at the Y. M. G.. A. building, is not only
an expert in all the exercises of the
gymnasium, but is II we'll trained, scien-

exercises is very entertaining. The de-

which the greatest good may be accom-

to guard against accident, and the gym

models of neatness and comfort We
would advise parents to drop in some
evening and see for themselves. We are
sure they will appreciate the advantage S

In Favor Of Metal Ties,

| -t-ON~S%
The Bulletin
| The evidence laid before the recent Railroad
Congress in Paris pointed clearly to the econo
my to be gained by the use of metal ties.
In Switzerland metal ties have been i'm service
sufficient length of time to give some reliable
evidence OF their value as compared with wood
They were there subjected to severe tests of eli
mate, gra lient. and curves. The report from
Mr., Meyer, the chief engineer of the Western
railro III of Switzerland and the Simplon rail
road, was that since 1883 metal ties had been
used for a considerable portion of the renewals
on all Sc .tions of the road i'll his charge, the to
tai length now in use being more than sixty
eight miles, representing l26,990 ties in track
and that all renewals are now made with them
in consequence of the satisfactory service they
had given. OF the number laid down since Iss.
only foIty-three ties had been taken out for
breakage or other causes.
1t is impossible yet to say what would be their
duration, as the first laid down show no dete-
rioration, but out of the same number of oak
ties under similar conditions of time and traffic
they alrea ly had had to replace between 10000
and 5000. 1t was found sufficient to space them
three feet from centre to centre. The gradients
are as high as 2.3 per cent, while the traffic
amounts to thirty trains day in each direc-
ton, and the maximum weight of the engines
is six tons per wheel ana maximum speed forty
miles an hour. The experience of the COMPANY
is that there is q notable decrease of ordinary
road maintenance cost after the second year with
the metal tie. On this point another Swiss com
pany stated that Oh a section of l2.9 miles, laid
with metal ties, against the same length of sec
tlon laid with new wooden ties, the cost of main
tenance mot renewal was for the third wear
1869 against 81 ,5r, or about As per cent From
all the Swiss railroads the verdict was i'm favor
of metal ties
Herr l,rauns, at the recent meeting of Ger
man metallurs ists at Dusseldorf, stated that on
the Prussian railways alone l,66S, l79 metal ties
have been laid since 1886. This action has taken
after long continued tests.
The Mexican Railway Company Also after ex
tended experience, has adopted steel ties as the
standard, and at the end of June of this vear
had laid seventy seven miles of road with them
The engineer of the roal states that the track
with them is exceptionally good, while IT. is
maintained at much less cost than before.

Roseland Iron ana Coal Company.

We learn that the developments at
this great iron property are going on
very satisfactory. The last analysis of
the specular ore which we noticed was
1859 metallic iron, and less than one
tenth of one per cent. of phosphorus.
This was at a depth of So feet. Since
then the drill has been sunk to the
depth of 81 feet, striking the last vein
at 50 feet The ore al this depth is es-
timated to be at least so to So per cent
of metallic iron, if not much higher
The old shaft of 80 feet is being cleaned
out, where 80 and SO per cent. of metal
lie iron was ascertained by Booth and
Garrett, of Philadelphia. The same
class of ore is mined at the Cornwall
district, Pennsy lvania, at from 400 to
600 feet below the surface. and in the
Gogebic district, Michigan. from 600 to
800 feet. Col. Houston. of the C"oZier
Furnace, Roanoke. was on Roseland last
week, as we learn, and after a careful
examination, pronounced it one of the
grandest properties on the continent.
He has contracted for a large quantity
of the ore, we are informed.
The near future will, we believe, de-
monstrate all that is claimed for Rose
land, and place it as the phenomenal
iron property of the South.

The Debt OueStiOn.

