lowing sketch:
The Roanoke Light Infantry was Or

with forty-fve members. The following
comm .ssioned officers were elected :.

a. Rives, second lieutenant Since the
organization six different captains have
commanded the company. The present
corps of officers is us follows:

men answered TO the roll call, the small

commanded by Capt Hatcher and Lieut.
Hancock. The article on attendance
at drills in last Sundays Times did not
seem TO have the desired effect.
Quite an Improvement has been made
in the armory by the moving Of the room
occupied by the quartermaster to the east
side Of the building. This gives more floor

Low and Corporation Money.

In his speech at the Clermont Avenue
Rink in Brooklyn last week Mr.. Low ut
tered this praise Of the superior virtue of
himself and the other superior and super
fine beings of the Citizens Union:
1.-THE Citizens Union in New York have taken tho
ground that they would not allow their candidateat TO
contribute any money. and neither will they accept
any money from corporations"
AS an ally of Organism Mr.. Low is con-
sistcnt in girding at corporations. Among
his own supporters there Is a sentimental
SOU ad as well as a Socialist squad, and a
yawp emitted against corporations tickles
the souls OF these capital, hating henchmen
of a capitalist. But was Mr.. Lows remark
about the lofty scorn of the Citizens Union
for the money bags of corporations as in
genuous and absolutely and e~ternally vera
cious as the words of a Sunday school
teacher ought to be2 Where does the Citi-
Zens' Union get the money, the mighty big
pile of money, with which it is carrying on
it's war against the business interests of
New York; Who greases the wheelsl
Where do the eminent citizens and
kickors get the money which they dump
into the c.. U. contribution boxes2
They get u good deal of it from corpora
tions. They are, almost to n man, officers
or agents or stockholders of corporations.
A large part of the large contributions to
the cause of virtue and SETH Low is de-
rived from the earnings of corporations.
The Citizens Union cannot be better than
SETH Low, for nothing can be. SETH Low,
as a private citizen, doesn't refuse to take
dividends from corporations. Why should
the Citizens Union. which exists for the
purpose of clarifying and spreading SETH
Low, pretend to look upon corporation
money as tainted2

the straw.yote collector, the jack

leading scores and enjoys an undeserved

American travellers. Aftcrthese itinerants

Bentley men reported that 1T was this way all
through New England"
On steamboats,, especially at times when
they are far from shore, the straw-vote
man has enjoyed a certain immunity. An
other field for his baleful operations has
been the jury room when the jurors were
locked in. In Taylor's Falls, Mich, during
the last political canvass. there was q poll
made of a jury with this result:
"McKlSLEr. o; BRYAN, |; PALMER, H."
The absurdity of such computations,
visible to every one else, is not observed
or observable by the straw-vote idiot.
just now this individual is more than
usually busy taking polls of pedestrians
on crowded streets of New York during
business hours and getting the Mayoralty
preferences of suburban residents who have
no votes in New York. Unquestionably,
SETH Low, whose grotesque canvass has
many elements of appeal to the unsophisti-
Gated, is a prime ~favorite to the straw-poll
idiots; and there need be no great surprise
that he should poll a large vote among
them, or that they should SEQ in him a can
didate very much to their liking.
In like manner WASH HEsING appealed
with almost irresistible force to the straw
poll men Of Chicago; but, as may be remem-
bered. he had on election day in that city a
straw vote. 1t was made up Of straw fol-
lowers. There was no substance to it.

Beyond Georges Grave.

In an election 80 absorbing as that for
Mayor Of New York the shock from the
death Of any leading candidate is felt
throughout the following of all his rivals.
So 1t Is upon the death of HENRY GEORGE,
. man of facile, visionary, but sincere mind,
behind whom the fortunes Of politics had
just arrayed in the Greater New York the
well.nigh solid strength of Organism. 1t Is
= pathetic ending Of a notable career.
Amid the new perplexities and uncertain.
ties which this event has precipitated upon
the campaign there looms up more impress
sive than ever, not at GEORGES grave
where the ghoul of the Citizens Union was
early struggling for the votes Of GEoRoE's
followers, but on its own unmovable basis,
the solid rock OF Republicanism. On that
rest the principles OF the st. Louis platform,
the continuous partisanship Of law and
order and the material prosperity that
clings to them only, the strength Of a power.
full organized party, and the gallant states.
man whose public life makes him as worthy
a representative of the Republican army as
can be found within the city's borders.
Gen. TRACY stands for no man alive
or dead, but for the sound principles Of
democratic government that have under
lain the republic from the beginning, and
for the political dispensation which has
restored industrial life to the United States.
Vote for him for two reasons:
First, because the government of the
Greater New York that will follow his cleo
ton will be better, and more fruitful Of
benefit to the city than any offered by his
rivals.
Secondly, because TRAcY's defeat will
be an injury certainly great, and posi-
bly, fatal, to the cause Of good government
which in 1893 and in 1900 the entire
country must arouse itself to preserve as it
aroused itself in 1896.

to elect him under such circumstances.
The prevalence Of the Low sentiment
among the Republicans has been greatly
exaggerated, as the canvasses OF the reg
istered voters by the party managers,
both here and in Brooklyn, have proved so
conclusively. Inquiries instituted by H
Sun during the last two days confirm the
accuracy of those canvasses by showing
that the Low detection Ia far less important
han it has been represented, and that Gen.
A is holding firmly the great body OF
Republicans.
The Republicans, therefore, have every
reason to remain ~sanguine. The George
movement continues to sap the strength Of
Tammany Hall. Lows vote, such as 1t Is.
will come chiefly from Democrats. The
Republicans have the greater incentive to
hold together because Of the Infamous at.
tempt to disrupt their party, and with
such unity as careful examination shows
to exist at the present time Gen. TRACY will
be elected.
The contest is still between Tammany
and the Republican party, between TRACY
and VAN WICK.

The resolution passed by the Citizens
Union in regard to the death of HENRY GEORGE
is saturated with characteristic hypocrisy.
Here is tho essential part Of It:
1--WE tender to his family our sincere coincidence.
and to his followers the genuine sympathy Of sol.
oilers in the same battle for political supremacy"
The mean and sneaking attempt of SETH Low
and the Mugwump squad to make SETH Low
the political heir Of HENRY GORGE is the most
disgusting thing in the whole Low campaign OF
false pretcnces and sham superior morality.
Why, these fellows who want the rest Of their
community to bow down before them haven,
common decency.

Forward, Republicans!

The Republican campaign will proceed
unchanged in its course by h death Of
HENRY GEORGE.
The calamity which has befallen his
movement affects in no wise the solid Re-
publican army behind Gen. TRACY, except
to provoke natural human sympathy for
men mourning the loss of a leader to whom
they were passionately devoted. That de-
votion will now be transferred to his son,
nominated in his stead.
Gen. TRACY's election is sure with the
Republican party behind him, and, except
ing a detection numerically insufficient for
the accomplishment of q t~reacherous pur.
pose of destroying that party, there is such
unity all along the line.
Never before were the Republicans
of New York fired with a loyalty
to their party SO intense as that
now burning within it, and the spirit
Of Republicans throughout the Union
is infamed with a like enthusiasm of de.
votion. The dastardly treachery which
seeks to stab the Republican party at a
moment when victory awaits it in the
greatest and most influential of American
cities has served only to make stronger the
determination of Republicans to win
against their enemies.
Keep close the line, Republicans, and
march forward to victory next Tuesday!

Tho Weylerists at Havana.

1t may yet be necessary for Spain to en-
ploy her army in Cuba against the Weyler
party there. The leaders of that party
have declared their unyielding opposition
to the policy which the new Captain-Gen-
eral is empowered to put into execution.
They have sent to Spain their protests
against that policy. They have got up
demonstrations against it at Havana. In
proclaiming their determination TO resist
it, they have used threatening language,
even declaring that they will resort to force
to prevent its application. They will have
no autonomy, no reform, no trucking to
the rebels. They are for Weylerism to the
last, backed up by the Havana Volunteers
and the Casino Espahol.
We do not know whether Captain-General
BLANco has the courage to deal with the
powerful elements Of opposition that exist
at Havana, m that have been organized
since WEYLER's downfall. If they attempt
to enforce the declarations which they have
made, he will either have to use his army
against them or surrender to them n no.
tify his Government that he cannot carry
out his orders.
1t is not impossible that SPANS war upon
Cuba may yet be brought to an end in al
unexpected Manner,
OF course WEYLER has done all he could
strengthen the exasperated Weylerlst par.
ty; but he is too big q coward to take the
leadership OF it against BLANCo.

to raise any difficulty as to the cession
Of the Gambia River, with its mar
row strip of territory on either bank,
inasmuch as IL Is surrounded on all
sides by French possessions, and Ii quite
useless to England as a naval or military
station on account Of it's proximity to
the French settlements on the Senegal. 1t
would be different, however, with regard
to Sierra Leone, which Is now a fortified
coaling and naval station, forming q sort
of lair from which English cruisers could
intercept the communications by sea Of
France and other European powers with
their Congo and South African settlements
in time Of war.
Unless one or the other OF the two Govern.
ments is DESTROYS of creating a cause Of
conflict out of this latest African dispute,
it will be Gmicably settled, seeing there are
as yet no established interests in the terri.
tory involved which are liable to be affected
adversely either way. The despatch of force
of regular troops from Lagos to the prox.
unity of the scene of trouble does not nec-
essarily mean an aggressive intention on
the part of the British authorities, and 1t
helps to simplify the situation by bringing
the British and French Governments into
direct relations, instead Of the latter hav.
ing to deal with an unknown factor in the
shape of the Royal Niger Company.

Japan's Cadmean victory.

their country's SUCCESS In the late var with China.
Men that grew suddenly rich during the war, or navo
amassed wealth by taking clever advantage OF the
conditions arising on the sequel OF the " ar. appear to
think that no further eXcrtIons are needed; that the

devote themselves solely TO ease AMI luxury. Yet
the truth is that although the State has undoubtedly
been raised by Its wariike successes to a position OF
consideration In the world. aud has obtained aGmis'
sion to the comfy OF nations. Its difficulties have
been augmented In . very much larger ratio than Its
prestige has been Increased.
