GOnd Honk for Hot Weather.

The supply OF any commodity answers
the demand in quality NO less than in
quantity, and the use 10 which summer
novels are put determines what they shall
be. They are read amid the hurry and
restless idleness VI summer leisure, when
the only demand made OF III author Is
that he shall be entertaining. They are
hurried through or dawdled through or
gone through with III a jerky combination
of both methods, and they are written &C
cordiagly. To make d popular summer
novel, one gets all exciting plot, just now
Die more bizarre the better, and u good
supply of scenery and conventional senti-
ment. The plot Is put in III large pieces,
from which tho swift reader may go as q
quick runner on uneven ground leaps
from hillock to hillock.
The sentiment is arranged between,
somewhat i'll the style of beds Of moss
between the hamnocks upon which the
lame and the lazy pilgrims may lie down
and reposc at will. What chinks remain
are filled in With scenery. Not very long
ago the whole WAS fastened up in r.
bundle with q stout cord in the way of q
moral, but this custom has fallen into dis
use. perhaps because We have come too
much under the influence VI the French,
who have even their vices put up in
pretty perfumed papers, tied with gayly
colorcd ribbons, so that we are ashamed
TO be found With packages bound with Or
binary pack thread. Since the moral
would inevitably he skipped, it is quite ns
well that it should be omitted. So much
paper and ink arc saved at least. --Arlo

The check of Senator Bill Chandler,
late boss of the Arthur navy, il rs broad
as it is hard. He proposes a bill to re.
organize and reform the navy Depart
ment. He is the side-partner of John
Roach, the man who was a professional
junketter and jobber the prostitute. and
knave of a thieving party, and the one
who most helped the Democratic party
to victory by the retroactive influence of
rascality TO prove that the rascals should
be turned out.
The audacity of the thing is amusing

If he were sensitive would keep him from

A few days ago some farmers OF Viz
ginia arranged a meeting with people III
terested in Immigration To Virginia. 1t
calls attention to the remarkable fact that
Virginia capital seeks investments away
from home, while people in other States
come To Virginia. The TIMES begged the
public TO take interest in the electric
railway at the start, without even know
ing the people engaged in it, and for a
long period while the experiment was
being tried we endeavored TO en-
courage the enterprise because II
was in the line of what Virginia
needs. We do not know whether the
meeting of gentleman TO consider the
immigration question have gotten a good
hold on the project, but We do know that
there are hundreds of thousands of acres
of land In Virginia that can be bought
for tone-fifth of the price given in the
North and West for lands that answer
the same purpose. The sort OF immigra-
ton we want is the thrifty and industrious
class that seek better opportunities in
milder climates with better advantages
at lower prices.
We will give a practical illustration
In Fairfax county there is n settlement
Of New Jersey people who have made a
part of the county look like a garden
which, thirty years ago, had been deserted
bv the old land -owners because the land
was worn out and the old system could
not find a remedy.
The same idea applies to-day in a more
forcible way all over the State.
The slave system is gone and the lands
of the planter are going to waste.
They car be bought at very low rates,
and only need. more owners, smaller
farms, and a different style of farming.
Now what we want is 10 get the Northern
farmers 10 sell on, their farms at 800 an
acre, and come down and settle on lands
that they can get for $40 an acre.
The whole family will be provided for,
and the Northern style OF farming will
take the place of the old planter system.
There are hundreds Of thousands of
acres In Virginia on the ridge sections
between the rivers that are the best lands
possible for sheep. raising. They can be
gotten for one-ffth of what the core
spending property costs In New York
and Ohio. There Is the ploblem; let the
immigration society work 1t out.
