CAR DRIVERS.

We suggest the following hints for bob
tail cars.
FIRST. the driver ought to look out for
the passenger who calls him, but he
ought to be excused If he does not see
the caller because he cannot successfully
be driver, cashier and conductor all at
the same time at small salary with the
mule running opposition to the electric
car.
Second, we suggest that the driver,
when handed coin through the hole OF
the door-holding the reins in one hand
and trying to use the brake with the
other. while he calls to the mules and
acts as financier-s should also keep his
mind on his duty so far as TO give the
change unless the passenger asks for
tickets. 1t is not to be sup
posed that the sgonized traveller
wants tickets because he hopes that
something may happen that will save
him the ordeal OF the bobtail. Hence
the martyr car driver ought TO under
stand, when he scars into the field OF
finance at 80 cents day, that he ought to
give currency. unless the passenger calls
for bonds

TO A FINE POINT.

II cannot be denied that the local
wrangle among Democrats in New YORK
is as dangerous to the welfare OF the
popular party as it is disgrsceful to the
demagogues who engage in local con-
spiracies.
II would be a Gods blessing to the
country II Cleveland could be elected
and New York go Republican.
II would demonstrate a possibility oil
freedom from the ring rule OF the pivot
which establishes the fact that New YORK
must name the Democratic President,
and in doing that the whole country
must be surrended to Tammany Hall, or
the County Democracy or any other
Hall" that can play highest for ONCE
and spoils. We know now that II Cleve-
land is defeated il will be an accident OF
"Hallsr and Castle Garden politics.
II would give the country a lesson that
might break the Solid South, but with
equal certainty break the Solid North;
and let US see that we have to endure
Radical tyranny or freedom from New
York Halls"
Tha, is Just the size of the present sit
uation. and there is no use in Disgusting
It, There is possibility of winning the
election without New York If the Demo-
Gratis carry New Jersey, Connecticut
Indiana, California, Illinois, and any
other States. At present the pivot has
the say, and that is New York. and the
question is one Of doodle"
So we are reduced to that at the time
when the issue of the election is great
one Of taxes and of commerce and trade.
whether we shall be put within Chinese
wall of protection or freed.

THEATRICAL CRITICISM.

The able theatrical manager, Mr..
Abbey, with pyrotechnic dignity, an
nominees the withdrawal Of his advertise
ment from the New York Tribune be-
cause he claims that his show was not
fairly criticised.
The fact is that the Tribune very justly
criticised a performance at public
theatre aud stated the truth about 1t,
whereas Mr.. Manager Abbey expect
ed that it ought to be pulled.
There is no, in all history so all per
yading case of charity as that OF the
American press towards the American
show business. The most horrible plays
and snide actors are foisteG on the
public with circus advertising
and the reporters, who know as much
about play generally as the auther OF IT,
and that is nothing, are persuaded TO
boom the show. And yet theatrical
manager proposes to refuse to advertise
in a newspaper because the criticism
does not suit him, supposing, like vulgar
fool, that newspaper could be bought
for free tickets.
Go to, Mr.. Abbey thou art an ass.
The Daily times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1886-1889, 1888-10-19

