why is Business Embarrasssd?
Philadelphia Times

The money market is as stringent today
no it was ten days ago, although the causes
which precipitated the reyulsion are now
well understood and the general solvency OF
the country not doubted. Why is 1t, there
fore. that severe stringency continues in the
money market! IL is not because there Is
not money TO aid business. There have been
some unusual demands for money by the re-
turn OF American securities from abroad
and for the moving Of large crops; but
there is no reason why the strangling none
tary striugencey should continue Tor an
other day.
The single reason, or rather the single OK
cuse. for the continued stringency In the
money market is the want Of general conf
dence in business and financial circles.
Each bank or other institution having de-
posils subject 10 call, distrusts ITSELF dis
trusts its depositors and distrusts every
body, aud, instead of aiding legitimate
business Just when it most needs it, the
financial institutions are terrorized into
calling in their loans, locking up their
money and waiting for panicky runs upon
them that are certain not 10 come unless
the bankers themselves produce panic by
breaking business men who are fairly en-
titled 10 credit.

ApRnGRESsINE CITY

Roanoke IL an active and progressive
city, and in the general course which il IS
pursuing with view to the promotion Of
the various interests, il il setting an exam
pie which Richmond, with its greater popu'
lation and larger wealth, can follow with
advantage.
An excellent scheme has recently been
suggested by an enterprising citizen OF the
Magic City which has been taken up and is
now being earnestly pressed by its leading
journals as worthy of adoption. This
scheme is for the city of Roanoke 10 estab-
lish at once a bureau of information in Wall
street for the purpose Of advertising the in-
dustral advantages Of Roanoke as the cen
tire OF Southwest Virginia.
prominent citizen, in an interview with
a representative Of the Roanoke Times, pro-
poses that bureau shall be established in
Boston as well AZ in Wall street, on the
ground that ''mOre New England capital is
erming South than from any other section"
The opinions Of large number OF leading
citizens have been obtained by the same
journal, and without exception they favor
the establishment Of such bureau as the
most practical means Of calling special at
tention 10 the various advantages which
Roanoke and the general section OF country
in which 1t is situated, have 10 offer CAPT
talists who wish TO make investments, or
persons in search Of Southern homes.
On the whole, the Roanoke plan promises
TO be superior in effectiveness to the pro-
posed organization recently under advise
ment in Norfolk for the promotion of the diff
ferent material interests Of that thriving
city. 1t would be quite easy, however, TO
combine promoting society, composed Of
active and intelligent business men, with a
bureau in New York city, for the dissent
nation OF information which will be in de-
mand.
Every city in the State should utilize
these two means Of bringing before the
Northern public the manifold advantages
which each can present. Richmond, above
all, should take the lead in such move
ment. There Is every reason.to believe that
it would never regret the expenditure
which would be required for the establish
ment In New York OF Just such a bureau as
the citizens Of Roanoke have now under
consideration for the adyancementof their
own prosperity.
This 10 the day when judicious advertise
ment has to be employed to attract the at
tention OF the world. With energetic and
trained agents in the city OF New York who
would be brought into direct communica-
ton with every channel Of wealth in the
Northern States, Richmond would soon feel
that q very notable impulse had been given
10 her progress, and this impulse would
only gain In force with the passage OF time.
1t 10 evident that Roanoke has fully de-
cided 10 carry out this proposition for the
promotion of its own welfare. Richmond
should not fail behind that enterprising city
in the adoption of every means that will
increase the brightness Of her own material

SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1890,
.nIs.pporNrEp REPUBLICAN.

The Washington Post Of Friday contains
the details OF an interesting iniervie" VIII
Mr.. Rowell, the chairman OF the Elections
Committee OF the present House. Mr.. ko-
well. IL will be remembered, was defeated
NJ the last election, but II the substance OF
the interview referred TO is correct, then he
has failed TO catch the true meaning OF the
popular verdict at the polls on the 4th q
November.
In the fret place he distinctly iniimates
that the committee over which he presides
will report adversely to the claims oil the
only two Democrats whose seats IN Con-
yress arc now in dispute. This course OF
proceeding has Mr.. Rowelrs warm APP
croyal. Notwithstanding the fact that the H.
.iustice OF ousting Democratic Congress
men. who had been duly elected by the peo-
ple. was one Of the principal causes when
led to the universal Republican overthrow
"rhe recent election" remarked MI.
Rowell, "has demonstrated that the elec-
ton law is necessary not only in the South,
but In the North and West as WELL"
This is a decided enlargement upon The
position taken by the chairman Of the Elec'
tons Committee before the popular con-
demration Of the Republican course OF leg
islation had been expressed. Previous tt
that. MIR. Rowell was in favor Of the Lodge
bill being confined in its operation TO the
Southern States, but having been badly de'
teated as candidate for Congress, he a.
lows his resentment TO carry him so far az
10 demand that the Law shall be made ap
ulicable TO every Congressional district II
the Union.
III the bill is 10 be passed the people 81
the South will be slow TO object to the eN
tension Of its scope to every part OF The
Republic. "The bill" said Mr.. Rowell, "h
a necessity in every section where there II
danger OF frauds in the elections, and espe
cially where money il used TO buy votes
Here is a remarkable change OF tune, fol
in the light Of these words it would appeal
90 be the opinion Of Mr. Rowell that a ma
tional election law was more needed III th'
North than in the S0uth-an acknowledg
ment which he would not have made durins
the last session Of Congress, or now IL M
had been reelected. Such an expression o
opinion simply goes TO show what has beer

