Is 1T FIRE OR ONLY SMOKE ?

Some of the Richmond dailies have
lately been calling upon the people
of the Capital City to exercise more
care in the selection of cOuncilmen in
the future than has been the case
heretofore. Indeed, there have been
some statements made by public
officials that in no way reflect credit
upon some OF that city's fathers.
What does it all mean? Is it fire or
only smoke? Is Richmond becoming
Tammanyized? Is it true that some
councilmen in Richmond want pay
for every public act that they per
form?
We ask these questions injustice to
both the accusers and the accused.
If public officials are demanding a
bride from every citizen who desires
the passage of some ordinance,
whether public or private, it is the
duty Of the one, from whom pay Is
asked, to report the same to the
proper authorities and have the
guilty ones punished and stamped
~sefore the world asimprOper persons
TO receive the support Of decent citi-
zens; on the contrary, ii these reports
are only rumors without foundation,
then the City Council of Richmond
should demand public investigation
of all their official acts and thereby
set themselves straight before the
world.

OLD ST. JOHNS CHURCH.

1t is reported in Richmond that
negotiations are under way for the
sale OF old st. Johns church.
Thus another OF the country's his
tOric structures is about to be sacri-
feed to the relentless march Of mod
ern commercialism.
In this old church, more than a
century ago, words were spoken by
Patrick Henry that at once took
root in every Americans heart and
brought forth the prolific and ever
blooming flower of American indie
pendence. Words that caused old
men to feel young and active again;
words that made even the little
children feel that there was some
thing for which to live: words that
were like the flaming torch applied
to dry stubble leaping here and yon-
der. causing the complete annihila-
ton OF the British army and the
overthrow OF British oppression.
Those words, GIVE me liberty or
give me DEATH" spoken so dehantly,
and hurled as a challenge to King
George, by this famous Nirginian,
won the plaudits of men OF every
race and cline, and had much to do
with the upbuilding OF this nation OF
free men.
We sincerely hope that this his
toric spot will be preserved in MEM
ory OF him, whose great speech has
made, not only himself, but hisnative
State also famous.
