We republshed yesterday the article
we compiled with great care last spring
showing minuiely the advantages that
Richmond possesses to make fine mod
ern hotel a great success, and the points
made have been strong enough to show
conciusively that, besides a necessity,
there is great advantage in drawing
Northern tourists to this point.
The comparison Of temperatures, as
we showed by an official table furnished
by the Weather Bureau, gives Richmond
the advantage over all points north and
ives, of us all during the winter. The
advantage is not only in respect to tenn
perature, for we enjoy more sunshine In
winter than any other city in the whole
country.
Being days travel from New York
and tweniy-four hours from Florida,
Richmond is the most convenient as well
as the most comfortable stopping place,
and if she has an elegant modern hotel;
which will be social headquarters to a
great extent, there can be no doubt about
what in such enterprises is called the
"boom.'

THE SOU II.

The people of the Southern States have
been acknowledge all over the North
except at election time. as showing
great dea! OF loyalty. and the old soldiers
have been quite enthusiastic at times over
the sentiments OF reconciliation.
The truth is that when the South was
put on parole, SO to speak, the whole peo-
pie recognized the situation frankly and
msnfully, and ever since then have been
ready to show a patriotic comprehen
sion of the high destiny CT a
free country reunited after a civil war
induced by certain causes that have
ceased to exist. The idea OF the right OF
secession and the institution of slavery
have been settled by war, and the people
will feel more secure II common inter
est Ia one great country, composed OF
kindred people, can make that reconcilia-
,ion complete All the white people OF
the United states understand what the
naramount American idea Is, and the
Southern Democrats are more thor
oughly American than the Sou'h-
ern Republicans. We remember what
terrific strains we can stand for
even after the civil war the people felt
that there Is ingrained in all OF US ana
born in US deep belief in the American
idea of popular government.
The Confederscy professed that or II
never could have done what II did, and
the parolled Confederate felt after the
close that there was something to look 10.
After the usurpation Of Hayes the PEG
pie submitted simply because they knew
there was remedy and that in the heXI-
bic nature Of our politics things would
adjust themselves rightly. The narrow
margin by which Cleveland was elected
after such a precedent showed that the
Presidency could be stolen, and the quiet
way in which the result was accepted
shows again the vital instinct OF the peo-
pie towards the right, an instinct that
may be outraged to some extent, but is
too strong and healthy to trihe with too
far.
So we conclude that II politicians will
only recognize that higher law the coun-
Try is still and is always safe
If In one day We can peacefully and in
good temper transfer the Government

LET Us HAVE PEACE.

II Mr.. Murat Halstead can affect con
servatism the example ought to act on
any Republican in the North, for IL
shows that according 10 that high au-
thority the times have charged and gone
bevond sectional hate and prejudice.
There will be no idea at all in the plea
that the South draws sectional line In
politics, because the Southern Democracy
agree with the real conservatism all
over the North and West on the
great economic question which
was the issue in the recent
contest. If the two great parties can
fight each other on such questions as the
tariff. the country need have no fear Of
any trouble that could disturb the even
tenor of our way as citizens Of free
Republic; and il is in the power OF the
dominant party to make party questions
such that both sides shall always preserve
a patriotic regard for the principles that
rule all, and first among these princi-
pies is the rights of communities
under the local governments which
hold the principle Of the dual character
of the Government. When the people OF
the United States feel safe in that their
pride in the grandeur of the National
Government is greater, and we feel the
security from any mortal power without
and sense Of peace and good will at
home. Since the close of the great
struggle of twenty-three years ago there
has been no such opportunity as nov for
the North TO accomplish that victory
of peace which will be greater than the
triumph of wal, and it can be
done by both parties in Congress show
ing an appreciation of the feeling that is
in every Americans heart, South and |
Norlh-a feeling for the right and justice |
and manhood in our system, things that
we can have under the American system |
and could not under any other. The |
Southern question in the local character
of the Southern Democracy need not
worry the country if the party holding
all the branches of the Government will
take hold of the case in high patriotic
American sense, instead Of as simply
politicians seeking 10 keep party in
