There is something pathetic IN 'he s""-
..r,od counlaint which the ancient ana
honorable Dispatch uttered in It's lead
,ro EDITORIAL Yesterday. that The Times
had not come TO its help-presumabiy TO
restore the purity of elections IN Virginia
There is something more than p~athctlc
in This roproach of The Times. there Is
something absurd and besides being ABB
surd there is "a striking combination OF
facts which would lead an ordinary jury
TO the conclusion that the Dispatch knew
that its imputation against The Times
WAS both absurd and ~unfounded. on the
18th instant, we published an editorial
which has evidently been carefully
studied DN the Dispatch. for yesterday 1t
adopted not merely the main line Of
thought. but in one case almost the iden-
Teal language Of our editorial.
The following is the essential feature
Of the Dispatch's editorial. to which We
refer:
we all know the situation in Virginia
in Eastern and Southside Virginia par
ticuiarly. We all agree that the whites
must rule. But IL would seem Impossible
TO nave elections against which no COM
plant can be made, whilst suffrage in
tbs State is wholly unrestricted. The
real remedy would seem TO be in a re-
stricuon upon the ballot, to relieve the
counties in question, from an ever-recur-
ring danger: but If The Times has ever
come TO the help Of the Dispatch in this
matter We ave not discovered II. True,
the present prospect for a constitutional
amendment does not seem bright-we
have no hope OF a constitutional convcn-
ton being ordered next ycar-but II the
whites were practically united a way
out Of our difficulties would soon be
found.
The Times I'm advocating a settlement
OF this negro question used the following
language. oGltorially. ten days ago:
But II Ohe negro question in certain
counties) was dragged in uhis eloction)
with a vengence as the election returns
showed and IL is now evident that II II
was dragged in at this election. II will
be an eyerlastingly recurring cause of
dissension until II is settled"
1t would. therefore, be OF the greatest
benefit TO the intelligent consideration of
any political question in Virginia 10 have
this negro question removed from our
political arena.
1t is q difficult question to handle be-

IMI NO~I-IIOOD (ASI.

The facts in the Yost-Flood case, which
is just now attracting so much attention,
are about as follows: Jacob Yost. Re
publican. and II. d. Flood, Democrat.
were opposing candidates for Congress
I'm The Tenth district. The ballots for
the district bore the names OF j. Nost,
u. D.. Flood. and G. w. Womack for
Congress. 1t appears that In the coun-
~ Of buckingham J. Yost received l,2i2
votes: II. y. Flood. 1,257 votes, and &
w. Womack. 9 votes. although the poll
books showed that at one precinct
(GIenmore) % votes were cast for Jake
Yost." There can be no doubt that
even If such votes were cast, they were
intended for J.. Yost. the Republican
candidate. as he is generally known as
Jake Yost.' and there was no other
Yost running for Congress. But the
clerk Of the County Court Of Bucking-
ham. in making his returns TO the Sec
retary Of the Commonwealth. reported
that Jacob Yost' had received l2'2
votes.
The State Board Of Canvassers (Gov-
ornor OFerrall dissenting IL Is said) de-
cidcd that they must go by the letter
of the law. u so gave TO IL. u. Flood
1901 votes. TO j. Yost, 1892 votes, and
TO Jacob Yost. 1.272 votes. and on this
showing gave the certificate Of election
to II. D.. Flood. With the buckingham
vote for ]. Yost. he would have a piu-
rality over Flood.
The question may be asked. what tho
certificate will be worth to MIR. Flood.
as it is quite certain that If the con-
test should ever reach Congress, the
Republicans would make short work
Of it. The advantages TO Mr.. Flood,
in any event. are many The members
Of Congress who receive the certificates
will be sworn in on March 4, 1891. and
begin at that time TO draw pay at the
rate of Sn6.GG % per month. This in
the case in question would go TO Mr..
Flood. In the absence Of an extra ses-
| sion. Mr.. Flood would draw this pay
until his case was settlod-at the very
earliest. not before December, 1885,, or
January. lsgS.
In addition TO that. he would be en-
titled to 500 per month for clerk hire,
and also to sl25 for stationery account
for the first session Of the Fifty-ffth
Congress.
lie would also be entitled TO all the
documents. seeds, &c. which are for
distribution during the time he serves.
Then. again, this action puts Mr.. Yost
in the position Of q contestant. and Con-
eross will allow Mr.. Flood a sum not
exceeding 5000. that he may make sworn
voucher for. as money spent IN this
contest. II Mr.. Yost should die or bee
come incapacitatcd before the contest Is
made. Mr.. Flood would retain the seat
during the entire time.
Ii may be stated also that Congress al-
lows Mr.. Yost. as contestant, the same
amount for expenses. under $1,000. that
it allows Mr.. Flood. contestee. and that
if the case was decided in January. 1885,
in favor of Mr.. Yost. he would also
draw pay from March :. l,g7, making an
expense of a double salary for an the
time the contest lasted.

