TO CHANGE THE ISSUE.

Ever since the campaign began Major
have tried to obscure the silver issue and
make the tariff more prominent, but in
this effort they have not succeeded. The
money question has proven the all-impor-
tant one and, willing or unwilling, the Re-
publican candidate has had to face the
music, with what success remains to be
seem That the currency question has
been met in Il manner satisfactory to the
Republican national committee does not
appear, rs it is stated from Washington
that an order has already been sent out
by the managers to shift the money issue
to the tariff for the rest of the campaign.
Senator Butler in speaking of the alleged
change of base by the Republicans says:
"Thc Republicans know that they are
whipped on the money question, and it is
a desperate hope that they may accom-
plish something by turning to the tariff.
Mark Hanna has always had more faith
in the tariff as an issue, and he never
wanted the campaign fought out over the
money question. He was afraid of the
single gold standard, but the men who
are putting up the money for him would
have nothing short of it. Now he has
been whipped on the money question, and
his hackers realize it. They have yielded
to him, therefore, and consented that at
the eleventh hour shift shall be made to
the tariff

President Cleveland discoursed ably at
Princeton on the duties and responsible
ties that college men and educated men
generally owe to the cause of good gov
ernment, but he seemed to lose sight of
the fact that college men. like other citi-
zens, are apt to look ut public questions
from different standpoints, the most i'm
portant force in shaping these views be-
ing early association, environment and
education. College men, no doubt,
WELD wonderful influence, but it is ret
all in one direction. They have their
own views Of good government, just as
other citizens have, and are as liable to
differ among themselves as other people.
Even en- the great political questions of
to-day, what Mr. Cleveland would pro-
nounce us good governmental policy would
be vehemenently denied by some college
men, while Others might be enthusiastic
in support of it. So he will find that men
can differ, and differ honestly, with each
other, and that good government is only
reached by fair and equitable adjust
inert of their various differences.

THAT LETTER.

The Watson letter is still on its travels
or perhaps it has put up at some secure
place, where it may not be heard from
during the canvass. All inquiries so far
have failed to reveal its whereabouts. The
mystery surrounding it has become equal
to the plot of one of Rider Haggnrd' S
novels. Nobody seems to have seen or
heard of it since it left Mr.. Watson S
home in Georgia for the headquarters of
the Populist national committee at Wash
ington; but nobody seems much disturbed
mt its loss. Not even the writer himself
appears to be unduly worried about it.,
and rs he is the only man who can repro
duce the letter, it is just possible that it
will be left to remain undiscovered until
after the third of next November. When
all the secrets of the present campaign
have been revealed, none will be richer
perhaps in grim humor than the story of
this long delayed and much talked of let
ter. Will IL revelation show that some
scribe at Populist headquarters quietly
put the letter where it would do the most
good, or will it finally trnnspire that
owing to technical difficulties in the direc-
ton it has actually gone TO the dead let
ter Office in Washington and is lying
quietly there in some secure corner await
ing Identification: All of these questions
will be answered some day. LII the mean
time Mr.. Watson has not accepted the
nomination for Vice-P:esident and yet
swears he will not retire from the race as
candidate

Number Of illegal votes cast and

West Salem voting precinct not estab-
lished until spring of 1885,
1t can be seen by looking at the official
returns of the vote cast in this county
during the Presidential year of 1892 and
the Congressional year of 1894 that Roa-
noke county went Democratic in 1892 and
Republican in 1894.
The people were told in '94 that the
panic which began in '93 was caused by
the passage of the Wilson-G German tariff,
when in reality it was the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman law
and the subsequent contraction of the
peoples money. Whatever might have
been the prevailing idea at that time it is
NOW patent to all thinking men that the
tariff law had nothing to do with the
hard times and business depression.
What the people want and must have is
more money to carry on the increasing
business of the United States anu to keep
pace with the increase in population,
amounting to about 100000 souls each
year
Roanoke county is naturally Demo
cratic, and although it is claimed by the
Republicans this year by II majority
varying from $50 to 600, it can, with
proper and systematic work, be easily car.
ried by the Democrats. 1t is very impor-
tant that this county should be carried
deal depends on the result of this years
vote. Next fall the State ticket must be
elected, consisting of governor, leuten-
ant governor and Il legislature that will
elect II United States Senator. Let every
Democrat work with all his might from
now until the election day to keep this
county in the Democratic ranks.
Thorough and earnest work from now
until the election will result in Il decided
victory for the Democrats.

GAME Bird SHOOTING.
Training as Necessary For the Shooter as
For the Dog.

Field training is quite as essential for
the master in learning to bring down the
game as for the dog in properly finding
it. No kind of target shooting will take
the place of practice on actual game. y
man may shoot II shotgun capitally over
Il trap, and yet fail miserably in the
field; and, contrariwisc, / have known
good field shots, who, when placed before
IL trap, missed glass balls or clay pigeons
with the most consistent regularity. Of
course trap. shooting can accomplish
something III the way of teaching the
tyro to handle gun properly, but, con-
sidered as mere practice, it is IL very poor
substitute for field shooting and, consid-
cred as sport, it has no rank whatever
If one wishes to keep his hand inn
during the close season, the most enica-
cious plan is 10 shoot at n target with n
rifle. This, indeed is excellent practice
at all times as an aid to wing shooting,
though seemingly the two are so very
different. The value lies in this, that
rifle shooting teaches one the necessity of
accurate aiming, which the bird shooter
is apt carelessly TO overlook, and corrects
the tendency to jerk the trigger prema-
turely, which persons of nervous tenn
permanent are prone to acquire, particu-
larry in woodland shooting.
MANY Il man uh'ier the stress OF excite
ment incident TO the. flushing OF game
acquirest the bad habi of habtual and
almost involuntary snap-shooting, reg
ularly pulling the trigger as soon as the
gun.is at shoulder, though he may be
fully aware an instant later that the aim
was nowhere near the bird. Rifle prac-
tice, better than anything else, will tend
to correct this, teaching the almost auto
matte mental mechanism that governs
one at the moment of snap-shooting, to
demand at least an approximately accu-
rate aim before releasing the trigger OF
course no successful handler of the shot

to .be.absolutely rile-like, but the more

the fuller will be his game bag, on an

Above is II picture OF another of the
thousands of well. known citizens whom
Paine's Celery compound has made well.
Chief Postoilice Inspector NJ. ID. Wheeler,
of Washington, ID. c., writing TO the
proprietors of this most wonderful cura-
tive, says:

one should learn-that putting heart and

threats against the person of the Secre-

of the crowd became so threatening that
the mayor had to detail IL squad of police
to escor. Mr. Carlisle to his hotel. AS he

said that he is likely to meet with SINH
lar scenes wherever he appears, the out
look before him must be anything but
pleasant. 1t is hoped the friends of free
coinage will have the good sense to re-
press all unseemly ebullitions, but it is
plain, from the temper of the people, that
the "sound money" advocates are not as
strong as they have pretended, and that
when the ballots are counted on the third
of November Kentucky will be found to
be in the Bryan column by Il safe majority.

The Republicans have been claiming
Kentucky, Missouri, West Virginia and
Maryland for Mckinley, but late returns
fully expose the weakness of these claims.
In the first named State they have de-
scended completely from their high horse
and in Kentucky it is the same way.
West Virginia grows stronger for Bryan
every day, and in Maryland, which is the
only one of these States ever in doubt,
Senator Gorman's strong stand has COM
pletely turned the tide towards the silver
candidate. Hence all the calculations
which give any of these States to Mcllin
ley will have to be changed to conform to
the real situation.
