Great caro- and prudence have al
WAYS been exercised in the use
o. water. and yet the charges under the
meter system have been larger than they
werc formerly. However. We shall not
pursue this subject farther now. We
wish TO congratulate Richmond upon be-
ing so much better OF In the matter
Of n water supply than we were in 1881,
or than many other cities are now.
IT, happily for us. the popularity or
water.meters should ensure their gene
raj adoption here, and thus relieve US
Of the necessity OF putting up more
pumps. we may then industriously adj
dress ourselves to the question OF clarl-
flying our city water. James-river
water is Just now clear and sparkling
enough TO suit anybody. but 1t Is not
usually so. Indeed. It is oftener muddy
than otherwise, and the trouble is that 1t
takes weeks and weeks for 1t to clear
Itself by settling. But relieved OF the
question OF quantity, we shall have
more time TO consider the question OF
quality (clearness). and We have the
right TO believe that the problem VIII
not be one too difficult for solution,
when undertaken by the combined re-
sources of capital and science. Indeed,
who knows but that In the "electrify-
ing" OF the James a storage dam may
not have TO be constructed, which may
be used both for the purposes OF power
and for settling city water?

GERMANY AND GREAT BRITAIN.

A contemporary remarks that much
curiosity and more surprise are express
ed at the apparent neglect of Emperor
William OF Germany to send a telegram
to the Mad Mullah, congratulating him
on his capture of the Khyber Pass. Of
course. this bit of sarcasm was suggested
by the recollection OF Emperor Williams
congratulatory telegram to President
Kruger, Of the Transvaal republic.
Perhaps. however, since the Transvaal
telegram incident Emperor William has
come to think with Bismarck touching
the matter of getting al odds with Great
Britain. The old ex-Chancellor long ago
remarked, in effect, that the friendship
of Great Britain was worth more 10
Germany than would be the possession
by Germany OF the whole Upper Nile re-
gion. and recently he delivered himself
in about the same spirit.
Bismarck still has a powerful follow
ing throughout the German empire, and
his opinions on matters of statecraft still
carry great weight. His last utterancc In
regard to the advisabillty of Germany's
keeping on friendly terms with Great
Britain was called forth by HE French
rejoicing over the Franco-Russian al
lance. Emperor William is hot-headed
and impulsive. and 1t may be, as his critics
claim. that he talks too much. But he
Is not beyond the reach of sober second
thought. Indeed, he is not beyond the
reach of Bismarck's influence.
If Bismarck's view as expressed some
years ago, regarding the relations Ger
many should sustain towards Great Bril-
tain was sound, certainly 1t would seem
that its soundness has been emphasized
by recent Franco-Russian hobnobbing
While we do not believe that the Franco
Russian alliance involves anything like
the significance as against Germany that
the French seem to think II does, and
while, indeed, Bismarck treated the al
lance somewhat lightly, none the less,
the wise course for Germany would be
10 take nothing for granted. Bismarck
knows that whatever may be the express
stipulations OF the alliance, Russia win.
when the opportune moment arrives.
construe 1t just as may advantage her
most. Young William also knows this
fact, and no matter what his arbitrari-
ness and his past cuarrels with Bismarck.
1t Is hardly probable that he will ignore It,

ROADS AND CONvICTs.

Why cannot the able-bodied convicts
be probably employed in the cJnstruc-
ton Of roads? A general pan m.2nt he
devised, with proper safeguards looking
to the security as well as the heaiti, and
comfort of the convicts, and the utiliza-
ton of their labor in a manner which
will not conflict with free labor, but
will, on the contrary, relieve the people
of a disagreeable burden. The subject
deserves, and, IL Is to be hoped, will
receive, the thoughtful attention Of our
Lawmakers next winter.-The Lynchburg
News.
The State has entered into contracts
which call for about nine hundred men
and all Of the women prisoners. These
contractors pay into the State Treasury
about $4,000 per annum.
Again. o7ercrowded as the peniten-
tiary is, the prisoners are healthier and
better cared for there than they have
usually been when employed upon public
works. The reasons, probably, are that
after long confinement the men are not
able to stand the hard, rough work re-
quired of them, and that the quarters in
which they are huddled at night are no
better than Qf as good as) the prison
cells.
A plan to meet with favor from the
Legislature will have 10 be adjustable to
the States financial needs and recon-
cilable with existing contracts. We do
not say that such plan cannot be de-
vised, but we are sure it will not be an
easy task.

