sOUANDERING THE CITY's MONEY.

The Times has received so many ex-
pressions Of approval OF its articles con-
demning the policy OF our city govern
ment in adopting a method for public
expenditure that pays two dollars Of the
city's money wherever one dollar would
secure the service, and il has been re-
quested by so many OF our citizens TO
keep the discussion up, that 1t feels great
" encouraged in the task it has under
taken of arousing the people OF Rich
mond TO a point hat will cause them TO
demand a change Of this policy.
Our last article discussed the injustice
done to the enterprising and industrious
workmen by this policy which estab-
fishes a grade for labor and considers all
men equal TO reaching that grade. but
denies to any the opportunity to rise
above it. We pointed out the fact that
this confounds the Industrious with the
lazy and pulls the energetic mar down to
the level Of the idler and the loafer. We
will point out this morning another injus-
tice Of the same kind that this policy
does to laboring men.
A mechanic serves three or four years
for almost no pay to learn his trade. In
that long period OF unrewarded service
he becomes skilled in his craft and en-
titled to the best wages paid for me-
chanics in his line of business. The aver
age wages Of skilled laborers run little
above two dollars and a half per day.
This is all they can make after their
long period Of service without reward,
and when they are in every sense skilled
workmen. But Messrs. Stratton, Brauer.
Turpin, Curtis and Davis declare that an
ordinary day laborer who has never had
the energy and enterprise TO qualify him
self to do any sort of skilled labor shall
receive from the city's treasury two dol
lars for a days work in digging sewers
wncn men can be hired at 81
ger day TO do tho work. They
thus elevate au unskilled man OF
this sort almost 10 the plane of a man
who has enterprise. sobriety. frugality
and industry, and declare that these ad-
mirable qualities in the latter shall count
for nothing whatever in his favor, as
against an ordinary digger Of dirt who
happens to have the good fortune to get
steady employment and certain pay from
the city.
Now. here is this discrimination against
and stigma put upon all the skilled work.
men OF this city. that the city's money
may be donated as a gift to those few Of
the unskilled workmen in the city who
happen to be in the city's employment.
is this just TO those skilled workmen?
Is 1t just 10 the other unskilled workmen
who do not get employment from the
city. and who are therefore compelled
TO work for far less than those get who
are lucky enough 10 receive employment
from the city? Further, the skilled me-
chanic who is industrious and frugal
saves his money. buys a lot and builds
himself a modest home. Many other la
boring men who are not skilled me-
chanies do the same. Their homes are
taxed as all other property in the city. at

In reaction against the ombre hues and

prize customers into woods ana hop sacks
and Bengalines Of a single solid shade.
Nevertheless. the popular tide sets the
other way and this slight side drift will
not change IT for a long time TO come.

played in shop windows and those which
spread themselves decidedly beyond the

However. the single tint goods are OF
smooth and solid weave; they shed dust
like poplinette and will be admirable
for travelling uses. Almost invariably they
have a fine raised line running through
them at short and regular distances.

A Mothers Advice TO Her Son.

"Now, John," said mother to son
"listen to your mother. Never marry a
young woman, John, before you have
contrived to peep in at the house where
she lives at least four or five times, be-
fore breakfast. You should know how
late she lies in bed in the morning. You
should take notice whether her complex.
ion is in the morning as i! is in the eve
ming, or Whether the morning wash and
towel have robbed her of her evening
bloom. You must take care to surprise
her, 30 that you may see her in her
morning dress, and observe how her hair
looks when she is not expecting you. If
possibleyyou should be where you can
hear the morning conversation between
her and her mother. If she is i'll natured
and snappish to her mother go she will
be to you, depend on it. But if you find
her up and dressed neatly in the morn
ing, with the same countenance, the
same smiles, the same neatly combed
hair, the same ready and pleasant an
swer to her mother, which characterize
her appearance and department in the
evening, and particularly if she is lend
ing hand to get the breakfast ready, she
is prize, John, and the sooner you Be-
cure her to yourself the better. She may
not play the piano; that is nothing. If
she can make good bread, that is some'
thing"

Factions and Isnls.

Never before 10 the history of South
Carolina have there beeu 80 many politi-
cal factions operating under aud seeking
their own peculiar ends under the name
of Democracy.
There is Tillmanism, seeking, living on
and cariag only for its own. There is
Straightoutism, at first actuated by prin-
ciple and patriotism, butintolerant, self
ish and arrogant. There is AlIianceism
organized aud operated with the avowed
purpose of secretly and sel6shly promot-
ing only its own interests. There is
Third Partyism in this State, the product
of the bitterness Of the extremes of Till
manism and Strightoutism. There is the
Wage Garner Lesgueism, the legitimate
fruit of the selfshness of the other fac
tions. And lastly the large Conservative
element, with no avowed purpose but
that of exercising a safe check on the
others and no Importance but
that prompted by sincere patriotism.
The promoters and perpetrators OF
these factions, from their very nature
hostile to the peace, unity and progress
of the Slate, all look upon the govern
ment only as machine to be captured
and maraged for their interests. They
fail to rise to that citizenship which
makes our people patriots in recognizing
in our government and institution for the
advancement of the interests and the
protection of the person and property OF
the whole people.
We hsve, therefore, as an outgrowth OF
such state of affairs, political bitterness,
personal vituperation, unyieldiug un-
compromising hate among our own peo-
pie. This is having its effect upon all OF
the institutions of the State-the church,
the schools, the colleges and the press,
and there has been consequent lowering
of moral and political tone.
As evinced in elections and otherwise
this spite and the effect of this factional-
ism has even entered the Church, array
ed under the white banner of peace. 1t
has beer felt too in the affairs and con-
duct of our schools, and the press is
filled with billiDgsgate and unholy ap-
prehensions.
There is therefore greater need for a
pure and lofty patriotism, and uselhsh
devotion to the interests of the State than
ever before. It's religious welfare, the
educational interests, the agricultural
commercial and business advancement
all demand it.
The press itself, always power, should
spurn lending its influence to engender-
ing or psrpetuating the factional inter-
party strife. It should earnestly en-
deavor to use its influence for all that is
enlighteaing in education, active and
progressive in business and patriotic and
unselfish in politics.
