The Case of william II. Smith.

Governor Lee will doubtless pass upon
the petition for the pardon of William r.
Smith, late clerk in the office of the
Auditor of Public Accounts, as the physi-
cal condition of the prisoner is such that
he cannot live many days in confine-
ment. Smith has already served about
two years in jail, which was the length
of time he was sentenced 10 the peniten-
tiary. He is complete physical wreck,
and the physicians who have examined
him are of the opinion that confinement
in prison may result in his death at any
time

LetUs Have Electric, Light.

The Electric Light Company have just
completed a new circuit, furnishing an
all-night service to the several depOts,
which was put in operation last night.
In this connection attention is called to
"the moon schedule" as served to the
public by order of the Committee on
Light. For an additional cost of II cents
per light, this service would be given
from dusk to sunrise-entailing for the
11S lights paid for by the city an ex-
penditure of only $129S per night By
all means discard the moonlight-alone
schedule and have an all-night service.
1t is claimed that no city in the country
has as good an electric-light service for
as little cost.

the season. The well-selected programme
was loudly applauded throughout. The

Thomas Branch & Co. withdraw.

Thomas Branch & Co. have Withdrawn
from the Stock Exchange. The following
is the reason given: The Richmond Stock
Exchange was established about ten years
ago. The rate of commission fixed was
one-half of per cent, which some Of the
brokers opposed as too high and tending
to drive business from Richmond. This
contest has existed for some time, and as
the advocates of the one-half of 1 per cent.
rate are in the majority, it eliminated yes
terday by the withdrawal of Thomas
Branch 81 Co. from the Board.

At Last.

The pavement on the north side of
Broad street between Foushee and
Brook avenue, was being relaid yester-
day. The condition of this pavement has
several times been the subject of COM
plant in the TIMES, and it is an improve
ment that was very badly needed.
1t seems hard that pavement which is
for the use and convenience of the gen
eral public should have to be replaced at
the expense of the private property own
ers bordering thereon. But such is the
city ordinance concerning the matter,
and there is no use kicking against it.

Nichols for Governor.

Truth has never been backward in
declaring a preference for this distin-
gulshed citizen as our next Governor.
To become the chief executive of Louis
lana would require a personal sacrifice
on the part OF General Nichols, bun the
political situation demands this sacri-
fice on the part of one of Louisiana's
truest, noblest and most patriotic soas.
The people want his services. By all
odds he is the most popular man for
the position, in the Florida parishes, a
section populated by a people fully ca
pable OF appreciating the eminent quail
itications of the man. From what we
are led to understand General Nichols,
if he believes the best interests of Louis
lana demand it, can be prevailed upon
to put aside personal interest and in the
true spirit of patriotism offer his servi-
ces to the people as their next Cover
nor. His private character and per
sonal honor defy criticism, his public
record is above reproach, and his hon
esty, patriotism and services to the
State in the days when true men were
needed, are proverbial throughout
all louisiana The great need in Louis
lama to-day is the purist in politics. In
Governor Francis I. Nichols, the
MANNED hero and patriot, we have such
aman and Truth unites in the gene
raj demand that he be made our next
Governor What do cur exchanges

The Mexican EI PasO.

In one OF her letters from Mexico,
fanhe Is. Warde says: Beside the
steam car transit, small pile trestle
brldge-which is used also as a high
way tor wagons and pedestrians, con-
meets the two El Pasos by horse car
line. It is difficult to realize that in
merely crossing that narrow, yellow
and Notwithstanding stream we bid
"adlos" to the land Of the stars and
stripes, its laws and it's protection, and
plunge into a country as old as E gyptP
That five minutes ride transports us
INTO another world, as it were-into the
land OF a romantic race, whose ciyiliza-
ton, coeval with the palmiest DAYS of
Persia, partakes strangely of the Orient.
lhe Mexican side of the Rio Grande
shows more foliage, flowers, orchards,
gardens-a striking and pleasant con-
trast after the deserts we have passed;
and still more pleasing to eyes that
have become weary Of mushroom pal
aces and freshly painted smartness are
the old gray walls end softened tints-
the indescribable air Of rest and repose
that well becomes a country which was
hoarv with antiquity before our lusty
infant, the United States, was born.
The Mexican FL Paso, though called
the "tWin" of the opposite town, is at
least century older, but is considered
by the tlme-Worn neighboring villages
as q rfecocious young fedgling, barely
ont ot the shell. 1t has population
or about seven thousand, and is distin-
gulshed from its American sister by the
words del Norte-''of the North"
Strolljng over the place one sees few
signs OF the alleged progress of these
Latter days.
