traced TO the Jealousy Of a younger and

Terry.
Others, however, just as stoutly main
tain that Miss Terry has nothing 20 do
with the matter out that the reason
for Miss Arthur's dismissal is that she
did not altogether realize Sir Henry
Irvings expectations.

CLEAN UP AND BEAUTIFY.

AS sanitary measure and as beau
tifier of their premises, it is respectfully
suggested to the people of this City that
they give their yards II thorough cleaning
up and distribute lime freely in all the
needed places. The summer season is at
hand. and, while statistics prove that
Roanoke is one of the healthicst cities in
the United States, il is of paramount i'm
portance that all back yards and alleys
should be cleaned up and we'll lined at
this season of the year. Fortunately for
the health of the people, the weather for
the past month or more, has ..been very
dry; but, once let a rainy spell set in,

may work seriously in the way of pro.
ducing sickness here. In view of these
facts, and because of the approaching
Democratic State convention, when Roa-
noke should look her best, it is very i'm
portant that thorough cleaning up
should take place here and that every
thing should be done by the people indi-
vidually and by the officers of the mu.
nicipality to beautify thu city and add to
the comfort and pleasure of the visitors.

poPUL1sr FOR SECOND PLACE.


The movement TO put Populist on the
Democratic State ticket to be nominated
by the convention which is to meet here
in August next is rapidly gaining
strength with the people of Virginia. 1t
is understood that Senators Daniel and
Martin and other prominens Democratic
leaders favor this policy, and it seems to
be agreed that the Office of lieutenant gov
ernor will be the position asst gned to the
Populists. This is n fair and just recog-
milton of the services rendered Mr.. Bryan
in the last election by the Populists of
this State who contributed largely to the
1887 votes which constituted the Dem
ocratic plurality in Virginia last year,
and which votes were given from princ-
pie, without any hope of reward, except
in the..desire for the public welfare.
Gratitude as we'll as motives of policy
strongly suggests that the Peoples party
should be recognized in the manner indi-
Gated by the Democrats of Virginia in the
coming State election and by so doing it
will render futile all efforts of any com.

the fact that many Populists are ut heart
better Democrats than some who parade
their Democracy and talk loudly of party
fealty while carrying around in their
pockets a petition for some office, which
those in power are able to bestow. In
connection with the proposed nomination
of a Populist for lieutenant governor by
the Democratic State convention, quite a

fled for the position. Among these may
be mentioned Major Mann Page, of
Amelia county, Major r. " Gaines, of
Charlotte, and Col. Thomas Goode, of
Mecklenburg. Besides these there are
other prominent Populists in this State
who would fill the office with creditsto
themselves and the party they represent,
as we'll as to the satisfaction of all the
people of Virginia. In the interest of
true Democracy and of "a thorough union
of all the friends of free coinage in the
State, it is hoped that the proposed nom

noke convention, and that the combined
ticket then nominated will be triumph.
