Congressman and Their Districts.
BY F. n. RIcHARsoN.

49, HE recent election in the sew
enth district Of New York to
fill vacancy in the house Of
representatives resulted in the
defeat Of Mr.. Perry Belmont,
the Democratic nominee, and the cleo
ton Of his Republican opponent. Mr..
Belmont's candidacy was opposed Bit
terly on several grounds. one of which
was that he did not reside in the dis
trict he aspired to represent. He was
characterized by the newspapers and
speakers who antagonized to him as
the "carpet-bag" candidate.
This cry certainly had dts effect, but
IT is hard to see the reason.
Mr.. Belmont served with distinction
in congress for three consecutive terms
In 1.-The eighties" and was for two
years chairman of the foreign affairs
committee of the house.
At no time during his congressional
career was his home in the district
which honored him with three cleo
lions. and everybody knew when he
was nominated for this last race that
his residence was outside of the district
in which he was TO run. But every
thing is considered fair in politics and
MI. Belmont opponents mdue n
mighty hullabaloo over the fact that
he lived and voted in one district and
was seeking election in another.
There is no law requiring a repre-
sentative to be a citizen of the district
from which he is elected, and New
York has often disregarded the custom
of taking congressman from their own
districts.
Sunset Cox served twenty years in
the house of representatives and never
for day did he reside in the district
he represented. Abram 8. Hewitt had
a similar experience, and 1t would re-
quire more fingers than any normal
man has on both hands to number the
New York congressman who have been
non-residents OF their districts
Horace Greeley, while a citizen OF
Westchester county. ran for congress
in a Tammany district taking in 1.-The
Bowery," and came very near being
elected.
New York does not furnish all the
instances In which constituencies have

about "tax-dodg .ng'' and invisible prop

srnposed to be q. holder OF some KIND OF

as deeds of houses and farms are eTi-
dences of ownership, and il a house Is

property Of the company IS taxed, the
certificate Of ownership in that company
should not be. This should be the case

a deed to a. house in another State, IS

which these properties lie, and which
these papers represent, will. or should,
take care that such properties are taxed
and a tax in Virginia OH them would oe

any return to the owners of such prop

In fact, no tax should be imposed, I'M

purposes. Properties of corporations and
other properties are taxed for similar
reasons Were there no outlay by the
Government for their benefit and protec

taxing them at all, but papers merely
certifying to ownership are not justly
taxable, not because only of the fact that
the values they represent have already
been taxed but because the State Is not

istence, and can make no return in any
way to their owners for money taken
from them. These papers need no streets,

vIRdINlA's PROGRESS.

The preliminary rcpors Of the Census
Bureau on the manufacturing industries
OF Virginia and four cities OF Virginia,
which we printed in yesterdays paper,
Is a most gratifying exhibit. Thirty-five
years ago Virginia was in a state Of DESC
lation; in 1900 she had s,245 manufacturing
establishments, an increase Of over 50
per cent. in ten years. Thirty-five years
ago Virginia had no money. Her people
were without mears-,nost of them with
out the ordinary comforts Of life; in 1900
Virginia had s1o3,512, SIS invested in manu-
63 per cent. for the decade and these es-
adjustments paid out in wages s22,396,o60.
Richmond's exhibit is highly flattering
The report shows that in 1900 there were
ing establishments: in the city Of Nor
folk AS; in the city of Petersburg 225; in
the city of Roanoke 100.
The capital employed in Richmond was
s2o.s4s,62o; in Norfolk. ss,425,os9;. in Pc
tersburg. s3,sEo.sS7: in Roanoke. s2,057, 7o4.
The number of wage-earners in Rich
mond was 1882 in Norfolk, 1874; In Pc
tersburg. 1880; in Roanoke, 2,6ss
The amount paid out in wages in the
city of Richmond was s5,ss1,e5 in Nor
folk, s1.572,22 in Petersburg, s1,o4s,55o; in
Roanoke, s1,17S.542.
These comparisons are made in no spirit
of boast, but it is gratifying to the peo-
pie of Richmond to know that this city
makes such a favorable compari son with
the livelies1 and, most enterprising cities

TRADE IN GERMANY.

After a period CT extraordinary and
widespread prosperity as that which
we have enjoyed for the past three years
Ia America, ordinary experience alone
IS sufficient TO warn the public to be-
ware OF too hasty belief that the good
days will continue indefinitely. This
belief at present seems to be based more
upon the fact that we have enjoyed great
prooperity than upon any fear that arises
from conditions at home which are in
themselves dangerous. Our railroad
earnings are still increasing. The fac
tories are filled with orders. The de-
mand for iron and steel products remains
undated. There arc no idle iaborers.
And every condition would point to n
continuation of great prosperity were
&c not for the fact that human experience
is to the contrary. Abroad the condi !.
tons are not so encouraging and the sit
uation in Germany has been r source OF
alarm and uneasiness, not only TO the
and inanciers of the other great money
markets of the world.
Tho London Spectator in q recent ar
ticie gives very clear exposition Of the
causes that have produced the present
condition IN Germany, and when viewed
from the standpoint of the Spectator is
not so alarming as 1t appears to those
who have only heard gloomy forebodings
Of stock market spectators. Thoroughly

HOPEFUL VIEW

The hopeful view consump-
tiyes take Of. their own cases is
strongly in their favor. Each
year is showing a larger per
centage Of cures.
One Of the best reasons for
good hope is the record Of
SCOTS Emulsion as medicine
for consumptiyes. So long as
the SYSTEMS strong enough to
use medicine Of any kind it can
use SCOTS Emulsion.
The reason for its helpful
ness in this disease is because
OF its long tolerance by the
patient; one does not tire OF
it as quickly as other medl-
acines and that is where the
great benefit comes.
