lice guard has been stationed at the
north end of the Long Bridge; in "or-
der to stop the tide of criminals and
thugs who daily find their way from
Jackson City to Washington by way of
that bridge" 1t then mentions the ar
rest of four men as the result of one
nights work of that guard; but, accord
ing to its own account, three of those
four, instead of coming from Jackson
City, we're going to it. Yes, and many
criminal and thug found at Jackson
City comes from and lives in Washing

would arrest them there and if there
were whipping post there at which they
would be logged, Alexandria county
would be as law-abiding and orderly as
any other county in any State, and a
great deal more so than many of them.

To SHOOT THE FALLs.-A dispatch
from Niagara Falls, N. Y, says since
Monday night stoutly-built stranger,
apparently not far from thirty-fve
years of age, has been stopping at the
hotel at Echota and employing large
portion of his time in wandering along
the banks of the river between that
suburb and the city, evidently engaged
in studying the currents.
The man is registered as Meredith,
of Cincinnati" but it is said that he is
none other than Meredith Stanley, the
Ohio bridge jumper, who recently an
nounced his intention of shooting the
great cataract in barrel. If the
stranger is really Stanley, and he does
not back out of his proposed under
taking, it is probable that he will make
the trip within the next twenty-four
hours.

ABOUT NEWSPAPERS.

The Petersburg Inder-Appeal, in
commenting on the recent collapse of a
little afternoon paper in that city, says !:
Paradoxical as it may seem, the facilities
for publishing cheap paper are creator now
than ever before, while, on the other hand,
the cost of publishing an up.to.date news
paper in the real sense of the term e greater
than it ever was before. Paper is cheap, and
SO is ink, and boiler plate matter and patent
ou.sides may be had almost for the asking.
Thus equipped and with the aid OF pair Of
scissors, almost any body not an illiterate OF
an imbecile might print and circulate paper.
Fostered by the conditions we have described,
these fake publications are multiplying all
over the country, and they draw a precarious
existence from the gullibility of that class OF
advertisers with whom cheapness takes pre-.
cedence of quality. Thoy are blight on the
legitimate business of newspaper publishing,
because they impose competition on such un-
equal terms that no real newspaper can meet
it. Well meaning people who patronize such
enterprises merely to help them along" are
unconsc!ously doing their community harm
They impair the chances of Improvement in
the better class of papers which they do not
patronize, and they lower the. newspaper
standard to the level of that poorer class
which, through mistaken iberality, they do
patronize One good newspaper is Of more
value to community than dozen poor ones.
These are the words of wisdom and
experience and every newspaper man
fully appreciates their meaning. But
they will be lost on the general public.
The newspaper field is source of
constant temptation to those who know
nothing about it. The inexperienced
man has an idea that town of twenty
thousand inhabitants will easily de-
velop half that number of readers. But
the experienced man knows that in
southern towns of that size a large per-
centage must be wiped off for negroes,
and that of the remainder one SUBJ
scriber out of eight people is good
average.
When it is remembered that some
people do not read at all and that for
every paper paid for there are several
readers, the force of this statement will
be appreciated.
Another idea which the experienced
have is that newspaper property con.
sists of printing press, an outfit of
type and roll of white paper. That
is their great mistake. A newspaper
property consists of its established pa
tronage. Whenever that is sufficient to
pay expenses and leave good margin
of profit, the property is safe and val
liable. When that is not the case, it is
worse than worthless-as some know to
their sorrow.
AS our contemporary observes, print
ing presses, type and white paper were
never cheaper than now and are al
ways to be had for the money. But es-
tablished patronage was never 80 dear,
by which we mean to say that there
never was time when it cost so much
to establish newspaper, or to main.
tain one already established Richmond
State.

RAILROAD RUMoRs.-The Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley Railroad of North
Carolina is to be sold under for
closure of mortgage at an early date.
There are reasons for entertaining the
belief that the road will be purchased
by the Southern. This purchase would
place the Southern in the position to
compete with the Seaboard Air Line
and the Atlantic Coast Line roads for
traffic in some of the most productive
parts of North Carolina.
There is also rumor to the effect
that the Norfolk and Western would
also like to purchase this road, but the
chances are if it is purchased by any of
the large syndicates at all it will pass
into control of the Southern. The Bal
timore and Ohio have also their eye on
the road. Should it be purchased
by the latter system it would be neces.
sary for that company to build a new
road from Lexington, Va, to Mt. Airy,
the western terminus of the Cape Fear
and Yadkin Valley road. The B. & 0.
could also build from Lexington to
Winston or Salem. and there make
connection with the Cape Fear and
Yadkin Valley road.

INTELLIGENCE from various sections
of the State is to the effect that it is we'll
for the democrats that the republicans
will not make much of fight against
them at the election next month, as,
were it otherwise, they might be left in
the vocative, for the average Virginia
political worker, no matter how
different it may have been in
former times, is now no better
than his fellow worker in any Of
the other States, and as the democratic
Presidents civil service rules prohibit
the recognition of political service by
those benefited by such service, the
object of rendering it has been abolish
ed. Patriotism and the general good
have long since ceased to have any in
fuence upon the majority of political
workers. Sad, but true.
