THE claim that the Presidents proc
lamation against aiding the Cuban in
surrection practically amounts to rec
ognition OF the rebels as belligerents,
is preposterous. On the contrary, as
Senator Morgan says, just the reverse
is the case. II the insurgents are en-.
titled to belligerent rights no such
action on the part Of the President
wauld have been necessary, as then the
citizens of this country would have the
right to sell munitions Of war to the
Cuban rebels If they could escape the
Spanish feet.

ROANOKE CITY DIRECTORY.

The business and professional com
munity OF Roanoke will be pleased to
know that Mr.. Sholes, the direct tory
publisher, has decided TO begin the
canvass at once for new directory of
the city. Since the last publica ton
nearly two years ago. many changes
have taken place which make that prsc-
ttcally valueless Another fact OF
great Importance to the city is that the
last directory was published at the low
est ebb of Roanoke's fortunes. The
census taken at that time showed q
tremendous loss in population during
the year 1893, and hundreds Of dwell.
ings all over the city were vacant.
To-day. while we are far from en-
joying the prosperity of former years,
yet the evidences are conclusive to the
observsnt eye that Roanoke Is again on
the up grade.
Now, there are very few vacant
houses, not more proportionally than
are always to be found In any city. and
we fully believe that the census, which

material gain in population over his
previous report.
If this should prove true, and there is
every reason to believe it WILL the pub
licAtion Of the fact will be of such
benefit to the city as can scarcely be
measured by dollars.
There can be little, II any. financial
profit to Mr.. Sholes in publishing di-
rectory OF Roanoke at this time. and it
can be only his faith in the ultimate
future Of the city that induces him to
continue the publication.
1t Is to be hoped therefore. that our
citizens will appreciate his work fully,
and extend as generous support as may
be possible to 80 important an enter
prise.

Secretary Of the Navy Herbert in his
address to the graduates Of the Alabama
Agricultural and Mechanical College. at
Auburn, In that State yesterday, ex-
pressed sentiments OF patriotism and
gave advice which not only the young
men OF Alabama. but OF Virginia and
every Southern State should bear we'll
In mind. The Secretary was soldier
OF the Confederacy and fought brsvely
for what he believed was right, but he
is now thoroughly reconstructed and is
fully satisfied with the changes effected
by the war.
In the course of his remarks he said:
Conditions have been rapidly changing
in our country during the whole OF the
century that Is now drawing to close.
Our country is, however, still the most
promising field of human effort. and let
me add, young gentlemen, that II the
task OF success for you is to be more
arduous than your fathers, the condi-
tions are broader. life.is more Intense,
and the prizes, when captured. will be
more brilliant even than those that
were won by them"
The two problems, he said. which
gave great concern to our earlier states.
men were the relative powers of the
general and State governments. and
slavery. The great civil war settled
both forever, and now no citizen dares
to dispute the power of this Government
except in it's courts.
Men, he said, might question the wis
dom OF Congress or Of the President or
the justice and correctness of the de-
cisions OF the Supreme Court, but the
Government nevertheless stands sue
preIne, and in this respect the young
men to whom he was speaking were
more fortunate than their fathers, as no
unsettled questions pregnant with civil
war were hanging over them. He also
expressed the hope that none OF the
graduates would leave the institution

away from the Bible lessons learned at
his mothers knee and that none would

claiming that the little smattering Of
science acquired in year or 80 had
taught him all this.
He believed that the problem of the
future weuld grow out OF the relations
of labor and capital; but the outcome
could not be socialism, since It's attem pt
to equalize conditions would abolish the
springs Of action and place thrift and
intellectual activity alongside of ig-
norance. sloth and pronigacy. On that
dead level society would stagnate and
man would relapse into tho condition of
the brutes of the field.
This could not and would not be. So

will go on, and, judging the future by
the past. 1t may be predicted with GER
tainty that, unless our people forget
God and His teachings and go to cutting
each others throats, as they did in the
French revolution. the outcome OF the
conflict between capital and labor will
be the betterment of social conditions.

BUILDING AND LOAN SOCIETIES.
An Interesting Opinion Rendered by At

An Interesting Opinion Rendered by At
torneyGeneral Fitzgerald.
Attorney General Fitzgerald has given
an opinion relating to the Stockton Land
Loan and Building Association which is
of interest to all connected with such asso-
Citations. The Board of Commissioners of
Building and Loan Associations wrote to
the Accomplishment asking these ques-
tons:
First the legal status of the Stockton associa-
ton mentioned and its shareholders; second,
whether this association can issue shares of
stock and whether the certificates issued by 1T
are stock certificates or only certificates OF
membership; third. whether such association
should be allowed to proceed as heretofore or
be required to amend its articles of incorpora-
ton.
The Attorney Generals answers are as
follows:
First-The fact that such association has, as
shown by its annual report, 74I4 shares or the
par value of 5000 each does not alter or change
the status of the Incorporation or the relation OF
shareholders to it, as 1t is expressly PROVIDED
corporations of this character may be organ
lied with or without capital stock.
Second-Such association can issue STOCK GER
tificates, showing the number OF shares SUD-
scribed for by the members, and such cert1fi-
Gates are stock certificates and not certificates
of membership.
Third am further OF the opinion that the
said ASSOCIATION, as shown in its articles OF in
corporation, practically conforms TO title XVI,
part ", division /, OF the Civil Code, ana
therefore there is no reason for requiring 1t TO
annul its articles OF incorporation.

