Tho Flower Market.
A. ~ I'LL

Perhaps fair compromise on the question
of the duration OF the Opeu-air flower market
on Union Square would be to extend the
closing time from o'clock 10 il or II o'clock
This would give opportunity for a snuch
larger number Of visitors and increase by 81
much the beauty and usefulness OF the show.
In London. at Covent Garden, the sale of
flowers TO dealers begins at O'Clock and
closes at 9 o'clock. The stock that is left is
sold at auction at 10 o'clock 70 mlddlemen
who buy in lots and sell to small retailers.
The flower-glrls join in the competition, ac-
cOrding TO a London Journal Taught kby
sharp experience they know exactly what b
purchase. and drive very smart bargains"
What Good Words says Of the COyent Gar.
den flower mart is coming true here
The pale-faced children OF the alleys and
by-streets Of this densely-populat~ ives,
central district diligently haunt the purities
in the spring. They have heard of green fields
aud buttercups and daisies. perhaps have
been told that the swallow and cuckoo hasten
over sea 10 spend a merry summer in English
meadows and copses. but the lunches and
baskets Of flowers which here fill them with
delight and wonderment are the only evi-
dence of such pleasant things hitherto
vouchsafed 20 them. They are 10 them tokens
of an unknown world"

ONE Of the best indications Of the growing
wealth Of Virginia Is the annual report Of the
Norfolk and Western Railway Company. so
far as 1t bears upon the increase in the num-
Der of their passenger and amount Of freight
in the course of the last few years. In the
year 1885 this company carried 3SS.Os passen-
gers. and during the year 1890 carried l.5i9.-
2Sl; an increase of POI per cent.
The number of tons of freight transported
increased from l,l99, 100 tons in 1885 10 $685.
695 tons in 1870 or 1922 per cent. The gross
earnings in 1885 were S2771,l2O, and in 1890
We're s7,56l,9l5, an increase Of l7S per cent.
And the net earnings increased from sI.I2l.-
S29 in 1885 TO S2,723. sos in 1890 an increase OF
l43 per cent The average number of miles,
operated in 1886 was SOB and in 1890 was s2ds
miles an increase of Ga per cent The gross
earnings per mile in 1886 were $500. and in
1880 1919, an increase of 6j per cent
These statements are very gratifying evil
dences of the increasing prosperity of the
country through which the Norfolk and
Western railroad passes Whatever advances
the welfare Of one part of the State promotes
the favorable condition OF the whole.

The Legislature of Florida consists of nine
ty-eight members. majority of whom or fully
sixty favor the present Senator from Florida
but there is rule that il takes a two-thirds
vote of the Democratic caucus 10 nominate a
Senator and as there are ninety-seyen Demo
Gratis in the Legislature. unless sixty
four votes can be obtained for a candi-
date he cannot obtain the nomination.
Irrespective Of any personal consideration
or any particular case. il is apparent that this
rule takes the control of the Legislature from
the majority and enables the minority TO in.
definitely postpone the business Of the body
until the majority yields in some measure tc
it.
In these long drawn-out conflicts. which
follow the attempts OF mutually obstinate
people have the proud satisfaction Of paying
the per diem OF members. and. II they are
satisfied, it certainly is nobody elses business

TARIFF REFORM THE ISSUE.

Ever since ex-President Cleveland wrote
his letter in opposition to the free and IN
limited coinage Of silver. the Democracy OF
the United States, who had almost by CON-
mon consent looked upon him as the ur-
doubted leader Of the party in '92. have been
more or less exercised over the question
whether he had not seriously injured himself
as candidate in the South and West. At
that time, it will be remembered, THE TIMES
took the position that Mr. Cleveland had not
hurt his chances, and that the silver question
could not be made q political issue before
the country. for two reasons; First, it
was q question upon which both the
great parties were equally divided, and there
fore must be compromised, and, second, that
inasmuch as more than year must elapse
before the campaign would be inaugurated,
and as the Fif.y-second Congress would. in
the mean time, have held its long session, the
currency problem would have been pretty
well solved Further than this it will also be
remembered, The TINES took the ground that
it would be absolute folly for the Democracy
to permit the Republican party TO force them
away from the tariff reform issue upon which
they had carried the popular vote in 1888, and
swept the country by cyclone majority in
1890.
II has been most substantially and practi-
cally shown that in taking these positions The
TIMES voiced the sentiments Of the people Of
Virginia. A few weeks ago our correspond
ents throughout the State interviewed lead
ing Democrats in their respective localities as
to their choice for the Democratic Presiden-
tial nominee in 1892. Replies from every sec
ton Of the Commonwealth were received, in
which Cleveland was declared the preference
Of the Virginia Democracy by decided ma
jority over the field, he leading Governor HILL
Of New York. his most formidable competi-
tor, by over 100 per cent. of the total express
sions Of opinion received.
To still further show the concensus Of
Democratic opinion in the State, however,
TIE TINES about two weeks ago addressed
another circular letter 10 its various CORE
spondents, requesting them TO ask number
of representative Farmer Democrats" in
their respective communities the following
question: Which in your opinion, is the
more important issue for 1S92-tariG reform or
free silver coinase?"
The result of these interviews are elsewhere
published. Over forty counties-nearly half
of the State-have sent in l72 replies. and the
summing up shows 1913 expressions of opinion
in favor of tariff reform. against only thirty
eight for free coinage, with eleven undecided.
As the result of these two series of inter-
views, therefore. the following facts are most
indisputably shown--that the Democracy Of
Virginia at large favor eIPresident Cleveland
as the Democratic leader, and that the Demo
cratic farmers of the State are overwhelm-
ingly in favor of tariff reform as the vital
issue in the next Presidential campaign.

TILE rIMEs, TRADE EDITIONS.

II is the intention of the management Of
The TINES to begin. at an early date, series
of special editions, devoted to advertising and
promoting the business. commerce and gen.
eral advantages of Richmond. The principal
features Of these editions will be to concisely
present the trade of the city. present and
prospective, its manufacturing enterprises,
its business opportunities. and its advantages
as a place Of residence-in short everything
pertaining TO the material importance and
substantial prosperity Of the city.
That their idea meets with the hearty APP
proval of our business mon IS shown by the
following letter from the Committee on Ad-
vertising of the Chamber Of Commerce
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE,
RICHMOND. Va. April 10. 1891.
The TINES Company, which has recently
enlarged It's paper and greatly increased its
circulation and influence. proposes at an early
date TO publish several special numbers. the
issue to be not less than forty thousand. and
to set forth in a condensed but prominent
shape the attractions, advantages. business
opportunities &c, of Richmond and the
vicinity.
Desiring the good will and cooperation Of
the community in this undertaking. the Com
mittee on Advertising Of the Richmon Cham
Der Of Commerce take great pleasure in e1-
pressing their high appreciation Of this liberal
and enterprising purpose on the part of The
TINES Company, and cordially commend
their public-spirited plan to the support
of the citizens Of Richmond in every way
that may be possible.
