s,r.ct.CIcnning I'm Richmond.

The condition Of our principal streets
at times makes us wish that the city
would employ a larger street-cieaning
force.
Those portions OF Main and Broad
streets which are most frequented by our
people and by strangers ought TO be
kent neater and cleaner than they are
now kept. They ought to be swept every
night. Less work than this viii not avail
IN keen them in such order as will 90 US
credit.
And there ought to be more stringent
laws than we now have to prohibit store
keepers and others from sweeping scraps
Of naper. etc. into the street. This IL a
paper age. Paper is not only abundant.
but vastly superintendent, and much
of II finds It's way TO the sidewalks and
cutters. This Is not only so here In
Richmond. but In most Of the cities Of the
land. and many municipalities have legis-
lated against the evil. In time we. too
shall have to do likewise.
We wish that public interest in the
subject OF street cleaning could be more
largely developed.
with a proper public sentiment demand

10 secure a new street-sweeper and set

The New York Sun says 1t is interest
ing TO remember that the Hon. W. c.
whitney might have been Secretary of
State at the present time had he consent
ed to occupy that post. Why interesting?
Because Mr.. Whitney in a recent dis
patch from Naples to the New York
Times said of the Alliance affair:
ut IS a case of wilful insult TO the
American flag and people.
II DO not recall so wanton an outrage
as happening to any flrst-class power In
fifty years. An apology scarcely wipes
out such an affront"

On the other hand, II Mr.. Whitney had
accepted the office of Secretary OF State.
he would have been bound 10 stand by
the administration as long as he was
a member of the Cabinet.
However, Mr.. Whitneys sagacity and
foresight are evident in his cablegram
to the Times. He stands before the peo-
pie as a candidate for President OF the
United States on the lingo platform,
which he prepared for the Times. He is
stronger now than ever before. but his
rivals will not cease to try 10 trip him.

CASES IN YORK COURT.
Verdicts of "Not Guilty" in the Page
and the Rioters Cnses-Polisicnl.


WILLIAMSBURG. VA. March o.
Special York court, which has been In
session since Monday, adjourned to-day.
Among the important cases disposed or
was the charge Of larceny against Captain
George Gage. The Captain, who resides
in Bruton District. in the upper portion
of the county, was charged with stealing
a boat. At IL o'clock last night the jury
returned a verdict Of not guilty. The
accused was ably defended by Judge r. j..
Henley and Robert T. Armistead. The
parties from here charged with rioting
in York several months ago were given
a hearing at this term and acquitted,
the jury being out only few minutes.
All during this term Of the court the
crowd in attendance was unusually large
for this time Of year, when the farmers
and oystermen are busy.
The good people of ye ancient capital
Chose interested are stirred up to-day
over the news from "Jeemes City" that
it is the intention of the Democratic
voters Of that ancient section 10 take
unto themselves in the coming county
convention all three OF the Offices

leave the town and lower portion OF the
county entirely out. The town wants one
Of the three Offices. and must have It.

Tcau,0h the Great.

The peculiar modesty OF Teamoh, Of
our modern Athens. Is exhibited in the
card which was telegrapheG US from Bos-
ton, and which we published yesterday.
In that card Teamoh and five other MEM
bers of that committee certify that GER
tain interviews given out by Chairman
Darling are correct, and that Teamoh's
company was in every way pleasant
and agreeable to all" In other words.
Teamoh certihes chat his fellow-commIt-
teemen were we'll pleased with Teamoh
on the southern trip!
Notwithstanding this rather unusual
certificate, It is a perfectly indisputabte
fact that Mr.. Darling and others, If not
all. Of the committee from Massachu-
sets, In speaking to Richmonders of the
presence OF Teamoh, expressed their pro-
found disgust that they had to take him
along with them.
Mr.. Darling and several Of his asso-
clates have one way OF talking in Boston
and another in Richmond.

A virginia Authorizes.

To the Editor OF the DlSpdbIHs
have Just finished reading book
from the pen OF a Virginia authoress'
Mrs. Fosdick, whose maiden name-Ger-
trude Christian--is familiar 10 many OF
US. Il IS, indeed a pleasure now, when
so many literary efforts tend toward the
blase and border on the impure, TO real
such an exquisite little story as out OF
Rohemla; or. Student Life In Paris,
which is the title OF Mrs. FOsdicks book.
1t is pure, refined, pleasant; no great
network or plot, or pedantic moraliz.ng,
but Just the handling Of an interesting
subject with knowledge. Mrs. Fosdick
spent several years in Paris studying art,
and thus gained all the data necessary.
I am proud of Virginia, her sons and
daughters. | wish this new authoress
eminent success I'm literary life. May
she and all those who follow In her foot
stems rank with those who have already
gained reputation ard won high honors
in the literary world. Mrs. FOsdick is
the youngest daughter Of Judge Joseph
Christian, formerly OF the Supreme Court
OF Appeals OF Virg mia. She and her hus-
band now reside in New York. u. l.. J.

Mr.. Depeyy on the Income-Tax.

We said the other day that we ex-
pected the Supreme Court of the United
States TO decide the income-tax case in
favor Of the government, the courts being
always inclined TO side with the govern
ment. On this point. Chauncey Depew
said a few days ago:
THE arguments were mastery and un-
answerable. Despite this, | am afraid
that they are useless. II you search the
records OF the courts you will find that
in every case where tax law Is involved
the court invariably decides against those
who combat the law. The government
must have the money, and no natter
how defective the law. the court upholds
it with a pathetic fidelity that is touch
ing"
Then 1t is simply case of judicial
bigotry?" was suggested
NO" said Mr.. Depew. that IS hardly
an adequate expression. and s1vors OF
contempt OF court; rather say that 1t is
a case OF judicial loyalty to the Urea
sury."

MIR. PafIeSOn'a Letter.

The letter of S. S. +. Patteson. Esq, of
this city. reproduced by US yesterday from
the New York Herald. conveys to US the
impression that he is a bimetGllst. though
he does not say SO In so many words.
He expresses, however, his belief that
majority of the people Of the United
States are bimeuallists, and that the
monetary question is far more important
than the tariff. He protests, too, as he
had abundant occasion 10 do against the
assumption of the monometallists that
the bmetallists are uniformed theorists.
who know nothing of the subject which
they undertake to discuss IN their bimetal-
lie lucubrations. He quotes Greshams
law, but states 1t little too broadly,
we think. Want of confidence Is at the
bottom Of our business matters. says
Mr.. Patteson. He' adds that our people
favor strictly honest dollars. but they
want more of them.
Mr.. Patteson says 1t Is certain that
until this monetary question Is settled,
there can be no permanent prosperity.
He Is not mistaken as 10 that point.
As 70 whether 1t Is possible to free the
United States from foreign financial prob
lens, Is another question We think
not The world has become too small
for the people Of any one country. how
ever large or however small 1t may be.

mercial nations now is to provide for
new international bimetall!c conference.

sort ought TO be entered into whereby
silver and god would become the worlds
money. That Is to say, the parity be-
