NO NEED OF A CAUCUS.

The people Of Roanoke, as 3 rule, are
more anxious about the character and
ability OF the men they elect to I'LL the
city offices than they are for she TIL
umph Of any particular party or faction
IS their action in past elections has
shown. They want honest and efficient
officers and are more DESTROYS for an
economical and patriotic naturalization
OF municipal affairs than for the tri-
umph OF any party.
The majority OF the city government
is Democratic, 1t is true; but, because
this is the case, it is not necessary to
carry politics further and Insist on 9
Democratic caucus to nominate she
officers to be elected by the city council.
This is carrying the matter too far, and
will result In no good to the party II q
caucus be insisted upon.
The members OF council know their
business, and are too we'll advised as to
the wishes Of their constituents to be
dictated to in this matter. Such plan
might work very we'll for offlce-seekers
who cannot rely on their own merits;
but they are not the men that the peo-
pie OF Roanoke desire to put in places
OF responsibility and trust. 1t is hoped
council will turn deaf ear to sll such
talk, and will be guided by their indi-
viduAl judgment in selecting candi-
dates, making personal fitness for the
position sought the sole basis Of their
action.

THE CONFEDERATE REUNION.

The reunion of Confederate Veterans
at Richmond on June 90 and 80 and
July will be one OF the grandest
gatherings Of the battle SCARED heroes
OF the Sout tn since the surrender at APP
pomsttox. Reduced rates will be given
by all the railroads of the South and
every State OF the late Confederacy will
be represented at the reunion. The
programme prepared for the occasion !s
an elaborate one and the people Of
Richmond will extend every hospitality
to the Veterans and other visiting Or
CARNATIONS. Reports from all sec tions
OF this State and from every part of the
South show that the deepest interest Is
taken in the approaching reunion, and
that OK Confederates are rallying with
az much enthusiasm to pay another
visit to the late capital of the Con-
federscY, as they rushed to its support
in the early months of the war between
the States. Roanoke expects to send
liberal contingent of soldiers, and
the volunteer military organizations
here also expect to take part In the
parade and other exercises of the re-
union. 1t will be g great and memors-

A Card From Justice Williams.

To THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES The
report OF police court proceedings
of yesterday printed in THE TIMES of
this morning is calculated to do me
great injustice. inasmuch - IL does not
give the full account OF the testimony
in the case OF the Italian girl, charged
with sssaulting the boy, Hudson.
II Is there stated that MoA bee WAS the
principal prosecuting witness, when, in
fact. relied chiefly upon the evidence
of Mr.. Leslie, who had stated to me
both before and at the trial that the as
sauls made by the girl was wholly with.
out any provooation, and that he re-
gsrded 1t as great outrage, ana 80 in.
formed the father, Mr.. Hudson, that his
child had been cruelty and brutally
beaten and induced him to procure
warrant. And upon the trial Mr.. Leslie
swore that the boy left his fathers fish
stand and came up In front of the girl,
and did nothing by word or act to offend
her, and that she in the presence OF
Leslie, McAbee and others, commenced
striking the boy violently and cruelty
AID inflicted several blows upon his
arms, leaving the marks of the blows
perfectly visible thereon.
There WAS no evidence whatever tend.
Ing TO show that this girl was justi6able
in her conduct in any degree whatever.
There WAS evidence showing that the
evening before and that morning, boys
had treated her badly by interfering
with her birds and using improper lam
RuaRe, for which they should be pun
ished, but she failed to identify them.
But nothing eff this kind WAS being done
by young Hudson when he WAS as
saulted. | therefore fined the girl $3.50,
which was very light fine, but it was
fixed at that sum because she WAS girl
and stranger here. II q man had done
the same thing, 1t would have been much
greater. l am not In the habit OF motto
Ing criticisms upon my official conduct,
but when l am made to appear as hsv-
ing rendered q decision that made the
blood OF the average citizen boil" I
deem IL proper that the average citizen
should know all the facts connected

HANNA WILL BE REWARDED.

Dental nomination has apparently been

beginning. But whether the capture OF
delegates has been due 10 good manage.
ment, luck or the personal popularity
OF the Ohio man, certain 1t is that his
lieutenant and right bower, Hon. Mark
A. Hanna. OF Ohio, will come in for a
large share Of credit for the phenom-
email success which has attended the
Mckinley movement up to the present
time Indeed, when the subject Is
viewed dlspassionaiely it Is apparent
that q considerable amount of foresight
and sagacity has been shown in con-
nection with the Canvass from the be-
ginning.
The adoption OF sort of financial
ssraddle by the Ohio State Republican
convention which endorsed Mckinley
for Pr siient turns out to have teen q
very poitic move. But for this
1t is No; believed so many Western
States would have selected Mckinley
delegates TO the st. Louis convention,
and 1t cannot be denied that but for the
ready endorsement accorded him there
he would not have found bis position on
the eve OF the meeting of the national
Republican convention much more un-
certain than 1t now seems with regard
to the nomination for President.
Should the Republicans elect their
hcket, which would mean, OF course. to
put Mckinley in the Presidential chair,
the new President will no doubt be will
ing to give Mr.. Hanna one OF the best
positions in his cabinet, either Secre-
tarY Of the State or o. the Treasury.
The latter perhaps would suit Governor
McKinley's mana. er best, as, having
made q success of his own financial af-
fairs, he might imagine himself capable
of looking after those OF the govern
ment.

THERE WILL BE TROUBLE.
1t is Likely That Great Britain VIII Use
Force in Egypt,

LONDON, June 12-The Marquis OF
Salisbury in the house Of lords to day
replying to Lord Rosebery said that for
long time he had been OF the opinion
that sooner or later it would be neces.
sary TO take steps to reclaim for Egypt
the territory los. in 1852 and 1884.
Many reasons counsel delay, but
the Government WAS suddenly con-
fronted by the fact that Kasssla WAS
threatened and that there WAS every
probability that would be followed by a
frightful catastrophe.
The expedition up the Nile was or
dered because the government felt tn al
the interests OF Egypt were at stake and
those OF Italy were affected. The occu-
patton OF Dongola, the Marquis pointed
out, would increase Egyptian com MERGE

ATOMS OF ELECTRICITY.

Calculation That Seems Incomprehensibia
to the Average Intelligence.
Have you any idea what IAN atom Of
electricity would look, feel, taste or
smell like? In short, have you mind
that is capable of imagining what such
an lnflnitesimal division of the incom-
prehensible fluid" would be? We think
not. The writer has spent his life "delv-
ing i'll the realms of the wonderful, {"
yet he Is free to confess that he has no
more of an idea what an atom Of cleo
tricity would be than he has Of what ia
TO be understood by the words Soul"
and eternity" But there arc those
who have been spending hours, days and
weeks exploring and investigating i'll tho
bOttomlcSS ocean of electrical mysteries.
and who have arrived ut some startling
conclusions. That such thing as IAN
atom of electricity" exists has been be-
licvod in 10y number of eminent cleo
tricians and philosophers among them
the honored Helmholtz and our own
Thomas A. Edison.
Working on the theories advanced bv
the former, Professor Richarz, Il well
known European investigator, has made
some experiments in that line that have
startled even the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES who
come i'll daily contact with things Of tho
most wonderful nature. According to a
recent determination of Professor Rich
arr, the smallest possible quantity of
clectricity--that which may properly be
termed ian atom lis such that 43O
multiplied by 200, 600 three times
that is to say, by the cube of 1000, 600
will give the number Of atoms in a
coulomb of electricity.
