Catholic Church is well able TO stand

PAUSE ANO CONSIDER

we print in another column a letter
signed "Ex-Councilman." discussing the
ability of the city to undertake the cree
ton of an electric light plant at this
time. We have not gone over the Ali-
ditor's report to verify "Ex-Council-
mans" figures. because he is an ex-
perienced man in matters of this sort,
and we assume he has stated the case
correctly.
This being so. how foolish in this city
to undertake tho erection of an electric
plant at this time. In vain is the net
spread in the sight of any bird Nainly
does Mr.. Glover tell us that he will pay
eff the $4,000 OF bonds he is going to
sell to build the plant out of the city's
annual revenues. When Richmond puts
out her bonds She looks on the case as
Mr.. Micawber did: Il will make it right
between man and mani will give my
note for it," When Richmond once puts
out her bonds. they are there to stay.
She will take enough out of the annual
revenues that Mr.. Glover intends to pay
the bonds off with to pay interest upon
them and the heelers and ward bummers
will find use for the rest.
But If the city were ten times as able
TO undertake this thing as she is now I'M
able to do it, it would be fcly and mad
ness in her TO construct an electric plant
in the present state of electrical develop
ment. We are barely upon the threshold of
the science of electricity. our processes
for controlling the force are all crude,
and may all be superseded any day. The
case is not like those of steam and gas.
We know much more about these. we
know their capabilities. and how =
direct them as we wish. But we know
so far so little OF electricity that. won

Commonwealth sent circular to adj the
electoral boards in the state. containing
the At,orney-Grnerars opinion. the Dis
patch used this language:
The very circular from the secretary
| of the Commonw ealth which informed
| the officers OF election that separate
| ballot-box would be required Tor the con.
| s.itutional amendment ballots contained
| the ahovo mated opinfon OF the Attorney
| General az TO the arrangement OF names
| on the tickets. and this circular was sent
| ont from the Secretary's ONCE IN que
! course of business. and along with otner
matter intended for the guidance of cleo
| toral boards.
.Tntended for the guidance OF electoral
boards " VIII the Dispatch point out the
substantial difference between sending
out a circular INTENDED for the guidance
of the electoral boards" and one intended
TO advise them TO pursue a certain
course? The only difference is between
a command and advice. So. on the Dis
patch's authority. we change the lam
guage TO commander the electoral
boards TO alternate names on the ballots.
The Dispatch confesses itself unable to
point out any law authorizing the Sec
rotary of the Commonwealth 10 send out
this circular. and The Times can find
none. The very act itself, OF printing
number OF ballots at each precinct with
the location of the names changed on
each was through this alleged circular
and the obedient action of the electoral
10 taf MI no faf Of
einia in the attitude Of practicing a trick
upon her own voters and If it was, as the
Dispatch says. IL was injurious 10 her
good name and fair fame. If the Secre-
tary Of the Commonwealth has done this
thing. IL has been done, so far as we
can make out. without authority of law
for II. and We think there are many
Democratic voters who would like to
know more about the matter.
We are compelled again to remind the
Dispatch that as we know nothing about
these matters. we have to rely upon 1t
for all our information respecting that
opinion of the Attorney-General which,
it says, was given to tho Secretary OF
the Commonwealth. But as the Dispatch
quotes it. the Attorncy-General only ad-
viscd that the ballot law prescribes no
order or arrangement for the names of
candidates upon the ballot" There is not
n word here Of alternating names. This
means that the electoral boards may put
the names on the ballot in any order that
suits them, but il does not suggest that
they may print more than one ballot at
each precinct. There is no sort of in
consistency between this and the Attor-
ney-Gencral's opinion published by us
last Saturday. in which ne advised that
there could be but one ballot at each
precinct
Why does not the Dispatch print that
circular and the opinion of the Attor-
ney-General? Send them to us and we
will print them. The Dispatch is deep
in the counsels Of the party" and can
get copies Of these documents. The Times
ought to be deep in the counsels of the
party but it has never yet seen any
Such circular or opinion.

THE MEANING OF LIFE.

The following is from the Washington
Post of yesterday:
Rev. j. Y. Fair pastor Of the Grace
Street church in Richmond, preached an
eloquent sermon at w-Hork-Avenue
Presbyterian church last evening, on the
meaning OF life. He chose his text from
the fourth chapter OF James, the four
teenth verse. and declared that II Is i'm
possible 10 paint i'm colors the meaning
of this exis Passing in review the
opinions OF different persons as 10 the
aims and grand results OF this life DR..
Fair held that there was, after all, but
one view. and that the one expounded In
the Scriptures.
Much OF the sermon was aimed against
the reasoning OF material SITS who call life,
as DR.. Fair explained II, the result OF
animal organism. making man an animal
OF superior order to perish like a little
nower by the wayside. He also spoke OF
