THE NEW LINE 70 WASHINGTON.

There should be little doubt about the
action of the Senate and House of Del
egates in the granting of n charter to
the Richmond and Washington Air
Line.
In the first place, the grand work OF
the Democratic party is opposition to
Aronopolies in Railroads. Then. why
should Virginia maintain and foster
the greatest monopoly of them all.
Does 1t lie in the mouth of the adj
nopolies, and at the same time allow
the old Commonwealth itself to be
q party TO such n measure.
1t does not matter whether it be the
Richmond and Washington Air Line
that knocks for admittance TO the
State, or come other road; the princi-
pie is the same. Let the road come Let
us have every convenience that will in
ure TO greater Industrial prosperity and
commercial activity. The moro money
there is turned loose In the State the
easier it is to get 1t. The more com
petition there is in railroads the cheap
er the fare.

and without granting it an immunity

Here is road that asks for no help.
1t wants no special privilege. 1t simply

III addition to this. it offers TO give
the State two for one for every dollar
1t has invested. 1t offers To hand back
to the State its money two for one. so
that the State can get l. per cent on
what it now gets per cent. In add-
ton. it offers to build another railroad
that will bring into the State Treasury
over $4,000 a year in taxes, besides
County taxes. Let the railroad come.
| This fact, that it wants to como. is
but another evidence of the prosperity
that surrounds it.
There is big difference in Virginia
now, and a few years ago. Railroads
seek us now; then we had to pay them
to come. Will the Legislature throw
an obstacle in the way OF progress?

We do not wish to do injustice to
any man, newspaper, nor party; but
silence is sometimes the greatest
wrong n man can do himself or others.
"Silence is consent" says the proverb;
and though this is not always true. it
is true enough, and often enough, to
make newspapers and public men very
careful as to how they indulge in it,;
| for not rarely it is anything else than
golden. Hardly any thing else covers
SO much cowardlce, treachery. dishon-
esty and general cussedness. Is n man,
or journal, or party, brave and true
that makes much noise and show of
war on the national octopus, and is in
| alliance, or truce, with the local or
state octopus? Here silence has a test
by the contrast of it's quiet acquies-
cence in, or consent to, the local ra
pine, with the fierce uproar made
against the larger monsters that raw
age the land at n distance.
1t is q sham battle-this long.range
demonstration of sound and fury, sig
nifying nothing" or it is Il foolish eX-
penditure OF strength and munitions
upon a distant foe, whose attention is
hardly attracted by it; and whether

The common excuse given for this

cosrnopolitan Fishing Town,

The most cosmopolitan town in the
British Isles is, curiousiy enough, the
little island town of Stornoway, away
up in the outer Hebrides. At this
season of the year, when the herring
fishing is in full swing. four languages
may be heard in it any day-English,
that is Scots English; Gaelic, French
and Dutch. Men are gathered,
the s'myneers" from the Zuyder Zee,
the ''moosco's" from the northern
coast of France, the hardy fishermen
from the east and north coast Of
Scotland, and, of course, the Gaelic
speaking people Of the west. German
even is heard in the streets occasion
ally.
This, of course. applies only TO some
two months of the summer, when
the fishing vessels flock to the place,
because at this particular time tho
behring's are at the age when they can
be caught and disposed of with profit,
and they always pass through the
seas off Stornoway during June and
July. Later in the season the schools
pass around by the Orkneys aud down
the east coast, and the fishing fleet
follows them from port to port, stay
ing a few weeks each at Thurso, Wick.

The protection of the birds of u
has really hacomo a vito noe.

The protection of the birds of our
forests has really become a vital ques.
ton in this country. The ornithologist
and the farmer unite in their plea.
The ornithologist fears the extinction
of the bird race if the wholesale slaugh-
ter now prevalent does not cease.
The farmer declares that he almost
fears for the life of man himself since
the destruction of the birds means
the destruction of the field products
by the all-pervading worm. 1t rests
largely with women to settle this
matter. If they decline to wear dead
birds on their hats, and it is in wretched
taste, the milliner will no longer buy
the birds, and the slayer of the bright
plumaged songsters will seek more
profitable employment.
