THE BOND ISSUE.

ask leave to say word through
the columns OF your valuable paper rel
alive to the proposed bond Issue which
s t be submitted 10 toe voters ofAlex.
andria on May 22d. Those OF us who
are opposed TO The issue OF bonds for
the purpose OF improving our streets
and sewerage system, are not necessa-
rily opposed to these improvements as
some seen to think. On the contrary
1 believe that the opponents of this
bond issue are just as much in favor OF
improving our city as those who favor
it. The difference between those who
favor and those who oppose the issu.
ance OF bonds for improvements is tns
The first class are determined to have
these improvements, no matter what
the cost msy be to the present and fu
ture generations, while the second class
are not in favor of creating debt for
future generations 10 pay. We
who are opposed to this Sond issue do
oct believe that one generation has a
right to create debt for future gen.
GRAFTON to pay. We believe it is wrong
for those who are living DOW TO pile
up q debt for those yet to be borD to
pay. We have no right to enter into 8
contract to be fulfilled by those not now
In existence. Add yet this is exactly
what we do when we Issue these bonds.
They are to run about thirsty years, or,
10 other words, 10 order that we who
live today may have good streets we are
going to fasteu q debt upon those who
will be living thirty years from now. /
have too much fsitn In my fellow men
to believe that they will approve this
unjust measure. l firmly believe that
no matter how badly they may want
these improvements, they will reject
this bond proposition.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT may be very
strenuous. determined and impulsive
man but he is compelled at times to 60
slow in respect to some of his pet
schemes. Beyoad doubt he had fully
made up his mind to retire Gen. Miles,
but yesterday he yielded to senatorial
persuasion when strong delegation
called at the White House and made ii
clear to the President that be must
abandon his purpose OF further humil.
Eating and disoipliniug the commanding
general of the army by ending bis
active career. The general has many
influential admirers in the Senate and
the charges that formed the basis of the
autsgouism to him, it was shown,
have been justified by events that have
since happened. The President un-
douttsdly would like to have free
hand to run things to suit himself
but the "by and with the consent OF
the Senate" often checks him.

THERE Is trouble In the political
menagerie composing the fusion party
of New York, and the house being
divided against itself sees its finish at
the next election. The preachers have
long been dissatisfied With the present
city government and, as has ever been
the case where parties amalgamate.
the iron and clay will not adhere and
disintegrstion is inevitable. The great
city of New York is now no better
morally than 1t WAS under Tammany
rule. Past experience and observation
made this apparent to most people
before Mayor Low assumed the reins.
The district attorney is not satisfied
with the position taken by the mayor
and his chief OF police on the excise
question. The corporation counsel, it
is reported, has proved himself official
" encouragement by his method OF
handling his Office, the distribution OF
patronage and the naughty manner OF
his reception of the people. Other
c,uses of friction are being reported.
The police problem proves a constant
source of worry. and there are many
Manifestations of serious family jsrs.
New York ia DOW next in point OF
population to London, the largest city
in the world, or probably ever was Oh
the earth, aod to attempt to govern
such 90 aggregation Of people on meth
ode devised by Missionaries is OF course
impossible, and people who ride hob
bies during the prevalence OF reform
epidemics realize, as we'll as others,
the futllity of fulfilling their promises.

THERE Is q marked falling of in the
number of charters Issued in this city
and throughout Virginia. The reason
is obvious. Under the proposed new
constitution the business of all corpora
lions will be virtually put under con-
troll of the board OF corporation COM
missioners, and as capital is timid and
no one wants his business managed by
outsiders, much money which under
ordinary circumstances would have
been invested in this State will be di.
verted in ether directions and Virginia
will be the loser thereby. Delaware
Just now seems to be the State where
many new companies and corporations
are being organized.

heron came and sat within tempting
gunshot | knew il would spoil my
chances at mink to shoot the bird, and

raised the gun and took aim, just to
see how ! could kill It IL | would
lowered the gun and then raised IL
again Every time | raised 1t would
touch the trigger gently After awhile
/ touched it too hard. the gun went of
and l started toward the heron, which
was wounded.
II thought it would be a good scheme
TO catch the bird and started to do 50,
when its bill shot out like sledge
hammer and struck me between the
eyes When came 70 my senses, ii
was dark. and II was several minutes
longer before could remember where

harder and the bird would have killed
me. l shudder even yet when | think
what would have been the result IL the
bill had struck one OF my eyes"
