AS A TRADING POINT.

Mcna is rapidly becoming noted for many miles around as a desira- able trading point, and many peo- pie from this and adjoining coun- ties are seen on our streets daily, coming many miles, to procure their supplies.
 The fact that since the arrival of the railroad the merchants do ing business here are enabled to sell goods at much lower prices than any of the merchants in the surrounding country have ever been able to, is bringing trade to this city, and trade that is very desirable as it is strictly cash ex- ccpt where the farmers bring pro duce which is the same as cash and always brings good prices.
 Our merchants tell us of farm CTS coming hero from Montgom- cry and other adjoining counties to lay in supplies for the winter for tho use of their families; also of country merchants coming here to replenish their stocks of goods, all showing that Mena will ere long become not only a good re- tail but also a good wholesale trading point

Electricity is getting to be a great motive power being used for many purposes heretofore un- known and not thought of. From experiments already made there IS no doubt but that before many years it will become the motive power for the great railroad lines, as it is now for street railway and trolly lines between towns. The facts as reported that arrange ments arc now being made to transmit 10000 horse power from Niagra Falls to Buffalo, a distance of twenty-six miles, gives some idea of the use that will be made of electricity in the near future as power for manufacturing pur- poses. In this connection 1t may not be unwise 10 suggest that Tn the not far distant future some mountain stream near here may be harnessed and plant estab- lished to transmit electrical power to Mena to run the various manu- featuring establishments, street railways, etc, to be built here.

"NEw TERRITORY FOR KANSAS
 CITY"

There is little doubt but that tho building of the Port Arthur route and its completion to the Gulf will prove a great advantage to Kansas City as well as to the country along the line and especi- ally those sections like Western Arkansas which have heretofore been without railroad connections. Under the above quoted headline tho Kansas City Journal, among other things, says:
 ''It is announced that tho Kan sas City, Pittsburg 6 Gulf rail road will be completed to Port Arthur by March 1, and that very little later the northern conncc- tions between Kansas City and Pattonsburg will be made, thus completing a short line from Omaha to tho Gulf of Mexico, via Kansas City. There is nothing new in this announcement save the approximation of the time when the new system shall have been completed. While the pro- jectors of the Port Arthur route are branching out in northern and northeastern directions. through their allied interests, Kansas City remains the base of operations and will remain the center most benefited by the joint enterprises.

The January Arena is the most interesting number that has ap- peared in many months. It IS of special interest to legislative bodies, physicians and lawyers on account of the article on "A Court of Medicine and Surgery" written bv A. E.

The Lynchburg News joins the Dispatch
in urging that the General Assembly pro-
vide without delay for making the Capt.
toll building freproof. The News says:
1--WE desire most heartily to unite In
this invocation to the Legislature for
precautionary steps against this great
danger destruction by fire.. We do this
without seconding the efforts of a Camp
bel-county member Of the Legislature
a few years since to have the State CAPT
tai changed from Richmond TO Lynch
burg"
The News also gives a condensed his
tory of the building, in which it refers
TO the Houdon Washington. and adds:
1--WE said above that the loss or mutt
lation of the Houdon statue Of Wash
ington would be a calamity 10 the
whole country, and not alone to the peo-
pie of Virginia. 1t is the most life
like representation in existence Of the
immortal chieftain."
Indeed would the destruction OF the
Houdon Washington be an irrepara5le
loss. Its value is beyond estimate. 1t
is the standard marble OF Washington,
and in that sense is priceless, and is
equally priceless purely as an example
Of Houdon, and from a standpoint of
art.

pETyEEN SEASONS.

