Is there some mysterious relationship
between hard times and fire losses, or is
it merely a coincidence that those losses
are greatest when business is dull and
lowest when trade is prosperous? The
inquiry is suggested by comparison Of
the returns for the last three years. The
fire losses for the first eight months of
1897 amounted to $7l ,091 200, as against
$S1, 5SS, 05D for the corresponding period
of 1896 auh SS5, 81 /, 900 for the same Pc
Rod in 1895. Thus it appears that these
losses touched the highest level during
the business depression of 1855. and have
since steadily declined rs trade has i'm
proved. e These can hardly be regarded as
the results of chance, but are more likely
attributable to definite causes. The show
ing is certainly remarkable, and it offers
an interesting problem to students oil
economic conditions.

THE FACTS OF THE CASE.

Those friends (g) of The Times who de.
light to whisI er in the ears of their
neighbors that the paper is nothing but
mugwump Populistic Republican
sheet, whose constant aim is the over
throw of Democracy, are just now espe-
cially busy in their self-imposed duty of
damning the. aud praising them
selves.
For more than year before the Chi
cago convention The Times was advocat-
ing the doctrines there accepted as the
faith of a new and reinvigorated Democ-
racy, and while the local savants.() who
now sit in Judgment on The Times De-
mocracy were. fltundering in the dark and,
either from want of courage to speak
their convictions, or want of intelligence
to possess opinions continued in n semi
comAtose state of innocuous desuetude
until the Chicago convention struck n
match and dispelled the darkness that
encompassed them. They discovered by
the light FROM Chicago that The Times
instead of being an enemy to Democracy
had been it's friend and advocate when it
needed friends and when the little band
of Office seekers that now assumes to
Issue certificates of Democracy failed to
develop courage enough TO take manly
stand.
We are coolly told by those machine
grinders that to accept the faith and fight
for the principles Of Democracy is not
enough to make man Democrat, and
that the true and only test of mans
Democracy is a vote for every candidate
for constable, drunk or sober, the "boys"
may trot out. They boldly proclaim that
Democracy is rot school of doctrine to
any theory of gov eminent and still be n
Democrat provided he votes for the can.
didate for consta BILE put out by the ma
chine. While many good men and friends
of The. Times will vote for the Salem
ticket they will have no tears to shed if
it is defeated. For the sake of party reg
ularity many will take the nauseating
dose and cherish the hope that the party
may, within it's own ranks. organize a
force strong enough to drive out the dem
agogues and job dealers who have usurped
the temple
The worst enemies of Democracy are
those within it's ranks who are willing to
besmirch it's name in order to promote
schemes for personal aggrandizement.
When such men can put their puppets
in Office they are accomplishing what
they conceive to he the main purpose OF
party organization. Against such men
and such methods The Times protests,
and if not in the name of the Democratic
orgaulzn tion of Roanoke surely in the
name of all tina, is Democratic and it will
continue to protest.
The temple of Democracy in Roanoke
has been invaded by the party's worst
enemies. The ambitious and hungry
band that now .musters :in its halls must
be driven out before it can be made fit for
the uses for which it was constructed.
Such men have mo political convictions
and i'll too many instances no conscience
They are for the Offices and for the inter
ests of those who contribute to the cam
paign fund. Such men will swear allie
glance to any platform and preach any
faith that promises them the jobs If
Mark Hanna should walk through Vir
ginia with a Democratic banner in his
hat they would bow before him and call
him political Allah.
