must be careful not 10 annoy anybody. not 10

ferrous in her manners She may ride horse
as we'll a. does her brother, but she does ii in
an essentially womanly fashion, and is hOrr-
fed when she IS told there are woman in the
world who would like TO ride as do men. She
has the art of making ball-dress out Of what
seems nothing, but she is absolutely ignorant
Of what is proper To wear on the street. The
cloth costume. which all ,over the world is
counted good form is not tolerated by her.

she chooses in its place the soft cashmere

keep house. for this Is knowledge that she
inherits.
Unlike the New England girl, it is possible
that she has never heard of Emerson. Unlike
the Western girl, she knows nothing of poetry
of the Swinburnian school. and unlike the
New York girl she is not au fait in regard TO

MAJ Or james II. Dooley Has just Returned
and Speaks in Glowing Terms of the West.


Major James H. Dooley has just returned
from q visit to st. Paul and Minneapolis
Mimi. and IN response 10 request from a
TINES man gave the following account Of
the wonderful progress of these cities:
Everything in st. Paul and Minneapolis is
very encouraging. The people of that sec
ton are confident of magnificent crops and
also of obtaining good prices for them. - ls
the first time in seven or eight years that they
have had a combination OF good crops and
good prices. and everybody is anticipating a
good time IN the fall and during the coming
winter
Farm lands in Minnesota have gone up 30
per cent this year and are in great demand.
Since ! was in st. Paul in sSS there has beena
most marked improvement III the, appearance
of the city. The sidewalks. which were then
partly built of wood. are now made Of stone
throughout the entire business portions Of the
city and in a greater portion Of the residence
section. Numerous magnificent buildings
have been erected costing from 100000 10
$3.50. 600.
The system of electric railways which has
replaced the old horse car service, connects
the two cities, and has taken nearly all of the
inter-urban travel from tho steam railways
The system used is the overhead trolley SIM
liar 20 that in use in this city.
In addition 10 the electric railway they have
n magnificent cable car system. They have
one through line between ~. fhul
and Minneapolis and are pushing
others with great rapidity. which whom
completed will make substantially one
city of the two. Across the Mississippi river
they have thrown splendid bridges If iron
between the two cities not only for the use Of
the street cars. Int for every other variety of
travel The electric ears between the two
cities run in trains, and are crowded both
going and coming
All Of the improvements are OF the most
substantial kind. and in three years 81. Paul
has changed its appearance from TINT Of nm
overgrown Western town TO splendid modern
city.
f feel very much encouraged about the
prospects Of St Paul and Minneapolis. and
indeed of the whole Northwestern country.
Real estate in the business portion Of the
city is very dull, but there are signs Of life IN
suburban property and good sales have re
Gently been made 70 the satisfaction Of the
owners There is more demand for inter-
urban property than any other

figures # 1922. OO0. 900. Its manufactured pro-
ducts last year were valued at SG0.000,000.

FREE SILVER OR TARIFF iEEFoRM--
which,

whetber the Democratic party shall stake
is character and It's fortunes on the question
of free and Unlimited coinage Of silver, or on
tho question Of tariff reform, 10 matter Oh
the greatest importance in the coming can
VASES. Each of these questions has among its
vehement advocates some OF the most loyal
members OF the party. wlro believe that their
particular choice is tho great and only ques-
ton, and that its success will be the reSoi'eht
of the financial distress OF tho country ana
the establishment of the party In power
Az in all matters submitted TO the decision
OF the people under a truly Democratic gov
eminent. this is case in which the majority
must rule; and failing definite ascertain
ment Of the will of the majority, we must
infer as best we can from the acts OF their
representatives what the people themselves
want.
The silver question is one in which no prin-
ciple Of truth and rights involved. No mans
natural liberty is impaired whether there is
much or little silver. and the action of the
Government in this matter is after all con-
trolled by what is best and most expedient
for all the people-capitaist and ihborer,
salaried man and trader. It is, moreover,
question upon which the Democratic party Is
thoroughly divided.
In Iowa and Ohio the free silver planks IN
the platforms of their respective State con-
ventons were only placed there after stTug-
gle, and with the opposition OF powerful
minority Nor can it be contended that free
silver plank in its platform would be other
than n fatal trap-door through which the
Democratic party would commit suicide III
New York or in any of the Eastern States,
which might otherwise be counted upon to
help elect Democratic President next year
In the face of this dissention in our own
ranks and the hopelessness Of adding by this
device 10 the number of accessions already
obtained by tariff reform from the Repub-
lcans, the Democratic party would only ex-
hibit the wisdom of the dog who dropped the
meat to grab at its shadow if it should throw
away the substantial and well-proved benefits
Of tariff reform campaign and attempt
TO get into power on the silver delusion-the
rainbow bridge.
In brief, while it is plain that important
States which have been steadfastly Demo
cratic would be inevitably lost by free silver,
not one would leave the ranks Of tariff reform
Our best wishes follow Governor Campbell in
his Ohio campaign, and we predict that be
will gain ten votes on tariff reform to one he
loses by side-tracking free silver.

