Mr.. Belmont Makes Another Gift
10 the Park.
Tn: Park Commissioners Hav. Accepted
the Very Generous Tender.

Several weeks ago, previous TO his departure
for Europe, Mr. Oliver II. r.. Belmont of New
port presented to the city for an addition to
Roger Williams Park a collection of valuable
animals and birds They were on Mr. Bel
mout's farm at Newport under the care OF
two turbaned Asiatic experts, andsso far as
the menagerie went, IL was one OF the finest
in the country. Among the ANIMALS were
valuable deer and gazelles rare birds and
choice specimens from many lands. They
were the product of collection made by Mr..
Belmont, who has been much interested in
such things The generous gift was accepted
by the park commissioners and steps were
taken To provide n suitable place for the
collection at the park. Workmen have been
engaged IN making ready for the valuable
and considerable addition 10 the menagerie
and before long the quarters will be ready for
their tenants.
A couple of weeks ago Mr.. Belmont returned
from his trip abroad, and the park commission
ers sent him letter of thanks for his gener-
ous gift. Mr.. Belmont replied, expressing his
qualification that the animals we've to add To
the attraction of the city's big playground,
and that the commission had made adequate
provision for their reception Mr.. Belmont's
letter was received this morning at the office
OF the park commission, and it also stated that

Indian cattle, known as the sacred cattle,

The only cases set down for hearing in

criminal appeals. There is n long list OF
them. but, judging by the rapidity with
which a number of them were disposed
Of today. the Gefendants are not very

Value of Hard Times.

The Popocrat hates to see his stock
in trade vanishing. He knows that his
theories received an enormous vote last
fall because there were thousands of
men who would have listened to divine
healers, soothsayers or trance mediums
if they had nominated a candidate upon
platform pledging better times. But
now the Popocrat is in despair. Busi-
ness is becoming excellent all over the
country, silver is falling, wheat is ris-
ing, and Mr.. Bryan, the only man who
could accomplish anything toward pros
perity, has had nothing to do with it
He is touring in the Yosemite Valley
and is preparing to go to Mexico.
But the Popocrat is the bulldog OF
the political kennels. He won't let &C

Politics in Virginia.

A state election is to be held in Vir-
ginia this year, and her regular demo-
cratic leaders are holding frequent con-
situations to decide how they can best
adhere to the doctrines Of the Chicago
platform in the coming campaign, and
at the same time give plausible explain
atoms to the voters for the great i'm
provements which have come to the
general business of the country, and
more especially to the State of Virginia,
since the recent special session of Con-
gress enacted the Dingley law.
Congressman Peter j. Otey, who is
also the representative from Virginia
on the National Democratic Committee,
decided not long ago that he ought to
give his brethren some good advice by
sounding what would generally be con-
sidered key note. In congress and
on the stump in Virginia he has loudly
and repeatedly declared against the
Ubiquitous system of protection which
"has impoverished the farmer, reduced
labor, both skilled and unskilled, to a
condition of servitude, brought num-
berless woes and untold burdens upon
the masses for the benefit of the classes,
made the rich richer and the poor
poorer"
OF late, however, Congressman Otey
has sung a new song, on his discovery
that Virginia is 6ourishing. Her to-
bacco, her oyster, her coal and wheat
products are larger this year than ever
before, and the total value of her man.
ufactured products in the year 1897 will
exceed one hundred million dollars.
These are very hopeful signs of Vir-
ginia's coming prosperity, but somehow
they do not confirm Congressman
Otey's declarations that the price of
wheat, corn, tobacco and other agricul-
tural products and of silver are linked
together in bonds that cannot be
broken, and that the prices of farm
products were coincident with and de-
pendent upon that of silver.
Congressman Otey has somehow to
face this discrepancy between his state
ments and the actual facts. If he
neglects to mention silver while re-
ferring to Virginia's increasing pros
perity he realizes that the voters may
doubt both his words and his good
sense. He has therefore given to the
press an open letter in which he says:
"The main point is that everything has
increased in Virginia except values.

The cotton mills are starting up again
gradually and there is steady buying,
though it is not heavy. There is prom
Use of better crop in this staple than
there was last year. The loss from the
overflows is estimated as lower than
was expected, and predictions have
been made which set the crop at TO-
800, 900 bales. The business in boots
and shoes is more active, and the lea
ther men are finding that the manufac-
turers have large stocks on hand. But
these will soon be gone, and higher
prices prevail now in the leather mar
ket. Dry goods are creeping up, too,
and the local jobbers are having much
better business than at this time in
1896, in spite of the refusal of the rail-
roads to concede lower rates to intend
ing buyers, an inducement New York
and Philadelphia jobbers can offer.
The railway earnings are affected by
the coal strike and by slowly moving
business in the Southwest But gross
receipts and net earnings have gained
slightly, and the big wheat trade il
helping materially. Business failures
are, of course, fewer than they were
this time last year, when the uncertain
ty of the approaching election caused
the downfall of so many tottering con
Germs. Last week there were 221 fail
ures, or 33 fewer than in the same weel
