Although he has always been an ear
nest Democrat and his paperAlas ranked
high among the leading Democratic jour
nails of the country, Mr.. Quinby has
hitherto refused Office. He would prob
ably have found Office easy enough to
get, too, for he is one of the most popu-
lar men in the Wolverine State and has
long been personal friend of President
Cleveland, from whom he might have
had an attractive appointment in 1885 if
his inclinations had led him to accept it.
Mr.. Quinby is n native of Maine and
was born at Brewer Dec. II, 1885 He
is a graduate of the University of Michi-
gan and member of tho bar of that
state, though of course not in the active
practice Of his profession.

TRY THE TOWN COW.

There is natural tendency on the
part OF legislative bodies to WANT TO
legislate. IL makes no difference
Congressman, delegates or naughty
councilmen, no sooner do they wrap the
robes OF office about them than
tho itch for legislsting breaks out
and continues with virulence un-
til time and experience assuage
its crl ptive force. 1t is singular fact
thai q large majority of the bills intro
ducod into Congress come through the
hands OF Congressional lodgings who
are pm feathering in Washington for
the first and only time.
1t happens, in direct consequence,
that all great Legislative reforms come
il tho shape Of repeats OF existing laws
|; is equally true that the greatest evils
which mankind has inflicted upon
human beings have come in the form of
laws.
To come nome to Roanoke the city
fathers have through three or more ses-
sions struggled violently with law to
regulate the speed of steam and..electric
cars, and through the action OF, cooler
heads have at last lodged the measure
back in the hands of the ordinance COM
mittce.
When 0 out of 10 citizens want any
thing done Council will be prompt in
discovering that fact. When clear
N ajority are in favor of an ordinance
there is good reason for careful corr
sideration of the measure proposed.
But in tho present instance the measure
Which has now been RELOCATED to harm
less obscurity contains q number Of
features in whose support it would be
difficult to count one. fourth the public.
Until the supporters of the measure
can come forward with proof that peo-
pie nave been killed or injured at grade
crossings because of the excessive speed
OF engines or cars there is no sound
reason for attempting to regulate their
speed, The matter has not been agi-
tated and the public does not demand it
THE TILES would suggest to tne able
Councilman from the First ward whose
brilliant rejection places him two years
ahead OF the possible vengeance of the
moi polloi, that he let up on the destruc-
tive cowcatcher and tackle that Water
looloo Of municipal statesmen the de-
structive town COW. AS we utter that

THEODORE THOMAS.

Maestro.

His Long end Distinguished Career rs n
Maestro.
The recent squabbles in Chicago over
the question Of Theodore Thomas au-
thority as musical director of the Column
bian exposition revived general interest
i'll this distinguished musician. For
many years the name of Theodore Thorn
as has been familiar one all over the
country, and the work he has done for
the art to which his life has been devoted
has met with keen appreciation wherever
music lovers may be found. His position
in the musical world is unique. He is
not only Il master i'll the ordinary sense,
but dictator whose behests are willing
ly listened to by thousands whom he has
taught to appreciate what is best in
music. George William Curtis called
him ''the central figure of the musical
life of New York for a generation, the
laureate Of the past and the herald of the
future" and the man who can elicit such
praise from such source is not made of
common clay.

Mr.. Thomas has been so long identi-
fed with music in Ar%:rica and so prom
inent in movements distinctly American
that it is not generally remembered that
he is of German parentage and birth.
He was born at Essen in tho kingdom of
Hanover III 1885 and lived there until
he was 10 years of age, when he came
with his parents to America. His IA
ther was an accomplished violinist and
himself directed his sons musical edu-
cation. The boy played solos i'll public
when very young, and at the age of 10
years was first violin in the orchestra
that accompanied Jenny Lind on her
American tour, playing in the same po-
sition for Sontag two years later and
afterward for Grisi and Mario.
In 1855 he gave series OF chamber
concerts, and since then his doings are
sufficiently we'll known to need no de-
failing. His symphony concerts, begun
in 1864 and continued until 1878, and his
summer night concerts, begun in 1866
and kept up for several years, made him
a popular idol i'll New York, and that
he had not worn out his reputation there
was evident by the farewell dinner ten
dered to him upon his departure for Chi
cago to accept the musical dictatorship
of the big fair, at which many of New
York's best citizens assisted and George
William Curtis presided and used the
words quoted above

