The Richmond Book Scandal.

Richmond is agitated by start
ling sensation as q result OF the
charge made by Lee Camp OF Con
federate Veterans that one or more
members of the Grand Camps history
committee are in the employ OF the
American Book Company. A resolu
ton introduced by Major Thomas A
Brander at recent meeting OF Lee
Camp openly charges thatsuch is the
case and demands full investlga
ton. In speaking of his resolution
Major Brander is quoted us saying:
Il am in position to furnish evi.
dence that one or two members OF
the history committee of the Grand
Camp are in the employ at the Amer
lean Book Company"
In view of this statement from such
a source. rigid investigation is I'M
peratively demanded. If Major Bran
der's statement can be fully sustain
ed the members referred to should be
promptly expelled from membership
in the camp, and their disgrace puo-
lished to the world. The OBJECT OF
the history committee is to select a
textbook on history for use IN the
public schools OF the South, the de
sire being to secure the most truthful
and impartial one attainable The
participation Tin the work OF chooS'
ing such Il text book of men paid by
a book concern of unsavory reputa
tod would defeat the Grand Camps
object utterly. a man of honor
would not accept membership on the
committee while in the employ OIL
any firm of publishers, anu a firm
worthy of trust would not employ
such men.-Norfolk Pilot.

Fitz Lee has sailed again for Ha-

every Virglnian, that "he fits the

cannot dispense with his services as
consul General. He seems to be so
we'll suited to the responsible posi-
ton, in fact, that his retention in
office is commended by the great
body of republicans as we'll as demo-
Gratis of the country. He must have
filed the Office with great credit to
himself, when an administration en-
tirely out of sympathy with his polit
ical views, makes special request Of
him to hold on to the Office and con
tinue to discharge its responsible
duties. Every other democratic in
cumbent with paying Office has
either been put out or Teen permitted
to resign his Office under the present
administration, the resignation of
Fitz Lee only being refused. The
honor thus done him is, indeed, a
great one and speaks well for his fit
ness for the difficult post.

Ten years ago the were only st
miles of electric railway track in the
United States. Now there are over
$4,000 miles. In these ten years street
railway propulsion has been revolu
tionized. Horse cars have disappear
ed entirely from most of the lines and
will soon be curiosities, cable lines
have probably reached their maxi
mum mileage, while the number of
electrically operated cars has grown
from 172 to over 1000.
The article above, containing in
formation relative to the development
of electric railways, appears in late
issue OF the Railway Age. Why
could not Onancock and Drummopd
town be connected by such a railway

The republicans will have major
ity on joint ballot in the next Legis-
lature Of Ohio, and Mark Hanna will
be his own successor, unless a deal is
made, which 1t is now stated is posi-
BILE, by which the democratic mem
bers would combine with q few re-
publicans to prevent it. 1t is to be
hoped the information is incorrect.
Republicanism cannot be made more
odious than by having Mark Hanna
in power, to run Mckinley and the
Government to suit himself, and he
should not only be permitted to be
his successor but the democrats
of that State should insist that he be
allowed to be. Hanna in Washing
ton would be thorn in the side OF
the administration and democrats
surely ought not to want to remove
it, unless the dissatisfied republican
members of the Ohio Legislature
prefer democrat as the successor of
Hanna. A few more years of Hanna
would make the country willing to
consent to anythingf for change and
a democratic tidal wave might be
expected at the expiration of Nc
Kinley's term. 1t would surely dis
gust the people of the country as did
flour more years of Grover"

The republicans, it is now conceded
by the most sanguine democrats, will
have q majority in the next Legisla
ture of Maryland, and the question
OF a successor to Senator German is
now engaging the attention of the
party in power in that State. Five
republican statesmen already are
spoken of in connection with the
position, viz: Postmaster General
Gary, Governor Lowndes, Judge Nc
Comas, Congressman Mudd and Hon.
Charles J. Bonaparte-and we ven
ture the suggestion, that it would be
in accord with the fitness of things"
that some representative of the Bal
timore Sun be added TO the list. To
the great influence of that journal, it
is conceded, that republican victory
in the late campaign was due, and if
true, our republican friends should
not be ungrateful, and perhaps can
not afford to be. The Sun, might not
be so bright a luminary in their in
terest another time, if its merits are
neglected-and senatorship is but a
reasonable share "of the loaves and
fishes" to fall to a journal that can
change democratic State into re-
publican one at its pleasure. The

republican party to stay, but its pro
prietor might be persuaded that ii

Virginia Penitentiary.

Richmond, Va, Nov. 9.-The an
nual reports of the board of directors
and the superintendent of the Vir
ginia penitentiary, which were sub
mitted to the Governor today, show
that that institution made profit
this year of $54, 1874 81. This is thc
largest amount the prison has ever
earned in any one year. Indeed, I'M
til within recent years, the instltu-
ton was not self-sustaining. The
board again calls the attention of the
Legislature to the crowded condition
of the cells and state they are pre-
pairing to submit plans for improved
buildings. For the present." the
directors say, permit us to say, in
view of the money-making instltu-
ton that the penitentiary has be
come, we cannot see how our State
can avoid the obligation that 1t is
under to give decent cells and plenty
of breathing room to the men by
whose labor the public treasury has
become so large a beneficiary.

$4,000, 900 in Gold Next Spring

Butte, Mont, Nov. ELI. j. Gage,
of Chicago, son of Secretary Gage
and auditor of the American Trading
and Transportation Co, passed
through Butte on his return from
Dawson City, coming down from
Dawson on the last boat. He say 9
that the stories of the wealth OF the
Klonpike have not been exaggerated
and that the first boat down in the
spring will bring at least SIS, 100000
in gold.
Mr. Gage looks for other discoveries
in that country equally as rich as the
Klondike. He says there is at pres
ent about 1000 people in Dawson
City, and he predicts that thele will
be a great deal of suffering from the
fact that many men rushed in there
without sufficient provisions to last
them over winter. Two stores have
stopped taking orders for provisions
before he left, having sold out their
entire stock. The stock of the others
was getting very low.
