The Municipal Election,

The election which takes place to.mor.
row is one Of great Importance to our
citizens. The question is whether we shall
have good and economical government or
one of favoritisln and extravaganza So
far as we can learn, the Republicans are
united on the candidates nominated and
determined to rebuke the demagogues
who have made our laws and dictated tho
policy Of the State. Indeed, it is matter
OF surprise that tho Republicans should
have been allowed to vote or be cleo. ed to
any office whatever, or if elected that thoy
should have been allowed to fill tho office
on any consideration whatever Indeed
the effort was made by Mr. Dickoy and
Solicitor Hartman to have the terms of the
present city officers extended until Nov.
cmber 1898, doing away entirely with TIE
election which takes place tomorrow.
This course wns ur ycd on the ground OF
economy, but at the same time these very
economical gentlemen had the salaries of
the State Detectives. Mcssrs. McVey and
Witsil raised from $500 to $1,000 per annum
the salary Of City Solicitor Hartman raised
from $500 to $3.50 ten new policemen ap.
pointed making an additional expendi uro
of $4,000 an inspector of ashes with a
salary of $500, beside the creation Of tho
office of inspector Of election at $500, be-
side other positions that must prove mere
snecures, making in the aggregate, in.

A REGULAR ROW.

The silver Democrats known as the DEM
ocratic League held meeting at their
rooms last evening, and had a regular
cat and poll-parrot time of it. From
words some of those present nearly came
to blows. The league adjourned without
pledging the support of its members, or
indorsing the Democratic ticket. This
looks like a knock. out blow for the Dem.
ocratic ticket at the election to be held
to morrow.

NEARING OF TIE GRAY.

The Dispatch would like 10 see the First
Regiment clad in gray as soon as posi-
BILE. Gray makes a uniform both dressy
and serviceable. Besides. IL is a color
dear 10 us from associations. IT was
the Confederate color; but long before
the Confederacy came into existence the
Flrst-certainly, most of the companies
OF the First--wore uniforms Of gray, and
ir that color il promptly took the field.
Gray cloth was scarce in the South at
all times. and at the beginning of hos
Titles the companies when formed had
TO content themselves with any color
and sort of uniform cloth they could pro-
cure. Often these cloths were hastily
gathered up in country towns and were
made up by the lady friends Of the vol
unteers who were TO wear them. And
there wero thousands who wore suits of
homespun-suits woven, cut, and made
up by our country women. And so II
happened that in the same regiment there
were many companies wearing cloths
Of different colors and shades. Usually,
however, the officers uniforms were of
the regulation gray. The Richmond
Blues discarded their fine dress uniform
Tor service uniform OF gray. The How
Tiers uniform was also of gray.
And many other companies raised hero

The Crenshaw woollen-mills, Of this
city, which were located on the south

Uniform cloth. 1t was Of the color and
texture OF cadet cloth" and was very
serviceable.
Tha Crenshaw gray was known and
, bought for In all this section Of The Con.
federacy. Some other mills in Virginia
and in the other states OF the South
also undertook the manufacture OF gray
cloth. and much of It came In on block
ade runners. but never was the sup
ply equal TO the demand, and at ali
times the price Of it was very high.

vICToRIA,s JUBILEE.

The wish OF all nations that Queen VIC
toria may live to see many returns OF
the anniversary OF her accession TO the
Throne is not an idle compliment. Tho
brilliancy OF the pageant that Is TO marx
tho celebration Of her Jubilee Is but a
reflection OF her reign, and the. homage
the love. and the respect that pageant
Will illustrate are but her due. Shs has
put honor upon sovereignty, womanhood'
wlfehood, and motherhood. and In each
of those relations has worn an unfair
nshed crown.
The sixty years Of Victorias rule con-
stituto one of Great Britain's greatest
history-maklng periods. And while 1t Is
true that I'm some respects she has not
as much power as has the President OF
the United States. 1t Is not true, as has
been frequently asserted, that she has
been a mere hgure-head. Her influence.
tact, and common sense have stood
Great Britain good stead in more than
one grave crisis. Time and again, du-
Ing storms at home and abroad, she mas
quietly poured oil upon the troubled
waters, with the result of averting Sc
rous complications, II not disaster. IL
her ministers have been the power be-
hind the throne. she has been a power be-
hind her ministers. and an equal con-
tributor with the several governments
OF her reign TO whatever OF honor ana
prestige has redounded to Great Britain
since she became queen. Monarchy Is
ennobled by having such a representa-
tive; the glory of true womanhood Is
made more glorious by such type OF
wife and mother.

