THE CHICAGO OUTLOOK.

The New York Herald. which has oeeh
engineering the Whitney anti-silver move
ment. has grown desperate over the OUT
look at Chicago. and in IT. issue of yes
terday il INDUCES in a fierce TRADE against
the Democratic silverites. IL wants 10
know II the Democrats are determined
10 wabble into oblivion. speaks ci the
silver men IN the party as fanaucs'
charges them with being lacking IN pa
triotism. and intimates that there are
no leaders among the Democrats MT 10
lead who are not goldites.
We confess that the Chicago prospect
go far as the financial Issue Is concerned.
is not TO our liking. We see little reason
to hope for anything but free-siVer
platform from the convention. We would
that II we're otherwise; for we fear that
free-silver declaration would have
disastrous effect upon the business OK the
country, and thus cause all classes 10
suffer. The fact that the currency ques-
ton is more OF a business than political
question. and that the business interests
OF the country are in natural sympathy
with what is known as sound money
had a forcible demonstration In the man
ner in which business responded TO the
financial outgiying OF the st. Louis con-
vention. There is no question That bet
ter feeling bean 10 pervade trade circles
as soon as 1t was definitely set
tied that the Republican party had
placed itself squarely upon a sound
money platform. This was due 10
no especial political aiiiliation BE-
tween business and the Republican party.
1t was owing solely to the fact that the
St. Louis convention declared for the
money that business believes in, thereby
inspiring business with confidence ana
leading to a disposition to expand trade
As confidence means the extension OF
credit along all lines-credit to the whole
saler, the manufacturer, the retailer the
farmer, the mechanic-and credit means
general activity, the logical deduction
seems to be that 1t would be mis-
fortune should the Chicago convention
make a financial deliverance that would
produce timidity in business circles again.
Yet. we are not prepared to admit that
the only leaders fit TO lead, and the only
| patriots In the Democratic party, peiohs
TO the gold wing of the party. There are
as able men and as true patriots among
the silver Democrats as among the gold
| Democrats: and the former have not been
less conscientious than their opponents In
devoting to the currency question pro-
| found study. Least Of all are we pre-
pared to admit that there is danger o.
| The Democratic party's wabbling into OBJ
llvon. as the result Of its action IN the
currency question at Chicago. What
/ ever the financial declaration 1t may
there make, the Democratic party will
live, as a bulwark against Republican ra-
pacity and Capitalization, and as the SAFE
guard Of local self-gOvernment The
business question involved in the fnan-
cial issue IS, as 4 vitalizing force, no.
thing. as compared with the great poll
teal principles OF Democracy.

PLATT's ESTIMATE.

Mr.. Platt made a speech in New YORK
CITY some days ago, In which he let his
audience know what he expected the
Republican party TO accompli In No
vember. He said:
I'VE cannot lose on the issue or pro-
lection and honest money. The forty-tve
votes Of New England protest that we
shall win. The thirty-six votes OF Ne"
York protest that we shall win. The
thirty-two votes Of Pennsylvania, the zen
of New Jersey, the twenty-three or ONO,
the tweuty-fOur of Illinois. the thirteen
of Iowa, the ten Of Kansas, the fourteen
OF Michigan. the nino OF Minnesota the
twelve of Wisconsin, the eight OF Ne
braska-all sure Republican States-are
the assurance that we shall win. ana
back OF all else IS the convincing fact
that we are o practical people, and with
three years Of Democratic folly 10 gulle
our judgment, we know when we nave
had enough Of a bad thing
That is assuming that the Republi-
cans will win battle in which they have
not vet engaged. and that the Democrats
will lose such a battle. We confess that
we do not like the present condition OF
things in the political world. yet We are
rot going to surrender before gun Is
fred. There's many q slip 'twixt the
cup and the lip" Nobody can foreteli
what IS 10 happen between now ara tho
meeting Of the Democratic National Con-
yentiOn.

STATE DAyKs-INCoME-TAx.

As convention after convention declares
in favor OF abolishing the tax on State
bank issues, and for a new system Of
State banking It becomes moro and more
evident that the people are dissatisfied
with the present banking system, and
have been led to believe that a new sys-
tenn can DO devised which will supply
q better curr ncy than We now have, and
furnish much more abundant supply Of
good paper money.
one Of the best Of the new banking
schemes is that which Mr. Springer in
troduced for Nit. Carlisle, when the sub
feet was last up before Congress. What
the new system proposed 10 accomplish
may DO inferred from the title Of the bill,
which reads as follows: AN act 10 amend
the laws relating to national banking as
sociations. TO exempt notes Of State
banks from taxation upon certain con-
nitions, and for other purposes"
As we stated yesterday. the Democrats
of Georgia, Ohio. North Carolina, and
other States have already declared them
selves f. favor OF now system Of State
banking. and of a new income-tax.
But this proposition TO enact new In
come-tax has no necessary connection
with any new banking system or any
new currency. We mention II because
we rather expect II TO be made planl,
IN the platform Of the Democratic
National Convention. However, as the
Democratic party ha- divided upon the
silver question, Il may DC expected 10
divide. not only upon the question OF the
enactment Of q tax upon incomes, but
upon any proposition that may be made
10 establish n new system OF national
bank and national currency.

