Now for Uosluess.

What are you newspaper-people go
ing to write about now that Congress
has adjourned?" II question fire.
quently asked OF editors. correspondents.
reporters. etc.
II seems generally supposed tina! about
IS per cent. OF the average newspapers
space Is filed with matter pertaining
to Congress, and that with Congress
gone the bottom will drop out OF the
erroneous. Congress Is not accorded as
much space as people think II Is; nor
will Congress be missed 50 very much.
And before Congress Is fairly out OF
sight we shall have the spring elections
upon us. They will hardly b. over before
watering place letters will be trans
fixing our attention. And next we shall
have the Virginia Legislative campaign
a campaign which IL going to be unique
and interesting. in which we shall see
Republicans. ProhibiIionists. Populists.
and Kicking" Democrats united to over
throw our party and TO seize the patron
age OF our State Government.
SO. OF politics. we shall have an average
years share during 1885, and there is
other very important work to be done.
With our United States bonds selling
at home and abroad at about 100. we
may rest satisfied that our country has
not yet gone to the dem. bowwows
For aught that we can see TO the con-
trary, II is a. country still worth dying
for and turning penny In. II there
is any better country for the average
son of toll to make a livelihood In we
wish some constant reader" OF ours
wouul send US postal-oard stating
whereabout 1t Is to be found on the map;
also. a statement Of what Is the price of
n railroad or steamboat ticket thither.
The odds are that most of us are
going to spend the remainder of our
lives in these United States. So let's
make the best of the situation. Let's
cease regretting that we were not men,
bers of the Fifty-thrd Congress. and
home. Let's cease blaming the Demo
Gratis for every sort OF thing. and query
our own minds whether any action of
Congress of the late session could have
raised the price of wheat. tobacco, and
cotton. What is really wanted TO boom
business Is q great demand at Liverpool
and London for wheat, cotton, and to-
bacco at % or 90 per cent advance or
present prices.
We expect to see a steady improvement
in business right straight along now.
Before we know 1t, business may be
fairly under way again. Some bright day
in the near future we shall be, perhaps.

How silly.

a number of old veterans In Virginia
seem TO prefer 10 have the battlefield at
Appomattox remain n waste place"
rather than see 1t embellished for "the
pleasure of northern tourists" Indepen-
dent Of the prejudice against the park
which has recently developed. we con-
fess that the movement appeared to us as
quite proper and worthy of endorsement.
Our opinion was formed from a practical
view OF the question only. as between
Appomattox unimproved and Appomattox
rendered beautiful and attractive.-Char-
lottesville Progress.
We have noted the dyspeptic remarks
OF the Alexandria Gazette and have heard
OF the childish opposition from some
sources to making beautiful park at
Appomattox. We cannot conceive OF a
healthy, clear-headed and honest hearted
Confederate veteran raising protest
against the movement There Ia no hui
initiation for the Confederate soldier In
the surrender OF Lees army. On the con-
trary. the glory Of his service and immor-
tai record OF his patriotism is there just
as much as that of the Federal soldier Is.
There is al much for the South as for the
North In these memorial places, and we
think our friends are greatly mistaken
when they Geprecate the work OF making
these parks. Do We wish TO bury and for
get the deeds OF valor and the history OF
our struggle? Surely not. Go on with
the park project 1t Is good. To oppose

that war existed by the act Of Mexico

by taking on a large slice from Mexico.

Tho friends IN this country OF the re-
public In Hawaii cannot but feel a deep
interest in the fate OF the persons who
in Honolulu have been tried there and
found guilty OF the several offences
wherewith they were charged. That
the powerful government of the United
States was behind the enemies of the
deposed Queen was no doubt the uni
versal belief Of the parties on both Sides
Mn Cleveland has not been regarded as
particularly friendly to any Of the Ha-
waiian schemes. but he has hitherto held
his peace and has also withheld his en-
dorsement OF what he did not like in
the conduct Of the persons who over
turned the Queens government. How he
stands a; 'ected now we cannot say; but
We hava no doubt that he dislikes very
much the trials OF various citizens for
grimes Of one description and another.
They remind one of the old saying that
children ought not to be allowed 10 play
with edged tools.
We expect President Cleveland TO be
exceedingly restless until these irregular
bfSSecuiuko Oh tuS uttto fcpuDitC III tue
Pacific shall have come to an end. He
was not at any time over-friendly to the
new republic. at least SO II was sup
posed. and these last proceedings OF the
"fevoiutionists." as they used to be
called. cannot commend item to his
favor.
However there may be and doubtless is
tceA -
Gil the proceedings against the enemies
" the new republic. We can't think that
these long sentences are expected to be
executed. Thirty-ave years Of imprison-

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
wish TO enter a protest against the
rule prevailing at the present time OF
giving the children attending the gram
mar schools recess OF only fifteen MN
u;es. The time is entirely too short, ana
is likely to be injurious To their heaith.
can speak with certainty In regard 10
my child 90 years old attending Beivl-
d.re school who complains that CHE Is
hardly able TO attend to her lessons In
the afternoon, because she has not nld
time to eat her lunch on account OF the
noon recess being so short. In the hrst

is too unpleasant for them 10 play CUT,

duties Of the afternoon.
Another thing that is reprehenslble
Is the crowded condition of the schools
and especially, the High School. such
state OF affairs as exists In that insti-
tuition at the present time Is anything
but creditabie to city the size or Rich-
mond. My son is in the Junior A class.
High School, which numbers forty-eisht
pupils, and they are literally packed
after the style OF the familiar sardine
into a small room, that becomes no.
thing more than box from Its lack OF
size. for it's human contents and male

der our Junior AS and BIS" come home
with headaches and disordered stomachs
after breathing such a vitiated atmos-
phere for five or six hours. What we
urgently need for the accommodation of
our children are more schools and we'll
built ones, with improved methods OF
ventilation. and let the good city OF Rich
mond provide two high schools-one In
the West, the other In the East End OF
the city. I suggest that the health OFF,
Ger, building inspector. and school d.
rectors visit Din body Bellevue School
and the High School.
If the people OF Richmond will only
bestir themselves with a little western
vigor, SO that they may be considered
"up to date" they will get what they
neel for the benefit OF their children,
so that the latter may vie with their
fellow-students in younger cities OF the
North and West.
agree in the opinion OF many eminent
physicians that all children should have
an hour at least at noon for lunch and
recreation.
