opinion that his effort at the Chicago
peace jubilee banquet was a fitting
climax 20 the series OF eloquent ed-

NOT EMPTY HONORs.

In announcing the nomination of Mr.. c.
Harding Walker, of Northumberland, as
the Democratic candidate for the State
Senate to succeed Judge Mason
the Virginia Citizen, whose editor,
Mr.. w. Mcdonald Lee, was prominently
mentioned in connection with the honor,
does the exceedingly graceful thing
After extending earnest congratulations
to the nominee, the Citizen says:
"Mr. Walker fully appreciates the high
honor bestowed upon him and we know
him as a man who will fully measure up
to every requirement-feaTless in right,
able in council, a man of strict integrity
and Christian walk"
And we are glad to see that in the
same article the Citizen antagonizes Wig
orously the proposition so often advanced.
that elections to the General Assembly
for unexpired terms, and where there is no
prospect of service, are empty honors."
our contemporary holds that the be-
stowal of any Office or position by the
people Of Virginia is, in itself, an honor.
That's the right idea. If the truth of what
the Citizen says was more generally APP
preciated there would be a more wide
spread appreciation of the responsibilities
OF serving the people.

PASSENGER DEPOTS.

1t really seems as though the patient
waiting Of our people in the matter of
passenger depots here were soon to be
rewarded. Not only do the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the Southern railway COM
panies promise us new buildings and suit
able accommodations for the travelling
public. but it is likely that the Richmond,
Petersburg and Carolina company will
provide itself with handsome Richmond
home.
1t is supposed that that company will
be operated in connection with the Sea-
board Airline, and it is believed that it
will be able to make satisfactory connec-
tons here for the North and West. Thus
1t would become q great factor in our
business life. Moreover, it would stir up
in other companies q spirit Of emulation,
which would vastly benefit Richmond as
a railroad centre.
The Atlantic-Coast Line depot here Is
all that we can reasonably ask. and the
Fredericksburg company is making inn
provements at Elba, which has become a
stopping-place of Importance. A dozen
years hence the probability is that there
will be need of a large. fine, thoroughly
equipped station there.
A city is known, to a great extent. by
its passenger depots. Richmond having
suffered so long and so greatly on ac-
count of some of hers. cannot but feel
gratified now that there is prospect OF
change for the better.

Achates. As an address OF welcome, IT
left nothing TO be desired: left nothing TO
be said by the municipal functlonary who
had been charged with presenting the
President with the freedom OF the city
and with assuring him that II there was
anything he wanted that he didn't see,
all he had TO do was 10 call for II. In
this view, the article was graceful, appro-
prlate. and a triumphant achievement in
Journalism. No doubt the President Pc
rused Il long before HIS train hove In
sight Of Columbus. and. no doubt, also.
IL warmed the cookies OF his heart.
Cold and unappreciative. indeed, Is the
man whom such tribute and such cor
dial greeting would fail 10 move.
But II the President has any sense OF
humor his risibles must also have
been touched. and. therefore, he must
have been the victim of mixed and con-
nicting emotions. While 1t is true that
Mr.. Mckinley has not on his trip been
making partisan appeals" in the sense
that that phrase is generally understood.
II Is none the less true that his vacation
tour" has been stamping tour" In the
interest of the Republican party, and he
could not but be amused at what the Jour
nal had TO say on that point. lie Is
iunketing as a war President" seeking
TO arouse through his individuality as
such enthusiasm for his party, and TO
divert public attention from the charges
against his administration in connection
with the war with Spain. The conten-
ton that he has been on non-partsan
mission is as ridiculous as are the as
surances that the War Department m
vestigaton was intended to investigate.
The object Of his mission was to ensure
If possible, Republican control OF the
next House Of Representatives, thereby
preventing real investigation, and leaving
