RoANoKE, VA, April 90, 1894.
COME TO TUE SCRATCH To.N1GHr.

The call of Chairman Johnston of the
committee appointed at a we'll attended
mass meeting of citizens on March 10,
to consider the proposed exposition Of
the resources and productions of South
west Virg mia, should be responded to
by every public spirited and enterpris-
ing citizen in Roanoke. The committee
has so we'll attended to its work that it
will be prepared to report tonight Just
what course is to be pursued to carry
out the scheme to q complete success.
The consummationo Of these plans will de.
pond upon the manner in which this re-
port and suggestions are received.
Since the meeting held on March 10,
in acting upon suggestions nc ade at that
time, q general mass-meeting of repre-
sentative citizens in Southwest Virginia
has been called and held / was at.
tended by smaller number OF delegates
than it was hoped to bring together, yet
there were present good sized number
Of prominent people Of this section, who
came with the idea that Roanoke meant
business in this matter, and nearly
everyone there seemed willing to stand
by and aid in pushing through a scheme
which il was generally realized would
largely aid in the attraction of new
capital and new people to this favored
locality.
To-night's meeting will show whether
Roanoke did mean business when that
call was issued; whether our citizens
are to toe the mark on the plan laid
down at that time or whether they are
to allow the scheme 10 slip through
altogether for lack OF little concen-
trAted work.
THE TINES can view the situation in
no other light than that Roanoke citi-
zens, once having made a move in this
direction, must retain the confidence
reposed in them by the good people Of
the surrounding country, and as the
saying is come to the scratch" upon
this occasion.
We hope to be able to report large
and enthusiastic meeting at the Hus-
tings Courtroom tonight.

SPRINKLE THE STREETS.

Yesterdays wind storm very strongly
reminded the citizens of Roanoke that
some measure must be taken at once to
guard against the temperance of such
binding clouds OF dust as filled the air
In the business portion of the city dur
ing the afternoon. One OF the disad-
vantages OF the use of water meters Is
that they check the use Of water in
sprinkling the streets and sidewalks in
front OF the business and resident prop
critics, and the dust accumulates upon
the streets ready to be blown about st
will by the slightest breezes.
Few storekeepers care to paw the
extra three or four dollars per month,
which the water would cost to even
dampen the streets in front of their
places of business. but they do not
realize, perhaps, that they often lose
money by not taking these precautions
as such storms as yesterday drive Gus.
toners from the streets and cause in.
jury to goods.
The remedy is simple. Let every
storekeePer and business man subscribe
few cents per week to common fund
put the money into competent hands ant
sprinkle the streets we'll Doubtless the
Gas and Water Company would make s
concession in the water rates for the
purpose, and every merchants trade
would be better on windy days.

There has been feeling among
democrats of this congressional dis
trict that Notwithstanding the posi-
tion and utterances of Judge Bell, he
was really at heart democrat, and
was for manifest reasons only mas
querading as a populist. But the
correspondence relating to a joint de-
bate between he and x-Senator
Bowen has thoroughly dispelIed the
illusion, and has shown conclusively
that he has burned the bridges be-
hind him and cast his lot wholly with
populism. Charles Conant, chair
man of the populist congressional
committee, in his letter arranging for
the discussion, says: "In this debate
you must understand the parties are
to discuss national issues, Mr.. Bell to
take his position on the Omaha plat
form, as understood and interpreted
by his party leaders and press, and
upheld by his party in the present
congress-" After this declaration
there is no question where Mr.. Bell
stands. Since the publication of
the above, democrats from all over
the district are openly abandoning
him, and announcing their intention
to support his opponent.

The date he has been unable to

Governor Waite will be over
whelmingly beaten. This is no
longer conjecture. 1t has been
demonstrated by figures carefully
gathered from every county in the

state are anxious to place their mon
ey on the proposition. There are
thousands of dollars in Denver,
Pueblo and Colorado Springs that
are being offered with no takers. If
there is any one in the valley who
feels disposed to risk his dollars on
Waite, we advise him to delay until
next week, when he can get odds of
two to one.

For gall the Sparks statement that
their party had redeemed the pledges
of last fall takes the cake, plate and
table. In the first place their plat
form pledged them to a "businesslike
and economical administration of
county affairs" The bridge contract
makes the first pledge ridiculous and
the % per cent increase in county
taxes shows the second pledge to be
hypocritical. Besides this what do the
ninty odd voters, who were promised
either road overseer or janitor, think
of their method of '.redeeming
pledges"
