nh ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

The decision Of Judge sWaddills in Sre-
fusing to grant a tempe in junction
restraining all steps looking towards
the consolidation OF certain railroads
into the seaboard AIR Line system was
received with great satisfaction by Viz
ginia-by the South generally, and es-s s.:
pecially. by Richmond. s853
The proposed scheme had for dts object
the now well canvassed plan Of consoli-s
dalton which would put a great trunk
line from Virginia to Florida. with Rich 4
mond as Its northern terminus s
The advantages Of such increased IA cili-s
ties for transportation will necessarily be-
felt by all the manufac curing and jobbing
interests IN, this and every other city
which so obtains a new outlet. From the
cities the benefits will spread to the en-
tire South. which will now have three
systems. ali competing for its passenger
and freight business. The immediate
effect Of such competition is to. give
better facilities for handling this bust
ness, and with the better facilities the
business will increase S 4
Judge Waddill pointed out the fact that
the answer to the complaint against!
the proposed scheme admitted that at
that time there was no legal right to
consolidate the Seaboard and Roanoke
railroad into other lines. The effect of
this admission was to leave it in the
hands of the. law-making part Of the
state to decide whether any steps should
be taken by the various roads that would
amount to more than agreements among
themselves as to how they would re-
ceive and handle the business from their
respective lines. But there has been a
great advance in the popular conception
of the ACCESSIBILITY and advantages OF
consolidation. and as a result the Legis-s
lature passed an act authorizing and
legalizing this step.
1t is only a little while ago that con-
solidation Of railroads was regarded as
hostile to the best interests of q COM
munity. To-day the legislatures see that
the first thing is to give the public SER
wants every opportunity to serve the pub
lie with efficiency, and then the inevitable
law of the survival Of the fittest will
give the maximum services with the
minimum Of cost.
Richmond is to be congratulated in the
notable advance in her commercial OPP
portunities that the Seaboard system will
give Nor are the congratulations to
be confined to Richmond, for the State
and the whole South will profit by this
great enterprise, whose successful COM
pletion seems to be definitely assured:

never more forcibly demonstrated than

A drunken mob was encountered at
Louisa and Gord'onsville. The Chesapeake

Should the General Assembw-Co act
and transfer to trainmen the power to

PARTISANRY,

There is nothing wrong in partisanry
pcr Sc. The man who espouses cause
believing that it is right and just should
give it his earnest and, cordial support
and should do all he can. in an honorable
way to promote its interests But there
is ono great defect in partisanry, and
that is that it too often suppresses the
truth. The intense partisan is often
blinded, sometimes deliberately shuts his
eyes to the truth. and misstates the facts
in order to bolster up his cause. 1t is for
this reason that It is so hard to get the
exact facts about the Philippine situation.
It is commended on the one side that the
government has pursued the wise and
statesman1ike col::se and that no errors
have been made. 1t is contended on tile
other that the government has wased .
cruel and unjus,idAole war against the
Philippine insurgents, has acted in bad
faith towards the Aguinaldc Jitn:e. ;'nd
By force of arms has been trying to sup.
press a bona fde republic and to deprive
the citizens thereof OF their rights and
liberty.
All this IS done for political effect on.
one side or the other. Those who read
only the Republican side Of the story
conclude that the administration has made
no mistakes, while those who read only
the Democratic side OF the story, con
Eclude that the course OF the admins
tration has been outrageous. The truth
about this question will be found. as in
all such cases. midway between the two
extremes. and those who are seeking
after the truth will search for the facts
and discard the rubbish Of partisanry on.

From what can be learned and judging
from present indications it is safe to con-
clude that the yanderbilts and the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company Jointly
own the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway.
This it.wouId seem insures its operation
as an independent line, and the contlnu-
ance Of the general offices at Richmond.
and disposes Of the rumored scheme to
consolidate with the Big Four system and
the consequent removal of some of the Of
fees to Cincinnati.
II is altogether probable that PresI-
2dent Ingalls will continue as the head
until July LIST, possibly longer. Nothing
is known as 20 his successor.
This fact indicates that the Chesapeake
and Ohio is Virginia institution, dis
tinctly, and all that is don't will be only
for the betterment OF the Chesapeake
and Ohio and the country that it runs
through The fact that nc consolidation
IS planned with the Big -Four, or that
the Chesapeake and Ohio is to be oper-
ated as q division of the Pennsylvania
system will put at rest the rumors as
to the future of the greatest single
track line in America, under its new
ownership.
The present situation has undoubtedly
resulted from the inability to find an
agreement for tht maintenance OF rates.
but under. the present conditions the
maintenance of tariffs IS assured.

PANAMA HATS.

Ecuador is the real home of the hats
wrongly designated under the name Of
panama" and. according to the Re-
cueil Consulaire Beige. this industry
afterwards extended to Peru and other
countries. even to Yucaton in Mexico.
Everywhere in Latin America the hat
Is known under the name of "Jipijapa,"
I'm honor of the city where its manufac-
ture was first started. 1t Is only in
Europe or outside of the producing
countries that this hat receives the
name OF city which does not make 1t.
The finest hats are made in Jipijapa
and at Montecristi. In the province OF
Manabi CEcuador). this industry being
one OF the greatest resources Of the
country. The toquilla or leaf of a small
plant is used for this purpose. 1t grows
abundantly in the country, the leaves
coming up In the shape of a fan. The
plant Is the carludovica palmata. There
are jipijapas Of all qualities, from those
costing a few pence to those worth sew
eral pounds. The merit of these last,
really marvels Of fneness, consists as
much in the scarcity of the straw as
In the difficulty of the weaving, and,
therefore, IL Is exceptional to find these
hats on the general market. The hats
OF current sale cost few shillings. the
finest not exceeding from e5 to fs in
price. In buying a panama 1t Is neces-
sary to ascertain two things-that the
straw is whole and that 1t is not stiffen-
ed. II Is not easy to recognize this first
condition. In order to make two from
one the weavers split the straw with
such perfection that. unless a person
Is accustomed to such examinations. II
Is almost impossible for him to distin-
guish the difference. OF equal fneness
the hat made from whole straw i:
worth three or four times the one man
lufactured from the straw that has beer
split. The second condition is easil,
recognized, for the hats are stiffenet

Good toquilla is white and stiff enough
not to need any gum, and only ordinar,
bananas are stiffened.
