The Good Of Kicking.

Tho CORRESPONDENT Of one OF our north.
err exchanges raises the point MS to
whether or not It does good for people to
complain through the newspapers OF puo-
lie Inconvenience public nuisanoes, pup.
lie abuses. and the like.
or course, it does good. to complain,
provided only the complaint DO Just and
reasonable. It Is this sort OF publicity
which gives the press Its power. But cor
RESPONDENTS ought to be careful how they
complain They ought not to rush into
print with every little personal grievance
That they may have and exaggerate con-
d,tions, They ought not to make unjust
complaints against street car COM
panies telephone companies and other
Quasi public companies and public otn-
ciaIs, They ought not to understate or
overstntc the case; they ought not to
misead or misrcprcsent. A complaint
based upon false premise Will do no
good. But It does a great deal Of good
for citizens to make 1ust and righteous
complaints against public servants or
whatever character. The trouble In this
community Is that our people do NOT
complain enough. They may complain
TO n neghbor or to the folks at home,
hut the disposition Of the average Rich
mond citizen Is to take things good
naturally and submit to injustice rather
than make public complaint through the
newspapers or otherwise.
In point of fact It is the duty OF n
good citizen to make complaint when
the representatives of street car COM
pany or. telephone company or railroad
company or any public official disresards
the rules or the law. II citizens would
only take this trouble, 1t would not be
long before the public service would be
greatly improved and complaints wouls
not be necessary.

What Regulates Prices.

A correspondent of the New York
Times, writing from the workingman's
point of view, asks how laborers are TO
decide what is a just wage rate, and
replies that If he Is dissatisfied with his
wages and stops work and his employer
gets workman as efficient and reliable
at the same price, 1t proves that wages
are high enough; II he gets only inferior
help at the same price, 1t proves that
in that case they are too low.
That Is fair statement provided
there be no combination on the part of
the workmen III that particular craft
assisted by other labor organizations TO
prevent outsiders from taking the job.
Labor Is a commodity and the price OF
it Will be regulated by the law of demand
and supply provided no extraordinary
influences be brought TO bear, This Is
true of any other commodity. IT is true.
for example. of cotton. But a number
of men may get together and buy up the
supply Of cotton and corner" 1t, and
so make the price to suit themselves re-
gardiess OF any natural Law of trade. The
manufacturers of any line of goods may
by combination control the production
and supply OF such goods and thereby
control the price. And so worlIasmen
may by combination put the price OF
labor above the price that it would be
under normal conditions and when reg
ulated by the operation of the natural
lava OF trade.

The Next Reunion,

Nashville is making great preparations
for the reunion of the United Confed-
rate veterans, to be held there on June
18th. 18th and 18TH and is promising tho
most successful of all reunions. The
entertainment OF the old soldiers will be
the principal feature this year. All vet
Grams who so desire will be entertained
by the committee, and meals will be
served during the entire reunion from
III the morning until 6 in the evening"
One of the most interesting features
Will be the Jefferson Davis memorial SER
vice to be held at Christ Church on the
morning Of the 14th at 1890 o'clock. The
address will be delivered by Rt. Rev
Thomas A. Gailor. bishop of Tennessee,
2'hcse reunions become more and moro
interesting from year 10 year, as COM
paratively few of the veterans are left
and It will not be many years before they
will all have passed over to the ever
lasting bNouac on the other side.
we hope the dear old fellows. who are
yet alive, will have the time of their
lives this year at Nashville.

SORROW FELT HERE.
Death Of Mr.. George P. Holman
Shocked Richmond Friends.

