rate is continued the total imports for the
year will be nearly 500, 100000 greater
than last year, and bring the total
close up to $1,000, OO0.000. In 1879
when specie payments were resumed,
the total imports were S513, 900, 600.
There has been no corresponding increase
in population. The conclusion is therefore
that the habits of the people have be-
come correspondingly ex;ravagant. There
has been q general increase in the rate OF
wages in the last fourteen years, and conse-
quently larger proportion of our people
indulge in foreign Injuries. 1t might be
well to revise the tariff on the lines sug-
gested by existing facts rather than on those
drawn from conditions which no longer

IN FAVOR OF ANNEXATION.

Ex-Governor Ormsbee of Vermont, who
has just resigned his position as United
States Land Commissioner at Samoa. called
at the Hawaiian Islands en- route home and
took brief survey of the political situa-
ton. He thinks that the people of Hawaii
desire annexation to the United States, hut
admits that the ex-Queen has formed party
favorable 10 the English. There is some
danger that Commissioner Blount Will drift
into English circles. His mission is to
ascertain If the Provisional Government
fairly represented the people. He will
naturally. therefore. seek information in
circles not especially friendly to the Pro-
yisiOnal Government. But Mr.. Blount had
the reputation in Congress OF being man
of good sense. fairly well reconstructed.
1t is much to be hoped that he will not make
trouble for both parties by adopting the
English view of things.

AT A DISCOUNT.

PugilSm is at . discount 10 all the cities
of the East. There have been no bids for
the Corbett-Mitchell match on the terms
the principals had invited. The two princi-
pals are now likely to do what others have
done before-take what they can get. They
thought that a match between them was
worth S75CG0 to club. but in this opinion
the clubs do not seem to agree with them.
The pugilistic craze had its run in Sullivan,
who was regarded as about the best example
of what nature could DO in a muscular way.
Probably Suliyau's physical superiority
was exaggerated, but there was no one who
could establish the fact until exeesses had
sapped his strength. Corbett doubtless won
the championship fairly. but it does not
follow that he could have won it from Sulll-
van at 26. Usually when a craze Of this
kind eliminates it goes all to pieces in a
short time.

UNDER this caption the New Orleans
P1cayune OF recent date has an editorial,
entirely unsolicited and so appreciatiye
OF the work and advantages Of Roanoke
College, that we take pleasure in pre-
senting it to our readers, who will be
gratified, we are sure, at this deserved
recognition Of Roanoke by one OF the
leading journals of the South. The

cor ling to the showing Of the catalogue
Of it's fortieth session, 1S92-'93, Just in
hand, is as useful and healthy an insti-
tuition Of learning as the South pos.
sesses. Though without State aid, and
without available endowment until
1883, the college has made substantial
progress, and is Offering excellent ad-
vantages to the student 1t is charm
ingly situated among the beautiful Vir-
ginia mountains, and is we'll equipped
with good faculty and all the neces-
sary apparatus, to which perfectly ap-
pointed gymnasium is to be added. The
terms OF tuition and board are very rea-
sonable, and as the attendance is not
very large, the students have the great
advantage of that personal attention
from the Nom bers of the faculty which
the great numbers at tho larger institu-
tions makes absolutely impossible The
list OF alumni en- bracej in the catalogue
shows that the graduates of this insti,u-
tion take high rank in the learned pro-
LESSONS, and the several Louisiana men
among them do not hold the lowest
places"

The most clover and original ideas in
advertising which have been introduced
by retail dealer to catch tho attention
OF local trade are those submitted by
q lkeson S Child. OF Roanoke, Va.
They exploit this catch phrase, IF
there's anything new under the sun we
have it," and their dodgers, circulars,
etc are we'll written, nicely set up and
carefully printed.
The above paragraph WAS clipped
from the last issue of the New York
Haberdasher, which is the leading
journal devoted to this trade in the
country.
Gilkeson & Child are among the
most progressive advertisers and pro-
gressive men in Roanoke or in the
country They understand the business
they are conducting and have as fine
and carefully selected stock of goods
as was ever displayed in the South,
which they sell to suit the times. Their
show windows are models of artistic
taste.

FINANCE AND COMMERCE.
New York Stock Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 23.-The stock
market was extremely dull throughout
tho day. The transactions dwindled
down to an unusually small total Of
10000 shares and very little disposition
to trade was manifested in any direc.
ton. The room operators were bearish
and, with the aid of rumors that the
General Electric Company was about to
be placed in the hands of the receivers
and the circulation of stories affecting
the solvency of Wall street firm, man
aged to depress the general list d to
2A per cent. Chicago Gas led the down
ward movement. The stock sold down
from 501s to 4S1s. The lowest quota
tions OF the day were touched shortly
before the close, Notwithstanding tho
fact that tho unfavorable rumors re-
ferred to failed to materalize.
Toe decline had little significance
owing to the paucity of business Tho
decline in premiums on currency and
gold and further reduction in sterling
exchange exerted only j passing in
tluence for the reason that Wall Street
is looking only to the repeal OF the
Sherman silver law for relief. The
final transactions were at recovery of
4 to q from the lowest and specula-
ton left off steadirr in tone. Sub
