WHY ALEXANDRIA CAN NOT
PROSPER

To the Editor Of the Alexandria Gazette:
The railroad companies entering our
city ere the greatest drawbacks to its
welfare. The rates OF freight they are
charging. where there is 10 competition,
are such that 1t Is to our disadvantage
to do business here. They have con-
bined against ", so. OF course, there is
no competitor. The rate of freight from
Newport News, Hampton and Fortress
Monroe 10 IA cents to Alexandria aud l6
cents to Philadelphia. Philadelphia
pays 2 cents, We pay IA ceols for the
same service, as the distance is ABOUT
the same, but now they increase the
distance when We ship mere by going
q round about WY by Orange Court
house, Va. There they connect with
the Southern Railway, They say 10
the other road: "You bfougOt me a
sucker, now We do our share of suck.
ing" and then they divide the spolls.
There is a car OF empty barrels consig
ed to Us from Hinton, w. Va, on which
they charge Sl06 freight. TIE entire
value OF the barrels ia about $50
or $50. TIE result is the ship
per will lcss the barrels and
we lose bis trade, as it Is
cheaper to lose be cargo than 10 pay
the freight. Another instance fifty
five gross of bottles from White sui
pbur, W. Vs., consigned to us, the
value of which is $50. The freight
charges are SSS. II is the same, in this
case cheaper to lose the cargo than TO
Ray the freight. Now lee us compare.
A party In Washington shipped TO
Mlgaukee, Wis, q car load Of bottles
GOO gross) four times the value aud
weight ss the case referred TO above,
and four times the distance. Freight
$50 Is II too late to remedy the i'm
position? Did we give them our streets
Indefinitely to use them the same as II
1t was their own property? We load
and unload these cars free, which they
should do. They handle their freight
cars on Sunday, which no one else is
allowed TO do. We give them oil the
privileges and what do We get for II?
Look at our "fiSe" depot,l il Is q
shame for the world 10 know that such
exist 10 a city OF 10 900 iohshlanls.
The authorities should declare them a
nuisance aud have them pulled down
by the Board Of Health. Mouopol'es that
conspire against the people 20 de-
fraud them are greater criminals han
the anarchists, as they SOW the seed OF
sDsrcbism and ought to be prosecuted
the same and more SO The government
in course of time will be compelled 10
own all the railroads. IL may lie
long time, but it will come Not urtil
then will Alexandria be able to DO
business and proser like other com
muuities. j. DREIFUs.

An Unrelenting Mother.

London, Oct. 23.-The romance of
the wedding OF Lieut.. Cecil and Miss
Balm, daughter of a Belfast insurance
agent, which occurred at Edinburgh on
Monday last continues TO attract pubic
attention. Lady Frances Cecil, the
young lieutenant's mother, who violent
ly opposed the marriage, thus causing
the couple to elope to Scotland to avoid
the serving of writ from the court OF
chancsry prohibiting the uniou, secured
by The bridegroom's mother, is still IN
relenting and today threatens to pro-
coed further against her son. The
lieutenant, who is a grandson OF the
Marquis OF Erter, aud is heir to the
CunlIff Brooke millions, is minor and
ward in chsncery and is therefore
liable to prosecution for bic act.

HENRY wATIERsoN's OPINION.

Ia long editorial in the Louisville
| (Ky) Courier Journal" Henry Wat
terson discusses what he says will soon
be known as 1.-THE Booker Washington
incident Zone does not know
precisely whether to laugh or to
whistler he says. "Assuredly it Is the
part OF wisdom in democrats to say
nothing and saw wood"
Mr.. Watterson contends that every
American citizen has the right 10 pick
bis Own company. He goes on to
argue that Mr.. Roosevelt is only shown
to be true to bis political religion, and
cites that the foundation OF that poit-
ical belief was 10 free the negro, to
ssat him In the high places of the land,
and that for a great moral lesson 1t
kept the seat OF Jefferson Davis vacant
until 1t could be filed by gentlemen
of color.
Mr.. Watterson mourns for Booker
Washington, and Gays that in the end
ne is to pay the freight. Truly" he
says, 'the President did Booker Wash
in9ton an i'll turn"
10 his concluding paragraph, Mr..
Wstterson sage: looking at it from
partisan standpoint, democrats may
take not little comfort to themselves.
Whatever happens, this Ia not our fun
eral. Out in the cold as we may be-
shivering as we are. and hungry, yea,
verify, and tbirsly-yet as we stand
around the White House and look in
through the windows and see Teddy
and Booker hobnobbing over their pos
sum and potatoes, not one of US Is dis
posed to envy either of them or to ex-
claim OF either 'Wouldn't it be bully
10 be him?' We prefer to take our
chances of the future.
1--WE had rather wait till our time
comes. Somehow, the look ahead does
not seem so hopeless, nor the distance
so long. Fer there Is here radical To-
trinity Of Judgment, a plain lack OF com.
mon sense-and bless the Lord we are
not in it. Ibdeed the shortcoming i'm.
piled by it means great deal to US.
Mistakes, like misfortunes, never come
singly. They travel in groups and are
umulous. We democrats have but TO
get together and to keep our powder
dry to carry all before Us three years
hence, because this young man IL
troncc buster, and he is going to raise
more of that stuff from the very hot
place with the very short name, to the
square inch, than was ever raised before
10 that particular neck of woods. Sur
sum cords!
There's a good time coming, boys;
wait little longer"

THE DUTY ON SUGAR.
To the Editor of Alexandria Gazette:

The total consumption Of sugar in the
United States last year was 2,2l9,S47 tons,
and based on the average Increase Of 0.34 per
cent. during the past 19 year,, the eoBsump-
ton this year should be 2, 800, 6S5 tons. OF
this quantity 600, 600 tons in round figures
will cone from American sources, Louis
lana being able 10 produce $4,000 tons,
United States hest factories 10000, Hawaii
$50, coo ana Porto Rico 10000, all being
free of duty, leaving ], 1850, $50 tons to como
from other sources and on which duty is paid.
TIE average duty assessed is $50 per ton, or
q total Of S48, 961, 060. The price Of all the
sugar consumed however, being enhanced TO
the extent OF the duty OF $50 ger ton or
total OF $84 981 ,060. it is evident that
$36000000 additional is paid by the people
In orc er TO provide the government with ID
millions for revenue, oil which the govern
went Is now in need. If the duty is taken
of Cuba sugar, the benefit Of So millions gees