The announcement here Of the death
OF Mr. George T. Holman, son of tho
late Judge William Holman and Mrs.
Anna II Holman. Of Fluvanna county
has caused much sorrow among the
Richmond friends Of the young man.
Mr.. Holman had just returned from
Tennessee. and went with force of
twenty-three hands at $3.50 a. NJ. last
Thursday morning to inspect some work
which was being done in tunnel at
Boxley. w Va. he being in the employ
of BoXley and Carpenter, contractors.
a cave-in occurred soon after he entered
the tunnel. He was struck on the head
with large fragment of rock and both
legs were badly mangled. He never re-
covered consciousness, and death inter-
vened to set him free in arfew hours.
Mr.. Holman's body was brought to his
home at Bremo. and his funeral services
were held at New Canton Church on
Saturday last by the Rev. G. II. Snead.
His widowed mother and the other mem
bers Of the family have the sympathy Of
the community in their bereavement.

The Suicide Mania.

Every now and then, when there IS an
endemic Of suicide in some large city,
We are almost sure to have sermon
from preacher or newspaper on the pace
that kills" In these sermons we are
told that men go at such a rush in the
cities and live so fast and SO riotously
that they become tired all too soon and
put themselves out of the way by their
own hand.
But how are we to account for the large
number Of suicides in the country?
Within the past several months The
Times Dispatch has recorded four or
five, and possibly six, cases Of suicide
in tho rural districts Of Virginia Most
of the persons who thus took their own
lives were farmers and so far as we can
recall nc special cause was assigned.
1t is hard to understand how a man
who has been reared on farm who
has lived close to nature; who has day
in and day out seen the oft-rcpeated and
unmstakablo proofs Of God and Gods
power and Gods goodncss-it is strange,
we say, how man thus brought UP can In
the very presence as IT were, Of the
Divinity, take his own life.

The Primary Exalted.

There Is good news from Norfolk. The
Landmark says that when the Constitu-
tional Convention put into the funda-
mental law provisions protecting the fair
ness OF the general elections. 1t was
presumed that there would be no cues
ton about fairness Of party primaricsi
but that In Norfolk 1t has been taken ull-
expectedly hard fighting to establish the
principle of fairness In primaries among
Democrats. But the Landmark ls no"
encouraged to hope that the plan adopt
ed by the City Democratic Committee FOR
the primary to be held next THURSDAY
marks the beginning of the new era IN
local politics. and that If the plan is adj
ministered In the spirit In which 1T ap-
pears to have been drawn--if men OF
high character are selected as officials hr
election--a noteworthy precedent VIII
have been set and Norfolk politics VII!
cease to be stencil In the nostrlls OF
the State Tho Landmark regards the
plan as eminently fairn intent and en-
tirely satisfactory. with a single exccp-
ton.
The virglnian-Pilot says that the plan
would seem to make 1t sure that the
Forthcoming primary will be absolutely
fair. Under this plan" says our contem-
porary, leach side will have IN officer
Of election. Each side will have two
watchers insides to observe the bulloing,
and the counting of the ballot. And the
electoral board will name the man who
stays outside to help the lliteratc voters
"The electoral board is composed OF
as clean men as there are'in the town.
That they will name straight men as, as
sistants to the voters goes without snS-
ing, With straight mon outside to mark
tho ballots and with both sides repre-
scented by Judges and watchers inside,
it ought to be clear to the man who can
find his way through the front door In
the morning that the primary must be
fair"
This is encouraging and reassurng 1t
is a step forward, and the Norfolk
Democracy has 1t within its power to do
splendid work in establishing tho prl-
mary election principle in Virginia.
Petersburg has already done good work
In having n perfectly fair primary in
that city, the IndeX-Appeal giving as
surance that there was no complaint, and
no cause for complaint concerning the
manner in which the primary was con-
Quoted.
Richmond has already had a primary
under the new electorate, which re-
suited in great popular victory, and the
Democrats OF Richmond will soon have
the opportunity Of expressing themselves
on the primary election principle. In
our next primary election each voter Will
have the privilege of.saying by his ballot
whether ot-'not" he believes in that prin-
ciple, whether or not he wants to see
the principle thoroughly established IN
Virginia We hope that the Democrats
of Richmond will take advantage OF the
opportunity thus afforded to make known
to their brethren throughout the entire
State that they are heartily in favor of
primary elections as means of ascertain
ing the choice of candidates in all party
