The rnnab,tants Of Richmond.

The enumeration OF the inhabitants OK
the city Of Richmond as made blythe en-
ployees OF the United States Census Bu-
reau IN 1890 was bad job. There was no
astonishing lack of system about It, ana
the work was prolonged into the hot sea-
son. whom great numbers Of our families
had left tho city for the summer.
We are aware that nearly every city that
was disappointed in ats expectations with
reference to population made an outcry
against the census officials; but Rich
mond not only cried out in indignation
against the injustice done her, but pre-
sented the evidence of that fact. Upon
this evidence many OF the returns were
corrected before the grand aggregate was
made. but we really should have insisted
upon q new enumeration.
Whether the enumeration OF 1890, ns
amended and corrected through the et-
forts Of the newspapers and the Chamber
of Commerce. vas near the truth or not
we do not know certainly, but We do Know
that tho public has never put very much
faith in II. The time has come now Tor US
1 TO make census Of our own, and with the
U
police as enpmerators.
We need the exact figures Of our popu-
latiop in that sanitary investigation which
we hope soon to have, and We need
+ them for numerous other purposes.
/ Therefore. let as resolve to have them-not
now lint some time In the month OF No.
vember.
Along with an enumeration of the In
bsbitants of Richmond the DISPATCH
would like to see q count OF the inhaoi-
tauts OF those of our suburbs which lie
within half q mile of our corporation line
The limits of Richmond have not been
extended for twenty-five years. During
this time our city population has largely
increased. while our suburban population
hos grown ten-fold. The police made just
suoh census ten years ago. and 1t would
be proftable 70 institute comparison
between then and now.
Richmond is ono of the few cities OF
this country which seem to have no am
b,tion TO eggrandizs themselves by moor
porating neighboring territory. 1t this
policy is TO continue the time will come
when big Richmond will be outside OF
the corporate limits - " beyond the
WALL and Little Richmond inside.
Indeed, there is good zeal of advantage
in being able 10 pay a county rate of taxa
ton and yet from nearness to the city
have nearly oil the advantages that the
city affords.
Numerous cities extended their limits in
anticipation of the census OF 1890. IL Man.
chester. and the suburbs of Richmond and
Manchester within circle Of half mile
were now merged into this municipality
we should have population of between
los. 900 and 10000. calculating upon three
years natural increase on the basis of the
/ pArsimonious figures Of 1890
We trust that this matter will enlist
public attention, aud that The City Coun'
oil will duly provide for census 20 b'
made by the police force, under direction
I of ito chief

1+n Confidence That Is Needed.

The presidents of tho savings institu-
tlons in New York and Brooklyn held q
meeting on Friday last and decided to
require that notice of thirty or sixty
DAYS must be given by depositors who de-
sire to withdraw their money from those
institutions before the same shall tecome
payable. This action means nothing more
than that the savings institutions had
lent out the money in question for thirty
or sixty days aud could not pay their de'
positors until it had been returned.

No Panic-Why Not?

One OF our Cincinnati exchanges gives
10 the Building Fund Associations OF that
city the credit for the good condition OF
the banks there. 1t SAYS
"The money deposited IN them (tho building
a.socations) Is invented In firstclsss real estate
securities, and every one OF the deposi'ors feels
safe: bu, thoy cannot. under the influence OF a
scare. withdraw their money Without notice.
hence /. IA tia, the building association deposi-
tor, 90 sos susrcr themselves to DO worked iato
ststs of pasac."
No panic, no Withdrawal OF deposits.
No withdrawal of deposits, no disturbance
IN tho money markets.

The Scheme for Securing Depositors

The Scheme for Securing Depositors.
A Southside Virginian who is exceed
incly clear-headed, writes to US on the sub
ject of securing depositors. National
bonds are no longer to be had to be used
probably in the banking business; and
therefore unless Congress shall authorize
the issue OF new bonds to be used for that
purpose, as that body is not At all likely
to 90, We need not discuss that method of
securing either depositors or note-holders
from loss by bad management OF the banks.
Our correspondent thinks that tor the
govern hent to guarantee depositors
against loss would be taking "a mighty
big risk for mighty small pay" seeing that
as the amount bank might receive on
deposit Is unlimited. it mighs come to pass
that national bauk having only 100000
capital would have million of dollars or
deposits in its possession. Such guarantee
would produce reckless banking. our cor
respondent thinks. AS he says the fear
that the banks are not safe repositories
has caused the country to lose more than
if the government were to buy four mil
hons OF dollars worth of silver every
month for the next ten years and at the
expiration of that time sell it for Atty
cents Oh the dollar. Fear is bad coun-
sellor at best. and especially so when. as is
ofttimes the case. that fear is founded in
Ignorance"

We do not believe that Congress Is going
TO engage in the work of encouraging
wildcat banking. The 10 per cent. tax on
State bank currency may be abolished.
an yet the same Congress that abolishes
II may provide that It's repeal snail not re-
suit in the substitution OF untrustworthy
banks and local currency for the present

ON HORSEBACK.

