1mnrnved Schedules.

Recently we have had occasion to con-
graduate the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Richmond and Danyille Railroad Compa-
MES upon favorable schedules they have put
into operation for their outgoing morning
trains from this city. Now we have to ex-
tend the thanks OF the community, our
own included, for like regard for the pub
lie interests on the part of the Norfolk and
Western Company,
They have arranged soon to make close
connection ut Burkeville with the Danyille
roads morning train from Richmond, and
the result will be that the Richmond news
papers will be put in Southside and South
western Virginia at an hour earlier than
eysr before.
Our friends in those sections will be able
after a little while to get Richmond news
when it is fresh. and We expect this ar
rangement to result IN a better acquaint-
ance of our country kinsmen with this
city. Our drummsrs will follow the news
papers wherever they go-indead, they
often lead the way--and Richmond's trade
ought to be enlarged in the wealthy and
enterprising parts of the Commonwealth
now to be put in easy reach of as.
Il is pleasure TO record every new step
taken by the railroad companies to give
better facilities to their patrons here. 1t
costs them no little to make the begin
ming, but if the public properly appre-
ciates the advantages thus thrown in its
way it viii ia the end pay the companies
handsomely.
We can now reach the southern States
and Midland Virginia better than ever,
and soon we viii lay the DIsPArcH before
Southside and Southwestern readers at
an unpreeedsntedly early hour.

official and earni-ofiicial organs may have
boon the overhearinR attitude Of BiswaRcx

the maintenance Of that unity. However
just may be tho contention that he was

his equal as tribune when the assump-
ton OF that role was essential 10 bringing
together discordant factions in order
to use them for the support Of the
Crown. These are facts that cannot fail
10 DO clear 20 young WILLIAM and which
IL must be conceded would not be either
policy or common sense to [, disregard
should the integrity Of the Empire be
threatened by forces either within or
without. II viii not do 20 say that such
integrity Is dependent upon BISMARCK
or Bismarckism. Under WILLIAM the
Fatherland has made rapid advances
IN the direction of homogeueity, and this
and his personal popularity would consti-
tute tremendqls factor in meeting any
crisis. Nevertheless, IL seems competent
10 assert that in th&eyent of grave issue
developing tho Emperor would have all to
gain and little to lose were he sustained
by the "iron hand" and the far-seeing
genius Of BIsMARcK.

Save Our Records.

The General Assembly is to DO asked TO
appropriate $1,000 to provide for the
copying Of the records Of Northampton
county dating prior to A. ID. 1900" The
records Of the county, extending back TO
1892, "are complete and are full Of histori-
cal matter referring and relating to the
general history Of the State of Virginia"
and without doubt if carefully examined
in convenient form would throw impor-
tant light on our early colonial history.
They comprise the only complete coun-
ty records in the State of Virginia dating
prior TO 100, and the older volumes on ac-
count of great age and constant handling
incident to their use ore being DESTROYED,
and if not copied at an early day Will DO
irreyocably lost"
These books and papers are at present
lodged in the clerks Office at Eastviile,
which is a building not hre-proof, and
aud the chance of IRE is. therefore, con-
slant menace to their safety.
Mr.. r. A. Brock. secretary OF the Viz
gina Historical Society and Secretary OF
the Southern Historical Society, has en-

This MEASURE has my hea-tiest commenda-
tlon. The county records contain essential his
torca data, not only local but Of general interest

What is asked should command the support OF

We have suffered too many invaluable records
to perish without effort 70 protect 20 give oppor-
tunity for further stigma in this regard.
We hope to see this application, and all
Others of equal merit favorably acted upon
by the General Assembly.
The expense will be small, and it is one
we can well afford to bear.
Let US gather up the fragments that sur
viye the war and fires and vandal hands.
They will grow more valuable as time
passes, and posterity will bless US for
having preserved them. And when copy

The New Judge.

