ROANOKE, VA, JUNE e5, 1892.
THE CAMPAIGN.

1t has been q general opinion that the
Democracy was entering upon an eX-
tremely hazardous fight this campaign.
A calmer view of the situation should
inspire the rank and file of the party
with strong hope and that confidence
which begets success.
The strength of the Republican party
lies in the high personal character of
its candidates, the strong business
characteristics of Harrison's admins
tration, the cohesion of office holders
and the strong welding of the great
capitalistic elements which are bene-
fitted by tho protective features OF the
tariff.
Its weakness lies in the growing SEN
timent of the West toward tariff reduc-
Dor organizations shown by its Vice.
Presidential candidate, and, lastly what
should be first, the prejudiced advocacy
of force bill in it's platform and by
Mr.. Harrison in person.
The Democratic ticket is weakened
by faction in New York whose sim
cericy hes often been questioned -un-
fairly at times, but with good reason at
others. The ticket is strong in the
enthusiastic support Of the million and
half majority of the, white voters of
America who constitute the Democratic
party. Certain eccentric weaknesses of
the platform can be and will be thrust
aside.
1t is great thing to consider that of
the white voters OF America not less
than sixty per cent. are Democrats.
The dominant party in the long run
must inevitably be that one which has
majority of the dominant race.
The Democratic party too. has al
ways been weakened in Presidential
contests by the lack of funds to properly
carry on the campaign. This, too, will
be obviated and plenty of money will be
contributed to aid the party to success.
The force bill will probably be the
paramount issue of the campaign, and
before sixty days have passed the Re-
publicans will be on the defensive.

All Danger of II Break Is Thought TO BE
Over Now.
PorrLsILLE, Pa. June 2l.-The wa.
ter company's leaking dam still holds
together, and from present indications
the break is likely to remain intact
until all the water is drawn off, which
is now being accomplished at tho rate
OF four inches per hour. The BODY of
water at noon yesterday had fallen six.
teen feet, and at this ratio the entire
dam will not be drawn of until Monday.
Tho water company officials now pro-
nouDce tho dam in such condition that
there is no possibility of it's collapsing
and all danger is past. Tho people in
the towns throughout the valley be ow
had returned to their homes from the
mountain side last night, but vigilant
watch was kept during the night to
change in the state of affairs.
A heavy thunderstorm sprang up at
an early hour this morning. and it's Of
feet was electrical on the inhabitants,
who aroused from their peaceful slum-
bers and immediately prepared to again
take to tho mountains, but although
the rain lasted almost ivo hours it did
not materially increase tho inflow at
tho dam.
This morning business and household
duties were again taken up and every.
thing is running along smoothly as
though nothing had happened. AS soon
as the water is entirely drawn off the
company intend rebuilding the breast
in such manner that nothing outside an
earthquake will cause it to leak.

Production. .'
Henry VIII. was the greatest widow
er that ever lived. He was born ut
Ammo Domino in the year 1906. He
had five hundred and ten wives, be-
sides women and children. The first
was beheaded and afterwards exc
cuted; the second was revoked. She
never smiled again.
The greatest man in this reign was
Lord Wolsey. He was called the "Boy
Bachelor" being born at the age of fif-
teen, unmarried. Had he served his
wife as diligently as he served the
king she would not have deprived him
Of his gray hairs.
Henry VIII. quarreled with Lord
Wolsey because he courted Annie
Boleyn. He also quarreled with the
pope because he called him Fido the
Offensive, DanGy Lion and other I'M
pleasant appetites. He also quarreled
with the monasteries. He pulled down
barns and built greater, and the last
state of that man was worse than the
first. He died on the Field of the Cloth
OF Gold. His horse trod on a wet Gin
der; and there was gnashing and weep
ing of teeth.
In this reign the Bible was trans
lated into Latin by Titus Oates, who
was ordered by the king to be chained
up in the church. It was in this reign
that the Duke Of Wellington discovered
America and invented Curfew bells to
prevent fires in theaters.
There was also a great fire in Lon
don called the Black Death, and after
the fire came an earthquake and after
