The Commissioner Of Public Works
is quite right not TO listen TO clamor.
No official can wave a fairy wand and
have some piece Of work completed in
the time it took the genH 10 build ALA
din's palace. Even when ways and
means are found it takes time 10 per-
feet plans and prepare for thorough
work. Whatever Superintendent Boyd
has done In the past has been thor
oughly done, and when he undertakes
the KewaIO problem be viii do that
thoroughly and satisfactorily.

The Dowager Empress Of China seems
to be a most interchangeable woman.
What her age Is who can tell? But she
is beginning to intrigue once more, and
the legation guards at Picking are keep
ing sharp lookout for anti-foreign
outbreaks She has a thoroughly
celestial hatred of foreigners which has
not been improved By the humiliation OF
her flight from Picking and the discom-
forts Of that hasty Journey That the
trouble in China win begin all over
again, we must be quite prepared for.
Public opinion in China Is that the Bar
barians were defeated by the ever vic
torious troops Of the Empire.

GOT STRANGE FISH.

Fish Inspector Berndt has discovered
another new fish IT is called the walu
The specimen caught today measures
feet inches i'm length and ~ inches in
width 1t is a dark color and has quite
a sharp nose. The peculiar feature Of
the fish is the character Of its scales
Instead of having the ordinary rounded
kind, closely tapping over each other,
the walu's scales are about half an inch
apart and the end exposed has two
prongs on making the surface of the
fish a painful place TO rub the wrong
way. Mr.. Brendt will preserve the FISH
for President Jordan.

problem here. On this issue there is
naturally wide differences of opinion. To
this issue we now seem to be hasten
ing.
l insist that this is not a. question Of
whether the Spiritual welfare of a multi
tude as a whole, waiting for instruction.
can be best subserved by feeding them on
the ground, by performing miracle, by
which miracle the most striking object
lesson could be given or by allowing the
multitude to dispense; but it is a ques-
ton whether two races mingled together
in strifes and antagonisms, born Of deep
seated race prejudices which are increas-
ing, shall continue to try to live thus
related, with the present outlook for the
future, or whether the races shall sepa-
rate.
If I am in error, shall be glad TO
have it shown.
Although, for years. I have given some
what close and serious thought to this
problem of the races. especially in the
South. noting and considering much of the
opinions expressed from various points OF
view, I shall not here attempt to offer
a solution of this difficult problem. I have
yet reached no absolute conclusions as tc
the wisest and only right solution of it.
Though strongly inclined to one specific
remedy for the affections under which
we are laboring, I am not absolutely sure
that am right as some seem to- be that
they are, who have given it very little
attenton-andam waiting for more
light.
The question is too large, the problem
too complex, involving too many condi-
tons for one mind, however strong
and disciplined. to grasp the whole ques-
ton without error on some point: to sur
vey the whole field and see all the truth.
It behooves all of US to be tolerant Of
differences of view; to approach the
study of this momentuous and difficult
problem in the spirit of the true student,
seeking only truth. I would that this
question could be rid of anything which
partakes of the nature and influences
of sectional and. If you please. party
lines and prejudices, and that all might
study it in the spirit above indicated.
If what have said shall be the means
Of calling out fuller. intelligent, and dis
passionate discussion Of this problem
and truth be furthered. I shall be content.

in an extended way, to discuss any one

much upon this serious and much dis

HOW TO GET GOOD COUNCIL

We have great respect for The opinion
of the Hon. Sam Stern on some subjects,
but Mr. Stern is wrong when he says that
'if the grand jury continues along the
line on which it set out when the next
election comes there will be no candidates
for the Council
The grand jury is trying to ascertain If
any members of Council have been be-
traying their trust and using the power
which they possess to put money into
their own pockets. There has for a long
time been a suspicion that such men were
in the Council, and this has had the ef-
feet to discourage many honest patriots
from offering for a position in that body
When the report Of the grand jury shall
have been made the people VIII then
know whether or not these suspicious
were we'll founded II it be ascertained
that ali such charges were groundless the
CITY Council will be in better repute as
a body; if it be found that dishonest men
have crept in they will be apprehended
and punished as they deserve. and the
= AOOQCll Will De puiSeu anu l'uiihSu.
Mr.. Stern also suggests that the way 10
get a good Council is to pay members for
their services. There again we disagree
with him. The best service which any
city can have is the free-will service of
its patriotic citizens. 1t Is a great sac
rifice for a busy man TO serve in either
branch of the City Council: but if the
Council be an honorable and righteous
body OF men there will be found in this
community plenty Of honorable and
righteous men to serve.
The best thing that can be done for
the Council. from every point of view, is
for it to be put beyond the pale of sus-
picion. That being done. honorable men
In the community will be ready to take
= position therein and render an honest
and honora bic service.

AN HOUR WITH VIRGINIA EDITORS,

I, latrre masses a law allowing persons VINO
engage in duels to serve as jurors. This
is decided gain for the code OF honor
in Virginia. Only two more steps needed
to revive the dueling pracuce in all its
pristine vigor. and they are to allow the
duelist to vote and to hold Office.
Culpeper Exponent: IF Governor Hon
tague is a. wise man, he will hurry up
and appoint the members of the Corpora
ton Commission. The applicants for
the good fat jobs are increasing every
day The longer he delays the appoint
ments the larger will be the number of
disappointeeS and future opponents.
The Charlottesville Progress is decidedly
in favor OF the secret ballot. 1t says:
'"The fact that viva voce voting was
used for $50 years in the past, is no ar
gument for its continuance in the pres
ent. Stage coaches had similar useful
careers we believe. To-day's needs are
the needs to be considered. AS far as
absolute unbiased action goes. we believe
that the secret ballot frther the best
method of voting, either from danger

'Beer and tobacco ought to be cheaper.
The tax on beer was cut in half the
1st OF this month. and the tax on to-
bacco was reduced from nine and three
fifth cents per pound to six cents.
The Culpeper Enterprise informs us that
the Bank of Rappahannnock has been
transformed into the National Bank Of
Rappahannock. and says:
THE good people of Rappahannock are
to be congratulated upon the advent of
a national bank in their rural district.
The credit of this is largely due to the
energy and ability of its president, Gull
peper's great financier, Mr.. c. J. RiXey."
