OF RICHMOND.

The growth Of Richmond in population
IN the course of the last decade has been
slow IL we compare IL with the growth OF
TIE Western towns which entered upon the
decade with the same number OF inhaDl-
tants. This difference, however. is not as
much a reflection upon the general progress
Of this city as it would appear at first sight
Owing TO special circumstances, the public
spirit of the Western towns is more active
and indefatigable than the spirit of our
southern towns, but the phenomenal ad-
vance which the former have made IN
wealth and population, is due in oyerwhelm'
ing measure 10 additions from outside.
Take any city in the West Of the same
size as Richmond, and eliminate the greater
part Of what il has gained from immigra-
ton, and 1t would be found that IT had not
made such rapid progress, as compared with
the progress Of this city, as to give it po
sitiou of notable superiority. This CON-
munity cannot be expected to move forward
with anything approaching the rapidly
with which the Western towns are adyanc-
ing, simply because the conditions that are
doing so much for the latter are totally alb
sent here. Practically, Richmond has re-
ceiycd little or no impulse from the opera
ton of those influences that follow in the
train Of that inflowing population which
has transformed the whole face Of the West.
Her growth has been an internal growth,
and as far as il has gone it has been most
satisfactory.
II is idle, however, to talk about the mag
nifcent prospects Of this city in any brief
extent of time. If Richmond is left to grow
by the force of the natural expansion Of its
own population, and the accumulation Of
wealth from within, il will not improbably
he half century before it will attain to
the proportions of a very large and very.
prosperous city, size and prosperity being
tested by Northern and Western standards.
When il has become such a city, it will pro
badly find that it has half a dozen rivals OF
equal importance with itself in the point
Of population and wealth in this state.
1t is perfectly clear that Richmond has no
just ground for thinking that it will become
a great city in the broadcast meaning of the
term within reasonable length of time,
unless 1t can draw to itself in steady
stream some part Of the wealth and popula-
ton of the Western and Northern commune
ties. 1t has already drawn upon the rural
communities of Virginia, but these drafts
have reached their limit. 1t must now
draw upon sections of country whose re-
sources are as ineXhaustible as the re-
sources OF the Northern and Western
States. The question Of the hour is what
are the most practical methods of diyerting
TO this community fair proportion of these
resources. Whoever gives the most salts
factory answer to that question is desery-
ing Of the popular gratitude.

THE active part which Congressman
Ewart has taken on the floor of Congress
in opposing the infamous force bill reflects
the very highest honor not only upon his III
tellectual capacity, but upon his independ-
ence of character, his patriotism, and his
warm regard for the best interests of the
South irrespective Of parties. He does not
profess TO be anything but Republican in
his political leanings, but he is Southern
or first and a Republican afterwards. If
there were more Republicans Of his person
al stamp in the Southern States, the Repub-
lican party would not have sunk there to
the low point in popular hatred which it
now occupies.

1t is idle to ignore the fact that what we
plant in literature IN the minds of our young
people, we shall reap instheir contribution
to the social and political character of our
institutions. We cannot feed them almost
exclusively on foreign novels Of the second,
third. and fourth class and expect them TO
have sympathy with American ideas, 10 be-
come acquainted with American traditions
and history. and 20 partake of the broad iel-
lOwship Of one section with another which
comes from contemplating the life of each
as reflected i'm its local literature. 1t is idle
TO decaim against case on Fourth of july
platforms. when the young men and women
who listen 10 YOU are imbibing, in their
daily reading, ideas Of snObbery, worship OF
rank. French social impurities, and many
other alien notions. We restrict immigra-
ton. and shall probably restrict it more;
but we have no restrictions against such in
sidiOus dangers.
What boots IL at one gate to make defense.
And at another to let in the foe?
Indeed we put premium on the spread
Of foreign ideas and evils by giving them an
artificial advantage i'm our own markets,
and when Americans cry fair play we
URGE i'm our defense that il is for the benefit
of the people. Meanwhile the people are
crying out to be relieved Of the imputation
Of being virtually receivers Of stolen goods.

DEAR BOOKS.

Now as 10 dear books. IL is acknowledged
that under the present system much of the
| literature OF Europe good, bad, and indif-
ferent-is cheap. Anything else could be
made and kept cheap which should be taken
without compensation 10 the maker. but il
must be borne in mind that this bill is not
retroactive measure, and therefore, that
all the literature Of Europe down TO the
date on which the bill goes into operation,
would be for all time not one
cent dearer by reason Of the bill.
The object of the bill is simply
10 draw n line and say: eve will now stop
this policy of pirating foreign books" The
only books which could possibly be made
more expensive by reason OF the law are
foreign books not yet published and ii is
certain that these will be Of better character
than those which are now published, and
that the cheap market will bc abundantly
supplied. A large compensation for any
increase IN the price OF this literature will
be found in the substantial decrease in the
price of American books which will be pos
si6le under the International Copyright.

The Pittsburg Traction Company, In the
hope that it will be able to stem the tide in
favor of the Duquesne Company, now pro-
poses to put on a line of buses, to connect
with the cable cars, on all streets where the
Duquesne Company proposes to operate its
lines. The officials of the company are now
figuring on the cost of putting on the
'busses, and if the money involved is not too
much the 'busses will be put on.
Word comes from Philadelphia that several
coach builders of the Quaker City are making
estimates on bids for l6 coaches to be built for
the Pittsburg Traction Company. They will be
patterned something after the tally-ho coaches
now running on Broad street, Philadelphia,
and in New York and will cost in the neigh
borhood of S. 600 each. The buses will be
double deckers, and seats will be arranged on
top for 'outside" passengers 1t is proposed to
have the 'busses run on North Highland and
Penn avenues east of Shady lane. The idea is
to shut out the Duquesne Traction Company,
and hold the patronage they now enjoy over
these Lhoroughfares. It is also proposed to
have three horses attached to each bus, as two
would be insufficient
If the company puts on the buses, it will
have to purchase about $50 horses and build
stables and sheds. The total cost of the pro-
posed scheme would be in the neighborhood of
is O question. 1t is thought people will not get
on the buses TO ride to the cable cars when
they can step onto an electric car and ride into
town without change of cars.
