The bishop is grand and stately &C.
clesiastic of the medieval type, broad
chested, deep voiced, martial of bear
ing. Icould picture him charging mace
in hand at the head of his vassals, or
delivering over a dissenter of the period
to the rack and thumbscrew, but not
pottering among rare editions, tall
copies and Grolier bindings, nor con-
descending to a quiet cigar among the
tree ferns and orchids Leta must and

less, even if were driven to lock the
door in the fearless old fashion of by

man who left while drop remained in

The ladies were rising. The lady at
the head of the line smirked and nodded
her pink plumes coquettishly at Tom,
while her hawks eyes roved keen and
predatory over us all. She stopped sud-
denly, creating block and confusion.
"Ah, the dear bishop! You there,
and never saw you! You must come
and have a nice long chat presently.
Bye-byn She shook her fan at him over
my shoulder and tripped off. Leta, pass
ing me last, gave me look of profound
despair.

that / shouldn't have asked you here to

splendid figure shrunk and contracted.
He was trying with a shaking hand to
pour out wine. The decanter clattered
against the glass and the wine spilled ON
the cloth.
"Pm afraid you'll find the room too
warm. Shall we go into the library"
He rose hastily and followed me Ikea

Some Serious Questions for Republicans

The election of Cleveland and Steven

hundred in the electoral college Is oven
whelming and decisive. II Is based
upon democratic victories where they
were feared, and the detection of sew
oral republican agricultural and min
ing states TO the peoples party. In the
latter the democrats helped TO bring
this result about az they saw that
every republican state carried for
Weaver helped to insure Cleveland's
Aucccss.
II is the worst defeat the republican
party has cver suffered, for its losses
are general all over the country. The
issue was fairly made on honest money
aud the tariff. The main fight was
over the tariff. 1t has been discussed
az never before in this country. The
nation il prosperous and business ia

dor such conditions seemed foolhardy,

free.trade intentions In their platform

How has IL been accomplished? BY

TAXES ON RELATIONSHIPS. c. Lee
Moore, secretary of the Board of Public
Works, has completed his report for
1892 of the assessed valne of railroads
and canals in the State. From this re-
port the following facts and figures are
taken: Miles of roadway assessed, 81
2S6.56. Value of roadway, $50, 036, l67;
value of depots, 81, S62 ,34l 40; value OF
real estate, 81 ,49S, 3SS.4S; value of roll
ing stock, $40, 15S, 1860; value of stores
of supplies. $40, 470.S6; value Of tcle-
graph lines. $15, $3.50; value of stocks
and bonds of other companies: &c,
1855, SO; value of stocks and bonds
owned and held by trustee, $40 2O;
miscellaneous property, Sl9,S0O. Total,
S50,714, 276.05.
The value of rolling stock shows an
increase of 81, 579, 671.lS over the value
placed thereon for 1891, and the road
Way stock shows an increase in value
of $2.917, $40 over 1891. There is de-
crease in the value of stocks and bonds
of So. $50, 737. so, due to the fact that last
wear the Richmond and West Point
Terminal Railway and Warehouse Com
pany reported under this head So,
1918, whereas this year it reports only
1899, 1865, because large bulk has
been disposed of and the rest have de-
Perforated in value.
The board this year assessed 2lo
6S-10O miles of new road, as follows ::
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Com
pany, Crany-Valley branch, 26 miles !;
Hot Springs branch, % miles; Louis
Vile and Nashville railroad, 90 73-1OO
miles. Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company, Clinch-Valley Division, %
4O-10O miles, and Roanoke and South
ern Division, Is 55-100 miles.
The State will receive S201 ,434.2S
taxes, an increase over last years taxes
from this source of S14,3l704. The
bulk of these taxes are paid by the fol
lowing roads: Chesapeake and Ohio
railway and lines operated, $40, 1882 ;
Norfolk and Western railroad and lines
operated, ST., 1923; Richmand and
Danville railroad and lines operated,
S4O,052. SS-total S154, 092.0S.
The street-car companies show an in
crease in mileage of "a 17-100 miles, and
an increase of 1904 ,995 in the value of
property. The total amount received
from them will be S3,0S3.S9, an increase
of 81, 201.47 over 1891.
