The Coming Fashionable Resi-

F. J.. Kimbal president of the Norfolk and Western
railroad: THE property of the Roanoke Gas and
Water Company and Crystal Spring Land Company
in my opinion is destined to become the fashionable
residence section of Roanoke"
More elegant houses will undoubtedly be erected there
during the spring and summer than in any other part
of the city.
The Parkersburg Investment Company, H. G. Cole
manager, Jefferson street, have few of the
choicest lots in the Crystal Spring property for sale
These lots situated just the and are the
most desirable of the entire property. They are 40
by $50 feet in size and situated high rolling ground
command magnificent view Of the city and the dis.
tant mountains. The contract has been awarded to
lay water mains through the streets of the property,
and electric street car line will place residents in
almost any part of the city in a few minutes
Only houses of rstcass quality be erected the
property, and the lots equally desirable the
best in the West End, upon which such large sums
of money made last year.
The lots of the Parkersburg Investment Company
be bought for ONE THIRD OF THE PRICE THE

will show that they offer the best investment in the

WILL NEW YORK APPROPRIATE.

Ever since Congress determined upon
Chicago as the city to be honored by the
Worlds Fair in 1898, the New York pa
pers have either maintained a discreet
silence on the subject or confined them
selves to a few rather good ma tured
slings at the legislative decision, be-
You'd chronicling in due season the steps
taken towards the end in view. The
tone of editorial policy has not been
rabid in the extreme, as far as generali-
ties 60, and there has been every reason
to suppose the national project would be
accorded liberal support from tho En-
pire State through it's big journals, if
from no other reason than natural pride
in the commonwealth showing on the
opening day of the exhibition.
Lately, however, the wind appears to
have veered and the dormant element
of belittling, due beyond question to
the refusal of New York S claims in the
matter, has assumed a curious phase
Commenting upon the action of the
State legislature in adjourning with a
large number of unpasscd or uncon-
sidered bills upon it's file, the Sun pays
attention to the still unauthorized ap-
preparation for the Worlds Fair. Mr..
Dana again stirs up the old question,
but hurls his defiance with an altered
spear point
The nonsensical reason is assigned
"a ii.
New York on account of it's political
complexion and gave it to Chicago in
stead. The amusing side of this argu-
ment is all the more glazing when the
fact is taken into consideration that the
city by the lake is almost without ex-
'ception of the same majority persua-
sion, when its municipal makeup is
considered and neither in national or
State elections has Chicago failed to
show its party strength, although in
ternal splits have now and then per-
mitted OF q change in tho mayoralty
politics.
The Suns attitude in an attempt to
applaud any disposition to shirk the
question of appropriations seems very
much after the fashion of the sulky
school boy and does not como with
good grace from representative insti-
ton OF city whose eagcrncss to
monopolize everything of public or
national character is as notorious as
the metropolitan hardness in bringing
those self same projects to a success

To DC Edi.or Of De Dispatch

&hAhAfbA AA-cNAALhf ~
To ne Editor Of DE D,SDdtch;
Kindly answer these questions in the
DISPATCH OF Sunday. December 9Th:
i, How many negroes are there in the
United States? How many live north Of
the sc-called Mason Il Dixon's line?
z. What estimatedp per cent. Of real estate
do negroes own in the South?
Yours truly, w.
The exact number of negroes returned
for the census Of 1890 is not as yet known.
1t has been estimated that the total negro
population of tho United States in 1890 was
about seven and one half millions.
The Census Office is in possession Of no
figures which will give the actual OF esti-
mated amount Of property owned
by negroes in the South. I'm only
two Of the southern States are
separate records kept--Yirginia and
Georgia-and these are very i'm
perfect" No special provision was made
By Congress for this inquiry, and conse-
oucntly no effort was made 10 obtain the
data.
Census Bulletin No. 4s says: The rela-
tive rate Of increase Of the white and col
ored population of the southern States
curing the last decade Is q matter OF such
general importance and interest as 10 de
inaud special attention. What is termed
the race count has therefore been made for
the South Atlantic and South Central
States, and for Missouri and Kansas in adj
vance of the main work Of tabulation.
The total population embraced in this
count is q, S75, 259, OF which 16, 1865. 205 were
white, {. $50. 1GG colored. and 10, 1888 Chinese,
Japanese. and Indians. In the States here
with included were found in 1890 fifteen
slIteenths of the entire colored population
OF the United States so that for the pur-
pose OF Immediately asceTtaining the per
centage Of increase the returns Of these
States are adequate and not likely TO be
materially affected by the returns of the
other States aud Territories. where the
colored population is small.
Numerous tables follow, some of which
may be servIceable to our correspondent.
copy Of the bulletin may be obtained by
writing to the Superintendent Of the
Census at Washington.

