NKINLEY,s NEW YORK SPEECH.

There was nothing very striking IN the
speech President Mckinley made Thurs
day night at the banquet of the National
Association of Manufacturers. Its chiei
virtue was in it's brevity. IL is true that
his remark that. happily" one of the
Republican policies-the tariff-"had been
engrafted into public statute" may be
regarded as somewhat Of happy mt,
considering the occasion, and his au-
dience. and the interest the latter so
largely represented. The remark must
have touched a responsive chord, seeing
that the Dingley tariff was intended to
make the combines and the eastern
manufacturers happy-and has done so.
Indeed we know it touched responsive
chord. for. although the reporters OF the
other New York papers appear to have
slipped a cog or been mapping at this
point. the Tribune, the ever-faithfui
mentor of the administration, and the
acknowledged chief mouthpiece of the
nrincinal beneficiaries of the Dingley act,
punctuates the remark with bracketed
applause"
For the rest. the Presidents speech
was case of "still harping on my
daughter" It was devoted mainly to the
currency question. and consisted, for the
most part. Of portions of messages and
previous addresses Of Mr.. McKinley's,
worked over. There was nothing definite
an il. and no promise of reform. In SEEK
ing refuge in quoting the financial plank
of the st. Louis platform, the PRESIDENT
flashed. as usual, before the eyes of the
silver Republicans the ignis fatuus Of
free silver by international agreement
but that performance was more calcu-
lated to excite merriment than any other
emotion.
The Presidents reference to the ditii-
culties in the path of satisfactory re-
form was simply his way of recognizing
what the people had already recognized,
and that is that there will be no reform
so long as the Republican party con-
tinues in power. That party may tenn
porize and juggle with the question for
the purpose of further deceiving the
masses. if possible, and maintaining its
grip on those whose faith in its promises
has been stronger than their discern
nent was clear But when it comes TO
the test it will be found that Republican,
ism is bound to the existing order Of
things fnancial--is yoked to the car of
the golden juggernaut.
However, since the country has come
10 appreciate that the Republicans do not
mean really to do anything with the cur
rency question. and consequently BUSH
ness is not likely to be seriously dis
turbed by discussing that question, we
can unite with President Mckinley in
saving. LET agitation continue" We
can unite with him In saying. Discus
sion will not hurt, but will help the cause.
There are in the country many earnest
currency reformers. who have been and
are still intelligently and laboriously
studying the problem. The views Of
All such men are entitled to respect.
The ventilation of their theories should
be encouraged, to the end that what is
practical and good In all may be utilized
and harmonized. when the masses, by
restoring the Democratic party TO power,
shall have brought about the conditions
under which only real currency reform is
pOssibiC.

Our people are opening their eyes to the
condition OF their streets. Main, Broad
and Ninth, streets. which should be our
best paved thoroughfares, are among the
very worst. They are uncomfortaoie 10

they discredt us in the estimation OF all
strangers who come here. We are not

whether the cost OF this work should
be imposed upon the AUDITING property
owners. in whole or in part. or should DO
borne by the city entirely, is another mat
ter. No doubt the right conclusion VIII
be reached as to that when the Droad
subject Is taken up for consideration.
But the first step now necessary Is 10
arouse the City Council to realization OF
the fact that Richmond will be put TO
shame unless we provide better Sidewalks
for our principal thoroughfares! we are
not so poor that we need'to hang out
sign to advertise our poverty.

ton to the cleaning OF these great ave-
nues of trade. This is no new complaint
but is one that has been heard for years.
Ill-paved and ill-kept streets not only
impress visitors unfavorably, but exercise
a depressing influence upon our own citi-
zens. Richmond must do better; we can
not afford to look shabby and run down
as the heel, as 1t were.
We are glad to find the people generally
awakening TO the demands of the situa-
ton. and we believe the result will be a
change for the better.

NEWSPAPER LICENSE TAX.
To Ask for n Rehenring-The Oyster
Industry.


NORFOLK. VA. January 2s.-(SpeciaD
Messrs. Goods & Taylor, attorneys for
the newspapers OF this city, who sought
to restrain by injunction the collection
OF license-tax assessed by the City
Council on the publishers Of daily ana
weekly newspapers, stated to-day that
they would ask an immediate rehearlng
OF the case. The publishers secured a
permanent Injunction from Judge Prem
tbs. of the City Circuit Court, which Is
set aside by the Supreme Court of APP
peals' decision. Had the decision that
the city could levy NJ tax not assessed
by the State stood, licenses TO the
amount OF some $4,000 per year would
have been invalidated.
According to Mr.. l.. C.. Ironmonger,
large oyster dealer OF York county. con-
ditons prevailing In the counties de-
pendent upon the oyster Industry Tor
their chief revenue are not encouraging.
He says: "Our oysters are our principal
crop. and for two years they have been
green. rendering them unstable. They
are just as good to eat as any others; In
deed, better because they are latter
when in that state If our Legislature
could see the suffering occasioned by 1t
the unemployed men. the vessels Idle AT
their anchors, and the utter prostraton
of business in the oyster country-they
would not tax the industry to death.
They speak of the thousands OF acres OF
battle-ground unoccupied etc. After
the Baylor survey the business took
boom. Everybody that could raise dol
lar invested in oysters The consequence
was that the river was overstocked. ana
the oysters are extremely poor Take
any river on the Chesapeake and MI
every available acre with oysters, ana
you would destroy the industry. And,
again. the continual planting on the best
bars we have will wear them out just
as 1t will corn-field. The largest plant
ers in York river to-day are nearly bank
rupt. / know one who has $4,000 mort
gage on his property"
