years. The conception OF railroad
university ranks as high as tho devel-
opment of the Boston Institute OF Tech
nology or Johns Hopkins University.
So thoroughly practical and practi-
cable is the idea that tho whole world
will now wonder why it has not been
thought of before. a railroad training
and fitting school is prime necessity,
and should long ago have been put in
operation. it is strange that while
schools in agric ulture, law, medicine,
surgery, dentistry, architecture, civil,
lcctrical, mining and mechanical engi-
neering, and a dozen other
branches of professional life should
have sprung into strong activity,
a profession requiring tho highest and
this country alone the actual operation
Of over seven billion dollars of in
vested capital, transporting annually an
even greater volume, directing the en-
ergies of an army of 100000 men and
intrusted annually with tho lives of
majority of tho American people, should
be still recruiting it's ranks with raw
apprentices, whose costly education is
acquired slowly and extensively in
actual contact with the very work for
which experts alone arc fitted.
This great idea having cmanated
from a citizen Of Roanoke, Roanoke may
we'll be first in the field asking for tho
location of such a world. wide institu.
ton. World wide it would certainly be,
for, were it announced that school had
been established for teaching the
science and practice Of American rail
reading, pupils would be drawn to it
from every ciziiized country on the
face of the globe.
Still more, Congress appropriltes an
nually hundreds of thousands for the
benefit Of agricultural colleges in every
section Of the country. 1t could with
equal right be asked to aid in the estab-
lishment OF school which would rep
resent the second estate OF the country.
THE TIMES sincerely hopes tn At Roam
oke will grasp tho idea and the oppor-
tunity Such university az MIR.
Crueger outlines would grow on its
merits to DO the leading technical insti-
tuition in the world in an incredibly
short space Of time. 1t would add to
the city's luster jewel Of priceless
value.

THE PLATFORM.

iii Regard to tho Tariff


III Regard to tho Tariff.
OMAHA, July 4.-[Special THE fol.
lowing song, to the tune of "Eobin
Hood greeted tho delegates and sp eta
tors as they filed into the big Coliseum
for the afternoon session:
The robbcr of old WAS simple and bol'i,
And rarely put on any rrills;
Hut the rohbcr of day has different way
And the taxpayers foot tic bills.
Get Of, get off tho earth, we can't
have rest upon it, was the successor to
Tine tax payers foot the bills" They
were sung from the stage with spirit
by tho phenomenal glee club, and re-
ceived with enthus asm. Half a dozen
other lively airs followed, one being ac-
companied by a kicking shuttle of the
feet as ii the bassos saw with prophetic
vision tho gentle propulsion of an inyis.
ible army of oiflceholders Of tho old par
tics making an involuntary exodus
The songs served tho double purpose
OF keeping tho audience in good humor
and in a semblance Of order. 1t was
o'clock when Chairman Louck called
the convention to order, but it was
after p. m. befur all the delegates and
visitors had secured seats and the raps
Of the chairman had resulted in even
the beginning OF business. The i'm
mense hall was almost completely
filled. 1t was very sultry and fully
third Of the delegates were in their shirt
sleeves.
A motion was carried that the resolu
ton committee report such parts Of the
platform az were ready and that these
be- considered while other parts of tho
>1.@f 1,r,., L.
was apparently the first move on the
part Of the Weaver men to hasten bal
lot. The suspicion had gained currency
that the committee ON resolutions was
not anxious to make a very speedy
progress for the reason that it, as
whole, preferred Judge Gresham as
candidate and wanted time to get an
agreement from him that be would let
the convention nominate him. Tha
motion was carried but tho committee
reported that it was not prepared just
yet to make partial report.
Then an effort was made to proceed
at once to nominations and another to
adopt tho st. Louis platform without
further delay. These movements be-
coming known to the resolutions COM
mittee, stampeded them, and they
soon filed upon the stage with tho plat
form hastily concluded
The platform starts off as follows:
'rhc conditions which surround us
hest justify our corporations; we meet
IN the midst Of q nation brought to tho
verge OF II oral, political and material
ruin. Corruption dominates the ballet

mon are denied the right OF organization
for self-protection; imported pauperised
labor beats down their wages; hireling
standing army, unrecognized by our
laws, is established to shoot them down
and they are rapidly degenerating into
European conditions"
Both of the great parties are scored
for struggling "for power and plumber,
while, grievous wrongs have been in
ficted upon the suffering people," The
platform demands tho FREQ and unlim-
tied coinage Of silver and gold at tho
present legal ratio OF IL to l, but has
nothing to say on the tariff.
The concluding paragraph is as fol-
lows: "All land now ncld by railroads
and other corporations il excess OF their
actual needs and all lands now owned
by aliens should be reclaimed by tho
Government and held for actual settlers
only"
Tho platform was unanimously
adopted, after which recess was taken.

