roundly scored the Republl
can party for its inactivity as follows:
"What has become of that resolution:
"It has gone to the tomb of the Capitol,
to the great political morgue on Capitol
hill, where silent spectres Hit around the
ball once occupied by representatives.
But, perhaps, I am treading on delicate
ground. I can only regret the degenera?
tion: and of the dead let me speak no 111.
Vet I can only think of the whilom bouse
of representatives as the poet laureate of
England thought of the body of the
dead?as 'the dark, deserted ".house where
life and thought no longer dwell.' "

A NEW MAN NAMED.
To the Editor of Tho Times: IQ casting
around for n scund, practical roan suita?
ble to represent this district In the legis?
lature, n man whose record as a Demo?
crat Is unsullied; one who has the confi?
dence of the masses; a practical business
man; one with a clean moral character,
who will draw to us the farming inter?
ests; 1 find such a man in \V. G. Woods,
I of Bonsucks, HoanoKe county. Garrison
I Woods is a man of sound practical judg?
ment, quick to grasp a question, enter?
taining, clear and pungent in.debute, a
farmer who tills Iiis soil, harvests his
crops, working side oy side with his em?
ployes. Thus be knows ihe needs of the
farming and laboring classes. Mr. Woods
is a popular man with tho masses, rich
or poor, white or black; a friend to the
needy, a courteous Christian gentleman;
one who would faithfully perform any
duty imposed upon him; a man of strict
integrity, outspoken in ids convictions; a
man who would never "bend the supple
hinges of the knee that thrift may come
of fawning."
Democrats should look well about them
this time aud select meu who can win.
Nominating is not electing, as we Demo?
crats fouud out to our sorrow two years
ago. Place before us good clean, sober,
conscientious, fearless men,men in whom
all classes can take an interest. I be?
lieve we hava such a mau in Garrison
Woods. He is popular with Republicans
as well as Democi ats.^und recognizing
the fact that a straight Republican ticket
cannot succeed iu this district, Mr.
Woods will have the support of a goodly
number of Republicans.
The'man whom the citizens of Roanoke
city may select could not have a stronger
man on the ticket with him. As a can?
vasser be is the peer of any man. He is
a bard worker and a man loved and re?
spected by all who know him and his
cauvn.ss will be a thorough, close nnd
telling one. Democrats of Roanoke
should see that both candidates on the
ticket are strong men and in November
we will win. Let one of the candidates
be'Garrison Wcods, of Honsacks.
Sir. Woods stands squarely on the Chi?
cago platform and is a staunch friend of
Maj. .lohn W. Daniel, and wo can safely
say that no man that isu"-t 'need offer for
the Democratic nomination from Roi
noke county. HAYSEED.

basis upon which these scholarships are
given is as follows: The young ladyluiust
be a Christian of "good standing "in her
church, of fair abilities, and depending;
upon herself for her support in the
future. Preference will be given where
one is au orphan, but if parents"are liv?
ing there will be uo objection, provided
they are absolutely unable to give their
daughter the education that she re?
quires. A letter addressed to the presi?
dent will bring the desired information
in detail. The further announcement I?
made that the daughters of ministers will
be taken free of charge. Luray College

THE TRAMP.
From the Boston Adverliser: One rea?
son why tue American army of tramps is
so large is thai, the American communi?
ties th tin selves have made it so ^casy for
tramps to live in idleness. In 'almost
every section of the country, except a few
parts of the West and the South, the
average tramp has IlttleTdilTlculty iu se?
curing enough to eat. Not until Ameri?
can communities generally treat 'ramps
as the criminals they are, and make the
punishment for vagrancy imprisonment
at hard labor, will theie [be much likeli?
hood that the American army ol tramps
will grow any smaller than it now is.
