TIE PoPULIsT CONVENTION.

| The State convention OF the 'Peop,e's
party of Virginia which assembled in the
| Opera House yesterday was more largely
attended than vas at one time supposed,
and that it was composed of representa-
tive men from all parts of the common
wealth even casual examination of the
list of members will show. A talk with
any of the.--delegates will demonstrate
that they..are fully posted on the political
situation and thoroughly in earnest in
the advocacy Of the prime Piles which
they profess. They are almost wholly
from the farming districts and know
what legislation they need.
A represer tative of The Times after
mingling freely with the delegates was
struck with the high order of intel,-
gence which prevailed, and is convinced
that in patriotism and sturdy common
sense they will compare favorably with
the same number of men drawn from any
other political organization in the State.
While it is probable that the delibera-
tions of the convention will not be ex-
the city which was so cheerfully extend
ed to the delegates on their arrival will
be continued as long rs a single one re-
mains here. The Times congratulatcs
the convention on the high character of
It's membership and upon the harmony
prevailing during its deliberations. 1t
has held all long that it would be good
politics to give the Peoples party one
place on the State ticket, and it hopes
that~.the Democratic convention which
assemblies here on the 18th of A ugust
will so decide.
On the whole 1t hopes the members of
the Peoples party have seen enough of
Roanoke to strike them favorably, and
that they will carry with them to their
homes as pleasant recollections of the
people here as the latter will have of
them and their visit to the Magic City of
the Southwest.

GOLD IN MEXICO.

A recent dispatch from the City of
Mexico says it is predicted there that
when the gold placer mining is'developed
in the state OF Guerrero more gold will be
taken out than in the Klondyke region.
Some placer-mining is being done with
excellent results, and labor is cheap and
water abundant even in the dry season.
One miner, an old Californian, reports
taking out $24, 900 gold in May, and his
average is $4,000 per month. The In
dams in Sonora, WIN work in crude
way In the local gold placers, only oper-
ating when in pressing need of money, get
large returns for very little labor, and an
explorer who has recently been through
the hottest regions states that Sonora
will equal California in its palmiest days
as gold producer.

Hawaii. The st. James Gazette, which
seems to be very bitter against the cyan
KEGS" pretends to believe that Japan
will resort to war before she will allow
this country to annex the Hawaiian
Islands; but as our British cousins are
still sore over the curtness of Secretary
Sherman's note on the seal question,
many expressions Of opinions from that
side of the ocean will naturally be ke,id-
eddy hostile in tone until they have re-.
gained their composure. Little spells
of irritation frequently happen among
the most devoted OF relatives, but they
are not likely to result seriously unless
one side or the other wantonly provokes a
conflict AS to Japan she may send all
the immigrants she can gather up into
Hawaii, but when the United States de-
cides that they must depart they
will not stand upon the order of their GO
ing, but go at once.

AS the armor producing companies
have declined to furnish the armor need
ed for the three battleships now build
ing, and as there is little prospect for a
combination of the shipbuildi compa-
MES to secure control of enc of the armor

that the only way to complete the war
vessels will be for the Secretary to take
the necessary steps for establishing a
government plant.

Straw mating which is not made in
this country land which in order to pro-
mote reciprocal trade with China and ia
pan. large and growing purchasers of
wheat and flour produced on the Pacific
coast) should be free, has been taxed 7S
per cent, n tax that was levied admit
tedly and solely to deprive the poorer
classes of straw mating and compel them
to purchase in lieu thereof cheaper car
pets.
The daily journals from time to time
have spoken of the growing demand for
American bicycles in foreign markets.
Yet the bill increases the duty on bicycle
tubing, which must be imported. The
duty on window glass has been advanced
to over l25 per cent. There is not sched-
ule in the whole act that some one or
more paragraphs do not show rates of
duty exceeding 100 per cent.
Wien the silk schedule was under con-
sideration it was charged that the com
plicated rates when reduced to the ad va
lorem standard ranged all the way from
30 per cent to 700 per cent. This was
denied by the Republicans, who said the
duty did not exceed 70 per cent. But
when an amendment was offered provid-
ing that the duty should not in any case
exceed 70 per cent. this was voted down
by the Republicans.
This schedule is particular offensive
to China and Japan, with which coun-
tries we nre now doing business in
breadstuffs. One of the leading vices of
this bill is the commercial warfare it
challenges Now that our exports are in
creasing SO much it would seem desirable
to obtain an avenue through which our
surplus might be proftably transmitted,
but the tendency seems to be in the con.
tray direction. In the silk as in the
lineu schedule, and in fact through out
the whole bill, we find high rates upon
cheap ARTICLES and low rates upon eXpen-
sive articles; the poorer class taxed high
and the richer taxed low.
