RAIN AT WELLINGTON
small Streams Became Raging
Torrents.

A special TO the Eagle from Wellington
says:
The rain at this place has caused no
serious damage by nigh water. though
streams are al swollen. Slate creek is a
raging torrent. A slight washout on the
Santa Fe track occurred near Mayfeld,
but the damages have been repaired.
Farmers report crops slightly damaged in
low places. but no serious destruction has
beeen reported. Heavy rain fell here to-
day. which may produce more disastrous
results from high water.

Tho Journal makes careful analysis
OF the figures presented in the statement,

marks:
Next year, II Congress at the present

BEAR THE ILLS IN SIGHT.

We have heretofore recognized that the
refrenchment and reform policy of the
Legislature involves hardship. and wd
pointed TO suffer under it. But the stern
necessity for carrying out that policy
exists. Than this. nothing is more gene
rally recognized throughout the Com.
monwealth. Not only that. but the peo-
pie demand that 1t shall be carried out,
and this demand is making itself unmis-
takably manifest in our State papers. 1t
is either an application of the knife by
the Legislature without fear or favor
or a constitutional convention with its
attendant expenses. and its inability TO
relieve the situation until we shall have
entered upon the per cent. interest
period. and the risk of such a body's be-
ing anything but conservative.
AS we have previously said the calling
of a constitutional convention while the
people are in their present temper re-
garding retrenchment and reform might
result in not the calmest but some Of
the widest and unsafest, mems coming
10 the front.
All this considered, 1t is our earnest
conviction that 1t is TO the best interests
not only of the Commonwealth, but OF
the others interested, that the latter
should uphold the Legislature in the
general scheme of retrenchment, so far
developed. On the ground OF equity,
there may be reasons for making some
changes in the recommendations OF the |
Committee on Expenditures Of Public In
situations. The wisdom OF the Legisla- |
ture must determine that when the re-
concentrations come fairly up for con-
sderation in the body. Barring one or
two, seemingly to us. hard provisions,
the enacting Of the report into law would |
mean no more than the necessitating of
rigid economy on the part of the insti- |
tutions, and-save in a few instances
the individuals affected. 1t would not, |
however, necessitate more rigid economy |
than the average business-house and |
average merchant and manufacturer, in
diyidually. have had 20 practice during |
the last few years. Therefore, we tell |
our friends who are so eager to protest |
against the proposed cuts In salaries and |
appropriations that il is better to bear |
the ills they can see in the committees |
report than fly to others that they know |
not Of.

MIR. CONwELL on DIAMONDS.
His brilliant Lecture Delights
Large Iyceum Audience.

The lecture delivered before the Rich
mond Lyceum last night by Russell If.
Conwell. the brilliant author. orator, and
preacher, was one OF the best Of the
course. and was enjoyed by a large and
cultured audience. The subject was,
Acres Of Diamonds"
Mr.. Conwell is one Of the well-known
lecturers OF America, and is an engaging
speaker His use of Illustration is mar
vellous and striking. and his eloquence
and wit are used effectively. He is bold
in declaring against what he believes TO
be wrong and hurtful TO the community,
and carries his audience from serious
thought TO almost bosterous applause ana
laughter.
The lecture is so constructed as to be
well adapted TO any city. Its central idea
is to cause people TO think and to en-
brace the opportunities that surround
them-in business, professional, and scien-
tific life. The lecturer paid touching tri-
butte TO General Lee, whom he visited at
his home soon after the surrender, ana
urged the people of Richmond TO pull to-
gether and talk up their beautiful city,
which ought TO be made 10 grow much
more rapidly than ii has done.
