THE SINKING or $4,000 OF THE
CTTY'S MONEY.

The City Council on Tuesday night COM
pleted an act against which we have felt it
our duty as public journalist to enter va
rio us protests at various times. Our rea-
sons for these protests were that the own
ers of he WITz & HOLT property were, if
anything, unfortunate in having purchased
property where the public uses could de.
stroy it's value, without their being able to
recover any damages at law. The ques-
ton was whether the City Council should
volunteer to save these gentlemen from
loss by giving them $4,000 out of the city
treasury. Any private citizen would have
carried the case into court, where w. q
H. would have been non-suited. Exactly
similar cases have been decided that way
in the highest tribunals of Massachusetts
and Alabama. The city now pays $4,000
for property it does not want and canHot
use, and which no court in this country
would have made it take. We sincerely
hope, in the interest Of the taxpayers, that
better judgment may prevail at the next
charter election than ruled at the last
election for Councilmen. 1t may be intel
esting to taxpayers to know that this last
addition increases the amount of the obi
cations Staunton is liable for to an even
100000.

THE CHESAPEAKE & OHIO RAILROAD.
-Messrs. Fisk s. Hatch, of New York,
have issued circular to Chesapeake &
Ohio bondholders, urging them, now that
the company is RENTED to the receiver
ship of Gen. Wickham under the State
Courts of Virginia and West Virginia, to
lose no time in asserting to the company's
scheme of foreclosure and reorganization.
They state that the holders of over $10,-
DOC, 900 of bonds have already assented, in
Guiding about $4,000, 900 of the per cents;
and those bondholders who desire the ear
lest settlement of existing difficulties will
probably come in without delay. 1t seems
to be agreed on all hands that the road is
bound to be sold.

The JAPANESE WOMEN.-We could
just read by the hour about the Japanese
women. They are carefully taught from
various books devoted to the duties of a
wife, mother, housekeeper. The three
principal duties, as set forth in large vol
ume entitled 'Woman's great study" are:
l. Obedience to parents when a child.
2. Obedience to her husband when a wife,
8. Obedience to her eldest son when wi
dow. Half their education is in books of
etiquette. There is no distinction be-
tween politeness land morals. Lying,
cheating, deceiving, slandering, and like
vices are simply mot polite" and so are
not permissible. Girls thus scrupulously
brought up make the best of women and
of wives. The now constantly charging
intercourse between Japan and the West
ern Powers leads to the hope that some Of
the refnements of japanese civilization
will eventually reach other countries.

were changed such as Rathkeltair to Down.

and the last name was brought to
this country where it abounds in Virginia

our ancestors gave the names of Mt Craw-.
