The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-03-05

The president of Nicaragua thinks the
canal across the continent can only he
completed by the United States Govern
ment; but as Uncle Sam has already had
some costly experience III transcontincnt-
al highways it is not likely that his
nephews will consent for him to take the
burden of such Il gigantic undertaking
upon his shoulders, broad rs they are. In
the meantime while the people of the
United States are hesitating about the
Nicaraguan canal work on the Panama
project is steadily proceeding, and unless
This Government steps in at the last
moment and purchases IA controlling in
terest in the latter, a European power,
in the shape Of France or England, will
dominate the lsthmuS waterway and
leave this country to grieve over neglect
ed opportunities.
The Roanoke times. (Roanoke, Va.) 1897-1977, 1897-03-05

The war in Cuba seems to have reached
n stage where the Cubans have all been
killed or the Spaniards have lost all their
powers of imagination. Victories in
which the Spanish soldiers inflict severe
punishment on the rebels with compare.
lively no loss to themselves are not near
as frequent us a few months ago, and it
is very difficult to tell from the Havana
accounts whether General Gomez is dead
or alive. The new administration in
this country will have IL word or two to
say concerning the Cuban matter very
soon but what will be it's policy is at
present one of the unsolved political en-
igmas of the day.

DANGERS OF THE GRIP.

is Of its resulting in pneumonia If rea-
sonable care is used, however, and Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy taken, all dan
ger will be avoided Among the tens of
thousands who have used this remedy
for la grippe, we have yet to learn of a
single case having resulted in pneumo-
mia, which shows conclusvely that this
remedy IS Il certain preventive of that
dread disease. 1t will effect permanent
cure in less time than any other treat

Copenhagen dispatch says the Danes
are volunteering in large numbers FOR
service in Crete against the Turks. No
doubt the subjects of King William of
Denmark deeply sympathize with the son
of their monarch in his troubles but un-
fortunately for King George Of Greece,
they are too far away to render any very
effective assistance to the soldiers of the
plucky little Hellenic Kingdom.

The new President is in favor of an in
tsrnational monetary conference; but that
is good only ms far as it goes. The con-
ference may not accomplish anything, as
is generally believed; but if the Preside Mt
and his party hope that this will be all
that the people of the United States will
require of them, they are very much
much mistaken.

TWENTY million dollars is the
sum which the French govern
ment proposes to devote to the
Paris exhibition of 1900. Nearly
100000 will be consumed by
the construction of two palaces
IN the Champs Elysees, and those
in the Champ de Mars, in the
Esplanane des invalides and on
the quays. The bridges across
the Seine are to cost $1,000, 900
and electrical services another
81, 100000. In one word, France
proposes to do the whole thing
on q scale of unprecedented mag
nifcence.

1T is the Conscientious belief
of the editor of the Weatherford
Democrat that the good times SO
long hoped for will neverreturn 10
this country until there is an en-
tire revolution in our financial
system which will put enough
money in circulation to meet all
the demands of trade and supply
the wants of the common people.
We have tried 200 cent dollars
long enough. five can get back to
10 cent cotton, with other things
in proportion, this country would
get on such boom as it never
experienced before. We believe
the free coinage of silver at the
old ratio of 16 to 1 with a tariff for
revenue only viii bring the relief
demanded. Let the democratic
party make the fight on that line
and We believe success will crown
their efforts in the election of W.
j. Bryan, in 1900.

The Winsboro Wide-Awake
believes that one solution of the
convict problem is to work all
short term men on the public
highways of the state. Many
good arguments can be ad-
vanced in favor of this system
and not one against it. To work
convicts on the public roads is to
take their labor out of COM
petition with honest labor, and
certainly the pnblic highways of
this state need much work done
on them.
