LET US HAVE LIGHT,

From all the information received
the opposition to running the electric
lamps of this city by moonlight
schedule Is very general, and of
most decided character, and If tho
City Council is wise it will tako no
more steps in tha: direction, bur will
Sllow tue N after to remain Just where
it Ia. As question of economy the
proposition partskes too plainly Of the
penny wise and pound foolish" policy
to be for moment seriously enter
tanned by the city Legislature, and il
Is earnestly hoped thai the mem bers
OF that body will lsien to the protests
of citizens and taxpayers against the
measure.
II the light Of the M CON was ut oil
times as bright as when she Is at her
full and when the sky is not obscured
by aaingle cloud, there might be some
reason in adopting o m oonlight schedule,
but 1t must be remembered that at diff.
1erent phases OF that luminary her brill
liancy varies, and that at all times.
when obscured by clouds or fo,s, the
light Is very uncertain and in no wsy
comparable to that furniahed by
electricity. The period at which the
moon remains full is short one COM
paratively, while before and after this
the light is on an ascending or descend.
ing scale, from which it is plain that,
though the satellite may be shining,
her powers Of illumination during most
OF the intervening time are weak and
uncertain.
II Roanoke were an old and we'll
paved city whore nearly all the inhabi-
tants wont to sleep at o'clock and no
one was out later than II o'clock at
night, moonlight schedule might meet
the needs Of her people; but being
railroad town with many boardwalks,
and on numerous streets no sidewalks at
all, 1t is evident thu! such echedule

EN- SECRETARY WHITNEY from recent
interviews, apparently has no desire to
be Presidential candidate himself, but
is perfectly willing that his friend,
Grover Cleveland, should mako the race
for g third term. 1t begins to look like
concerted effort ia making by Demo
cratic Office holders and others to give
the Presidential nomination next year
to Mr.. Cleveland; but it is not believed
the attempt will be successful. II it
should be, however, the people will
most certainly put in an effective protest
against his election at the polls.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Frank Rob

Cution by the Mexico troops Of Robert

Old Customs Rule Modified.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE presi-
dent has just promulgated new rule
modifying the old customs rule of the
civil service, the effect of which is to
greatly limit the number Of promotions
in classified customs districts except
after appropriate examination. The ne
cessity for the change in the lule arises
from the fact that the extent of the
classification Of the customs service on
November last over positions paying
salaries of less than $500 opened the
doors for the promotion Of many per.
sons who had entered the service
through personal political fayoritism.
The old rule would permit these persons
after they were brought into the CLASH
fed services to be advanced to many Of
the best paying positions.

to examination on the ground that it is
unnecessary while the brief Of the

which gives a judge the discretion Of
examining It party to a suit before the
trial of the action takes place. Judge
Lippincott took the paper in the case
and reserved his discision.

Attention Of the State Department Called
to Outrages In Ecuador.
WASHINGTON, July 17.-Representa-
tive Timothy Campbell Of New York
had a conference with Acting Secretary
of State AdOO with respect to the i'll
treatment of certain missionaries in &c.
uadOr during the progress of the recent
revolution in that country. In 1887 a
number Of sisters of the Benedictine Or
der sailed from New York for Ecuador
to establish missions there. They
started missions at Roeapurte, where a
convent was established in charge Of
Sister Theresa and at Babahoyo and
Calcetra, the latter mission being in
charge Of Sister Genevieve. The latter
recently arrived at New York, accom-.
panied by Sisters Francis de SALES and
Josephine, after having experienced
great hardships in Ecuador.
During the revolution the mission at
Calcetra was destroyed and the sisters
were III treated and compelled to escape
from the country in a small boat The
other missions suffered also and the sis
tiers who reached New York are appre.
hensIYs as TO the fate of the 20 mission.
aries they left behind them and from
whom nothing has been heard. After
hearing this statement Acting Secretary
Adoo promised to cable Immediately to
United States Minister TiIlman at
Quito, instructing him to secure govern
ment protection for the remainder of
the little band and see that they are not
further prosecuted. It is probable that
as soon as the case can be put in proper
form our government will be asked to
prefer a demand for reparatiOn upon
the Ecuadorean government for this
outrage.

from the Eighteenth Illinois district,
died at his home in this city after an
illness of more than three months. His

army.
