A Rock Island Project.

Surveyors who are now engaged in
running line'' from Chicago to Mil
waukee are said to be working under
the direction of the Chicago, Rock

point near Racine. and the line they are
mapping out follows the lake shore
closely. The Rock Island reaches the
principal gateways of traffic covered by

Uniform Pay for Switchmen.

A conference of the general managers
of the Western roads was held today
relative to the demands of their switch
men for uniform scale of wages.
Switchmen in the Chicago yards have
heretofore been paid by the hour, their
wages in a day aggregating from 80 to 30
per cent more than the day wages paid
in small cities and towns. The MANA
gers agreed upon a scale approximating
uniformity by which the wages of out
side switchmen will be within SIS
month of the Chicago sIitchmen's
wages.

THE GLADE ADDITION.

One OF the most valuable additions
that has been laid out to the city il
the Glade property
This is situated just east OF Glade
Greek and Immediately on the cum.
my line. The fact that it has this line
running through it makes it exceed
ipSly more valuable, as it brings it in
close proximity to the center o. the
city. The fare over the line is onl Z
five cents, and places it within the
reach of all who attend church, do
the marketing and everything of that
sort in this part of the city. BY hay
ing home in this addition q person
can enjoy all the pleasures OF a sub
urban residence and yet get the beL-
eiits of city conveniences.
The addition is being laid o. by
wide streets and avenues, and build-
ing sites are rapidly being sold. 1t 5

healthy.
A company has been organized ,

reservoir will probably be erected t
an early date. When this is dor e

clear fluid from the Smith sprin.
which is only a short distance away.
a system OF sewerage is to be inalgu-
rated and the sanitary condition i'm
proved, though this is hardly ncces-
sary, as sickness is almost unknown.
The view from the Glade Addition
is one of the finest tosbe obtained
anywhere ia this section. Tall noun-
tain peaks, the Roanoke river valley
and extensive forests are all il fu,l

beautiful.
One Of tie best things about th :
property is the easy terms on whlco
it can be purchased. Any one can

will almost be sufficient to cover it.

We especially commend to our people.
The city and the State should take
pride in contributing to its success.
The several national associations es-
tablished at Atlanta, Knoxville and
elsewhere in the South have done
and are doing q large business
throughout the country. and nowhere
have they a more liberal patronage
than here at Roanoke. Our people
are not slow to appreciate a good
thing when they see it. They have
ful!y appreciated the advantages of
the Building and Loan Association,
and abundantly contributed to the
stock OF the many associations of this
character that have their local
branches established here. Let US all
give aid to the public-spirited citi-
Gems who have organized this Il M
tional orgeizati,-' in our fair city, and
contribute to IL success We should
all tallea pride in it. BY subscrib-
ing to its stock, you will help build up
the city and your own fortune.
We see no reason why in il month
its entire authorized capital of $50
600 600 should be taken III the BOOM
ing Southwest.

of this association at Roanoke. Stock

THE FARMER SUFFERS.

1t is one of the stock assertions of Re
publican editors and campaign orators that
protective tariff furnishes the American
farmer better market for his products
than he would have under tariff for reve-
nue. only. The declaration is a fallacious
one, as has many times been demonstrated.
In his paper in the current number of the
Forum ex-Speaker CARLISLE makes the
matter so plain that we wonder that any
man can be found to again assert that
high tariff is anything else than the far
mer's enemy. Mr.. CARLISLE says:
The Importance of the protected manufactur-
ing and mechanical population as purchasers
and consumers of agricultural products has al
ways been greatly exaggerated by the inter
eSted parties who invented this device for catch
ing the farmer vote. 1t is entirely safe to saw
from calculations made on the basis of the last
census, that the farmers do not actually receive
more than SS0ceO,0O0 of the money spent by the
laborerS in protected industries annually for
domestic agricultural products This is only a
fraction of over 9 per cent. of the value of our
agricultural products on the farms in 1880, and
considerably less than 12 per cent of the value
such products exported and sold abroad during
that year.
1t is certain that a century of protection, in n
greater or less degree, to the owners of mines
and manufacturing establishments has not Sc
cureu nome market Tor the farmer, and the
question he has now to decide is whether he will
continue to tax himself for an indefinite period
in the future in order that the impossibility of
success may be thoroughly demonstrated
Finding himself at the end of one hundred wears
compelled TO export larger percentage of his
products than at the beginning, it woold seem
that no argument ought to be necessary to con-
vince him that he has been the voluntary vic
tim of policy which guarantees home market
and high prices for the producers of the articles
he has TO buy and leaves him to get such prices
as he can in the open markets of the world for
the articles he has to sell.

A PROPHETIC SPEECH.

