A REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.


The Republican Senators will hold a
caucus Monday after the adjournment of
the Senate to consider various questions
in connection with the tariff bill. Some
of the schedules are Objectionable to many
OF the Senators, and the suggestion has
been made that it is advisable to settle
such differences in caucus rather than in
open Senate.
The principal object of the caucus,
however, is to agree upon plan for the
limitation of the time for debate, and I'M
der the present rules it is recognized that
this can tie done only by mutual consent.
What the tariff leaders will first attempt
is to secure an agreement among Repub-
lican Senators to restrain any desire they
may have tor general speeches, and thus
throw the responsibility for whatever de-
lay that may occur upon the opposition.
So far rs agreed upon the programme
is to have Senator Aldrich make his state
ment on Monday or Tuesday of next week
and to follow this by Immediately taking
up the schedules and making no other set
speeches on the Republican side of the
chamber. If this plan could be Endorsed
by a caucus it would, of course, be mate
rally strengthened. There are now indi-
cations that the debate may not he so
greatly prolonged as ut first seemed prob
able. The Democrats, ..Populists and sill
yer Republicans all aver that they will
consume no unnecessary time with
speeches. The Democrats profess to be
especially anxious that there should be
no delay.

Another application for licens to con-
duct bar room in the Adams Express
building on Campbell avenue in the name
of A. HI. Boitnott, who is barkeeper for
F.. r. Woodward, has been made to Judge
Woods, who promptly refused to grant
the same on the ground that it was not
proper place for a saloon. An appeal
was then taken to the circuit court ard
the case will be heard by Judge Dupuy
tomorrow morning. The Times is most
emphatically opposed to granting this
license for reasons already given, and
feels confident that Judge Dupuy will
dispose of it as in the first instance.
Roanoke has enough saloons already and
within block of the place at which it is
proposed to start this one there are three
or four others in successful operation.
The great majority of the property own
ers and business men on Campbell ave-
nue. between Jefferson and Henry streets
are opposed to having saloon Mt the
point designated, and if put to vote of
the citizens of Roanoke the proposition
would he voted down by large majority.
1t is hoped Judge Dupuy will bear these
facts in mind and act accordingly.

fought we'll at first they could not hold
their own against the desperate valor of
the Turks. Greece made great mistake
in going to war; but the people had no con-
ception of magnitude of tho task before
them until they tackled the Turks. They
then began TO wish they were at home,
and, what was worse, their young COM
mander seemed to want to get back to
Athens as much as the rest of his army.
Greece had better accept almost any
terms than to continue the war.

FORTITUDE.


One of the most admirable traits in hu-
man character is forttude. Patience I'M
der misfortune and disappointment is
proof OF innate strength whenever exhib-
tied and tue person or the people gifted
with this quality are superior to their
surroundings. They have in themselves
n reserve force upon which they can draw
under the most adverse circumstances
and which according to the degree of it's
possession elevates them above the aver
age of humanity. The ordinary life of
man has it's full quota of SORROWS and
suffering, AID it is often the severest
trials that purify the soul and fit the in.
dividuai for the greatest happiness. If
we would wear the crown we must bear
the cross. To prove himself worthy of
honor man must show that he merits
the rewards bestowed upon him. The
clouds produce the rains that moisten
the earth and make it fruitful; 80 it is
that the tears of misery soften the soul
and render it pliable to the ..m.uldings
of Divinity.
The man who has most things shaped
to his wishes cannot appreciate the cray
ings and necessities of others. His face
maybe faultless and his form perfect,
but he is like The embossed figure upon "a
medallion, hard and insensible to the

President Mckinley has decided to at
tend the Nashville Exposition on the 18th
of next month, but will take the Southern
route, and thus the people of Roanoke
will not have the pleasure ..of seeing him,
unless he should decide to take in this
city on his return to Washington, which
it is hoped he will do. President Harri-
son honored Roanoke by his presence
once, but Mr.. Cleveland never passed
through the city, although his once great
Democratic rival, David B. Hill, stopped
here short time while enroute To Geor-
gia.

