WHAT rs our popuuLTIoN !.
Deductions OF Correspondent From
the School Census.

the Scho0I Census.
To the Editor of The TIMES
Does it not appear that there is some
mistake when the superintendent OF
schools reports that more than 1000
children now on the rolls in Roanoke,
a gain of rs per cent. over last year,
and the census takers report q little
over16, 900 inhabitants for the city,
We can hardly suppose there has
been any mistake made i'll taking the
school population. If not, the whole
population should increase in about
the same ratio. Twelve months ago
we. numbered not less than 12,000.
Therefore we ought TO have 10000 at
least.
1t would be q pity il any of the pub
lie schools would have to say to any
child 1--WE can't take you; we have nc
room for any more, when each one
has an equal right to enter public
school; but we are glad to see that an
effort is being made to let every child
of proper age enter public school.
If the accommodations are not as
good as desired, we believe all will en-
dure, when we know that those in au-
thority have done the best they could.
Can't there be some means devised
by which to number the increase OF
population every six months? Once in
twelve months is not often enough for
growing city like Roanoke. 1t would
be pleasure, as we'll as an actual adj
vantage, to know the number of per-
sons added every six months. Then
arrangements could be made to ac-
commodate the school population.
These are suggestions in behalf of
the live and growing city of Roanoke.

NOT 4 SosE roE NEWS.

We have in hand that admirable
compendium of our esteemed Repabli-
ssn contemporary, the Congressional
Record-its Index from August 10 to
August 80, 1890.
We refer to the Record as Rapub-
lican contemporary, not from any par
ticular bias observable in the place
where its editorial columns ought TO be,
but because the management is con-
spicuously Republican aud because
there is vast.preponderance ofRepub-
lican jaw within its pages. If the
Record will enter denial Of
our arrangement, or its editor
will intimate in the usual form
that he has been ma}igned and would
like satisfaction, we will offer him
any shape of that article that is Gus
tomary between gentlemen.
If there is any test of editorial ca
pacity it lies in having nose fornews.
Itsdisplays itself in an aptitude ierhead
writing, for selecting salient points TO
catch the readers eye. Therefore we
come again to the attack. The distin-
guislfed editor of our Republican con-
temporary, The Congressional Record,
has no nose for news. Not only does
he fail TO take Associated Press dis
patches and a proper amount of cable
matter, but his journal fails to devote
space to local events Of eminent inter
est, and when he does by accident al
low good news article of a sensational
character to get into print, he proceeds
10 hide it from the knowledge of his
readers by an obscure reference in the
: Index.
We never make a charge which We
are not prepared to prove. The House
session of Wednesday, August p, was
enlivened with a remarkable speech
delivered by Representative Cannon of
Illinois, followed by an excited contro
yersy on the part of several dishn-
guished Republican representatives,
and ar impromptu smuggling match be-
tween Representative Wilson, of Wash
ineton, and Beckwith, Of New Jersey.
The speech appears on page 997S
of the Record, but the smuggling match
is entirely omitted from the record of
proceedings. We have examined the
Iadex to see how the matter is treated.
IJuderthe heading Cannon, Joseph S.,
Ia Representative from illinois," is
found: s.Remarks by,op compound lard,
997S, 9979.. Personal explanation, 9979,
o9s2.. But ii doesn't explain, and it
contains no reference to the most i'm
portant part of his speech. Nsitber
under the heads of Beckwith or Wilson
can the needed references be found,
nor is there special heading ''Pugilis-
Tics to be found.
We think we have made plain case
against our esteemed Republican con-
temporary, the Record. Its editor has
no nose Tor news.

MIA Farmer Taken Back to
Texas for Trial.

For seventeen years Nathan Willett
has titled his farm three miles south of
Norwalk. He has there fifty acres of
good land and comfortable home
shared by his wife and two children.
Yesterday morning Willett was plowing
in field. A wagon drove up, and
Sheriff Aguirre and his deputy, William
Hammel, jumped over the
fence and showed Mr. Willett a
paper. He hesitated moment. eyed
the two officers keenly and at last said,
"all right, I'll go,' and climbed into the
wagon, and the horses heads were turn
ed towards this city. His wife and his
children did not know he had gone to
town. Perhaps they do not yet know
where he is.
When he climbed into the wagon and
looked back on his broad acres and hap
py home, it may be that it was the last
time that his eyes would rest on that
picture, for he was arrested on a charge
of, on December 2, 1872, in Anderson
county, Texas, having in cold blood and
for pay, killed H. B. Woodward by
stealing behind him and firing bullet
into his head. His victim and he had
just previously drunk to each others
health.
This was nearly eighteen years ago,
but Sheriff Bixby of Lee county. Texas,
aided by Sheriff Aguirre, ran the man
down and last night he started back to
stand his trial.
The story told about Willett is that
years ago he killed man in western
Texas, and fled to Anderson county.
While there he became acquainted with
Woodward, and with another man who
loved the same woman that Woodward
loved and who was jealous of him. This
man it is said offered Willett
large sum lof money if,
in the language of Guiteau,
he would "remove" Woodward. Will
lett was out of friends, wanted to get
away, was fearful of being arrested for
the other murder, and accepted the
proposition and carried it out by getting
Woodward to drink with him and when
at disadvantage he shot him. He
ifornia and has lived here ever since.
member that the devil is really several
shades lighter in complexion than he is
usually depicted.
w Hclo puoiiH DlAUy Sot ulS ClcW, HO
one knows, but there are rumors that
brother-in-law of Willett's betrayed him
to the officer.
A HERALD reporter tried to talk with
Mr.. Willet last evening, but he declin-
ed to say anything about the matter;
while showing no external sign of emo
tion he was evidently stoically bearing
up under what to most men would be
an overwhelming situation.
Sheriff Bixby says that there are
eight witnesses to the murder of Wood
ward still living, and that the man
whose money tempted WAlett to do
the deed is also alive. This sheriff from.
Lee county is Texan of the brave,
open hearted, keen, unrelenting type,
with the manners OF an old school gen
tleman, and the courage of veteran.

THE PLATFORM.

The platform adopted by the county
convention, which appears in the report
of the proceedings Of that body in the
HERALD this morning, will well repay
perusal. 1t is not by any means the
perfunctory matter platforms usu-
ally are, but is an earnest
appeal to the people in their own
behalf. Passing over the references in
these resolutions to national politics,
important though these are, it is the
paragraphs bearing upon local govern
ment that will attract most attention.
Here is the true essence of all politics,
and more particularly of local matters.
What the people are most interested in, is
the honest and economical administra-
tion of their officers The arraignment
made in this platform of the local malad-
ministration of the past four years is some
thing that will catch votes, albeit there
is little of the quality of molasses in the
resolutions. They are caustic to de-
gree, but their burning power is because
of their truth.
Los Angeles herald., 1890-10-08

Our "pumpkin-rollers" who haNe come
in from the country to aid their friends
in thacity in their selection of county
ticket find very different state Of al
fairs confronting them from that which
their Republican neighbors discovered
when they came in week ago. Our
people found it all straight sailing, and
held a caucus on Monday night in
which only country members took
part, to make slate of their
own. When they came into the
convention yesterday they found
the city delegates disposed to give them
the most kindly consideration and the
fullest recognition. There was no ring,
with fences q mile high and close as a
wall, to keep the people from the rural
deestricts'' out of the deliberations Of
the meeting, SO far as practical results go.
In fact the couHtry delegates are practi-
eally running the cYnvention. The ut
most harmony prevails among the mem
ban from all sections of the city and
county.
