The Buildin. and Iron Trades.
The building trades are irregular, some
cities reporting greater activity; but where
last years strikes shortened hours and In
creased wages there has been general
shrinkage, which affects the iron industry.
The rail combination also restricts pur-
chases of steel rails and started the year, it
appears, with orders for only 525, 900 tons no
transactions having been reported for the
past week. There are orders placed Tor
several thousand cars and some locomo-
tiyes, and the demand for plate iron is some
what better, and for structural iron salts

seen in bar iron, while the market for pig
iron is depressed by sales which are gener-
ally attributed to financial difficulties.

Columbus-Day In Virginia.

The Superintendent Of Public Instruc-
ton has issued a circular to school super
lntendents, trustees, and patrons of
schools OF Virginia giving information
and advice as to the observance of Colum-
bus Day, Friday, the Dist instant, which is
q public holiday by proclamation of the
Governor.
1t is recommended that in each school
there should be a programme of exercises
appropriate to the day, and a suitable
form is set forth in the circular. 1t is also
suggested that collection for the beneft
OF Virglnia's educational exhibit and the
Mount Vernon memorial building at the
Worlds Fair should be taken up. The
Superintendent says be has no authority
TO require this collection to be made,
but simply suggests it.
The following prizes are offered to pub
lie free-school pupils for essays on The
Life and Character of Columbus, with
Special Reference to the Discovery of
America" Best essay, 800; second best,
S75; third, $50; fourth, 1925; fifth, round
trip ticket to Worlds Exposition, June,
1893. These prizes will be awarded pro-
vided tho contributions are sufficient to
pay them.
These school celebrations con be made
educational in high degree, and it is to
be hoped that they will be general and
well attended.

Rooms Bntter.

The cool weather brings out the oleo-
margarine and butterine as surely as the
night brings out the stars. AS long as the
summer Is upon us these articles are kept
far IN the background--in the back cellars,
probably-as they do not stand the heat
we'll without revealing their true char
acter to the intending purchaser {;
but let the melting days pass, and they are
promptly put upon the market, and many
unwilling purchasers are found for them.
Oleomargarine and butterine are good
and useful III their way-sOme people may
prefer them TO butter-but it is illegal and
fraudulent to sell them for outer; yet
they ere SO sold all over the country, Rich
mond included.
There is a stringent law on this subject,
intended TO prevent misrepresentation, and
1T should be enforced. Those who like
oleomargarine are entitled to have it and
can have it. and il is said to be not un-
healthy; but those who Ike butter and
pay for 1t are entitled to have that.
The sale of bogus butter is frasd upon
the transporting customer and fraud
upon the great numbers of honest dealers
who will not touch it-no matter by what
euphemism it is cailed-and hence it
should be suppressed.

WEDNESDAY. OCTOBER 10. 1892
Tho Probable Result.


We once knew q man TO Ask the cashier
Of the bank he was about to deposit some
money IN whether the bank was IN good
condition or not. OF course he received
an affirmative answer. The bank soon af-
forwards failed, and the depositor was furi-
ously angry with the cashier for not having
told HIM that the banks failure was proba-
BILE at the time he deposited his money
therein. But what else could be expected
from any bank cashier but a belief in its
soundnessY What sort of officer would be
be who should tell the banks depositors or
others that the bank was insolyent ?
We were reminded of this bank cashier
wheL we read Mr.. BLAISE's prediction that
the Republicans would carry the coming
presidential election. The Washington
Post reports him as follows
"Au that is now needed to insure n Repubh-
can victory and the continuation OF prosperity
throughout the country is for the Republican
voters TO cast their ballots. With our fun
strength out / regard our success as almost GER
tain.
awhile there has not been 70 much excite
ment a. In other campaigns do not take that
as any proof of lack Of interest In the election.
Il Is the natural result OF the manner in which
the campaign IL being conducted. People are
reading more and thinking more, and not
making 10 much noise about 1t. They are just
as earnest as ever, a. the heavy early registra-
ton shows."
For Mr.. BLAINE to have conceded the
election of CLEVELAND would have been
almost enough in itself to have produced
the result predicted. OF course an ex-
Cabinet officer could not be guilty of the
treason to his party which would have
been involved in his saving that he ex-
pected CLEVELAND TO be elected. There
fore, we set down what Mr. BLAINE said In
the reported interview as just what he
was compelled TO say, though we must
credit him with having tempered his Ian
guage as much as possible. All that is
needed now" quoth be. is for the Re
publican voters TO cast their ballots"
True enough, provided they cast enough
of them. with our full strength out, l
regard our success as almost certain" just
so. Ifs and ans" are useful words.
Ask Democrat the same question which
Mr.. BLAINE was asked and he will predict
HARRIsos's defeat and give good reasons
Cor the faith that Is in him.

THE Price of Gas,


The gas-meter is much like good dog
with bad name.
II il not regarded as trustworthy; yet 1t
is far more reliable than most of the per-
sons who speak i'll Of it. II may fail TO re-
eister some Of the gas which passes
through It, but II is wellnigh impossible
for Il TO register Gas that does not pass
through it. Still we constantly hear un-
informed persons declare that q reduction
in the price per thousand cubic feet does
them no good because "a reduction IN
price is not followed by reduction in
their bills. But not a few OF those who
have taken the trouble TO examine the
books at the City Hall have found that hu-
man memory is more fsllible than the gas
meter. Where the reduction IN price is
not followed by reduction in the con-
sumer's bin the explanation is usually TO
be found in the tact that the consumer has
beer more liberal with the use of gas than
formerly.
The reason that the public is not more
peremptory in its demands for water-gas
plant is.that the majority Of people do not
believe that il will bring about lower
price. or that the lower price will result In
reduced bills. II the public could be edu-
Gated on this point the City Council
would be importuned from every direction
until in self-defence it voted the S25'OOo
which is needed and asked for to put our
cas-works on footing with modern works.
We know of no other way than by public
discussion 10 accomplish this purpose.
Once show the people that by voting the
S25 600 their gas bills will be smaller than
heretofore and the City Council will be
compelled to take favorable action. This
Is the direction where good work can and
should be done.
II is not proposed TO sell water-gas,"
but n mixture Of water and coa-gas.
This mixture is cheaper and of greater
illuminating power than the gas we now
manufacture, and in the light Of the expe-
Renee of numerous other cities we have
been compelled TO abandon the idea that
it is dangerous to public safety.
The Finance Committee of the City
Council last night agreed to recommend
that the $4,000 appropriation for water
gas plant be made. There may DO some
opposition to il when the matter comes TO
a vote IN the two branches, but public
opinion, if exerted in its favor, will carry
it through. The committee also resolved
not to recommend an appropriation of
Sl25,OOO for an electric-light plant. This
will doubtless come in time, but the pres
ent moment is not suspicious by reason of
the great amount of money already spent
and yet to be spent on the new City Hall.
Hence we shall have to wait awhile.

You buy your Kid Gloves at Cohen's
and doubtless often wonder TO yourself
why. It's no accidental inclination OF
nature to come here. You wear gloves
from Cohen's because experience has
taught you that they fit better, look bet
ter, and wear better than those bought
elsewhere. Why Well. there's no
more luck about glove selling than In
the handling of any other merchandise.
We study and watch. We know the
glove and the making, from the raw
material to the finished product. We
use the best only and Gull closely. The
gloves must be honestly made and genu-
inely stamped. No glove travels on any
merit save its own and the eciat gained
from its actual maker. Such marks as
" Foster, Paul d Co" mean much. The
net result is the best gloves for the least
money. Kid Gloves start at Zoe. Let's
take few items

mated by bits of his own name and
