THE CUBAN RESOLUTIONS.

The adoption of the Senate Cuban
resolutions by the House of Represent
tatives may lead to fsr-reaching re-
suits. The resolutions are more con-
servative than those originally adopted
by the House; but they are sufficiently
strong to rouse the anger of SpAnisrds
to such an extent that some direct af-
front may be offered to this country.
One of the Senate resolutions expresses
the opinion that q state OF war exists in
Cuba, and that the United states should
accord to each of the contending powers
on the island belligerent rights. The
other declares that the friendly offices
OF this Government should be offered
by the President to Spain for the recog-
milton Of Cuban independence.
The resolutions being concurrent, it
rests altogether with the administration
whether any &C ton is taken on them or
not and at this time 1t appears probA-
BILE that Mr.. Cleveland will allow mat-
tiers to rest as they are, although this 10
by no means certain.

citsble people they will, Of course. in
dignantly resent any attempt on the
part Of the United States to interfere in
Cuban affairs, and there is no knowing
what outbreaks in Spain may follow the
adoption of the resolutions.
The Spanish government fully under
stands the danger Of war with the United
States; but the people are not In the
lesst dismayed OF such prospect, and
they may force their government to
adopt extreme measures. Single handed
Spain would be no match for this coun-
try, but Great Britain and France both
sympathize with the former in the dis
puse with the United States about Cuba,
and should en- alliance be formed with
either, we would have first class war
on our hands. Sooner or later Cuba will
be annexed to the United States, and
although our statesmen generally de-
clare that they do not desire the aquisi
tion Of the island, the majority of the
American people seem to be of q differ
emit opinion.

The series of excursions which the
association for the development of the
trade of Richmond has organized began
yesterday and the capital city was
crowded with visitors from various parts
of the State. The echeme promises to
be great success in helping the bust
ness interests of Richmond, and reflects
great credit on the sagacity and enter
terprise of the live men OF that city.
The prosperity of any place rests with
the people who live in it, and now that
the business men of Richmond fully
realize the Importance of being up and
doing, important results are sure to fol-
low. We earnestly hope all and more
than ia expected may be realized by the
undertaking.

The average millionaire has lost faith
in truly Republican form OF govern
ment. He wants strong centralized
government with heavy military an
mex. He wants to know that the gov
eminent is willing and able to protect
him and his possessions, ill.gotten and
otherwise. He knows that the gold
standard Is the money OF monarchs and
that under such governments the mill
ionaire gold bugs ride in chaises, while
the hungry millions pull the load. Ten
years longer under the single gold
standard will make 1t necessary for this

A SPLENDID GAME.

Roanoke Defeated Brooklyn Yesterday by
Score of 8 tot.
The "fans" and cranks Witnessed as
pretty sn exhibition Of ball playing yes.
terday sfternoon es was ever seen on
the Roanoke diamond. The game was
close and interesting from start to I'm
ish, but the Brooklyns were finally de-
feated in the ninth inning. The runs
were about even throughout the entire
game, Brooklyn sometimes leading by
one, and sometimes by two. In the
eighth inning the score stood six to five
in favor OF Brooklyn.
Wrigley hit safely. Tate was given a
base on balls. Groves went out On fy
easy grounder to frat. McFalls went to
the bat with q man on second and third
and landed safely between short stop
and centre field, which scored two runs.
Brooklyn also scored in the eighth,
which made the score even again. In
the ninth the Brooklynn were given a
goose egg.
Sheehan, the first at the bat for the
Roanokes, WAS struck by pitched ball
and went to first; Sullivan went out on
q foul fly TO the catcher; La Fleur went
to first on four balls; Wrigley went out
on fly TO the infield, with q man on
first and second. Tate WAS presented
with q base on balls. This was the
critical stage Of the game. The bases
were full, two men vera out and the
fans" were wild.
"3oss" Groves, the speedy little left
fielder, went to the bat with a confident
air and waited until he got a ball
squsrely over the plate. he met Il on
the end Of his bat and landed safely
over the right felder's hesd, with
Sheeban at second, and the Brooklyns
we're defeated.
Coons pitched seven innings and was
very effective a. first. In the last two
innings he was batted rather freely, but
the anappy, quick fielding of the Roa-
noke lads prevented the Giants from
making more than two runs in any
inning.
Kimble went in the box in the begin
ming OF the eighth, ana allowed the
visitors but two hits.
Gumbers and DAub did the twirling
act for the Giants, and both proved very
effective. The former was tower OF
strength st the bat, having home run
and a double to his credit. WriQley
made himself solid with the cranks by
making seemingly i'm apostolic stop and
throwing the batter out az first before
he had recovered himself. Tate, Sulli-
van and Sheehan played q great game
at their respective positions. Follow
ing is the score:
