thing to do now Is to secure all the street

bnty And, suppose that the Traction
Company's machinery should fail it for

would be I'M
AS we have said, the community would
rejoice II the old and new company could
arrange so that every car might run

reunion. at least; but, IL they can't agree,
let the old company at least extend its
line from Main street TO the Exposition

on the Main-street line.
If the old company declines TO do That,
which is certainly in its power to do, to
assist in the moving Of our visitors to
and from the Exposition-Grounds during
the reunion. it will make a great
mistake Mr.. Pizzini. who IL
man of intelligence. and who enjoys the
confidence Of our people, must realize
the truth Of what we say. There is, too
an obligation resting upon the Traction
Company to make concessions in the in
terest OF the public especially If it can
do so without parting with any Of its
franchiscs), so that the reunion shall be

that he may have to walk back TO

the occasion Of a certain Fourth-of-
July fireworks display in this city.
We conclude by saying that, if pos

But we cannot believe that Spain has

and not by a court-martial. Upon the re-

REUNION AND THE srREEr-oAns.

II we correctly understand the letter
OF Mr.. Andrew Pizzini, which we publish
to-day, Il seems probable that we shall
have 90 depend entirely upon the Traction
Company for Handling the crowds that
will Wish TO so between the city and the
Exposition Grounds during the Confede-
rate reunion.
AS we read the letter. the old company
IS willing to extend its tracks from
Main street to the Exposition
provided that II is also permitted 10 run
np Broad street, from Harrison street, TO
the Exposition Grounds. But we take IL
that the old company viii do nothing un-
less both privileges be conceded II. If we
are wrong in this view. we wish Mr..
Pizzni would correct us at once, because
the point is an important one and it Is
likely 20 be much discussed here for
some time 10 come.
Il Is useless now 20 return to the an
Client controversy between the old
company and the new company.
Suffice It TO say that the Trac-
ton Company has built a line under
It's charter. and the Judgment OF the
City Council seems TO be that the Trac-
tons franchise should not be Invaded or
disturbed In any way. The Dispatch Is
OF the opinion that only two tracks should

regrets that a different arrangement was

In a recent article the Dispatch stated
that the Danville Register, while unalter-
ably opposed to the adoption of the unit
rule at Staunton. expressed the fear that
the adoption of that rule by the sound
money men in the State Democratic con-
ventions of Michigan and Pennsylvania.
which they controlled, was not calcu-
lated to strengthen the opposition to the
unit rule in Virginia. We expressed the
hope that the Registers fear was I'M
founded. and argued that the action Of
the Michigan and Pennsylvania Demo
Gratis, with reference to the unit rule
would afford no justification for the adop-
ton of that rule by the Virginia Demo
Gratis. The Register copies that part OF
our article. and says:
"The Dispatch fails to state that the
Register did not justify the use Of
the rule, nor attempt to do so. On the
contrary, it argued that it was unjusti-
fable, and that it's operation would
work injury"
We certainly had no intention OF
placing the Register I'm a doubtful light
in respect of this matter, and do not
see how our remarks could be construed
as so doing. We have frequently quoted
the Register as one OF the staunchest
opponents of the unit rule. We consid-
cred its position on that question so well
known that we did not deem it necessary
TO state in terms that the action of the
Michigan and Pennsylvania Democrats
had in no wise changed it's views.
