ROANOKE'S FUTURE.

Mckinley has been inaugurated and
Democracy is out of power. The prosper
ity promised with the election of Re.
publican President is not so very appa-
rent as yet; but there Is time for it to
come in the next four years. y great
many sensible people do not believe that
protection and prosperity are synony
nous, but they are willing to give the adj
vocates of II high tariff another chance
and wait reasonable time for develop
ments. The experience of the past does
not justify these expectations, so far as
the Mckinley tariff is concerned, but the
American people are patient AMI long
suffering, and the opponents of the adj
ADMINISTRATION have already resolved not to
throw any obstacles in the way of such
Legislation as the party in power believe
will promote the public interests. While
they have decided on this course they will
be none the less watchful as to the effects
OF legislation, and are resolved to hold the
new administration responsible for any
failure that may result from the enforce
ment Of Republican doctrine. However,
the people Of the United States have de-
termined, regardless of political parties
and their plans and political purposes, TO
do their best TO bring on better times,
and those of Roanoke and Southwest Nir-
ginia are just as resolute in that direction
as the rest Already there are some signs
of better times, and it is reasonable to be.
lieve that people as energetic and thrifty
as those OF this country will not stand
idly waiting for an improvement in the
business situation.
The history of the world shows that
men are capable of making events con-
form to their wishes and aspirations, and
no people in the world rally more rapidly
from the most extraordinary period OF
depression than those OF this country
The financial conditions may be all
wrong, and there may have been mis-.
management in every line of public poll
icy; but when great nation like this
tires OF inactivity, which only adds to the
wants and sufferings of the people gem
orally, and rises in its might to bring
about change in the situation, some
thing for the better is almost sure to fol-
low.
Besides this general resolve to be up
and doing, it has at last become necessary
for repairs and renovations in all direc-
tions, which OF themselves will call for
the expenditure of money and the cxcr
else OF energy. Hence, when all things
IRE considered, it is reasonable to expect
that the country is on the eve of more
prosperous era, and the signs are not
lacking that the people of this city and

The governor of Nevada Indignantly
denies the report that the legislature of
that State will have magnificent silver
belt made for presentation to. the victor
in the coming prize fight. He says as
far rs he is informed no such presenta-
ton is intended, but he unhesitatingly
ayel that if the Legislature should so far
forget all the dictates of decency and
common sense as to compromise the
honor and dignity of the State by passing
such bill that under no circumstances
would he sign it. The governor is evil

section have already entered into the
spirit of the movement for better times.
That the latter will he fully alive to all
the demands of the situation the..past his,
tory Of Roanoke abunduntly proves.
They have built city here in the South
country, and have shown themselves
worthy,in prosperity and adversely of be-
ing the founders of II great and prosper
GUS community. The misfortunes they
have met with have not daunted them in
the least, but, on the"s.contrary, have
taught them lessons of economy and self
denial which are destined to be of great
benefit to them in the end. Indeed the
outlook, so far as they are concerned, is
bright and promising.
The Norfolk and Western Railway
Company is employing more men and
doing heavier business than at any time
in the history of the road. THE. 81 800, 600
paid to the laboring people of Roanoke
during the past twelve months in the way
of salaries and wages, have largely re-
duced the individual debts of the people,
who in hundreds of instances have been
able to make the final payments towards
removing the mortgages upon their
homes. They have liquidated. debts ap-
proXmating two millions of dollars dur
ing the past three years: have worked
hard and lived according to the most
rigid rules of economy. No people under
the sun more cheerfully pay their obliga
possible to do so, and when the history of
the dark period in the history of the city
from 1891 to 1896. shall have been writ
ten, it will stand Il monument to their
hopefulness and to the persistent, never
firing energy with which they labored,
while struggling under an avalanche of
debt with an impenetrable cloud of gloom
before them.
Their hopes never deserted them; their
energies never failed them, during this
dark and trying period. What they have
had to contend with in the past five years
would have destroyed the hopes and par
alyzed the energies Of less heroic and
determined people; but as there is sill
yer lining to every cloud, so the signs all
point to a better condition for the people
of Roanoke. Those who have been able
to weather the storm should prepare to
take advantage of the improved situation
Property is now purchasable at rates
that will'enable all who have not done so
to secure homes for themselves and their
families. If they were able to live during
the period of depression, they can certainly
do SO in the future; hence those who are
permanently located here should spare nc
effort to add to their comfort and happi-
ness in that line. Vacant lots and build
ing material will not be as cheap for a
long time. 1t is the duty, and should be
the ambition, of every man first of all to
own & house and lot, and after that it will
be easier for him to add to his comforts
and cOnyeniences, as we'll as to help in
crease his other accumulations.
Roanoke is already the metropolis OF
the Southwest, and is surely destined to be
one CT the foremost cities of the State in
wealth and population.

EXEUNT GROVER.
Written for The Times by j.

Oh Grover, Father Grover to whom the
mugwumps pray;
The mugwumps aim, the cuckoos claim,
have thou i'll charge this cay.
When this days sun its course has run
you'll seek obscurty;
On goes the dance, for in finance you've
left Il legatee
In Marcus a., who won the day with gold
aud trusts,
With rule or "bust;n begone futurity
No more the lighthouse tender shall steam
across the bay;
The ducks and geese shall sail ut ease, for
Growers had his day.
No more among the islands, with fishing
rod and gun,
That Jolly crew their sports renew, with
well-filed demijohn.
No more shall savage Weyler reek muir
der mt his will;
No more the bloody Spaniard the PATRIOTS
blood shall SPILL
No more shall Biount, though para
mount, set up n throne for Lii.
We put friend Dole into Il hole, though
this good queen had said,
When Grover put her again in clover she
would cut off his head
No more again the endless chain shall
rake the gold reserve,
Or let j. u. 50 easily rake in Tie bonds
and pelf,
Or, rs some think, divide the chink by
raking some yourself.
Now gone are all your glories, your hunt
ing trips are gone;
You'll sail away to Buzzasd's Bay To-
mediate alone.
No more shall Cuckoo yivas re echo this
refrain:
Oh Grover Father Grover, when shall
we meet again
Now gone are all your vetoes OF soldiers
pensions strong,
And Palmer's wall floats on the gale like
note of dying swan.
One little flower Oh your grave in solitude
shall grow,
For twisting well the Lions tail, inspired
by James Monroe.

tude and shame,
