A Resuectful Protest.

We are yet to hear any good reason
for reducing the number of electric
street-lamps. 1t is disapproved by nine
out of ten Of our people, and by none
more than by. the taxpayers. If the
city has no money in hand at this mo-
nent it has plenty of resources and am
pie credit
The movement in question is hurtful
to our enterprise and makes us appear
poor and non-progressive, while every
other community in the Commonwealth
is putting forward its best efforts to at,
tract business and show its public spirit.
We do hope the City Council will
forthwith take hold of the matter and re-
store the full quota of lamps.
1t is the popular demand based upon a
proper city pride and upon due regard
for the opinion Of the outside world.

The Dispatch's Noble Work.
fRlAcksfone Conrier.l


The great Democratic sentinel, the
Richmond Dispafch, in a leading edi-
torial on Wednesday of last week, makes
the following timely observation in re-
gard to the apparent Democratic apathy
in the present congress onal campaign:
1--WE fear that many active and spirit
ed young Demo rats, upon whom we
have heretofore largely relied to carry
the burden Of our canvasses, are at this
time too much engrossed with business
affairs. Their attention must be attract
ed their services must be re-enlisted,
and We now call upon every city and
county chairman to begin making as
signments for Registrations and election
day."
The Dispatch is doing its part grandly
and nobly in this struggle, and if the
Democracy is not thoroughly aroused it
will be no fault OF this excellent jour
nal. We fear this stupid state of affairs
exists to some extent in this district, in
this county, and even in this town, and
We call upon our people to put business
aside until the great political work before
as is accomplished Awake from this
lethargy before it is too late.

The Census

The official figures give tho popula-
.;on OF the United States at 81, 4SO, $40,
as against so, l55. 7s3 in 1880, an increase
of about % per cent, whereas the In
crease from 1870 to 1850 was 30 per
cent. This surprising conclusion Mr. Pom
TER attempts to explain by charging that
the census of 1870 was inaccurate. 30
il was but this OF 1890 is even more I'M
reliable. and is generally believed to be
the worst ever taken.
Virginia is now credited with a popu-
ln.ion of ], 64s.9ll as against l,5l2,565
in 1880. Up to few weeks ago the
Census Bureau estimated that our popu-
lation would be !, 10000.
We shall have to accept these alleged
results, and they will no doubt cause us
TO lose one member OF the House, but
we cannot be forced into the belief that
Justice has been done us.

rleotno-Car Accidents.

A halt must be called on the electric
street-car accidents. There has been
enough loss Of life. Remedies should
be applied if possible II not possible,
then some other motive power must be
substituted.
The deadly overhead wire, as it is
called in New York. has never killed or
manned any one here, but several
lives have been lost by the movements
Of the cars The car.wheels, not the
electricity, have done the damage.
The gates Just erected on the platforms
will prevent the danger heretofore ex-
perienced of men heedlessly jumping
upon the other track in the face OF q
passing car. But this y not sufficient.
The rGte of speed must be reduced, and
some sort Of pilot or " cow-catcher surely
can be arranged TO sweep fallen person
from the track. The framework at pres
ent in use is trap. Once caught be-
meath it death is certain, and 1t cannot
be fixed closer to the ground than at
present because due allowance must he
made for the undulatory motion OF the
car. We hope something can be done.
IL motif it is confessed that the &C.
MUS Of the inventors OF the land has
been exhausted-tben the electric cars
must 20 from all such crowded thorough
fares as Nam street.
We are far from joining in the cheap
warfare against the street-car lines and
we think they are often asked to do too
mnch, their income considered, but
here is matter OF the greatest conse-
quence here is an issue that must be
met, and better now than when public
passion moves with whirlwind force.
The cars will have to be run slower, and
there will have to be some sort of pilot
or " cow-catcher which will save life and
not crush it out. Perhaps row OF still,
heavy brooms of oak-splits or Of steel
made into pilot form Will serve the pur-
pose.
Surely some good device can DO Sc
cured. AT any rate it is certain that the
public will not consent to a continuance
of the present rate of loss of life.
The managers and operatives of the
street-car lines here are kind-hearted
and good men, and they are always dis
tressed when an accident occurs. They
do not desire to hurt any one, and they
do not wish their lines to make bad
reputation, but they must see that
greater safeguards should be adopted or
they VIII be always in trouble and the
public ever in danger.

