POLICE ARE AFTER THE TRAMP.
Hobo Arrested Yesterday on sus-
pfcion of AssaiIinp Lady ,CycIists.

The Henrico and Richmond police are
both at work endeavoring to locate the
tramp who attacked the two ladies on
the Missing-Link bicycle track Thursday
which attack was told of exclusively IN
the Dispatch of yesterday morning.
Sergeant A. NJ. Tomlinson made an ar
rest yesterday. but the man, who some
what answered the description given of
the young ladies' assailant, proved not
to be the man. The suspect was held
some time by Sergeant TomlinsoD, and
Rev. Mr.. Martin. who went TO the young
ladies' assistance. was sent for. Mr.. Mar
tin. as soon as he saw the prisoner, pro-
nounced him TO be the wrong man, and
he was liberated forthwith
The county authorities have as yet made
no arrests, though the police are search
ing diligently through the county west
of the city for the man.
The attack, which is the third one made
upon unprotected ladies i'm that vicinity
in the past few months has created con-
siderable excitement among lady cyclists,
and the Missing-Link track was tabooed
by them yesterday.

The CeoIorical-Sur Bill.

Major Jed. Hotchkiss. who inspired the
geological survey bill. now before the
LEGISLATURE, has been receiving a num-
Der of letters from various States in APP
proval of the measure. He will appear
before the Joint committee on Monday
at o'clock The following letter Will be
read with interest:
Morsantown, w. Va. February s, 1898.
My Dear Major Hotchkiss: The copy Of
the proposed bill to establish a geolosi-
cal Survey Of Virginia duly received. 1t
is very similar to ours, and we have
found IL highly satisfactory in practical
working and | trust your Legislature
will enact it into a law. Both States
have suffered themselves to be out
stripped in the industrial pursuits by
neighboring ones with far less mineral
and natural resources, simply because
the world at large knows nothing OFF,
cially concerning them Our little State
has at last got tired of this lethargy,
and has inaugurated a survey, and ]
trust our dear mother, Virginia, will not
be outdone by her promising daughter.
A State at this day and age of the world
must set forth its resources in a scien-
tific and official form. If IL expects to at
tract capital and development Our sur
yey should have been started twenty
years ago, and if Rogers report on Vir-
ginia had been published by the State IN
the fifties, Virginia would have had the
position in the industrial world that
pennsylvania now has. / hope she Will
correct the error Of her older Legislature,
and pass the bill with a good appropria-
ton 10 start with. Very truly yours.

Would 1t BE Constitutional:

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The Senate Finance Committee pro-
poses, it is reported, to provide for as
sessing against social clubs a tax of 80
cents for each member thereof, as a SUBJ
stitute for the Maupin bill, imposing a
whiskey license tax on such clubs. Would
not the tax of 50 cents for each member
be tantamount to a capitation tax TO that
extent on each member in addition TO
the capitation tax of 81 already assess
ed by the State, and therefore, unconsti-
tutional? The decision of the Supreme
Court of Appeals in the case of Profit
VS.. Anderson, reported on page sS7 Of 10Th
Southeastern Reporter, would seem to in
dicate that such would be the result. See
also Virginia Constitution, Article X,
Section ). OMEGA.

The present Governor Of the Green
Mountain State, though born in Canada.
has lived in Vermont since he was years
old. His course at the St. Johnsbury
Academy was interrupted i'm 1861 by his
eniisting in Company I. First Vermont
Cavalry. He was mustered in as second
Lieutenant. promoted to captain the fol-
lowing year, and in 1864 made major OF
the Twenty-sixth New York Cavalry.
Major Grout participated in seventeen
engagements, and was badly wounded in
skirmish with the celebrated Confede-
rate leader, Mosby.
At the close of the war he entered the
law office Of his brother General Grout.
and was admitted TO the bar. His service
in the Vermont Legislature embraced the
years 1872 1888. 1856, and 1883. He was
Speaker Of the House for three years
and senator in 1892.
Governor Grout is deeply indebted 10
Paine's celery compound for the good
health which he to-day enjoys. He ex-
presses his conviction of the value of the
great remedy in the following few words:

The Orange Observer. in commenting

The orange Observer, in commenting
on the honest money cry, says:
I'VE agree with the demand that the
United States should have nothing but
honest money in its financial system.
We are opposed to the dishonest dollar.
But we have never seen a dishonest dollar
except those counterfeits for making
which various individuals have at Diff
ferent times served terms in the peni-
tertiary"
The Observer next expresses the opinion
that the country needs more money; that
both gold and silver. and paper converti-
bic into coin, are honest money, and then
observes:
People who claim the contrary never
live up 10 their claims when they engage
in transactions involving dollars. They
will all take what they call dishonest
money, and they generally are glad TO get
it,"
The Observers observations are pretty
correct.

How We Hate One Another.

Charleston News and Courier)
After all. the spirit of Christianity is
bigger than the creeds. About two weeks
ago the Rev DR.. Palmer. of New Or
leans. one of the most distinguished
Presbyterian ministers i'm the United
States, celebrated his eightieth birthday.
and was overwhelmed with gifts and con-
CALCULATIONS. which poured in upon him
from all sides. The Jews presented him
with loving cup Of massive silver, and
the Roman Catholics. through Cardinal
Gibbons. wished him additional years of
useful and vigorous life.
The Roman Catholic Cathedral OF ST.
John the Baptist in Savannah, was de-
stroyed by fire last Sunday night. AS soon
as II was known that this ancient edifice
had perished and that its congregation
were without q sanctuary, the Rev. DR..
Strong rendered the use of ST. Johns
Episcopal church, until the Cathedral
congregation could make arrangements
Tor holding services" The Young Mems
Hebrew Association and the Young Mems
CHRISTIAN Association also offered 10 sup
ply the Cathedral congregation with shell
ter. The session of the Independent Pres
Dyterian church. the rector of st. Ste
pnen's church, and the Bishop Of the Epis-
copal Church sent letters and messages
OF sympathy TO the afflicted people, and
the first contribution for the rebuilding of
the Cathedral was made by titzhugh Lee
White, the 6-year-old son of the Rev DR..
WHITE rector Of the Episcopal Christ
church. All OF this was precisely as il
should have been, and as the Master
would have ordered it. but it was out of
the ordinary run Of religious incidents.
1t is worth while for a Christian minis
Ter TO have an eightieth birthday 10 be
told by Jewish rabbi that we stand
under the protection of one and the same
rather in Heaven" In a certain broad
sense there was ample compensation for
the burning Of the Cathedral i'm Savannah

the session OF Presbyterian church 1t
is only at odd times in closely contested
elections, when we have axes to grind. or

consult that we appear to hate one an
other. The two incidents we have noted

1t is very evident that the majority OF
the Elections Committee having charge
Of the Virginia congressional contested
election cases do not consider that the
minority have any rights that the ma
jority are bound or ought TO respect.
Furthermore, it is evident that the ma
jority do not consider that any contestee
who happens to be a Democrat has any
rights.
The contested case of Thorp VS.. Epes,
involving the seat of Virginia's Demo-
cratic representative from the Fourth Dis
trict, illustrates very forcibly the above
contentious. The proceedings would seem
to show persecution and gag law as
against Epes from the beginning.
