The NEW FREE BRIDGE,

Restrictions on traffic are restrictions on
civilization. This was the idea that AMI
mated the great campaign by Richard
Golden in the forties, for free trade, and
the outcome justified his prophecy and

MAYOR JETER QUALITIES.
A New Town Starts Up In Heur:eo-News In
the County,

The incorporation OF Paramount meets
with the approval of the great majority
of the citizens of the place. and 1t is
thought that it will have upon the COM
nunity a better effect than would the re-
turning to the county-a plan once advo-
Gated by some. At all events the little
town and it's officers will make every eff
fort to push forward and grow. Fair
mount is now f1ourishing little place,
containing some 500 Or Geo souls.
The Council OF Paramount will be called
to meet at some early date. Mr.. deter
hoped to be able to do so by Tuesday
next, but this may not be possible. II he
cannot do SO he will get the body together
as early thereafter as he can. The hrst
business Of the Council will be organiza-
ton; then the consideration of the sani-
tary conditions existing in the town. 1t
is very likely that town sergeant will
be appointed at some time In the near fu-
ture.
A mad dog strolling around Solmons

cities. Tho Business Mems Association
and the City Council Of Manchester have
Joined with the Chamber Of Commerce
and business men of Richmond in urg-
ing the adoption of a bill by the Legisla-
ture which will empower the Manchester
and Richmond Free Bridge Company to
buy or condemn the Mayo Bridge, or, fall
ing in that to construct a parallelN bridge
across the James River.
The act is framed with care to protect
the rights of the stockholders of the Mayo
Bridge by giving them the opportunity to
SELL IL they see fitto do. If, however, they
decline to sell. the Free Bridge Company
may) condemn that property or build a
bridge parallel to 1t. The need of free
and sufficient means Of communication
between Richmond and Manchester is
pressing and apparent The two cities are
mutually dependent and helpful. Many
residents of each city work in the other.
To many such, especially women and
girls, the charge Of even two cents a day
for toll Is an onerous and unnecessary
burden. It is obvious. from the proyi'
sions of the act in question, that the in
corporators believe bridge can be con-
structed which will derive sufficient re-
venue from its charges upon transmission
and transportation companies to defray
the interest upon the bonds issued for its
construction, If not to pay FOR its orisi-
nal cost.
Such a bridge as that now in conten-
p!aton will be Of the greatest good to
both Richmond and Manchester. It will
enhance the value Of the manufacturing
sites in the business sections of both cities.
It will open up wider field for stores and
| merchandising. It will make it easier for
those who so desire to live in one city and
work in the other. In a, word, it will
bring those resulting benefits that inevi-
tably come from a move in the right di-
rcction.
The accomplishment Of the object aimed
at by this bill Is. and ought to be. ear
nestly desired by the large-minded and
catriotic representatives of both cities.

THE CnaALr.. Oh EArOsiIlON.

Major A. NJ. Wheeler, the assistant di-
Gector-general Of the Charleston Expo
stion, is in Richmond personally to eN-
invitation Of the exposition company and
the city Of Charleston to visit them. The
v. NJ. /. cadets, under Colonel Ship,
have arranged to go OF April Il. The ca
Gcts of Blacksburg, 400 strong, will so
on the 9th Of April. The list Rcgi-
ment, Col Higgins CT Norfolk, viii also
attend 500 strong, and 4 Staun-
ton company have arranged to so.
II is probable that several companies
from Richmond will attend some time in
April, possibly when Governor Montague
and staff go, which, it is expected, will
be about the 18th proximo. AT present
that date is favored by the Governor.
but his movements will be controlled by
the action Of the Legislature upon the
matter of adjournment He is unable
at present to specify date that will
not be subject to change.
Tt is expected that the Lynchburg, Dan
vile and other military companies will at
tend.
Major Wheeler. who is an exposition
expert, says the Charleston show is a
Nashville in almost every particular. The
attendance thus far has been limited
as Chicago and Buffalo were up to the
third or fourth month. An exceptionally
cold winter has prevailed. Scarcely one
evening for the past two and one-half
months has been sufficiently warm to in
&ite the. visitors to attend after dark.
The attendance however, is increas-
ing daily and it is well worth the price
OF the trip. which is $3.50 from Richmond
to- Charleston and return. From all
parts Of Virginia the price will be 50 per
cent of one fare for the round trip.
These rates are for Easter or Educa-
tional Week-darch 9th to April 3D.
and for Virginia Day-nrobably about
April 18th. Aside from the exposition,
Charleston IS rich In other attractions.

sociations, and there are Thu neighboring

A Washington correspondent says:

''It is expected that when Secretary
Cortelyou returns next week from Can
ten, for which place he started this eve
ming, to visit Mrs. Mckinley he will
have all the bills caused by the illness,
death and burial of the late President in
hand. and Will be ready to present an
itemized account 20 Senator Hanna, who
will introduce q bill for an appropriation
to defray these expenses How much
the account will amount to is not known
within $4,000 or more. though that it
will exceed several hundred thousand
