& WRITER in the New York Tribune
says ticket composed of William Nc
Kinley and Fitzhugh Lee would sweep
the country in 1900, South as well as
North. To show that he knows what
ne is talking about, it is only necessary
60 add that he also says the people of
the South are in favor of protective
tariff and are opposed to Bryan and
the free coinage of silver. 1t seems i'm
possible for Northern people to believe
that their enforced fellow citizens Of
the South are even human.

THURSDAY EVENING. JUNE S. 1899
Or THE several needs of Alexandria,

OF THE several needs of Alexandria,
one, the supply of which would be con-
duoive to that OF sll the others, is first
class hotel, small at first, if tho cost De
too great, but capable of enlargement
as business shall increase, which 1t
would be sure to do. There are plenty
of saloons and excellent restaurants
here, but what is urgently required is
modern hotel, at which people who
come here, either on business or pleas
ure, may be afforded the best sort OF
accommodation, and, if they bring their
wives and children with them, to take
them there also, where they would not
necessarily be in propinquity to bar
rooms. The loss Alexandria has sus-
tanned by reason of the lack OF con-
veniently ard properly located and
we'll conducted hotel OF the kind
referred to, has been immense, and.
for the good of the city and that
of everybody interested in its welfare,
should not be permitted to continue
any longer. If there be no individ-
ual Alexsudrian able and willing TO
supply the desde-atum, it is certainly
not too much to hope that q company
could be organized for the purpose, as 1t
is generally conceded that the under
taking would succeed, and thatit would
be advantageous to all the other inter
ests of the city is too plain to require
mention. Monuments and parks are
well enough and should be provided for
hereafter, but first class hotel is what
the city wants now, and wants it badly.
