KAN SAS.

The mistaken policy OF the conduct
ors of the republican campaign in Kan.
sas in 1890 was changed in 1891. Ir
go the party was controlled ty soft
hands and feeble weapons. Its policy
was apolegetic, eowardly. Its tickets
were, in many counties, formed viii
the view of counting malcontents and
tahying elements. Its platforms were
anything to catch votes.
In 81 the campaign was aggressive
republican doctrines were everywhere
preached, soft words were unheard. ad,
dressed to its enemies; the enemies oi
progress and financial honor, enemies oil
the ground idea of republicanism,
America for Americans, cheap neces,
saries and good wages for American
workers"
Republican speakers in 81 were NOT
afraid to meet traducers of the best
men and best measures of the party
with strong words; we're not afraid to
stand up boldly for good republican
principles, and meet weak assertion with
convincing argument.
A look backward will now be profita-
bic to party leaders. They know OF
their mistakes in go, but it will be we'll
that they be analysed and meditated
upon. We commend this process.
The change in majorities in Kansas
shows many things; especially do they
show that fevers must run their course.
Republicans had greater gains and the
secret society party had greater losses
in the late election in counties which
went strongly against the party last
year, than in counties where the secret
work had not been fully organized last
year. In some of this latter class the
grip and pass word party made some
gains this year.
The late election and it's results take
load from the prospects of future
progress in the material interests of
the state which was beginning to be
felt with crushing effects in every ham
let; and there cannot be an honest man,
a patriot, who loves his state and
wishes for its continued welfare, within
the bounds of the state, no matter
what has been his recent political &C
ton. but rejoices at the result
The result in Kansas and Nebraska is
more important and promises greater in
huence on the coming national contest
than the campaign in New York or
Iowa In both those states the election
was carried upon local issues.
II national political issues had been
brought to the front and the battle been
fought upon them in either New York
or Iowa, it is now conceded by good
judges, the result would have been dit.
terent in both those states.
The mistake Of conducting import
ant campaigns upon interior issues is
an old one. and is always brought about
by the party which dares not risk q
contest upon the main questions, its
policy being to force the issue upon
local side shows /.
Republicans of Iowa and New York
were worked" in just this way and
beaten BY this dodge.
In Kansas and Ohio the campaign
was so conducted as to be of national
In Ohio the contest
was clean cut on national party princi-
pies, and the result is a national
victory.
In Kansas it turned the tide of the
peoples party. Here was the strong.
hold OF that party; to this state all con-
verts in other states were exhorted to
look for inspiration, and their defeat in
Kansas means the end of Its work.

FOR A MILITARY ACADEMY.

A Movement to Reorganize Allegheny In
stitute.
There is plan on OF to merge Allie
ghany Institute into military academy,
but the new feature will probably not
be inaugurated until the opening of
next season. The school needs about
$4,000 in money to put up the necessary
new buildings in order to equip it thor
oughly as military school.
1t has been suggested by friends OF
the school that it would be we'll to ask
that DR.. A. e. Dickinson, proprietor of
the Religious. Herald, at Richmond
take charge ofthe work Of raising S15,-
900. He has raised endowment funds for
more colleges in Virginia, and friends
of the school think that If be will take
hold of the matter no doubt the money
can be raised for the erection of one or
two buildings on the grounds, necessary
to thoroughly equip the new school.

ALL QUIET IN CHILL.
The Yorktown Ordered to Join tho Pacific
Squadron.


WASHINGTON. Oct. 7.-(Speciall-
Acting Secretary Solely said this after

sent out merely in the ordinary routine
OF business, simply directing her to sail
when she was ready for sea.

