The AIrship Of the Future.

An interesting article on aerial nav
igation appears in McClure's Maya
zine from the pen of Professor Bell.
The professor holds some rather orig
inal views on the subject He main
tains that the discovery of the bal
loon retarded the solution of the fly.
ing problem for a century. In his
opinion, the fundamental principle
Of aerial navigation is that the air.
ship should be heavier than the air.
He says:
Electricity in one form or another
will undoubtedly be the motive pow
er for airships, and every advance in
electrical knowledge brings us one
step nearer to the day when we shall
fly. 1t would be perfectly possible
today to direct flying machine by
means of pendant electric wires
which would transmit the necessary

Faots About the Hair.

mothers re coming in again with tho
adoption of silk nightcaps. These caps.
it is claimed, absorb the perspiratiop
that weaken the roots of the hair and
protect the head from drafts and
chills that make the hair come out. The
cap is, however, by no means the only
agent in making the hair soft and shin,

much to do with it as well as keeping
the scalp clean by an occasional washing
with CASTLE soap and soft water or the

The object of brushing the hair is not
only to stimulate the scalp and keep II
free from dandruff, but to keep it freS
from every particle of dust its entire

with closely set bristles is necessary.

THE PERSICIOUS MEASURE PENDING
BEFORE CONGRESS.

The bill pending before Congress known
( as the "Anti-Option" bill ought 70 be de-
feated. It is one Of the most pernicious
measures ever introduced into that body.
and It is plainly repugnant to the Consti-
tuition Of the United States. The BILL In
brief. seeks to preveI sales of certain
agricultural products the same TO be de-
! Iivered at a future day 1t is constructed
upon an assumption that all sales for
future delivery are necessarily gambling
transactions, and that gambling trans
actions In futures necessarily depress the
prices Of the articles concerning which
the transaction is had. Neither assump-
ton is necessarily true, and both assump-
tions are, in fact, absolutely false.
Whatever individual is of a progressive
and speculative turn of mind, If he have
the means with which to do so, will in
evitably tend towards purchasing some ar
ticle that he has given particular atten-
ton to- in the expectation that its price
will be greater some months hence than
il is now. Whoever Is Of a Responding
bly, tend towards accommodating the pro-
posed purchaser by selling him that ar
ticle, TO be delivered at a future day, be-
ieving. as he does, that all things are
moving towards the "demnition bow
vows" and a sale made by him to-day,
the article to be delivered July 1st. is
nothing but an expression of his opinion.
that the article is going to decline in
price, and that be can buy 1t on July lst
and deliver it that day, for a smaller
price that the purchaser has agreed to
day to pay for it.
SO long as some men are inspired by
the elements OF hope and confidence there
will be purchasers-or spectators. If you
prefer the word-of this sort. SO long as
other men are responding and moody in
temperament there will be sellers Of the
other sort. But the transaction upon the
part Of each is bona flde and genuine, and
there is no element of gambling in il
whatever
Congress seeks to prevent transactions
Of this sort by the "Anu-Option bill" It's
title should, therefore, be changed so as
10 read as follows: "a bill to prevent
hopeful men from hereafter baslng their
conduct upon their hopes. and to prevent
respondent men from hereafter basing
their conduct upon their fears"-and a
pretty state Of affairs we would have
when the bill was universally obeyed.
But the assumption that transactions in
futures, which are gambling pure and
simple. necessarily tend towards de-
pressing the price of the article dealt In. is
just as gratuitous as the other assumption
that all transactions in futures are ne
cessarily gambling transactions. The ar
gument that such necessarily depress
prices proceeds Upon the proposition that
every person who bets that the price OF
grain will be lower on July list, becomes |
Interested TO depress its price, and in this
way he has an enormous body OF men |
striving with all their might 10 put the |
price OF grain down. But there must be |

