LEAVE THE MATTER ALONE.

has already taken providing for the cleo
ton OF its successors at the primary cleo
ton 10 be held on April 26th We have
since met with additional evidence that
this Is 80. This is a matter OF the utmost
importance TO good government in this
city. our primary election Is everything
TO Richmond-it is really the election in
which those who are to administer her
government are chosen. The City Com
mittee have complete control Of it, 1t ap-
points the judges and clerks OF the pri-
mary election and makes the rules and
regulations under which it Is held. Hon
esty and fair dealing I'm 1t turn, therefore.
upon the committee. II it is constituted
OF the right sort Of men the primary
election will be fairly conducted and will
reflect the wishes and will Of the white
people OF Richmond. If it Is constituted
of bad material the chances are that the
primary election will be held by dishonest
officers and that frauds in it will take
place. We repeat, then, our primary Is
everything to us. and an honest primary
depends upon a good committee.
II the committee is elected by all the
Democratic voters in the primary election
we Will get a committee that is truly
representative of the white people Of the
city II 1t is not elected at the primary
IL Will be chosen during the hot weather
by packed ward meetings largely com
posed Of heelers and bummers, and will
possibly be a body TO manipulate the
primaries as their favorltes may desire.
Every white man in the city should cause
his voice to be heard upon this matter
II Is one of the most important which
can be considered. Talk 10 members of
the committee and let them know that
YOU want the committee elected at the
primary by the votes Of the people. and
that YOU want its present action, there
fore to stand.

THAT BALEFUL BILL.

The Times is as little disposed as pos
sible to embarrass Mr.. Cleveland by urg-
ing him to speed in acting on the seignior-
age bill. But there is really no occasion
for delay In that action. There are no
difficult questions TO be investigated
or economical problems to be solved. The
whole case lies on the surface. The bill
is one TO commit this Government to
the policy Of fiat money, which policy
the world understood the repeal OF the
Sherman law 10 be a reputation of by
these United States. it is, therefore,
reactionary bill that reacts towards the
most vicious economical policy to which
a nation could possibly commit itself.
As we have frequently said. it Is not
the 5000 900 Of forty-nve-cent dollars that
will be added 10 our currency that will
cause the harm. The injury lies in the
fact that the world will understand it
to be a declaration that this country
believes in the policy of scaling down the
debts ii owes TO foreigners, either private
or public. whenever IT is convenient to do
so. 10 whatever point the debtor likes
and without regard to the views Of the
creditor. The injury Is in the damage
il will do to the credit Of the United
States and TO that Of the people Of the
United States. An injury Of that sort
can never be estimated or measured II
is like the injury which a merchants
credit receives when charges affecting
his financial integrity are whispered
around uncontradcted. He never knows
he is hurt until he finds out that he is
ruined. The injury which this bill will
DO to these United States is Of the same
sort. Foreigners will gradually withdraw
their confidence from us and all our out
side dealings will be in the character of
a suspected party. What this will cost
us i'm dollars and cents no man can COM
pute, but its disastrous influence will be
felt In every quarter Of the land.
We have so much reliance upon Mr.
Cleveland's sound sense even judg-
ment, and Indifference to ignorant criti-
cism that we have never feared the
demagogue would be able to swerve him
from the path that all sound principles
of finance point out TO him here. But
it is unfortunate he should even appear
to hesitate about vicious measure like
this. We had hoped that he would have
returned this bill TO Congress with his
emphatic veto within two days after it
reached his hands.

The Religious Herald says: Rev.
George c. Needham D. d., whose revival
preaching has been greatly delighting
the Richmond people, is the Oldest OF
four brothers. all Baptist preachers.
Bro. Needham has two sons. members
Of DIR. Gordon's church. in Boston, who
may also become preachers"
Mr.. Needham remarked in the pulpit
the other day that there was a marked
difference in this and his first visit. on
his first visit everybody he met asked
him what church he belonged. and since
he had been here this time no one had
asked him the question. He said usually
when people asked him what he was. he
said: II am an Irishman." His brogue
however. gives away this secret without
any questions.

There is no doubt n powerful moral TO
be drawn from the melancholy disclosures
in this suit. but enough has been told
the public by the ewspapers-indeed,
more than enough-to accomplish every
good that can come from exposure, which
is in itself one Of the most powerful de-
torrents from crime, and truce should now
be declared to the loathsome details Of

LET ECONOMY BE TsE WORD.

The action taken by the Committee

stead OF by day labor, was wise and
Conservative The Engineers Office has
supplied figures which show that, com
paring the city's sewers that have been
dug by contract with those that have
been dug by day labor those that were
dug by contract cost the city less than
half what those cost that were dug by
day labor
We understand that $4,000 are TO be
spent this year is excavating sewers in
Richmond. This means that we will get
$4,000 worth Of sewers II they are dug
by contract, but that we will get only
about $4,000 worth II they are dug by
day labor Who will be punished and
who will be benefited IL we do this work

$4,000 OF their money wasted The soil
tary persons who IL is claimed will be
benefited are the comparatively few
workingmen who will be employed 10

derstood that the wages OF men working
for contractor were any less than those
OF other men who worked by the day.
