LOCAL AnNANTAGES.

The TIMES has recorded comparison
OF the temperatures in Washington and
Richmond for the whole winter. We
stated In the beginning OF February that
whatever the weather might be at Wash
ington, at Richmond 1t was always at
least seven degrees warmer In winter or,
In other words, that though point In
the Middle States might nc subject to I'm
embargo by the weather as Washington
was the other day In the great ST o I'd, yet
Richmond frenthe nature OF her topo'
graphical location would be safe. The
fact was noticeable In the recent storm,
but IL Is the same all the time; and what we
wish 10 urge is that the Northern
capital and enterprise that Virginia
needs will find at Richmond point, In
all respects, convenient TO the demands
of commerce but, at the same time, pos
sesslng a climate that makes the life OF
all workers-meTchants, manufacturers,
and farmers--easer, giving them more
working hours, under easier circum'
stances, and commercial highways Tor
material aud manu- actures that are re-
markably convenient North and South
there are two great through lines, and
East and West We have the same advan-
tages, while the navigable waterway up
to Richmond from the sea gives us the
great advantage Of cheap water trans
portalion
Now, it's time that the people OF Rich
mond understood these things md put
themselves In form to encourage enter
mise and the introduction of capital.
We hear the old fogies aud croakers all
the time lamenting the change OF affairs,
even when they can see that it promises
better things.
1t seems to be great and all pervading
reproach on the people OF Richmond
that they nurse their pride and comfort
too much to take position in the from,
rank of progress. One of the first things
the people of Richmond should do is to
insist that the railroad companies shall
cease to treat the city as a water station.
There is not even a restaurant at
the Petersburg station. You can
not get mail out OF the city In
the morning In time to make connec'
lions for Danville, Lynchburg, or the
Piedmont line. Then the people are
cut off from the proper connections with
the Capital of the State, while the Legis-
lature discusses railroad bills and the
Danville company moves its offices back
wards and forwards from Washington
to Richmond, just to suit the temporary
demands of the temporary plan on hand

"BEArEN ON VANTAGE GROUND"


This Is the CHASTITY fate that awaits the
Democratic party II its leaders have not
the sense and courage TO advance after
the great victory Of 1884. instead Of re-
treating. lisa quaint old quotation from
the lips OF n soldier, whose fortune for
sock him in following the example Of his
own nerve and lett him disgraced. when
little sense and boldness would have
won.
Is 1t too late for the people 10 let tie
politicians understand that there are
enough voters TO give the Republican
party Waterloo If the Democrats post
themselves right, but that the Democrats
themselves will not follow the lead OF
un. democratic Ideas that only have the
brands and notices of the party and none
of the prihcipless The first principle OF
the Democratic party IL opposed to
robbing the citizen in the name OF q tax
when the excuse of the tax Is long since
dead with the war. The long and peril
nacious fight against the Radicals was
kept up in the cause of popular rights
and liberty, as opposed to ring-ru!e,
monopoly, and protection Of monopoly
A Government has no right to take the
property Of citizens except to support The Gov.
ernment.
Let us post the Democratic party on
that principle, and we can show that "
whole system of making -99, 10000 Of
peopnpsy exorbitant wal taxes in time
of peace Is an outrage on the Constitution
and an insult to free people. If the
alleged, Democratic leaders dodge the
issue, they will see too late that popu-
larity and re election is not to be obtained
by timidity.
What will make the party popular now
Is bold and aggressive canvass against
the abuses established by the Rep ublicans
and that still remain to disgrace the
party in power.

Senator Vance has given the Demo-
Gratis of tho House the cue to the next
scene of the tariff reform. The Demo
cratic majority may go home and tell
ornamental tales TO delude constituents
withsl, but the truth is we are confronted
with great issue, and unless 1t Is met by
the party which has the power and met
wisely and couIageously there will be
many seats lost in the House Of Repre-
sen,atives by men who trim sails to what
they opine to be popular breeze. The
people of the United States for long years
have expected the war taxes 10 be at
least reduced.
On the contrary they have been In
creased, and for what Not to give rev.
enue to support the Government, because
we have Sl55, 100000 q year more than
we want, but to coddle the few
manufacturers.
Mr.. Vauce's trenchant mind has found
out a very sharp point with which to
puncture the protective tariff, and 1t Is
that government has no right to take
the property of the citizen, even the
smallest particle of it, except to support
the government. Now, then, let US I'M
pale the Protectionists on their own argu-
ment for protecting home manufactures.
1t is against the Constitution.
