A Diplomatic Incident Closed.

ly Unsuitable ambition to represent his
country abroad and he WINS deliberately
selected by the President as Ambassa
dor to Italy, position for which he
was fully fitted-at least according to
our accepted diplomatic standards-by
character, education and ability.
Suddenly and unexpectedly there
opened upon him one of the most extra
ordinary and unjustifiable campaigns of
American journalism. He could not re-
tire then, without seeming to acknowl-
edge that the accusations not only
against him but against the Administra-
ton were true, and the President could
not with self respect, withdraw his nom-
ination. 1t was duly considered in the
Senate and duly confirmed and Mr.. Van
Aliens detractors seemed discounted.
But he felt, as gentleman must, that
he could not rightly represent the coun>
upon him. His honor was more valua-
BILE than the office And having receiv-
ed the commission he returns it to the
President in very dignified letter
which ought to make those who have
been pursuing him ashamed of them

THE PROPOSED RAILROAD.
It's Importance to the City of
Roanoke.
From the World.

From the w GRID
President r. H. Woodrum, of the Roa-
noke Railway Construction Company,
in conversion with representative of
the World, said subscriptions were com
ing in we'll to the proposed road, but that
number of men who could well afford
to assist the enterprise were holding
back at least temporarily. Said he;
every property ownerin the city should
subscribe, and not only every property
owner, but all who work for wages Or
salaries. The benefit which a compet-
ing. line of railroad would be to this
city cannot well be Overestimated, and
then it should be remembered that we
do not ask for cent of the subscription
until the road has been built and in OPP
Grafton. When the people of the city
consider this they should then inquire
of themselves, how much benefit the
road would be to them when completed
and subscribe accordingly.
Again, the road can be constructed
now more cheaply than at any time.
Men will work for IS cents a day and
take in payne emit tickets on the commits
sary, whereas, if the times were better
they would want at least 81. a day in
cash.. Then the contractors will bid
on the construction of the road on the
lowest margins possible in such times rs
these. Then the amount of money
which will be expended in this city
while the road is being built will add
largely to the volume of business to the
great benefit of all classes. We have
about four canvassers out for subscrip-
tions now and expect to add more to the
list in few days. A strong pull, a steady
pull, and a pull altogether will make
the road an assured Success. We will
begin work about the first of February
if the subscriptions justify it.
The proposed road will open upon new
source of trade, will reduce the price of
coal and give manufactures desiring to
locate here the advantages of competing
lines of railroad.

The Presidents Message.

President Cleveland Message to the
Fifty-third Congress has been long an
ticipated, and it will be read with I'M
usual interest. 1t was expected that g
would enter into the calculation OF
several important matters, and that
the reading of the document upon
the meeting of Congress would settle in
the public mind the status of number
of questions relating to national affairs
1t must be confessed that the docu-
ment is a little disappointing in this res
spect. for the Pesident has disclosed lit
orally nothing new in regard to Hawaii
has delivered no extended views upon
the tariff question and has contented
himself with covering vast array OF
subjects in very general manner.
The message opens with the declara-
ton that our foreign relations, while not
entirely, free from perplexity, present
no embarrassing situation which will
not yield to the spirit of fairness and the
T love of justice, and it is intimated that
commendable display of tirmness will

President Cleveland then proceeds to-
review the relations which exist be
tween this government and the several
foreign powers. A parag raph is devoted
to Geary law, in which the President
takes hopeful view in regard to the
extension of time necessary for the reg
istration of Chinese in this country, and
tho hope is expressed that the provls
ions of the law may be obeyed by the
Chinese who have taken up their abode
in America. That part of the message
which relates to foreign affairs is quite
long and goes into the subject exhaust
lively. 1t contains many items OF lnfor

readers, and the impression will be left
upon the rejecting citizens of the repub
lie that our nation is part and parcel O.