"Let the carpet-bagger, expelled finally
from every state in the American union
with the brand of disgrace stamped upon
his brow, lift up his head once more and
turn his face toward the setting sun. Utah
beckons him to a new field of pillage and
fresh pastures Of pilfering. Let him pack
his grip-sack and start. The Mormons
have no friends and no one will come for
ward to defend or protect their rights. A
returning board, from whose decisions
there is no appeal, sent out from the Amer
can Congress baptized with the spirit of
persecution and intolerance, will enter
Utah to trample beneath their feet the
rights of the people of that far-off and ILL
fated land. Mr.. Speaker, would not place
dog under the dominion of set of carpet
baggers REINFORCED by a returning board,
unless meant to have him robbed of his
bone. A more grinding tyranny, more
absolute despotism was never established
over any people. "-Hon. John T. House, of
Tennessee, in the House of Representatives,

THE AFRICAN American league held a
mass meeting in the Second Methodist
Episcopal church, New York, one night
last week, when a negro named PRICE
WILLIAMS said: "When the colored man
learns the value of the torch; when he
learns to kill in cold blood; when he learns
to plunge knife into The heart of the white
man, then there will be no question of the
colored mans rights. With the torch, the
knife, the negroes Christianity and the
civilization Of the Italians and Indians, the
colored men would soon settle the race
question" When the negroes learn that
their very worst enemy is the man who in
culcates such ideas as the above, there
will be less of race question to settle; and
when the colored man has less to do with
the torch and knife he will be accorded bet
ter treatment. 1t is talk like that of VIII
LIAMs, quarter of century after the
emancipation OF the blacks, which inclines
one to believe with Senator MORGAN that.
''The return of the negro to Africa is the
only real and final solution of the great
question

THE PRIMARIES.

The Peoples party primaries for the
election of delegates to the municipal cen
ventlon on the 9th instant will be held
next Monday evening in the district school
houses OF the respective wards.
We regard the primaries as most. if not
the most, important of all the political con-
yentions. In them political action begins.
and 1t starts at the foundation-with the
people. In these meetings every member
OF the party may express himself and give
utterance to his opinions of men and meas
ures. Thereafter,Iuntil he reaches the polls.
the individual appears only through an
other; to another he must delegate his right
to talk in the party councils, to discuss can
didates, to make nominations, to formulate
platforms and so on. In the primary the
citizen looms to his full height, doing his
own talking, exercising his greatest influ-
ence, and having his own way if he can
bring the majority of his fellows to agree
with him.
1t is, therefore, highly important to the
citizen and the community that there be a
full attendance of the Peoples party men
at the primaries on Monday. At these
meetings the ticket to be voted for at the
coming election will not be made up, but
the men who will form the ticket will be
chosen. These should be selected with the
greatest care, with the view to their trust
worthiness, their representative character.
their ability and their faithfulness to the
best interests of their respective sections
in particular and of the municipality
at large. 1t is essential that the very
best men shall be nominated for the vari
ious offices to be filled. This is essential
from any point of view. The political par
ties are so equally divided as to numbers
that the success of the ticket will depend
upon the character of its personnel The
Liberals have Numbered. They have not
named their best men fer the offices. On
contrary, the most of their nominees are
not popular, and the ticket, as whole, is
weak. The People must not make the

A NEW SCHEME.

Peculiar men sometimes get access to
the editor al columns of great newspapers,
and by expressing their peculiar views
make the papers appear peculiarly ridicu-
lous and ignorant Here is the San Fran
cisco Examiner, one of the brightest and
best dailies in the country, with leading
editorial which will cause the journal to be
laughed at here where the facts are
known. The writer heads his article, "a
New Wedge in Utah." and refers to ''some
rather respondent opinions about the i'm
mediate future Of Liberalism in this terri
tory expressed by the governor a short
time ago. These opinions were as
to the ownership by the Mormons
of the arabic land and the water
which made the land available for
use, this circumstance being equivalent to
the ownership of Utah by the Saints. The
Examiner man has discovered that which
will cure the governor of his dependency,
in "a chance for the Gentiles to get a
foothold outside of the mines and towns"
Let the editor unfold his discovery in his
own way, and gentlemen will please keep
their faces straight while drinking in the
facts: 1.-The Great Salt lake is the central
feature of Utah. 1t washes, or rather
pickles, the shores of five counties. 1t has
a coast line of hundreds of miles. Neither
its waters nor its borders can be monopo-
lized. And now capitalists are beginning
to realize taat it is a colossal storehouse
of wealth 1t can furnish salt and
several kinds of chemicals in quantities to
supply the world, and these substances can
be so easily prepared that the processes are
scarcely,,more expensive than shoveling
them up. One company, whose salt ponds
cover a thousand acres collects $50, 600 tons
of salt per inch depth, and it gets seven
inches at each evaporation. 1t can load
good coarse salt on the cars at a dollar a
ton. Excellent sulphate and carbonate of
soda can be cheaply produced in limitless
quantities. and so can magnesia and other
chemicals. Geutile capital is already be-
ginning to flow into enterprises of this
kind There is no such limit to the growth
of production in this direction as is set to
agriculture by the scarcity of fertile land.
1t may expand Indefinitely, and the Nor
mons can do nothing to prevent it.'
The Examiner editor should, though he
probably will not, feel cheap when he
learns that for forty years the Mormons
have been working the salt industry on the
shores of the lake, and that they have not
done this for the purpose Of keeping Gen
tiles out, but because there has been money
in collecting salt for sale and shipment
