Speaking of a history Of Virginia which
would cover the whole field. Professor
Henneman has the following to say:
1.-THE truth is that the proper place for
such work would be the State capital UNI
der State supervision, and 1t would re-
ouIre an organized bureau, as IT were,

be lost or duplicated, but each and every

GO SLOW, DEMOCRATS.

Mr.. Catchings, Of Mississippi, has
proved himself by his extended service
in Congress a useful and intelligent legis-
lator We are therefore the more sur
prised TO see him advising that Congress,
in order to meet the threatened deficiency
in the revenue which the wastefulness
of Speaker Reeds Congress has brought
on the country, should repeal the exist
ing legislation respecting sugar. This, he
argues, will save to the Treasury the
$l3, 900. 900 paid annually as sugar bounties
and will add $5O.OOOO 900 in the way of reve-
nue. from taxation on sugar. We warn
Mr.. Catchings and the Democratic party
against this legislation or any like It.
1t is all right, OF course. to withhold the
bounties. Bounties should be given to
none. But sugar is one of the poor mans
necessaries. and he will certainly resent
anything whatever that increases it's
price in the smallest particular. When
Mr.. Gladstone was turned out Of Office in
1885. IT was because he proposed to I'M
pose a very small tax upon the poor
mans beer. So. any taxation that affects
the things OF daily use amongst the poor
people. however small. inevitably causes
discomfort.
1t is a wise principle of government also
to impose the indirect taxes that are
raised upon such articles as are consumed
by the rich. and as far as possible, to
exempt from taxation those used by the
poor The principle causes the rich to
pay taxes on what are really luxurles.
while the poor get those things necessary
to daily life as cheaply as possible. The
principle is both consistent with justice
and wise as measure of political econ

A GREAT CLOAK SALE!

There's a charm in being in the
nick of time. Every winter we see
merchants frantically trying to dis
pose of belated goods. It's a wor-
riment to their flesh and of no Spe-
cial interest to the public. How
much better you like the price
breaks to come right at the time the
goods are really needed.
It's that way with WRAPS. A
member of the firm is now in New
York watching the markets. The
cloak market is broken, and he has
forwarded us three thousand dol
lars worth. Added to our great
stock the display is so large and
elegant that we've set apart to-day
and to-morroW-FRlDAY and SAT-
URDAY-as cloak days. The ele-
CANT cloak-room is at its best, and
the selling force is increased for the
occasion.
The purchase is not haphazard
closing out of a belated of-style
maker, for the price crash extends
to more than one house, and the
purchases include only picked ex-
CellencieS.
It is an event in cloak selling.
Not only are the goods of the new
purchase offered at unusually little
prices, but following the trend of
the market we have reduced many

Last night a gentleman walking more
briskly down Main street than usual on
account of the cold, struck the edge Of an
unseen plank which was wedged across
the sidewalk in front Of the new Cham
Der OF Commerce, where 1t is always
quite dark, and received a very severe
fall. This Is a dangerous obstruc-
ton to be allowed to remain In that To-
cality, and it should be removed, or at
least light should be kept there to pre-
vent accidents. The laws forbidding the
obstruction OF sidewalks in this city are
too often violated with impunity.
Mr.. Carnegie has. true to his original
programme, started in to cut down wages
numerically. His boiler men, who be-
fore the strike got S225 day, have been
notified that hereafter their pay will be
N.SO, while the assistant boss roller on
turns, who formerly received 50 a day.
VIII now only get 81. In making these
radical reductions the Carnegies are not
only doing what they started TO do. but
are probably levying something like a
war indemnity on the defeated strikers.
I The disturbance In the Chamber of Dep
uties over the Panama canal prosecu-
lions will. 1t is thought. lead to the dis
covery of very great crookedness. That
millions OF money subscribed for the con-
struction OF the canal were diverted from
their proper use there is no doubt Cred
ible estimates say that for every dollar
legitimately spent two were squandered.
1t looks as II the whole proceedings II the
management would have reflected credit
upon the Republican party in its palmiest
days.
