A Pertinent ENQUIRY.

4 correspondent of the Richmond Rnqulrer calls
tas attention of the public to the following ex-
tract from the annual report for 1887 Of the State
Engineer and Surveyor of the State of New York
There oaa be Ne doubt that the large amount
Of the business which has been diverted from our
canals TO the railroads. has been done by the rail-
roads without profit, II not IN absolute loss; and
the result isthst the State loses the from
thess frsights % which she 10 fairly entitled-for
the reason culy that she has furnished the most
natural and economical mode for thoiI Transports
tfop-wbils the railroad companies are damaged
By doing the business; and the only persons ben
shttsd are the producers OF other States who will
always seek the cheapest mode OF transportation
10 the best market.
"Are not some of the railroads In Virginia per-
sisting 10 their efforts to oompets with the james
River aud Kapawha Caual. with tue same ruinous
dspriving the canal, the State, and their own
Stockholders Of their inst dues IL II not the dn-
ty Of the Board OF Public Works TO Interfere ~
prevent an tNsan< cUmpstfton, which 10 ruinous 10
all and beneficial 70 monet"
We hold that this question 10 to the point, and
that Il II the duty of tho Beard OF Public Work.
70 look into the matter at once, and see that the
Interests OF the State suffer no detriment. 1t Is
matter In which every taxpayer In Virginia lie
deeply concerned. Never before were people 50
ground TO the earth for the support of syssem OF
public works-if system 1t can be called-whoss
only uniform characteristics are the competition
Of one railroad with another the terminus OF each
In the midst Of . thick forest, and the Inability
Of oil 70 return dollar TO the treasury from which
- maay miliions have been imbibed. 1t 10 time
that the question was determined whether the
trsasurss, wrung from the sosnty means of pso-
pie, By no means wealthy, are to be squandered
upon On insane rivalry, instead OF expended for
the oommon good.
We know nothing Of the fact suggested by the
EHquirsr's correspondent, but 1t deserves investi
CATION, for We hold It utterly Impossible that rail-
roads can successfully compete With canals,
either In New York, Virginia, or anywhere else,
without . ruIsous sacrifice Of both railroad and
canal. and Of ell the Interests public and private
vhish ere embarked In these improvements.

Consolation In the Condition Of Vir'
glnia.

IL IL nov pretty evident that the public works
81 visginia will rot b completed for some years
yet The famous railroads which are to connect
rs With the insEhsastible gransries Of the West,
will not be finished Ia eur day, and the dark curls
Of our prattiing children will be white as the
plumaae of the evan, before the James River Ca

vision. The roar of the heavy trains from Cali
Sornia will not disturb our leadsn slumbers, nor
thS letting Of of steam from ocean liners mako MS
tarn uneasily in our graves.
Thsre are, however, some springs OF consolation
even in this bleak and seemingly barren prospect
The fox that pronounced the grapes sour, which
b could not reach, WAS q philosopher. There 10
certainly some scidity 10 these Internal Improve
ment grapes, when We come to examine them
closely. We sksll have no great cities during
the present generation, but then We shall es-
cape the crimes, the suferings, the pauper popn-
lattou and the destructive diseases of great cities
We shall always have 10 sight the beautiful, re-
ffeshing scenery of the country, and In our lungs
the pure, count air. Europe will not disgorge
its runaway mlsoreauts upon our streets, nor
hordes of entsrprising free soers infsst towns
and villages. The old Virginia character, the cor
dial, simple and hospissble customs of pure
sud primitive people, will still remain. We bear
# often said that Virginia could easily support
largo population as England Perhaps she could.
bu, the comfort Of living in such = crowd, We are
not ovsranxious to experience. We willingly be-
susath that blessing to posterty, who will proba-
bly, pine for elbow room as eagerly as the present
generation for multitude. There will be more
wealth, population and spiendors century hence
than We dream OF now. Hampton Roads will be
crowded with shipping of all nations; our streets
will be lined with the palaces of merchant princes,
and the uabobs of that will smile at our ideas
Of rich man. But will there be less poverty
smOuK the massesf VIII there DO more happi-
ness, comfort and content among the toiling mu
titudssf viii society at large be more virtuous
and humanei Will Virginia grow In moral Ne
we'll % material wealth. Let us be content,
then, with the lot which Providence has assigned
us. At all events, let us not torment ourselves
vRh feverish lonsinss, for that which at last may
be bat the gided misery and hollow splendor OF
the great commercial marts Of the North.
