How Is Business ?

The Dispatch to-day publishes interviews
with a number Of leading Businessman
as TO the prospects Of trade.
The general testimony is that the settle
Iront Of the tariff question has already
commenced to work wonders; that the
crcps Of this State and North Carolina
are excellent; that bank and merchants
collections are good, and that the o.gani-
cation Of the Southern Railway Company
has had vastly beneficial effect through
out the South.
In nearly every line AMI branch the
change for the better has been marked
since the tariff bill became Il law, and
while 10 one claims that business has
yet attained its normal state, there is
great confidence felt that the improve
ment now manifest viii continue.
In the course OF a few years We BE-
lieve that this country viii see more pros
porous trade conditions than 1t has hal
at any time within this generation. And
In this view We are supported by men
who have had much experience Ia trace,
ana VINO, under no ClIthiiial1l'N7' Np-4A
say anything to beguile the public in'o
ovcrconildence.
Yes, better times are coming-betto r
times for the farmer and city man; b.
ter times for employer and employee, aad
better times for al who have worthy
enterprises which they wish - launch.
In our judgment those who buy Rich
mond real-estate at present prices WILL
in the course Of a few years, reap larse
profits. This city IS on = solid basis. Il
is growing in wealth ard population, and
is becoming more and more beautiful.
1t is getting to be a big city. and rich
city.
We rejoice at the revival Of busine- s
throughout the country; but We particu-
larry rejoice in the evidences OF return
ing prosperity here because it jus'ines
our faith in Richmond's future-a future
that never was brighter

ago. II II was generally known before
that time. We are unaware Of II. 1t Ger.
tain,y could not have been known to tho
state authorities. else they would have
made some effort TO get copies Of the
rolls.
The rolls which the Federal Government
has. and TO which we refer. were cap
tured among the archives OF the Confedc.
racy and Virginia at the close OF the war.
Many OF them are paymasters' rolls,
hut others OF them are muster-rolls. As
N their authenticity there can be no
doubt.
From these rolls, II appears that Vir-
ginia furnished TO the confederacy ca
regiments and % battalons OF infantry.
and 10 regiments. ard numerous battallons
~ cavalry. besides great number of
,at.erIes-far more artillery than any
other State. we suspect. But the rolls Of
the batteries are. unfortunately. not in
dexed TO facilitate an easy count. In
the beginning a battery was called Smiths
Rattery. later II was called Jones's later
Browns, and so on as captaihs were
changed by death, resignation, or promo
ton.
Our duty TO the dead. whom we are so
fond of panegyrizlng. demands that we
should set apart enough money to secure
comics OF these rolls. These copies we
should bring 10 Richmond. where they
could be put among the public records
until such time as we are ready 70 ammo
tate and publish them. We look for
favorable action on this question at the
very next meeting OF the General AS
epmbly.

China's Internal Weakness.

In addition to her war with the Jap1-
nese over Korea, China has TO deal With
n court war at Picking. which has as
summed phases that threaten to interfere
seriously with united action against the
foreign foe.
For some time there has been bitter ri
yalry between the Dowager Empress and
the Young Emperor. During the formers
regency she was not only the nominal,
but the real ruler of China, and when
the Emperor reached his majority her
surrender OF the sceptre was IN large
measure formal; seeing that by her inn
perious will and through the support OF
the mandarins she managed to establish
herself as the power behind the throne.
Recently. however, the Emperor, who IS
somewhat progressive, and also has a
will of his own, has on occasions as
serted his authority in very pronOGno d
fashion, and as a consequence the court
is divided into two openly hostile factions
The Dowager Empress supports Ii Hung
Chang as against the Emperor, and seems
determined TO rule or ruin. and is IN turn
backed by powerful party in PekinS.
ON the other hand, the Emperor is equally
determined to be his own master, and -
said 20 have d powerful support also.
His emissaries are reported to have the
Niceroy under surveillance. with view
TO giving immediate information Of any
defeat the Chinese troops may meet with
and OF fostering feeling against him. and
the agents Of the Dowager Empress are
active in endeavoring to throw the re-
sponsibility Of Chinese reverses upon the
Emperor's policy.
But this condition Of affairs IS not the
only element Of China's weakness which
would prove Of great advantage ~ the
japanese should they attempt descent
upon Picking. All through Middle China
there IS a lack of loyalty to the dynasty,
which is Nanchu. In view Of this, Of
the court strife and Of the fact that As
fighting stock the Chinese OF this division
Of the Empire do not deserve To be men,
toned I'm the same breath with the troops
that are confronting the Japanc-e in
Korea, 1t Will be readily understood that
a japanese movement in force upon the
capital would probably enl the var m
victory FOR Japan. II might also lead to
the overthrow Of the d. nasty if tie tH-
ropean powers all not interfere 10 pre-
vent that result