We publish elsewhere Il message from
Gov. p. w. Mckinney, to the Legisla-
ture, enclosing letter from the foreign
creditors of the State.
The message is not such Il paper as
should have been presented on the oc-
c;lsion 1t does not deal with the Ques
ton in that direct way that the impor-
lance of the question demands. 1t is not
so much what parties in the emergencies
of Il contest for power, have said or done,
or the people have passed upon, instiga-
ted to abnormal excitement by politi
Clans but what is right. The Riddleber
ger measure, to which reference is uni
iormly made as a final settlement of the
debt question, is no settlement at all as it
now stands. 1t was Il repudiating meas
ure from the first, so far as the interest
feature was concerned. No one pre-
tended to defend the 3 per cent. provis-
ion when the original contract called
for per cent, except as Il necessity
growing out of the Impoverished condi-
ton of the State The debt formulation
in that bin was substantially correct,
but the 3 per cent. interest clause was
reputation to the extent of three per
cent.
There is margin here for negotiation,
and it is the duty of the State to APP
proach the subject in a spirit OF fairness
and Justice, regardless of what political
parties have done in the past, or their
attitude to the question at present.
There should be manifested some of the
Old time Virginia integrity in this mat
ter. The debt has been the hobby of
demagogues long enough Let states
manship be displayed i'll its consideration
now, and the whole question taken up,
discussed and determined in the light of
a purpose to do right as far as it is in
the power of the State to do so.
The message reads. as though it had
been patched up, spliced and grated, to
suit conflicting aims and Earrassina
fears 1t has not the right ring about
it, nor does It inspire a conviction that
the primary consideration is 10 be jus
tice all around The time has come fol-
brave, aye, heroic action on the part OF
the State, and it should be taken re
gardess of the political fortunes OF men
or the fears of party leaders. There
ought to be n definite settlement OF the
debt question. 1t is to the interest OF
all that there shonld be, for Virginia
will never advance as she should without
such a consllmmation is effected.

What is Castor1a?

Castoria is Dr. Sam1. Pitchers pre-
scription for Infants and Children. 1t
contains neither opium, morphine nor
other narcotic substance. 1t is a harm
less substitute for paregoric, drops,
soothing syrups, and castor OIL 1t is
pleasant. Its guarantee is thirty years
use by millions of mothers. Castoria
destroys worms and allays feverishness.
Castoria prevents vomiting, sour curd,
cures diarrhma and wind collie. Castoria
relieves teething troubles, cures -consti-
patton and flatulency. Castoria assimi-
lates the food, regulates the stomach
and bowels, giving healthy and natural
sleep. Castoria is a child's panacea-
the mothers friend.

MilliOnaireS.

We cannot understand why it is that
men who through their sagacity and bu-
siness ability have accumulated fortunes,
must be denounced by the public press
as enemies to the community and un-
fitted for public trusts. 1t is an evidence,
to our mind, when a man has shown ca
pacty for the successful conduct of pr
vate business, that that should commend
him for public business. Take, for in
stance, Postmaster-Ge General Wanamal1er.
There is great hue and cry about his
wealth and the amount he raised for the
National campaign of 1888 If Mr.. Wan
amakcr believed that the interests of the
country would be promoted by the elec
ton of Republican President, it was
his duty as Il citizen to aid "a phe accom-
plishment of that result in all legitimate
WAYS, and to contribute to the amount
of his ability to assist in the matter. 1t
is no crime to contribute to a good cause,
whether i'll religion or politics, and
sometimes it is just rs essential to use
money in the one ease as the other. A
]
church is Iauded by everybody, because
it is thought to be for the benefit OF
mankind. A similar contribution to a
political policy, involving the veal or
woe of the country, ought to be com
mended. in the measure that good re-
suits would be wrought out by it. 1t is
pure sensational demagogism to de-
n ounce men because of the interest they
take in government, and the best policy
to perfect its operation and promote
the general welfare The street corner
Statesman. full of rum and bombast,
may contribute his five dollars as the
limit of his means. and be praised for so
doing. If Il successful business man
contributes according to his means, and
from a conviction that he is doing good
for the country. why not give him the
credit of honest purpose and laudable
motive2
The people are getting very sick of the
cheap demagoguery, that assails wealthy
men who have gathered their riches by
honest Industry and sagaeious man
agement They should be held up as
examples worthy of emulation, rather
than as cormorants to be avoided and
stunned.