The riding costumes for the country
violates every precedent. One is quite IN
the bounds Of proprety and even OF fash
ion this year if one is attIred as follows:
Pale-gray soft alpine hat set little to one
side, silk sbirt-waist in any color the
wearer chooses gray or brown habit skirt
Of lightweight material and OF walking
length. 1t is disgracefully informal, is it
not? However. comfort Is its recon-
incubation. The only item Of the entire
toilet reminding one of the orthodox
habit costume is the boots. These must
DO the regular riding boots, Morocco
legged and finished with patent leather.

NEW YoRK, July 29.-At the springs, IN
the mountains, or on the seashore the
summer procession passes by in the same
ra,nbow-hued, semi-diaphanous raiment-
a human fiower-garden blooming its love-
lest IN the radiance of the summer sun
shine. Like the botanist, it is the part OF
the acknowledgements to dissect all this
enchanting Kaleidoscope OF beauty, to

hans DESTROY oil its charms in the
process, Among these varied blooms there
are many rare exotics. brought from sunny
France. These are. OF course, the most
admired aud sometimes deseryedly. There
Is daintiness OF conception and touch
about o French gown that glorihes the
plainest fabrics. Witness O very charming
toilet for the seaside which arrived the
other day and which IS of no more amoi-
/ ticus a material than white bstiste, with q
I tiny blue dot in 1t. IL Is trimmed with
lace and ribbon as follows:

OF very pale blue silk ribbon, knotted at

+ tisbly about the shoulders. The very full
sleeves of batIste terminated at the

with blue ribbon bows and were
intended to be supplemented by
blue silk long gloves. The skirt
was full; pretty effect was achieved
around the foot of it by attaching double
loop9 OF broad blue satin ribbon to the
edge Of the skirt. carrying them diago-
nally up, parallel TO each other, TO dis
tance of perhaps eighteen inches. This
trimming was the only ornamentation oil

A Pigeon with a Memory,

It seems really impossible to extin-
guish the homing instinct in good pig
con. A wonderful story is told by a
pigeon fancying journal of French
carrier pigeon which was captured by
the German soldiers during the siege Of
Paris in 1870.
The bird was being carried in bal
loon from Paris TO some point In the
country whence it was expected to re-
turn to Paris with a message. 1t was
taken to the German headquarters and
presented to the commander, Prince
Frederick Charles, who sent 1t TO his
mother In Germany. Here 1t was
placed in splendid roomy avalry and
carefully fed and nourished; but al
though it was kept here, living in the
lap Of royal luxury for four years, the
French pigeon did not forget its father
land.
At the end of that time the aviary was
left open one day. The pigeon flew out,
mounted high In the air, flew about for
o moment, as if to find the points of the
compass, and started in straight line
for Paris.
Two days afterward it beat its wings
against the entrance to its old loft in
the Boulevard de Clichy. There it was
recognized, and its case being brought
to public attention it was honored as a
patriot returned from foreign captivity.
1t remained at the Paris Jardln d Ac-
climatation until 1t died in 1878.

Curing tho Rheumatism.

talk about sick men In hotel, said
Ed Frey, veteran hotel clerk, who Is
stopping at the Southern. "Let me tell
you of an experience we had with fell
low not long ago. He came to the house
all right, but ne took heavy cold, and
1t seemed to go into sort of rheuma-
tism and settled In his shoulders. The
poor fellow suffered awfully, and
couldn't lift his hands to save his life.
He sent for doctor, and, of course, got
prescription which didn't do him
particle Of good. One Of the bell boys
heard that witch-hazel was good
thing, and. seeing bottle of it In one
Of the rooms, brought 1t in to the sick
man. The fellow was glad enough to
try anything, and the bell boy rubbed
him with it maufully. About two hours
after the rubbing the sick man felt the
thing begin to burn, and word soon
came to the office that he felt as If he
were all afire. l went up and found
him in awful pain. l asked him the
cause OF it, and he pointed to the witch
hazel bottle. I looked at it and found
that 1t was an old bottle filled with fur
niture polish. There was state of
things. Finally the fellow, in his pain,
commenced to jump about the room,
and as he did so he would throw his
arms over his head. In about an hours
time the burning stopped and his rheu
matism was gone. He had u few
blisters to take care Of, but he was so
glad to get the use Of his arms that he
never made kick. Funny cure, wasn't
it?"-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

Original Method of Theft.

An ingenious method of theft is
thus described as taking place on the
coasts of South America. 1t is need
less to say that the perpetrators are,
of course, professionals"
zone sailor is sitting, half asleep,
on his sea-chest. A gaucho quietly
comes up and taps him on the back.
'Bueno, Johnny; bueno, Johnny III
you are not off, I'll send bullet into
yov, says Jack. Bueno Johnny;
bueno; till tomorrow and off skulks
the gaucho to his horse, which he
mounts. With a sardonlc smile he
takes off his hat to Jack, bids him
farewell, and digging his spurs into
the TANKS of his wiry little horse,
leans over his neck, and is off at full
gallop over the short grass Of the
sandy plains. At the first stride of
the horse, to Jacks intense surprise,
his box is wrenched violently from
under him. He jumps up, rubs his
eyes, and, before he can recover his
senses, he sees his property rolling
and humping away over the sand
hills, at the heels of the gaucho's
steed; for this clever gentleman had
to make one end Of his lasso
fast to the handle Of Jacks box while
engaged In conversation with him."
