SORROWFUL SOLILOOUY

/ am dreaming, sadly dreaming,
OF the road up Punchbowl slope.
And only fondly hope
That this everlasting winding
OF the highway up the pitch
May some morning not be finding
Sweet rcpOsc in Punchbowl Ditch.
| am musing, sadly mus;ng.
On the Councils ut the Hall:
On the wisdom of cXcusinG
Visitors both one and all;
Whether others are essential
From point of etiquette.
Or because some plans potential
Agitatc the Cabinet,
And wonder if election
Purity is square and straight.
Or if only some selection
OF rival candidate,
Who has 'lectiOncercd unduly
'Gainst the Government bchCs,,
ike unfortunate Paikuli,
VIII be taken for Il test.
And I'm puzzled why the Colonel
Was removed from his command:
And wonder what internal
Scheme the Cabinet has on hand.
l. the Colonel too defiant
That their wrath they wish tn show,
l. he really less COMPLIANT
Than he was two years ago?
And ponder, sadly ponder,
ON the dcsolate highways.
Aud wonder, sadly wonder,
If the people think it pays
TO retain as Superintendent
OF the general Public Works
Oac so very independent,
That he every duty shirks.
And I'm thinking gently thinking,
That II change is for the best;
That the country won't be sinking
If the Cabinet takes rest:
That their places, on rcSignng,
viii be filled by others, then,
More unsellish, less designing
Than this shady lot of men.

Keep Your Doors Locked.

A resident of West Campbell street,
whose business kept him down town till
u late hour, was surprised on going
home this morning about o'clock to
see colored man go out the rear door
OF his next-door neighbours house, and
on inquiry into the cause of the negro's
presence could elicit no answer. He
afterwards ascertained that two suits of
clothing had been stolen from young
man boarding there, and that entrance
to the building had been effected
through a rear window in the basement,
1t is very advisable for housebolders to
keep their doors locked.

of the business heart of the city is a

Things are at very loose ends in Roa

body will be open to criticism before

WASHINGTON, Oct. Especial I'm
the ten months of the session that closed
yesterday, President Harrison sent to
the Senate 1887 nominations, of which
all but twelve were confirmed. AS many
of these nominations contained the name
of more than one person, they represent
cd probably $500 appointments, several
hundred of these were postmasters at
Offices which have become presidential
through the growth of business. They
also include appointments in connection
with the census, nearly all which are
temporary in their nature.
In the first session of the Forty-ninth
Congress-, which lasted eight months,
President Cleveland sent to the Senate
2,606 nominations.

OVER THE MOORMah ROAD. 1
PROSPECTIVE Litigation Between
MIR. Fishburne and the City.

The Norman road matter promises to
furnish no small amount OF work for the
courts. The road was opened in 1883. in
obedience to an order of the Roanoke
County Court For number of wears
prio, to this the Fishburne Bros. had
kept the way open from their factory to
Center street The way was also open
to Trout's gate, just beyond the fac tory
In obedience to the order, the road was
opened from Trout's gate to the Lynch
burg and Salem turnpike, at the north
east corner of Capt. B. Ii. Moormans
property. Since that time the road has
been constantly open to the public the
part from the gate to Center street,
which the Fishburne Bros. claim as
their private property, being used as an
extension until Fishburne Bros put a
fence across it at Center street about six
weeks ago. The city has made repairs
on the road at different times, and claims
it as public highway on the authority
of the original order for the road.
Fishburnc Bros. claim that the order
did not include their property between
Trout's gate and Center street.
The city ordinances provide that the
Council may keep open and improve as
public highway any road, street or
alley that has been used as such for five
years. In consideration of this fact and
the original order for the road. the
Council. at the called meeting Tuesday
night, instructed the city engineer to
open the road. Just as City Engineer
Dunlap was leaving his Office Wednes-
day morning to carry out the instruc-
tions, an injunction issued by the lust
ings Court was served. enjoining him
from opening the road
Mr.. L. I. Fishburn says that the
property is valuable to the firm. as the
intention was to erect an extension on
the two lots spoiled by the road. He
said to TINES reporter: 81 have al
ready donated to the city Roanoke and
High streets through six acres of land
each and had intended to donate the
land for the extension of Center street
by the ice factories. | have given the
city my share"
The survey of the road will he made
by the city engineer according to the
notes of the county survey, who made
the original survey. as soon as the
weather is sufficiently clear.
City Engineer Dunlap says that it is
probable that encroachments will be
found at different points along the line.
and that possibly houses will be found
in the road

THE MAJORITY COMING SOUTH.

The pleasing assurance is given that
large majority of the visiting members of
the Iron and Steel Institute will visit
: the South. Mr.. Carnegie is authority
for the statement that at least three
fourths of them will turn in this dircc
tion when the party divides at Chicago.
We, of the South, will be glad to sec
them. This section will need no vain
glorious putting, no misrepresentation,
no concealments, no cvasions. 1t can
stand on its merits. Undoubtedly the
favorable opinion OF the visitors, as OK
on tho current of British investments
already tending stronglyin this section.
When they return home and report
that they have visited section, hun
dreds of miles in length, where coking
coal, iron, limestone and manganese are
close together in inexhaustiblc quanti-
ties and of excellent qualities, where
they have seen pig iron manufactured
at q cost ranging from 50 to S13 ton,
leaving margin of from 80 per cent. to
60 per cent. profits, why capital can not
do otherwise than flow in. Money hates
an idle opportunity as much as nature
