Thinrs Our ENciInngcs Say

Many CT our Virginia exchanges ex-
press regret that the Roanoke Democrat
ic conference was called. but called 1t u.s.
and the question now Is. shouldn't 1t be
attended by our party men of ability ana
influence? We think so. The RoanokerS
are very pleasant and reasonable peop'e'
and II our party leaders go there ana
consult with them as 10 the lines on
which the proceedings Of the conference
should be conducted. we doubt not tha'
they would gladly accept the advice
given them. So the Dispatch hopes that
the conference Will be well attended.
While our State exchanges differ with
regard to the desirability Of any con-
ference or any State convention at all
in advance of the meeting OF the Gene
raj Assembly, an overwhelming MAORI
ty Of them favor a convention TO revise
and amend the state Constitution 10 DC
held at the earliest practicable moment
and predict that this convention cannot
be long postponed.
BY some Democratic editors 1t is said
that "the land assessors are goins
around calling a constitutional conVen'
ton" by this is meant that the as
SCISSORS are reducing assessments: that
next year there Will not be enough
money coming in TO meet county eX-
pcnses: that the people will not con-
sent for the tax rate TO be advanced
and in consequence the next thing TO be
done Is TO call constitutional conven-
ton to devise a more economical system
Of government

True az Preaching.

one Of our northern exchanges, speak
ing Of the failure Of a negro colony in
Mexico, says:
THE truth is that the colored people
OF the South get along better there than
in any other part Of the world. This
is the best country on the face OF the
earth for the people who were born in IT,,
and for a good many other people Of sun
dry races
There is no doubt OF the truth Of this
statement. The negro finds nothing in the
North TO compensate him for leaving the
South and migrating to that section. In
Virginia. for example, Il negro is at least
recognized as a human being. In the
North his presence Is simply ignored. lie
is free to gang his ain gait" but he has
no such real freedom there as he has in
the South. All the northern theories on
this subject are completely answered by
the undoubted fact that negroes choose
rather TO work I'm the South for "A collar
a day than in the North for two collars
a day.

The First Regiment IS itself again. the
Governor having restored to duty those
officers who were relieved some weeks
ago.
There was for a long time n controversy
between some of the company officers
and the colonel and major OF the regi-
ment, but we earnestly trust that all
bad feeling has now subsidized, and that
hereafter there will be nothing but peace
and harmony between these gentlemen.
We should regret to hear that any re-
slgnations heretofore offered were 10 be
pressed to acceptance. The best motto
that could be adopted by those who have
been parties TO the contro, srsy would be,
Let by-gones be by-gones"

that no new ones will arise VIZ fervently

Mr.. Thompson is certainly an earnest
believer in this wonderful discovery OF
DR. Greene-Dr Greene's Nervura blood

people from these awful results, Is the
greatest discovery possible to be made.
This great remedy does cure. II does

and restores vitality To the blood and

suited without charge. Those who cannot

Those rnt-rrogatorics.

The Lyman Trumbul club OF Alle-
gheny. Pa, asks the three questions FOL
lowing:
/. II Industrial trusts are aonspiracles
against the public what are national
banks?
2. Does the vote OF the Republicans In
cougress In favor OF gold bonds mean
that hereafter all debts IN the United
States must be paid in gold?
3. Did Governor Mckinley. at Eoches-
ter. last week. represent the republican
party when he Endorsed the President
and the gold bonds 10 retire our SJVv,co)t
900 greenbacks?
The last two Undergraduates may be
answered in the negative The first one
has n hidden meaning. IL evidently
comes, however, from an opponent Of the
national banks and was Intended TO be
answered by chasing them with ccn-
splracies against the public.

1n,crnatronnI riimcta,,ic Conference

The Atlanta Constitution says:
1T Is pretty generally understood by
this time that the proposed international
monetary conference is mere sham so
far as this country Is concerned. Well
informed men-men who understand and
appreciate the power and influence OF the
Rothschilds and their partners know
perfectly well that the German rulers
nave consented to consider the matter
simply to conciiiate the Aerarian inter
est.. the farmers and producers OF GER
many. who have been agitating in favor
OF silver legislation.
We trust that the Constitution Is mis-
taken. The rumors are as numerous on
one side "a on the other. However. our
Atlanta contemporary has from the be-
ginning contended that the movement In
favor Of the conference aforesaid was a
sham.

In the mandamus proceedings to
compel the city clerk to file a petit
ton for liquor license, and which
he refused to sign because of the
local option in Kinds county, this
question is raised among others:
That the dram shop cnapter of the
Code of 1892 requires that an Off
cial ballot shall be used, and that
the requirements of the chapter of !
the code on registration and cleo
ton, shall be complied with as far
as applicable, and that the ballot
shall conform to all the require
ments of law, and shall read "Ior
the sale" and against the sale"
and that an official ballot is Great
ed and defined by the election or
dinance Of the constitution, which,
by the way, is omitted from the
code, to be that "whenever the
question of constitutional amend
ment, or other question or matter
admitting of an affirmative or neg
alive vote, is submitted to a vote
Of the electors, such amendment,
question or matter shall be printed
on said official ballot, together with
/ the names of the candidates, il any,
and also the words yea and nay, 70
be arranged by the proper officer,
so that the voler can inlelli9ently
vote his preference, by making a
q cross mark opposite the word in
dicating his preference, and also
that the voter shall make likewise
d cross opposite TIE answer he de-
sires to give III case Of an election
on constitutional amendment, or
other question Or NATTER and that
no ballot not provided in accor-
dance with this ordinance shall be
deposited or counted,
I The petition avers that the only
words put on the ballot were for
the sale against the sale - and
that such a ballot is not an official
ballot within the meaning Of the
ordinance, and could not be receiv-
ed or counted, and hence there
could be no election held by the
/, use Of this unconstitutional bal
, lot.
The petition was demurred tc
!, and the demurrer was sustained BY
the circuit court, and an appea

/ court.
