A Railroad Man Against Pools.

The stock assertion of the railway in
terests that they must have a legalzed
pool receives continuation from an uneX-
Tected quarter. President Stuyvesant
Fish, Of the Illinois Central. a progress
sive and successful railroad manager, de-
clares that the railway pooling idea is not
only unnecessary, but would be injurious
to legitimate railroad interests.
The first point is sustained by President
Fish by the statement often pointed out
II: these columns that the secret cutting
of rates can be most effective and uni
formly abolished by an honest observ-
ance of the Interstate Commerce law and
united action for its enforcement. As to
the second, he predicts that even if g,
legal and universal pool were established
which he deems impossible-it would
lead to the building of paralleling lines
all over the Union, and the creation Of
more railways than the traffic would sup
port.
1t is true. as Mr.. Fish says, that the
full observance and enforcement of the
law, now reduced to the dead-letter stat
Us, would accomplish what is proposed
as the aim of pooling. But as to the
purposes which are nat advertised in the
please for this enactment, that is another
story.-Pittsburg. Dispatch.

NOBLE WORK. /.

This is the age of missions, and the
srfrit of giving to others has never been
more widespread or more active than to-
day. Nor do the charitable of this age
confine their gifts to dogmas and doc
trines. For with the spirit of giving has
been developed the spirit of how to give,
and the theological missionaries of gen.
Grafton ago have made way for the med
zeal missionaries OF to-day. The Chinese
and Iiindoos may not grasp our religious
principles with ease, but they cannot fail
to understand that spirit of self-sacrifice
them just to take care OF their bodies
and to do them good. 1t is too often
thought that in order TO be medical
missionary it is necessary to go to some
foreign country. There is no city or COM
munity which does not offer a field for
this class of work, and it is just as truly
missionary labor as any that is carried
on under the sun.
There is no charity more noble and no
life moro self-sacrifcing than that led by
those who have given up their lives to
going about among the sick and afflicted
in order that they may give of their
knowledge and care to those who are too
weak or too i'll to keep up with the fierce
race for life to-day. That there are such
in Richmond is a glorious proof of our
noble-mindcd womanhood.- May their la

II Poe's authorship OF the poem called

may be set down as one of the rarest

as characteristic or Poe as they very
well could be- It does not seem possible
that any one but Poe could have written
it, and no doubt further efforts viii be.
made to establish its authenticity.
In this connection we are reminded of
the brilliant hoax that was successfully
carried out by the editor OF "corks and

that both followed Poes style and metre
perfectly, and had The additional safe

olIR PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.

We print a striking letter from MIR. W.

out some of the glaring weaknesses OF
our public school system. In this letter
Mr.. Copeland quotes the powerful eN-
preston of DR.. Frazer, of Farnlville,
THE State must either enlarge her
schools or increase her insane asylums
and prisons" There is no work which,
from a. selfish and nlaterialistic standpoint
offers larger prospect of gain or more
certainty of reward than that of inprov-
ing our school SYSTEM. 1t is well under
stood by those who are conversant With
education that Virginia is not doing any
thing like as well as many other States.
We cannot expect this condition. Of af-
fairs to continue without seeing the bit
ter fruits of decay and loss of prestige
show themselves in our life as a State.
There are many individuals who. both
in their private and public capacities, are
striving to remedy this condition; but if
the miracle is TO be wrought. there must be

A Very Touching JOKE.

A good joke was played Wedues-

vertiser. A few minutes before the
Alameda sailed, the two jurists
went up the gaugway OF the YES
sci, covered with leis, aud begun
sh aking hands with their friend as
il they were going away fr N town.
An Advertiser reporter, who was
on the wharf at the time, saw in
the departure OF the two Judges
an eloquent vindicstion OF the
assertions made by his paper aad
rushing outside Of the wharf went
to the nearest telephone to com
mu aicate the news to his editor.
1t is very probable that some in
structions were given to him in re-.
turn for his communication, as the
reporter was seen rushing towards
the gsngway. and made supreme
attempt to get aboard. Judge
Gear, however, was on the lookout
aud announced from the deck of
the steamer tibet he would bs on
the wharf soon, and would answer
all questions. The crowd caught
on to the joke, which created muoa
merriment at the expsnse o. the
morning glory repres ,ntative, who
was up in moment on the air.