1900 Of them will be accommodated in the
buildings upon the Exposition-Grounds.
Meals will also be furnished them there.
Thousands OF Richmond families have
also written to veteran friends In this ana

guests during the reunion. In most cases
acceptanccs have been received. SO THESE
thousands are TO be added to the other
thousands who will be publicly entertain
ed as the guests OF the Richmond pubic
AS We have said, about 1900 Of the old
veterans will DC CHARTERED and fed In the
buildings upon the Expositlon-Grounas
SO that place Will be, par eXcenence'

located the auditorium in which the con-
vention OF United Confederate Veterans
will be held.
The Exposition-G Grounds were many
years ago the Hermitage farm. A &c"
years before the war they became tine
new Fair-Grounds." An encampment OF
volunteer cavalry held there gave them
tho name Camp Lee" after General X
Il. Lees father. Light-Horse Harry Lee
This name the place retained during the
war. all Of which time ii was camp OF
rendezvous and instruction. When peace
returned the name Of FAIRGROUNDS was
restored Some years ago the Exposition
buildings were erected, and then the place
became known as the observation-disclosures
During the reunion the street-cars OF four
different lines will connect the city with
the grounds. and make them OF conve-
nient access to ell parts Of our city.

rrrpARr ron A GREAT CROWD.

Without a doubt. Richmond will De
called upon this week TO entertain
crowd Of vast numbers. Train and boat
loads Of people win arrive almost hour
Il. beginning with tomorrow morning.
Al OF our resources Of bed and board
are going TO be pu. TO an eKacting test.
and W. may as wen understand this now
20 that we may be forehanded with our
preparations.
Hitherto we have dealt with great
crowds staying here one day and night
only; now we must provide for friends
who will honor US with their presence for
three days and nights. and many of whom
will come to Richmond as on pill
gIimage from far-di tant States. our
Virginia friends. who will como In on
excursion trains Thursday morning and
leave the same night, will be able TO
take care of themselves pretty well;
our chief thought. therefore. must be
for those who viii stay the three days
out. Let every family that is able to
do 20 offer hospitality 10 some veteran
Let those who are unable to make such
a contribution 70 the common cause take
boardeTs at cOst-rates. JhOusauds are
seeking accommodations in plain homes
where nothing more than plain fare can
be paid for or will be expected. Let all
our hotels. restaurants, lunch-rooms'
etc, lay in big stocks Of provisions, and
be ready for the rush on Thursday.
Consider It settled that the crowd
will be ycry. very large; yet we think
It will not be in excess Of our capacity
for practicing hospitality, especially Il
this warning IS needed, and every pub
lie and private entertainer lays in an
abundant store of cots, bedding, and pro-
Visions.
Attend to all these details right or,
so that your mind may be at ease, ano
your face may be wreathed in smiles
70 greet your guests.

KEEP THE STREETS CLEAN.

II should be tho ambition and liked oe-
termination Of our people to have Rich
uond make the very best possible ap-
nearance this week, when there will be
visitors here from nearly every State in
tbe Union, and when iniallibly our city
will be spoken Of in comparison with
other cities.
In only one respect do we dread this
comparison. This is as to the neatness
of our streets. In so far as actual Nth Is
concerned. we believe Richmond's streets
are as Clearly as those of any city, but
In the matter Of trash paper we are far
behind the times. We have a city law
on this subject, and we trust that 1t viii
be rigidly enforced, at any rate during
the reunion. But, even IL this be done,
II will only meet the evil half way. All
the trouble does not come from the sweep
ing of trash into the street. There's but
one way TO reduce the evil, and that Is
to have Main and Broad streets, at least.
swept every night. This we hope the city
authorities will arrange TO do during
this week.
We ought to spend cur best efforts in
making these two great thoroughfares
presentable. No matter how gayly our
houses are decorated, no matter how
handsome our homes and shops may be.
II our principal streets are Uttered with
paper trash, the impression thereby made
upon strangers will be unfayorable 20 US.
IL cannot be otherwise. We, therefore,
urge and entreat our authorities TO drop
all other street cleaning work possible
and TO SEES to II that Main and Broad
streets are swept every night.
II this were done. and IL the police
would ask householders 20 keep the side
walks clean. our city would make beau
tiful appearance, and praises Of US would
come from all lips.
Let the city authorities and household
ers act together. Let war be declared
on trash paper. Let every citizen con-
slider that he has been appointed a com
mittee OF one 10 see TO 1t during the re-
union that our streets present tidy
appearance. Oh. that we had organized a
committee OF ladies on each square &c
further this object!
We heartily wish that the City Coun'
Gil would respond 70 the request OF the
Board Of Health, and give the board
plenty Of street machines and men &c
clean all OF our great streets every night
