title to mountain, glacier, seals, fish,

Whistling.

The Bryanites feel obliged to
appear to be hopeful about some
thing, and so they say they are
hopeful about carrying New York,
New Jersey, Indiana and Connect
icut this year. The kind of job
they have before them is indicated
by the Republican pluralities in
those States four years ago, when
the Bryanites were also hopeful.
These pluralities were: In New
York, 26S, ,469; in New Jersey, 81, :
G92; in Indiana, S,1S1; in Con-
necticut, SO, ,545.
TO talk hopefully about over
coming those pluralities this year
is like whistling while walking

Mr.. Sibley attended the meeting
of the Republican County Commit
tee in Warren on Monday and
delivered a short talk to the mem
bers and others present. In the
course of his remarks he referred
to the fact that events subsequent
to the last presidential campaign
had unfOided a season of great
prosperity, values were increasing,
commerce was expanding. The
product of gold had increased to
such an extent that there remained
for coinage purposes an amount in
one year almost as great as the
total metal money of the whole
world. And still prices of agricul-
tural product and manufacturers,
were rising and industries were
expanding. The ruin predicted
by the silverites failed to appear.

NORTHERN NECK TRADE
(Richmond DsspatcAA

Our regular correspondent at Iry-
lngton, Lancaster county, writes
"Nearly all of the merchants of the
Northern Neck have been to Balti.
more and northern cities to purchase
their fall and winter goods, and some
have returned with stocks which
would do credit to small cities. The
merchants of the Neck are hustIers.
and know what to buy to attract the
attention of their customers"
What is the suggestion in this?
1t is that Richmond is losing thou
sands of dollars annually by not hay-
ing railway connection with the rich
counties of the Northern Neck.
We believe that had she such a
connection our merchants would he
able to control a large part of the
Northern Neck trade that now goes
to Baltimore. The scheme for a
railway from here to Tappahannock
and thence through the Northern
Neck should be revived without de-
lay, and pushed to naturalization
Every years delay in building such
road gives Baltimore and other
northern cities a firmer trade grin
on large area of territory that ought
to be tributary to Richmond. 1t
would pay the merchants of Rich
mond to do large part in binding
our city to the Northern Neck with
bands of steel.

Too Lax in Pardoning.
{ Cape Charles Lightly


Whether it is for fear that the ter
rlble condition of the peniten tiary
will undermine the health of our
criminals, or whether the governor
cannot resist the appeals of friends
of criminals asking for clemency. we
cannot tell, but true it is that the
pardon mill has been kept pretty
busy since his induction into office.
The press throughout the state dis
cussed this pardoning power of the
governor pretty thoroughly, several
years since, and it was thought some
legislation might be enacted restrict
ing the same. 1t might not be amiss
TO ventilate the subject again, unless
we have all come to the conclusion
that the great Constitutional con-
ventIon will provide a panacea for all
these ills.
