SOCIETY,".

Given beautiful moonlight night, a
party of young people snugly slowed in
tally-ho wagon drawn by four good
horses, with lunch at the destination,
and return in the wee small hours,
and the result is an evening of pleasure
that is not soon forgotten. Wednesday
night, under such favorable conditions,
jolly party enjoyed drive through
the city and out to the ranch of Mr.. j.
B. Haas in Sycamore cafion, near Glen
dale. The ride out was enlivened with
song and laughter, and a happier crowd
it would have been hard to find as they
whirled along under tie careful manage
ment of Mr.. w. F. Haas, who handled
the reins as skillfully as he unravels a
knotty law problem.
Arrived at the ranch house, come
hours were pleasantly spent in dancing,
playing games, and in moonlight strolls
about the premises. Shortly after mid
night the start for home was made, and
in due time all were safely landed at
their homes.
The following composed the party,
which was chaperoned by Mrs. John B..
Haas: Mr. and Mrs. Heron, Misses
Haas, Love, Dalton, Kincaid, White,
Russ, Miller, Barnes, Mcmillan, Josie
Haas, the Misses Hughes, Messrs. Par
ker, Humphreys, Merrill, McStay, BLY,,
Magee, lockwood. White, Frankenfeld,
and W. F., Car. Herman and Gus Haas.

Water-Power.

In speaking yesterday of the desirabili-
" and expediency of constructing electric
railroads whenever and wherever they are
needed. we, of course, meant 10 say
that water power. which is so abundant,
could be used for that purpose. the trans
mission Of power from one place to anoth-
sr being no longer an open question. The
little mountain streams. which fall q num-
Der of feet every mile. and the larger
streams OF tho low-lan1s, which fall very
little IN mile but make up IN volume for
that fact. are equally capable of doing
more work for man than he needs from
them. This cheap water.power, convert
ed into power 10 DO used on electric rail-
roads and in motors Of hundred differ
emit kinds. is destined to mark change in
all the conditions of both rural and city
life. Indeed. the conditions of city lite
have already undergone this change where
ever electricity has been called into the
service OF man in his successful efforts 10
pocure rapid transit. The Baltimore Saa
says on this subject:
"In every case where steady aud ample fsli

The abundance OF water-power, backed
By Eplsox and thousands Of other cleo
tricians and inventors. will soon settle the
question OF cost. Let not Richmond make
contracts for too long period. We might
thus DO left far in the rear OF other cities

Irrigated Farms in Idaho.

A census bulletin which has just been
issued states that in Idaho there ore 4,323
farms that are irrigated out of total num-
Der of 1854.
Thetotsl area of land upon which crops
were raised by irrigation in the census
year ending May 81. 1890. was 2l7,0O5 acres.
The average size "of the irrigated farms.
or. more strictly, of the irrigated portions
of farms on which crops we're raised. is
fifty acres.
The average first cost of water right is
S4.74 per acre, and the average cost of
preparing the soil for cultivation. in
Guiding the purchase-price Of the land.
but excluding the cost of water right. is
$40. Sc per acre. The average present value
of the irrigated land of the State. in
Guiding buildings, etc, is reported as
S4s. so per acre, showing an apparentproft,
less cost of buildings, of S3l.2o per acre.
The average annual cost of water is Sc
cents per acre, which, deducted from the
average annual value of products per acre,
leaves an average annual return of $l2.lS
per acre."
IL these figures are to be relied upon
and we suppose that they are approx
mately, these irrigated lands must be ex.
ceedingly fertile.

Success of Annexation.

The unanimity of the report of the House
Committee in favor of the annexation Of
Lee Circle. IN Henrico, to Richmond indi-
Gates how this subject is viewed by dlsin-
terested and capable observers.
This is a Casa rare one-where city Is
not seeking to increase its population by
taking in a slice of country land, but is
asking for unoccupied territory which 1t
may build up.
And it means, in addition, that the LEE
monument is no longer to stand in an old
field, lonely and neglected, but is to be
taken into the city, put under municipal
care, and made the centre of q neighbor-
hood of fashionable dwellings,.
The only regret we have is that we are
annexing so little territory, for in q few
wears we shall have to come back to the
General Assembly and ask for much more.

Good Bye TO the Lottery.

