PRESS COMMENTS.
EngIand's Roast Reef.

Whence comes the meat we eat? The
suburban butcher will tell you that it is
all home killed, if not home fed; the
domestic cynic that Welsh mutton COM
monty browses on Australian plains, and
that Scotch beef loses half its virtue be-
cause of the voyage across the Atlantic.
The truth, as usual, lies between; and if
one had happened on the society of arts
in session last night one would have
learned some interesting facts from Mr..
E. Montague Nelson as to this more than
ordinarily interesting subject. quarter
of century ago it struck people that the
united kingdom could not grow enough
meat to feed her population, which, by
the way, it may be said, eats more than
twice as much meat as any alien people.
AS usual, committee was appointed,
and it sat until 1870 without arriving at
any definite conclusion. At this time
America was exporting to the united
kingdom large quantity of live stock,
besides profusion of timed meat, while
two years later the trade in chilled beef
was started, and gradually grew until, in
1894, it reached 100000 tons. In 1880 the
Australian colonies began to be a factor
in the question of supply. Early in that
year the first shipment Of frozen NEE
was made, and the trade has since a
tanned huge proportions. In all, 26,00O
600 frozen sheep and lambs have come tt
our shores, of which New Zealand has
supplied 100000, Australia 100000,
the River Platte 100000, and the Falk-
land Islands 100000. In the early stage
of the business freight from Australia was
215d. per pound; it is now ID, and fair
profit will be made at this figure. There
are now over eighty ships engaged in the
trade, with carrying capacity of about
| 100000 carcasses. Experiments are
now being made in the shipment of. live
cattle from Australia, and the trials al
ready completed are sufficient to prove
that they can be carried the long sea
voyage without loss of condition. 1t is
| probable, therefore, that before long a
large trade in this direction will be con-
Quoted. The annual consumption OF
meat in the united kingdom is some q
100000 tons, about two-thirds of which is
home grown, and the latter amount has
doubled in the last ten years. 1t is com.
puted that, in addition to the supplies OF
live stock to the metropolitan markets
Smithfield alone provided in a year 13(
pounds of meat for every man, woman
and child within fifteen miles of Charing
Cross, or weekly consumption Of
twenty-four pounds for every family;an
of 100 pounds, about twenty-five pounds
are American beef, and nearly thirty
pound foreign mutton or beef. Mr.
Nelson thinks that the British farmer il
entitled to equal consideration whether
he happens to reside in New Zealand OF
Australia, or in Kent or Sussex. Ant

Rio Grande In New Mexico.

In the event that the Texas and Santa
Fe g. Northern railroad is sold to the Dem
yer e. Rio Grande the latter company
will have terminus at Santa Fe instead
of at Espanola, and consequently it will
in New Mexico business.
The original plan of General Palmer
when he started the Rio Grande WAS to
build through New Mexico to Ell Paso and
thence along the line now occupied by
the Mexican Central to the City of Mex
leo. That purpose was defeated by the
AGO uisltion of the Mexican Central con-
cession by persons interested in the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, and so
General Palmer turned aside into the
mountains and the Rio Grande became
distinctively Colorado road.
There is little doubt that there would
be profit in return to the old plan in
some respects. In other words, it would
be wise for the Rio Grande to construct
a system of lines in New Mexico which
would connect it with number of i'm.
portant points in that territory. 1t would
be practicable to take from the Santa
Fe road large share of the business
coming north over the Mexican Central
as we'll as part of that which reaches
the interior of Mexico from the United
States by the same line. There are sew
eral towns in New Mexico which could
be connected with Denver by q line ex
tended down the Rio Grande valley either
by way of Santa Fe or straight down the
river from Espanola.
For years the people OF New Mexico
have hoped for the coming of the Ric
Grande, but the management of that
company has not looked with favor upor
propositions to build into that territory
beyond Espanola, which for about four
teen years has been the southern termi
nus of the system. There, however
would not be much expense attending thu
extension of the Rio Grande to the south
ern border of the territory, and also te
several mining camps on either side Of
what would be the main line. Such ar
extension would add largely to the traf
fc of the company, while at the same
time it would connect this city with {
part of the southwest from which it is al
most cut off by the policy which tn.