earnest. those who obstruct had better get
out OF the way. When this concerted ac-
ton occurs It means that the body of the
people OF Virginia are moving in a GER
tain direction. and that. never yet. has
failed to mean a great deal.
In this connection we quote the follow
ing excellent article from the Atlanta
Constitution:
The speech CT Mr.. Fairchild before
the Tariff Reform League, Of Boston, the
other day has created something Of Il
sensation in the North and East. Mr.
Fairchild was Secretary Of the Treasury
under Mr.. Cleveland. and he is supposed
10 voice 10 some extent the views OF the
President-eiect on the currency question
II this is the case, MIR. Cleveland Is I'm
favor OF the prompt repeal Of the ten
per cent. prohibtory tax on State bank
circulation.
Ex-Secreatry Fairchild, in the course
or his speech took radical ground on that
issue, and his remarks were applauded
70 the echo by the business men who COM
posed his audience. He declared that the
bank-note problem must be faced, and
he said with equal emphasis that there
is no reason why the Government should
prevent a man from issuing his personal
obligation 70 pay one dollar, or another
man from receiving Il.
The ex-Secretary claims that the people
had found that the bank-note system
oiled the wheels OF commerce. as did the
promissory note. He said that there is
no more sense in depriving the American
people OF one OF the most useful devices
OF modern times because sometimes some
one suffers, than there is in depriving
them of any other weii-known device OF
commercial faciliation.
Ex-Secretary Fairchid went on in this
strain at some length. showing that he is
enthusiastically in favor Of a State bank
currency. There is nothing at all surpris-
ing in this. The Constitution has been
discussing this question for more than a
dozen years, and during that time IL
has never had the pleasure OF seeing
from the opponents OF State banks n
single argument that was worth consid-
ering. All that can be said is that under
lax laws there were wildcat banks nut

THE VIRGINIA DEBT Is SETTLED.

Nearly a year has passed since the
LEGISLATURE. with marvellous unanimity,
adopted the plan OF settlement OF our
State debt, which had met the APP
proval of the representatives. OF
the bondholders. This closed the mat
ter. The Times has been debt-paying
paper from the beginning Of its existence,
but it has always recognized that there
were deep equities to be considered which
involved the Intervention Of disinterested
outsiders who could give the matter
Just Judgment This has been done. The
judgment has been entered up and the
debt settled.
The attempt 10 harass the State with
the continued use OF coupons in the pay
ment of taxes should be discouraged and
frowned down by every citizen who loves
fair play and wishes to end this distress
ing contest. Equality is equity Substan-
tlal equity has been done by the Oicott
settlement, and it is not fair for some
taxpayers to force in twenty-hve-cent
coupons for one hundred cents Of taxes.

bets that grain will be lower in July is
interested TO depress grain, the one who
bets that II viii be higher becomes In
terested to raise It's price, so that the one
exactly balances the other. IL either gets
the advantage IL is just as likely to be the
one who bets on the low price. The
| gambling transaction Is Just as likely,
therefore, TO raise the price OF grain as IT
is to lower it. In other words. It has no
the law OF supply and demand.
But the Exchanges for dealing In fu-
lures have this most beneficial effect:
Before we had Exchanges the wheat crop
or the corn crop or the cotton crop or
any other crop OF all the farmers came
upon the market at the same time. All
sold then, when all were endeavoring to
sell. and prices were consequently lowered
necessarily by the glut. The farmer got,
therefore, less than what his crop should
have brought. But the Exchanges are
open all the year round. with sharp
spectators all the time estimating the
quantity Of the unreaped crop and the
amount OF demand for IT and trading on
this estimate. They are therefore fur
nishing the farmer with a market every
day In the year, so that the pressure TO
sell all at once never takes place now.
but the sale of a crop is spread gradually
over whole season. This regular and
steady market for the farmer the Anti
option" bill would destroy, renting the
farmer to his old status under which he
had TO sell his crop at the moment every
other farmer was endeavoring to sell his,
or to store it and walt for a market, with
all the losses that that involves.
Secondly. The bill is the most nagrantly
unconstitutional bill of all the wildcat
legislation that the last twenty years have
brought forward
II two farmers in Hanover wanted TO
trade their horses and they were told
an act of Congress prohibited the trade
they would be very much astounded.
They would say the American people
never gave congress any power 10 leBlS~
late concerning such matters. Now this
is exactly what Congress is undertaking
TO do. 1t is undertaking 10 say that two
neighbors in Richmond or in Hanover
shall not make such bargains between
themselves about their horses or cattle
or garden products as they choose to
make. Congress knows, Of course. that
the courts would at once declare its act
void If 1t were put in this bold form. So.
having power to lay taxes for the support
Of the Government. this bill pretends 10
impose taxes on all future sales for sup
plying the Governments revenue, but It
makes the tax so heavy that no sales can
be made. 1t is the tax on the issues Of
State banks over again. This. OF course,
is most palpable and disgraceful abuse
Of the taxing power II is doing a thing
that Congress is forbidden to do under
a false pretense Of doing another thing
that IT has a right to do. The bill should
be kicked out Of Congress.