SMOKE FROM THE SOUND.
The Sooty Pennant a Thou
sand Miles Long That Flaps
From the Sea.
That Smoke Of Yesterday Was
Strangely Spun Out Southwark
by the Winds.

Some people noticed that it was very
smoky about the City and bay yesterday,
and some did not. The blush haze that
brooded everywhere, yelling the islands in
the bay, was mixed with fog and helped
the damp winds from the ocean chill the
sunshine, and to many the trouble was
just fog.
But it was real smoke that rode in on
the Winds and it came from the ocean in
damp southwest breezes. Coming from
the southwest to the land the smoke
might have come from Hawaiian vol
canoes, but it didn't. That smoke started
from Puget Sound, made strategic flank
movement out over the ocean and then
charged on the bay by way of the Golden
Gate.
1t travelled 1000 miles to get here, and
Weather Forecast Official Harmon was
the only man in the City yesterday who
knew all about it. Smoke may not be
strictly meteorological phenomenon, but
when there is enough of it it often gets
mixed up with the weather and it becomes
officially recognized as weather.
1t seems that two or three weeks ago the
usual summer forest fires in the mountains
of Washington got well going, and ever
since then the winds have been gently
spreading the smoke all over Washington
and Oregon. For two weeks now '.smk"
has been written all over those two States
on the daily weather bureau, along with
the usual hieroglyphics, but the smoke did
not get down into California.
1t has happened, however, that north
winds have been blowing up there for days,
and the smoke from the big smudges in
the coast mountains has been carried di-
rectly southwark. This course carried it
out to sea from where the coast line bends
to the east. For DAYS the north winds
spun out a frightening banner from the
smoky mass by the sound and it was
tralled oyer the sea for hundreds of miles.
Day before yesterday northwest wind,
which followed the coast line, struck Point
Reyes, and in this the great pennant OF
smoke floated near the California shore.
This northwest wind struck the hills
south of the Golden Gate, and was de-
| fiected in through the gap as usual So
the northwest wind became a southwest
wind about the City, and SO it ripped an
edge from the long pennant of smoke at
sea and dragged it in to the bay.
That is the peculiar way in which smoke
from Puget Sound got to San Francisco
yesterday. 1t is not an unusual thing for
smoke to travel that distance from wide
spread forest fires, for smoke from Mime
sofa forests has been carried southwark
beyond st. Louis, but it is rarely that
smoke from Washington dims the sun.

known that the winds, the sea and the
hills ever before got it here by such an in.

1t reads:

In reply to your favor of the 22d ult. and to
your question, first, care the members of a
Grand Jury entitled to mileage for attending
at one, two or three adjourned NEE tings, say
two mouths apart? and (2) has your
Board OF Supervisors legal right to purchase
a toll ferry and maintain a free ferry across
the Sacramento River?"
FirstvI am of the opinion that under the
provisions OF the fee bill approved March %,
1895 Stat, 1895, 267-273l, members of a
grand jury are entitled TO receive "for each
mile actually Travelled in attending court
in going only, per mile Is cents" and
that only one mileage can be allowed grand
juror during the entire term of grand jury,
and that no mileage can be allowed to any
grand juror for attending adjourned meetings.
Second-I am further of the opinion that
there is no power vested by law in the Board
of Supervisors to purchase toll ferry. The
law gives the board authority to lay out, main
tain, control, erect and manage public roads,
turnpikes. ferries and bridges within the
county, but it nowhere gives 1t the power or
authority TO purchase toll ferry.
In concluding his opinion the Attorney
General says sit is the evident intent of
the Legislature not to confer upon Boards
of Supervisors the right to purchase the

According to the popular version,
Watt, as a small boy, saw the lid of
q teakettle move up and down when
the water was boiling, and this sug
gested to him the construction of the
steam engine. AS a matter of fact,
Watt made himself acquainted with
what had been done before, a point
altogether ignored in the popular
version, and had to work very hard
before he brought his invention to a
successful issue.
His example is typical of the true
method of progress, and it may be
said generally that in order to APP
proach a problem with the best pros
pect of success it is necessary (1) to
define as accurately as possible the
want that exists or the particular
object that is to be attained; (2) to