ANOTHER EDITOR SENT ABROAD.
0uinby of tho Detroit Free Press Made

Quinby of tho Detroit FREQ Press Made
Minister to Holland.
The salary of the United States minis
ter to The Netherlands is only 81 800
year, but that will probably not bother
William Emory Quinby, who succeeds
Samuel p. Thayer of Minnesota in that
position. Mr.. Quinby is the editor and
chief proprietor of the Detroit Free Press
and possesses ample means to properly
maintain tie social dignity of his post
abroad independently of his salary.
Mr.. Quinbys connection with The
Free Press began in 1861, when he ac-
cepted temporary position upon what
was then Il paper of small circulation
and merely local influence, though it
was upward of 30 years old. Mr.. Quin-
bys connection must have been pleasant,
for it soon became permanent and ulti-
mately very profitable. In 1868 he was
made managing editor and in 1872 be-
came its editor in chief and principal
owner, and under his administration the
circulation and influence of the paper
were widely extended. His literary
taste is of a superior quality, and he is
said to hold rigid views of the mission of
Journalism as IL public educator.

NEW YORK, Oct. l9.-The North

is at hand. 1t is difficult to fore
cast the result at present, but there
is evidence that warm support
has been extended to the Belmont
Ives committee in its campaign
to secure an Independent, anti-Nil-
lard board of directors. RumOrs of
a compromise made between the
managers and the Belmont COM
mittee have been circulated, but
they are understood to be without

Unquiet at the Agency.

WASHINGTON, Oct. l9.-Great
uneasiness is felt at the Pine Ridge
Indian agency on account of the
numerous renegade Indians from
other reservations, and it is be-
lieved that troops will have to be
called upon to suppress these law
less fellows. a report has
been made to this effect
by the Indian agent at Pine Ridge
to the commissioner of Indian
affair. The agent says that he has
been for some time trying to rid
the reservation of the lawless rene
gades, but has met with poor sue
cess. They are, he says, a source Of
constant danger. He also refers to
the sanitary arrangements of the
agency, which, he says, are bad in
the extreme, and unless arrange
ments are made for their improve
ment, he fears a pestilence may
break out.

Proceedings of Senate.

WAsHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. 49,
Senate. When the Senate met
this morning and entered upon its
Legislative day at ten o'clock, less
than dozen Senators were present.
Exactly half an hour was
consumed in securing a
quorum. The New York and
New Jersey bridge bill was laid
befare the Senate and referred to
committee on commerce. A re-
port from the finance committee
was presented and read, containing
communication from the treasury
department in response to a resOlu-
ton calling for information as to
the probabilities of deficiency in
the revenues of the government.
The committee report shows a
deficit for the first three months of
the present fiscal year of over - =
100000. This is at the rate of over
$S7 100000 for the year. 1t
shows actual expenditures during
the first three months of over
sos, 100000, or an average Of about
100000 a month. At the same
rate the expenditure for the year
would aggregate about $4,000, 900,
or about S2l, 100000 more than the
estimated expenses and would
show an increase of expenditures
over the supposed actual receipts
of a little over S77,00O,OOO. The
secretary says that a definite fore
cast for the whole year is impOs-
sible, but it is apparent that should
the present conditions continue,
the deficit at the end Of the year
would be about S50,00O,000.
Stewart then took the floor on
the motion to amend the journal
of Monday last so as to show the
presence of Hon. Teller when he
failed to answer to his name on
roll call. He argued that in the
midst of an exciting discussion
there was not time to change rules
Senate.
1t is - ported this morning that
papers are in circulation on both
sides of the Senate, to secure the
necessary number of pledges for
adoption of clOture, and Senator
Hill is reported to, have under
taken the task of getting the neces-
sary signatures from the Demo-
cratic repealcrs.
Senator Vest is making slow
progress in his effort to obtain the
necessary number Of signatures to
request Chairman German to
call a Democratic caucus. This
morning he had only sixteen
names to the paper. 1t is claimed
that the silver senators are some
what weaker, and the rcpealcrs
more confident, but at the present
writing nothing is certain but I'M
certainty.

Mr.. Lo. WIN Drink.

WASHINGTON, Oct 19.-The In
dian agent at Tulalip, Washington,
submitted his report to the Interior
Department. He says "IntoXica-
ton is the principle evil among
the Indians" The evil will
grow, he thinks, because
of a decision of the courts that
an Indian holding patent to land
is a citizen. He recommends on ac-
count of this that a law be passed
holding that when a patent is
given, it shall not confer citizen
ship upon an Indian.
