ADDITIONS TO OUR NAVY.-The es.

came upon the scene of action at a
time when she was needed, and be.

place in tho popular regard which she
will not soon lose. But we are adding
to our navy some OF the strongest ships
that ever sailed the seas, and several
Of these are being constructed d at the

evident in recent years, said he. that

The Jim Crow Car.

Editor OF The Times:
Sir:-I think voice the sentiment OF
thousands when I say that hope you
will use the power of yorr influential
journal in favor Of the passage of the
separate car bill" Your quotation from
the Petersburg Index-Appeai, with COM
ments by yourself. is fair and just. But
fail to see where any sort ofrtnJustice
is to be done by the law in question to
respectable co!ored persons. Equal pro-
vision is to be made for their convenience
and comfort. There can be but one pos
sib!e hardship, and that IS, to be denied
the privilege of travelling In company
with the white race. And / frankly say
that the negro that desires this and looks
upon it as 4 thing to contend for, is the
one most in need Of the law that Is con-
templated. The present CUSTOM allowing
as it does filthy and ill-smeliing negroes
to occupy the car where gentleman Is
forced to go to enjoy his cigar. is one
that is loathsome to persons OF cieanli-
ness, not to say gent!lity or decencs.
Some time since I had occasion to be In
the second-class car of the A. &; D. Rail-
way. from Virginia to Jeffress. It was
simply unspeakable. Negroes from the
mines, smelling Of fish and vile whiskey.
made it like cattle-pen. At Jeffress
boarded the train from Durham. ~ T.
The secondiclass car was occupied by
dozen white gentlemen enjoying smohe.
Outside of the smoking there was, Moth
ing to which the most fastideo,is could
object. The car for coIored people was
fully as neat. comfortable. and in every
way as desirable as our own, barring. OF
course. that uppish negroes may have
felt agsrieved because they were kept 10
their own color. Mentioning to-day my
purpose OF writing 10 you on this subject,
an elegant and refined English lady,
resident at present Of Brooklyn. n. Y.
said PLEASE cast my vote In, favor or.

tested In States further south, venture
to say that i:s repeal would he difficult.

DECHYING PROSPERITY.

..Nine-tentl,s of the so-caled prosperity
enioyed in the business ccnters since the
present administration came in" says
the Bedford Bulletin. has been the nom
inal increase i'll the value of stocks OF IN
drlstrial enterprises.
1t is a strange thing to us that reputa-
bic newspapers in Virginia will try to
create the impression that the country IS
not prosperous and that times are sun
hard. All classes OF securities have en-
HANGED in value because the earning ca
psci1y of the enterprise which they re-
present has greatly increased. The stock
of the Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company. for example, has more than
doubled in value within the past four
years and the reason therefor is made
manifest in the statements of the COM
many. which are sent out week after week
from Roanoke. The earnings of this
company during the past six months IN
creased se5522 .27 as compared with the earn
incs of 1885, and the earnings OF 1898 show
ed q. large Increase over those of the pre-
vious year.
And what do these increased earnings
mean? They mean that the Norfolk
and Western Company has been doing an
Increasing business: that it has been haul
ing more freight and more passengers,
and that means that the business OF the
country through which it passes has also
greatly increased. Southwest Virginia was
never SO prosperous as it is to-day. There
was more apparent prosperity In boom
times. but the prosperity which it is now
enjoying is substantial and 1t Will M
crease. The newspapers of that section
of Virginia would do we'll to talk about
the prosperity which has come TO their
section of the State and to advertise it
abroad. 1t can do none except the poll
ticians any good 10 cry calamity
But what is true of the Southwest is
true Of all other sections OF Virginia as
vas SO abundantly shown in the reports
printed in our New-Iear's edition.
