s o,,,ans and Americans,

r,o p.ou,,er considers that no just pa
ra,,o, can be drawn between tthe American
pcople and the q Romans" Why not Il
ihe accountant be fair and Impartial ne may
J, r,ke d lust balance. In one respect our
con,,,Ion IL greatly more to our dIsadrah.
500 ,b.n was their condition to the no
mans The abolition of the slavery OF Rome
and the equality that followed were the en-
reimbursement of the equals in race OF The
ruling class and the consequent equality
,eps, EQUALITY between men of the same
blood. Here the slaves belonged to the
lowest of the races, and The attempt to estao
fish equality tina; followed abolition was
(and is)an attempt to force by law equaiit!
between the highest and the lowest OF
the races, which Is an attempt u
nuIlify nature and The decree OF the
Almighty, Such an attempt by man Is 81
foolish and corrupt as it is implous, ano
must meet with not only failure, bat thai
calamity which always falls upon the 1901
ishly wicked and heedcsSly impious. 80 10
this respect we are all The world to nothing
worse of than the Romans, and have nc
grounds to hope that the consequences OF
Abolition and lcvelliug here will not be
worse than they were at Rome, There the
law eauaIized classes; here it UNANIMOUSLY
and impiousy attempts to equaliZe races,
AGAINST the nature Of man and the LAW OF
COB.
Then the Enquirer says we have Chris
tianity, and Rome had it not. An advantage
on our side certainly, but an advantage with
qualification. According to the economy
of this world you always tind extremes close
neighbors. Where you find the richest you
fad the poorest. Man is the best and worst
of animals. Even amongst the angels there
are fallen" So that we believe We may
say with entire truth that while Christian
communities atfo,d examples of the very
best of men they also exhibit those of the
very worst aud most depraved nature. We
believe that Rome never dreamt of such
wretches in the political world as have vexed
the peace aad impaired the prosperity of
this land.
Our neighbor mentions our advantages in
the use of steam and electricity, &C.. Well,
and do they cherish liberty5 Don't they in-
crease the means of power to restrain lib
erty? But for electricity where would kEL'
LoeG have been! But for railroads and tele.
graphs what would have come Of the at
tempt to crush out the southern States?
There is something suggestive in the En-
quirei's succeeding remark relative to the
power and influence we have :" III the direc-
ton and control oil wind" Alb, there
you have the advantage over the Romans
They were not so windy rs the Americans
are The wind-bags" Of Rome were
scarce. The Roman people were perfectly
ignorant of the manufacture of "wind-pud-
ding" In all the matter Of wind, the world
in any age must yield the palm to the Ameri-
can Union. @aE ,-. '.. =

lieycd that the execution of this project
would not only accomplish their object, but
that it would do more to advance The bust.
ness interests of Iiichmord than any Other
railroad scheme that could be devised.
After having obtained an amended char
ter, and enlisted the sympathieS Of Lynch
burg, and secured the cooperation of the
counties through which the road would
pass and even having gore so far As to have
gotten Il respectable shbscriptior-liSt, sud-
denly the matter dropped, and the Straight
Shoot became defunct. We had the CON-
forting assurance that the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad Company were bound to build
the road, but, with the best Intentions. they
were unable to do so. Now we find our.
selves between two lines of railroad one
on the north, running up the Valley and
tending to Southwestern Virginia; the other
on the south, penetrating the same region.
These roads are designed to carry far away
from Richmond the products of that portion
| of the State which, with proper facilities,
| would naturally seek this market.
However, all things work for the best; fol
although the Struight-Shoot is dead and
| buried in its narroap grave, still at some flu
| ture day it will undergo the resurrection, an'C
| be restored to life under the form of the mar
! ro,o gauge. Whoever wishes to satisfy him
self of the superiority of the narroW oVel
the broad gauge can do so by referring to tn
last report Of a three-feet gauge railroad run
ming from Denver, in Colorado, 500 miles, II
pendix to that report the problem of narrow
| and broad gaugei is solved, anu the advantage
in all respects of the former over the latte
are as clearly demonstrated as if the question
was between gauge. of four feet eigh
inches and a gauge Of seven feet.
1t is plain if the Straight-Shoot ha,
been built, the howl that is now going VI
against the Baltimore and other railroad pc
tentates would never have found utterance
The Straight-Shoot would have been com
plcte check to the railroad games now being
so successfully played by parties whose in
terests are altogether aniagonistic to the mos
vital interests of Richmond.
The estimated cost of the Airline tt
Lynchburg, with broad gauge, is three
millions Of dollars. A narrow gauge ofthree
feet, which would answer all of our pur
poses, would cost about half of that amount
With the narrow gauge, or single rail, W,
shall beat them yet, and bring back the trad,
and traffic which by right belong to us.
Who Is for the Narrow Gauge and wht
for the Straight-ShOot!
