SWIMMING POOLS.

Recent events have accumulated the
necessity for well-guarded bathing
places in the James river-places sur
rounded by such safeguards as would
enable boys to learn TO swim without
the danger of being drowned.
1t is not easy to construct bathing
houses" in our river, because of the
great floods that come in the winter
and threaten their existence; but Coro-
ner Taylor has suggested that suitable
spots may be selected and so staked off
as TO afford great degree of safety.
His idea strikes US as an admirable
one. These bathing places might be es-
tabished at little cost, and with stakes
and buoys the depth of the water and
dangerous currents might be so marked
off as to warn the boys where trouble
turks. Furthermore. at little expense,
men might be employed to teach the
boys how TO swim, and TO be at hand to
rescue them, should they get into unsafe
places. How much better II would be
for us to have such bathing-places than
~ nave Jul bOsS iohAhS NhN Nt'N" 1900
they now take-risks which every year
result in the drowning of number OF
them!
1t is not to Richmond's credit that
this matter has been neglected so long.
Public Earthquakes are needed so that
the boys may enjoy the exercise and
sport of swimming. They are also need
ed for the sons of the poor, who live In
houses that are unprovided with bath
tubs. The number of such houses here
is larger than one who has never in
vestigated the matter would suppose.
A few weeks ago, when we under
took to discuss this subject. some one
raised question about allowing the
two races TO battle together. Our an
swer was that there should be separate
places for whites and blacks. There
would be no difficulty at all about such
an arrangement
For the health Of our boys and to
lessen the number of drownings, we
should be willing to spend little money
in the manner Indicated Such an en-
terprlSe coulu DC pest conducted py an
organization OF public-spirited people.
The expenditure required would not be
great, while the good that would be
done would vastly more than repay the
outlay.
We hope to hear soon of the organiza-
ton of society to carry out the Coro-
ner's suggestion.

TEA TESTS.

| The act OF Congress known as the new
tea law went into effect May ISL
and the standards for It's admins
tration were established by committee
OF tea experts" appointed by the Irea-
sury Department About ten days ago
the Journal OF Commerce had an inter-
view with one of these experts, "ho'
| among other things, said that the teh"-
| ency OF the new law and the STANDARDS
was TO relieve this country from Deins
the dumping ground OF the tea sweepihss'
dust. and trash of India, China, anu
japan. The same expert also declared
that the finest crops of tea ever Imported
into this country was coming forward,
and what was more to the point, affirmed,
in effect. that poor folks need not stand
in fear Of being compelled to fall back
on sassafras and herb decoctions. seeing
that there would be no material increase
in the price Of tea, owing to the exclusion
of trash.
Now, however, 1t seems that the expert
was a little too previous In some re-
spects. The Treasury Departments reg
ulations, which were prepared with the
cooperation OF tea commission. de-
clare that teas cannot be admitted into
the country If the percentage Of dust
when sifted through a No. l6 sieve shall
exceed 10 per cent. 1t is true that these
regulations exclude the trash, but 1t Is
also true, it seems, that they are loaded
h. OraHac IF The
Journal of Commerce Of yesterday says:
The sieve adopted by the regulations
readily allows fine, broken leaf TO pass
through, and the result is that fine teas
prepared from the small leaves of the tea
plant and the broken small leaves frac-
tured in the manufacture, all of the
highest quality, and worth several times
the value of the standards selected by
the committee which framed the regula-
lions, are being kept out of the market
The Journal of Commerce then goes on
to explain that the difficulty has arisen
by reason of a mechanical test being
applied where, 1t is claimed. only chem
zeal one can discover the authorizations.
While. il adds, the act Is aimed at keep
ing out adulterated teas, the regulations
are made to read so the question of how
much dust each tea contains seems TO be
the sole test.
Wherever the difficulty may be, there
appears no question that the new law
and it's standards suggest greater con-
gressional and expert familiarity with
American House and Senate "cold tea"
than with imported tea generally.

THE PENSION SCANDAL.

According 10 the report of the Auditor
of the Treasury for the Interior Depart
ment, in the fiscal year ending June
Goth there was paid out In pensions
$1n, 200. ISL. or sl.7g7.76i more than was ex-
pended in pensions during the fiscal year
1866. The same officer also states that
since 1865 the government has PAID
In pensions the prodigious sum OF s2.lsS.-
l5s. os5.
This report has again started num-
| Der OF our northern contemporaries 10
| commenting on the pension evil. One OF
| these contemporaries. the New YORK
| Times. goes into the matter at some
| length. The fact is. says the Times,
that the figures cannot be grasped by
the human mind. but some faint notion
may be conveyed OF their magnitude by
comparison. The total Interest bearing
debt In 1870. and which represented sub
stantiaily the cost OF the civil war 10
the United States Government. was, adds
the Times, 2,Oi6, 722. On this the people
paid In interest annually sllS.7H,slO Yet
In 1896 we had reduced the debt TO sSi',-
1853. $50, while paying an amount in PEN
sions in excess of the debt incurred Tor
carrying on the war.
The Times then goes on to say that
this pension appetite grows by what II
is fed or; declares that the pension evil
is promoted "by politicians who culti-
waite the good will of the veterans by
lavish appropriations of public funds,
all raised - taxes, to carry out REX
lessly male pension laws contriyed 10
enlarge the multitudinous taps already
applied to the government barrel" and
concludes as follows:
eve are not surprised to learn that
the Commissioner of Pensions Is tremu-
loUs In contemplation OF the coming To-
gether OF Congress and the passage or
new laws to make Il easier TO get orisi-
nal pensions and simplicity Itself TO nave
increased all pensions already granted
Indeed 1t has come TO be quite the COM
mon practice. we are credibly Informed,
for a pensIoDer to celebrate the granting
of his pension by promptly filing an APP
pication for an Increase, presumably
based upon some prospective increase of
disability. This practice must deprive
such pensioners of much OF the senti-
mental respect in which they have been
held. Already the rate Of expenditure
for the year indicates that the total cost
of pensions in 1S97-9S may be Sl60.0Oo,Vo.
or about s2O,OOO,coo in excess OF the cost
In 1861"
Truly. the Times presents startling
figures and makes a startling exposure.
Truly, also, If the fight continues, as the
Times and some other northern papers
are now carrying it on, 1t Will not be
long before the pension evil will become
a burning question with the northern
and western taxpayers, and there VIII
be a chance for the South's relief from
one of the ILLS OF conquered State"
This section has never objected TO the
pensioning Of worthy Federal veterans,
but il would hail with delight "A move
ment at the North that would result in
the uprooting of the scandalous system
that now obtains. and which bears harder
on the South than on any other sec
ton. for the reason that practically none
of the money collected from us and dis
bursed under the system comes back
TO us.

The Storm Coming.
U,nchburg Adyance.)


The political lul in Virginia is the calm
which precedes the storm. IL is much 100
hot lust now for men TO indulge in heated
political discussions. But as soon as the
thermometer falls to a comfortable figure.
and the bracing breezes of autumn begin
TO blow. infusing new life and energy
into both leaders and people, the pan
will open and the fun may be expected
10 begin. The Democrats are getting
ready for the fray, devising plans ana
organizing their forces. Major Tyler mas
given the watchword of the campaign
Take nothing for granted" The advice
will be needed in every county and every
neighborhood in the State.
We know the methods OF our adversa-
ries They are never more dangerous than
when fighting in the dark. The RepuDh-
can Executive Committee desired TO pur-
sue that policy and TO throw Democrats
off their guard by nominating no State
ticket. and concentrating all their efforts
on the fight for the Legislature. They are
convinced of the impossibility of electing
a Governor, but they imagined that by
making a show of inaction they might
steal march on the Democrats and cap
ture the Legislature. In every city ana
county they will be found voting for the
candidates who oppose regular Demo-
cratic nominees, whether those candl-
dates be Republicans Independent Demo-
Gratis. Populists. or Prohibitionists.
Chairman Lamb has deranged the plans
OF the committee His call for a conven-
ton will be needed by the rank and nile
of his party. The convention will be held
a State ticket will be nominated. and
then the opponents OF the Democratic
party must come out OF the bushes and
fight in the open.
We confess that the Lamb programme
is more to our liking. There is always
more interest In an open, square nght
Then there Will be full and free discus

