THE VIADUCT.

Steady progress is being made by the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railway Company
in arranging TO build it's vaduct and
depot here. Most of the right-of-way
has been acquired, but there are still
some vexatious questions of that charac-
ter to be settled.
During the past week several promi-
nent bridge-builders were here making
estimates for the viaduct work. In
other directions, too, the company is
keeping steadily in view its promise to
our people to build fine depot in this
city and establish the best possible con-
nections for the transit Of its trains
through Richmond.
The "electrifying' Of James river is
scheme that harmonizes we'll with the
viaduct project. Most Of the water
power here and in Manchester is owned
by the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
Company, and if it could be disposed
Of. as is proposed, the company would
have a large fund specially applicable
TO terminal improvements. Moreover,
Richmond would be then given an i'm
portance as an electrical manufacturing
centre second only 10 that OF Niagara.
The great electric-works at Niagara
are rapidly building up that town, and
are giving life and activity also to near
by towns. What has been done al
Niagara it is proposed to do here upon
a smaller scale, of course-but still upon
a scale of great magnitude.
To both of these promising schemes
the people Of Richmond should give
| their enthusiastic support The genera
business of the country that has beer
stranded so long is now about TO move
off again, and we ought to make sure
that Richmond puts itself in a position
to catch the favoring tide.

They are Just as sensitive about their
welcome as any Confederate veteran
could be. a sensitiveness which extends
10 even the cities In the North and West
in which they meet. You often hear
them commenting, favorably or unfayo-
rably. on the enthusiasm or the lack
of T. shown in the various cities in
which they meet. Even in private life

than in our own home, and that we
sharply notice delinquencies I'm the
former which would pass unregarded in
the latter. It is the heartiness OF the
Individual welcome in the towns they
visit. more than the perfunctory or
ganized welcome that makes, as far as

frends-that warm welcome that per-

FRANCO-RUSsIA ALLIANCE.

All France seems to have flown off
the helve over the allusion OF the Gar
of Russia 10 the alliance" between the
Russian Empire and the French Repub-
lie. 1t had been long understood that
some sort of friendly agreement exist
ed between the two Powers, but never
it seems, was that agreement termed
by high authority an ALLIANCE" until
on the occasion of Faure's visit to Rus
STA the Car so termed it.
Now the French press is suffering
from a violent attack Of Chauvinism.
| There is talk of the near APP
proach OF the hour when Alsace-
French populace are indulging in

But the practical point is. What
is, the alliance" against? That

and inspired such widespread hope in
the republic. the echo OF the Russian
applause over the meeting OF William

died out. Moreover, 1t Is known that

In view of these facts and OF recent

THE CATTLE BUSINESS.

The driving OF cattle through our
streets at untimely hours and by uh-
suitable routes continues TO excite the
INDIGNATION of the many persons who
suffer by this annoyance. 1t Is mat
ter that the City Council should give
carly attention to. Ordinances shou'u
be passed strictly regulating the trafhc.
We hope It will not be long before our
city has a union stock-yard and pubic
abattoir, but there is no reason why the
public should suffer meanwhile from the
annoyance In question.
Rigid yet reasonable rules should be
laid down for the driving Of cattle
through our streets. Hours for the doing
OF this work should be prescribed. FAR
ticularly should cattle be kept OH the
streets on Sunday mornings, wheh
crowds OF women and children are on
their way TO Sunday schools anu
churches. And for each drove there
ought to be plenty Of competent drivers
IL is not a work that ought to De en-
trusted TO boys. as is often the practice
now. Again, provision should be made
for the immediate removal OF the carcass
Of any COW. sheep. or hog that may
drop dead along the route.
All these things can and should be
done They are reasonable and proper,
and are in the interest Of the general
public. We invoke the attention Of the
City Council to this subject. and hope
It will act promptly and spiritedly
so far as the establishment of union
stock is concerned, we believe t Is
bound TO come-but when" we know
not. There are many obstacles In the
way. The topography of the city, view
ed with relation 10 the lines or rail-
way entering here presents a difficulty
Of no small proportions. Quite naturally
too. there is some rivalry between the
railroad companies as to where the yard
should be located. Each company Is
looking out for business. and we sup
pose would like to have the yard as con-
venient TO its own tracks as possible.
Another phase of the case Is that In
which the cattle brokers are most deep
ly interested. This is the question OF
transfer rates-rates for the shifting OF
cars from the tracks Of one company
to those Of another, in order to reach the
stock-yards. Unless fair and reason
able charges can be arranged for, no
stock-yard can be made a SUCCESS; nor
indeed, will any capitalists be found
ready to invest their money in it. The
yard must not only commend itself for
its conveniences, but for its economy
i'm handling stock. So the transfer
charges ought to be low-much lower
than they are now.
Public inspections Of cattle and meat
are also needed here. Nor need we
wait for the union stock-yard before we
establish them. OF course they could
be better made at such yard than at
the yards that now exist, but they are
not impracticable in our present situation
even.
1t is time to be making a start in these
enterprises. First Jet us regulate the
driving Of cattle through. our streets.
Next let us establish inspections Of cat
tie and meat. Then let us have the union
stock yard, to be followed in time by
the public abattoir. The two first move
ments may be successfully made now,
and they will pave the way for the
others.