Union Theological Seminary.

The pconle Of Farmville and Prince
Edward county and many other friends
of the Union Theological Seminary arc
much disturbed in mind by the agitation
Of the question of the removal OF the
seminary from It's present seat 10 hlch-
mond or some ether Virginia city.
The great objection urged against the
present location IS that II is TOO DIS
tant from any railroad station. To OBJ
viatc this, it is now proposed by friends
Of that location to construct a railway
lire from Farmviue to Hampden-Sidney
the seat OF the seminary.
II seems that there is a road-bed
GRADED for much Of the distance between
the two places. and which has never been
used and IS not likely TO be unless by
this proposed line.
The people of Richmond are not the
authors of the movement for the removal
of the seminary. Our community's posi-
ton is that If the institution is to be re-
moved to a city, We shall endeaVor 10
show that Richmond is tie best city Tor
IT, and We shall offer inducements to the
seminary authorities 10 locate here; but
We know Of no purpose among our peo>
rle TO run down the present site.
Furthermore. we may say that shouid
the proposed railway be balt' the adVo'
cates Of removal will have their chiei
urops knocked from ander them.
Richmond would like to nave me
Union theological Seminary here; we
should consider It "A great acquisiuoh'
of course. but the purpose of our people
is not hostile to the community in which
the seminary has so long pursued its
useful career.

Preparing Roster of 10000 Names.

INDIANAPOLIS, IND, September c.
Special 10 the Chicago Tribune)-A roll
OF names is being prepared Icy Adjutaut-
General Irvine Robbins. When the list is
completed it Will contain about 5000
names \ report Ia received from each
county Of all the living soldiers Of all wars
since the Indian outbreaks, with their
rank. company, and regiment; Of all sol
diers' widows. and of all soldiers or
phans under Is. The State law requires
that a copy Of these names shall BE-
made il alphabetical ORDER and filed in
the Adjutant-G enerals Office Another
copy is required for me Pension Depart
ment at Washington. The Adjutant-
General estimates it win Gequire six men
for a year TO do the work provided in
the statutes.
This is not a bed idea, by any means.
In the case Of Virginia. however, the
very first thing that we ought to do is
10 make up d statement Of tie number
Of regiments and battalions Of infantry,
artillery. and cavalry which Virginia fur
n.shed to the Confederate army.
The Dispatch has reason to believe that
the number OF such commands was larger
than has ever been claimed by Viz
g.nians. II We continue unsupplied with
official figures we may give room
for the suspicion that some other States
did their duty In furnishing soldiers
more fully than Virginia did hers. We
do not believe that this is so-certainy
il is not so if We take INTO considera-
ton the extent OF the territory Of Vir-
ginia which was overrun by the enemy;
territory from which we could draw
neither men nor provisions.
After we make up a preliminary and
approximate statement as 20 the names
and numbers of our commands, We should
make copies of all our rolls now in ex-
istence and put them on file at our State
Capitol.
Next. these rolls should be compared
and consolidated. BY this we mean that
where there are two or more rolls OF
the same regiment. the various rolls
should be merged into one roll. and that
one roll should be published with proper
annotatlons.
This will be big work" We fancy
we hear some persons saying. We an
swer. undoubtedly" Nevertheless 1t is
a work which should be done. Other
States have done 1t for their soldiers.
and why should not we? AT any rate.
we take II for granted that no man In
this State will object to the General
Assemblys making an appropriation to
copy the rolls and put them among the
records In our State Library. Let US at
least 20 that far. II no farther.
Rolls Of all Virginia commands are in
the War Records Oiiice at Washington.