We copy an extract from 'e'' eo''
article in the Herald In which the po'icy
Of Germany is shown to the extent OF
establishing her ports all over the wofid
and following the great idea OF Tue Eng
land Of fifty years ago, but on a d'ne'en'
principle. =,
That Is, Germany proposes 10 use n'''''
tary mower 10 enforce her ideas. and also
to use all the applications OF the age Of
mechanism. Of which she Is The foremost
representative, with one exception
The Germans are a pure-blooded and
brave people, with heroic traditions oil
race superiority; and in the arts ana
sciences. both the ideal and the practical
they are an immense people. They have
reduced the science of war to an art 'ha'
ia a mathematical problem to make re-
sult certain with certain quantities 70
nroduce the result. The writer In the
Herald is a philosophical student and 81
the same time an acute Observer ana nc
had the opportunity OF studying
men and nations and seeing
kings and kaisers In the tour
be made with General Grant lie wisely
sees how the policy Of Germany can take
from England her whole power Oh
colonization and turn India her richest
dominion against her. The writer stops
a. the point where he draws THIS con-
clusion.
But the American will look beyond It
and see that unless free government In
America ia a failure, which we do not
propose it shall be, then Germany's per
sonal imperialism will be met by much
stronger power in the Republican IDEA
of American. The genius OF our age
moves 30 rapidly that even as wise
man as Bismarck does not see that per-
sonal government is behind the times,
because be is very old man.
When Germany finishes the task oil
beating England the point is where VIII
Germany be? The United States Will
have twice her population and is as Tar
ahead of her in race development as we
are in the numbers of our people.
The absolutely free character OF the
American people is the germ OF power
that must inevitably beat the world, that
Is AZ soon as the Robinson Crusoe policy
is beaten. which means, according to Ben
Harrison, that We must shut ourselves
I'D like terrapins and keep out trade.

THE ARMY OF NORTHERN vIRGISIA


The meeting of the Association Of the
Army of Northern Virginia last night is
reported in full in our columns.
There.are,personal characters and many
thoughts and various "reminiscences
brought forward on such occasions that
make the incident interesting. But as
the roll call of veterans is depleted every
year, and We try 10 close up the ranks,
the great heroism Of the Confederacy
becomes more vivid.
The gathering twilight of the fading
past begins to leave US in darkness, and
only the stars of brief but beautiful ro-
nance remain.
1t is well for us that the reminis
cences of the Confederacy are such that
defeat leaves the honor and courage that
have already achieved victory in an
other field. That the South could
retrieve its ruin and build up its fortunes
after the war is best known to the honor
of our people by those who have gone
throughi Il all. Do We not remember how
the soldiers generals, colonies, captains
and priyates hitched their horses TO the
plow and worked out of the desolate
fields doubtful living?
Do we not remember the patience OF
the Southern people under the trials OF
the after war period
Indeed we do. The aptitude CT the
people for war was not greater than their
courageous work to redeem their lost
fortunes.
The veterans Of the army of Northern
Virginia have the satisfaction OF know
ing that the military renown of General
Lee and his army will remain uniarnished
forever in history "if history be not an
srrant jade"
And we know that people In per-
petuating the honorable record of that
army do thing that is high moral edu'
cation. We would do for the Union
what we did for the Confederaey since
the Union pledges itself 10 perfect re-
Cancellation.

Heat I'm IN. Comstock Mines,

"The Comstock mine in Nevada is q
wonderful work, said Mr.. Cecil Morgan,
of Aspen. 1T is 1900 feet in vertical
line to the bottom Of the shaft, and one
can mako the descent in three or four
minutes in the cage which is used 10 haul
ore to tho surface. This cage will lift
about G,000 pounds, or three car loads of
1000 pounds each. Work on the Com
stock is now confined TO the upper Levels,
the workmen having been driven from
the depths by the steam generated
through the action OF the air ON the sui
phurous rock penetrated by the different
levels. The temperature averages about
1870 degs. down there, and it is simply
impossible for the miners to work under
such conditions. Whether science will
ever be able 10 overcome the difficulties
met in those lower levels remains to he
seen. think, however, it will not, for
the reason that such intense heat denotes

Elastic Concrete for paycments.

An ingenious employee Of a New Jcr-
sey concrete firm has invented q paving
composition which has some very re-
markable features. He claims that hls
preparation. the composition Of which
he keeps secret, is just as durable as
stone, but is soft and elastic 10 the tread,
so that it is not only pleasant to walk
upon but actually gives the foot an i'm.
pulse like that--in lesser degree, Of
course-gained from a sprng5oard.
Whether his invention be possibility or
not, something Of the kind would GER
tainly be acceptable to tired iowniols
whose feet ache and blister rs they stamp
along ON the hard and noisy pavement. -
