Our local OF yesterday contained
wholesome advice TO investors. These
are huctuatiDg times. We consider
the advice given very time'y. The sale
by Messrs. Chewing Il Rose, Auction
GERS, of Main street property, was well
attended, which proved conclusiyely
that the advice given was we'll needed.
:. ). Cottrell, Esq, one of Richmond's 5
enterprising citizens, became the pur-
chaser of the property offered at the
price of $50, 400. The bidding was ac-
tive and spirited, which goes to prove
that there is an immense amount Of
capital within our midst seeking invest
ments Of the character offered by
Messrs. Chewing & Rose.

IF ANY LEGiSLATION, WHAT!
Mr.. Downing said that his people
were divided on this question, and it
was one that should address itself not
to the passions and prejudice but to
the calm judgment Of this House. lie
wished TO do what would most benefit
the dear old Commonwealth of Nir-
ginia. lie would, therefore, consider
if any legislation is needed, and if any,
what? The first point to make is aS to
the relative positions of the railroad
companies and the people of Virginia.
The people should have honest and
faithful service the railroads should
have fair remuneration they should
be able to derive reasonable profits from
there enterprises and investments. Do
the railroads make more than they should
on the capital invested? He thought
not. lie doubted if railroads paid more
on the capital invested than lands pay.
True, railroad spectators do often be-
come rich. So do the spectators in
grain but it is very seldom that the
first. or even second or third investors
in the capital stock of railroads get
their money back. Now, as to the
freight-rates in the United States, they
are cheaper than in any other country
in the world, but the passenger-rates
are very high. Next, the question is,
Who are to pay the just earnings of
road-the local or the through ship

a review of all the complex questions
growing out Of this point, aud he
showed that to wipe out "discrimina-

VIII the Amerioan Please Answer9

In its issue of Dec. % the Amer
lean said that many of the papers
it calls 'Independent' printed as
editorials matter furnished them by
the railroads and paid for. The
CITIZEN last week, because the
American had cassed it "indepen-
dent" denied the charge 50 far as
1t might apply to it. and it asked,
in politest terms it knew how to
use, the American TO state that it
did not intend to include the CIFI
ZEN in its charge. Perhaps the
American overlooked our denial and
request. If 50, we respectfully ask
it to state that it does not intend
to include tbs CITIZEN. The Amer
cans charge Is general and the
CITIZEN may or may not be includ-
ed. We respectfully ask specific
answer to this.

Hon. BENTON McMillin,

This honorable gentleman now
becomes our representative. BY his
happy alliance with the daughter
of Tennessee's greatest and Giles
county's favorIte and beloved son,
he becomes our property. Mr.. Nc
MIllin is a born statesman and a
courtly' gentleman. Although young
in years, he already ranks with the
ablest leaders in congress and is re-
lied upon by Speaker Carlisle as
one of his safest and strongest ad-
visers. He is a coming man-com-
ing by reason of his own forceful-
ness Of mind and through the pop
ularity created by his elegant man
ners and suave genius. Giles coun-
ty loves everybody who is any
thing to her own John Brown. She
takes Mr.. McMillin on faith now,
in fullest assurance that he is
worthy of her highest esteem. We
extend him carte blanche TO
draw at will for respect and sup
port upon his newly acquired con-
stituency.

viii It Oppose Prohibition7

The CITIZEN called attention some
time ago to the attitude of the
American on prohibition, and we
showed how IN the very nature of
things, if it is guided in this, as in
all other thiags, by the narrowest,
hidebound construction of demo
cratic principles, it could do moth
ing less than oppose it. At various
times it has let fall sayings that
corroborated our prediction. 1t as
sumes to be the only correct expon-
ent of democracy and brooks no
rivalry for leadership, lashing right
and left upon every one who disa-
grees with it. Recently, seeing the
Inevitable trend of public opinion,
the CITIZEN again called attention
to the Americans position and
asked in all seriousness for public
expression so as to determine
whether the partyawas to be led in
to opposition. The Franklin Re
view and journal promptly spoke
up as if it had been instructed by
the American and spoke by author
ity, and so decided and authorita-
tive was it's tone, knowing it to be
special pet of the American, that
we concluded the American had de-
cided to let the party do as it pleas
ed. The Dresden Enterprise and
the Milan Exchange and several
other good democratic papers ex-
pressed the opinion that the Ameri-
can would not attempt to lead the
party against prohibition, but right
on the heels of this came Sundays
American with four column arti-
Gle written by Mr.. Herman Justi
against prohibition.
The CITIZEN in all seriousness
warns the party to go slow on this
trail that the American is about to
open up on. 1t will perhaps halt
before going too far, but Mr.. Justi's
article is a well considered, exhaus-
tive enunciation Of opposition argu-
ment and is doubtless meant as the
opening gun. He argues ably and
then concludes thus:
All these things and many others
mark the drift of public opinion.
To sum up briefly we ask in lieu of
prohibition, which is impracticable,
the following simple reforms meas
ures:
L. High license.
2. Punishment of drunkenness.
3. The closing of saloons at 8
o'clock on Saturdays.
4. A change from Saturday and
Monday in the payday of manufac-
turers, builders and employers of
labor generally.
5. Social ostrac1sm of the drunk
ard. No discrimination in favor Of
the eccentric, or of ga member of
one of the best families"
6. The encouragement Of limo
cent and healthful amusement for
children and adults. The provision
in every city of an adequate park
system.
7. The support of refined drama

Can. Whitthorna Again.

We took occasion to say last

all of the following Avalanche dis

congressional career. He don't

Special dispatch to the Ayalapohs.
WASHINGTON, DEC. 30.-Ex Cons
gressman Whitthorne has gone over
to Baltimore on a visit to his
daughter residing there. He will
probably remain here until Senator
Harris returns. He would be glad
to get some position here, but there
seems but little prospect for this.
He will probably go back home af-
ter consultation with Senator Har-
ris and try to set up his pins for
his old district, keeping an eye in
the meantime on the senatorship.
Senator Harris great ambition, it
is said, isato see Wbitthorne in the
senate to succeed Senator jackson,
though from what can be gathered
here there is little prospect for his
ambition to be gratifed.
On the other hand it is sus
pected that ex-COngressman House
is being groomed for the senator
ship by Editor Vertrees and his as
sociates. His attempted response
to Senator Jackson's educational
is looked upon as a sort
of opening gun in the House cam
paign, but one whose recoil will be
more dangerous than its direct &C
ton.
