MIR. pEFrER's GOOD EXAMPLE.

The Western papers are commencing
Senator PETER for having such a high
appreciation Of the dignity Of his Office
that he has refused to leave his post
OF duty in Washington for the purpose
of descending to the level Of petty poll
tician in making n personal scramble for
votes 10 re-elect him.
We join our esteemed Western con-
temporaries in this tribute. which IS de
served. We cannot say that we admire
either Senator PETER or his politics. but
he has. in this matter, set an example
which his brother senators should emu
late. With the average United states
senator the main question seems TO be
TO get back. and in the face Of such an
important matter as this, senatorial dig
nifty is thrown to the winds.
We are glad that Mr.. PETER Is not one
OF these. A Populist is not exactly the
man we would select 10 teach the prin-
ciples Of government. but Senator PETER
seems TO be cmlnently qualified 10 give
instructions on questions Of propriety.
Nav his whskers never grow shorter
and happy new year to him.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1897-01-15
TWAS THE FAILURE WE EXPECTTD.

II IS Just as we expected. The Indian
apolis Monetary Convention has met.
done a great deal of talking. done moth
ing else. and adjourned. The appoint
mcnt of their commission was all very
well in its way. but Of what good is
commission. when no recognized evil Is
referred TO 1t for measures that will cure
the evil? II the convention had taken
a mastery grip upon the subject and
had pointed out to the country that the
evil in our financial system is the fact
that the national bank act concentrates
all banking resources and circulating
medium I'm the cities. leaving the country
people with neither banking conveniences
nor circulating medium. II would have ar
rested the attention of the whole coun-
try. n would have started discussion OF
the subject. and then such measures as
it's commission might bring forward to
cure that recognized evil would have
commanded the serious consideration Of
the people. But as matters stand. the

WE GREET THE VALLEY.

The merchants Of Richmond Will gladly
meet the overtures of the people from the
Valley Of Virginia, and we can promise
our friends In that section the best mar
ket and the lowest prices if they will como
here or send here TO purchase their sup
plies. Many Of them who came TO Rich
mond some time ago on a shopping expe-
dition were more than pleased. we feel
assured, with their purchases and with
the magnificent display of goods which
they found here. Richmond merchants
are live and up TO date. and both in the
wholesale and the retail departments are
quite able 20 compete with the merchants
OF Baltimore There is no reason Under
the sun why the trade OF tho Valley
should go TO the northern cities instead
Of coming to the State capital. We are
all Virginians and we should try 10 help

interests; here are the monuments TO
our great chieftains and here are the
most hallowed and sacred associations
of State history. Richmond is the capt

ton in Virginia. 1t always has a warm
welcome for Virginia people. whether
they come on bushes. in an official capa-
city or in a social way. There IS some
thing more than dollars and cents in all
this. 1t is fraternity. and Richmond would
cultivate spirit of fraternity with the
people Of the Old Dominion. 1t has been

Valley than whom are no grander people
ON earth. have turned their faces toward
the cities Of other States and have cul-

with their own city on the James. Let
them turn about Let them come to
Richmond and we assure them Of warm
welcome and advantageous trading.
