do not belive IN the principle OF protec-
ton. We do not believe in the nrohihiiory
tax on the circulation OF State banks az q
means OF preventing such banks from ls-
suing notes. But there ca be no DOUBT
that the loauor license tax in Richmond IS
n,tsas high as 1t should be. The city Is
entitled TO more revenue from that bra ncn
Of trade especially as some of the sa-
looms make the criminal expenses OF the
city larger than they would otherwise De.
The Council should, and doubtless will.
increase the liquor tax.
We cannot agree, however. that eacn
and every saloon in the city should pay
the same license tax. The liquor bust
ness is under present conditions q
legitimate business. seeing that un-
der certain restrictions it is per-
mitted by law to be carried on.
That being the case. the auihoi1-
ties must be reaSonah le and Just III deal
ing With those engaged IN the LIQUOR
traffic. The tax should be high for the
reason already stated. and the minimum
rate should be high But II is out OF all
reason to say that all the saloons should
pay The same tax

A WORD OF GaEET!NG.

The Times greets its friends along the
Southern Railway. its friends in Virginia
and its friends i'll North Carolina.
The Southern Railway has inaugurated
a new train and mali service which viii
put The Times into the various places
along its line at the earliest possible
moment. In other days The Times got
out a special edition for the early morn
ing tram on thss road but The train left
at an hour which prevented US from
giving a satisfactory paper TO those pat.
rons. They bore with US with patience.
but we are sure that this eG.tion Of the
,arsr was no more satisfactory to them
than il was to US
Under#the new schedule. however. we
are enabled TO give our latest and COM
piete edition to these patrons, and we
expect by this means largely to extend
our circulation in that reg. on.
Interesting times are coming. There Is
an election next Tuesday and then Cons

In one OF the Richmond newspapers!
Are not the sensible and enterprisng5
people of Petersburg little tired Of be-
ing advertised in this way by their lovely
and loyal hane paper Do they Ike for
their city TO be Advertised as a city held
IN Contempt by the people at the Ca pi,al?
And do they like to be Advertised as a
people who are SO tllin-skinned and sen.

1t seems 10 US that he great and good

progressive city in different way. In
point Of fact, Petersburg is rival OF
