IMPROVEMENT OF OUR COMM0N
IEAHROH.

The official communication OF Hon.
w. X. Mayo, president OF the Board OF
Harbor Commissioners. addressed to the
Chief of Engineers of the United States
Army in charge of hasbor improve
ments, and which was brought Ia the
attention OF the Business Mems Assoc
citation, and considered by the Board Of
Directors of that body at their meeting
Friday evening, is u most important
paper. The subject of needed improve
mcnts in the deepening and widening OF
our harbor as set forth I'm Mr. Mayos
letter, should receive the immediate con-
sideration of the department in charge.
in order that such report may he pre-
sented to Congress as will secure the
proper surveys and the appropriations
required to carry out the rccommen-
dations that will be embraced in the
report of such surveys.
The Harbor Board. by It's action
through it's president. has taken the first
systematic step in bringing to the atten-
ton OF the proper officials in charge the
needed improvements to our grca. har-
Dor. Something more than this is
needed, and that is ACTION to see that
the interests of our common port I'm the
matter OF improvements are not over
looked or permitted To be passed by TO
this end the citizens of Norfolk and
Portsmouth and the county of Norfolk
should have an authorized board or
commission or committee. constituted
similar TO the Board of Harbor Com
mic .tN,,d Il IA, -,
should be met in the same way. whose
duty II would be TO press the work of
harbor Improvement upon Congress In
a manner that would compel recogni-
ton.
The citizens of Wilmington. y. c..
Charleston, S. c., Savannah, Ga. New
Orleans, La, and Galveston Tex, are
always represented at Washington dur
ing the session of Congress in order that
their harbor improvements may he in
telligently pushed. The interests OF our
harbor have never been looked after in
n proper, systematic way. and as re-
suit the appropriations for its improve
ments have been slow, meagre and in
adequate. This>could all be changed by
II small annual outlay on the part
of Norfolk, Portsmouth and Norfolk
county, and untold benefit would be the
result. Let action be taken.

NonroLK,s wArEa srrpLY.


Nearly two years ago The Virginian
called attention to the Northwest river
as source of water supply for Norfolk
1t took no credit to itself for this. as
its attention and interest was attracted
by modest and unassuming citizen,
Captain Duncan, who had knowledge of
the river and the healthfulness of its
water and faith in It's unlimited supply,
for the uses Of great city OF q million
of people.
The Virginian ut the time simply
urged an investigation of the river as n
source of supply. 1t secured an analysis
OF the water and urged that steps be
taken looking to the future wants of
Norfolk. Since then the subject has
been earnestly presented in It's columns,
invarious communications, by DR.. j. w.
Thomas. Jr., and on Friday committee
of the Councils and officials of the Water
Board visited the Northwest river. A
report of their visit appeared in yester-
days Virginlan. II Is needless to say
from the report OF the visit and the in
formation secured, The Virginian Is
more than ever impressed with the be.
lief that the river can supply an un.
limited amount of water for all the flu
/ ture wants of Norfolk. and of the very
best quality for all purposes. entering
into the uses and needs of great city

SOME POLITICAL COMMENT.

The political horoscope reveals little
that is new or that has not already been
given TO the public through the usual
channels. The fact that DR.. r. \. Wise
has decided to contest the election of
Hon. w. y. Young, the candidate-elect
from this district, if ne can raise the
money to do so, has set the people to
talking. o fcourse the first thing to be
considered is the raising of the neces.
sary funds. AT present 1t is more than
probable that Mr.. Young is not worry
ing half so much over the chances of n
contest as is the Williamsburg Doctor.
1t may not be amiss to surmise, that
1t is probable that DR.. Wise has never
studied the financial question with
quite as much interest as he Is doing at
present. the issue of the last campaign
to the contrary Notwithstanding There
are number of people unkind enough
rison about the matter of finances. as
the latter has had some little experience
in raising money of late. But why
should the Doctor care so much about
office at this time? Seeing that his cam
paign was made for The great preinci-
Pies of his party and the preserving
Of the national honor" certainly he
should not mind losing so small a thing
as seat in Congress. now that his party
has won the fight and the country is
no longer in danger of going to the
bow bows"
So far as the distribution of the Fede-
raj plums is concerned in this district,
interest grows apace. but there are some
OF those who are hoping that lightning

FAREWELL OF THE LEAVES.

Said the leaves upon the branches
one sunny autumn day:
We've finished all our work. and now
We can no longer stay;
So our gowns of red and yellow,
And our cloaks of sober brown
Must be worn before the frost comes
And we go rustling down.
We've had II jolly summer.
With the birds that built their nest;
Beneath our green umbrellas
And the squirrels that were ou)
guests;
But we cannot wait for winter,
And we do not care for snow:
When we hear the wild northwesters
We loose our clasp and go.
