The Exposition.
pOnents.

AT the meeting of the Agricultural anu
Mechanical Society on Monday, upon mo-
,ion Of Hon. GEORGE l.. CHRISTIAN, various
ouestions were referred to the Executive
Committee for report. the chief OF whic "a
Is whether. in view Of the existing deot' II
will be better to sell portion OF the Expo
sition-Grounds or raise the needed money
ON mortgage. or dispose of the whole pro-
perty.
We hope that the determination VIII o o.,
reached to keep the property intact un Ii
after we have held great fair IN 1871
After this probably it would be better &c
market the entire property, pay on the
debt. and reinvest the balance (Which Will
be ample) in cheaper land.
It is the pubic expectation that we VII
have a fine Fair in October next. We VIII
hardly care to repeat it in 1892; but there
will be time enough to think about this
In 1898 nothing Of the kind will be able &c
compete with the Chicago Exposition. But
by 1894 we all will be eager again Tor
Fair. and by that time we can have ouI
new grounds and buildings.

Parna ll's PLIGHT.

Mr.. PARNELL is certainly an "uncrowned
king" in Kilkenny. HIS candidate was
overwhelmingly defeated.
Now the ex-leader, if he follows the prac-
tice of certain celebrities in this country,
will cry out Fraud"
Perhaps he will charge his discontinue
10 "priestly interference" or clerical
dictation." No matter-his day is done !;
his course is run. He can be Of no more
use to lreland's cause; at least not as a
leader. In the ranks possibly he may re-
deem himself.
Mr.. PARSELL's great mistake was in not
taking the advice of the Dispatch, given him
immediately upon the close Of the O'SHEA
divorce suit. He should have retired, and
not waited to be kicked out. Now silence
would be the course he could most CON-
mendably pursue.
But he thinks more Of PABSELL than the
cause

The New Hampshire Complication.

Every State Constitution provides, we
believe. that the legislative, executive, and
judicial departments of the State govern
ment shall be independent OF one an
other-that is. shall not usurp the func-
tions of one another. Every State Consti-
tution provides also that each house OF the
Legislature shall be the sole judge OF the
elections. qualifications. aud returns of its
own members. Yet in New Hampshire we
zee the Republicans applying to the courts
for wit OF mandamus TO compel the
Clerk Of tho lower house of the Legisla-
ture 20 make up a roll Of members that
will give TO the Republicans control of the
State Legislature; and at the same time
the Democrats applying 10 the courts for
an injunction forbidding the Clerkto make
up any such roll.
Has any court in Virginia the power TO
make up the roll of members OF either
branch Of our State Legislature? We
should answer this question decidedly in
the negative. Aud yet our courts have as
much power as those of New Hampshire.
and there are a. good lawyers in New
Hampshire as in Virginia; and these law
years would seem TO have come to the con-
clusion that the courts can compel
the Clerk Of the House to enter names
upon bis list OF members. II the courts
have this power they have the power to
determine the party complexion of every
successive Legislature. We await further
Developments.

Iee-Monument Lots and other Matters.
The Pulaski Ne,cs, while expressing its
pride in Richmond. laments that we are
mot keeping up with the procession" and
instances the fact that the lots around the
Lee monument ARE offered at prices lower
than prevail in any live town OF the state
while even at the prevailing prices we note
a bad failure in dealing therein"
Whether the Lee-monument lots are OF
fered at prices that are cheap or dear we
do not know. Perhaps the conditions as 10
buildings that must be erected upon them
have something 10 do with their sale; but
this is certain, the rapidity Of the growth
of this city cannot be denied.
The city is expanding in all directions.
On the east Fulton has grown into thrifty
and populous neighborhood. East Rich
mond has come into being. Barton
Heights are more populous than many OF
the booming towns of Virginia. The West
brook neighborhood is destined 20 become
the lovelest suburb of any city IN the Old
Dominion and in the midst of beautiful
circle. az which will centre boulevards, run
ming from James river to Atlee's Station,
and from Richmond westwardly will be
erected the monument to Lieutenant
General A. p. HILL. Near the reservoir
the village of River View has arisen, while
our sister city Manchester has made Won
derful increase in wealth and population.
Some GOO or zoo houses were erected here
q. a IN thaea q fnp1nnQn
several of great cost.
We think we are keeping up with the
procession" You must not look on Frank
lin street alone to see our growth. The
prices that prevail IN that neighborhood
forbid purchases except by the wealthy
While Franklin-streot houses end at Rich
mond College other parallel thoroughfares
are pretty well built up tom the corpora
ton lines to the Boulevard.
In some respects it is a misfortune
that the Legislature did not annex
to Richmond Manchester and the
suburbs of both cities. Then we
would have had population, even by the
United States census, of about 100000.
True, we have the population here now for
all practical purposes just as if that law
had peen passed, but we cannot fix the at
tention of the world Gas many other cities
similarly situated have done) by claiming
an increase in ten years from $4,000 10 1OO,-
900.
Our taxables, however, speak well. We
have here (not including State, city,
church. and other property exempt from
taxation) nearly S5i, 100000 of real and per-
sonal property. Henrico county and Man
chester have also largely increased.
So we insist that we are keeping up
with the procession"

MIR. Clevaland's Speech.

Mr.. CLEVELAND was the foremost speaker
at the banquet of the Reform Club in New
York last night, and what he said appears
in full in our telegraphic columns this
morning. The toast TO which be respond
ed was the 1.-The Campaign of Education"
which gave him suitable opportunity TO
review in good after-dnner style the ell
forts which have been made recently IN
behalf of tariff reform.
He spoke as if he attributed his defeat
for the presidency TO the fact that the edu-
cation of the people on this very impor-
tant subject had then just been begun.
Now he rejoices in the progress that has
been made and in the victory of November
4th, though he said: "Our work Is not
done. Our enemies are alive and have
grown desperate"
The speech was quite sprightly. Mr..
CLEVELAND improves in oratoIy. He did
not hesitate to utter some words OF kind
ness about the mugwumps, and deprecated
the course OF those who, clothed II
| Democratic uniform" would stand at the
entrance and "drive back recruits"
Governor HILL was not at the banquet
He was invited TO attend, but not to speak
The list OF orators, according to the New
York World, was made out by committee
upon which the mugwump element pre-
| dominated. Hence the Democratic Gov
ernor of the Empire State, the chic
contestant with Mr.. CLEVELAND for tn
presidential nomination, and one of tn
most effective instrumentalities in the de
feat of Mr.. MCKINLEY, was not invited K
| speak.
Governor HILL was right in resolving no
TO be present az more looker-on.
Mr.. CLEVELAND is not chargeable Will
the stupidity of the committee. No doub
his wishes were that Governor HILL shoul
be put down for speech so that the pee
pie might see and hear them both side b.
side.