The Endenvor to Throttle Lurty md
Walker.
buckingham Register.)

| ttochlhSnam Register)
1t Is perhaps oflicious but the Regis
ter risks the improperly and enters the
ring OF Republican confusion and strife
In protest against the sacrifice of the
Lamb and his people, so wantonly and
| cruelty made at Lynchburg by the office
holders, seekers, and promoters a week
or so ago.
AS we understand 1t, the people-the
rank ana the file in the Republican, as in
the Democratic organization-are allowed
to imagine at least that they are the
power and that the various committees
of the party are merely the Instruments
appointed by them to carry into effect
their wishes. Now the Republicans have
at least respectable status as a party
In Virginia. They have organized in
counties, ofttimes controlled counties,
met in general conventions, and nomi-
mated their candidates for State offices;
carried their flag everywhere from sea
wave TO mountain crag in the belief
erroneous, to be sure-that they were a
party of progress as well as Of conserya-
tive influence
The doctrine Of the people as the rock
bottom OF authority has been so en-
phatically asserted that I'VE are the
people! has become the shibboleth of
their strange, hayward, and powerful
organization. The blow made at the
people by the oftice-holders, seekers, and
dispensers at Lynchburg, when they ar
bitrarily announced that there would be
no nominations by the party for State
Offices naturally shocked the senslbli-
ties Of such patriotic statesmen as Gene
raj James a. Walker. Captain Warren
S. Lurty, ct i'd genus omne, who entered
the Republican party without any desire
for office, but only for the good Of their
country.
Messrs. Brady, Allan, and Waddlll are
not the men to dictate TO such patriots
as are named above. IL this wrong is
allowed to be perpetrated the end of the
Republican party in Virginia may be
dated as Of the year 1857, when political
brokers were permitted to say 10 the
Republican people that they shall not
assert their beliefs and vindicate their
convictions by naming and supporting
their own candidates for high State
offices.
II the commander of the Stonewal
Brigade is driven by tyranny from his
party, there is still place left for him
in the Democratic ranks, and the klns-
man of Stonewall Jackson, eloquent en-
thusiastic, chivalrous, may be extended
the same assurance. Lurty, we believe,
will be beaten il nominated by his people
in defiance of the edct of the Allan
Brady cabal, and he is mistaken when
he prophesies Republican success. He
might ride through ten counties, and
ten times ten counties on a sorrel mare
of Kentucky, or any other strain Of
blood, and still a majority Of the voters
of Virginia could never be induced TO
follow blooded mare or plumed knight.
tail or feather. to the vulture and the
rock of political despair.
The Register can take no part In this !
family fight. but we bespeak in advance |
the sympathies of our gifted, sonorous.
and much esteemed contemporary. the |
Spirit OF the Valley, in behalf of the |
Waddill-Brady combination.

Just Think of 1t.
In this funny old world

In this funny old world
With rare guerdons impaired,
Foe which man has natural thirst;
There is many a thought
With such recompense fraught.
To the fellow who thinks Of 1t first
Deeply hidden away
Since the earth's natal day,
In the nebulous somewhere immersed
There are germs that will bloom
With bank-account boom
To whoever discovers them first.
So just wipe off the dust
From your cerebral crust,
Make your thinker with blossoms to
burst;
And you'll mine out a think
That will go on you with chink
If you hustle and dig it out first.

constitutional Amendments and Re-
ductfons I'm Appropriations.