touches that caress it. 1t is law of life
none is really worthy of prosperity until
he has shown himself superior to adver-
sity. No truly great deed has ever been
performed unless nurtured by anxiety or
done in danger The history of the HUI
man race, individually .and collectively,
bears out this assertion. The evolution
from savagery to civilization has been q
constant record OF trial and suffering.
The very religion upon which all our
hopes of Immortality rest is founded upon
the fact that one great and good Being ty
His death uponthe cross exptaled the sins
of monkind; while to enjoy the blessful
hereafter it has been decreed that all men
must die.
We begin life with a wall and erd it
with groan. Attachments are hardly
formed before they are rudely severed.
Father, mother. sister, brother, and loved
one after loved one drop by the wayside
as we journey through life, until Mt last
the end comes to us. To ignore the les
sons taught is the height of folly. In the
very nature of things existence here is
transitory and uncertain; while each and
every happening point to better and
higher life. "Now we see through glass
darkly; but then we shall see face to
face" If we profit by the lessons taught
all will be we'll. If we neglect the golden
opportunities all will be wrong. To ,se-
cure the greatest rewards men should be
capable of the highest things, and so as
patience under suffering softens the heart
and subdues the soul, SO, if we bear the
ills of life with fortitude superior to all
the arrows of misfortune, we will be
worthy of that Inheritance ''thnt fades
not away, but is eteI nally in the
heavens"

INDEPENDENCE OR ANNEXATION.

Whatever course the President may
decide to take in the matter of acknowl-
edging the belligerency of the Cuban
rebels or the absolute independence of the
people, it is evident that Spain will never
voluntarily consent to the sale of the is.
land. Four hundred million dollars, the
amount which it is said will be offered
Spain to acknowledge the independence
OF Cuba, is large sum; nut as the United
States would have to guarantee its pay
ment this would mean eventual annexa-
ton. 1t may not he just from uu inter-
national standpoint for the United States
to take Cuba from Spain; but it is very
evident that public sentiment in this
direction. The people here are tired of
Spanish atrocities, and, besides, the com
mercial interests of this country are seri-
ously suffering blythe prolongation of the
strife in Cuba. They appreciate the won

the influence of American enterprise and

The Militia Encampmen

The encampment of the militia at
Broadmoor is a matter of far more i'm
portance than a majority of people think.
A great many of the eastern states have
their militia camp out for one or two
weeks every summer, and as the strictest
kind of discipline is enforced, the most
excellent results have followed in the
steadiness and soldiery qualities of the
guardsmen from their being subjected,
even for such short time, to the routine
of soldiers life as it occurs in actual
practice in the tented field. Our men
have had good experience of this kind
of thing during the late trouble at Lead
vile, and the guard certainly showed
good qualities in their conduct there.
The purpose of an encampment is not to
give the boys good time, and to let
them have pleasant holiday, but it is a
period of study in the stern school of the
soldier. and the results, it is to be hoped,
will be borne in mind. One thing which
the militia needs very badly is good ex-
ercise in the setting up drill teaching
them to stand straight, to push their
shoulders back and to avoid the bicycle
curvature of their spines SO common to
all clvilians.-Colorado Springs Tele-

The conference between Admiral
Bunce, commander of the New York
navy yard, Commander Chadwick, chief
of the equipment bureau, Naval Con-
structor Dashiel and Acting Secretary of
the Navy Roosevelt this week was an i'm
portant one. The plan proposed at that
conference relative to the construction
of dry docks of sufficient capacity to ac-
commodate our new battleships, is not
without strong justification. The recent
overhauling of the Indiana in Canadian
dry dock called the public attention to
the ridiculous position III which our navy
is placed. The importance of immedi-
ately preparing suitable provisions for
the future was strongly dwelt apon and
hence the conference. While no plans
are yer accepted as satisfactory an initial
step has been taken and it may be hoped
that in the near future we will be inde-
pendent in that particular of nation
with whom we are constantly engaged in
argument savoring of belllgerency.

The Worlds Wheat Crop.

The London Economist in reviewing
the European wheat crop gives the fol-
lowing statistics:
The French wheat crop is 10000 900
bushels less than the crop Of 1896; the
Italian wheat crop is short 32.ooo.ooo
bushels; there is similar shortage in the
Hungarian wheat crop; Russia is short
in wheat and rye; in Roumania, Bulgaria
and European Turkey the crop is 80 per
cent short; Germany has nearly normal
crop, while there is good crop in Hol
land, Belgium, Denmark, Sweden and
Spain. Summing up, the Economist
puts the deficiency of this years Euro
pean wheat crop below that of last year
at certainly 10000 900 bushels. 1t says
the United States are relied upon to
make up this shortage, as neither Austri-
ALA nor India will have any surplus, and
Argentine is as yet an unknown quantity.
This makes good outlook for Ameri-
can wheat for this year and partially for
next, for the worlds surplus will prob
ably be lower when the next harvest
comes in than it has been before for
years. The crop for the United States
is placed at 55o,oooooo bushels. From
this the worlds deficits will be made
good and the American farmer will reap
the benefit.
