CHAIRMAN JONES.

It is reported from Washington that
Senator Jones will not retire from the
craftsmanship of the National Democratic
Committee because he has been defeated
In the Democratic primaries in his own
State. His friends are saying that the
contest was purely local" and has no
national significance; that the Democrats
OF Arkansas are almost unanimously In
accord with Senator Jones in his political
views generally and that there is no oc-
casIon for him to retire from the chair
n,anship because there is another Demo-
crat in Arkansas who is moro popular
than he.
is well enough for Senator Jones
friends to talk in this way, but the fact
is that he has been defeated by the DEM
ocrats Of his own State and the time has
come for him to retire from the chairman
ship. He ought TO have retired long
ago, but it is very rarely that politi-
clan knows when to quit For reasons
sufficient unto themselves, the Dem ocrats
Of Arkansas have grown tired Of Senator
Jones and propose to lay him aside. We
believe that the Democrats Of the coun-
Try at large have grown tired of Chair
nan Jones, and it would be gratifying to
hem il he would lay himself aside. If
he has the true interest Of the party at
heart he will do so.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, April 1.-Delegates

gin at noon tomorrow in Lieberkranz

Reformers, of Ohio; the Public Owner
ship Party, of st. Louis: the Liberal
Party, recently formed in Ohio; the
United Christian Party, and, in fact. all
elements not associated with the Repub-
licans or Democrats.
The object of the meeting is the form
alton of a third party composed of all
reform forces, independent Of the old
parties.
The most important work to be done is
the adoption OF a platform and a name
agreeable to the majority of the dele
gates.
The National Committee of the Popu-
list party met to-nieht. with Chairman
Joseph \. Parker r . hiding. and twer.ty
State committeeman present other States
being represented by proxy committee
men. The discussion showed that the
Populists are adverse to surrendering

ROANOKE, VA, April lat IN early
hour this. morning the small town of
Newport. in Giles county, was practically
destroyed by fire. Every store in the
place was burned. Two hotels and the
best residences were leve!led to the
ground. The fire originated from an un-
known cause in a shed back OF Dunkiee &
Martins big store
The wind was blowing a gale ard the
flames spread quickly from the shed to
the store. which was also a mass OF flames
in a few minutes. From Dunklee 4
Martins store the wind scattered the fire
in every direction. Before the inhabitants
realized the danger nearly every house in
the immediate neighborhood was in flames.
The loss is estimated to be over one hum
dred thousand dollars, with very light In
surance. Some Of the heaviest losers are:
McPherson's four-story hardware estab-
lishment and so5. 900 stock of goods: Dunk.

general merchandise; Miller & Sons store
and SIS: 900 stock in general merchandise:

APooR ADVERTISEMENT

Among "the measures which did not
pass. during tho late session OF the Cen
eIul Assembly are to be noted:
]. The good roads bill.
2. Tho bill 10 appropriate $4,000 Tor
State exhibit ut the st. Louis Exposition.
& That is bad record for Virginia; that
1 IS poor advertisement Of the progress
and enterprise OF this Commonwealth
The State has accumulated large sur
plus fund and she is amply able to cx-
pend $50, 900 for an exhibition at st. Louis.
Indeed, she cannot afford not to do so.
She has agricultural lands and mineral
lands and water-Dower and other prop
crty for sale. and She is in sore need OF
purchasers from the outside. Her lands
are cheap and IL outsiders knew the bar
gains that are to be had we believe that
they would come in in large numbers.
But they are not apt to find out unless
we take the trouble to tell them. and the
members Of the General Assembly. or at
least a part of them, seem to think that
advertising is not worth paying for.
These men would not think so II they
81. =
were in business in Richmond Or any
that advertising pays handsomely and that
it lis almost impossible in this day Tor
live merchant to do business without it.
The same is largely true OF communities.
There is. as we pointed out the other day,
disposition on the part Of farmers in
tho Northwest to sell out and move to a
more genial cline. Virginia is just the
place for all such people, and we be-
]ieve that a little money judiciously eX-
pended in advertising our advantages
! zion to this State. There is no better
way OF advertising than by means Of an
exhibit at such an exposition as st. Louis
will have, and it is 3 great mistake for
Virginia not to be represented.
1t is discouraging also that. the General
Assembly. did nothing for. the cause OF
good roads. a convention was held while
The Legislature was in session and every
thing was done TO persuade the members
z that there was a sentiment IN Virginia for
road Improvement Besides there were
in the General Assembly, earnest, enter
prising members, who urged their asso-
ciates to join them In giving the State
a Highway Commission, but a majority
OF the members seemed to think it was
not worth while.
This is very disappointing to those cit
liens Of the State who believe in push
and progress. But let us not give up. Let
us create sentiment so strong that the
Legislature cannot; ignore it.