Our Ambassador at London. Hon.
Thomas f.. Bayard. has been kind enough
10 send us. as o. curiosity. q copy Of tho
London Times Of November Q. 1895. just
ono hundred years ago. II is No. 33
OF that journal. and it IS printed upon
both sides Of four pages. about eighteen
inches long by thirteen wide. Compared
with the London Times Of to-day, it Is
as the merost midget TO a giant. Its
price. printed on 30. IS 41-2d.. or about
nine cents. The New York Herald OF last
Sunday contained, perhaps. one hundred
time. as much reading matter ana was
sold for five cents.
Amongst other things. it contains one
half Of General Washington's farewell
address TO the American people when
il promises TO conclude the next day.
Tho paper speaks thus of the address.

nation of George Washington, ESQ OF

made known Yesterday by the arrival

Notwithstanding. the intention of Cen
oral washington had been long am

vailed upon him TO continue In Office Tor

rrIIDING AND LOAN ASSOCIATIONS

ETIIDING = IoAN HH''
The Commissioner Of Banking for the
state of Pennsylvania has just issued his
report on the condition Of building and
loan associations I'm that State. The
whole number Of associations is l.l3l;
borrowing members. ,9.iti; non-borrowing
members. l7IuG. loans. Se0.15l.525; divi-
donds. si0.5s2. 1s2. number Of foreclosures.
So. The commission says that while a
few Of the associations are weak, the
vast majority are in excellent financial
condition.
We spoke yesterday of savings banks
as "a means Of promoting thrift aud econ
omy and eventually Of making home
owners. Building and loan associations
accomplish much in thc same line. They
are excellent mediums for saving a few
dollars each month and the returns arc
generally speaking. larger than from any
other source OF Investment equally safe.
There arc many such Institutions in Rich
mond and throughout the State Of Vir-
ginia. and We know OF no single instance
where an association has failed or
where the stockholders have lost their
holdings. on the other hand. they sup
ply money on the instalment plan TO
persons who would own their own homes.
and many men in Virginia to-day are
living under their own vine and fig tree
because of the existence Of building ana
loan associations.
We rather think. however. that building
and loan associations are not as liberal
TO the borrower as they should he. or as
it is TO their best interests TO be-. The
rate OF interest is so high. and there are
so many exartlons. that none except
small borrowers can well AFFORD TO Dor
row. II the system We're changed. so as
to MAKE it better to the interest Of the
borrower TO secure loans from these a.
sociations, the amount of loans on the
building and loan plan. which
has materially fallen off with
liz the past several years. would
be largely Increased and the assoc
Citations would thus not only confer a
great benefit on the public. but would.
we believe. largely Increase their profits.
We have no doubt that the entire system
viii be greatly n~beralized within the
early future.

The cost Of the Cuban war TO Spain has
been thus far about s9OJ.0OO,o0. At least
10000 men have been sent TO the island
from time TO time and the losses. includ-
ing desertions. amount to about 5000.
At this rate the island bids fair to cost
more b 1t is worth. and there may be
defeat at last for the Spanish govern
