The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-06-03

Senator Smith, of New Jersey, indig-
nantly denies the newspaper charge read
by Senator Tillman that he had been spec
ulating in Sugar stock during the pending
tariff bill. He speaks Of "Pitchfork s" de-
liverance On that occasion as II remark
able one, and calls Mr.. Tillman the spon-
sor for the clipping; but, if the man from
South Carolina does not yet impale him
upon the tine of his agricultural imple-
ment on the first opportunity, the people
of this country are very much mistaken
in their estimate of his vocabulary.

SUGAR INQUIRY.
Some Senator'S Desire an Investigation by
Standing Committee.

Standing Committee.
Washington, June 2.-There will be an
effort ON the part of some Senators to.
have the Senate committee on contingent
expenses amend the Tillman resolution
for an investigation of the charges that
Senator's have been specializing in sugar
stocks so rs to have the inquiry made by
standing cor mittee rather than by q
special committee, as provided in the res
olution.
Objection is made on the part of some
OF the Republican Senator'S to having the
Craftsmanship of the committee go to a
Democrat, AS it would if the author of
the resolution should be given his post.
While this is parliamentary practice, it is
not always followed in the Senate.
The resolution under which the inquiry
of 1894 WIS conducted was introduced by
Senator Lodge, though the original reso-
luton leading up to the Investigation was
presented by Senator PETER. Senator
Peffer was not given place on the COM
mittee and Senator Lodge was given the
place next to the last. 1t was suggested
by those who object to "a special commit!
tee that the investigation should he made
either by the committee on privileges and
elections or the committee on judiciary.

South Carolina, now that her dispensary
law has been declared unconstitutional,
can still fall back on prohibition, as
Judge Simonton's decision does not annul
the frat section of the law, which prohib.
it's the sale or manufacture of liquor in
the State by individuals. The decision
will, it is said, leave the State with about
$3.50, 900 worth of liquor which it will
find difficulty in disposing of. AS the
imbibing powers of the constables and
oSher dispensary officers are said to be of
considerable magnitude &c may be that
these liquors will be duly disposed OF in

WHY SETTLE IN THE SOUTH ?

The question is frequently asked, "Why
do men, who are seemingly settled in
comfort in the. N orth, become dissatisfied
and wish to make Il new home in the
South" Probably--the correct answer to
this question is that the experience of the
past few years has demonstrated to the
Northern farmers that very little beyond
mere existence can be earned upon the
farms of the extreme North, and that
even this result is reached through trials
and privations. The very cold weather,
the recuri ence OF billiards., the repeated
failure OF crops, have all tended to render
the Northern farmer a very much dis
couraged individual
In the South he can buy land very
much cheaper, he is almost entirely un-
troubled by billiards. or cold weather. he
can live in honse that costs scarcely
one quarter of the amount required in the
North, and find great deal more com
fort and great deal less OF anxiety an

The decision of Judge Simonton, of the
United States circuit court, that the
South Carolina dispensary law of 1897 is
in direct conflict with the interstate add
foreign commerce laws, and therefore null
and void. is likely to break up the State
saloon monopoly, and deprive the COM
monwealth of a fine source of revenue, as

THE CURRENCY COMMISSION.

The programme of the Republican man
ayers, In accordance with the wishes of
the administration, contemplates, it is
said, the passage of an act, Immediately
after the tariff is disposed Of, authorizing
the President to appoint a currency COM
mission, to nuke an investigation and re-
port recommendations for the improve
ment of our monetary system. 1t is be.
lieved that the President sincerely favors
such n commission; but the do nothing
policy of the House, pending action on
the tariff bill, has been egarded by ):ne
as antagonistic to the desire of The Pres.
ident in this respect 1t is intended by
the administration that the commission
shall be authorized before the adjourn
ment of the present Congress, so that the
members may be appointed and do the
work required Of them in the recess be-
tween the extra and the regular Deem
Der session. The silver forces will not
probably, oppose the proposition to au-
thorize currency commission; but will
insist on the incorporation of some of
ohcil iucuS ih1o ene pun. AS the matter
Is now understood, the intention of the
Republicans is to provide for the appoint
ment of n commission solely by the Pres
ident. The opposition in Congress, how.
ever, will insist that all parties shall be
represented on the commission, and that
the silver representatives shall be chosen
by their own party in the House and Sem
ate instead of leaving the choice to the
President. They are willing for the
President to appoint majority of the
commissioners, but will insist that the
minority shall be selected in the manner
above stated. AS the Senate now stands
it Will be almost impossible to pass the
bill unless some concessions are made to
the minority, which should be done, of
course, or the measures recommended by
the commission will fail when the people
are asked to ratify them.

The rush for consular positions has

I'm Richmond-The Question OF q
Division Not Now Likely to he
GIven Much Consideration.

Great interest is felt among Virginia
Methodists in the approaching annual
conference, which convenes in Danville
on Wednesday morning, the nth In
slant, and will continue until the BUSH
ness TO come before the body shall have
been disposed of. The sessions promise
to be Of unusual Importance. Between
go and 800 delegates will be In attend
ance, and the conference will be pre-
sided over by Bishop Oscar p. Fitzger-
aid. that gifted and scholarly prelate
from Tennessee.
The question that agitated the con-
ference four years ~ago-namely, h d.
vision of the conference by the line OF
the James river-will receive little at
tention at this session. The main rea-
son for a division was to save part or
the Virginia Conference territory then
inside the State of North Carolina. That
part was taken away from the Virginia
Conference by act OF the General Con-
ference, so the reason for a division has
ceased.
The policy of the conference for the
future is to let go to the neighboring
conference outlying parts, and retain a
great, strong body called the Virginia
Conference.
