In the oIden times Richmond had the
sdog-catchers," who went out once OF
twice a year and netted and killed oil
the unlicensed dogs found at large. These
valuable public servants are no longer
employed: why. we know not. Certainly
In their day they performed good service.
Now Richmond IL much afflicted with
shabby-looking ours, which disngure ouI
streets in the daytime. and Mt night se'
Nd hideous howls, much 70 the discom'
fort of people who adhere to the an
cient opinion that the night IL the time
for rest. And AZ yet we have been I'M
able to learn that the howl OF licensed
dog Is any less disagreeable than the
howl OF an unlicensed dog.
AS to hydrophobia. our people have III
tie fear. Our physicians know OF no case
of hydrophobia that has occurred mere
within half al censury--or within the
history of the city. for that matter. SUI.
though hydrophobia is disease OF gre"'
rarity. we may have II here as wen as
at Salem, and this view affords an add
tIonal reason why we should dispose VI
some OF our surplus dog population.

Tho NIGHTMARE on Business.

II the members of the United states
Serate. one and all, could truly reai%e
what n strain there is on BUSINESSMEN
and how many workmen have niue VI
no employment. they would be wiii'hs u
make sacrifices of personal convenience
and comfort to hasten action on inc
tariff bill. They have agreed, Tor 'he
nresent. 10 give four hours n day 10
the consideration Of this subject, but that
isn't half enough time.
II is inconceivable that all or them
understand the condition Of the country
II they did they would be willing to alb
breviate their speeches and hold sessions
NJ eight or ten hours in length. ms
course would impose no more hardship
upon senator's than delay Is imposing
unon the average businessman, ana
would shorten by many days the period
Of unrest and distress.
Manufacturers of lines Of goods anected
by the pending bill are carrying heapinG
loads of care and responsibility while
senators are coming and delivering their
speeches, and holding sessions Of a few
hours per day.
II seems to be considered n great
achievement that an agreement has been
reached that four hours n day shall be
given TO this measure. Meantime work
men by the thousands are getting nearer
and nearer TO that point where they VIII
have TO become objects Of public charity
What is to be done should be promptly
done. The country is perfectly content
for the Senate to put the tariff bill in any
shane which in its wisdom 1t may decide
to be best, but it does - for prompt
ness. Any sort Of tariff t.n likely 10 be
passed will be better than continued de-
Iay-delay which Is costing these United
States millions and millions OF dollars,
and is dsheartening to capitalists and
workmen alike.
There can be no very marked improve
ment in general business until the tariff
question has been finally disposed of.
The people are growing more and more
impatient at delay. The spring is now
upon u.s. and business ought TO be very
active-and would be very active-if the
tariff discussion were behind US instead Of
before us.
If all the senator's could but know how
this delay is affecting business they
would be willing to cut short their
speeches and hold day and night sessions
until the bill Is out Of their hands.
Vice-President Stevenson is everywhere
mentioned as u popular candidate for
the presidency; but this present popu-
larity is as nothing compared to what
his popularity would lie could he be in
strumental in Fastening the passage Of the
tariff bill. removing the dreadful night
mare which now holds SO many business
interests In its smothering embrace.

WYTHEVILLE, VA, April u.-tSpe-

attended County Court on Monday. and
the streets presented lively appearance.
Rev. Mr. Harrison. OF Glade Spring,
who was expected to preach the dedica-
tory sermon on the occasion OF the dedi-
cation OF the new Baptist church on
Church street. was not able to he pres
ent so that the pastor. Mr.. Mitchell, as
sisted by the several ministers OF Wythe-
willie, conducted the service last Sun
day afternoon at o'clock. The COM
Portable and attractive church was
crowded, and the service was impressive
and interesting.
A fine rain, which was much needed,
has fallen since last night, and the grass
burned by the recent freeze already looks
fresh and green again.
Eggs are selling at 13 cents dozen,

The Ten Per Cent, Tax,


Exactly I02 Democratic members OF the
House Of Representatives were present
on Tuesday night at the caucus held TO
pass upon the proposition to abolish the
Federal tax Of 10 per cent. upon the issues
Of State banks. SO says the telegram
from Washington in yesterdays papers.
Inasmuch as there are 2lS Democrats in
the House OF Representatives, 1t follows
that the caucus was q minority caucus.
We suppose that the presence Of a ma
jority OF the Democratic members of the
House of Representatives Is necessary in
order to action binding upon all the
Democrats.
Mr.. Rayner, Of Maryland. had made 1t
known beforehand that he would not
consider himself bound by the action of
the caucus. and would not attend its
meeting. He had also said that the
eastern and northern members Of the
House would absent themselves. How
ever, as II requires. we take IL, a MAORI
ty OF the Democrats In the House Of
Representatives to constitute quorum
authorized to take steps to control the
action of the Democrats in that body,
and there were only 102 Democrats in
the caucus, whilst 11s absented them
selves. we do not understand that Mr..
Rayner or anybody else is bound by the
action Of the caucus.
Persons who are apprehensive Of the
debasement and Standardization Of the
present excellent paper-currency may dis
miss their fears In this behalf. And for
several reasons. First, the Senate will
never consent to pass any such measure.
Second. the President will not approve
the repeal IL bill Is sent to him which
does not provide for Federal supervision
OF the new banking system and of the
Issues OF all State hanks. Third, when
the tariff bill shall have been passed by
Congress and become law. the members
will forthwith HE them to their homes
to look after their fences. Fourth. the
advocates Of the proposition to abolish
the 10 per cent. tax would not raise a
ringer to secure the success of that
scheme II the banking system which
they desire to substitute for the existing
one shall keep the banks and their cir
cnlating notes under strict control by

Mrs. Witherby as a Guest.

Mrs. Witherby was torn with doubt and
harassed almost To the verge of insanity be-
fore she could make up her mind to 90.
"Oh. Haroldr' she exclaimed TO her hus-
band, "if anything should happen to the baby
while was away should diel''
What could happen to the baby, Eva?'' re-
piled young Mr.. Witherby, practically. Here
is my mother in the house, sworn to care for
Hal without disturbing discipline. Here's
the nurse, who is = jewel, as you never weary
OF saying, and who has had a lot more expe-
rience with babies than you. And DR.. Win

you assured me on your word of honor that
you wouldn't become one OF those imbecIle
mothers who can't get away from the nursery?
Isn't it your very best friend who IS getting

fully sacrifice anything for her? And now
look at you!
Harold. you are right We will 60" said
Mrs. Mitherby, with decision.
4Eey set out lOr Boston that morning. On
the Way up Mrs. Witherby declined TO eat her
luncheon ana drank hot tea in great gulps
meant 10 counteract desire TO sob. Mr..
Witherby watched her with anxiety.
Eva, dearest, he said. you are unhappy:
sou are Astrung. But don't feel so, NV
darling. know you care devotedly for
Emma. but you are not going to lose her
friendship just because she marries'
Emma! Her iriendshipi' exclaimed Mrs.
Withcrby, suddenly beginning TO sob. You
un-un-natural ia-a-a-therl How could
you think was thinking of anything but nv
my pre-precious baby?"
Mrs Wltherbys travelling companions
looked at her with interest. and when her
husband betook himselfto the smoking-car.
as he did soon, one woman came forward to
her chair and said:
Pardon me for seeming to intrude, but l
saw your grief and heard what you said
about your baby. know What you are suffer-
ing. !. too. have lost child"
Mrs Mitherby managed TO convince the
sympathetic soul that their griels were not
the same. But the dreadful thought stayed
with her. She was white and hollow-eyed by
the tine she reached her friend Emma's. She
