Very true
Now don't you think yourself that the
conventional wooing is very lamentable

tinue our subject: 1 honestly think this
business of love and marriage might be ex-
pedited, for instance in the commercial
way. A man comes into my office with
proposition that is almost as important to
me as marriage. for it affects my life af-
fairs very radically. I might even say it is
quite az important as marriage, for 1t is
sometimes irrevocahle while with mar
riage there is always the divorce court.

Cotton Manufacture I'm JaDan.
From the Edinburgh Scotsman.

The progress Of the manufacture of cot
ton goods in Japan has been such during
the past three years that 1t has ceased
to take any Of the Indian yarn which Bonn
bay used to send 1t. to the average value
Of the third Of q million sterling every
year. Although the tax on cotton i'm
ported into Japan was till recently as
much as per cent on the value. the Japan
ese spinner works SO long and so con-
scientiously that he has quite distanced
the Bombay mill owner. Unhappi{y, how
ever. he overworks child labor. But Japan
cannot supply its own raw cotton, and it's
import from China has failed According
ly. new trade has sprung up in raw cot
ton from Bombay, which L. Increasing 80

than recoup for the loss Of the yarn trade.
The operatives In japan work night and
day In two shifts only. every man toiling
for eleven and a half hours The mills
turn out from 80 to 40 per cent more yarn
per spindle than those Of Bombay, and

ROANOKE, VA, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, i
VISITED BY EDITORS.
M'KINLEY TALKS TO NEWSPAPER
WRITER'S.

Canton, o., Sept IA party of eighty
sin editors of the Republican Press Asso-'
citation of West Virginia, reached Can
ton at 1890 too day. They were headed
by President w. z. Morris, of Harris
vile, Secretary w. Hirst Curry, of
Clarksville, and secretary of the Republic
can State committee. They were escort
ed to their hotels and later in the after
noon paid their respects to Major Mckin-
ley.
Major Mckinley was introduced by p.
w. Morris and he was greeted with the
greatest enthusiasm. He said in part:
From no quarter could visitors be
more welcome nor from any body of men
than the representatives of the Republi.
can press of West Virginia from State
in which | am intensely Interested as n
citizen and n Republican, and because 1
believe that upon the success of Republi-
can principles her advancement and wei
fare largely depends.
The cause in which you are engaged
TINS year is one commanding both con
science and interest. The Republican
cause never was more Just and righteous
than this year and the triumph of its
principles was never more essential to
the general welfare of the American peo,
pie than now. We have had great'politi-
cal contests in the past, but | doubt if
any was ever waged which involved
higher interests to the people and the
country ut large than those presented in
this campaign. Nothing is more vital to
the standing and progress of the country
than the preservation of its credit and
financial honor. Nothing is more in
ulspensible to business and prosperity
than that the currency of the country
shall be so honest that it can cheat no
Dolly. NOTHING iS ~
the welfare of the country than the adop-
ton of policy which will give to labor
and capital constant employment with
lar returns. But, gentlemen, lying be-
meath all these and more important than
all these is preservation of law and order
the reign OF domestic quiet All these
are embraced in the contention which is
upon us this year. In connection with
these questions as editors and publishers
you have the gravest responsibilities.
You help to make public sentiment and a
right public sentiment is what is most
needed at this juncture of our national
aftairs.n

Casting a Large Vote,

White River Junction, Vt. Sept. l.
The Green Mountain State declared for
Josiah Circuit, Republican, for governor
to- day and for the Republican State
ticket by majority II that equalled the
prediction of the most confident Republi-
can managers. Returns from the distant
towns are as usual rather slow in coming
IN, but the count in all sections of the
State shows substantial Republican
gains and indicate that the majority for
the Republican State ticket wiz he about
5000. This is the largest majority ever
given for governor in this State, the
nearest approach to it being in 1885,
when the majority was 27,61S. The Re-
publican leaders tonight claim that the
majority may reach $4,000 and possibly
$1,000

gresslonal candidate in the first district,
and William NJ. Grout, in the second,

III the control of the Republicans by
practically the same majority as two
years ago.
The weather generally was cool and
fair throughout the State and brought
out. hundreds of Republican voters who
have not been to the polls for wears.
Practically the full Republican vote was
cast. On the other hand the lack of or
ganization in the Democratic ranks was
very apparent. Many Democrats who do
not endorse the platform of the Chicago
convention remained away from the
polls, while the more dissatisfied ones
voted the Republican ticket. The Popu-
list and Prohibition vote was practically
the same as four years ago.

FOR OLD IRELAND.
IRISH NATIONAL CONVENTION AT
DUBLIN.
copyrighted 1896 by the A. P.)

Dublin, Sept 1.-The first session of
the Irish national convention opened at
noon to-day in Leinster Hall, which was
we'll filled with delegates.
1t was estimated that the Irish race
throughout the world was represented
by from 600 to 700 delegates. They come
from Ireland and Great Britain as rule,
but the United States, Canada, Austria
liza and South Africa are represented by
a number of delegates.
The convention was called to order
promptly at noon by Mr.. Justin McCar-
thy, M. p, who nominated the most
Rev. Patrick O'Donnell, d. d., bishop
of Raphoe, for permanent chairman.
The bishop was unanimously elected
amid the widest applause.
Bishop O'Donnell then read message
from the pope in which his holiness pray
ed that the Irish leaders might end their
dissentions. The chairman then special.
~ welcomed the delegates from the
United States and Canada and delivered
an address pleading for unity.
Bishop O'Donnell referred to the pub
lication in last June of the report of the
commission on the financial relations of
Ireland and Great Britain, which showed
Ireland to be heavily overtaxed.
Abiding to the disunion among the
different Irish factions, the bishop de-
clared that no man or set IF men must
put themselves in competition with the
cause of Ireland. This remark of the
bishop caused all of the delegates to rise
to their feet and cheer Tor about five
minutes. When the bishop was able to
proceed he said that he cared little which
English party helped Ireland, but the
Irish should be independent of and in OPP
position TO any party refusing them
home rule

The Palatial Hotel Waldorf, of New

From "Presto,'' March 10th. 1893.

IOIh1 luSl;tlS Unc l0cnr BlNTO.
From Presto" March 10th, 1893.
Much has been written about the
beautiful Instruments going into this
palace hotel, and yet, like the story of
heaven, "the half has never been told"
Chickering 81 Sons, Behr Bros & Co.
and Steinway & Sons are supplying them.
Thus the great hotel will not be tied to
one piano, but gives three noted makers
contracts. That each concern is irving
to Guido the other is apparent when YOU
have seen the Instruments And when
you have viewed them all, it is impossi-
BILE to say which has outdone the other in
elegant cabinet work. In the matter of
tone, that is for each person to suit his
ear. Right here let me say that when it
comes to n comparison of high grale in
stl uments no one can say that AIS piano
is better than BIS, or vice versa. Tone
Is like beefsteak; you may like yours
well done and l rare, yet l have no right
to say yours is not fit to eat or YOU to
make the same remark about the morseI
L am masticating. Tone is purely Il mat
ter OF individual taste. Chckering &,
sons have their pianos on exhibition now,
ana many have viewed them, all being
loud i'll their praises. Behr Bros. & Co.
have one of theirs in their show window,
and every one stops and admires it,
while many go in and test it. Steinway
81 Sons have not exhibited theirs, and
they are beauties. This rivalry is some
thing to be encouraged. Anything that
puts manufacturers on their mettle to
produce art goods is something by which
the public is benefited