The Squirrel Passing Around.

1AANNhbthbt Ne
TO he Editor Of he Dispatch:
In your issue Of Sunday, goth November
1871. the old squirrel problem" comes
up again; and / am surprised TO see that
Won are Of opinion that the man went
around the squirrel.
In order that one object should "go
around " another the reldGUe position of
the two objects at the time the gong
around begins must be changed in the pro-
cess of CircumventiOn. In the case sup
posed the breast of the squirrel is dlICdys
opposite the eyes of the man. IL was
never possible for the man 20 have seen
the back OF the squirrel. Otherwise he
vould have shot him. The man has gone
around the tree: 30 has the squirrel, but
the man has not gone around the squirrel.
IL is very true that when one has gone
around tree he has gone around every
thing on the tree which is stationary, but
il is very different thing as to objects
D,orinq on the tree. The whole problem 10
one of rrlatiUty II position. II tins does
not change there can be no gong
around " in the ordinary acceptatlon OF the
term. W. H. H.
As we have said twice, there is differ
once Of opinion on this subject.
Suppose the squirrel were out of sight of
the person passing around the tree, or was
in the hollow of the tree and simply turn
ed himself so as TO present his face ali the
time 20 the person passing around the
tree. would any one deny that he had been
passed around?
When the man has passed. around the cir
conference of the circle there is no doubt
OF the fact that in one sense he has passed
around everything within that circumfer-
cnce.

RICHMOND. Va, November 30, 1891.
l. II ten men N any physical contest
overcome FIVE other men, the latter may
nevertheless be equal individually II not
superior TO the former.
q. That superior physical strength IS no
evidence Of superior character or lntelli-
gence. ,.....
another because Of another's inferior ply
steal powers.
A That the men Of the South having
taken superior part in framing the Constl-
tuition of the United States may be sup
posed TO understand that instrument as
well as the men of the North.
5. That no man of sense would find
fault with a fellow-man TOR chersnlng
mementoes OF az cause that was once
dear TO him.
8 That memento flag and flag of al
active, living instruction are two things
as different as light and darkness or life
and death. 4 fond mother, IN cherishing
even the soiled shoes of her little dead
child. does not think of rebelling against
Gods providence, and the man VINO would
speak Ill of her on this account IS brute.
7. That a lost cause is not necessarily
wrong or dishonest cause. koscluskohnd
Limoday have not suffered in the estlma-
ton of mankind by the failure OF their pa
tTiotic endeavors.
3. That the citizen of the State owes no
military obedience to the President of the
United States brt to the Governor OF his
own State. When. therefore, he takes up
arms on the order of the Governor he does
so IN obedience to the only legal authority
known to him. ,
9. No citizen who obeys all the laws Of
his State (unless he be United States
office-holder) can by possibility, be rebel
in an offensive sense against the Unlted
States. Whether the Government can rebel
is another question.
From the foregoing common-sense propo-
sitions l think We may safely conclude
l. That no southern man should, by
word or act, concede for one moment, IN
anu sense. that he has lowered himself By
being a good Confederate soldier.
2. To Virginian especially this charge
"rebeln should be particularly offensive,
since Yirginian formulated the Deciara-
ton of independence, aud Nirglnian
achieved it by his wisdom and MS SWORD.
A Virginia Legislature donated an empire
to the Union, and was herself cut IN TWAIN
in return for her liberality.
8. IL seems TO take mankind long time
10 learn that common-sense lesson OF re-
specting the honest convictions of Others
as wise and patriotic as themselves.
4. Let southern men be firm and patient.

Popular excitement in France continues

versy between tho Government ana tue
Archbishop OF AK. In tho city OF Alx there
Is q numerous party opposed 20 the chuIcn'
so far sc least as concerns its connection
with the State, and these resolved TO give
the Archbishop. on his return, o recep-
ton that would show that his course
had not been popular. When the tram bear.
log the prelate arrived in the station at
AK a multitude was assembled that evinced
q most hostile disposition. Loud misses
were heard az the Archbishop alghted, ana
the crowd made rush as if about TO seize
him. He was rudely handled, u not
actually struck, and would have suffered
more severely but for the police, WHO
managed with considerable force to dis
perse the unfriendly concourse. Inc
church Catholics, however, made up IN
some degree for the unpleasant experiences
of their Archbishop by presenting MN
with a splendid inter and erozler IN token
of their approval OF his conduct.
The Archbishop expressed himself as
deeply moved by tbs evidence OF regard
and affection and was still more deeply
touched when a number OF children,
beautifully attired, appeared bearing gifts
and flowers. The church controversy,
which had become largely dormant, Is re,
vived everywhere with more than us old