II IA betweon seasons in politics. The
fae-end of one administration Is merging
into tho beginning of another; and. as Is
usually the case under such con-
ditions. matters political are getting
pretty dull. The Cabinet possibilities
havo been pretty well exhausted except
IN n few instances. the timber for am
bassadors. ministers, and consuls seems
TO have been laid over for future inspec-
ton, and but little Roadway Is peing
made in preparing legislation Tor Con-
gress. save as to the tariff.
However. the Ohio senatorial question
relieves the situation from absolute stag
nation. This question is becoming more
complicated and more interesting not
to say more amusing. every day. Inc
latest explanation OF Forakers having
dug up the Ratchet and again declared
war on the Sherman faction, by debating
the appointment OF Jones as Sherman's
successor in the Senate for the I'M
expired term, is that he doesn't reish
Hanna as yoke-mate. We should fancy
not. Foraker will take his seat In
the United States Senate with the ad-
vent OF the new Congress; and had
every reason to believe that, In view OF
Sherman's declining years and mellow
ing temperament, he would prove a pyro-
technic success that would throw his
aged colleague entirely in the back
ground. Indeed. the public were look
ing forward to Foraker's senatorial ca
reor as promising a continuous Fourth
of July and Chicago confagration, all in
one-a career that would be marked by
incessant fireworks detonations, and i'm
part an unfading crimson tinge to the
circumambient atmosphere.
But, should Hanna succeed in getting
into the Senate, both Foraker and the
public would suffer a grave disappoint-
ment. The former would have to take
back seat. and the latter would be de-
prived OF a picnic and spectacular per-
formance Hanna would sit at the head
Of the Ohio table. and quench Forakers
pyrotechnic display and mufile his alarm
bell as soon as the one was let off or the
other started to ring.
In the mean time, while Foraker Is
congratulating himself on having pre-
vented Hanna's appointment TO the Sen
ate by Governor Bushnell. Sherman, it
is said, is considering the question of
getting even with Foraker and Bushnell
by withdrawing his acceptance Of a Cabi-
net portfolio. Whether this be true or
not, IL Hanna stands for the full term in
the Senate, he will be very apt TO get
there: and then. perhaps, he won't teach
Foraker a lesson in eating humble-pie.

PROTECTION TO DEPosIToRs.

Should the scheme for the protection OF
depositors by Congress be successful
would il not annihilate the State banks
with such banks unprovided for, as the
Dispatch would leave them? Who would
deposit money in a State bank when the
depositor in a national bank would feel
that he had the backing of the whole
United States Government?-HanoVer
County Herald
The United States Government has al
ready at hand most Of the official ma
chinery necessary to try the experiment.
If It should try it and find that the
scheme can be made to work satisfac-
torily, then our State might follow I'm the
footsteps of the Federal Government
We do not think that Virginia could be
induced at this time to enter upon an
experiment Of its own. So we are willing
for the United States-if they mean TO
continue in the banking busiDess-to do
the experimenting, with the privilege re-
served to us of adopting the system or
not. as we may see Mt.
AS to depostors deserving the State
banks, we are not so confident as the
Herald is. OF course no depositor would
wish to place his money where it would
be in danger, but there IS large class
Of depOsltors who patronize the banks
that promise them the largest line Of dis
counts. This Of itself, would have a
tendency to check the rush TO national
banks Customers would not rashly de-
sert a bank that had always extended
them generous accommodations However,
as we have said, If the National Govern
ment could make a success Of the scheme,
our State could easily profit by its ex-
amnle

which would extend from Byrd street "
the river bank could be built OF open
work. like the elevated roads or ne"

ones brains being knocked out py the
trestle on Seventh street would also oe
averted.
Why a serious accident has not yet
happened at this point II Is dlfncult
to understand, especially In the case
Of the crowded summer-cars to Forest
Hill Park. The Improvement In tho
route Of the street-cars would. IN my
judgment be so pronounced, that the
company should be willing TO bear
fair proportion of the cost Of raising the
bridge. the remainder 10 be distributed
between the Chesapeake and Ohio Com
pany. Richmond, and Manchester d.
vidod In this way into four parts, the

think that the bridge. altered as indi-
Gated. would be a substantial improve

appearance than II lowered. as Is now
proposed. The Chesapeake and ONO
trestle passing under the bridge, could
be entirely covered for some distance
on either side, II necessary, so that
teams crossing would not be interfered
with. Should the clearance not be suf-
flcient TO allow the trains 10 pass under,
the trestle could be slightly depressed
without any ill-effect whatever.

we presume he is saving wood.
The C. & O. vinduct.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
It would be a great pity for the Chesa-
peake and Ohio's magnificent plans for
improvements at Richmond to fall through
from any cause. About two months be-
fore Colonel Murphy announced his plans
for the Theatre corner | remarked 10 a
friend that that was one of the best sites
in the city for large dry-goods or cloth
ing store. Encouraged by my correct
forecast in that case, / am going to try
my hand on the bridge problem. Tho
present plan is. ] believe, to have the
Chesapeake and Ohio trestle go over the
Free bridge, and. consequently, to lower
the bridge. II will be noticed that there
Is already considerable grade from the
bridge TO Byrd street. ! do not think II
would be well to increa@" this grade.
