other means, they say. will be resorted

ing the miners at Pocshonsas to join
them, as they confidently predict that
they will, all the operatives in the Flat
Top Coal region will be out, and the
question will then become one of en-
dursDce, unless there are breaches of
the peace, in which case the military
will interfere to preserve order. On
she other hand should the miners now
at work refuse, with the protect ton
promised them by the presence of State
troops, to join in the strike Its success
will then become more uncertain.
What the strikers will do in that event
Is not known; but 1t Is evidently the
intention of the State authorities in
ordering out the volunteers. to prevent
as far as possible the success Of all
attempts to coerce the men still at work
at the Pocahontas mines. As to the
merits of the controversy between the
miners and their employers, and between
the coal operators and the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company, it is impos
sible at this stage of the proceedings to
pass judgment. Each side has given
its version of the matter in dispute
and all seem determined in their pur-
poses. II is hopsd, however, that rea
son and moderation vii prevail and
that in the end q satisfactory and per-
manent adjustment of existing disa-
greemeuts will be arrived at without
the loss of q single life or the destruc-
ton of any property.
In ordering out the State troops,
Governor O'Ferrall shows determlna-
ton to preserve the peace at all hazards,
and it is said that the governor Of
West Virginia and he have thorough
erstsnd!ng in this matter. At all
events, 1t Is hoped that the laws will
not be broken, and shat there will soon
be peaceful settlement of the mining
troubles, which so seriously threaten
the business interests OF this section.

A Singular Fact.

Ever since the present executive man
sion in Richmond has been occupied by
the governors of Virginia it is said that
but two children have been born within
It's celebrated walls. The mother of
one was Mrs. John Letcher; of the
other Mrs. Fitzhugh Lee. The first
was named Virginia Lee Letcher, after
the State and General Robert E. Lee
the other Virginia, after the State. 1t
is curious fact, too. that these two his
toric characters are now living in the
same observation-disclosures door to
each other.-Staunton Spectator.

THE ROANOKE CONFERENCE.

The Democratic conference In this
city on the 18th Of this month, bids
fair to be very large and representa-
tive gathering. Letters received by
the committee here and comments Of
Democratic papers all over the State
matters to be discussed, and whether 1t
is decided to take issue for the calling
of constitu ional convention at an
early date, or determined to delay the
matter for time, the conference can.
not fsil to accomplish much good The
discussions that will arise, and the ad
dresses to be delivered will be pub
lished at length, and the public will
thereby be greatly enlightened as to
existing Ineeds of the State govern
ment and the abuses which have crept
into it under the Underwood constitus
ton.
This miserable abortion and travestY
upon justice which was created when
the State was IN the throes of political
revolut ion that threatened to subvert
the sacred traditions Of the State and
surrender the intelligence and respect
ability of the commonwealth to the rule
OF ignorance and depravity. has been
the bane of the people since its adop-
ton, and its thorough amendment is
required at the earliest practicable moa
ment.
1t may be that the exigences of the
political situation preclude immediate
agitation for the call of convention to
alter it's provisions, but the question as
to expediency and time can be beat de.
termined by the gathered wisdom OF the
Democratic party of Virginia, which
will be in conference here. Leaving
these questions then wholly to that
body it is only necessary to add that the
SUCCESS OF the conference. both as to the
number in attendance and the further
ance of the welfare of the Democratic
party OF the State, is to be most earn
estly desired. So far as Roanoke Is
concerned her people will give the
visiting gentlemen cordial welcome,
and spare no pains to make their visit
a pleasant one.

THE FLAT TOP COAL MINERS. STRIKE

THE FLAT TOP COAL MINERS, STRIKE.
The latest news from the Flat TOP
coal regions shows no material change in
the situation among the striking miners
there. In accordance with orders from
Richmond, State troops from various
portions OF the commonwealth have pro-
ceeded to Graham TO be ready for any
emergency requiring their services The
crisis OF the strike Is expected to-day or
tomorrow as the leaders Of the minors
who have gone out have announced
their intention OF holding mass meets
ing at Pocahon.as this afternoon, where
speeches will be made to induce the
men still st work to join with those who
have already gone out, and, this failing

SECRETARY CARLISLE is regarded by
the leaders of thu Democratic party and
by the intelligence OF the country gen.
orally as level-headed mo n on ques-
tions of tariff, law. currency, or any
other important national measure.
People may differ with him, and differ
honestly; but, II they know anything OF
his history since he entered public life,
they will hardly have the temerity to
call him fool on any question. AS
student of political economy, and in the
matter of scientific research, few men
IN the country have made more thorough
investigations than he has; and when,
in closing his letter to Hon. a. Il.
Sewer, OF Texarksns as to his record
on the silver coinage question, he says,
"silver Is no. now demonetized in this
country, as IL is in England, Germany
and other countries" he strongly
trenches on the grounds Of those loud
mouthsd" statesmen who have, for the
past two yesre, been bowling calamity
and proclaiming to the country at large
thatsilver decentralization was its cause.
