A GINTER MEMORIAL.

The proposition 10 endow by puohc
subscription the Virginia Mechanics IN
s,it,ue as a memorial TO Major Lewis
Ginter is an eminently happy one, and its
naturalization is earnestly TO be de-
sired In no more fitting way IMAM py
the upbulding Of great school OF teen
nology here could be perpetuated the me
mory Of one who held Richmond so dear
and did SO much for her development as
aid Major Ginter During his life he
manifested deep interest in the institute
and was a liberal contributor to its sup
port. and the institution was generously
remembered In his will. The endowment
of the school as a tribute to Major Gin
ter's memory would in sense be In the
nature of continuing TO advance Rich-
mond along many lines on which he stead
tasty labored to advance her.
The Mechanics Institute has been and
is still doing q noble work In the matter
Of equipping young men for careers in the
fields Of business and the mechanic
arts. But its past and its present ere

foundation such as the proposed endow-
ment would lay.
The school Is fulfilling its mission as
far as its limited financial resources VIII
admit. 1t is conducted by a competent
and faithful corps of instructors. and we
know OF no more inspiring sight than that
which may be witnessed by visit 10 its
classes, most of whose members are
workers during the day. What is aimed
TO be taught in its several departments
IS thoroughly taught. But its sphere OF
usefulness is capable of manifold expan-
sion. aud If Richmond is to fulfil her
destiny as pointed out by nature-that OF
becoming a great manufacturing centre
she cannot do better than insure this ex-
pansion by making the institute Ginter
memorial that in its scope as a school OF
technology would be second to none in
the country.

all OF us to study II thoroughly. We
wo,Id be wise TO ascertain what has been
the scope and extent Of legislation IN
other states and how far those laws are
suited TO Virginia.
The opponents of the Jones resolution
az Roanoke made strong impression
upon many conservative men by de
claring that the question was brand
new one and had not had sufficient con-
sideration from the people To many
their argument seemed reasonable and
ca rrled the day, but the question is now
being daily discussed in the press and
upon the stump, and when next our party
IS called upon TO act, its decision must
be squarely upon the meriss Of the pro-
position--i. e.. whether Democratic voters
should or should not have the privilege
Of making their nominations directly
and under the protection of a primary
election law.

A NEW INDUSTRY.

Richmond may secure for herself
new and valuable industry, if she will
but give proper encouragement TO the
effort now being made to establish
beet-sugar factory here.
1t is no longer doubtful whether the
sugar-beet can be successfully cultivated
in virginia. Numerous experiments have
been made in many of our counties, and
everywhere with gratifying results. The
percentage of sugar yielded has been
large, and this, Notwithstanding the
fact that this season has been charac-
terized by severe drought.
OF lands adapted TO beet culture we
have plenty; our farmers are anxious to
raise this new crop, and it only re-
mains for Richmond TO provide the fac
tory where the raw product may be
turned into sugar.
There is abundant idle money in this
city to make up the capital stock of
the company, and it only remains for
our men Of means to show the proper
public spirit to secure this new enterprise.
Mr. Pace is leading the movement for
the formation of the company. and 1t is
to the communtys interest that he
should receive that support which will
indicate that Richmond means bust
ness" in this matter.

FLOYD, VA, October 15.-(Special.)- }
County Court has been in session since
Tuesday, and a special grand jury found
five indictments, which were nearly ell
for felonious assault John Howell and
Zaswell Martin were indicted for an at
tempt to kill L. H. HUFF. These are the
parties who went TO Huffs house some
time since to arrest him. Huff says
Howell shot at him while he was in bed,
and he shot Howell in the neck, an ac-
count of which was published in the Dis
patch last week Howell was arrested
yesterday afternoon on a bench warrant,
and placed in jail. Officers went after
Martin, but he was not found.
The rain Monday and Monday night did
not thoroughly wet the ground, but was
Of great benefit to the farmers, who can
now finish seeding and the wheat already
seeded will come up well.
Politics were quiet here court-day.
There was no speaking, and very few
seemed to take any interest in the cam
vass 1t is thought that the Republicans
will solidly support the Lyhcnburg ticket,
though those who are expecting Federal
appointments will be very quiet about 1t,
for fear of offending Brady a. Co.
The canvass for the House Of Delegates
in Floyd and Franklin is considerably
mixed. The Democrats of the two coun-
ties nominated T. III. Potter, Populist,
formerly a Democrat, and who voted for

The Republicans nominated Turner, Re-
publican, for the two counties. and

At the recent meeting of the New York
State Medical Convention, one of the
papers read called attention ito mas
sage as a trade or profession in which
the blind could put their specially de-
veoped sense of touch to such good ad-
vantage that in time they would mono
police this important and valuable me-
thod of treating disease, and render them
selves much more than self-supportiag
The New York Times considers the sug-
gestion an eminently good one, and says
that its practicability has been de-
monstrated for centuries in Oriental
countries, especially Japan. There, adds
the Times, the blind masseur has rec
ognized and honorable place in the social
structure. and his services are in con-
slant demand as a means OF relief for
human ills of divers kinds. ranging
from WEAKNESS after unusual exertion,
% really serious maadies, like rheuma-
tism.
Our New York contemporary thinks
that the fact that Western nations have
not taken the hint long ago is much
more surprising than the fact that at
last one doctor has called attention to
the neglected opportunity. 1t also thinks
that systematic teaching of the ancient
art in asylums of the blind would raise
those institutions almost to the rank Of
medical schools and their inmates from
helpless dependents upon public or pri-
vata charity TO exceedingly useful MEM
berg OF the community.
