THE public Of Roanoke has waited
long enough for the public building
site to have been settled, and for the
building to be half wayup. 1t indicates
an extraordinary ability on the part of
some one to delay matters that moro
Roadway has not been made. II the
difficulties are not speedily adjusted
there will be new elements entering
into the matter, which will give differ.
emit bearing to the whole subject.

Fell From the Cars.

M. M. Boyer, a farmer living in Bod
ford county, was at the depot yesterday
at noon when the train on the Winston
Salem division came in. A shifting
engine was hitched to the cars to take
them to the car sheds below the depot
when Mr.. Boyer boarded the cars. think
ing it was the noon train going east.
When told by the brakeman that he
was wrong he attempted to get off. The
cars by this time was going at fast
rate, and Mr.. Boyer, being old and
feeble, fell and was considerably bruised.
The car steps struck him as he fell and
knocked him aside. otherwise the train
would have passed over him, and death
would have been instantaneous.

PRESS COMMENTS.
stiil Another Reason.


From the Baltimore SUM-
Tho Iron Belt, published ut Roanoke,
Va, in its last issue states that the
track laid since January on the main
line and different branches of the Ohio
and West Virginia extensions of the
Norfolk and Western railroad aggre-
gates more than sixty miles. Tho total
track now laid on the line is 142 miles,
leaving fifty miles remaining to be
built to complete the extension. 1t is
further stated that work on the new
division will be completed not later
than October, possibly during the month
of September. The Norfolk Ledger,
commenting on the prospective early
completion Of this extension says: This
new road is one of the most importan
of Norfolk's trade adjuncts that has yet
been constructed, as it will open up not
only tho coal and timber trade of West
Virginia to our port, but will also en-
able the productions of the West and
Northwest to reach the Atlantic sea-
board at this point" The completion
of this extension Will DO of great benefit
to Roanoke, which is the headquarters
of the Norfolk and Western system, and
constitutes another reason why the Bal
timore and Ohio road should be OK
tended to that city at the earliest day
possible.

ALIbeI on tho American People.

From the New York Prcss.
The Rochester, Post Express 10 quoted
as saying OF the almost universal protest
against the cruel punishment of Private
1ams, OF the Pennsylvania militia, that
1--WE are convinced that the great clamor
raised in his behalf is insincere. 1t is
not due to sympathy for Iams 80 much
as to sympathy for his opinions. The
one side had victim in the wounded
Frick, and the other side has set up
victim in the punished Iams."
This is most outrageous libel OH the
American people, and on the great ma
joriLy OF American newspapers. Seldom
has any violation of right and justice
called forth condemnation so nearly
unanimous as that which greeted Iams'
torture without trial.
The Press, with other newspapers,
disapproved of Iams' anarchistic con-
duct. because we believe in law and
order, and detest anarchy and disorder,
and that very belief led to the con-
domination Of the method of his punish
ment. The cruel and illegal infliction
of torture on tie Pennsylvania soldier
in time of peace, ana without trial or
| conviction, was an act calculated to
promote and foster lawlessness, and it
is difficult to see how any genuine
friend OF law and order can find an ex-
cuSe for it.

EXTRA SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURES

Rumors are ahoat in regard to an
extra session of the Legislature. There
may be reasons unknown to the general
public that might make it wise and to
the best interests of the State for such
session to be called, but unless there
are such urgent reasons, the expendi-
ture that would be necessary to have
the extra session would not be compen.
stated for by the benefits. The only
ground we have heard advanced as
reason for an extra session is the oyster
law. While that may be imperfect, and
might be improved 80 as to give the
State larger taxes, yetit is hardly posi-
BILE that the increase of taxes would
equal the cost of the extra session.
THE TIMES has been unable to find
out whether it is definitely settled or
not, or whether there is any roal urgent
reason for the calling Of the Legisla-
ture, but trusts it is q mere rumor with
out any just foundation. as the constant
making Of laws only unsettles business,
keeps capital uneasy and is generally
of very little benefit.

LATE RET URNs FROM ALABAMA.

The latest retu ms from Alabama do
not bear out the glowing pictures
which the press dispatches Of Tuesday
and Wed nesday nights gave of the Dem
ocratic success. 1t now looks as if
Kolb, the Alliance leader, carried
majority of white ounties and a large
majority of the white vote. The ma
jority of 40, 900 claimed for Jones, the
straight out Democratic candidate,
is dwindling toward $1,000, and in
some reports to 10000, and seems to
have been obtained in the cities and in
the black belt where the Kolbites claim
the grossest election frauds have been
perpetrated.
THE TIMES earnestly hopes that no
such charges of fraud can be truthfully
laid against the Democratic managers
in Alabama. Particularly unfortunate
would it be If it were shown that they
had used the negro vote to encompass
the defeat Of the majority of the white
voters of the State. 1t is only fair to
wait until all the returns are in and the
whole story is told.

really effective Indian policy.
The government is protecting
and supporting the various tribes,
and each one OF them has its own
laws and officers, and prolongs the
semblance Of its former strength
and glory in way that is utterly
inconsistent with its present state
OF decay and dependence. If the
tribal relations were dissolved the
tribal sense of haughtiness and
prejudice would soon disappear,
and the influence Of education and
association would have far bet
ter chance of success. II is easy
TO understand that satisfactory re.
suits cannot be expected where
the indians are permitted TO re-
tain all of their peculiar forms,
ceremonies and regulations. They
are certain to give preference of re-
spect and obedience to their own
governmental agents and appli.
ances, and that inspires a danger.
Gus attitude on their part. as we'll
as continual obstruction to the
work of teaching them the lessons
of industry and morality. The
Indian wars have their origin
mostly in the blunder Of humoring
this tribal sovereignty, and help.
ing the chiefs TO maintain their
authority. These leading men of
the different tribes are all enemies
of the policy of civilization, and
would like to see il fail. They
keep alive the warlike instinct of
the race, and do all they can to
discourage the adoption of the art
OF peace. 1t is to the interest of
the government as well as to the
Indians that these scheming and
mischevious individuals should
be deprived of their power, and
the only way to reach the results
is to abolish the tribal relation,
and let the laws of the United
States have direct and complete
sway over all the tribes and res
ervations.

"A MAN FOR A. THAT

There Is hardly anything more
disgusting than to see a man, be-
cause he happenito have small
amount Of Indian blood in his
veins, giving vent to a great
amount of spite and venom against
non-citizens in general, without
any sufficient provocation. Nom
citizens that are legally residing
amongst us deserve better treat
ment. There will never be a time
when we will not have permitted
white men in this country, nor do
we want to see such time. The
man who comes into the country
as a permitted laborer should be
treated with due courtesy. The
simple fact that a man is a citizen.
while it gives certain rights, does
not make one man any better than
another, neither does the posses
sion of Indian blood change the
cordition in the least so far as
principle is concerned Men do
not breathe their principles with
the air, nor drink them with the
water, nor get them from any par
ticular strain of blood, but they are
innate, rather. The line between
the white and Indian race is more
imaginary than real. The two
currents have ever blended, and we
must say the Indian has not lost
by the amalgamation. The whole
world now admits the old Jeffer.
sonian doctrine that call men were
created equal, " and that though a
man be white, red or black, be is
