ROANOKE TEN YEARS AGO.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMEs-On
seeing a report of the proposed cele-
bration Of tho first decade of the CITY
of Roanoke calls to mind the nth of June,
1882. when q delegation of stockhold-
ers of the Norfolk and Western rail.
road came to Big Lick to view their
newly purchased property. They ar,
rived in the evening by private car
which was set on the siding near the
Neal House. Just after lamplight
several of them appeared on the east
platform of the car and DR.. Frank Sor-
rell mounted box car standing on the
opposite side of Com merce street cross
ing and said:
Gentlemen: In behalf the citizens
OF this place and the State OF Virginia,
l welcome you anong us and would say
that your newly purchased property
traverses country rich in mineral,
timber and blue grass and that we have
lands to offer you for development
Hoping that you will bring energy and
capital with you, and that you may
soon see the effects of your labor, whic b
will be beneficial to all concerned" to
which one of tho delegation replied
and then turned around and asked
some of his associates "if he had spoke
his piece right"
~ 10 surprising 10 even tnOSe VINO were
citizens of that day to look over the
hundreds of acres that were then COW
cred with waving grain and lowing cat
tie, and now see the large industries
and thousands of beautiful and happy
homes that have been erected thereon
In ten years. Rome, UPON her seven
hills. has hardly surpassed the strides
that Roanoke has made in her first de-
cade.
1t is to be hoped that nothing may &C.
cur to mar the happiness of anyone
during the celebration and that all may
pass off pleasantly, and that every one
who comes and every citizen may feel
better for having spent day in re-
joicing and thanksgiving for the peace
and prosperity that we have enjoyed
and that the good work may 60 on and
unborn generations may still keep up
the improvement for years to come.

Ocean View Hotel.


OCEAN VIEW, Va, June 9.-[Special |
Tho Ocean View Hotel will this year
become more popular than ever under
the management Of Mr.. James l.. Will
liams, the well known hotel manager.
1t was opened June LIST under moro favor
able circumstances than ever before
Visitors who went down yesterday even
ing for breath Of cool air and a good
supper were agreeably surprised in
every way. They not ONLY got a much
more pleasant breeze than they ex-
pected, but the supper was all that any
hrst-class watering place could give it's
visitors.
Many improvements have been made
since last year, making the resort more
attractive in all respects. Everything
around the hotel impresses you as first
class. The dining room, with shining
floors, bright chandeliers. the tables,
with spotless linen and good walters, is
very inviting. A band dispenses agree
able music for the people. A track has
been built up by the left hand side of
the hotel for excursion parties, SO that
the regular visitors at the hotel may
not be disturbed by the crowds.
One great advantage which Ocean
View has over some resorts is the scarc-
ity of mosquitoes. Beyond all ques-
ton this summer resort bids fair to take
it's place in the front ranks with the
best INSTITUTE tons Of this kind. Mr.. Will
llams and his assistants, Messrs. Doyle
and La Faucheur. are courteous gentle
men and will add to the good standing
Of the resort

bridge and on other streets where rails
are being laid the work is progressing
rapidly.

ODD TRICKS OF MONKEYS.
They Keep Up the Interest OF Those Who
Care for Them.

They Keep Up the Interest OF Those Who
Care for Them.
"We lose interest in nearly all the an
lmals," said the keeper to New York
Tribune man, latter we have had them
awhile, except in the monkeys. The
Oldest keeper in the show will stop now
and then to laugh at their antics
They're always inventing new tricks to
play on one another. Their intelli-
gence is wonderful and they show traces
of conscience now and then. That big
ape by himself over there came to Mr..
Barnum with story which I have no
doubt is true. He was trained when we
got him to do certain tricks by wan
dering peddler who owned him in the
east The ape is an expert thief and
one day he was going through his antics
in a bazar where u fruit merchant had
bag of dates open on the ground. The
ape wanted some of those dates He
was too shy to look at them, but in his
tulnblings he worked over toward
them Pretty soon he got into a posi-
ton where the bag was between him
and the merchant, who was squattinp
cross-legged on mat upon the ground.
With leap the ape cleared the bag and
came down between it and the mer-
chant, close to the latter's face. Then
he began to NOW and mouth and scream
at the man, showing his formidabl
teeth, staring him out of couutenance,
and making as if to attack him
The merchant was so astonishcd
that he did not notice the ape help
ing himself to dates with his hind
hands; apes are not four-footed, you
know, they are quadrumana, four
handed. Having taken all he could
hold. the ape quickly turned his back
on the merchant, stuffed the dates into
his mouth, and was off in iiffy. The
crowd saw the theft and enjoyed it, and
when they told the merchant he was so
struck with the brute's cleverness that
he showed no resentment. The ape,
however, had got only yard or so away
in the crowd, when boy, out of pure
mischief, struck him with whip from
behind. The ape turned about like a
flash, dashed between the very legs OF
the boy who had struck him, passed
two or three others without looking at
them, and flew at the unoffending mer-
chant, biting him two or three times
before he could be restrained. The old
thief had conscience enough to know
that he had done wrong, and as soon as
he felt the blow he took it for granted
that the man he had robbed was begin
ming to give him the drubbing he knew
he deserved. Some of our monkeys are
very fond of being petted and admired
and others are not" continued the
keeper. 'That little one over there is
as vain as any woman, and curious
thing in connection with her is tina;
her vanity makes her a poor mother
The last liter she had we took away
from her; former one she killed by
neglect, after sho had hurt two OF
three of them badly by holding them
out to visitors to be strolxed and petted
also. and, in SO doing, pressed them too
hard against the bars of her cage. She
thought hoi' babies more lovely than all
the rest, probably, and she wanted
them to get some of the admiration and
attention which she enjoyed so much
herself"

THE TIN PLATE QUESTION IN BRIEF.