The serious accident which has recently be-
fallen Mr.. Stanley by which he will be con-
fined TO his room for some time, must cause
him an unusual sensation in one respect at
least. After exposing himself TO all the perils
of African travel; after repelling the attack
of murderous savsges without receiving g
wound; after escaping the paws Of lions. the
tusks of elephants and the fangs of serpents;
after passing untouched through oil the dan
gers of the Dark Forest and successfully
resisting the encroachments of African
fevers. It must appear TO him to be
"a strange stroke of fate to be COM
pletely disabled in a peaceful country,
where civilization has furnished every APP
pliance for security of person and safeguard
for the preservation Of health. He should
congratulate himself that he is more fortunate
than Spoke, the discoverer-of the Victoria
Nyanza, who persisted by the accidental dis
charge OF his gun while hunting in one of
the pheasant preserves of England.

DIRECT TRADE WITH EUROPE.

The present indications are that Norfolk
and its vicinity will soon be in the full enjoy
ment Of the advantages that will be conferred
by direct trade with foreign ports. Attention
has already been called to the line of steam-
ships which it is proposed to establish be-
tween Newport News and England, and which
when put in operation will constitute one of
the most important and significant steps in
the industrial history Of Virginia since the war;
In addition 10 this line. we learn from OR
Norfolk exchanges that there is a strong prob
ability that the Netherlands American Steam
Navigation Company. now plying between
New York. Baltimore and Holland, will soon
make arrangements for their splendid steam
ships to touch at Norfolk both on the out
ward and the inward voyage. The representa-
tyes of this well-known line visited that city
during the course Of last week and made q
careful inspection of the harbor and the APP
proaches TO it as we'll as the different facilities
for loading. and expressed themselves as
having been favorably impressed with the re-
suits Of their preliminary examination.
Norfolk and the general locality to which it
belongs seem now to lie on the point of realiz-
ing the magnificent prospects Of material nd
vancement TO which they have been plainly
destined from the beginning, and which

DUST is not only serious discomfort, but
also fertile source OF disease. Overlooking
the question of comfort and considering only
the question Of health, we are prompted TO
call the attention of our authorities to the
manner in which the street sweeper is en-
ployed. For several weeks now the sweeper
has been throwing clouds of dust into tho
houses adjacent to Interpretations. Would it
not be wiser and more thoughtful on the part
OF our authorities to require that the streets
shall in every instance be sprjnkled before the
sweeper begins its work? This would not
only be more conducive to the comfort of
householders, but also more preservatiys of
their health.

AZ those of Jefferson and Maury long ago pre-
dicted would come about in the progress OF

With tho Chesapeake and Ohio railway sys-
tenn stretching 30 the valleys Of the Ohio and
Mississippi, with the Norfolk aud Western
extending with its connections beyond the

line TO the centre OF the State of Ohio. with

Danville draining the region on the borders OF
Virginia and North Carolina, and the Norfolk
Southern and the Dismal Swamp canal. the
eastern section of the latter State-with oil
these great arteries ever extending and ever
enlarging their facilities and rsnifying in
every direction it is not surprising that the
general community adjacent 10 Hampton
Roads should regard the future with feeling
Of the frmest hope and confidence.
Nearly half century ago. when ocean
steam navigation had just begun to work its
vast revolution, a citizen of Virginia applied
to our State Legislature for n charter, under
which direct trade was 10 be established be-
teen Norfolk and the Old World through the
fundamentally of French company, which
was anxious to compete with the English
companies. which were seeking to secure
largo share Of the American carrying trade
between America and Europe.
That charter was denied, but it is probable
that even if it had been granted the indus
trial conditions prevailing in Virginia in that
day in consequence of the absence of rail
roads reaching out TO the far West and far
South would have defeated the project of di-
rect trade in spite of the sanguine antci-
pations of Commodore Maury and other dis
tinguished Yirginians.
The industrial conditions upon which Nor
folk and its vicinity are dependent at the
present time are essentially different, and q
firm reliance can therefore be placed upon
the success of the new schemes for direct
trade which will soon be put to q practical
test.
