What Virginia Must Do at the Fair

v v -
The management of the Worlds Fair
has been and will continue to be literally
criticised. This is one OF the privileges
of our free land, and it is the most effec-
tunl method we have Of holding our
public servants up to the duties and re-
sponsbilities of their positions.
But, after all, we daresay we shall
have very grand exhibition in 1891,
and we most earnestly hope that Nir-
ginia will have a good display there.
In 1876, when the great Centennial
Exposition was held at Philadelphia,
this State made poor showing. The
Legislature would do nothing and really
the public seemed to have no conception
of the importance of the matter. In
fact at that day only few OF our people
gave full faith and credit to what ex-
perts reported about the mineral re-
sources of the State. A man W no talked
much on this subject was generally set
down as bore and was avoided.
Now all of us are beginning to appre-
ciate the vast wealth that lies buried in
orr mountains. Nearly all ofthe county
people are looking to the future more
hopefully, and there is scarcely town
or city in the Commonwealth that is not
on "boom."
We think Virginians will see to it that
the State is represented at Chicago. The
Legislature ought to make as large an
appropriation for this purpose as pos
sible, and the sum thus secured should
be supplemented in some fashion by oul
cities and counties, railroads and I'M
proyement companies.
TO do what will be creditable TO us The
sooner we begin the better. We must
first ascertain what is desirable and prac'
ticable and then proceed to do it. AL
this will require time. thought, and sys
tenn.
We suggest that our Chamber OF Com
merce some time this winter call here {
conference Of representatives OF Cham
bers, Of railroad and Improvement com
NAMES, and, above all. Of farmers anC
farmers alliances, to outline programme
Of operations.
BY cooperation We can do what other
wise would be impossible.
We have no time to lose. There is to
be fair in Richmond IN 1891, and /
good county exhibits are sent here mex
year they can be added to and grouped
and forwarded to Chicago without mucl
additional cost.
We despair OF this being done with
out the supervision Of some capable or
ganizstion. and we do not know hoy
better to go about getting that than II
the manner proposed.
II will be double stroke Of fortuna
to have good exhibit at Richmond il
1891 and at Chicago in 1892.
What say our brothers Of the press

Theatre Company's Pictures.

To the ICdttoT or me DiSpdtch
Will you kindly tell the public who is
responsible for the large quantity of pic
lures, which are outrageously obscene
and which are t. be seen in many win
dows and on advertising-boa in the
city ? IL this theatre company displays
such pictures outside. what may he ex-
pected from the real performance
OBSERVER.
II the pictures are really obscene the
police can have them taken down. They
have done SO here. But there are many
opinions as to what is "obscene." Per-
formances that draw audiences of intelli-
gent, refined, and fashionable people
would be called "obscene" by some
other persons. Where neither the law
nor public opinion draws a distinct line
it is asking too much that the police
should NEEDLE, but on any occasion any
citizen can procure warrant against q
bill-poster and have the question sub
mitted to judicial Interpretation.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1890-11-23

as II does, original jurisdiction to the
Supreme Court "in ell cases affecting
ambassadors, other public ministers and
consuls, and those in which State shall
DO a party" All cases coming within
this provision must necessarily be left to
the Supreme Court This may be done
and yet full relief be granted to our
Court OF Kings Bench.

have been elected on straight tickets. "
The Farmers Alliances have a rep.esen-

The diligence with which Mr.. BLAINE S
riends are insisting that he is well and
strong raises the presumption that they
fear his opponents will endeavor to dis
miss his claims with the allegation that
his health will not permit him to stand
the excitement and work of a campaign.
Mr.. BLAINE is nearly sixty-one years OF
age. He regularly walks four or five miles
q day, and is said to be in fine spirits.
He no doubt feels that he is the Man OF
the Hour on the Republican side.

increased rather than decreased the value
of property along the route in question.
