The Stage Still Used Between Roanoke and
Winston, N. @.

The Stage Still Used Between Roanoke and
Winston, N. @.
From the Baltimore Sun.
The business men of Roanoke. Va.
are very much displeased at the action
OF the Postoff1ce Department. in falling
to put the railway mail service in oper-
alton on the Winston-Salem division of
the Norfolk and Western railway, run
ming from Roanoke to Winston. Salem.
N. O., distance of 1T miles. Tho road
has been in operation five months, with
two passenger trains in each direc ton
each day, yet the mail is still carried
between these two terminal point Is of
$4,000 and Is, 600 population respectively,
with several considerable towns along
inc route by stage. The department
mas DeeR asked repeatedly to put on tho
lIway service, but has not done so,
and 1T is said tho only move thew have
made in that direction was to offer the
railway the Same compensation now
paid the stage company-Sl6 per mile
per annum, while the usual compensa-
ton for railway service of this class is
S42.75 per mile per annum.
me railway company refused this
offer and the mail still goes by coach,
much to the Inconvenience of the Roa-
noke merchants who do o considerable
wholesale trade along the line of the
road, and haYe to submit to the incon-
venience of having goods shipped to
their customers arrive from two to three
days in advance of the invoices. Taking
this instance of Mr.. Wanam aker's fail
ure to put on proper mail service where
it is badly needed in connection with
his recent efforts to break down the fast
mail service in the South Atlantic
States, the people of Roanolxe saen RI
think the department has no desire to
improve the mail service in the South
and bring 1t up to the same standard as
In the Northern States. When Second
Assistant Postmaster. General Bell was
asked. about the matter to-day be denied
that there had been any discrimination
against that railway. He said there had
been no appropriation available until
July |, and the matter is now under
consideration. He said there were roads
in various parts of the country hauling
the mails for less than STATS, but he did
not specify any of the roads he re-
ferred to.

a Fine Gift to Christ Church.

The vestry of st. Johns Episcopal
Church, at a recent meeting, decided to
present to Christ Episcopal Church the
old church building on the corner of
Commerce street and Church avenue,
with the proviso that it be moved from
Its present location, as st. Johns Church
does not own the lot. The question of
acceptance Of this liberal offer will be
decided at meeting of the vestry of
Christ Church, to be held Friday after
noon, no doubt being entertained, how
ever, but that the gift will be accepted.
This vestry has also rented the resi-
dence, 020 Roanoke street, for a rectory.

THE PROFESSIONAL POLITICIAN.

Perhaps no age or country was ever
afflicted with so many professional poll
ticians as the United States in these
closing years of the nineteenth century.
They are Indigenous to no particular
section, but hold forth alike in the city
hastings and at the cross-road stores
from Maine to California. No subject
is too intricate or profound for the COM
prehensive sweep of their mighty minds.
Free trade and protection and the
question of the national currency, sub
jects which have puzzled and perplexed
the brains of the profoundest statesmen
OF the age, are satisfactorily settled, at
least to themselves, as easily as the
preliminaries to dog fight. So rapid
has been their multiplication in the few
years past that they have actually be-
come a source of obstruction and an eye
sore to the business interests of the
country.
They are usually divided into two
classes, enc OF which is composed of the
calamity howlers who eternally look
upon the coming disasters of the gov
ernment and deserve for their PARROT
ism the guerdeon OF halter. The
other class is composed of the patriots
who have the penetration to see through
grind rock, IL you drill hole through
1T and lead them up to it.
and who are continuously anxious to
stand upon the battlements of the
nations watch tower of liberty and il a
danger is pointed out to them to cackle
as vociferously as did that othe, flock of
kindred spirits that saved the eternal
city.
Both classes are truly curse and a
nuisance to any civilized land. but how
to remedy the evil does not appear.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July 2O.-lSpe-
ciall-The State convention of the Peo-
pies party was called to order here at
noon to day. About thirty two out of
tao forty-tve counties were represented.
The delegates who have arrived so far
number about 200. They represent the
Farmers Alliance, Republicans, numer-
GUS labor and industrial organizations
and "kicking' Democrats. There are
very few colored men among the dele
gates. A temporary organization was
effected and the committee on creden.
tials retired. The rest of the time
up to the dinner hour was consumed in
speechmakiDg.
The convention will probably be in
session two days and will put up a
full State ticket and make a Congress
sional nomination. There are rumors
that if the State ticket is half way &C.
ceptable to the Republicans they will
indorse it and make hot fight on the
Democracy.

Snnator Hale of Maine gave voice
to an important truth when, in the
tempest of the fight over the Presi-
Dental nomination, he said;
"Those people who talk of any rup-
ture over the result of the convention
are mistaken in their Judgment of
the composition of the Republican
party. A convention where there is a
contest aud the blood of the delegates
is stirred with excitement and feeling
is always better for the party than
when the convention is dull and stu
pid and partakes of the character of a
mere ratification meeting. 1t is the
latter which the party has need to
fear and not the former"
1t is now the duty of every Repub-
ican far as in him lies to help prove
the truth of Senator Hale's assertion.

Every admirer of that noblest of all
animals, the horse-and everyone who
is truly human can but admire that
kingly animal should read Rev. T.
De Witt Talmage's article, "The
Horse and the Race Track" which
appears in the July number of that
excellent magazine, the Philadelphia
Ladies' Home Journal. We here quote
what he says in regard to the "Mal-
treatment of Horses:
What do I think of the maltreat-
ment of this beautiful and wonderful
creature of God, you ask me? If
Thomas Chalmers, in his day, felt
called upon to utter a protest against
cruelty to animals, how much more,
in this day, is there constant need
of articles and books in defence of the
horse! All honor to the memory of
Henry Bergh, the chief apostle for
the brute creation, for the mercy he
demanded and achieved for this king
of beasts. And no smaller wreath Of
laurel for Miss Sewell, for her God
inspired work, "Black Beauty" A
man who owned four thousand horses,
and some say forty thousand, wrote
in the Bible: "A righteous man regard
eth the life of his beasts" Sir Henry
Lawrence's care of the horse was beau
tifully Christian. He says: II expect
we shall lose Conrad though I have
taken SO much care of him that he
may come in cool. always walk him
the last four or five miles, and as I
walk myself the first hour, it is only
in the middle of the journey we get
over the ground
In this connection the TRIBUNE
would suggest to owners of horses,
and more especially to liverymen, the
necessity of having comfortable, well
ventilated quarters for these animals.
Many stables are so constructed that
horses are deprived Of good air and
the light is almost entirely shut out,
making their quarters more like dun
geon than anything else. With these
poorly ventilated, badly constructed
and arranged stables, it is not surpris-
ing that SO many horses die with con-
gestion, Inflammation of the lungs
and other diseases that horses are
subject to. A reform in the matter of
barns and stables is much needed.
