Work for All

We regret very much to see talents wasted.
Our friend the philosopher of the Enquirer
is still venting his hostility to the tunnel, and
reasoning over and over again the whole
question. He reminds lis of the lawyer who
arose to address the judge after the case he
was employed in had been decided. The
courteous judge listened q While, and gently
interrupting him informed him that the case
he WAS arguing had been decided. We need
not add that that lawyer stopped speaking
His example we commend to the philosopher.
We assure him that the tunnel question is
settled-bolh wisely and positively.
As we regret to see talents and energies
that are both respectable and Influential
wasted, we presume to make q suggestion to
our neighbor; and that is, to find some I'M
portant work that is TO be done, and to give
that his great services. What thinks lie of
the Rivauna navigation and OF the straight
road to Charlottesville? They are both inn
portant. We have in our time cut out L
great deal Of work for ourselves. In 1887 we
undertook the Danvillc road; at later periods
we have given up all our feeble energies to
other enterprises. The latest of these are the
tunnel, the deepening of James river, and the
annexation Of Manchester. These last three
are as goodas accomplished. We arc looking
about for new employment. We have not
forgotten the straight road to Lynchburg !;
but that, we believe, our neighbor Of the
TVhio has eSpouscd and we lumblV beg his
perm ission to reinforce him as well as we can.
That is great work.
There is work enough for us all, and great
work at that and We do most earnestly de-
sire to call oil the Enquirer, which is, like a
faithful and high-spiritcd hunter, still pulling
away the bark and tearing up the ground
about the hole at the root Of the stump. Oh,
come away, we have the coon that lodged in

From the Parkersburg Gazette.
The West Virginia COmlnissiO,

The commissioners appointed to ascertain
the amount of the debt of Virginia PAYABLE
by West Virginia have been in session in this
city for the past week, and we believe have
about concluded their report to the Governor.
Their duties have been intricate and delicate,
and their labors arduous, being DESTROYS of
ascertsinins what was the just proportion we
ought to pay. On account of the failure of
the old State to appoint any persons to act
with them, their action is rather &c parte than
final. This fact has made them particularly
careful to be accurate. They wanted to be
just to our own State-just to their own repu-
tatlon, and just to the State Of Virginia, for
which each has great regard. 1t is to be re-
GREETED that there was not joint commits
sion Of the two States to adjust this matter.
Although we believe they were empowered
to employ u clerk, they have done their own
work. AS have not seen their report, and
are too polite to inquire into private matters,
we cannot say what it would be, but if We
are not much mistaken it will be found that
they will report to the Governor that there is
very little due from this State to Virginia, and
that those New Workers who bought Virginia
bonds on West Virginia's credit will be left
with the bag to hold,

Reasons for Good Order.

We have not given up the bleating horns

sake of the good reputc Of the city as we'll rs

We remember the horrid din made during
two days of Christmas in this city we Won
der where they who blew the horn came
from. Were they raised and educated in
Richmond? Had they gentle parents? Were
they ever taught that grand lesson of good
breeding that they must not consider that
amusement pleasure which is an ANNOYANCE
and pain to others? Were they ever en-
Joined to preserve their own self-respect in
all places, and to be guilty of no act con-
trary to good taste, decorlm, and gentle
manly bearing? Surely nobody, it would
seem, who had received any such lessons
could become members of that wild ard reck-
less band who winded the bleating horns,
and for two days and nights kept this city in
uncomfortable torture.
The horns were fit instruments only for
idiots. Had we festival Of idiots that horn
should be placed in each idiots hand. What

ment that made one single note, and that a

1t were--there was yet another view of the
disorder that is important to us. What sort
of people would the stranger take us to be-
the stranger who arrived here Saturday and
departed Tuesday: Such disorder did us no
credit in his estimation.

We suppose the author Of the following is
hardly in earnest, yet his proposition is not
one whit more unreasonable than the propo-
sal TO repudiate the funding act:
To the Editors Of The Dispatch:
Gentlemcn,-Iour course as regards the
"funding bill !" meets with the general appro-
baton and commentator of all noble-minded
Virginians whom have met and with whom
l have convcrscd OH this subject.
The opinion with some Of us is, that all this
opposition to the funding bill results from
the fact that landholdcrs arc not willing to
have their lands taxed. The majority OF the
members Of the Legislature represent la
holders, and wish to be returned TO the legs
lative hall for years to come, if not for lie.
Hence they cannot legislate contrary to the
wishes of their landed constituency, and are
willing that the honor and credit Of the State
shall suffer.
What is the remedy for this. think if no
remedy can be applied before, there is a re-
medy that can be applied at the next general
election; and that is, make it an issue that
no man has q right to hold more land than he
is able to pay reasonable tax OH. Tax the
lands heavily, and, if need be, let them be
brought into market and bought up i'll small
tracts, such rs poor and industrious men can
afford to buy, and cultivate and pay reason
able tax on.
A ticket on this basis could in all proba-
bilitv be elected, and by this means, if by no
other, the integrity Of the State could be
maintained. QUIDAM.