There was buta corporal's guard of Con.
gress at the capitol to-day, four. tifths Of
whom were members Of tho House, and
they congregatcd mostly in the
speakers room. They included the
Speaker, Representatives MONTGOMERY.
Catchlngs, Dockery, and the free coin
age champions, Bland, OF Missouri, and
Williams, of Illinois. The meeting of
those persons hardly assumed the for.
mality Ola conference but tho silver
question came in for share of serious
discussion. The results SO far as known,
were inconscque
Bland, who is chairman of the com i.
mttto on coinage, weights and meas
ures, reached the city this morning. He
says the bill which is now on tho
Speakers table will be referred t., the
committee tomorrow. a meeting of
the committee will be called for the
following day and if tho hill is not
finally acted on then it is probable that
daily meetings of the committee will be
held until action is taken. Bland is
very anxious to get tho bill before the
House promptly. Accompanying the
committees report, which Bland has no
doubt will he favorable. will probably
be request to have tho committee on
rules set aside day for its considera-
ton.
Bland has no doubt whatever as to
the ultimate passage of the bill by the
House When questioned as to tho pol
icy Of such action in view of the dec.
laration Of the Democratic convention
on tho question he replied that he
could speak only for himself and those
members who came to Washington
pledged to support free coinage; that it
was good politics to be honest with tho
people.

inmates Oh House oil III Fame Forced to
Vacnte.
On Sunday night the house of i'll
famo on Railroad avenue, kept by Nora
Heath, was assaulted and almost de-
molished. 1t appears that between the
hours of IL and / o'clock on that night
body of men numbering TWEEN
ty or twenty-five attacked the
place simultaneously from all sides
With sbrick bats. large stones and
pistol shots. The blinds and glasses
of tho windows. both down and
up stairs, were utterly demolished, as
were also the front and rear doors.
Tho weight of somo of the missiles
and the force with which they we're
thrown was such that they passed
through tho windows as though they
had been spider webs, wrcckiDg furni
ture. sp'intering the side walls and
tearing off sheets of plastering. In the
kitchen and dining room several bullets
were picked up, and the windows ard
walls arc pretty thoroughly perforated
with them. Not a window or n door
escaped, and the wonder is that any Of
tho inmates did. Strange TO say, no one
was INJURED.
The cause of the trouble IL supposed
to have had it's origin in the ncighhor-
hood from whence the police not long
since removed the woman Nora Heath
and Der companions, and to " hich she
had returned only day or two aga
The police at once took charge of tho
matter, and five warrants will probably
b0 issued, as the women claim to have
recognized some Of their assailants.

ROANOKE, VA. JULY 5, 1892.
BUSINESS FIRST.

AT q meeting last evening attended
by fourteen of tho sixteen members of
Council from tho First, Second, Fourth
and Fifth wards, it was decided to hold
a caucus to select candidates for those
offices in the gift Of Council. This &C
ton was not taken without the earnest
remonstrance of q considerable minority
OF tho ablcst and most influential MEM
bcrs of Council.
That tho caucus will convene is Ger
tain; whether it will pursue It's p-cdo-
termined course to tho end remains to
be seen. 1t is not an unexpected move,
but it's outcome will be awaited with
forobodings by many who hold the in
terosts OF the city paramount to the in.
terests OF party. Not but what 4
caucus has the ability to nomina @ fit
men for all positions, but tho general
precedent has been against such results,
and the common opinion seems we'll
grounded that tho controlling infiu-
ences which dominated in favor Of n
caucus would not have forced ono had
they not been con iident o u majority in
favor of their secret slate.
The situation, however, deserves a
calm, impartial discussion. 1t is un-
derstood that Council is select business
body, chosen to Conduct in large meas
IRE the affairs Of the city. Probably
nine out Of ten Councilman would resent
tho imputation that they were elected
10 be political partsans and not to con-
duct the city's affairs in businesslike
manner. If Council is a business body,
IT is as out Of place for its members 80
inquire into the politics of applicants as
it would be TO examine them Oh ques.
lions OF theology.
Even the most extreme partisan may
ask why. If caucus is to be held, was
it not held before the president OF Coun-
Gil was chosen. Was the caucus not SO
held, because It's promoters found on a
count of noses that they colld not con-
irol it in favor Of tho ono whose election
they desired to secure? At this late
date many candidates have secured tho
'c.edges Of Councilman in their interests
chat their names will be presented be-
lore the regular Council meeting by
them. Are these Counc:lmen, thus
pledged, to be forced to break their
promises?
This is tho most important legislative
body in the history of the csy. IL can
only lessen its influence by nircowne SIS
OF action. A single case vii. Illustrate
it all. The city is destined to have
numerous important lawsuits in con.
ncction with it's public alfIirs. The
oGice of city solicitor will be oue Of the
most important to DO filled. What
opinion could the city have of Council
that would intrust its legal interests
involving perhaps hundreds of thou
sands of dollars to callow and brieness
iledgling limb of law, whose practic is
nil and whose sole claim TO suca eleva-
,ion and distinction lies in his fealty to
the machine?
Yet such may bo the probable out.
como Of the caucus. If such is the case
the city will have cause to charge up
within two years tho following item to
profit and loss:
