Text Of the H,erarchy's Manifesto.


by Anglo-American cable 20 tho Disoaic0l
DUBLIv. December 3-The manifesto
issued by the Catholic hierarchy declares
that their judgment is not given on
political grounds, brt solely on the reve-
lations of the Divorce Court, after which
they are unable to regard Parnel IN
any other light than convicted OF one
of the eravest offences known to re-
licion and society, which ia aggravated
in his case by almost every circumstance
possible to give ii scandal and proml'
nence in guilt and shame. "Surely,
Catholic ireland" the manifesto con-
tinues, $50 eminently conspicuous for
the virtue and purity CT Its social lie,
will not accept as leader man wholly
unworthy of confidence. Further, we
cannot avoid the conviction that
continuance of Parnells leadership
will disorganize and range in hostile
camps those hitherto united with the
forces of our country. Confronted with
the prospect of a continuance so dlsas-
trous we see nothing but inevitable de-
feat at the general election, and as re-
suit home rule indefinitely postponed,
coercion perpetuated, the hands of the
eyictor strengthened, and the eyictees
without shadow Of hope Of being rem
stated"

THE ALLIANCES SWEEP.

The returns from the Georgia cleo
tion are well III and they arc of the
most surprising character. The Al
lance has not only elected all tho State
officers, but has elected three fourths of
the members of the legislature Gov
ernor Gordon's chances for Il scat in the
United States Senate are very thin. In
fact ne seems to have no chance at all.
What the nature of this new organiza-
ton is, or is to be, can only be discov-
cred by it's actions in power. But no
party was evor more clearly wiped out
of existence than the old time Democ-
racy Of Georgia. If The same fate is to
follow the party in the Carolinas and in
scattering districts of kentucky, Ten
nessee and other Democratic states fur
Their South and West, it's strength in the
next Congress is extremely problcmatic.
There may however be some consola-
tion in the knowledge that the Rcpub-
licans of the Dakotas. Nebraska Iowa,
Minnesota, Kansas and Wisconsin, are
in another boat which is being rocked
by the same alliance whale

KINDLY COMMENTS.

From the Baltimore Manufacturers Record.
A gratifying sign Of Roanoke's me-
tropolitan growth is found in its re-
markable journalistic advancement.
All the daily papers of that flourishing
city arc making improvements, and all
of them reflect the prosperity and spirit
of the city.
The Roanoke Times, in its enlarged
and improved form, is a morning paper
worthy of the center and capital of
Southwest Virginia development. The
men who arc at the head of this fine
morning newspaper are Herbert j.
Browne and C. II. Grandy, editor and
business manager, respectively. Mr..
Browne is native of New Hamshire,
and received his education both at col
lege and at the printers case, and was
for seven years connected with tho
Washington Post. Mr.. Grandy, who
also came from the Washington Post to
the Times, is North Carolinian, with
considerable experience as newspaper
man in the East and South. The Times
is Independent in politics, and outside
of its general news service will devote
itself especially to the industrial deyel-
lopment of Southwest Virginia. With a
thorough appreciation of the possibili-
ties OF its field and with the corporation
of an enterprising and powerful COM
gmunity, the Times has gained at a
bound leading position in daily jour
nalism.

THE HOSPITAL VS.. THE MONUMENT.

dent kimbnll from an Unjust Attack.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES In
the Evening World of yesterday cor
respondent, signing himself Sd" in
making comment upon President Kim
balls proposed gift to Roanoke in tho
form of tower. to be erected in Wood
land Park, places himself on record as a
man of strictly one idea. ID" would not
consent that public library cdifice
should be built, for the same reason that
he inveighs against this educational
tower, intended, not to commemorate the
dead past" as Roanoke has no dead
past in the usual acccptation OF this
term.
President Kimball's idea is to cmpha-
size the fact that Roanoke is not quito
ten years old, and to keep alive the same
spirit thatanimatcS so vigorous Il young
ster, by tabulating upon an enduring
shaft the fact of Roanolle's wonderful
history-alsO reserving space for an
announcement ten years hence. thus in

forts in the next decade in order to
demonstrate to the world that we are IA

Nothing is further from my thoughts
than any intention of arraying myself
against the hospital fund. for. indeed, l
am one of its staunchest advocates. and
l would also remind 3D. that the Nor
folk and Western railroad, of which Mr.
Kimball is president has already
donated $1,000 toward this most laudablc
and merciful enterprise (the hospitaD;

posToFrIcE FACTS AND FIGURES.

