George went to New York state

they met at the latter place and
travelled together. Mr.. Miller

TN roanoke World is puzzling its brain
over a problem. our contemporary says;
The gold people tell us that If we will
stop talking politics and free silver that
prosperity will be upon us before we
know It, In the same breath they declare
that free silver is dead For the life OF us
we cannot understand how a corpse can
stop such a mighty thing as prosperity
and confidence.
we think that we can help the World
TO a satisfactory solution. When the
gold Democrats say that free silver is
dead issue they mean 10 say that 1t is
doomed issue, an issue that can never
succeed. and an issue that in their opin-
ion. will be dead as a door-nail before an
other Presidential election rolls around
But our contemporary has noticed, no
doubt, that a chicken with its head cut
off can keep up a mighty flutter for some
time before it finally yields up the chest.
And so 1t is with the free silver issue.
It's head has been cut off, but 4 Is still
nuttering. and. as the Irishman said about
the decapitated turtle. 1.-The poor haste
is dead, but he is not yet conscious Of it,
If is this nuttering of the decapitated car
cass that is doing harm. 1t is the constant
agitation Of the silver question, and The
threat Of free silver that causes business
men. and especially capitalists of foreign
countries to be afraid to invest in fr'eri-
can enterprises.
1t is only a few days ago that we repro

England. and other noted fnanciers in

say that foreign capitalists had not yet
| regained their confidence in American Sc
clritles, because Of the unsettled condi-
ton OF our government finances. SO long
| as the free silver question is constantly
! agitated, and so long as the free silver
press and the free silver orators proclaim
that the 'fight yhas just begun and will
be renewed y 1863 Just so long will there
be more or less trepidation In the busl-
ness wofId.

THE CALL FOR BUSINESS MIN.

A laudable effort is being made in this
city to get practical business men who
have the material interests OF Richmond
at heart to run for the Legislature, but
We fear that the effort will not be sue
cessful. Business men are not disposed to
go into politics. We believe that there
are large numbers of such men in Rich
mond who would be willing to make the
sacrifice Of time required in filling a po-
sition OF this character, and il that were
the only question involved. no doubt plenty
Of candidates would be forthcoming But
there are other considerations: there are
other sacrifices 10 be made that the
average business man feels that he can
not. in justice TO himself, make.
Primarily. canvass must be made for
the nomina lions and afterwards for cleo
tion. and certain amount of political
work is necessary, work that is very dis
tasteful 10 all except such as love the
excitement OF politics. But. worse than
all, whenever "a business man accepts a
position of this character, he feels that
the public will conceive the idea that
he has got the political bee in his bon
net. and that he is going to give more at
ton TO politics than TO business. That is
a sacrifice which a business man can
not afford TO make, and which most of
them refuse to make. and hence the difh-
Guilty OF getting men Of affairs 10 go into
the Legislature.
1t Is most unfortunate that this should
be so. and we rather think that business
men eXaggerate the facts. II such a
man continually seek Office the public
will naturally come to the conclusion
that he thinks more Of politics than Of
business. but we can see no sufficient rea-
son why such an idea should be conceived,
simply because good citizen, in the
interest of the community in which he
lives, should consent. at the request OF
his constituents. to serve his community
In the Legislature.
Let such man come out and announce
himself at the request OF his fellow-citi-
zens 10 serve. and at the same time 10
announce that he does so solely for the
purpose Of promoting the welfare Of
Richmond. that he has no desire TO hold
Office. that he has no intention of going
permanently into politics, that he does
not propose 10 neglect his business affairs.
that when the Legislature shall have ad-
journed no will retire from public life,
and be found doing business at the old
stand and we believe that the public
will take him at his word. and that so
far from being injured. his business will
be benefited. and his reputation fer good
citizenship enhanced.

The Telephone Case.

The city of Richmond, for reasons
which II deemed sufficient, refused to re-
new the charter OF the Bell Telephone
Company, but Judge Con, OF the United
States Court, enjoined the city from in
terfering with the company in any way,
giving the company permission TO erect
new poles and put up as many new lines
as it wishes. The Young Mems Business
Association of Richmond has appealed tCl
tho business men 10 sustain only those
companies that submit 10 the city reg'l-
lations. 1t would seem that those citizens
who act otherwise feel very little pride
IN their city.-Staunton News:
The very ract that United States Judge
Goff has given TO the Bell Telephone
Company the right 10 operate its bust
ness in the city of Richmond without re-
newing its franchise and to erect poles
and string wires and do other things
necessary to successfully operate. has
caused the city Council and the Young
Mems Business Association to enter a
vigorous protest. The latter organization
at a recent meeting passed a resolution
by unanimous vote earnestly recommend
ing that the citizens of Richmond contne
themselves 10 the only company operating
under a franchise from the city Council.
There seems 20 be a general desire on
the part OF the two organizations TO Sc
cure the expulsion OF the Bell telephone
monopoly from the city. IL is much on
the same order as the fight experienced
here for a cheaper phone service. The
people have won here over the Bell
monopoly and will save % per cent. on
phone rentals. They will have a service
equally II not more satisfactory than the
old. and the Bell people have been forced
to reduce their rates 10 met competition.

One expression in Governor o'Ferralrs
interview in the Washington Post is apt
10 be misunderstood. The Governor does
not say that under no circumstances will
he support the ticket nominated at Roa-
noke, but that he will not do so. unless
there Is an opposition ticket in the field.
by this we understand the Governor to
mean THAT he will not voluntarily and
willingly cast his vote for the Roanoke
ticket, and thereby seemingly give his
approval OF the Chicago platform.
