THAT WAY LIES SAFETY.

The Norfolk Ledger says that the edi-
torial in Sundays Dispatch headed
Don't BE Caught Mapping" gives
"some excellent advice TO the Demo-
cratic voters and committees of the
state relative 10 the importance of ex-
hibitiny more activity in the campaign
than has yet been shown" our Norfolk
contemporary then reprints part OF
our article. and reinforces our position
and it's own contention as to the sound
ness of our advice, as follows
when the first Readjuster campaign
was waged i'm this city, about eighteen
years ago, the Democrats generally up
TO the time of the closing of the polls,
were confident that they had elected
their candidates, but when the ballots
were counted the fact was ascertained
that the Readjusters were a few votes
ahead Apathy on the part of the Demo-
Gratis had caused the Readjusters to win,
and what happened then may happen
again If efforts are not make to get
the Democratic voters to the polls"
The Roanoke Evening World speaks of
the same article from the Dispatch as
giving wholesome" and timely advice
10 the Democrats of Virginia, and copies
the article In full in order, as it says,
that its readers may have the pleasure
of perusing it and acting upon 1t.
That two of our contemporaries pub
llshed in sections OF Virginia so wide
apart should so heartily endorse, as
have the Ledger and the World, our
words of advice and warning affords the
10
party throughout the State is entirely
TOO well satisfied with the outlook, and
IL far from being awake TO the posi-
billties in respect OF vigor and organiza-
ton Of the fight the Republicans may
make So we say again to the Virginia
Democrats. "Dont be caught mapping
'Take nothing for granted" except that
we shall have opposition in every house
and senatorial district where, in the
opinion of the enemy, there is the slight
est chance of their electing their candi-
date or reducing our majority. BE salts
fed about nothing except that the two
wings of the Republican party will pro-
badly, when it comes TO voting. harmo-
nize on the Lynchburg State ticket as
completely as If there had never been
a splt-a consummation that would
prove a powerful factor in consolidating
and perfecting the Republican local or
ganizations for the legislative contests.
Let the Democrats, therefore, throw
themselves into the campaign with an
activity and earnestness. and an enthu-
siasm born Of anticipation that the
enemy will make an old-time fight all
along the line. That way lies safety.

The shipment of Lake Superior iron
ore reached in 1855 the unexampled total
Of 10 429. 0S7 tons. receded to 100000 tons
in 1886. and will be from 100000 TO H.
O0O 900 tons this year. About one-thlrd
of the whole product is taken by the
Carnegie Company, and around TINS TACT
centre the influences which are giving
the ore situation its present shape. we
learn from correspondent Of the New
York Journal OF Commerce that the
Carnegie establishment represents an in
vestment of anywhere from $3O,WOOO0 10
$50 100000 according TO the method OF
appraisal adopted. Mr.. Rockefeller is
the largest owner Of the mines Of the
Mesaba range. and, while the physical
structure of Mesaba ore renders its ex-
elusive use in furnace practice impossi-
BILE, 40 per cent. of II can be used IN
combination with harder and coarser
ores. 1t was, therefore says the corre-
spondent, q perfectly natural bargain for
the Carnegie people to make with Mr..
Rockefeller, TO agree to take a mini
mum of 100000 tons of ore a year from
each of his two groups of Mesaba mines,
and to pay him 25 cents a Ton for the
privilege of mining IL. That is to say
1.-THE great Pittsburg concern has
bought for series Of years, in advance,
the privilege of taking from the ground at
least 100000 tons OF Mesaba ore every
year, being liable to a charge of 20 cents
per ton tor the ore below that total
which they fail TO mine. Beginning with
this fixed charge, there are the other
costs of labor, coal, machinery, and
transportation, all of them fairly cal
eulable, and none of them subject TO
much variation Mr.. Rockefeller owns
the railroad from the mines 10 the ship
ping docks at the head of Lake Supe-
rior; he owns the shipping required to
carry the ore from the Lake Superior
TO the Lake Erie port-his sixteen
steamers and barges carrying an ag-
gregate capacity of 100000 tons per sea-
son The agreement provides that the
rate of freight to be paid for this SER
vice shall be the average rate of the
season, or for this year, say, GO TO 65
cents per ton. AT the Lake Erie port
the ore is transferred from Mr. Rookie
feller's boats TO the cars on Mr.. Carne-
g.e's railroad connecting with his fur
naces"

yrsrrnpAy,s SHOWERS.

The showers OF yesterday. insufficient
as they were, did an amount OF street.
cleaning that could not have been done
in the same length of time by thousand
men. But yet much remains undone.
And inasmuch as we cannot have rains
whenever we wish them. our city authori-
ties should buy additional sweeping ma
chimes sufficient to keep Richmond spank
ing clean all OF the time.
We repeat, city is known by Its
streets The stranger will not be easily
led to believe that a city which has worm
out pavements (such as that on Ninth
street, and dusty streets is thrifty and
prosperous.
In our judgment, the people OF Rich
mond are not content with the present
condition of things. They want to see
new streets built where needed to keep
up with house-building, and theY want
the old streets put in good order and so
kept. We spend large sum OF money
every year "for streets generally that
would be much better invested IN putting
Main and Broad and other principal
streets in creditable order.
Never, no never, will Richmond be as
attractive looking as it ought TO be until
our chief thoroughfares receive the at
tention they deserve. And we cannot
but believe that when the city itself does
its duty fully, individual citizens will do
theirs. and will be ashamed TO allow the
sidewalks and cutters to be Uttered with
paper trash as at present.

Virginia well in all the positions he was

The New York Journal Of Commerce
holds that a general salesman employed
by a firm to sell its goods has implied
authority to fix the price. II this were
not so. It says, a purchaser could not
safely deal with any one except the actual
owner of the goods. If the sales
man has been instructed not to sell be-
low a certain price. those instructions
are binding as between himself and his
employer. but they do not bind pur-
chaser who has no knowledge Of them
But It goes on to argue that there Is
one apparent exception to the general
rule. If the price named by the agent
Is so unusual or so unreasonably low
as TO put a prudent buyer upon his guard,
then the principal will not be bound
The ground upon which buyer is en-
abled TO hold a principal to the contract
of his agent is that the buyer dealt with
the agent in good faith, supposing him
TO have the authority of his principal to
fix the price as he has fixed 1t. But
If the price is so far below the market
that a prudent man would be led to
doubt the authority of the agent to fix
such a price, then, the Journal holds,
the principal is not bound.
