HOME PATRONAGE AND HOME
PEOPLE.

The V!rginian has often referred to the
Importance OF patroniz!ng home mer-
chants IN preference to sending away to
get what one needs. and has pointed ou,
the incalculabie advantages 10 accrue
from the adoption of such a
custom. /: believes. however. tina.
the practice does not obtain to
so great an extent at present
as me time back. 1t regrets. however.
tina: the custom does exist at all. and
hopes IN the near future to see It done
away with altogether. There is every
reason why the home merchant should
have the patronage Of the people of mis-
town-'he has right; to expect it, and
he should receive 1t beyond all question
AS rule. the class Of goods, such as
are sold in Norfolk, will compare ia
vorahly with tina: Of any other city in
the country, and the assortment Is quite
as varied and complete Yet there are
those who send to New York for the
most trifng articles which c5uld be had
as we'll at home and at the same cost
as in the metropolis.
Our merchants help to keep the city
going. They pay taxes, license. rents.
and distribute money to labor. and when
money Is to be spent i; should be spent
WITH them. These people, in
many cases. have all their cap
itai invested in the various lines
Of trade in which they are engaged.
and unless they get the patronage of
their own people, what are they to ex-
poet.
Every dollar sent from Norfolk to buy
goods whioh can be bought as cheaply
ana as good at home. simply weakens
the mercantile strength of the town, and
is losing game.

CAPTURE OF THE SCHOONER COM.
PETIEOR.

The Savannah News says that the re-
port is that the schooner Competitor was
caught by the Spaniards with incrlm-
mating evidence on board, and In such
event ii is hardly to be expected that
her crew will be shown any mercy. Our
contemporary recalls the fact that there
were no arms nor ammunition on the
Virginius when she was captured, but
the majority of her crew were butchered
in cold blood. and il thinks that 1t Is
within the range of probabilities that
another Virginius incident may grow
out of the Competitor affair. Many re-
member the unfortunate Virginlus .af-
fair. and hope never to hear of a like
one. The times. however, have greatly
changed since the butchery of the Vir-
ginius crew by the Spaniards. and If
the men of the Competitor are dealt
with in the same manner, the fact will
seal the doom of Cuba as a Spanish
province forever. The American people
will not submit to n repetition of the
horrible Nirginius affair.
