4 LESSON IRON EXPERIENCE.

The main objection offered to Secretary
Windows Bullion bill, in its original form. was
that if gave the Secretary great and danger
Gus discretionary power to expand or contract
the currency, by suSpcnding or rcSuming the
deposits of silver bullion. TO this the Sccrc-
tary replied with truth that the law already
cayc much greater Discretionary power to him
alone. while the bill would confer "A power upon
the Secretary only with the approval of the
President. But not many are aware how great
the discretionary power of the Secretary al
ready is. or how carefully it has to be cXcr-
ciscd in order to guard against mischief Two
recent illustrations ought TO cnlightcn men on
the subject.
In the month of February. having expanded
the currency very freely during the winter
when expansion was needed and being Obliged
to take back part of the money put out in order
TO be prepared for later emergencies, the Sec
retary diminished the actual circulation outside
the Treasury by Sl0.276.9G3. In the month
of March. because disturbance was feared at
tie principal money markets, he deemed it
wise to purchase bonds more freely. and by
that means and larger pensions payments he
expanded the active circulation outside the

Speaking Of sidewalk distractions, The Chicago

career of Long John Wentworth While Went
worth was Mayor of Chicago lie made earnest
but unsuccessful effort, by means of public ap-
meals and circumstances, TO induce his fellow-cit-
zcns TO rccollect that sidewalks are public, and
not private property Finally, he gathered up in
a single night, by the aid of the police. all the
boxes. bales, barrels. bundles. and truck Of any
sort that trespassed uEUn the sidewalks. The in
tercsting and varied collection was deposited at
one of the police stations. and the result was n
wholesome reform. 1t may occur to Mayor Grant
some of these days TO make a similar collection
although it is doubtful if any one station-house
would hold all the contributions which would
come into his hands if ne went about his task
determined to he thorough. \ large number of
persons doing business in the metropolis proceed
on the assumption that the public have no right
on sidewalks which they are bound to respect

mistake under which they have been laboring

WOrkhOuSes.

We have received a copy Of the goth an
nual report Of the Board of Workhouse
Directors of Cincinnati for the year end
ING December 81, 1889. We find that there
are some evils connected with awOrkhouse.
OF the commitments during the year the
average of sentence was about forty-onc
DAYS. These short sentences have materi-
ally interfered with the financial success
of the institution.
From Cleveland this report quotes testi-
mony that the workhouse system has there
failed in the reformation of q vast ma
iority of the cases that have come under
its operation" The following will serve
to illustrate, saws the Superintendent OF the
Cleveland workhouse, the enormous ex-
pense in thus experimenting with old
time offenders, though mostly young in
years.:
! A, young man, previous commitments
49 times; twice during this year. j, a
Young man, % times in the past; 8 times
| during the year. c, middle-aged man. IL
/ times once during past year. ID, q young
| MN, As times, and 3 times during the year.
| T.. an old woman, IS times in the past and
/ 3 tunes in the year. X, a woman under
| fifty wears of age, sc times IN the past, and
| 6 times in the year. l., q woman under
| thirty years, 26 times. Nj, woman under
| forty years, q times.
MOSTLY young in years" The Cleveland
workhouse does not seem TO be any more
successful as a reformatory than the Rich
mond Jail.

About HOtplS.

1t seems TO be universally conceded here
that Richmond needs new hotel-one
which will attract northern visitors during
the winter season, and tourists from every
country in the world during the other
seasons, and make the sight of such
strangers familiar feature of our every
day life.
The Washington Post evidently thinks
that the national capital also needs a new
hotel, notwithstanding the fine hotels
already there. II says that " it is slightly
rasping to our American pride that the
finest hotel on the continent, instead OF
being located at Washington, is to be built
in the City of Mexico; but such seems to
be the settled fact. 1t is to be two
million-dollar hotel and to be completed in
two years"
The City of Mexico will soon be so well
known in the United States that bridal
tours will be made TO that city.

The Pan-American Delegates.

Inc Pa0-AmcIlCdH OtitkhIto'
II is now settled that Richmond is one
Of the three places in Virginia which the
Pan-American delegates viii visit upon
their southern tour.
II snot TO be expected that this city can
vie in all respects with the large and rich
northern cities which the delegates have
already visited. But there is hospitality
iistinctively Virginian or southern-or
rather there is a southern or Nirginlan
manner of showing hospitality-which diff
ferentiates Virginian reception from any
our visitors have seen or experienced else
where. We know how to make strangers
"feel at home" This is not said in boast
full spirit but is what visitors from the
North have themselves said whilst here.
II was in effect testified TO by Mr.. HoaE in
a speech he made in the United States SEN
ate last year in replying to something that
Mr.. DANIEL had said.
il is not necessary to remind our people
that we should if possible make tbese, South
rons feel that we, too. are Southrons. Rich
mond "is no mean city" as ST.. PAUL said
Of his city; and Virginia is no mean State.
On the contrary, as We said two weeks ago.
she il as tho capital Of the late Confederate
States place interesting to all the world,
and as the capital of Virginia entitled TO
high consideration. As the State which
had more than any other State to do with
the formation of the Union, Virginia ought
70 stand high in the esteem of all the other
States. As the birthplace of WASHINGTON,
JEFFERSON, MADISON. MONROE, r. L. LEE,
SroNEwA1L JACKSON. and thousand other
statesmen and heroes, Virginia ranks as
high as if she had a government of her
own independent of the Union of States.
All that is necessary to q reception which
will not suffer in comparison with any our
visitors have experienced is for our people
to become interested in the subject.

All this talk is bosh. The negroes must
live with the whites, or nowhere. Look at
their condition wherever they try TO have
government of their own. They are
parasitic race, and cannot change their ma
ture. They must be supported by the
whites. All the race troubles in the South
are caused by "oolored people," as has
been SAID, and not by negroes.
