ROANOKE VA, SUNDAY MORNING. JULY rs, 1891

stantiy engaged in plotting for our own
peneht and advancement, and are quite
willing for the sake of reaching our
enos, not only to destroy the party to
which we belong, but to subvert the
popular liberty and utterly uproot our
free American institutions. Others
seem OF tho opinion that we should be
utillzed as orators a1 county fairs and
other occasions of Fall sorts and at all
sorts OF places. Some think we should
interfere in every political contest and
should be constantly in readiness to
express an opinion on every subject OF
political character that anybody has
the ingenuity to suggest. Others still
regard it as simply dreadful for us to do
tnese things, and are greatly disturbed
every time an ex-President ventures to
express an opinion on any subject Not
few appear to think we should simply
exist and be blind, deaf and dumb the
remainder of our days.
In the midst all this vast majority
OF the plain American people are, as
usual, sound and sensible. They arc
sell-respecting enough and have dignity
enough to appreciate the fact that their
respect and confidence as neighbors is
something which an Ex-president may
well covet, and which like any other
man ne ought to earn. They will meas
ure the regard and consideration due to
MIN by his usefulness and worth as
private citizen. They will not agree
mat the fact OF his having besn Presi.
uent gives him any license for bad be-
havior. or that it burdens him with an
unfavorable presumption. There arc
sentiments which we on the side of the
Ex-presidents will gladly adopt, and
these conditions we can we'll afford to
accept"
Mr.. Cleveland's speech was received
with burst of applause, and Gov. Rus
sell replied on behalf OF the State.

The Cramps to Build tho Cruiser.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-ISpeciall-
Secretary Tracy has decided to award
the construction Of cruiser No. 10 to the
William Cramp & Sons Ship and Engine
Building Company. The price agreed
upon was S2,690,000, the same as sum-
mitted by the Bath Iron Works, of
Maine. The secretary's object in giving
the contract to the Cramps instead Of the
Maine firm is to facilite the construc-
tlon of the ship. At least years time
will be gained, as the Cramps have
every facility to do the work speedily.
The vessel, when completed, must make
not less than twenty one knots per hour,
and this speed must be made for four
hours. She will be one of the speediest.
vessels in tho world.

THREATS OF LYNCHING.
The Authorities Taking Every Precaution
to Keep Smith in Jail

The Authorities Taking Every Precaution
to Keep Smith in Jail.
Threats of lynching John Smith have
been INDUCED in quite, freely since he
killed Peter Ailiff Thursday.
1t was rumored early Friday night
that an attack would be made on the
jail just before day yesterday morning.
Some extra police were put on duty
and large part of the entire force re-
manned in easy reach of the Jail through
the night, but no attack was made.
Again last night it was rumored that
Smith would be lynched. Several
mounted policemen kept close watch
on the small crowds that were gathered
in different parts of the city, and num-
Der OF officers were again near the jail.
About 10 o'clock, at the request of the
mayor, the Roanoke Light Infantry as
sembled at the armory to be in readi-
ness in case an attack should be made
upon the Jail.
Sergeant Taynham says that he will
resist till the last any attempt to take
the prisoner from his custody. Every
thing is quiet at the hour of going to
press and there seems to be no reason
to believe that Smith will be lynched.
None but powerful mob could force
the jail against the resistance O. the
sergeant, and should an attack he made,
the police and military would probably
have no difficulty in repelling the mob.
The would-be lynchers evidently realize
that an attempt to break the Jail would
result in failure.

LONDON, July a5.-[Special]-It is
now regarded as certain that the session
OF Parliaw at will wind up next Satur-
day. The( iscussion on the estimates
will not bg prolonged. The Liberal
leaders will probably deal with the arr

office vote, and there will be some
cursory talk about such questions as
the triple alliance. The Indian budget
will be taken up next Wednesday, and
by that time it is likely that a few
mem bers will be left at Westminster to
discuss it.

WHY KOCH RESIGNED.
BERLIN, July Especial The an
nouncement on Thursday that Professor
Koch had resigned all public offices held
by him caused considerable discussion
and speculation as to the real cause
OF this action upon his part, as there had
been rumors circulating for some time

was dissatisfied with tho results of his
tuberculine discoveries. His resigna-
ton was said to.be connected with this
unsatisfac tory state OF affairs. The AS
sociated Press is authorized to say that
Professor Koch has not resigned his off,
cial positions on account of failure of
tuberculine or Kochlsm. but because he
is upon the point OF accepting new

IN the interest OF Pier0la. The uprising

by Mr. W. II. Herb RI. of IL Narlck place,
