Chicagoers again; Cincinnati shut out

BETTER SCHOOL FACILITIES.

Roanoke is sadly in need "sof better
school facilities, bat it is not because the
people have failed TO take the necessary
steps to secure them. There are now on
hand unsold school bonds to the amount
OF S26, 600, and the city is indebted to
the school fund in the sum of Sill, coo,
which the people voted for school pur-
poses, but which has been devoted to
other uses, thus making n total fund of
s4V, DOO to the credit of the public school
IN the city treasury. While the money
Is lying idle certain sections of the city
are suffering for the want of school room

tanning 900 persons of the school age.
has no building and no school. The Third
ward needs more room, and in the Fifth
ward the public school is conducted in a
rented building There is no earthly en-
cuse for depriving the children of the CITY
OF the needed schools when there is such
IA large sum in the treasury to the cred it
OF the school fund. The school bonds
could now be sold at par and perhaps at
premium, and the necessary grounds
upon which to erect school buildings
could be purchased now at as reasonable
rates as will perhaps ever be afforded, as

For thorough appreciation of Bryan
and intense enthusiasm over his speeches
the Populist papers are remarkable.
Here, for instance, is part of Il leader in
the Monroe Bulletin:
His noble sentiments are so pure and
lofty that they ought to be read from the
pulpits of the country. We declare, with
out reservation, that Bryan is the noblest
orator this country has ever produced
His speeches ought to be treasured and
preserved by the American people rs the
best treatise on patriotism They are
good now and they will he good IA century
from now. His treatment of partyism is
the grandest thing since Washington's
address. His appeals to the common PEG.

thing that Patrick Henry ever said. His
simple, lucid, powerful reasoning is Just
like Thomas Jeffersons. But nothing
he has said or done more charms and ex-
ats our minds than his brave efforts to
free the white and black laborers of this
land from the political thralldom in which
their employers have held them. All

THE TRUSTS AND THE LAW.

| The people of the United States have
undoubtedly forgotten that there is n law
which makes the existence of trusts IL
legal. There is such Ia law, but it is al
lowed to slumber ignominiously between
J the covers of the statute books while the
trusts pursue the even tenor of their ways
that are dark. The author of the law was
the frequently prominent Statesman, John
Sherman, of Ohio. In answer to an in
quiry from the World newspaper, of this
city, MIR. Sherman telegraphed:
NO doubt the existing anti .rustlaw
can be enforced by a President and vigor-
Gus attorney general in sympathy withitn
Admirable, We thank thee Sherman.
for teaching us those words. The willy
fnancier of Ohio has said nothing that
was not known before. But how lhmi.
nousiy instructive is the point of view
1t IL shame and u satire on our institu-
tlonS that such Il law can stand upon the
Federal statute books unenforced. while
the trusts are doing their dirty work
and growing, fat on the profits. Butlhns
John Sherman or the World the hmm
dence to expect people to believe that Nc
i\inley and Ilobart are the sort of men to
set the force of the law Mt work arainst
the trusts?
Is Mr.. McKiDley's manager, Mark
Hanna, man whose skirts are entirely
clear of the gold dust of trusts If they
are, when did they boone so? And the
good major himself, under what influence
did he cease to be an advocate of bmet
alllsm and become IL supporter of the gold
standard? The list of great contributors
TO the Republican campaign fund has
Deen published several times. Is any one
likely to forget that the corpora tions
which are members of the powerful trusts

White House door with Il golden kew

first thing the Sage of Canton would do.
should he chance to acquire the chief eN-
ecutive Office, would be TO hunt up the
law against trusts and tell his attorney
general to enforce it with all his skill.
MIR. Hobart, who hopes TO preside over
the Senate of the United States, also cuts
something OF n figure in this matter. He
Will undoubtedly be extremely anxious to
see the trusts destroyed, because he is

pany, powerful party in the central
trust, which has just raised the price of
coal Sl.20 ton. Mr. Hobart rs conn
sci to the railroad, helped to formulate
the agreement by which the coal trust
came into existence. Therefore he is Just
the man to stimulate the President and
attorney general to activity in furnishing
that trust fora wicked conspiracy against
the prosperity of every consumer of coal
in the land.

to thank Mr.. Sherman for reminding
them OF the existence of that law. 1t is
not dead, but sleepeth. Mckinley and

Baron Nicholas Grebnitzky, governor
of the Russian fur seal islands, has reach.
ell san Francisco, Cal, en- route to WASH
ington, where he hopes to effect 4 new
treaty for regulating the seal trade be-
tween this country and the United States
He makes the same complaint OF the de-
struction of seal life on the Russian is
lands by poachers that is made by the
United States patrols in Bering sea in re-
gard to seal killing in Alaska waters
Our patrols claim that the Canadian seal
ers are doing nearly all the illegal killing
of seals; but the Russian governor COM
plains that his islands suffer most from
the encroachments of both Canadians ami
Americans 1t is more than probable
that it is the same lawless class OF both
countries that have nearly destroyed the
seal industry of the United States in Ber-
ing sea. Americans very often do not
learn that they have had good thing

The Democrats and Populists having