WE MOVE TO AMEND.

In a recent article in the Contemporary
Review. A. V. Dicey, a distinguished Eng
lishman, proposes common citizenship
of all English-speaking people. His idea
is that an act of the Imperial Parliament
should make every citizen Of the United
states, during the continuance of peace
between England and America. a British
subject, and that simultaneously an act
Of Congress should make every British
subject. during the continuance Of such
peace. a citizen of the United States.
MIR. Dicey's idea is good enough as far
as A. goes, but it does not so far enough
10 III the measure of-sublimated Uto-
pianism. We would amend his PROPOSE
ton by providing that the United States
and Great Britain swap governments
every alternate year-or better still, that
each government be made up of "arf'
OF the government of the other country.
we admit that our amendment presents
difficulties not presented in the original
proposition, but surely the genius who
conceived the latter ought to be equal 10
any occasion.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-06-20
NOT ENOUGH MEN.

let rs hope that our police authorizes
win double or treble the number OF men
,,,noso dptv Il IS to patrol "the penitenu-
arv bottom" 1t IS locality into which
we doubt If a policeman should be sent
alone.
The Dispatch, in discussing this ques-
ton. has never failed TO pay trlDu'e
TO the fidelity of the officers WHO are
on duty there from time to time. No
but what we say is that the detaiis
made for this duty are not sufficient
More men are needed there. possibly
these might be secured by Withdrawing
some from other duties which are IN
significant in Importance in comparison
with the demands of this situation.
First "the bottom" ought to be freed
from the presence Of all suspicious cha-
racters. Ex-convicts, without visible
means of support. would come under
this heading. we suppose.
Next. policemen in couples or trios
ought TO be sent TO the bottom every
night and kept there. For the time be-
ing no other duty should BE expected
of them. The ex-convlcts and other dis
reputable and disorderly persons would
soon take their flight If they found that
arrangements had been made TO subdue
them into a state of peacefulness.
All these matters we commend to the
earnest attention Of our police authori-
ties. Let it not be said that they are
powerless to do more than they are
now doing. This cannot be. Surely the
resources of the department will not
utterly fail when a demand comes for a
few men to do extra duty for a little
while. The order-loving and respectable
people white and black, living upon the
borders of "the bottom await the time
when the neighborhood will be so con-
stantly and vigilantly patrolled that dis
orderly characters will fly from it as
from the muzzle of a loaded gun.
Again, we say that "the bottom" is
not a beat upon which a lone police
man should be put.

FACTS TO he REMEMBERED.

1. "rhe minority representation" plan
has not been used in Richmond in any
gubernatorial election contest for twenty
years.
2. In the gubernatorial contest OF 1899
There was a primary election and each
precinct here elected its own delegates.
3. Excepting Richmond and three Hen
rico precincts on the borders Of this city,
no other communities in this state have
adopted the minority plan. Everywhere
else the candidate who Is the strongest
gets the vote Of the election division
that Is voting for delegates 10 the Roa-
noke convention. In short, other COM
munities may easily give their solid votes
for their favorite candidates. while under
our plan our city is practically prohibited
from doing so.

THE MONUMENT ASSOCIATION.

The question has been raised here
whether the jefferson Davis Monument
Association, of which the Hon. j. Taylor
Ellyson is president. has any legal exs-
tence. 1t has been stated that it had
probably forfeited its charter because it
had not had annual meetings and cleo
tion of officers.
There is nothing at all In the point.
Ex-Judge George l.. Christian. one of the
corporators of the association, and a
member of the Board OF Directors from
the start, has given as his legal opinion
that the charter does not require the as
ISOLATION to have such elections. More
over, he declares that the proceedings
Of the association have been in all re-
spects regular and legal.
We may add, that the funds of the as
ISOLATION are all deposited in the State
Bank of Richmond, the president Of that
institution, J. S. Elicit, Esq, being the
treasurer of the association. Further;
There is a committee of the United Con-
federate Veterans--one from each State
charged with the duty of cooperating
with the Richmond association, and
that committee had a full and satisfac-
tory meeting here last summer, when
prizes were awarded for monument de-
signs.
OF course. It has been difficult to col
ect money for the monument fund since
this business depression settled upon the
country, but the affairs OF the associa-
ton are managed by gentlemen of we'll
known character and financial skill.
They have been watching and waiting
for the first turn in the business tide,
intending TO fiji the Southland with So
licitors for the fund. and this they Will
DO at the first favorable moment.