and make up their minds intelligently as
TO the proper course OF conduct. The
Democrats OF Virginia have nothing 10
fear from free and fair discussion OF all
the political questions OF the day. Turn
on the light" is always our maxim. The
Democratic party is the true party or
the people. 1t is. and always has been,
the champion OF the peoples rights. and
what is more, the people OF Virginia
know IL. and they will not be misled by
the appeals OF demagogues or the criti-
cisms OF disappointed politicians.
The interests OF the campaign are In
safe hands. our nominees-Tyler, Echols,
and Montague-are welcomed everywhere
by the hearty acclaims OF the people.
Chairman Ellyson has shown by his sue

present that he Is the right man to hold
the helm and direct the campaign.

Two candidates for the State Senate and
I'VE for the House OF Delegates are TO be
nominated.
The Lsglslature at Its coming session
will be chiefly occupied in efforts TO in

and TO cut down expenses. Richmond
will have immense interests az stake. We
ought TO choose good. strong. influential,
representative men to look after them. Ii
is. therefore. the duty of every Demo-

these nominees. SO. inform yourselves as

The Legislature of Virginia. at its
next session, will be called upon to elect
county judges for the entire State. In
many of the counties there are animated
contests for these places. and in Greene
and Lee it has been determined to lave
Democratic primaries to ascertain the
sense of the people as to the proper PER-
sons for the Legislature to elect.
1t would seem that at present there
is no great apprehension felt that the
Legislature will take steps either TO re-
duce the number of county judges largely
or to abolish that system entirely.

RICHMOND's INTERESTS.

We call upon all our people TO consider
the Importance OF Richmonds sending
strong delegation to the next Legls-
lature. Especially do we urge our busl-
ness-men to throw off their seeming in
difference as TO this matter. 1t is
strange that those who may be most
affected by unwise legislation are those
who take least interest in primaries.
Strange. but true.
At the next session Of the Virginia Gene
raj Assembly the foremost question-in-
deed, almost the only question-will be
the one of finance. Members will have to
inquire how and where they may get more
net revenue for the State Quite likely
there will be come retrenehment of ex-
penses, but the exigencles OF the sltna-
tion cannot be met in that way alone New
sources of revenue will have TO be sought
for. And all experience shows that most
dilgent search will be made for IT in the
cities. We therefore ought TO have our
interests in the Legislature protected by
the strongest delegation we can send
there. Our members ought to be men who
oan do good work for us. Let us therefore
scan the list OF candidates and choose
therefrom those who will be the truest
and the most diligent and effective repre-
sentatives we can find at this time.
For the Senate, Conway Sands and
Beverly Munford have no opposition.
They will have walkover. Well and
good. But for the House there is quite
o number Of candidates. out OF which we
have to select FIVE.
Each voter will be entitled to vote for
i've candidates for the House--no more.
no less. And every good Democrat ought
to vote. and vote for the five that he
thinks will serve Richmond best.
II seems TO US that 1t is easily within
our power 20 choose Ave who will form
. delegation truly representative OF our
parry and our people; men who. also.
will have the zeal and ability, the tact
and the energy. TO represent us well and
truly.
AS yet this matter OF nominations has
not received from any class the atten-
ton II deserves. And least OF all have
our business considered the subject.
We now call their especial attention TO
this matter. We would have them. and
our professional men and our workmen.
scan the list Of candidates for the House
and pick out the best possible ticket;
ticket that win safeguard all OF our in
terests and prove acceptable TO the party
~ nominees and useful 10 the community
In their seats In the House.
Richmond. we feel sure. Is willing to
bear her full share of public burdens.
This We do not seek 10 escape from, but
on the other band. We do not wish 10
see any scheme Of taxation CT any mode
OF retrenchment adopted that will bear
un1nstly upon our people. But in such
tussls as there is probably going to be
IN the next legislature each representa-
i've viii be found looking after the In
ssrests Of his own constituency. This