We Pay 81 200, 900 a Year for a Home
Market Worth 1000.
The so called Mckinley bill increased
the protective" tax by II cents pound
upon importations of tin plate, in order
to 'sencourage' the manufacture in this
country Of al article not before made
here, but of which we used 100000, 900
pounds annually This raised the price
to American consumers by about two
cents pound, a total of $15,O0O,0 a
year, solely to help a few already
wealthy men to manufacture tin plate
at a profit. Expensive 'sprotection"
that, especially as only about 300 men
have as yet found employment in the tin
manufacturers establishments.
An essential part of the protection"
theory is that protective tariff creates
new home markets for farm products.
Query: Has the $50, 100000 paid by the
country in the two years of the opera
ton of the act been fair price for the
creation of the new "home market" for
farm products in the homes of these 300
employees of the sheet tin works, who
would use perhaps $4,000 worth in a
year? Does the increase in the cost of
canned fruits, meats and vegetables tend
to increase the consumption of these
manufactured farm products? If, as
claimed, the foreigner pays the tariff
tax, why the law which caused the
United States recently to repay to the
$25, 100000 Standard Oil company over
1900, 900 of taxes paid by it on tin plate
used in cans for exporting oil to other
countries?-Rural New Yorker.

The Case Plainly Stated.

The government has the right to levy
taxes for the support of the nation, but
not to favor individuals at the cost of
the masses. Such favoritism has been
shown to individuals for the benefit of
small minority, and this minority has
corrupted our entire public life in order
to keep the Republican party at the helm.
This outrage must and will be rem
edied through the Democratic party.
The tariff must be denuded of its mo-
nopolistic character. Reasonable duties
will remain. Free trade is bugaboo
that the Republicans have called up in
order to frighten the people with belief
that the industries of the country are en-
dangered. Tariff revision is possible
without any such danger. The laboring
man and the farmer derive nothing from
the high duties except an increased cost
of the articles of their daily consump-
ton. Their interest lies in the direction
of tariff reform.-New York Stats
Zeitung.

NUMBER II.

be discharged uncontaminated by our
bribes, and influenced only by what his
conscience tells him is his duty. Let
us withdraw the Quays and the Dudleys,
the Martins and the Hacketts, and if
our "surplus wealth" troubles us let us
give it, not to them, but to some one or
moro of the thousand almoners Of
Christian charity which meet us at
every turn and whose needs are SO infin-
itely greater than their resources.
In this struggle for better admins
tration of the government; in this strug-
gle for higher and purer politics, let us
always remember that in every good
cause the disappointments of yesterday
are but the precursors of the triumphs Of
tomorrow, and that the divine purpose
with which human history is radiant
will not be set aside either by the con-
trivances or the wickedness Of men, but
that year by year, generation by gen.
Grafton, humanity will move forward
from one vantage ground to another,
throwing off one fetter after another,
gathering to itself one virtue after an
other, until the final consummation is
attained.
And SO it will be with this great and
free country, whose discovery we are
all now celebrating with songs of thanks
giving and with prayers of praise. It,
too, if not in 1888, then In 1892, will re-
verse its false economic system, whereby
more is given to those who have and
from those who have not is taken away
that which they have, and thus help to
bring men closer and closer toward that
equality which is the dream of human
brotherhood. With our faces, therefore,
turned from the setting to the rising
sun, with our hearts more hopeful than
ever, we may discern the growing as
tendency of the ethical spirit which is
to sway the coming age, and if not fully
for ourselves, and if not fully for our
children, then let us hope for our chill
dren's children this republic of Amer
lean democracy, the last and best gift
of time, will be redeemed, regenerated,
disenthralled and secured in social order
by social justice as in the republic Of
God.

A Great Church Fair.

A most successful church fair closed
at Monroe on Wednesday of last week.
The object was to raise money to
build a parsonage for st. Victor's
Catholic church of which Rev. Father
Dempsey is pastor. The fair was held
under the auspices of the ladies Of the
congregation and lasted one week.
The sum of $547 was realized on a
contest for gold watch, and $500
from a contest for gold headed cane.
There were political days for the
Democratic, Republican and Peoples
parties, respectively: Congressman
Clinton Babbitt and Hon. J. NJ.
Clancy represented the Democrats, and
Hon. H. A. Taylor and another speak
er the Republicans; and flag was
awarded to the Democrats for bring
ing in the largest receipts. The total
receipts amounted to S2050, which
netted $1,000.
