aOANoKE, VA, MARCH o, 1894.

THE tariff bill, after having received
the careful confederation for month
past of the Democratic members of the
Senate finance committee, has been re-
ported to the full com mittee. OF course
the Republicans will take several days
to look it over and then bring in re-
port in direct opposition to most OF the
features OF the present measure. From
Democratic standpoint the bill is an
improvement over the regular Wilson
measure as it passed the House.
Duties on many of the manufac-
tured goods have been lowered;
others have been raised; coal and iron
ore will retain a duty OF 40 cents per
ton. While, as we say. the bill is a
great improvement, we fear for its
ultimate passage in the Senate. Sew
eral OF the members of that body have
no more loyalty to thei- party and
country than they can spare, and upon
personal grounds may fight the measure
and bring about it's defeat. This result
is TO be deplored, for what the country
needs now most of all is some definite
settlement of the tariff question.

He Lost His Case.

"Judge Emerson, one of the most elo-
quent men Illinois ever produced, was
once taken down completely in speech
at Decatur" said e. +. Layman an at
torney of Chicago. HE had case in
which there were some peculiarly pa
thetic circumstances, the rights of
young girl whose property had been
squandered and who was reduced to des-
titution being involved. Judge Emerson
made the most of it, and as he closed his
speech solemn hush had fallen over the
courtroom.
clears stood in the eyes of the jurors.
and even the judge coughed sympathet-
ically and hid his head behind the trial
docket. His opponent, whose name 1
have now forgotten, saw that the spell
had to be broken in some way, or his case
was lost Arising slowly to his feet, and
in q voice of deep solemnity, and with
slow deliberation, he said, Gentlemen
of the jury, let us continue these solemn
exercises by singing the one hundred and
fifteenth psalm A roar Of laughter
followed from the audience, and Judge
Emerson lost his case"

A Little Learning.

We have been often told that "a little
learning is dangerous thing" and we
may be just as we'll assured that little
bread is not the safest of all things. 1t
would be far better to have plenty of
both, but the sophism Of those who use
this argument is that they represent the
choice between little and much, whereas
our election must be made between little
and none at all. If the choice is to be
made between small portion of infor-
nation or of food and absolute igno-
rance or starvation, common sense gives
its decision in the homely proverb, "Half
loaf is better than no bread. "-Ne>

The Real, Live Irish-American.

There arc three types OF Irishmen to
be seen on the stage, but in 1.-The Mill
ionaire" is presented the only one that
depicts the real, live Irish American.
The first type, and it is strong favor.
ite, Is tho knee breeches type, with his
sweet Irish colleen and his shillalsh l.,
with contingent william who wears
cone shaped hat and cringes when his
crime is mentioned. Thel there is the
second, the man of bulls and queer
breaks, the lrishman OF rough and ready
wit and knock about ways, that never
had any existence except in the mind of
the play writer, but who, by his rough
fun, has won place in the vaudeville
world. Until Daniel Sully gave 1.-The
Millionaire" to the stage there was no
other Irishman except as the servant.
The Irish American that Daniel Sully
brings to the front is no straw man that
has no place in the world, but the tire
less, witty, bright Irish American as he
is found in tho business world of to day.
1t is type new and bright. In it's col !.
oring it is true to life; in its conception
it Is strong and manly

LET THE EXPOSITION BE HELD.

