HOW to Get MONEY For sreeta

City-Engineer CuTsHAw 10 of the opinion
that the most serious problem involved in
the annexation question viii DO solved by
the city securing an amendment to her
charter allowing her to tax abutting
property for street improvements.
This would make a radical change in
our system, but be thinks it would be Q
good one. and that while il might be made
applicable TO annexed districts as soon
Is desired. it should become operative
within the present city limits only after
the lapse Of fixed number OF years.
While we prefer to bear all that can be
psid for aud against the proposition before
committing ourselves TO its support. II
seems clear TO as that Richmond viii have
TO adopt moro sensible and practical
scheme Of improvements II she wishes TO
do justice 10 herself and keep pace with
her rivals.
The City Council usually provjdes for
every other department OF the government
hrst aud gives 70 streets the balance avail
able IN the treasury. and for years this re-
siduum has been ridiculously srdall. The
consequence 10 that the old streets are not
kept up Is they should be. and new ones
zstded cannot be secured. Iyy another
equally inconsistent arrangement OF the
Street Committee the whole sum aliot-
TIA 20 streets 10 divided between the
wards, when It Is wcll known that the
wnnss II soms wards are much greater
1tan those 81 other wards. We despair

plan suggested BY the City Engineer
or some Other equally effective Is adopted.
His plan IA by no means new or Entried.
II Is in operation in many places. Where
you SEQ curbs. cutters, and sidewalks
laid In fields far In advance OK
houses you may be sure that this system,
prevails. and that the property-owners
have sagaciously concluded to market
their lots as improved property" rather
than as unimproyed property, by which
means they find purchasers more readily,
and generally they have no difficulty in
securing prices which are satisfactory ana
which amply reimburse them for the pay
ments they have made 70 the street-im-
provement fund.
For the proper Improvement and extern
sion Of our streets we this year need $780,
600 at least. We are not going 20 get II, we
fear. II is admitted that 1t would DO
good investment for tho city. but there
gre many other demands upon the treasury
and Il will happen. as IL has often hap
pened before, that after all the other mu-
nicipal departments receive Their appor-
tionment Of money streets Will get the
balance.
The objection 10 the proposed plan
which will most wildly present itsen 10
tho public mind isthat those to whom I'm.
proSements have long been denied VIII
have to pay for them out OF their own
rockets. while those who have been given
improvements will have the pleasant re-
Election that the city paid for them. ms
IL a hardship, but we have great faitn III
the good sense and public spirit OF our
people, and If the City Engineer can MAKE
il clear that the good to be ACCOMPLISHED
will be great and general it may be that ms
plan will be accepted-accepted to oegin
at n specified date in the future.
We see the annexation movement haIteu
because there is no existing plan OF stree.
improvements which meets the demand Oh
the situation or is cred;table to growing
city. The people OF the territory pro-
posed TO be annexed do not wish 1t 10 Do
incorporated except upon such conditions
"a will insure them street improvements.
They had better be in the county than in
the CITY unless the city will give them Gull
yerts. water, gas, and sidewalks. On the
other hand, the citizens of Richmond do
not like the idea of the annexed districts
imposing terms upon them. So it goes.
We must address ourselves seriously to
this whole question of street improve
ments

Circuses Imposed Upon.

The Baltimore City Council is thinking
of raising the license-fee Tor circus-exhibi-
tions there from 800 to $500 for each per-
Torrance.
1t has become quite the fashion to legis-
late against circuses. Virginia and Rich
mond are not exempt from blame in this
respect, but our statesmen have never
gotten quite as wild on this subject as
those of the Monumental City.
SO far as we are concerned, circuses bring
more money here than they carry OF. The
few hundreds of dollars of profits which
they sometimes succeed in making are
more than Offset by the sums spent in the
city by country people who throng here on
such occasions and who combine business
with pleasure.
Cities which stubbornly ignore the i'm
portance of amusements as factors in
modern life must suffer for their narrow
ness, while more enlightened communities
prosper.
II would be well for Richmond If itcould
have circuses oftener.

A Centenarian.

