Ara Wa IN Earnest?

Tho address of Major Z. T. d. MYERS to
the Tuckahoe Club on tho subject OF roao-
building gives practical advice OF value.
The Major Is an engineer OF great tx
pcrlence and high standing, and when We
really get ready TO enter upon new era
ofiroad-building or road-mending IN the
county of Henrico, or the State AZ large.
we know of no plan which can be worked
10 greater advantage than that which was
suggested by him on Thursday.
But are we in earnest about having pet.
ter roads? DO we consider that they VIII
cost us a good deal Of money and that that
money will have to be raised by increased
taxation? The DISPATCH has long INSISTED
that money judiciously expended IN this
direction will bring ample returns. and we
are thoroughly in favor of spending 1t WIN
all that this position implies, but IN the
recent discussions of this subject we nave
nowhere observed that any candidate for
the Legislature has expressed himself IN
favor of levying a special road-tax. We
do not assert that there has been no such
expression. but we declare that we have
not seen It.
Let ns face the question: There are
about $50 or 200 able-bodied males in the
penitentiary who are unemployed, or I'M
proftably employed. These may be hand
ed over to the counties; but after they are
disposed Of (and they would make gang
for each of about ten counties), all other
EXPENSES whatsoever must be borne by the
county taxpayers, and the money therefor
except in rare instances. will nave to come
from increased taxation. Now, are the
people ready tor th.s2 Il so. we are really
upon the eve of great things III ROAD Duilu-
Ing IN this Commonwealth.
We dismiss any suggestion that the state
can or Will, at this time, levy genera
road-tax upon her taxpayers. All OF our
recent statistics. and all of our solemn
declarations on the subject Of the ) ate debt
show that we can bear no greater burden
of taxation than that which IS now resting
upon Us. 1t is. therefore, clearly impossl-
bic for tho State to enter upon any such
enterprise now.
The movement will have 10 be made in
behalf of special laws for such counties as
are wiling 10 incur the expense OF Sc
curing better roads. Perhaps the state
NAV be able TO do something III the way OF
providing surveys and plans-she really
ought to try to lend helping hand-hut
beyond this we honestly believe that the
legislature VIII not caro- TO 90. Though
the cities would receive 10 direct benefit
from such Il tax. We venture 20 say that
the city representatives would be more IN
clined to support it than the country
representatives would be.
SO far as Henrico IS concerned in the
matter Of road-bulding, it might be well
for the authorities Of the county and city
TO have q conference with the Wow Of
agree.us upon plan Of action.
The city has already built one or two
pieces Of road in the county, and 1t might
be shown to be to her advantage to do
more Of this sort OF work.

A very readable and instructive book

last summer. The leading cities, their
public buildings, art treasures. archi-
tectural marvels. the people, with their

The book is timely one. as every
thing pertaining to Russia Is just now of
general interest. We note that the author
has word to say on the other side Of the
question OF alleged Muscovits cruelties.
Says he: Things are viewed differently

press comments on the visit Of Governor
HILL to Richmond. Nodiscrimination has
been made by US in the selections. Ardent
friends and bitter enemies Of Mr.. HILL are
alike given hearing. Some Of them arc
cruel, some mildly captious and some
unappreciative of the great New Yorker,
but the majority breathe a spirit OF fair
meas and do justice to his speech and to
the reception accorded him by the Pow
hatan Club and citizens generally.

How Free Coinage Would Result.
The New York Times is consistent,
ALL, opponent Of the policy Of providing
by law for the free coinage of silver, but
surely its ability IS not manifest in the fol-
lowing paragraph:
"Wnether tho unlimited coinage II gold and
silver at n ratio to be fixed by, say England.

States. would actually calse tho two metals 10

Congress would venture TO icnoro it,
This il monometallsm run mad. The
prospect Of legislation by the United States
Congress favorable 10 free coinage caused
silver not long ago to run up within seven
or eight points OF equality with gold. We
quoted last week from those well-knowu
monOmers the MesSrs. HtMBLErON " Co.,
OF Baltimore. their declaration that tho
low price Of silver was evidence that no
legislation in favor of free coinage was ex-

OF the world is represented by those coun-
tries; and 70 say that they could not con-
troll the price OF silver relatively to gold is
to say that the laws of finance do not ope-
rate all over Christendom. For these
wealthy countries to remonetize silver
fully would be for them TO provide in ef-
feet if not IN terms for its redemption n

/ has for thirteen years kept silver and gold
on an equality. We redeem silver dollars

NO ARSENIC IN WALL PAPER.
The twenty leading manufacturers of wall
paper take oath that they do not Use arsenic in
any way. One Of these manufacturers writes:
wall paper dealers the world over have never
suffered. statesmen who continually hand
ling wall paper never fall victims to its in
sldious poison Color mixers. many of whom
have for half century or more spent their en-
tire waking time with bare arms to the
shoulders i'll colors mixing them and stirring
them up continually, never suffer. although
these same men NOT infrequently eat their
lunches with hands loaded with cOiors. Again
arsenic is one of the most expensive materials
that can be usea for producing these color
effects, and for that reason. if for no other it
would not be to the interest of the wall paper
manufacturers TO Use it when cheap substitutes
are easily Cbtainable.
FIGURED MUSLIN CURTAINS
Suburban cottages will have their little Queen

been very popular, but We have no: had
them in those little printed color designs. the
