the landed gentry win b held to condemn
southwest Virginia.

The Southwest Virginia of to-day Is faith
fully described in letter which this morn
ing appears in another part Of this paper.
The observer and writer is gentleman OF
great information and practical mind. He
gives details OF progress made and OF i'm
provements contemplated that will be sur
prising TO many IL not all Of our people.
II is a land Of beautiful skies. mountains.
and valleys. Picturesque streams wind
through woodlands and pastures to great
rivers. Grass grows luxuriantly and the
lowing of cattle is everywhere heard. The
grams are raised in abundance, and the
earth yields most of the usual table fruits
and vegetables.
Abundant as are the products or the
fields and forests. Nature has concealed
beneath them such rich stores OF minerals
that mining operations have become OF
great Importance, and an era OF activity
has been inaugurated which shows its
fruits in populous villages. towns, and
cities in localities where few years ago
the stiffness Of the country was unbroken
save by the herdsman and his focks and
droyes.
The railroads IRE penetrating the region,
and many new lines have been built and
others have been begun. The demand Tor
greater transportation facilities Is urgent.
and will continue until lines reach oil the
principal points where mines OF coal ana
iron. zinc, &C., and smelling furnaces are
located and operated.
We are beginning to see the dawn OF that
development of the Southwest which has
been expected and predicted ever since
Professor Rooms made his geological re-
port. Its prolific resources Will insure IL
great population and wealth. Capital has
found remunerative investment there. ltis
said that northern men. having been
quicker than Virginians TO understand ana
appreciate the possibilities OF the country
and better able to venture large sums OF
money. will be the chief benefclaries IN
the advance of property values; but the
old residents are bound to share in the
benefits
We rejoice in the prosperity OF the
Southwest. To that loyal and industrious
population Virginia always lovingly LOOKS
for wise counsel and substantial help, and
we can trust her TO discriminate rigidly
between empty blooms" and solid indus
trial enterprises. The construction OF
railroads, the opening of mines, the clear
ING of forests the cultivation of fields. and
the building of towns and cities are ell
good evidences of permanency and tokens
of faith in the future.
Men of the Southwest, march on!

Traln-Wrecking.

There is scarcely any punishment too
severe for the train-wrecker.
Humanity deserts and demons possess
the heart Of the man who for spite against
. railroad company or its officers delbe-
rately plans to throw passenger tram OH
the track. That the darkness OF the night
IL generally selected for tho work adds to
the enormity OF the crime, just as 1t III
creases the danger to life.
What can exceed the horrors of that
waking moment when men, women. and
children reused from slumber and security
hnd their train topping down an enbank-
ment and dreadful death impending from
escaping steam. overturned lamps. tele-
scoping cars, crushing weights, and splin-
tered timbersg
Thus the innocent are punished for the
euilty; thus the person who smarts under
an alleged wrong seeks revenge. No
thanks to him that all the passengers are
not killed.
For such a criminal neither hanging nor
slsctrocution 10 severe enough.

The Census and Vital Statistics

Ine AJtUSuS anu Aldi otobAoNtNS'
The people of New York ask but will not
get a new Federal enumeration of their
population.
The great metropolis fell short of her
expectations. She hoped to be returned
100. 900. whereas the figures give her only
100000. Richmond and Manchester to-
gether expected 100000 and got only 100000
The chief trouble with New York is that
unless new census of some sort can be
secured she will have to calculate her NOR
tality upon the figures of the United
States Government officers. and this Will
raise tho rate per thousand very high.
Other communities are in the same pre-
dicament, but the honest course is the best
one.
When people are told that local boards
mt ND the population to make tho death
rate come down low they lose all conn.,
dence in mortuary tables. Statistics put
forth upon such basis may suit the medi-
cal profession-we do not see how they
can-but they will not satisfy the general
public.
The year that the census is taken by the
Federal Government each board OF health
in the land should accept as approximately
true the population thus ascertained; the
wear following O years increase OF popula-
ton should be figured on; two years fol-
loving two years increase, and so on.
We know that some of the most honest
and conscientious men in the world are
members of these boards. We believe
that they have adopted exaggerated esti-
mates only to protect from misrepresenta-
ton the people they represent, rival cities
having originated the vicious system.
This wear we would like to see all the
cities calculate the percentage of deaths to
the thousand of population upon the basis
of the United States enumeration. rather
than upon estimated figures. There is no
endemic anywhere and the test would be
productive of good results. 1t would give
healthy cities the benefit of an advertise
ment based upon Official data. 1t would
inform unhealthy cities of the facts and
stimulate them TO adopt corrective mea-
sures. Like nearly every city Richmond
was disappointed in the census results.
We claimed at least $1,000: we got only
about $1,000 or 81 1000. We can neverthe-
less stand the comparison ifother cities can.
The truth as nearly as possible is what
these tables of mortality should show.
The medical journals ought to take hold
of this question and agitate it, and en-
deayor TO secure for the profession and fol
the people reliable and trustworthy quar-
terly statements of the percentage of
deaths to population IN each city of the
United States.

that the people of Chicago and Illinois are

port which II merits.
II u not possible for US at this distance

Happy Conductors.

1t is highly creditable to the Norfolk and
Western Railroad Company that it has de-
termined to retire on full pay four of its
oldest conductors.
The life of conductor is very exacting
and perilous. He is slave to duty. Day
and night he must be obedient to orders
and watchful of the company's interests.
vet withal faithful. polite, and considerate
to the travelling public.
When one succeeds in steering success
fully through ell these difficulties. and
through wrecks and other accidents that
do so often beset him. he is entitled to be
dismissed from labor, while continued on
the payroll.
It seems to US that here is q corporation
with o soul.

II appears that EMIN Pasha instead of
being grateful to STANLEY for hunting him
up in the wilds of Africa was indignant at
the interruption. He did not want to
come home and he did not wish to be
bothered. But that he feared STANLEY
would use force he would not have budged
from his comfortable seolusion in the equa-
torial province. Upon coming again into
civilization EM1S finds that STANLEY, for
self.praise, has in letters which have been
published described EMIS as weak, vacil-
lating. &c.
So il is that the rescuer and the rescued
are not on good terms.