THE TINES presents this morning some
further interesting figures concerning
the growth of the postal business of
Roanoke. The receipts for tho quarter
ending September 80 were SS,300.0l: for
the quarter ending June 80. $7,765. for
the March quarter, $6,3l3.22, and for
the quarter ending December 81, 1889,
$5,219O1.
The respective increases for The four
quarters are, emitting cents, Sl,094,
$2.548 and S3,OSl.
The percentages of increase reckoned,
as before, on the basis of the month
ending December 81, 1889, arc approx
matcly 90 per cent. for the March quar-
ter, ~ per cent. for the June quarter
and IS per cent. for the quarter just
ended.
The coming quarter will, beyond
question, show an increase of business
of not less than 20 per cent. over the
Same quarter last year.
These figures are commended to the
authorities at Washington as loud call
for increased mail facilities and an ade-
quato clerical force in the Roanoke Post
Office. The present staff is already over
worked beyond the bounds of reason
We respectfully recommend an immedi-
ate relief.

Party Chairmen Unite in West Virginia t o

WHEELING, w. Va, Oct 3.-[Spe-
cial]-Chairman Meighen, of the Re
publican State executive committee,
and Chairman Riley, of the Democratic
committee, have jointly issued an adj
dress to the voters of all parties in West
Virginia, warning them to strictly OBJ
servo the new State election law, which
forbids the use of money, and pledging
themselves to jointly prosecute all viola
tons OF the law.
The law is an iron-clad one, and for
bids, under scvcrcst penalties, any can
didate from hiring men to work at the
polls, from paying the expenses of dele
gates to conventions, from hiring any
one to solicit votes, and in short from
using money in any way except to pay

THE Worlds Fair Executive Board
has been organized at last by the selec.
ton of Col. George r. Davis, treasurer
of Cook county, as director general. He
is recognized on all sides as one of the
best organizers in the West, and the
salary of $4,000 attached to the posi-
tion is modest to his merits. Col. John
Il. Dickinson, of Texas, is made secre-
tary at salary of $4,000, lie is the
kcencst young man in Texas and poss-
csscs rare executive ability. He was
secretary of the State capitol board and
has been prominent in organizing and

R. G. DUN'S WEEKLY REPORT.

New York, Oct. Especial The
weekly review of trade of Il. G. Dun Il

in any month so great an increase in

public debt. The aggregate circulation

$62, O09,767 in September. The money
markets i'll all parts of the country have

trade is improving in all directions, and
at least for the time there is also an
improvement in exports. The earnings
OF railroads show gain over last year
Of ~ per cent. The sales of iron ore
at Cleveland thus far this year are
S,500,0 900 tons, exceeding last years to
date by one-third.
Accounts from nearly all cities con-
tinuc highly favorable. Pittsburg re-
ports large trades in volumes, and strong
in tone, for finished iron and glass, but
less strong for pig iron and rails. and
here are hurrying prepare lions to turn
out tin plates. The iron market is sin
gularly sustained, in spite of unpre-
cedcnted production, by an unprc-

Details given show, in all parts of the
country and in all important branches
of business phenomenal activity, and.
nevertheless. there is comparative free
dom from speculative excitement or dis
turbances. In the stock market there
is Il general liquidation with lower
prices, but at no time any sign of that
feverish excitement which threatens
panic, and there is prevailing feeling
that more buying of securities will APP
pear. Failures for the third quarter of
1890 arc smaller in number and amount
of liabilities than for the same quarter
of 1889. Business failures of the week
number l66. as compared with IT, for
the corresponding week last year.

Ho,- Bonde
Debt,

The bonded debt natures as follows: In 1893
600: 1897 $40 900; 1885, 81 1872 0O0 1908, s2l0 O0O:
1905 SSOOO0O; 1919. $500 900; 1910 $685. 900; 1912
sl9S.O0O 1913 s35S2, ,2U1; 1915. s., 7S4 700. This
debt has been slowly but steadily decreased
and the sinking fund increased since 1880. The
year 1885 shows an increase of debt. but this
was only an apparent increase. A large amount
of the old debt was refunded that year, just at
the close of the fiscal year, and when the re-
port was made up, the new bonds, at a lower
rate of interest, had been issued, and the old
bonds had not been called in, so on the books
the city was charged with both.
Another point in the city's favor is in the in
terest account. This has been decreased each
year, and. as it now stands, the city holds her
bonds in the sinking fund to an amount that
brings $780, 900 of the interest back into the city
Golfers.
