frame building still standing near the
elegant new one, and now used for
church purposes by Swedish society.

Shows Versus Street-Cars.

Human nature rebels against praising
a street-rsilway company. but really after
seeing the display of energy by which our
street-car company yesterday after few
hours fight conquered one of the greatest
snowfalls seen In Virginia in q quarter of
a century. we must insist that no city Of
the size Of Richmond has better street.
car system than we have.
OF course people will tell you what the
companies in New York do under similar
circumstances. but that is rather to ex-
plot their own intimate knowledge Of the
ways of the great metropolis than TO con-
vert you to the belief that Richmond is
or should be "up,to o" New York.
When the trolley-wire was fret intro
duced here 1t was feared that when it
should become covered with snow or
sleet the cars would oil be brought TO
stand-still, but it has not proved so-that
is to say, the Richmond street-car mana
gers are usually smart enough not TO let
the trolley wire get coated with ice. BY
keeping cars always on the tracks and by
the use of s>ow-plows and manual labor,
they have. 80 for. defed the SHOWS of one

ing the collection of the statistics fur
nished was doubtless very great. as we'll as
that of arranging them for publication,
aud the DISPATCH did that city splendid
service by this advertisement Of its bust
ness growth. And we must here remark
that while the DISPATCH may sometimes
take issue with ITS Democratic brethren rs
TO the policies of the party. if it does not
surrender its opinions after the party has
acted, no paper more earnestly and edec-
lively responds to such action than the

Clear Away the Snow.

II Is pleasant to see that most of our peo-
pie are prompt to obey the city ordinance
requiring householders and lot-owners TO
clean the snow from the sidewalks in front
Of and by the side of their premises.
No man of public spirit ought to wait to
be driven to the performap co of this plain
duty by the police. It is a sign of sub
stantial progress that very few "kickers"
against the law are nowadays found. and
il is worthy of note that the kickers "
are seldom poor people.
There is good ground for complaint
against the city itself for not removing
the snow from the sidewalks in front OF
its parks and public buildings.
There is also complaint that in front of
many unfinished buildings the snow Is
not removed as it should be.

Dealing in Ontions and Futures.


There is much interest felt all over the
land in the bill now pending in the United
States Senate defining "optlons" and " fu-
lures" and imposing special taxes on all
dealers therein, and requiring such dealers
and persons engaged in selling certain pro-
ducts to Obtain license. The bill has been
fully discussed by number OF senators, and
with extraordinary ability by Mr.. GEoRaE,
of Mississippi, and MIR. Villas, of Wiscon-
sin. The speech OF the former gentleman
we have heretofore referred TO. The speech
of this latter gentleman against the bill is
one of profound ability as well as ex-
haustive Ia Its treatment OF the constitu-
tional questions involved. II shows that
Mr.. Villas is thoroughly. equipped states
man as well as one of the most courteous
and accomplished gentlemen IN the Sc
nate. We do not wish to discuss in this
article the merits or dement's of the bill
in question. but simply to let our readers
know its most marked features.
The hill first defines the words sop
tions" and futures as therein used. and
then imposes g tax or license fee OF $1,000
annually upon every dealer IN such cop
tions and futures." The bill also i'm
poses O tax Of cents per pound to be paid
by the seller for every pound OF cotton,
for every bushel of wheat, corn. oats, rye,
OF barley that may be bargained tor sale
by any such contract. The reader viii IN
derstand at once that no such taxes can
be collected. They are 30 high that there
