ELECTIONS will be held in fifteen
States next week, and on the results OF
these expert political prognos ticators
may be able. in some measure, to deter
mine how the Presidential contest next
year will be decided. In consequence,
the interest in these elections is much
greater than in "off years. ordinarily.
In five of the States the elections will
have direct bearing on the composition
OF the United States Senate, and in
others the vote will determine one wav
or the other the chances of some OF the
Presidential aspirants. Maryland, KEN
lucky, Ohio and Iowa will elect legisla..
lures, and the legislature of Utah will
choose two United States Senators, who
will take their seats at once.

The prospects are that the Prosiden-
tial ampaign next year will be q short
one. The fact that the Republican ma
tional committee has been called to
meet on the 10th of Decem Der, whom or.
dinarily the meeting should have been
called for early in November, indicates
such determination among the leaders
OF that party, and it is very probable
the Democrats will follow this example.
Among the reasons assigned for this are
desire to disturb the business of the
country as little as possible and the
divisions on the money and other ques-
tions in both parties. There ia no de-
sire to give discontented factions much
time to brood over their disappoint-
ments and possibly form alliances that
might prove disturbing factors in the
campaign. Both Democrats and Re-
publicsns, it Is said, prefer that the
silver party convention. If there is to be
one, should be held before the regular
national convention, and 1t is believed
this will bs done in May or early in
June. The old parties, 1t is claimed,
have nothing to lose from ehort cam.
paign, and If there should be triangu-
lar fight, the shorter the campaign the
better it would be.

THE RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT HERE.

The revival services which have been
going on in this city for several weeks
have beea productive of much good.
Many persons have fallen under relig-
lous influences aud changed the course
OF their lives, and many are seeking the
true way OF life. The people OF Roa-
noke are church-goers and no city Of
its size in the country can boast of M ore
earnest pastors and more attentive con-
gregations.
The ministers Of this city are faithful
exponents Of the Gospel, and as workers
for the benefit of their fellow man they
cannot be excelied by those of any COM
munity. The seeds Of truth that have
been sown during the recent REVEALS
are already bringing forth good fruit,
and as time goes on the work now being
done will be productive of still greater
results. In the struggle of life, with
the many SORROWS and dissppointments
which are common to all, there Ia no
true source of comfort and inspiration
save in the promises OF the Bible.
There the gllttering baubles Of this
transitory existence are fully portrayed
and there alone are found all tho in
centives to better and higher life.
1t is we'll for mankind to reflect on
the vanities OF earth, of which there ere
SO many constant reminders, and we'll
indeed are those who devote their time
to the welfare and happiness of Others,
deserving of the love and confidence OF
the fiocks to whom they minister. The
pastors of this city have always shown
forgetfulness OF self in their work for
others deserving OF the highest praise
They seek not for wealth and honors

Lowest Bidder Did Not GetI,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26.-Secretary
Herbert has decided against awarding
to the Detroit Tow-Boat Company the
contract for building two of the new
gunboats for the navy, notwithstanding
1t was tho lowest bidder. Our agreement
with Great Britain binding each nation
against building or putting war vessels
on the Great Lakes was the direct cause
of this decision.

a wARLIKE STATEMENT.

Tho Washington Post has heretofore
been quite accurate in foretelling i'm
portant decisions OF the administration,
but IL its assertions in regard 20 the po-
sition which the President and Secre-
tsry Of State have assumed towards
Great Britain on the Venezuelan bound.
airy dispute are correct there ia
real cause for apprehending seri-
GUS dispute between this country
and England, the elimination of
which cannot very long be de-
ierred. The statements of the Post in
connection with the determined stand
Lord Salisbury has taken towards Ven
ezuela certainly lead to the fear that a
grave crisis in the history of the coun-
try Is at hand, the outcome of which it
is now impossible to determine.
The British minister shows no dispo-
sltion to yield an inch of territory to
Venezuela and refuses, apparently, as
far as the public statements go, to sub
NIT the principal question at issue to
arbitration. The Corinto affair was
virtually a notice to the United States
that England did not admit tho validity
of tho Monroe doctrine, and this, in
connection with Mr. Cham berlaln's in
struc tions to ths authorities OF Guiana,
has probably opened the eyes of the
American administration and brought
it to the conclusion at which, it is
claimed, the President has arrived. Says
the Post:
Secretary Olney's note to Lord Sails
bury has not yet beea made public,
but when it's ringing sentences become
known, as they will in due tins, they
will arouse an echo in every patriotic
heart. Despite the denials which have
been automatically made. there is no
doubt that Lord Salisbury has protested
that the United States is carrying the
principle OF the Monroe doctrine to an
extent hitherto undreamed Of. There
is ground for such a protest. Mr.. Olney
with the Presidents full knowledge
and appreciation, has placed England in
a position whore she must either aban-
don her claim or sustain 1t with show
Of force. There is no alternative.
ut can be positively asserted that the
administration is sublimelY Indifferent
to the course which Great Britain in
tends to pursue. There would be glory
enough for the President, OF course, il
England should quietly yield and re-
cognize the United States as the domi-
nant power upon the Western hemis-
phere, but If It comes motif, on the
other hand, England proposes to leave
the question to the arbitrament Of
war-then the administration will be
ready to meet the issue. 1t ia for this
that the work upon the ships is being
fastened in all the navy yards, that
armor is being forged and guns com
pleted with unusual rapidity. Moro
than this, there WILL be, in duo course
OF time, an array OF Am srican war ves-
sells under tho shadow OF the Venezue-
Ian coast, ostensibly manoeuvering,
but in reality emphasizing by their
presence the new, stslwect, and pa
triottc policy OF the administra ton"

nervousness
Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ncr-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood is full Of the germs
of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues Of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ncr-
vousness?
OF course Scrofula, Salt Rhcum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism arc uni
versally recognized rs blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as The
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for thatcondition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is q false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking preparation which only
QuietS your nerves! 1t is like trying to
"drown" your SORROWS in the flowing