Socfnl Equality In New York.

Among the acts of the New York Legis-
allure which became laws Saturday by
-eceivng the signature Of Governor Nor
ton was one providing that all persons
within the Jurisdiction OF the State shall
be entitled to the full and equal accom-
nodations. advantages, facilities, and
privileges of inns. restaurants, hotels,
Eating houses, lighthouses. barber-shops,
theatres. music halls, public conveyances
on land and water, and all other places
of public accommodation and amusement.

tations established by law and applicable
alike 20 all citizens. Violations Of the
law subject the offenders to heavy pen
alties.
Sunday three negroes-one OF them the
Trainer Of the act-made the rounds of
number Of the leading restaurants. hotels,
and lighthouses OF New York in order
10 test the law. The three testers had
a varied experience. In some OF the es-
Establishments they visited the proprietors,
clerks and walters were deaf, dumb. and
blind. and the negroes were completely
frozen out. In others they were refused
service point blank, but In others, still,
they were accommodated. The Herald
says that at Delmonico's the trio were
served without murmur, and the other
guests who were In the dining-room at the
tine seemed TO DO amused at the episode.
At the Continental. however, when the
testers filed in party OF six guests
withdrew In high dudgeon.
The Trainer of the law threatens to
institute legal proceedings against all the
establishments at which ne and his two
companions were refused service. and.
according TO the Herald, the testing CAM
paisn was to have been continued yester.
day.
There can hardly be a question. how
ever. as TO what will be- the end of the
campaign. when tho people Of New York

Mortified, Mass, reports a case OF
holding hands for eighteen hours on a
stretch, and the man in the case says
he was not hypnotzed by the lady, either.
1t was this way: The couple were in
Warwick, a small town near Mortified,
one evening last week. when the lady
challenged the gentleman, asserting that
with the assistance OF Christian Science
she could demonstrate that her will was
stronger than his. He accepted. and they
clasped hands, it being understood that
the one that first unclasped was TO be
vanquished-and the clasp was broken
only after eighteen hours, and then only
by force. Friends watched the couple
until signs OF mental disturbance were
shown. and. after they had been repeated
ly entreated to desst to no avail they
were separated by main force.

Terminal Company on December is. 1870,
and that President Spencer had sub
mitted 10 the Board OF Directors OF the
Southern railway the plans he has made
for securing an entrance into the city
Of Norfolk. confirms the rumors that
there IS something more in store for this
harbor than a traffic alliance between
the Atlantic-Coa Line and the Southern
Railway. and demonstrates beyond ques-
ton in the minds OF those informed that
the plans OF President Spencer were APP
proved at the meeting Of the directors
on Friday. and that the deep water ter

The pnper-Lftfcr Nuisance.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
/ suppose there Is no remedy for the
paper-trash nuisance on our business
streets What Is the use Of store-keepers
sweeping the pavements when any one
has the right TO scatter broadcast thou
sands OF dodgers which disgust, but are
not read. Let US stop sweeping. stop
sprInlling. stop trying TO keep clean.
and turn everything over TO the dodger.
which covers the streets. pavements.
and stores OF Main and Broad streets.
Circus villages submit TO this nuisance;
wide awake cities, never. l..
There is no street in Richmond kept as
clean as it ought to be. Were 1t not for
the relief that sweeping rains bring us.
Richmond would soon have a bad name
because Of unclean streets.
BY this we do not mean streets which
are unclean to the point Of unhealthful-
ness; but unclean by reason of the fact
that the Board of Health is inadequately
supplied with men and machines to sweep
them as often as they need sweeping,
and hence waste paper, horse manure,
etc. are not removed every day. as they
should be.
We ought to have one street-sweeping
machine for Main street and another for
Broad street. and both should be kept
running from sunset to sunrise.
We should also have law prohibiting
any person from throwing paper on the
sidewalks or roadways. Other cities have
had to legislate in this way. and Rich
mond will have TO follow suit, and the
quicker the better. Nothing could look
more untidy than a street Uttered with
paper-nothing except a public park so
Uttered.
We grieve to say that in many, If not
most of our parks, paper is allowed to
blow about upon the grass and lodge
against the hedges or fences or shrubs,
sward, when Is or 20 minutes work upon
the part of one man would remove the
nuisance each day.
For those who delight in tidy, trim,
well-kept streets and parks, and who
wish to see Richmond excel as city
In this respect, as she does in many
others, there's nothing TO do to secure
the reform we desire but 10 demonstrate
and agitate until relief comes.
The City Council ought to be urged
to give us two additional street-sweeping
machines. There should be an ordinance
providing a penalty against throwing
trash, paper dodgers" etc, on the
streets. And the public should hold park
keepers TO a strict accountability for
neatness OF the greenswards, walks, and
drives, under their charge