OF the course pursued by this representative

Oyster Question In Maryland.
baltimore Il srald.l

Considerable interest is manifested in va
rous parts of Maryland regarding the des-
tiny of the oyster industry. Particularly Is
the mind of experts and scholars beng at
tracted to the subject, and it is to be hoped
that as a Commonwealth we are approach
ing "A scientific and rational solution of this
question. In word, the evidence is clear
that the oyster supply in the Chesapeake Is
doomed unless extraordinary means are
employed to preserve and maintain it.
The gradual extinction of the oyster in
Maryland proceeds along the common
ground of the disappearance of wild birds
aud game from the forests. oysters, like
the American bison or the delicious canvas
back, are a fera natur1-a part OF nature 5
provision for the wants Of man. But when
ever civilization undertakes to depend upon
the unaided resources Of nature for its sus-
tenance it invariably staryes or breaks
down the original supply of food. This has
been exemplihed thousand times IN the
history OF the world, and is in fair way 10
! be emphasized again in the complete denu-
dation of the Chesapeake oyster beds.

AxuysrEp CHAIR.

A day or two ago Mr.. Lyon q. Tyler,
president OF William and Mary College,
wrote letter to THE TINES calling atten-
Zion to the suggestion Of General Bradley
| L. johnson that chair be established, al
that or some other college, fer an experi-
mental farm 70 be devoted to the study
OF oyster culture. The idea Is an ad-
mirable one. All accounts agree that,
because Of lack OF legal protection, the
oyster industry, which could under proper
fostering be made a source OF immense reye-
nue. TO Virginia, is rapidly declining. To
such an extent Is this the case that unless
something's done 70 avert il, so Ear from
our oysters being a means OF profit. II ~
not improbable that in very few years th'y
will be altogether destroyed.
Its well known that under existing con-
diiions the rights 10th Of the oyster planter
and OF the State are persistently being VIC
lated and ignored by pirates, and under the
system OF dredging, which is hsbitualiy
practiced, not only the smaller oysters but
even the tiniest seed are destroyed, and our
Virginia biyalyes are taken of by the ship
load 10 the North, where they are planted IN
Northern streams and served up TO New
York epieures, who in many cases never
before tasted the luscious bivalye injts
perfection, as cherry-stnDes, saddler0cks;
and other fayor1te varieties. 1t is plain
that ifthis state OF affairs is permitted long
% continue our own citizens will in very
few years find their supply for even ordi-
nary consumption so materially reduced as
to be beyond the means OF the average man.
william and Mary, situated as she is in
the heart Of Tidewater Virginia, and mid
way between those two great oyster pro-
ducing rivers, the York and the James, Is
above all other similar institutions espe-
cially suitable for such chair, and the
state could make no better invest
ment than by its establishment and
liberal endowment. In this way the study
Of the culture Of the popular bivalve could be
conducted on systematic and scientific prin-
ciples. and the natural result would be a
state oyster bureau, which would satisiac-
torily guard, in every respect, our oyster
interests, and be in position to recommend
TO the Legislature exactly such laws ms
would be found necessary for their efficient
| protection. Certain il is that something
should be done, and done quickly, unless
our people are prepared to passively submit
to their oysters being eXterminated.

A.. U,wIr ktTarfI

The appointment Of Mr.. Paul Dana to be
a Park Commissioner is somewhat OF sur
prise. not because Of any unftDess on his
part, but because he had not been thought
OF in connection with the place. Mr.. Dana
is not known as landscape artist, but II IS
perhaps not necessary that Park COMMITS
sioner should be equipped in that way. He
il not a man who makes a living by politics.
and in accepting a place on the Park Board
the only motive that can be supposed to in
fluence him Is a desire to render a service to
the public.

THE Mobile Register complains very
Justly Of the small salaries that are paid
the state officials Of Alabama. The salary
Of the Attorney General is only sl,3I5; that
Of the Secretary Of State, Sl,SOO; the state
Treasurer, 81, 100; the State Auditor, $3.50
and the superintendent Of Education, $500
The Register, after stating these facts
very properly declares "that these are sala
ries that many book-keepers in large mer
camille firms receive, and also secretaries Of
insurance companies. The officials who
have charge OF the affairs OF the great state
Of Alabama ought certainly to receive as
large salaries as those received by book
keepers and secretaries"
