Two Conncl Ordinances.

To several of the railroad companies
entering Richmond the City Council years
aeogranted liberal street privileges upon the
express condition that the ordinance
should be irrepealable except by the votes
of two successiveley-elected Councils.
The idea was that in consideration OF
the expenditures the companies would be
compelled TO make they should have this
measure OF stability.
From time to time there have been
Earrings between these corporations and
orr municipal authorities. and often the
wish has been expressed that the double
lock had not been put upon the legislative
door.
AT the last meeting Of the Common
Council an ordinance was passed which
contemplated freeing the incoming City
Council and leaving IT with complete lib
erty 10 act. Night before last the Board
of Aldermen considered this proposition
from the lower branch.
The idea was that the present City Coun-
ell should repeal all the doublelocked
franchises, and then the new Council which
comes into power July lst would have the
corporations at their mercy.
Though weighty appeals were made to
TIE Board. by a decided majority it rejected
the proposition.
No doubt this decision WAS reached from
the conviction that the proposed remedy
was too summary, and that the outside
world would oxaggerate its Importance.
and thus the railroad companies would
suffer an injury 1t was not designed to in-
hict

Accounts from Washington agree that it
will no, be Speaker RfrD's fault if a Fed
cral elcction-law is not passed at this scs-
sion Of Congress.
All the probabilities are that he viii be
able TO push it through the House in some
shape or form. and it Will probably be a
measure which will give TO supervisors ex-
traOrdinary powers. He will have much
more difficulty in managing the Senate.
Whether he Will be able t. coax or bully it
through that branch IL not SO certain; but
Democrats should not entertain any hopes
based upon the Republicans Of the Senate.
We should look out for and take care Of
ourselves
In other words We should organize.
There is more need for organization this
gear than eny congressioual-elcctio year
within recent times. Much good and no
harm can come of being prepared to meet
the enemy whether they come in bold as
sault or approach by the covered way of
partisan election-laws.
What are we in Virginia doing? Waiting
for Congress to actl Why, it will 10 Au-
gust, maybe September, before we can
know positively whether there is or is not
20 he a Federal election-law, and then what
time will be left us to put our counties,
cths, districts, and State in condition to
combat the enemy?
Certainly that VIII not do.
Isn't this case whore a stitch in time
may save nine or more?

Renssessnenf of Iands.

The general reassessment Of real estate
which takes place in Virginia once in five
years, is now being brought 10 completion
and here and there We have statements Of
results
The depressed condition OF agriculture
offers no prospect that the farming lands
will be kept "a; the old figures. The sole
hope Of the State TO maintain and perhaps
increase the aggregate of taxables is in the
mineral lands and in the towns and cities
and their suburbs These will make "A
wonderful showing They are enjoying a
season of great prosperity, and are attract
ing a vast deal Of capital from other
States. Along with the many industries
about 10 be planted will come population.
Every new village and town means more
and more consumnrs for the products Of
our farming and grazing lands. These
communities will thus prove direct helps
10 the agricultursts and besides will be
valuable in assisting TO carry the burdens
OF taxation.
With the improvements gong on within
our borders. with the spirit of enterprise

with q q,,ic,,s given TO the debt agitation,

But VIII the debt over be settled Z"
Oh, yes. There is now excellent promise
in that direction. Men Of influence and
capital have undertaken it. and every man
in tho State government, every patriotic
Vrcinian. wishes them well.
Virginia has great future If each one Of
u Will heartily contribute to it IN smooth
ing tho way for n debt settlement. The
obstacles. where not the mere Pigments Of
imag nation, are often oyerrated. The
great bankers who have projected the
latest scheme understand thoroughly our
political and financial situation, and are
working out their plan in the full light Of
that information.