II is not surprising that the announce
ment that the Louisiana Lottery Company
had withdrawn its demand for new char
Ger was hardly credited at first.
Such submissiyeness has not been Its
wont. Although it has never SAID aloud
"blank the public" its actions have indi-
Gated that that was its opinion. Now it
seems that il is quite humble. 1t has been
brought TO It's senses by the action Of
the United States Supreme Court In
Affirming the constltutionality of the act
of Congress excluding lottery literature"
irom the mails. Without the mails its
business cannot be satisfactorily carried
on, and as il can DO longer have this facil-
ity II cries out 70: quarter and declares
that it is ready to surrender upon the ex-
piration Of its present franchise.
Ex-Speaker REED claims great credit for
the last Congress for passing "the anti
lottery law" Such as 1t Is entitled to
have we cheerfully given it. But really
the people are entitled TO all of the credit.
They were memorable in their insistence
that the Louisiana lottery should be sup
pressed, and Congress had no alternative
but to listen to them. And this it did.
with the lottery proposition out of the
way" the Picdyne says. all grounds for
any discord in the Democratic party will
be removed. The boilers will not have q
leg to stand on, and the white Democracy
viii be able to unite again in support Of
the regular Democratic standard-bearers
and against the united opposition of Or
ganized Republicans and malcontents and
self-seekers of the Democracy who have
been consorting with them"
The Picaylae may, however. learn that
II will not be so easy as it thinks TO heal
this schism in the party. A small thing
may create family breach, but to heal II
requires mighty work.

Railroads and tho Counselman Case

Railroads and tho Counselman Case.
A correspondent writes TO US asking us
to give what we Hold to be the :" bearing"
OF the decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States In the CoUssELMAs case
upon the rkilroad laws Of Virginia? We
have already done in effect though not
nominsly what our correspondent asks us
TO do.
What was the decision in the COUNSEL.
MAN case? IL was that q witness can re-
fuse to testify In any case of alleged vio-
lation of the interstate commerce act II he
was personally engaged in the transac-
tons charged to be contrary to that law,
provided his answer might tend to expose
him TO prosecution. And, as We have
heretofore pointed out. this decision
makes the witness himself sole Judge IN
the premises. II he says under oath that
his refusal 10 testify is due TO the fact that
the answer to the question propounded
might subject him - prosecution. that Is
an end of the case. The witness must be
permitted to "step down and out" of the
witness box.
Il is evident, also, that the decision In
the CoussKLnAs case does not apply TO
the interstate-commerce law alone, but to
every case that comes under the terms OF
that decision. The Virginia Constitution
contains q provision akin to the one in the
Federal Constitution upon which the deci-
SION in the CouSsELMAs case was founded.
This latter provision is that mo person
shall be compelled in any crimi-
nal case to be witness against himself. F"
The provision in our State Constitution
il that mo man can be compelled TO give
evidence against himself"
CouNsELMAs was asked whether he had
obtained rates of freight lower than the
established or published rates, or any re-
bates. or drawbacks, or commissions from
certain railroad. His refusal to answer
was based upon the ground that his an
ever might subject him to criminal pro-
secution. How will our Virginia law
makers eyade this decision? We do not
know. II would seem that all the persons
engaged in making these unlawful con-
tracts. whether railroad employees or per-
sons desiring to be favored by the railroad
employees or officials, must be held to be
protected by the law as it is laid down in
the CoUNsELMAN case. Our correspondent,
therefore, will zee that the decision he
writes of might have a. very important
bearing" upon any law which the Viz
ginia Legislature has heretofore passed. or
may hereafter pass, concerning railroad
charges.

Conservatism in the Assembly.

The anti-monopoiy bill now with O
House committee VIII no doubt be fully
discussed there and in the House before 1t
ts put upon its passage.
II has very few redeeming features and
numerous questionable,ones While the OBJ
5ects aimed at may be defensiblein theory,
It viii be found difficult TO put them into
practice, except at the sacrifice Of great
public interests. SO we regard IT as very
unlikely. indeed, that Virginia General
Assembly will deliberately resolve to
drive business from this State in order to
satisfy few unreasonable men.
This General Assembly has been very
conservative in its legislation, and we
believe that after the full and careful con-
sideration which it may DO relied upon to
give 10 this measure. it will be dismissed
TO the shades of impractical schemes.
There is no promise of good in it tor the
country, none for the city; none for the
laborer and none for the capitalist.
II would be great public calamity TO
attempt to fetter the American Tobacco
Company with restrictions which are not
applicable 10 III Otuel Duoiuooc AVuoCo.
Let it be remembered that ALLES& GIsTER
did not originate the plan Of this company,
or, indeed. go into it very willingly. and
that, finally, had their couDsels prevailed
with our General Assembly the company
would have been organized under Vir-
ginia charter.
Enough mistakes have been made by US
already. Let US be careful now.
Az for the commission merchants, they,
Goo, are necessary and desirable. They
make competition. BY their efforts, IN
good part. Richmond to-day has FIVE ware
houses for the sale of loose leaf tobacco. in
addition to her great storage warehouses.
If they have planters leaf to sell they see
70 1t that it brings the highest prices OBJ
tainable. When they go into the markets
10 buy on special orders they make the
bidding there spirited. The character OF
their business has altered no little in re-
rent years. but it is Us important now as 1t
ever has been, and they are as valuable
factors in the welfare of the city and coun-
try as they have ever been. Long may they
continue in prosperous existence.
