A VISITORS CRITICISM.
Roanoke Needs Better Lighting
and a Larger Police Force.

''Scc here said u well-knOwn visitor
from the North to a reporter for the
TINES last night are you aware that
Roanoke is sadly deficient in tho matter
of street lights p
Tho reporter mcekly asscnted to the
general proposition. but waited until
the iratc gentleman saw tit to further
proceed
Il started up the street while ago
in search of a certain place of business,
but had To return because it was dam
gcrous to proceed in the dim light ford
ed by the ncighboring windows. If
your city should be SO unfortunate as
to have suit for injuries sustained on
tered against it, and should be mulctcd
i'll heavy damages, the money cost on Id
be trivial compared to tho injury sus-
tanned by the city's rcputat ion as a 20
ahead, modern city.
1--WE visitors land We come here prin-
cipally to invest money!, desire to see
somo disposition to modcrnize your
beautiful and growing city. and hesitate
TO find fault where so much energy is dis
played, but tho smaller things do much
to attract investors. More should be
expended in lighting the streets, and
lighting of store window, or the unccr-
tain flood from over the transom of some
private door.
Stir up your Council; demand more
light, and it will be cheaper in the end:
first. by averting possible damage suits.
and second, by making those from the
larger cities feel safer in their invest
ments.
Another thing should be romcm-
bered, and that is. your police force is
too small for the growing city. There
are now eleven regular men and i've or
six extras, am informed. and chief.
This force should be nearly, If not
quite, doubled. An ounce of proven
ton is worth many pounds of cure 1t
should be reflected upon that the popu-
lation of Roanoke is daily receiving ac-
'cessions that are tho reverse of bono
Eeneous. and serious trouble is easily
averted by a show of force.
mo, am not in a scolding mood, y
returned the gentleman in reply to Il
protestatiOn of the reporter, but view
The matter from a business standpo
and my remarks should be taken in the
way they are inttnded-as Il hint for
the future. Much has been accom-.
pllshed in the past twelve months. but il
must be remembered that tireless en-.
crgy and ceaseless en- terprise are poten,
factors In the makeup of Il thriving
city. The marvellous growth-hcalthS
and gratifying-of Roanoke is no excuse

EXPIRES. CLEVELAND DELIGHTED
Corruption is Powerless Against
the Will of the People.
fhc Victory, lilo Thinks, liz for Tnrin Re-
form--The Democratic Party, He Saws.
Has pi..nted Itself Upon Disinter-
ested Devotion to tho People, and
Must Continue Its Fight.

New YORK, Nov. 5.-[Spcciall To an
Associated Press reporter who asked for
an expression of his opinions on tho re-
suits of yesterdays elections, ex-Presi-
dent Cleveland to-day said:
II am delighted. l challenge the
right of any man in the country to re-
ioice more heartily than | over the re-
suits of yesterday.
"My Qualifications that of an Ameri-
can, proud of his follow oountrymen,
who, though led away for tmo by
party proiudices and by blind confidence
in cunning and selfish leaders, could
not DO deluded to their ruin.
They have demonstrated that in
dealing with them, it is not safe to cal
culatc that they are stupid or needless
of the welfare OF their countrymen.
'Thc necessity of tariff reform, with
its consequent reduction in tho cost OF
living, and the duty of tho Democratic
party to advocate it, has been fully
demonstrated by the action of the
people yesterday. Their decision has
been deliberately made, and it is all the
more significant because they voted
upon their reason and Judgment, and be-
cause they have proved that corruption
is poworlosS as against thoir conyic-
tions.
"Of course there is nothing for the
Democratic party to do but to push on
the battle at all times, and in all places,
ON tho lines which they have laid down,
that is to insist upon wise adjustment
OF tarllf taxation to- the reasonable
needs OF the Government rs opposed to
the plan which cnrichrs the favored
class ut the expense Of the masses Of the
people.
Until victory is won, tho question of
tariff reform will not DO settled, nor tho
pledges and professions of the Demo-
cratic party to the people be redeemed
''Our party has made an honest and
earnest fight.
ut has planted itself upon a disintcr-
csted and unseiiisi, devotion to tho in
forests OF tho people.
Its absolute unity and harmony
upon the question of tariff reform shows
its quick recognition OF the true Demo
cratic principles, and its enthusiasm in
the cause which involves the popular
welfare. Everywhere our people have
done magnificently, and the harvest
they nave gathered has been nobly
earned
IN answer to an inquiry as to his view
on tho operation of tho ballot reform
law, Mr.. Cleveland said:
Il think there should DO no more op-
position to the principle OF ballot re-
form. Evidence of its usefulness and
benefit to tho people ! regard conclu-
sive. In some matters of detail the law
in our State might, perhaps, be i'm
proved. 1t seems to me it would be
well to obviate the necessity for So
many separate ballots. But after all,
even this or other similar objections are
not vitality important.
1.-The thing upon which every hon
est man should congratulate himself is
that we have law which protects our
voters from corruption and intimidat ton,
and it is one Of those measures of rc-
lief, which once adopted will not bc
surrendered"