General James A. Walker.
WYTHEvILLE, Va, Oct. %, 1890
D the Editor of the DiSpdloh:


To the Editor Of the DfSpGtch:
Dear Sir.-In the Richmond Dispatch
of this date see an article-correspond-
ence from Abingdon, | belieye-to the
end that General James a. Walker, of
this place, has renowned his allegi-
ance to the Democratic party" and will
vote for George #. Mills, etc.
The article does the Democratic party
and General Walker, too. in fact, great
injustice, for General Walker is not a
Democrat and has not acted with that
party since the Major Henry-Bowen con-
Rressional contest some four years ago.
Don't you think it would be well to make
the correction? FRIEND.
We doubt if General WALKER wishes
the public TO understand that he has
finally abandoned the Democratic party,
but we recently published his letter in
full, which states his position in this
canvass. That will do for the present.

We shall not question that Judge
HuGHEs rendered q correct decision on
Thursday when he said that the Fed
eral supervisors OF congressional cleo
tions had the right to copy the registra-
tion-books-that lie, il the statute under
which he rendered that decision is con-
stitutional. As to this point We say
nothing but We must beg leave to re-
mind Judge HUanRs that it would be
dangerous for the courts habitually to
make State officers Federal officers In
calculsble harm might result When
Congress passed a law under which
the salaries OF the State judges
we're taxed by the Federal Gov
eminent, that law was adjudged to DC
unconstitutional. Our fathers did not
leave it to Congress 10 name all the
qualifications OF the members Of the Ma
tional House Of Representatives. nor did
they assume to exercise that power in
the convention which framed the Federal
Constitution. On the contrary, they
provided in the Federal Constitution il.
self that the voters in each State should
have the qualifications requisite for cleo
tors Of tho most numerous branch OF the
State Legislasure--that is, each State
fixes the qualifications Of its representa-
lives in the lower house Of Congress

An Example for Richmond.


The Richmond Dispatch, itself al
ways progressive, is urging our capital
city to take some active measures look
ing TO the proper advertisement of the
city's attractions to the end that more
manufactures may be there established.
The Dispatch is right along the same
line urged by as on the people of our
county last week. The Pilot is already
on record as advocating Richmond
claims as the natural market for the
State at large and urging the people of
Virginia to take pride in her welfare,
and we heartily wish the Dispatch sue
cess in its efforts to further the interests
of our metropolis. If Richmond will
evince the enterprise that characterizes
the Dispatch there is q more glorious
future in store for her.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1890-11-01

We want more banks and larger bank
ing capital in Virginia and particularly
in Richmond. Investments here OF this
character pay well. All are successful
and the dividends declared are large. To
the people it matters very little whether
the banks are organized under State or
national laws, so that they make money
cheaper and more plentiful.
The banking capital of Richmond is
by no means as large as it ought to be,
but we may well rejoice in the conserya-
tism which guides its administration and
makes the banks so trustworthy and safe.
The american Banker says the
figures (which We give above) "show
that public sentiment in the South
against the national banking system is
ut last yielding to the superior advan-
tares which the national banks afford.
| The banner State is, of course, Texas,
which has long lain fallow in banking
matters, because the constitution dis
countenances granting charters to bank
organizations. This disadvantage Is
overcome by the establishment OF ma
tional banks, whose operations are now
thoroughly understood and appreciated
by the financiers of the Lone Star State.
In Kentucky. where the organization OF
banking enterprises has been active,
proportionally, as anywhere in the
South, the State bank system has re-
ceiyed the largest share of popular sup
port in the last year. The same may be
said of several other Of the States men
toned above. The advantages which
State organizations afford to the banking
movements of small communities arr
well recognized. They are enabled &c
do large real estate and land business,
which gives impetus to many OF the
smaller interests which make up thC
financial life of the small centres. "
