Bucna Vista is well located and It was

on good foundation. but one reason
why it rospered while others failed is
TO be found in the fact that 1t was one
of the first of these towns to be started,
and it was well under way when the hard
times came Or course there was a great
deal of claptrap in the Virginia boom. and
town after town was started for the SIM

There was nothing to give these lots

were well advanced IN construction when
the panic came. If the boom had kept

Tne GREAT CORPORATION OF RICHMOND.

At tho Academy on Friday evening Mr.
Carlton Mccarthy again gave striking
statement of the idea that the citizens OF
Richmond are all members OF great cor
poration in which they are stockholders.
whether they will or no. The very word
corporation has both a natural and
legal meaning that includes great bodies
of men, whethe: they be gathered >osether
for the purpose OF mining COAL operating
q railroad. or by choosing one locality
for their houses and homes. seeking to
give each man a larger measure of com
fort and happiness than he could procure
for himself alone.
No individual can attempt to build
aratcrworks and gasworks for his own
private convenience, or to lay out PARKS
and streets, and erect theatres and pubic
buildings, unless he be a millionaire and
even then his success will depend upon
the help and presence of his fellow
men But even the millionaire, no matter
how rich and great he may be, cannot
have policemen to protect his property
and courts wherein he may try his wrongs
and assert his rights unless the people
of his ncighborlIood are sufficiently nu-
merous to create these courts under the
general law. So we see that by as
senabling themselves together unimportant
individuals can acquire rights and priv
fleges which cannot be obtained by even
the richest and most prominent when
xhey live apart.
The mere fact of coming to live in a
Z community makes a man member of
that corporation, and as a member he is a
great or small stockholder according as
his wealth in that community is greater or
less Each one pays for his share of
stock by the taxes that are yearly as
scssed and collected. and he gets back his
dividends in wafer, and light, streets,
parks, public buildings. schools and po-
lice protection. According as these div
fdends are of better or worse grade and
cost less or more money. the stakeholder

where for the same money more advan
taEes are given to the citizens are justly

corporation get the biggest d vidand. But
iii many cities the people nave come to re-
gard taxation as a necessary and unavoid-
able evil. With no corresponding benefit,
and when this view is held there is nearly
a oys q great deal to be SAID on the part
OF those holding it, for in such cities
more often than not the public pay their
taxes for that which is naugllt. and get
but q small part of those co.::co-+s which
they are Justly entitled to receive.
II Mr.. Mccarthy does nothing else, he
will have earned the gratitude of his
fellow citizens and conferred an inest-
mable benefit on this community If he
is able to make each citizen feel that he
has, as indeed. he has, a vital interest
in the successful management OF this
enormous corporation in which great and
small the rich and poor are alike stock
holders and alike entitled to receive div
idends. Tt needs but q demand on the
part of the public to insure the payment
of these dividends, and we may congrat-
nlate Mir. Mccarthy upon his effective
means for creating this demand.
