FOR SANGULLY'S RELEASE.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Senate com
mutee on foreign relations gave the San
gully case full consideration tiis morn
ing, the subject coming before the com
mittee on the joint resolution of Senator
Call, directing the President To demand
his immediate release. The correspond.
ence. which has been sent to the Senate,
was thoroughly gone over, but the com.
mittec finally agreed TO postpone action
until tomorrow, so the State Depart
ment could respond to the committee $
query rs whether there had been any re-
cent developments in the case.
The case appears, in the opinion of the
committee, to he an aggravated one and
it is said that the sentiment of the com
mittee is favorable to II recommendation
for the passage Of Mr. Calls resolution.

Mrs. Cleveland and the little girls are
Princeton, N. j., where everything is be-
ing put in splendid order for their recep
ton. Whatever else may he said about
the outgoing President he cannot be ac-
cused of neglecting to provide for his
family. He has at least four elegant homes
in different parts of the country, and as
his individual fortune is estimated up in
the millions, he has no reason to think
that in his case the republic has been un-
grateful. On the contrary it seems to be
the general opinion that the country has
done just as much for President ..Cleve-
land as he hns for it; in fact possibly a
little more.

The measure was drawn up by the officers

ally taken kindly to all innovations of n

In appointing Mr.. Sands commissioner

President in the matter is general. Mr..

a lawyer he stands well at the bar; but it
is said that his criticism of the Con.

Major Mckinley is having such hard
time selecting a Southern Republican for
his Cabinet that it might not he amiss
for him to go outsdessof the party to get
the right kind of man. Hays selected
as his postmaster general Jud ges Key, of
Tennessee. who was not only a Democrat,
but had been prominently identified with
an excellent officer, notwithstanding his
anti.union record, and there are thou
sands like him in the South swho would
serve the country with fidelity and eff
without any sacrifice of principle. Zone
reason why true reconciliation has been
so long delayed was the failure of the Re-
publican party soon after the war to
adopt a manly and generous policy to-
wards the people of the South. If instead
of subjectng them to suspicion and hui
Mutations they had trusted to their hon.
csty and manhood and distributed pat
ronage more literally among the young
men of this section, they would have es
tablished IA neuclus for making Republic
canifm respectable in the South which
would have led to the most beneficial re-
suits for the whole country. 1t is not too
late now to strengthen the bonds of the
Union by II liberal policy on the part of
the incoming administration towards the
people of this section, and if Major Nc
Kinlcy desires to be the father of an era
of real good feeling between the sections,
he should select one or two strong con-
sentative Southern men without regard
to party for positions in his cabinet.

The plank sidewalks in many parts of
the city are sadly in need of repair, and,
while in the present condition of munich
pal finances we would not appear unrea-
sonably captious or critical in such mat.
ters, it is suggested that II little time and
money judiciously expended in repairs
would go long distance, provided. OF
course, the cows were kept up at night.
The rapid accumulation OF holes in the
boardwalks are due in II large measure to
the fact that cows at night seem to prefer
the sidewalk to any other part of the
street. They generally manage to step on
the weakest places and broken boards
and ripped up planks are the result.
These holes are not only announcement
and uncomfortable to pedestrians, but
sometimes afford chance of bringing
suit against the city for broken limbs.
The sidewalk on Franklin road from

past twelve months, and yet the boards
are hardly relaid before the meandering
cows begin their explorations for other
weak places. with the usual resulting
dangers to Debated pedestrians. How to
remedy this evil is II complicated ques-
ton. Tie police force is not large enough
to keep watch and drive of offending
cattle. but IN occasional raid might help
to gather them into the pound and serve
rs warning to their owners that it is
better to pen at night than permit them
to run at large. AS to the. matter of re-
pairs, it is respectfully submitted to the
street committee that they be as liberal
rs possible in appropriations, and, then,
with the cows and occasional horses and
mules out of the way. the sidewalks can
be kept in a reasonably passabe cond-
ton.

The movement to establish small in

Roanoke is we'll situated both for ..manu-

for home consumption and domestic pur-

pass through many hands before it left
