a GROWING CITY.

TIE TIMES contains this morning a
very general review of the industrial pro-
gress OF Roanoke. 1t is certain that more
money is being expended every month in
building dwellings and business houses
and in expanding industries than at
any previous period in the city's
growth.
The review which is given is not
crowded into single article but crops
out in every column Of the paper. TIE
TINES proposes to chronicle week by
week the progress of development SO
clearly that its every reader far and
near may actually sec the city grow.

WHO is REspoNsIBLEe

After all it is barely possible that the
recent treaty between England and
Portugal on South African relations will
have to be revised, if not completely
transformed. In spite of the provisions
of that document skirmish fighting and
pitched battles between the Queens
troops and Portuguese regulars continue
with unvarying succession and the same
unfavorable results to the smaller king
dom's arms.
Portugal, too, rather con trary to
stercotyped history, where England is
concerned, appears to be in the wrong
on the subject. Great Britain ceded to
Portugal $4,000 square miles of rich ter
ritory north of tho Zambesi and besides
the grant conveys control of the Pung-
wee river, which is the main outlet to
the sea from that section. England of
course, retains her interest in the gold
fields of Mashonaland, but evidently the
South African Company is dissatisfied
with the terms of the treaty, since that
corpora ton is dcspoilcd of much terri
tory. otherwise source Of considerable
wealth.
1t is not altogether improbable that
matters should turn out showing the
South African Company to be the insti-
gator of the continued conflicts. And it
would be still less surprising under the
circumstances if the Salisbury ministry
should be compelled again to subsist on
4 crow diet in the treaty matter.

a Brief Sketch of the Career of IL Worthy
Young Ran.
Willis NJ. Hunt died last night at $40
o'clock at his home, on the corner OF
Tenth avenue and First street, after an
illness of only few days.
Mr.. Hunt came to Roanoke last Sep.
tember from Glen Garden, n. j., to
accept position in the auditors office
Of the Norfolk and Western railroad
He was man of retiring disposition,
but was greatly beloved by those with
whom he had been thrown in close con-
tact. He was a graduate of Lafayette
College, Pa, and was gifted as sketch
artist.
In 1852 he accepted the position of
cartoonist on Tho Voice and held it un-
til forced to give it up on account of his
health.

of tho office with remarkable fidelity

most valuable man.
lie was at work as usual last Saturday
and was taken sick that night with vio-
lent homorrhages and remained in
critical condition during the week. He
was attended by Drs. Gale and Harrison
and despite tho tendcrest care that
could be administered by friends, he
passed away at $40 o'clock last night.
His disease developed into meningitis
He leaves vito and two children.

purchaser could stuff the returns with
10000 ballots in favor of his particular
pet policeman.
1t is undeniable that the friends of
tho individual members of the force,
supposing the contest to be fair and
open, had labored assiduously in behalf
of their special favorites, clipping the
single ballot which presumably accom-
panied each copy of the paper in ques-
ton.
We lay before the public this simple
query: What chance has tho single
subscriber, clipping his single ballot
each day, against printing press which
can print fraudulent ballots, ten at q
time, by the thousand? lie stands no
chance at all.
subterfuge for an excuse-may be Of
fered by our contemporary for thus de-
bauching it's own ballots and it's own
contest. 1t cannot plead that this
scheme was open to all, for on that
basis it could print q paper containing
hundreds OF ballots to each copy, thus
swapping tho contest beneath a deluge
of mere numbers which mean nothing.
1t cannot advance the excuse that each
fraudulent ballot was paid for at tho
price of single copy of the paper, for
that utterly destroys the popularity"
Of the contest and reduces it merely to
the expenditure of the most money.
The simple, unaltcrablc, undeniable
fact remains that the contest has been
so utterly debauched that no officer
with particle of selfrespect could now
either receive or wear that badge. no
matter what his majority or how the
majority may be obtained.
The whole contest is rotten and the
paper which started the contest is guilty
of dishonoring it and dipping its own
subscribers, who supposed the contest
was to be fairly conducted.
