LENCHBURG,

Lynchburg is going 10 raise pool of
$500 to advertise that city we are
glad to hear it. And without meaning
to be in any sense obtrusive would sug-
gcst that 1t be spent entirely i'll advcr-
Using in the Lynchburg papers. 1t
would be well spent, and would place
desirable facts before the eyes of those
who ought to see thcm-hor own citi-
Zens.
Lynchbu-g is wealthy city. She
has been wealthy city for half CEN
fury and longer. Before the war she
was credited with having moro wealth
per capita than any other city in the
country, and she has not lost very much
OF it if any
Lynchburg has probably moro wealth
than Roanoke. She has Il much larger
banking capital, certainly, yet The
TINES ventures tho assertion that ono
dollar does moro business in Roanoke
than five dollars do in Lynchburg. 1t is
because tho Roanoke dollar is moro ag-
gressivc, pushing, bustling and norvy
than its Lynchburg cousin.
The Lynchburg dollar was coined
away back in tho tiftics with hand
punches. The Roanoke dollar has the
date of 1890 upon it, 1t is new and
strong and has red corpuscles in it's
blood.
The TIMES wants every town and city
in Virginia to wax prosperous, but it
doesn't want any town to got so fat and
lazy that it will dozc in an easy chair
for all eternity. We want to SEQ bone

the House to-day. the journal having
been read in its usual form, Mr.. Breck-
inridgc, of Arkansas, objected to its APP
proval until the remaining portion (rel-
alive to reference bills, etc., was read
The Speaker requested the gentleman
TO specify what portion OF the journal he
desired u have reported. Mr.. Breckn-
ridge replied that it was not necessary
for him to enumerate. He called for
reading of the journal, which the chair
had admitted had not been read in full
Mr. Brckinridge's demand was con-
coded.
Mr.. Breckenridge, of Arkansas, also
called attention TO omissions in reading,
but this matter being satisfactorily set
tied, the journal was approved without
further question.
Mr.. Cooper. of Indiana, rising to a
question of privilege, sent TO the clerks
desk and had read resolutions offered
by him September 4 last, making GER
tain charges against the commissioner of
pensions, and asking for broadening
OF the investigation of that official.

Mr.. Mckinley raised the point of order
that the question presented was not
privileged. After some discussion the

of order and ruled that Mr.. Cooper's
resolution was privileged. Mr.. Cooper
then again took up his old line of attack
upon tho pension bureau, and Grosvenor,

Mr. Morrill, explained that Mr.. Cooper

improperly referred to his committee
and had been returned to tho Speakers
table within an hour after it reached the

Mr.. Cooper stated that tho resolution
had never been put upon record, and
