Mr.. REEDS new rules seem TO
work well for the majority. In
the next Congress, and with
SialwaTt like Judge Crisp
or Mr.. Springer in the Speakers chair,
we shall see how they work
for the country. No satisfactory
verdict can be passed until the new
rules have been operated for awhile by
the Democratic party.

Professor GOODWIN SMITH says
that when people are as industrious,
frugal and temperate as the Canadians
are and have n country as full of natural
resources as they have, no fiscal policy
can prevent them from doing well. But
he adds that the fruits of the protection
list policy in Canada afford no ground
for the belief that communities can be
made rich by taxation.

THE RACES.
The Omnibus Stakes Captured by
Senator Hearst's Tournament.
Special to THE TINES.

Special to THE TINES.
MONMOUTH, Aug. 1S. = The long
looked for Omnibus stake race has
been run, and Tournament is the
winner.
Five horses faced the starters, and
there was probably never hotter
contest on the American turf than
was this race between Chaos and
Tournament. In the betting Tourna-
ment was favorite, while Chaos had
second call. Fan Fan colt and Torso
were next in favor with the public,
and Folsom the rank outsider.
The start was good, with Fan Fan
and Chaos in the lead, Torso third
and Tournament fourth. Fan Fan
colt held the lead until the mile was
reached, where Torso showed in the
lead by head, Chaos second. In
the stretch Tournament, who had
come very fast, was leading by a half
length, Chaos second, Torso third.
The ride down the stretch was fight
between giants, Haywood on Tourna-
ment and Hamilton on Chaos, both
urging their horses to the utmost.
For time it looked as though Tour
nanent would win, but Chaos gradu-
ally gained on him and then finished
head and head, there being no differ
ence between them as they passed
under the wire.
The race being dead heat, it was
decided by the owners to run it off,
as the stake was worth $1,000 and
looked too tempting to each to divide
wiie leach was confident that he had
the better horse. III the run off Tour
nament took the lead and led to
the hall, where Chaos joined him, and
at the three. quarters was leading by
three lengths.
But Tournament came with such
speed that he passed him, and won
easily by ten lenghths, landing the
stake to his owner, Senator Hearst.
Below will be found the results OF
each race:
First Race, three-fourths mile
Lady Reel, first; Tipstaff, second;
bellwood, third. Time, 1133.
Second race, Criterion stakes, three
fourths mile.-Reckon, first; st
Charles, second; Westchester, third.
Time, 1.12i.
Third race, Omnibus stakes, one
mile and half.-Tournament and
Chaos, dead heat; Torso, third. Time,
1881. In the run off Tournament
won.
Fourth race, one mile and one
esghth.-My Fellow, first; Grimaldi,
second; Tulla Blackburne, third.

Minnie Smith, a pretty and intelli-
gent looking young girl, apparently
about is or 20, was arraigned before
Judge Williams yesterday afternoon,
charged with stealing $50 worth OF
valuables from Mrs. Garland Morris,
of this city.
Miss Minnie is from Botetourt
county, but was recently engaged as a
housemaid by Mrs. Morris. After
staying with her employer q while
she returned to her home. Mrs. Morris
missed her valuables after Minnie
was gone and the girl was suspected
of having taken them with her. A
warrant was issued for her arrest, and
Monday evening Deputy Sheriff Heck,
of Botetourt, arrived in the city with
the girl a prisoner.
On account of the absence of some
witnesses for the defense the case was
postponed till Saturday morning at
il o'clock. The young girl was adj
mitted to bail in the sum of 500, with
s. FL. Gish, of this city, and j. Smith,
her father as sureties. P. Lockett
appeared for the commonwealth, and
Colonel G. w. Hansbrough and L. M.

An Estimate Based on Comparison OF
Assessments With Selling Values.
Since the people OF Roanoke re-.
eeived their first knowledge of the
realty assessment for 1890, through
the columns Of The TIMES Of July 8,
this paper has never failed to call to
their attention everything of i'm
portance in connection with property
valuations. This morning figures are
submitted which scarcely need ex-
PLANTATION. Twenty-one lots, princi.
pally corners, were taken at random
from the assessors books with the
assessments on the ground alone.
These lots were then submitted to
several of the leading real estate men
of Roanoke for estimates es to the
actual selling value Of the bare
ground. The lowest valuation given
was taken in each case. The lots are
described sufficiently to enable any
one to examine for himself the avcu-
racy of The TINES figures. The first
column gives the assessed value OF
each lot, the second gives the real
value as determined by experts. They
are as follows:

obtain some statistics showing the
building progress. Engineer Dunlap
said that the record he had would do
injustice to the growth of the city,
several new buildings being pointed
out, for which no permits have been
issued, notwithstanding there is a
city ordinance requiring everyone
who builds within the fire limits to
secure a permit from the city en-
gineer.
The reporter inquired after the
work of improving the streets and
learned that about thirty hands, in
Guiding the chain gang. are at work
grading, one force on Commonwealth
avenue, another on Commerce street,
beyond Spruce, the work here being
nearly completed, and third on Elm
street, on Terry's Hill.
Engineer Dunlap said that there is

done as he wants to see His plan il
for the City Council to have tie
streets that need improvement graded
and put in good order on condition
that the property owners have the
sidewalks nicely paved.

The meeting last evening at Beth

a second Presbyterian Church, was
not largely attended. Rev. DIR. Camp

referred to the great influences for
good that had gone out from the Sab

the growth of the congregation made
it necessary to erect church in that
part of the city.
After some discussion it was decided
to take steps at once toward the cree

$4,000. A paper was passed around
and subscriptions to the amount OF

There is rumor, however, that Mr..

an unexpected snag. Quay will prob

that will be agreed to in reference

battle will begin.
There are between twenty and !
thirty Republicans in the House who
have already agreed among them
selves that they will vote with the
Democrats against the adoption of
the conference report on the tariff
bill unless the Republican Senators
agree to pass federal election bill at
this session. These members will have
the quiet and perhaps open support
of Speaker Reed and Representative