The Religious Herald of this week calls
our attention to the case of Mr.. JAMES N.
CoRBN, of Jefferson county, w. Va, who,
it is said, was born In Stafford county, Va,
February %. 1890. was married by Rev. LEWIS
CONNER IN 1919 to Miss SARAH GAuST, and
raised eight children--six boys and two
girls-seven Of whom raised families. On
February 20, 1890, his grandchildren, chill
dren, and great-grandchildren numbered
1Oi. He became a member OF church
eighty years ago, and the Herald asks
us to aid it in discovering an older Chris
tian.
Here is of course one centenarian If
there is any evidence to sustain the aver
ments of the Rerdlds correspondent. We
were about TO say any record evidence; but
this it might be difficult to obtain. At any
rate we would like to know upon what
sort Of evidence those averments are based.
We never doubted that Sir MOSES MONTE
fIoRI was centenarian, and there is no
reason why West Virginia should not fur
nish a centenarian whose age can be as
clearly proved as was Sir Moses.

Why Not {?
We have received the following note:
MIIInILR. WARRKN CO., Va, Feb. z, Ie9l,

MuLDALB. wASEsS CO., VA, Feb. Z, 1881.
To the Editor Of the Dispateh:
Dear sir,--As understand the money ques-
ton OF to-day Il Is this: Gold Is tie acknow-
lodged standard OF the civilized world; bur the
product OF the gold-mines has failed TO keep
pace with the increase in population and rafnc
OF tho world: consequently there 10 a demand IN
Iaonetize silver. But suppose gold ana silver
together 70 be insufficient, then we might take
nickel But what size would we make the nickel
dollsrf would suppose Il would be Just large
enough 70 be OF equal value with the gold dollar.
Then why not enlarge the silver oonar 70 sne
Of silver, instead Of tying 70 mako the present
SOc dollar interchangeable with gold dollar7
Please answer the above and obligo yours, 60,
II. C. PAGs.
A dollar made of nickel would be too
heavy for use. II would be a cart-wheeli in
truth. Even q silver dollar is too heavy
for general use, and serves the purpose OF
its coming as well as it does only because
dollars of that sort are kept in the United
States Treasury, and notes are issued to
take the place of them.
Silver lacked a few months ago only
seven points of being at par with gold. 1t
now lacks twenty-seven. Therefore to
make silver dollars contain gold dollars
worth of silver would be to convert oil OF
our silver CURRENCY into bullion-if not in
fact certainly in effect, for the silver dollar
coined to-day would contain more silver
than the one coined yesterday, and the
silver dollar to be coined next week might
perhaps have to be made heavy enough to
weigh down two Of the silver dollars
coined three months ago. The PROPOSE
ton is, we repeat, totally visionary be-
cause impracticable.

Mr.. Blaine's Future.

Nathaniel Page. OF Washington, who is en-
gagged Ia international law and claim cases, Is
an old newspaper-man who keeps close touch
with political affairs. He says that one or two
more treaties as good rs that with Brazil will
mako Mr.. Blaine the next President OF the
United States without any question. He Is al
ready the choice OF his party for the nomination
next year. aud should say 1t IS certain he will
be nominated, whatever Mr.. Harrison may de-
eide 20 do --Nsp York Press.
Two days after the November elections
of last year we said that Mr. BLAINE was
the only live candidate for President in
the Republican party. We not only classed
HARRISON amongst the played poll
clans, but named him as an aspirant. who
was no longer possible nominee Of his
party.
Reciprocity is Democratic thunder. Re-
ciprocity leads logically to the abolition of
custom-houses. Therefore, Mr.. BLAINE
must base his claims upon something other
than the creed of his opponents.

We were shown yesterday the letter Of a

$4,000.
There ia no doubt at oil that one can be
secured for this sum. Prices range from
$4,000 to $l25,o0o, according TO systems.

This latter sum would include lot, build

n sale of some 200 acres OF valuable mineral
land. The iron vein found on this land IS
q new one and the prospects said to be

of the mines here was hammered into q
horseshoe from the crude ore.
The Orange and Keysville Railroad Com;

rangements to work on to Farmville as
proposed.
