No OHense.

The Richmond Times-Dispatch has
found out that Richmond cannot re-
duce the taxes on the Chesapeake and
Ohio, and in its eagerness to do this town
some harm, it has pointed out that we
cannot discriminate in favor OF the rail-
road. Ordinarily we appreciate good ad-
vice, but In this case we do not, for the
people here know as we'll as The Times
Dispatch that the law plainly forbids
discrimination. and nothing OF the kind
was ever thought Of. The fact that there
is some foundation for the report that
we are to get the Offices has not COM
pletely taken our scnses.-Cnfton Forge
Review.
The statement was made IN good faith.
II was subsequently, stated, however.
that the proposition was to reduce the
general rate OF taxation at Clifton Forge,
which the city could well afford to do.
IL the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway
Company should determine to make Cif-
ton Forge its ''domicile.
The Times Dispatch will fight for Rich
mond's interests. but 1t will fight fairly.
and will not knowingly misrepresent
Clifton Forge.

Awav With Proxies.

The Brunswick Gazette reproduces some
expressions from the Norfolk Ledger and
The Timcs-Dispatch on tho subject Of
abolishing proxies In the State Central
Committee, with this comment:
1--WE are greatly gratihed to see the
daily press, and especially our able and
respected Richmond contemporary. taxi
Ing up the cudgels In favor OF abolishing
the abomnable habit that has grown
into an established custom OF permitting
representation in the committee meetings
Of the party by proxy. 1t should never
have been permitted. and the sooner the
custom lis abolished the better 1t will be.
not only for the reputation OF the COM
mittee, but for the party itself"
The Gazette says that 1t has for
years been fighting for this reform. and
hopes that 1t will soon be accomplished.
1t must DO done, Tho voting OF proxies
In the State Committee has fallen into
public contempt. and the committee must.
in its own interest and In the interest OF
party integrity. abolish 1t.

Bribery in Elections.

We have received the following from a
Virginia Judge:
"Your paper Is highly appreciated
around here, Its advocacy of the pure
elections law is particularly. approved.
It would be disgrace to the State to
repeal 1t. The Mann bill. too. Is very
popular. Tho viva voce vote Is disap-
proved generally"
II the Legislature should repeal this law
without giving the people something
better" there would DO mighty howl OF
protest from one end OF the State to the
other.
We must not take any step backward.
To repeal this law would be an invitation
to the corruptionist to spend money freely,
and our last state would be worse than

Cable dispatches state that the wound

throat trouble Is attributable In part to
the fact that he has done a good deal OF
public speaking of late.
While his physicians and surgeons IN
sist that his malady proceeds from a
disease of slight consequence, there are
thousands OF people In Germany and
elsewhere who suspect that he Is suffering
from cancer. OF course, the fact that
his mother and father and one OF his
