cal growth Of Richmond.
No power can keep her back. she has al
ready increased in the last ten years more
than any city In the Union.
Thus situated. with the tides Of the sea and
the passes Of the mountains in her favor.
Richmond presents greater advantages con-
mercislly than any other city IN the United
States.
I. She has from her commanding position
the largest and most productive bsck-country
of any city in the United States.
III. She IL by virtue Of her position the great
distributing depot of Virginia, North Carolina,
West Virginia. South Carolina and large sec
lions Of Georgia and Alabama
III. She IL by virtue of her position the chief
railroad centre Of the South. Six railway
lines meet 10 her limits. two Of them great
trunk systems, which drain each third of the
continent.

DEs MONIES, Ia, March 17-The two
houses of the legislature put in Friday debat
ing the fate Of liquor and the railways. In
the senate the railway had the floor, or rather
the statesmen who propose to run the rail
ways had it. The house railway bill was
considered up to section IL inclusive without
material charge. The senate is two weeks
behind the house in work at this time, an un-
usual state of affairs The house eloquence
was let loose on the pharmacy bill, and
much of it was devoted to an amendment
by Roe, who moved to strike out the provis-
ion allowing the sale of wine for sacrament
al purposes He was opposed to the whole
bill, but urged that if Intoxicating liquors are
so harmful, Christian people should maintain
the consistency of the bill by using some
other liquid at the communion, But the
amendment was rejected as was IA local OPP
tin substitute, and the bill ordered engrossed

Senator Cullom of Illinois may seem an

really desired to do 50 or not. In the
confusion of council there is danger; in
the unity Of action there is success. Mr..
Plumb does not seem to have conceived
this simple proposition.
But let us allow for brief space the
idea of the abundant choice Turn it in

chi never be selected, because, however

spise the antI>monopoly feeling, as poll
ticians they will never dare to defy it.
Mr.. Depew is a railroad president, and
that lays him out. Mr. Don Cameron

shed. Senator Allison can rouse nothing
and do nothing out of the narrow limits

game. Childs is impenetrable; Sheridan
immovable; Blaine has run away. Unless,
which we do not believe possible, the
man from Maine is nominated anyhow,
there seems possibility only of Shelby
NJ Cullom of Illinois.
AS republican candidate he certainly
will have negative virtues and one posi-
tive one-that of the authorship OF the

can go great deal farther and fare much
worse.

revenue bill All Of the measure except
two sections of the administrative feature
have been practically agreed to. While the
committee was in session Friday morning,
Browne of Indiana moved to strike out "a
clause in the bill, and it was voted down upon
strictly party lines "You see," said Reed,
that vote together this side of the
committees the Republicans are always to-
gether"
"When under the leadership of General
Browne" added Breckenridge of Arkansas,
sarcasticaly substituting General Browne as
the Republican leader.
"But did not know what the proposition
was" protested Reed. II simply followed a
member of my party, and | was right as
usual"
"Oh, yes" said Browne, "Mr. Reed gener-
ally votes right--when he doesn't know what
he is voting on"
