On Sure Foundation.

The $4,000 addition to the Odd
Fellows Hall, on Houston street, is
beginning to rear it's head and should
be not only a handsome, but sub
stantial building, because it is laid
upon sure foundation, and its influ-
ence will be exercised for the public
good. On the west side of this build
ing is the Office and factory of the F.
F. Collins manufacturing company.
This business is laid upon the grand
foundation stones Ofintegrity and COM
petence and has risen gradually but
surely until it has assumed colossal
proportions and is benefiting not only
individuals but sections. By its aid
parched and barren acres become
fruitful and pleasant to the eye, cattle
that erstwhile failed for want of
water and feed now thrive, and those
who adopt this firms system of pro-
curing and manufacturing water are
prosperous. This is no chimerical
idea, but one practically illustrated
every day, and those who are wise
utilise it to their own advantage. To
enquirers the LIGHT says call and see
aud you will be convinced of the truth
of what it says.

HOWIS THIS FOR HIGH.

By reference to report of city coun-
cll it will be seen that the mayor has
been authorized to call for special
selection to vote upon the immediate
issue of bonds to the amount of $780,
900 to be expended this season tor the
macadamizlng of streets. Bolton and
Sartor opposed the motion, and very
sensibly, on the ground that the en-
tire work would in all probability
have to be torn up in order to lay
sewers in very few years, but 1T
was of no use, and the fiat will go
forth. The LIGHT is not now, has
never been and does not expect ever
to be opposed to municipal improve
ments, but it does most enphatically
support the position taken by Messrs.
Bolton and Sartor in the council last
evening. More concerning this sub
ject will be placed before the public
in the course of the discussion of the
matter SO sure to follow.

The Standard-BeRrer Next Fail
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:

have read With interest several commune
cations in your paper nominating or recon-
mendDg this or that gentleman Tor our
Democratic candidate for Governor. As
sumiug that the intelligent, patriotic people
Of Virginia still desire the affairs OF the Com
monweslth to be controlled-by white men,
would say that the selection OF the Demo.
cratic standard.b bearer il 4 most important
matter. The question Of standard-bearer, is
take il, the question OF the hour.
New. every level-headed observer in the
Democratic party must admit that the con.
test next fail will be fierce and close. The
DAYS OF Democratic "easy sweep" in Nir-
ginia are gone. In 1887 We carried the
state only by hard work. Last year we
won only by the skin Of our teetn In the
coming campaign we can win II we have
bold aud popular leader. one acceptable alike
to the farmers, the businessmen. and the
wage-workers; one inspiring confidence
among the rank and file, and able in every
wav 10 cope with his opponent Without
such leader we emphatically cannot 20 into
the contest with anything like an assurance
OF victory. Colonel Richard F. Betrne, OF
Hanover county, is the man we want to in-
sure success.
Berrne Is every inch man. But IL he
were simply a mana good, frank, generous
msn-that would not mean victory.
Starting in his professionalism OF Journal
ism-some ten years ago well equipped with
a collegiate education, he has been all as
siduous student OF the great issues that de-
mand our attention ever since. He IS
Quick thinker and a man Of sound judy
ment, and doubt II there is man in W.
GINA better versed in political history or
more keenly alive to the needs Of his state.
He is a broad.mnded man, yet be possesses
that intense Virginia feeling which cha
racterizes ell men jealous for the honor and
reputation OF their State. He is the farmers
friend and has long been recognized as one
OF the aDlest champions OF the agricultural
interests OF Virginia. He is the labOrng
mans friend and there is not a working
man in Richmond. or Lynchburg, or
Petersburg, or Norfolk, VINO is not
familiar with his name and record;
for be chimpioned the cause OF in
teIligent organized labor long before that
policy became fashionable. In other words,
he took up labor's cause because he believed
It to be right. lie is the friend OF COM
merce, and with tongue aud pen has ALWAYS
pointed the way to Nirginis's material pros
perity. His policy looking to the building
IN OF the commercial interests OF the State is
certainly appreciated. Now, Mr.. EDITOR,
isn't Beirne the mar? Why, nv word for
It, he would have o hurrah canvass that
would be memorable in the history OF Viz
elnia campaigns. And IL the Democrats are
goIng to look the situation square in the face
and take a fearless, aggressive, statesman
like man for standard-bearer, they will say
Beirne first, last, and all the time.