Richmond, Va. September Z. 1897.
Editor Free Lance. Fredericksburg. Va:
My Dear Sir,--Acknowledging receipt
of your esteemed favor OF the 4th instant.
! beg to say that 1t would give me plea
sure to avail myself of your kind offer
to express my views as to what legisa-
tive action should be taken next winter
upon the questions which are now inte-
resting the people, the more so because
OF the fact that your paper has a wide
circulation and influence among a large
number OF my constituents.
/ have been for a number of years past
in the General Assembly, and a member
of the Finance Committee, before which
committee would naturally come some
of the questions to which you allude, and
especially those relating to the State
revenue. i know that in the past the
committee has labored earnestly In the
line OF developing new subjects for taxa
ton, and as far as possible. in keeni~~
down expenses. I am free to say tnat
the problem is as difficult a one as con-
fronts the representatives of the people
when they assemble. IL you undertake
to curtail expenses you have to stem a
perfect torrent, for every one who is af-
fected has friends, and those friends
have friends, and many, II not most of
them, come In person to see about IL.
If you touch new subject for taxation
you Immediately hear from that side of
the house. and the array that they pre-
sent is only equalled by the demonstra-
ton 10 which l have just alluded 1t
takes all the nerve that an ordinary man
has, as a general thing TO keep the ship
along the course that she has to go in
order to avoid running on the rocks.
But the issue has got to be met square
ly, and l hope we will be able To reach,
possibly, class of property which
now escapes taxation to a certain ex-
tent, and at the same time, by careful
revision OF our appropriation bills, 10
save something here and there, so that
when the balance is struck we will be
safely inside the danger line.
Just what constitutional amendments
should be submitted, and just what re-
auctions should be made in the appro-
priations l am not prepared to say. All
can do is 10 give the most patient.
thoughtful, and careful study to each
proposition as 1t is advanced that / am
capable of doing, and men come to that
determination which seems to me most
likely TO accomplish what is desired, and
hang on TO that determination like grim
death. To paraphrase the language of a
very distinguished statesman Of times
past IN virginia, Il know that by such a
course l may incur the anathemas of the |
individuals affected, but l shall not forget |
mat L have my country TO serve"
Very faithfully yours,
IL. T. WICKHAM

Like Bold Defiance.
Rockingham Registerl

Colonel Brady says he has not removed
any of the old employees In the Collec-
tors office in Richmond. and has, there
fore, not violated the civil service rule
which forbids such removals except for
proper cause. He has simply refused
to reappoint' the members OF his prede-
cessor's staff. Colonel Bradys action
looks like a bold defiance OF the Presi-
dents order in this regard and is point
edly in opposition to Secretary Cages
recent order The case has been appealed
to the authorities at Washington. and
il Will be interesting TO note the official
distinction between removing" and re
fusing 10 ieappoint" an officer who Is
supposed TO be protected by the civil

General Longstreet, who married q
very young bride this week, exclaimed,
gleefuly: II am not old at all! You
don't know what life is till you reach
my age" AS long as the grayest of the
gray can say this, eternal youth is in
his soul.-The Baltimore American.
Whether the General was too old or too
young to get married it Is now too late
to discuss, but we must commend his
good sense for always having an ear
trumpet swung to his side, and for not
putting it aside, even upon his wedding
day. He is nearly deaf and he knows 1t,
and he knows that the public knows ii.
SO to save his friends from danger Of
splitting their threats when talking to
him, he provides an ear trumpet. There
are hundreds OF men who are just as
deaf as the General who are not so con-
siderate of their friends as he is in this
respect. AS rule, men who have bad
eyesight do not mind wearing glasses,
but those who are deaf seem to be sensi-
tive about admitting that deficiency
though to conceal it is impossible.

here, but the distances that one may
ride for one fare are extraordinary 1t

Mrs. Antonio de Navarro, who was

mics the report that she is TO become
a public singer. She says she has pro-
missed TO sing one evening in little

and that this is the sole foundation for
the rumor that she was about to make
debut on the concert platform. She

assiduously cultivsting her singing

The distinguished leader Of the Re-
publican party in Virginia, Colonel
Brady, has letter in the Baltimore Sun
Of yesterday explaining that his course
with respect 10 the revenue Office re-
movals here does not meet with the dis
approval OF Secretary Gage. Perhaps
not; but that only shows that Gage is
good instrument to carry out the pre-
tended civil-service views of the Repub-
lcan party. Yet we have some hope
that the Civil-Service Commission and
the President will take a different view
from that held by Brady, Wilson, and
Gage. If they do not, then the country
will fully understand what it strongly
suspects-that the friendship Of the Re-.
publican party for the civil-service sys-
tenn is the same sort of friendship that
the wolf has for the lamb.
