Retrenohment and Reform.

The gentlemen composing the City
Council Committee on Retrenchment and
Reform are performing laborious and
disagreeable duty with u purpose single
TO the good OF this community.
1t cannot afford them any pleasure TO
have to report in favor of the abridg-
ment Of the income of any worthy officer
or employee, but I'm view OF the fact that
for several years past the city has been
living beyond It's means and selling bonds
TO meet the deficit, 1t Is indispensable
that it should either cut down its ex-
penses or raise taxes. No one proposes
to raise taxes. No one is going TO pro-
pose 1t seriously. Then the only thing TO
do is TO economic in our living expenses
that is, If we do not wish to go on selling
bonds.
The Committee on Retrenchment and
Reform have set forth all Of these facts
In their reports. They have also pointed
out how we may economic in our ex-
penditures. From month TO month they
will make further suggestions. AS yet
they are only on the threshold Of their
careful attention of the City Council, and
of the public as WELL Every taxpayer
should study these reports. The commit
tee have set forth a condition Of things
demanding remedy, IL we would preserve
our credit at the high standard where
we have always been able to keep it.
The necessity for retrenchment has been
clearly shown. And now the Democratic
members OF the City Council should give
these recommendations earnest conside-
ration. If right they should be adopted.
Where they are wrong they should be
amended. For ourselves we expect to
support them IN the main. but
whenever we see any recommendation
which is at variance with our idea of
justice and sound public policy, we shall
be prompt to condemn It,
We have always insisted that the Dem
ocratic party OF this city and State is
fully able and always willing to do what
ever reforming is necessary without the
help of outsiders. Help us to make good
this claim. Let us bring the expenses Of
the city of Richmond within our income.
We appreciate that this is disagree
able thing TO have 10 dove are aware
that many objections will be raised and
outcrles raised-but will 1t not be better
for us Democrats to do this work than TO
leave II for so-called Performers" to do?
We think so. Sooner or later it has got
TO be done.
The figures of the Committee on Re
trenchment and Reform are before the
public. The record is being made up.
Unless these statements can be success
fully controverted the Democratic party
in the City Council has no alternative
hut must do the retrenching itself or
give way TO others who will perform that
duty.
The economies which we shall be forced
10 practice for the present can be safely
relaxed when better times come With re-
turning business prosperity will come IN
creased property valuations, and these
will add to cur current revenue without
any increase of the tax-rate. Richmond is
not going TO come to standstill-no not
If we exercise the same prudence In the
management OF our municipal affairs that
wise business men do in theirs.

Proposed G. & o. Branch Line.

A Charleston CIV. Va) special to the
Baltimore American says: The Chesa-
peake and Ohio Railroad Company has
contracted for the construction Of a

cept to the south by way Of the Norfolk

Suicide.
A Pennsboro' CW. Val special to the
Baltimore American sayc: The Moore
family, consisting OF Charles W. Moore
and his wife Mary, and Mary's mother
Rebecca Moore, Mary name not having
changed at marriage. can hardly be
called a happy family They live on
Huslurs Run, two miles from here. On
Friday Frank Rawson came to town at
a gallop for a doctor to treat the mother
in-law, who had taken poison with
view to ending her troubles. A stomach
pump and the doctors skill brought the
old lady around. Yesterday Mary, the
nother-in-law's daughter. became offend
ed at her husband and said she
would kill herself. Charley. not wanting
her to do H. in his absence, locked up the
shotgun and took the revolver with him.
When he returned he found his wife
ne nging by a rope from rafter on the
porch. She was black in the face and
almost dead. He cut her down and sue
ceeded in bringing her around. After the
neighbors gathered, Mrs. Moore. Jr., said
she would kill herself yet and her mother
declared IL she did there was no use OF
her living, and Charley thought he would
also shuttle off and erd the family
Trey are all alive to-day.

Tho Tariff and the Currency.

The Atlanta Journal desires to see the
tariff aid currency questions settled by
the existing Congress. Here is q speci-
men of that papers utterances:
1.-THE tariff question Is practically set
tied. The Republican party Is powerless
to interfere with the present law except
10 improve it in the line of reduction oil
duties while Mr.. Cleveland remains the
President. II they agitate 1t with view
of restoring the Mckinley law during the
Fifty-fourth Congress, the people will
overthrow them in 1886, as they have our
party this year with tariff for revenue.
But the people also want and will have
sound currency. Populism has been
buried out OF sight The Democratic
party can only avoid the same fate by
getting together and showing TO the coun-
try that It is both able and willing TO
provide currency equal 70 the best In
the world"
Yes, the pop-gun bills are as dead as
Popuiism. The tariff will hereafter be
improved only as experience may suggest
and demand.
And the people also want sound curren-
cy. But here comes in trouble which our
Atlanta contemporary does not mention
namely. that there are so many diverse
opinions on this subject. The President,
too, has his own notions as TO what con-
stitutes a sound currency. His message
and Mr. Carlisles annual report tell us
what the country may expect from the
administration. II was Democratic doc
trine In General Jackson's day that the
government ought to be divorced from
the banks and Of course ought not to
do banking business. Federal super
vision of whatever kind Of currency is
to be issued hereafter will insure the
sound currency which the President
favors. There Is no reason TO doubt that
the hanks and bankers will cooperate
with the President in devising a new
system OF banking and currency. And
as to the tax on the Issues Of State
banks, II II is repealed and its repeal works
badly. Congress can re-tnact 1t.

CHANGING MODE OF APPROACH.
Mayor Council to Send Communication
to Select Councll

Al the first meeting OF select coun-
Gil, Mayor Conuell will send in a com
municRtiou asking that tha propoied
approach to tho Pttston avenue bridge
be changed. The change contemplated
will not lengthen the bridge nor alter
the cost, and thoss who havo seen the
plan as proposed by the mayor are
unanimous in their opinion that the
change is desirable.
1t il true that Mr.. Platt has offered
TO sell Il strip Of land sixty feet wide to
the city. which strip is intended az Il
continuation OF Spruce street. Be-
Mr.. Platt intends to leave Il strip OF
land fifty feet in width and it Is feared
that the owner may be sordid enough
to endsavor TO sell this small tract for
business purposes, in which event it
would be most disa1vantaReous to the
persons who have erected handsome
residences on Platt place.
To guard against such a contingency
the mayor will suggest that councils
enter into negotiations with Mr.. Platt,
asking that he givs a strip Of land
sixty feet in width running into Platt
place. This would make an approach
to the bridge 100 feet in width and will
make the bridge available at once from
Ridge row, Spruce stre't and Jefferson
avenue Ia case Mr. Platt refuses to
enter into negotiations with the city,
court will be petitioned to appoint
viewers to condemn the tract. In such
an event it is expected that the pro-
posed approach can be purchased for
less than $50, 900.

Word in regard to extracts. No article that
Is used in cooking is more subject to dilution
than havoring extracts. For instance, gal.
lon Of Extract Of Vanilla can be produced
costing Slj to SIS, or It can be reduced by tho
use OF alcohol to cost not exceeding S2 per
gallon. An inferior vanilla bean can be
bought for 81 ~ pound, whereas strictly
hrst-class bean OF delicious flavor will bring
~ to SlO per pound. so you can see how very
easy II is TO have bottle Of vanilla or any
other extract that can be sold for about the
cost OF tho bottle liable and cora. But this
Is not the quality most good housewives wish
70 buy. in fact, most OF them will say "tho

this fact, we have had put up by thoroughly
reliable party line of Extracts that we can