The old rule in this country is that
State legislature may exercise almost any
power not denied to 1t by the State or
Federal Constitution. whilst Congress can
exercise only the powers delegated to it by
the several States. SO on general princl-
pies the Virginia Legislature has the
right as we argued last Sunday, to establish
another court in this city. Besides, the
sense of the constitutional provision that
cities Of thirty thousand inhabitants may
have an additional judge is that city of
one hundred thousand inhabitants may
have two additional judges. Otherwise it
might be necessary 10 hold a constitution
al convention to supply a city with judges
enough. When the Hastings Court of this
city was created by the Legislature
and Judge was provided for it,
the same constitutional question was
raised and was decided in favor of the
new Judge. But after all the section we
quoted from the State Constitution in our
last is the strongest point in favor OF the
constitutonality of the proposed new
court. That section expressly empowers
the Legislature to establish new courts in
cities and towns" The same section em-
powers the Legislature " to provide for the
government of cities and towns" viii 1t
be said that under this lsst-cited provision
the Legislature cannot provide for new of
ficers and add new features to those set
forth in tie Constitution as pertaining TO
MI cities and towns9 We believe in strict
construction, but not in tying up the Con-
stitution in bundle that no man can un-
loose,
As TO whether an additional judge is
needed we can very safely wait until the
successor of Judge LEAKE Is elected be-
fore determining. If he thinks that hecan
keep down the docket there will be no
inclination TO ask the General Assembly
for help for him. If, on the other hand, he
asks for assistance then il should be gwen,
and that the Legislature has the power to
give il we think We have shown

Avn Interegtlng oomeIdence.

Although Won CAPRyI denies that he in
tends to resign it is an interesting coinci-
dence that along with the renewal of the
rumors that he would reinquish the chan
cellorship came an apparently well anthem
tieated statement that Prince BIsMARCG
would not take hostile part against the
Emperor in the proceedings Of the Reich
stag, and that il Is hunted the time may
come when the ex-Chancelior's advice will
be again sought in public affairs. II is
also said that Emperor WILLIAM has prom
Used that the official and ssmi-official
organs shall make no further efforts TO
balittle BrsAEAEcx or disparage his services
70 the Empire.
And the interest of this coincidence Is
emphasized by and acquires significance
from the news that the entente oordide be-
(. tween Russia and France has taken for
NAL shape, for though, as stated. tho
result Of III. DE GtTEs's sojourn in Paris
may DO diplomatic warfare only for the
present. the RussoFrench agreement

Europe. II points TO complications.

That there have been decided differences
between tho young Emperor aud his grand

be questioned. At the same tina few who

case OF grave crisis in that country these
differences would be rsconoilsd. Since

west virqinia and tennessee.

Mr.. MCKINLEY said in the Republican
National Committee the other day that If
the Republicans could do half the work in
West Virginia and Tennessee that they did
in Ohio and New York both those States
would give their electoral votes to the
Republican nominee for President OF the
United States. This Is On idle boast. In
presidential elections West Virginia and
Tennessee are as certain to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket as Iowa and Massachusetts,
are to vote the Republican ticket. But it
is no more absurd for The Republicans to
claim West Virginia and Tennessee than 1t
is for Democrats to claim Iowa and
Massachusetts,. A presidential election
calls home oil wanderers. 1t is one thing
TO vote in @ presidential election and an
other thing to vote IN State election.
We had good illustration of this fact
here in Virginia in 1880, when Virginia
gave HANCOCK sweeping plurality though
he had been coquettng with MALONE for
several years before that time.
Nevertheless, MIR. McKnLEY's speech
may cause the Democrats of West Viz
ginia and Tennessee to put on their war
paint. 1t is not to be thought of as pos
gble that the solid South should lose
its solidlty by the melting away Of the
Democracy of these two States. We said
the other day that West Virginia could
always be relied upon TO vote Alright in
national elections. SO she can. Her De-
mocracy is as true as steel. The States
motto is: Mountaineers are always
free" aud they Will do nothing unworthy
of themselves as freemen. They are
Democrats from principle and by inheri-
lance from the old Virginia Democracy.
