The virginia Middle.

The arrangement between the republicans
and readjusters Of Virginia whereby the
former are TO support the latter's candi-
dates has been consummated, with the
sanction OF the highest party authority.
The republicans have attempted no secresy
In regard 10 their part OF the agreement, but,
On the contrary. have proclaimed II In the shape
OF pronunciamento from the national CON-
mittee. The republican state and executive
committees OF Virginia have opposed the ALI
ance with the readjustt ON It's inception.
and are now using their authority TO prevent
Is being carried out, even In the face OF the
address OF the national committee. In taking
{ his course the party leaders OF the state were
probably looking more 10 the future than the
present interests OF the republican organization.
They calculated, perhaps, upon a union, next
year, with the democratic faction that suffers
defeat next Tuesday, which might re-establish
republican supremacy In the state. This, at
least, Is the view that some members of the
state committee have taken, and they are
chagrined at the overthrow OF their plans by an
enforced alliance with the readjusters. Such
an alliance, they say will disrupt the repub-
lican party In the state; that republicans who
believe In state credit Gunders) Will vote with
the regular democrats to rebuke the attempt to
force them into alliance with the readjusters,
and that It will be difficult to reorganize the
party hereafter. In the state contest last year
over the debt question, the white republicans
generally stood up manfully for state credit and
honor. and with the knowledge that victory
next week Will strengthen the readjusters for
their fight to cut down the state debt next
year, they the white republicans may deem 1t
good policy TO help the regular democrats.
They will look upon the attempted alliance
With readjusters as an abandonment of all
effort to carry the state for their own party.
and hence feel at liberty TO vote in accordance
with their own ideas OF what is best for the
state. This Is the opinion OF some OF the ablest
republicans OF Virginia, and accounts for the
opposition OF the state committee to the policy
Of the national committee.

Our Streets and Pavements.

Last week we gave the admirable report OF
Lieut.. Hox!e to Engineer Commissioner Twin
Ing, upon the drainage and sewerage Of the
District and TO day present the like valuable re-
port OF Lieut. Greene, upon the surface operations
OF the District engineering department.
work upon the streets, roads, parking &C Both
at home and abroad Lieut.. Greene has estab-
lished high reputation for ability by his lately
published books upon the Russian army. and
the present report Is well calculated to sustain
that reputation. He explains clearly all about
the different paVements In use here,-how they
are made. and which of them In the light of ex-
perience have proved suitable for the condi-
tons OF wear and climate In Washington. The
onerous nature Of the burden OF taxation upon
the people OF Washington In consequence of the
very small population and small revenue to the
amount OF the streets to be kept up Is shown.
Thus the city has 164 miles Of streets improved
or partially improved, In an area of % square
miles, and for population OF 10000, whose
total revenues, including that contributed by
the general government, amount only to
50, 600 per annum. There are IN Wash
ington a miles OF smooth surface pave
considerably more than exist on the
roadways OF all other cities in the world
taken together. The large amount of
excellent work, economically done upon the
streets and roads Of the District. Is certainly
creditable to the Board OF Commissioners and
especially to Major Twining5 engineering de-
partment.
One OF the excellent recommendations by
Lieut.. Greene Is that In regard 10 compelling
the telegraph companies to remove all their
unSightly poles and to cause their wires to be
laid underground. There are now no less than
,266 OF these clumsy poles in Washington, and
the evil from them and the myriad wires strung
upon them Is already great. and Will increase
vastly In few years when the immense num-
Der OF young trees On our streets have attained
such height that the wires cannot with safety
be placed on poles above them. 1t Is shown
conclusively that there Is no difficulty what
ever In laying the wires underground. The use
OF underground telegraph lines is quite general
In Europe. No telegraph pole Is to be seen In
London, Paris and other great cities, and there
are to-day more than thousand miles of un-
derground lines In successful operation In
Europe. The expense is somewhat greater
than In the system of carrying the wires on
poles. but as justly stated by Lieut.. Greene, no
question OF cost ought to allow the streets and
trees obe sacrificed TO the telegraph lines

The board OF revision In st. Louis has stricken
from the registration lists ll,155 raIaes. which
makes the election OF the democratic ticket In
that city ALMOST foregone conclusion. The
democratic majority OF the board declared that
these names were fraudulently registered By
the republicans, who had concoeted scheme
10 get control OF the city. The republican
minority insisted that the names represented
legitimate voters, and that In striking them
from the lists democratic scheme TO hold pos
session or The city regardless of the voters, was
being carried out. II was pretty conclusiyely
shown, however, that fraud on an extensive
scale was attempted by somebody but there
was no way OF fixing 1t upon the guilty party.
S cores OF voters were registered as living in
houses that did not exist. Vacant lots were
found In the localities recorded as the habita-
tion OF these fictitious voters.
