The Agitation of Another Railroad.

ticed where that gigantic corporation,
town builder and public benefactor has
ever made any such statement.
Ii is tho opinion OF the writer that a
competing railroad built into this city
would increase their business moro than
it would decrease it. The Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company have been a
very successful corporation; they have
made success of everything tbs Y have
touched. The word of their officials is
respected in private and city matters
with the same great successful respect
as it is in their individual corporation.
They have built towns and cities from
Norfolk 10 Bristol, and we of course
have every reason to believe from the
present state of things that these cities
ana towns are built pro bono publico
We are sure that the company in
tended this town building as q philan-
throEic matter, and not one OF personal
revenue. These towns being built by
this nonpaieil organization they inherit
tho progression of their preceptor in
every thing from business proposition
to the minutest point OF municipal gov.

For instance see tho great God.like
blessing and business success that has
lowered around our proud little city
since her several officials signed petit
ton for local option and with the same
great success this public benefactor has
risen; with the same success we are
blessed by the giving Of the citizens of
Roanoke on the day Of the election a
dry bath.
In tho agitation Of another railroad
our citizens should be very careful as it

aquatic element whose dampness might

easy, tramp not upon the toes of our
Creator who dictates freight rates and

The Virginia College Pupils Win Fresh
Laurels by Their Very Excellent Work.

given in the afternoon and evening OF
yesterday at the Virginia College. The

ing, many not being able to secure

carried out, but it's variety, the careful
selection of the numbers, and their
excellent rendition, held tho interest of
the audience to tho very end. Each

touches of harmony, while the choruses
by the school were very we'll rendered.
The serenade by Miss Ball and piano
solo by Miss Hall were especially ap-
preciated.

Man We'll Qualified Tor the NIayoraltx

Councilman McClelland Suggested IA II
Man Well Qualified Tor the Mayoralty
To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES: The
time is close at hand when the people
CT Roanoke will engage in contest
over the election of men to fill the
municipal offices. Naturally tho office
of mayor or chief magistrate is looked
upon with the most concern, for in that
position the people we'll know it is their
duty to place man who will reflect
back their honor and integrity. Several
candidates have been mentioned, sew
eral have been urged forward by their
friends, and some have already an
nounced their intention of entering the
field.
Either of the gentlemon who have
been so mentioned would make a good
mayor, and would perhaps be an honor
to the nun 'cipality; but at time when
tho city needs wise counsel, sterling
integrity, strict economy, conservative
views and an unswerving determ ination
for achieving the greatest good for the
greatest number from its chief oxecu-
tive, what man is there who is better
qualified than Mr.. R. McClelland?
Mr. McClelland has been in the Coun-
ellis OF the city for more than two years
with the most trying questions concern
ing the conduct Of the municipal gov
eminent. No man is moro honorable
in regard to pubic trust, and no an
looks upon his fellow-men with moro
conservative views, and no man is freer
from fanaticism and petty side issues
than he, and yet none have strcter
regard for honor. integrity and upright
conduct.
Mr.. McClellsnd knows the needs of
Roanoke. He. as chairman of the
finance committee, has labored assidu-
ously for the good credit Of the city
and has spared no pains to suggest and
urge economy. His iudg is sound
on all questions involving the welfare
Of the community. He is a practical
man, we'll endowed with all the quail.
ties pertaining to a 6rst-class business
training, and would mako a mayor in
which the people of Roanoke could con-
iide their most sacred interests.
Should he consent TO become a candi-
date for the mayoralty am sure the
people will rally to his support and
show just appreciation of his valuable
services. SECOND WARD.

THE WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

Tho rade reviews for the past week
do not indicate so much improvement
in the business world as was to be ex.
pected by last weeks reports. What
increase that is noticeable comes from
the South, the weekly summary of new
enterprises started up, shown by the
Manufacturers Record, being an ex
ceedngly interesting one. Of the gem
eral condition throughout the country
Dun's review says:
Improvement in business still ap-
pears in many directions but it seems
to be in part balanced by loss In others.
The gradual gain which began some
time ago, and was strengthened little
by the success Of the Treasury loan, has
scarcely answered expectation. Re
ports of resumption of work continue to
Indicate that the industries are doing
more than in December, and yet the
record OF their actual gain is disappoint-
ingly small.
''The marked increase which appears
in offerings of commercial paper has
almost wholly ceased and the accumu-
lation OF unemployed funds continues
SO that Endorsed paper has been taken
at 2M per cent. The bond operation
has not advanced stocks nor stimulated
speculation and the lowest price ever
known for wheat has been recorded.
doubtless the uncertainty which re-
mains, with the tariff bill yet in the
Senate and currency measures Of i'm b.
portance pending in the House, has
some hindering influence, but there is
still seen an increase in demand for
many kinds of goods by the exhaustion
OF stock in the hands of the dealers by a
consumption which, though less than
usual, is nevertheless greater than any
other country"