BY all means Roanoke should hold
next fall and each succeeding year or
series OF years grand industrial ex-
position. The advantages which are
possessed by this city for holding such
an affair and the benefits to be derived
by Roanoke and the surrounding country
were elaborated upon yesterday, and
are Complementary treated OF to day
by THE TINES Salem representative,
who has had much experience in ex-
positions similar in nature to the one
proposed.
Aside from the pecuniary advantages
directly dependent upon the holding of
big exposition, the energy and enter.
prise which are necessarily displayed in
starting and successfully operating such
an affair will figure prominently in
drawing the attention of capitalists
seeking investment to this section. 1t
may be mentioned in this connection
that representatives. OF prominent
trust company who were here yesterday
looking over the ground for investments,
tors of the company copies of yesterdays
TIMES containing the article mentioning
the proposed plan.
1t is reasonable to suppose that these
capitalists will be impressed at once
with the energy and enterprise which
such undertakings are prerequisites,
and understanding that men of such
calibre as will cope with such schemes
are the men which compose our inhabi-
tants then they will have no hesitnacy
in placing their money on good security
at our disposal.
We do not wish to see a good deal of
talk and no action in this matter. We
have reason to suppose that IL such
steps as outlined are taken the project
will be carried through to success
Roanoke remains today monument to
accomplishment. It's citizens can rear
another column by tackling such a task
as is now proposed.

A Vigorous Protest at tho Work of the
Street Sweeper.

Street Sweeper.
To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: In the
name of long suffering people wish
to make most vigorous kick against
one of the most unmitigated nuisances
of our town. refer to the use OF the
street sweeper without first thoroughly
sprinkling the streets.
About IL o'clock each night Salon
avenue is rival to an African desert
during q simeon. The street sweeper
is getting in it's work, and the unfortu-
nate occupants Of the rooms over the
stores are getting in their swearing. 1t
is impossible to walk the street for the
dense aust, which raises in dense clouds,
filthy street dust which, If there is any
thing in the germ theory our physicians
preach of, must spread disease OF all
kinds to the unfortunate people who
believe in ventilation and leave their
windows open.
All this could be easily remedied at
very small expense and with very little
trouble and hope THE TIMES will give
us it's aid in getting this nuisance
abated. 1t was the custom to have the
street sprinkled before using the
sweeper until about month ago, but
for some reason it has been discontinued,
why, no one seems able to say.

The Londonderry sifter. (South Londonderry, Vt.) 1883-19??, 1894-03-16

A Washington special says: Sen
ator Hill will make his great fight
against the Wilson bill on the income
tax proposition. The bill he regards
as defective in many respects and de-
structive of American industries, but
the income tax be holds to be utterly
abhorrent to all principles of sound
financial legislation, unjust in opera
tion and vicious in principle. The
New York senator has been studying
the question with great care for weeks
and he has discovered many things in
regard to the, operation of theIaw as
proposed by the Wilson bill which
will make tremendously strong in
dictment when he comes to make his
assault in the Senate.
The point upon which Senator Hill
will dwell especially is that the in.
1
come tax combined with the corpora.
| tion tax is even more vicious 10 oper.
alton than either would be alone. He
has gathered statistics from every
conceivable quarter. to show this, anc
the showing he intends to make will
be believes, be unanswered. The
corporation tax will fall not on the
corporations themselves in the end
but ON the people in moderate cir.
cumstances who derive their sole
modest incomes from the dividends
declared by the corporations in whicl
they happen to hold stock. Not only
this, but any person who happens tt
have an income of $4,000 or more will
be compelled to pay double tax
one on every dollar of income that ht
receives from corporation stock.

In reference to the Breckenridge
Pollard suit it is said, from the indicat-

gressmen. Breckenridge in defence will
attempt to prove that Madeline Pol
lard was bad woman when he first
met her; that she was bad during the
year he lived with her as his mistress:
that she was bad when he left her, and
that his promises of marriage were
made under duress because he feared
she would kill him. The friends Of
Breckenridge say that this will be his
defence.
B5lf SO, it will be merely plea in nit
igation of damages. No attempt is ap-
Parently to be made to deny that this
distinguished Kentucky Congressman,
leading lay member of the Presby-
terrain Church, lecturer to young men
on social purity and all the rest, had
this woman as his mistress for period
Of years (his wife then living) and in
troduced her into society, to his grown
daughters and to his friends. When
Breckenridge first met her she was q
girl of Is at boarding school, and he a
man 80 years her senior.
