THURSDAY. JANUARY 80, 1890.
InIL STRIITs.

The Times has, on number OF re-
cent occasions. called attention 20 the
condition 10 which many Of our streets
are allowed 10 remain, but SO far no
important step has been taken beyond
merely modifying the nuisance which
il is sought to be wholly abated. 1t 10
unnecessary to repeat what has been so
often stated already in our columns
how serious is the damage which the
foulness Of our streets doesto the health
of our citizens. the appearance aud
value Of our property, and the general
interests of the city at large
There are few towns in Virginia
which will not compare favorably in
this respect with Richmond, city dis
tinguished not only for the size OF Its
population. but for its wealth, its refine
ment. and for an historical prominence
that attracts annually to it hundreds, II
not thousands Of strangers from dis
lance. And yet there is hardly thor
oushfars in Richmond that will bear
close inspection from the standpoint OF
cleanliness. Strewn with sticks, leaves.
timber, paper, and manure, with innu-
merable accumuiations Of dirt, and
with every variety Of garbage In
places. cur thoroughfares, as a
rule. cannot stand the most ordinary
sanitary tests. On a dry and windy day
it is as disagreeable TO enter them as II
the heaviest rain or hail storm were in
progress. Indeed, the clouds Of maio-
dorous dust are much more to be dread
cd. because far more serious in their
deleterious effect upon health; 90 very
serious. indeed. that the citizens OF
Richmond should be more deeply inter
ested in the weather predictions as TO
wind than as TO snow or rain.
The evil Of these dust storms is, II
possible. more kcenly felt at night,
when the wind is blowing, than during
the day, for they come upon the unfor
tunate passenger who is compelled
to be cut on the street, before he has
time so raise an arm or a cloak to escape
the suffocation with which he is threat
ened.

THE present session Of the Senate will
long be memorable for its debates on
the race question, and incidentally on
Southern affairs in general. The
speeches Of the Republican members,
who have participated in the discussion,
have been a. notable for as much ac-
crimony of sectional and partisan feel
ing as if they were delivered just after
the war, instead of q quarter Of a
century having passed since the close
OF civil strife. 1t was supposed that
Senator Ingalls, would carry off the
palm Of superiority in abusive rhetoric
in the attacks on the South, but this
honor seems to have been reserved for
Senator Spoonsr, who took advantage
of the supposed outrage upon Henry j..
FAM, at Aberdeen. Miss. to deliver
TRADE against the Southern people
rarely surpassed even in the record of
the Republican leaders IN Congress in
the past.

rnr GEORGIA RAILROAD LAW.

According TO the reported proceed
ings Of the House Of Delegates OF the
General Assembly last Ionday, Mr..
Pitcher, Of Fauquier. presented petit
ton from the Farmers Alliance OF
Warrenton, asking for a more stringent
railroad Law. They claim that they are
unjustly oppressed by the rates Of
freight charged by the railroads, and
they seek redress from the Legislature,
whom they request to pa" law similar
TO that known as the Georgia Railroad
law.
Our farmers should, by all means, be
protected to the fullest extent OF the
power Of the State, for they are the
prop OF the Commonwealth. and upon
their prosperity depends largely the
welfare of all other classes Of our peo-
Die. The Legislature should, however,
consider we'll before they pass so ultra
a measure as the Georgia law. Under
the provisions of that law all the rail
roads Of the State are placed absolutely
aud entirely in the hands Of three
commissioners, to whom has been
delegated by the Legislature auto
cratic authority. These commissioners
have full control Of all railroads char
tered by the State, and from their dictd
there is no appeal, the Supreme Court
Of the State having decided that the
commission is constitutional. and that
the commissioners have plenary power
to regulate not only rates, but every
thing connected with the roads. They
can. therefore, if they see fit, get to-
gether, issue their orders to the roads,
and the latter have to obey even if by
90 doing, they are forced into bank
ruptcy.
The farmers of Virginia can surely be
protected and satisfied with some com
mission law more democratic and con-
servative than this. Under the Georgia
law the railroads really have no rights
that the commissioners are bound to
respect, and the acts and powers Of the
commission are too closely allied to Star
Chamber proceedings to suit our repub'
lican ideas of government. If the Lee
gislature feels it incumbent to pass any
commission law at all j. should. by all
means, allow both the roads and the
people the privilege of appealing to the
courts in all questions OF dispute be
tween them, and not permit the DEGREES
Of the commission to be absolutely
binding and final. Our fair-minded
farmers certainly Will not demand such
complete notification Of the rights
of our railroads, which are conceded to
be such invaluable agents in advancing
our material prosperity and civilization.

international Disputes.
New York Times.

The concurrent resolution upon the
arbitration of international disputes re-
ported from the Senate Committee on
Foreign Relations is the outcome Of
sundry much more thorough-going
propositions on the subject made during
the last two or three years, and in its
present guarded form it is likely 10
meet no opposition even If it also at
tracts little Jealous support. 1t re-
quests the President TO invite ne
gotiations with any other Govern
ment from time to time, as TT
occasions may arise" for establishing
arbitration as a peaceable mode OF set
Ting controversies between such for
eign government and our own. The
original purpose of the arbitration
movement was not to await for occa-
sions to arise. when public feeling
might already be excited and biased,
but 10 make the overtures beforehand,
with no specific controversy in view. for
the purpose of definitely establishing
in advance Of its practical use a system
of rules on the subject.

IT is, in many respects, a curious fact,
that 30 long a time shall have been per-
mitted to pass without the negotiation
Of a treaty of extradition between
Great Britain and the United States,
covering the whole ground of offenses
that are generally regarded as extradi-
table in international relations. The
Ashburtop- Webster treaty was entered
into in 1912, forty eight years ago. and
in this long interval of time there has
been no addition made to the clause
which specified the crimes which were
to be accepted as extraditable Under
the new arrangement just concluded
by Mr.. Blaine and the British Minister.
the list of extraditable crimes is the most
complete of all that has been embodied
in extradition treaties between this
country and the other nations, and in
cludes every felony that is generally
considered Infamous in the jurispru-
dence Of every civilized people. There
is just ground for anticipating that the
Blaine Pauncefote convention will be
ratified, with a few changes. by the
Senate, but the action OF Great Britain
in the premises is not so assured.

II we are 10 Judge from our cable dis
patches from Europe there is a strong
presumption that a trip around the
world in sevsnty-five days will soon
cease to belong to the region Of the
wonderful. Transcontiuental railroads
are about to occupy the attention OF all
the great powers. We have already q
railroad across the continent of Europe
to Constantinople. st. Petersburg has
railroad connection more or less direct
with western. northwestern and
southwestern Europe. Lines are
projected through Asia Minor. Russia
proposes 10 extend her transcaspian
road both to the northeast and south
east, The French are busy with rail
roads In the southeast, and England Is
interesting Hindostan with an i'm
mense railroad system. Railroads, We
believe, will bring about the unification |
Of the peoples, while developing the
wealth Of the world. They will also
,onduce TO the preservation Of peace.
Let them be built.
