why the State should continue TO refuse
an offer that will relieve her OF all her tiuan-
cial trouble, remove from her the STAN OF
regulation, and restore her lost credit,
with no increase In her tax rate, and with
all Der expenses provided for, passes the
comprehension OF most ordinary people.
Bur Virginia legislators and her other State
officers evidently don't belong to that
Alexandria Gazette.
Who or what is ''the State? In its
tan yible form il consists, so far as the Ga
zette'S question is concerned, Of its Legisla-

whom the Legislature would dare to elect

"No." In the name Of common-sense.

The Elections.

Richmond is so crowded with visitors,

Fair, aud expecting so much pleasure 10 re-

visit Of President CLEVELAND, that she and
they may be excused II for the moment
they seem 10 have lost sight OF the fact that
most important elections are TO take place
next Tuesday week.
A rather peculiar condition OF things ex-
lists throughout the Union. There are NUT
feripgs OF discomfort heard within the
ranks Of both parties in every northern
State and IN some OF the southern. What
with riots, knights Of Labor, Prohibition
lists. and other disturbing elements, the
country cannot be said TO be IN norma
condition. And yet, as we have said, the
congressional elections are less than two
weeks of.
The Democratic majority in the present
House Of Representatives is forty-odd. The
Republicans are making a strenuous effort
10 overcome that majority and secure the
next House OF Representatives for them.
selves. BLAINE, FORAKER, SHERMAN, aud
other stumpers too numerous to mention,
are engaged to-day In libelling the South,
and exciting sectional prejudices In
order TO accc mplish that object. The tone
Of Mr.. BLAINE's speeches proves that he
expects by sectional appeals TO throw the
Probibitionists and Knights OF Labor into
the back ground, and induce the northern
people once more 10 rally under the banner

House OF Representatives. They will
gain several members in Ohio as a

Governor KENNEDY and his band OF con-

will be offset, however, we think, by Dem.

House Of Representatives 20 be somewhat
less than the Democratic majority in the
existing House OF Representatives.
This is the result we hope for. 1t is
based upon the assumption that Virginia
and the other southern States will elect as
many Democrats to Congress this year as
they now have in that body.
Will the people OF Virginia fail to do their
duty under these circumstances viii

Thar Allies-Arain

The old saying that man must be judged
by the company he keeps Is sound In poli'
tics as well as in morals. When few
southern white men combine IN party
with the enemies of their own section, they
must be regarded just as these latter are;
for they place personal ambition above
proper State pride. In word, 1t Is unpl-
trioiic for virginians to encourage Mr..
BLAINE In his unholy work of striving
again TO excite sectional animosities
In the hearts OF men who but for his I'M
patriotic appeals would be as kindly dis
posed towards Virginia as towards any
northern State. How can northern aspi.

the South Is solid against wrong so long

The Police.

We concur in the opinion expressed by
the State that the charge brought against
the police OF this city by Police.Justice
RICHARDSON ought to be investigated With
out unnecessary delay. The people Of
Richmond are proud Of their policemen,
and ought TO be. For our part, we do not
believe that the charge is true; but If it is,
that fact ought not to injure the police
force as body in TIE estimation Of the
public. 1t is at le,st unfortunate that the
person who made the charge should have
declined TO allow his name to be used TO
support it.
