owners would add to stability and social
order in Ireland. The House of Com

large sum to assist purchasers. Nothing
justified the prediction that the Irish people
would repudiate the advances. The meas

duce to the permanent prosperity of the

COUNT Won MOLTKE.

Count Won Moltke, tho great Ger
man soldier who died in Berlin Friday
afternoon, was one of the great military
leaders of the century. He was not
dashing warrior, but perhaps one of the
greatest military engineers the world
has ever produced. He planned sys-
tematically, calculated accurately, and
executed with coolnoss.
The greatest achievement of his life
was the marshaling of the German
army, under command Of Emperor Will
liam, in 1871, at the seige or Paris. So
successful was his strategy thatowithin
six weeks he had placed troops COM
pletely around the French capital.
Emperor William, with bismarck as
his chancellor, and Won Moltke as his
military advisor and the leader of his
armies, consolidated the German EN-
pire into one Of the great nations of tho
world.

ROANOKE. VA. APRIL ee, 1891.
ROANOKE STILL ALIVE.


The activity in real estate the past
week is encouraging, and there is some
reason for the conclusions Of .represen
tative real estate men as published in
the news columns of this paper.
THE TIMES does not believe that reck
less speculation is good for any now
community, nor that it is best for all
the money in circulation to be invested
in real estate. However, a lively real
estate market is good sign. Real es-
tate sells rapidly when it is increasing
in value, and an increase in the valuo of
real estate is an unmistakable evidence
of prosperity.
Nobody will attempt to deny that the
enormous sales of real estate Indicate
considerable speculation. Tho facts
that speculation is possible and that the
wherewith for speculation is hero, arc
prima facie evidence that Roanoke's
growth rests on a sure basis.
When the stringency of money and the
vast transactions in Roanoke last year
are considered, the present activity ap-
pears the more remarkable.
Roanoke is not to be downed by any
accident or circumstance. The wonder
full energy and indomitable will of her
people will force the Magic City ahead
in spite of circumstances.
Before the close of the year 1891 Roa-
noke will have achieved the browning
success OF the industrial development
of the South.