a Naxu Alignment

T, Is hardly credible that the kepubh-
can party should set itself up as 'he
cbamnion OF bimetallism; but 1t IS I'M
lo,htedlv true that the number or the
p ,nubllcans who favor bimctallism has
largely increased during the last rev
years "The best promise" says the New
YORK Press. that exists OF the speedy
extension OF justice to silver. is to be
found in the Republican party which mas
a sood chance Of controlling the govern
men,. and which, plainly. is beginning 10
recognize that tariff protection ana d.
metallism are one cause. as free trade
and gold recommendation are the twin IN
yentions of interests unfriendly to TINS
nation"
That's a sentence which will attract at"
tention: but 1t requires a good deal OF
effrontery for Republican leader to
claim that tariff protection and bimetal-
lisn are one cause. as free trade ana
gold mOnometallism are the twin inven-
lions OF interests unfriendly TO the ma
ton" The Democratic party will not be
able to recognize Itself in this garb.
All the same. these averments OF our
New York contemporary show that 1.-THE
leayen Is working" True bimetellism will
yet be evolved from the numerous theo-
rles on this subject.

Schools For Voters.

The Virginia Tribune. the Republican
weekly paper published in this city, ad-
vises the local committees OF that party
10 open schools OF instruction so that
nuterates may be drilled in the actual
process OF striking out the names they
do not wish TO vote on election tickets
printed under the Walton law.
We have heard OF this plan more than
once before. II is based upon the BELIEF
that I'm no district will there DO more
than two or three candidates for Congress.
ana that II will be no very difficult mat
ter for an initerate voter to be taught
10 Identify the name OF the candidate
for whom he wishes 10 vote, " case he
does not care TO ask the assistance OF
the special constable provided by law, and
who IS the only person authorized TO go
into n booth 10 assist an inlterate.
The Tribune urges Republican commit
tees ito enroll these iliiterates;
assign them In squads TO com
petent and reliable teachers; have
regular school hours. with tenn
norate refreshments. II thought or found
desirable: and provide the printed and
other material for the work fully, so
mat the teaching and drill shall certainly
MAKE the learners competent to tackle
the actual ballots on elect'on-day, WITH
on, the superserviceable aid of the Demo-
cratic constable"
Tammany found II necessary to establish
schools OF instruction In New York ci'y
when the Australian ballot law went
into operation there. But IL would seem
that If such simple expedient would
enable the Republicans TO qualify all or
their voters to vote without asking heip
from the sworn officer OF the law the
Walton act does not deserve the abuse
heapei upon it by the enemies OF our
party.
II docs not yet appear whether the Re-
nublicans intend to test the CONSTITUTIONS
NV Of the Walton law before the Supreme
Court OF Appeals. but we shall soon Know
nc that court meets at Stanton on the
10Th instant.
Ma matter whether our election taxes

To many 1t has long been deep regret
that access 10 this great fountain OF
knowledge has hitherto been so restricted.
II could be approached only from o'clock

hours when fewest people could avalI
themselves OF the advantages offered.

have been reasons for these hindrances 10

These reasons have been mainly two-U)
absence Of arrangements for lighting the
hall has made night hours an impossi-
bilty, and ~ the State could scarcely be
expected TO assume the expense of longer
and more convenient hours when the
benefits accruing would be enjoyed almost
exclusively by the people of Richmond.
In our deprivation we have had one
comfort which has helped us to be re-
conciled. IT has been the hope that when
the new library building was completed

nicely shelved i'm the commodious and
