There was full meeting of the board

board. The committee was then in.
structed to prepare the necessary speci
hcations and advertise for proposals for
the construction of tho building.
The board of directors directed that
the 90 per cent due on tho subscription
to the hospital fund should be called
in 30 per cent. monthly payments, 10
per cent. to be paid on tho first and 10
per cent. on the 18th OF every month
until the full amount has been paid in.
The building committee, consisting of
Messrs. Soule, chairman; HAWTHORN,
Asberry and Watts, was dire cted to be-
gin work at :he earliest possible date
and push 1t to prompt completion.
holland e de Saussure gave evidence

watch. Every young lady in Roanoke
is eligible.

1t is not necessary for the Legislature to
enact law prohibiting women from serving
as bartenders In the LIQUOR shops OF this city.
There is an emphatic public sentiment against
their employment in that servlce and this fact
was demonstrated last year when several Of
them were brought over from England and put
behind the bars OF two liquor shops. which
were at once deserted by their customers. Tho
bartenders are opposed to the innovation. and
30 are the public. and 80 is the learned Will
LIAM SCHMIDT. and so are the members Of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union. It
cannot. therefore. be made to 90.
The passage Of the bill on the subject that
has been brought UP in the Legislature is un.
necessary.
Look here again. It Is customary In many
OF our German lager beer saloons for the wives.
sisters. or daughters Of their keepers to draw
the fosming beverage Of GAMBRrNus and serve
It to the families Of auafers who sit at the
tables while debating questions In philosophy
or singing songs Of the emotions. Would

why They Fight for Delay.

It Is curious how the raving desperation
with which the New York Mugwumps are
attempting to delay the regular Democratic
State Convention reveals the foundation
idea OF the CLEVELAND enterprise.
Not one OF these anti-Democrats Is such
fool as to say to himself in seriousness that
Democratic State Convention meeting on the
Fourth OF July would appoint delegation
essentially different from one appointed by
Q Convention meeting on the 22d OF Febru-
sry. The Mugwumps rage for delay. for
the reason that their only hope OF exerting
upon the delegations from other States
whatever force there may be In the delu-
sion that CLEVELAND is a living element In
the politics OF New York. lies In setting up
those delegations before New York has had
Q chance to speak. Their single remaining
weapon is the most obtrusive quality OF
their andidate-humbug.
The Democracy has been fed with hum
bug BEFORE and 1t has starved on It. 1t
Graves now to have strong meat. 1t pro-
poses to declare its wish and to have 1t.
New York will speak out on Feb % with
the emphasis Of harmony and hope: and
what she says will be submitted to the con-
sideration Of the national Democracy
throughout the land with the assurance that
It IL the truth. and that 1t indicates the
way to Victory.

The Watterson Club.

We notice with interest and satisfaction
the formation OF WATTERsoN Club in the
city of Louisville. Tho aim OF the club is
pacific and harmonious. Its prime object
is to advance all that Is patriotic. noble. and
pure in politics. and to advance the best in-
terests OF the party it represents in city.
State. and national affairs" 1t Is not to be
clique or coterie. for every good Demo-
crat is invited to become member" A club
bearing the name Of the accomplished and
chivalrous Col. WATTERsoN could not but be
catholic in its Democracy. Its members
will not seek what is patriotic. noble. and
pure by going off into corner and COM
muning with themselves. as the Mugwumps
do. and imagining that the way to improve
politics Is to frown upon parties. Col. WAT
rERsoN strives always for what he believes
to be patriotic. noble. and pure In politics.
but the Democratic party is always good
enough for him. There may have been oc
casions in the past when he was inclined to
insist that patriotism. nobility. and purity
consisted mainly in tweaking the nose OF
the Robber Tariff and gazing with fond but
respectful admiration into a certain pair of
stellar optics. But he has passed that stage.
He Is willing To let Democrats live and
thrive. even If they are not as full Of rapture
as he is at the sight or the thought Of the
Star-Eyed One.

Pensions for Civil Servants.

We should not have supposed that Dem
ocratic Legislature would be thought the
kind OF body with which bills providing for
pensions to public servants incapacitated
through old age. illness. or accident would
find favor. Several bills OF that sort have
been introduced. and it is said that more
are to come. The police. the park police.
the firemen, and the school teachers have
been or are to be encouraged and protected
by such pension bills
Certain funds are appropriated to the
police pension fund by the Excise law.
This. OF course. is liable to be changed by
every Legislature. and. therefore. q bill pro-
viding for that contingency Is. We under-
stand. to be brought in. The inclination to
vote for such a bill. and to furnish also a
system Of pensions for the firemen.
win undoubtedly be strong. The efficiency
OF the Police and Fire Departments OF this
town is a matter OF pride for every citizen.
But the Legislature must be careful about
taxing tho whole body Of the people for the
benefit OF few individuals. Policemen
and fircmen injured In the public service
may be regarded us deserving to be recon-
penscd and supported by the publicin whose
behalf they have become disabled, hut there
is no sdhiud reason why the public should
bc called upon to pay n cent toward the
support of policemen or hremcn who are
retired on account Of reaching certain
age. These public servants receive better
pay than the majority Of their fellow citi-
sens. and 1t Is unjust to the public at large