more important than the individual opin-
ion of Mr.. Depew, railroad president
hnancier. scholar, politician. and prize
post-prandIai orator though he be. 10 the
fact that his views have started a dis
cussion OF the question OF college ednca-
tion which Is going the grand round OF the
press in the form of editorials, contripu-
lions. and interviews.
With the exception OF Mr. Henry C'ews,
the banker. who seems to have quarrel
with all college-bred men, the consensus
OF opinion appears to be tha'
Mr.. Depew's head is very level on
the college question. and that the young
man who commences the battle OF Ire
with a college education stands much
better chance OF making success IN
his chosen vocation than one who mas
been denied the advantage Of the college
course. 1t is not questioned that many
comparatively uneducated men hi'e
achieved great success in business, but Inc
point Is well taken by more than one OF
those who have participated In the dis-
NuosiOil, AHut I'D
among the strongest friends Of higher
education. They appreciate their own
lack OF knowledge and how much more
successful they might have been hau
their educational equipment been greater.
and II they have sons they are apt 10
give them the benefits of a college or
university training.
The discussion has taken wide range
In that It has brought out many theories
as 10 methods OF education, caused COM
parsons to be instituted between the OLD
and the new systems, and has. OF course
In measure revived in certain quarters
the fight on Latin and Greek. As To the
comparisons referred to. IL is not certain
that they are not timely. In the opinion
of many persons whose views are entitled
to weight, II is serious question whether
or not there H. not too much "cramninS
and too much "frlir' work in the new
college and university system. Therefore.
they ask, would II not BE- advisable to
strike a golden mean between the old and
the new method? AS TO the fight on the
classics. that. we think may be very
properly dismissed as side issue. Al
though the discussion Of the classical
question Is made interesting. the evidence
is overwhelming that the study OF Latin
and Greek-that is, severe classical train
ng"-is not losing ground In our higher
institutions of learning. The most adj
vanced English scholars are foremost in
antagonizlng the proposition to pay less
attention to the study OF Latin and Greek,
and for the reason, as has been apt!y
said that English is best learned by the
study it receives in connection with the
classical tongues. Our college cons ought
70 take off their hats to Mr.. DeDew In
acknowledgment as well of his own
championship of higher education as OF
his services in inspiring others to come
to the help Of the cause.

Nervousness

Is only another name for impure
blood, for no person is weak and ner-
vous whose blood is perfectly pure.
When the blood Is full of the germs
Of disease, and lacking in the red cor
puscles which give it vitality, when it
fails to properly nourish the organs
and tissues Of the body, what can you
expect but that tired feeling and ner-
vousness?
or course Scrofula, Salt Rheum,
Catarrh and Rheumatism are uni
versslly recognized as blood diseases,
for which Hoods Sarsaparilla, as the
best blood purifier, is everywhere
acknowled the greatest remedy.
Therefore, as Hoods Sarsaparilla
cures all blood diseases, it is the best
remedy for that condition of the blood
which causes Nervousness.
1t is a false idea to think you are
curing your nervousness when you
are taking a preparation which only
ouiets your nerves! 1t is like trying to
"drown" your sorrows in the flowing
bowl. They are sure to return.
We wish to make most impressive,
then, this truism: =,
You cannot purify your blood by
pEApENING or QUIETING your nerves
with opiate, narcotic or nerve COM
pounds. II you take such articles
you are only THRILLING with your
troubles. There is SURE to be a REAC-
TON which will leave you worse than
you were before.
Why not then, take the true course,

health, purify your blood and cure
