THE APPROACHING MUNICIPAL ELEC-

As Is we'll known, THE TIMES is not
believer in drawing party lines in
municipal matters. There are in all
political parties place-huuters who.
though not always endowed with either
brains or patriotism, are we'll stocked
with cunning and selfshness, and who are
ever ready to raise the red flag OF poll
itical strife, hoping by their noise and
bluster to gain the recognition of their
party and thus place themselves in q
position to secure some job, such as
their true worth would not entitle them
to. Both of the great political parties
are afflicted with parasites OF this order.
and doubtless to these we are indebted
for the injection Of politics in our
municipal matters. Roanoke city is q
business corporation and should be
managed as such, and, If THE TIMES
mistake not, there is very large and
most intelligent element in the city who
recognize this and who will, when they
approach the polls, throw party lines to
the dogs and cast their votes for such
men as they think will serve them best

but he is short on bottom. While he
is capable of making sprightly dash,
the indications are that he has not sufa-
cient staying force to carry him home
on time. He is young, however. and
when his bones shall have become
hardened he may develop into good
racer.
In the race for the corporation clerk

LOCAL POLITICAL GOSSIP.

Friends of Candidate McCle Hand urge
his election to the office of mayor be-
cause he has been 80 long chairman Of
the finance committee OF the City Coun-
Gil and consequently thoroughly
familiar with matters pertaining 10 the
city's financial condition. Friends Of
Candidate Lockett urge his election to
the off1ce Of mayor because Candidate
McClelland's long familiarity with the
citY's finances hasn't left g million in
the city's treasury by q jug full-and
there you are. Candidate McClelland's
most bitter political enemies testify to
his perfect integrity. but they assert
that many good men hnAncier down
hill-and then point with grim smile
to q not very pletboric city treasury.
McClelland's friends say Lockets has
been after Office since he was q boy and
should not have 1t. Lockett's friends
cay McClelland has been In Office for
half generation and should get out
and there you are.
1t 70, however, some consolation to
know that whatever the result on cleo
ton day, he who casts his undimmed re-
Hector to the rear will not fail to OBJ
serve that we are getting on higher
ground.

BY q vote of 81 to the Senate last
week determined to begin an investiga-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland's transactions
in bonds. This decision no doubt will
grieve those persons who look upon the
President as the foremost and only
protector of the credit OF the nation and
who regard his borrowing performances
ss among the most brilliant financial
achievements in history. The move
ment will seem particularly scandalous
because the resolutions may be thought
to imply that the operations are not
wholly free from dissgreesble suspicion.
But, after all, Mr.. Cleveland did not
borrow upon his own account. He will
not have to pay the bonds. That en-
gsging function will devolve upon the
taxpayers, who may. therefore, be suI-
posed to have some sort OF q right,
shadowy. perhaps, but still right, to
look into the matter. There are sew
eral points about the business which
appear to need explanation. The SEN
ate committee will desire to ask where
Mr.. Cleveland Obtained his authority to
issue bonds for payment Of the current
expenses OF the Government. Congress
never passed law giving him such
authority; and IL, without warrant OF
law, he can borrow 262 millions, why
can he not borrow 1000 600 millions
Possibly he will before he retires from
office. And then some prying people
will vans to know why he made secret
contract to give certain bankers bonds
at certain price, instead of advertising
for bids, and why he sold to them at 1O4
or Whereabouts bonds which were worth
lit in the open market. No doubt Mr..
Cleveland and his friends will regard
such inquiries as impairment and in
trusive; but. still, as this ia the peoples
business, the probe should be thrust
deep until the facts are discovered -

Because it's just a passing whim.

And then what have you gained by all
this expenditure Of time and money!"
But don't see. Mr.. Slimmins, wha.
reason you can have for regarding the
bicycle a mere fad"
My reason is the disfavor toward It
that is already appearing. Where
everybody was once talking about its
being good exercise, people are COM
ing out and denouncing it. Bicycles
are being more abused every day.
Don't you agree with me?"

With the exception, possibly, Of the

Of birds. The well-known exploits Of

following instance is SO unique, how
ever. that l will give it:
In the fall Of 1861 a gentleman of
Vincennes, Ind, visited his father at
Lebanon, KY. When he started to re-
turn home his father gave him yoke

Fishermen are well aware of the fact
that certain fish choose localities for

IRRIGATION IN UTAH.
Fresno Expositor: Probably the Nor

fortunes of privation irrigation works
mainly to the fact that this feature OF
their institutions was established at a
time when none of their people pos
