CHANGE THE TRACKS.
Clay Street Cars to run down Main to
Twcnty-iirst.

IWcntS-lffSI.
The tracks Of the Passenger and Power
Company from Twenty-first Street, by way
OF Franklin, Twelfth, Bank, Ninth and
Franklin Streets to Seventh, will be taken
up in a few days, and the Clay Street
cars Will then be run down Seventh to
Main and down Main to Twenty-first
Street.
The switch ordered by the Richmond
Passenger and Power Company TO be
placed at Twenty-first and Main Streets,
was shipped Wednesday and is expected
here in day or two.
These tracks that are so soon
to disappear were the first used
in the whole world for the operation Of
the trolley cars. The line was opened
up in 1883, and the experiment of using
electricity as a motive power proved a
success. Richmond was chosen because
this is a hilly city, and if cars could be
operated by electricity here the same
motive power would be success any
where else.
When the line was building many per-
sons who were thought to be competent
judges predicted that the experiment
would prove a failure. Captain Andrew
PiZzini and others had faith in the en-
terprise, and they soon saw their predic-
tons fulfilled. Electric cars We're such
novelty many strangers came here to
see them.

WHAT TO DO WITH ANARCHISTS.

In his address in the House of LORDS last
Monday, regarding the assassination OF
King Humbert, of Italy, Lord SALISBURY
said "the sassinaton Of such man could
not be considered private revenge. II was
nothing but that morbid Thirst for notoriety
which is the plague and curse OF modern
civilization, which had time and again led
men to the commission of the foules; crimes
and which threatened the very existence Of
society,""
We quite agree with Lord Salisbury in
what he thinks the inevitable outcome OF
anarchy teachings. If the anarchist is per-
mitted to ply his vocative without re-
straint he will, in time. threaten the very
existence Of society,""
But we are far from agreeing with Lord
Salisbury in regard to the motive that
prompts the anarchist. The anarchist as
"a distinct sect like the Populists, or the
Socialists. a set Of men are bred up in the
idea that there should be no restraints OF
ilaw upon any one, and that the head OF the
law should, therefore, be the first victim
of the anarchists knife or pistol. The an
archist assassinates, therefore, to put his
theories of life into force, rather than to
secure notoriety for himself. He is an en-
thusiast of a certain kind, though the kind
IS the very worst that can exist.
The State, in every country, should take
a firm hold upon this subject. The anar-
chist who commits crime should be exc
cuted promptly and with certainty. But
attention should also be given TO their
schools. Whoever can be convicted Of
teaching anarchy should be locked up for
life. This may be thought a little severe,
but nothing is too severe for case of this
sort, provided it will be effectuai. We be-
lieve that imprisonment, where no oppor-
tunity can be offered to spread their odious
doctrines will be the very strongest de-
terment that can be applied, and the longer
the Imprisonment, the more effective its
terror. This is subject that society can
not afford to neglect.

reconstrucaon days that drives them

reconstruction days that drives them to
| violent repression Of the blacks.
TIL. is a. frank statement from a North
ern newspaper, and 1t is in the main true.
Politics has been at the bottom of nearly
all the trouble that has existed In the
South since the war between the States.
When the war ended there was Of neces-
sity the kindest sort of feeling On the part
of the whites for the blacks, not simply
because the slaves had been SO faithful
during that terrible conflict, but because
Of a long association which had MADE lne
slaves part and parcel Of the family. But
wher the ballot was put into the hands OF
the freedmen and when vicious white men
from the North came down and organized
these freedmen to lord it over the whites,
then and there the trouble began. 1t Is a
notorious fact that whenever In any COM
.nun!ty the negro party has been in the
ascendency, the great body Of blashs have
become insolent and have in various ways
outside OF politics provoked collision with
the whites.
In the conclusion Of its article the North
American says that mobs in the South
must be auelled and that the negroes must
be protected from murderous assaults, but
adds: ..All that is done in that direction
merely suppresses temporarily the symp-
toms and fails to reach the disease The
cure for the malady is a problem to puz-
zle the wisest statesmen and will not be
solved by the mere politician who is cater
ing for votes"
The remedy is simple, but it is not within
the power of the South alone to apply 1t.
We have sad. and the North American
confesses. that the source OF all this
trouble is the Fifteenth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. Let
that amendment be repealed and race
trouble in the South will be reduced to the
minimum

SAW HUMBERTS SLAYER,
Mr.. j. 3. Kidd orthis City Talked with
Him While Abroad

AA'HI " Ahao "A Oios1A.
Mr.. J. B. Kidd, the we'll known manu-
facturer of this city, who has recently re-
turned from business trip to Europe, had
an interesting experience while on his
journey.
On the trip and While travelling from
Paris to Genoa, in order to take Il steamer
ut the latter place for home, he met an
Italian with whom he held quite lengthy
conversation and whom ne believes from
certain circumstances to have been none
other than the assassin of King Humbert.
He met the man on the train early on
the morning of July 4th. after leaving
Paris, and when the train was near the
Mont Cent Tunnel, on the Italian frontier.
not fur from Modena. Mr.. Kidd had been
searching for some one with whom he
could speak in English, and he ran across
the stranger referred to.
The Italian spoke English quite clearly
and pointed out the various points OF in
terest ind was otherwise kind to Mr..
Kidd, in instructing him about his meals,
etc. The two then fell into conversation,
and the Italian, at Modena, pointing out
some soldiers, sad:
Those men are the enemies Of labor"
There was bitter tone in his voice,
said Mr.. Kidd. land it didn't take me long
TO learn thnt he was an anarchist.
He noticed several priests near by and
said:
Those preachers are III league with
capital
Mr.. Kidd then took up the conversation
and learned that the Italian was an enc
my to the present system of government.
In reply to a question from MIR. Kidd, he
said that he had never read Henry George
or Edward Bellamy, but that he figured
out the question in his own mind. He
said he was not an educated man; he was
opposed to the monetary system.
You may call it Anarchy, Communism,
or anything els:.' he said, but it is not
right that one set OF people should hold
down another
How shall we protect society?" asked
Mr.. Kidd.
He then declared that the existing con-
dition of things was an injustice, and if
there were no injustice there would be no
crime, and hence no necessity for the pro-
lection of society. He argued along that
line till Turin was reached.
At that point he generously helped Mr..
Kidd in his transactions with the people
in the restaurant, where breakfast was
ha3. He suggested that Mr.. Kidd pur-
chase lunch at this point as ne would
hot reach Genoa in time for dinner.
Mr.. Kidd accepted the suggestion, which
turned out to be wise one, for that
city was not reached until late in the
night.
Mr. Kidd learned from the stranger
that he had formerly lived in New York
but was raised in Milan, to which place
he was then journey:ng-
The two parted quite friendly at Turin
Mr.. Kidd going to Genoa, and the italian
to Milan.
He thought little OF the matter agpin
until he read of the assassination of
Humbert, and saw the picture OF the as
sassn.
The picture reminded him forc.bly OF his
travelling conpanon. and putting every
thing together. he was almost convinced
that his traveller friend and the assassin
were one and the samA.
