The office of county judge is one Of

SANITARY MATTERS.

There is no good excuse for the fail
ure OF the city scavenger to obtain an
odorlogs excavator. One can be had in
week without trouble if he will send
for it. A prompt and energetic enforce
ment OF the law would settle that.
But IS il not time that the city under
took its own scavenger work? The
city has large farm which could be
made immensely productive and profit
able If handled with the knowledge Of
approved agricultural methods now in
uso. Scavenger work costs the citizens
of Roanoke not less than $50, 900 year,
so cents per capita. In Washington the
scayonger work costs only II cents per
capita. If done rightly here the cost
would not average over 40 cents per
capita. and could be made a source of
revonue and profit to the city.
The sanitary feature, however, is the
one most entitled to immediate consid-
GRAFTON. That odorless excavators
should be in use in the next thirty days,
The TINES proposes to keep that or
dnance fresh in the minds of the pub
lie, though it's non enforcement is ac-
com panied by much more disagreeable
reminders.
On top of all, letter published in
another column gives light to an un-
wholesome state OF affairs which needs
remodying at once.

GOVERNOR CARR's ADDRESS.

Governor Carr delivered the opening
address at the Colored State Fair last
week. We make the following extract:
Emancipated, l may say, without
warning, enfranchised without the
knowledge to appreciate the boon, pen
niless and homeless, you were lett to
heW out your destinies, and right we'll
have you done it. How well is in a
measure demonstrated by the exhibf
ton you have here today. Up to 1876,
the coming into power of the Demo
cratic administration in North Caro-
lima, not a public school was open to
your race in the State, to day you share
alike with the white all the benefits Of
the public schools. And my friends 1T
has given me great pleasure to know
that many of GU had the independence
during the last election to shake off Re
publican shackles and vote with your
best Fl lends, those who have given you
educational facilities where none ex-
listed under Republican rule, who are
educating the deaf, dumb and blind Of
your race, who are giving normal
school traInlnS to your teachers n
are now Completing an agricultural
and mechauI:,. al college for your young
men. That ' Uu are approaching and
availing yourselves of these advantages
and are being benz hDld thereby, | can
bear most cheerful testimony, having
visited, in person, all Of the cUlOrPd
State institutions during my lucunl
bency.

IT IS AN UNsRCT1oNAL FIGHT

1t is a fearful mistake that some
Populist speakers make when they as
sert that the prest Mt revolution is a
conflict between the West and South
on one side and the East on the other.
The conflict is not defined by geograph-
ical lines, says the level-headed editor
of the Pennsylvania Farmer.
1t knows no geographical division.
The fight is. between robbers and
wealth producers wherever they exist.
The m~illionaires of the Chicago wheat
pit and the pork and beef combine are
as soulless as the m~illionaires of New
York. Wealth producers suffer the
same in Maine as they do in Texas.
The trouble in the East is, that the peo-
pie still sleep, is that they have become
accustomed to read only such papers
as are edited by hirelingsof Wallstreet,
and consequently have not opened
their eyes to see the dangerous proba-
bility of a downfall of this glorious
republic. Populist newspapers in the
East are almost as scarce as teeth in a
hens mouth, while in the west the
country is full of them. The people
there have become so disguised with
hireling newspapers that they will not
give support to papers depending en-.
tirely upon Wall streets associated
press for their news. Hence Populist
newspapers are springing up every.
where and the people are learning the
truth. Those newspapers are con.
Quoted by fearless champions of right,
who, knowing the right, dare maintain
it, The patriotic spirit of the editors
spreads rapidly among the readers
The producers of wealth glow with en-
thusiasm over the entire West. MOI
until the people of the East can be in
duced to read the truth may we hope
for the liberation of wealth producers

MORE SILVER N

The RurGL New- Yorker is coming"
slowly though it be. A recent issue
says:
The Rural New- Yorker does not pre-
tend to be a political prophet. 1t has
good opportunities for watching the
signs of the times-psrticularly among
farmers. Three years ago we said that
rightly or wrongly the people wanted
a reform of some sort in the tariff; also
ina the Peoples party had come to
stay. With this many Of our Old
friends disagreed, but events proved
hat we were right. 1t now seems to
us that the demand for the increased
use of silver as money is increasing
every day among the farmers of the
country. This is stronger in the West
and South, but by no means entirely
confined to those sections. We do not
mean what is sometimes vaguely
named as free silver" but the in
creased use of the white metal at a
regularly defined ratio value with gold.

dependence, and one of the best coun
ties in the whole Union, is forging
ahead. Doubtless we will get full par
ticulars, but will also extract the fol
lowing from the Charlotte Observer to
show that both sides can give a COM
plimentary report:

days session at Sharon yesterday. 1t

meeting for the transaction of routine
business.

why it should. Many Sub Alliances

rotary of Garysburg Alliance, No. $40,

A GRAVE

The Sandy Hill, N. Y, Herald. a Re
publican high protection paper, says:
''Such prominent Democrats AS
Charles A. Dana, editor of the N. Y.
San, now admit that lowering the
tariff will necessarily lower the wages
of American workingmen. Now let
those smart aleck Democratic editors
who nave denied the fact, put this in
their pipes and smoke it."
The Herald evidently uses the above
to bolster up the of high tariff.
The whole secret is that Chas. A. Dana
is getting ready to render aid to plutoc-
racy. The Democratic party has prom
ised tariff reform. That would injure
the plutocrats and will not be done by
the present administration. The lead
ing Democratic organs are ready to
block any tariff legislation by declaring
that it will hurt the poor laborer."

AN SUIT.

An interesting suit is pending i'll
Wake Superior Court here this week
1t is an action brought by Mr.. w. S.
Barnes, Secretary of the State Alliance,
against Mr.. J. P. Kerr, postmaster of
Asheville, and late editor of the Citi
zen. Barnes sues Nh. Kerr for S., 600
damages on the charge of libel. The
ase grew out of some matters incident
to the campaign of 1890, in which Con
gresham Crawford subscribed to GER
tain Alliance demands. In 1892 it was
claimed hat he had subscribed to de
mands Which he denied, and upon the
proof being demanded a card was pro
duced with his name signed but con-
tanning propositions to which Mr.. Craw-
ford had not originally subscribed. Mr..
Crawford denounced it as fraudulent
and declared that Barnes, who had the
cards printed, had forged his name.
Nj. Kerr printed the entire matter in
the Citizen and now Mr.. Barnes sues
him for damages for libel -NeWS and
Observer, NOU. 1
[LATER.-Mr. Kerr was in Raleigh
last week. His counsel tried to have
the matter tn. own out of court, but
Judge Shuford Overruled the demurrer,
and the case will be trled.-ED.
