Tho State Eair.

Next week is Fair week. For four days
the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical
Society will hold au exhibition here III the
spacious buildings erected in 1883 for the
Exposition Of that year.
There will be fne exhibition OF live
stock. poultry. &C.. and of the products of
our fields. The manufacturers OF Rich
mond, for their part, have promised an
unusually attractive display of their goods
and wares. In addition to al these and
many other like attractions, fine races have
been arranged for and a military display
NAV he expected in connection with the
unveiling Of the WICKnAM statue and the
sham battle both.
1t is going to be busy week, and our
visiting friends will find much here to in
tercst them. The streets Will be full OF
hustle and brightness, and there will be a
reunion here not only of veterans of the
Confederscy, but OF thousands of others
who have not been in Richmond since the
LEE Monument celebration.
We have reason TO believe that the Fair
will be richly worth seeing. and we hope
that o grea. crowd Of people from Virginia,
West Virginia, and North Carolina will
avail themselves of the low railroad rates
and numerous special attractions offered
on the occasion to pay us visit
The people of Richmond have much to
do in the way of preparation in the next
few days, and we should be quick and in
dustrious about it,
Not only does II devolve upon us 10 as
sure the success of the exhibition. but 10
make ready our homes for the ever-wel-
come visits Of our country Kin and friends.
Let us give our hearts to this matter
and resolve to acquit ourselves hand
eomely.

Hill and the Press.

Governor HILL. of New York, had Sc
yies OF ovations OF Atlanta, where he ar
rived Tuesday evening and where he on
yesterday delivered the Grafton al the IN
yelling of the monument to HESRY w.
GRApr, of whom he spoke o. Journalist
orator. and poet"
The address is one of Mr.. HILI's most
Gnished productions and stamps him as
man Of much ability. His estimate of Mr..
GBApY is that which will find general &C
ceptation. Valuable. however. as Mr.
GRsDr's newspaper work was, we doubt If
be ever would have attained the promi-
hence which he enjoyed during the latter
part Of his life IL he had not developed
into an orator. The speeches that he made
in the North on the New South gave him
national reputation. However. we know
that he was q thorough newspaper-man.
He had been well educated and had served
&s reporter. correspondent, and editor
before he was tested in managerial harness.
He was successful in all. lie did good
work everywhere and he had magnetic
way OF going about il. Any paper in the
land would have been better for having
uESRY GRADY as q member of its staff.
BY some Governor Hull will be accused,
and rather unjustly, of dealing in tany"
where he praises the work of the press.
He has long been q friend Of our frater-
nifty. He has the reputation of being ap-
proachable and ready TO communicate in
formation, and though. no doubt, his tenn
per has been sorely tried at times by the
abuse and Misrepresentation of partisan
Journalists, we have never yet heard that
he ever found il necessary TO condemn a
whole profession for the sins Of q few ndi-
viduals.
All the good things that he said about
the press yesterday are true. and we have
reason to believe that they were uttered in
all sincerity. Newspaper people get so
little praise--especially from great men
whose greatness they have made-it is not
surprising that they should feel kindly to-
wards those who are appreciative OF their
calling.

That Late Train.

Our merchants, manufacturers, and
newspaper managers are daily in receipt
of letters from the country bordering on
the Midland and Chesapeake and Ohio
railways in which the writers describe the
disadvantage TO Richmond of the present
schedule on the latter road.
The trouble is that the westward-bound
passenger and mail train does not leave here
until midday nearly, whereas the trains
out from Baltimore and Washington leave
Of much earlier hour.
1t ought to be SO that Richmond NAH
could leave here in the morning and go 10
any point between this city and Stanton,
transact any business requiring but an
hour or two of time, and return home at
night.
1t ought 10 be so that our morning
papers could bo delivered TO patrons while
they are fresh and cotemporaneously at
least with the delivery OF northern papers.
Now the northern papers are delivered and
read hours and hours before any Richmond
paper can be gotten. The northern mer-
chant has the same advantage over the
Richmond merchant that the northern
publisher has over the Richmond pub
Usher.
From whatever part OF Virginia the
Richmond papers are driven by unjust and
unreasonable schedules. from that very
same territory our trade will be driven.
u 10 time TO act. We propose that this
community shall at once make an urgent
request TO the railroad company to RENE
dy the wrong. 1t is hardly likely that
they will refuse.
/ This Is q matter for the consideration OF
the Chamber of Commerce. 1t would be
worth its attention II none but newspaper
publishers interests were involved, but
we declare our solemn conviction that our
merchants and manufacturers have $500 at
stake where tho newspapers have 81.

1t was bold in Bishop KrxSgs thus TO

believers in that doctrine have profound
contempt for all persons who deny it. But
time was when the believers in the Ptole.

Rogers appointed all the committees for the rou-
tine work Of the convention ana delivered his an
nual address. In this he referred sharply TO
the dissensions In tho order, arising chiefly from
the admission to membership ot persons who
gain admittanco for the purpose OF securing Of
fee or political influence. Tho suD-ITcasury
scheme was warmly endorsed. The President
closed his address az flows: 1t 10 a fnct that
the partisan press has distorted the truth IN

Treasury plan. In our State the Democratic
press IA won't 10 read every man out OF the party