AocHARTER GRANTED
To the Roanoke Title and Con-
veyance Company.

| One OF the most important charters
over granted by tho Hastings Court was
issued by Judge Robertson yesterday &c
the Roanoke Title and Conveyance
Company. The capital is $50,
divided into 100000 preferred per cent.
cumulative dividend stock and sac. Oor
common stock.
The officers for the first year are:
President, Thomas w. Miller; vice
president. Jos. Il. Engleby; secretary
and etreasurer, S. L. Percy; directors.
I. w. Miller, Jos. IT. Engieby, w. S.
Hancock. James S. Simmons and A. u.
Rice.
This com pany is the fruition OF eight
years OF hard labor and constant effort
on the part OF City Solicitor Thomas w.
Miller. Ever since he came to Roanoke
his central idea has been the establish
ment and thorough equipment OF a title
ana conveyance company. To this end
he has devoted assiduous labor and
thousands of dollars of money. For
years he gathered old records of Roam
oke and Botetourt county preparatory
to tho final systematic labors of the la st
two years.
Eighteen months ago MIR. Miller set
to work staff of trained lawyers and
clerks to collect and collate data bear
ing on land titles in Roanoke city clear
back to the land grants of King George
Ill. All records of Roanoke and Bote.
tourt counties were examined save those
which were destroyed during tho civil
war. Then the search was brought
down to Roanoke city records.
Inc system adopted for this company is
that used by the Nero ntile Tito Com
pany, of Philadelphia. Mr.. Miller made
careful examination of the system used
in general cities and found that tho
Philadelphia system was far the best for
this city, as it is capable of unlimited
expansion.
Under this system the data relative
to each lot has been collated, and from
that data engineers navo drawn maps
OF every square and every lot in every
square in Roanoke. Copies have been
made of all suits and court proceedings
and all other matters of record relative
TO tho conveyance of land, as we'll as
all sales for delinquent taxes and mu-
nlcipal assessments. A complete record
has been made of all judgments OBJ
tanned in the corporation and circuit
courts of the city. The chain of owl
dence is complete regarding each and
every lot in Roanoke, and in minute
the complete record can be found, and
an abstract prepared in few hours
which will be absolutely correct
10 perfect this system required the
making of $4,000 abstract of deeds, the
compilation of somo 10000 separate
blanks and the expenditure of many
thousand dollars. The result obtained
is facility and accuracy in abstracts and
a practical codification of the land re-
cords of tine Office of the clerk of the
court.
In addition to examining titles and
preparing abstracts the company will
be prepared to go extensively into the
various lines of legal and fiduciary bust
ness, which are relative to it's own par
ticular line.

HOLDING THEIR WHEAT.

The Farmers ofThfs Section Expect More
Thnn ii Dollar BusheI.
The milling companies in and around
Roanoke say that the farmers are hold
ing back their wheat for better prices,
and in some instances it is hard to get
as much wheat as they want TO grind.
Mr.. James A. Fishburne, one of the
proprietors of the Roanoke Milling
Company, said yesterday that SO far he
had succeeded in buying as much wheat
as he wanted, although it was coming
in rather slowly at the present. Said
he: The farmers are holding back
their wheat expecting to get moro than
81 bushel for it. do not doubt but
that it is good policy, for 1 believe
that wheat is bound to come up. The
demands of Europe makes this q matter
fully agreed upon by all wheat mer-
chants"
AT Gambill's Mill there isno falling
off i'll the shipments of wheat to the city'
but they do not increase, as was ex-
pected. This is also attributed to the
holding back of the crops by the farm
ers.
1t was thought by most of the millers
that the farmers would be compelled to
sell their crops as soon as harvest was
over on account of the previous years
being failure. But this seems to have
fallen through. The farmers have all
been blessed with tho finest crops Of
every description yet known, and it
seems that they are able to hold their
wheat while other crops are being mark
eted.
Wheat is still firm at 81 bushel, and
considerable is being sold at that price
throughout the Valley and Southwest
Virginia. From this source nearly all
the mills are receiving their supplies.
The actual rate Of wheat will not bo
fully determined before November /,
after which time the supply for the To-
cal trade will be greater.
