TO the Common Council.

Il For two months the city of Richmond
has suffered under the present intolerable
conditions Of congestion, because the adj:
herents Of one plan Of expansion were
unable to carry out their own scheme
and unwilling to allow any compromise TO
become an ordinance. Meanwhile the
public welfare md comfort have been
neglected, and the time has come to call
a halt.
The Times Dispatch Is still Of the
opinion that the Mills plan is utterly
valuclcss so fur rs relieving the over
crowding of tho city is concerned. and IN
addition Will add heavy financial burdens
without proportionate benefits to the
taxpayers of this community. Apparently
that is the opinion OF more than one
third Of the Common Council, for the
Mills plan Is still lying on the table.
we are also still of the opinion that
so important a mntter>a as city expansion
should be by practically unanimous con-
sent-and again we find the Council and
Board OF Aldermen in two camps
lids, however, evident that acting under
tho lead of Messrs. Cannon and Pollock,
the Common Council is about to have
done with this shilly-shallying, and will
Introduce compromise measure.
H If this Is done, and me new lines arc
reasonable. the ori,onents Of such COM
promise will be in9tvery fact fighting
against the imperative needs of the city.
The public interest Is neither dead nor
sleeping, and the time has come when
tho vociferous friends Of annexation must
not nullify their protcstations by re-
fusing anything except their chosen
scheme. AS Mr.. Roosevelt said to the
late Mr. Hanna, Either fish or cut bait,
but do not longer delay the progress Of

Let US Not Lose Faith.

:, I II
Wisconsin is still going ahead with her
house cleaning, slxty-scven indictments
against twenty-five individuals, for the
most part former county officials, having
been handed down by the grand jury on
Tuesday in the municipal court of Mil
waukce. Nearly all the indictments
charge bribery in q sum Of dollars, the
amounts having been paid to present or
former county officials In connection With
the awarding OF county contracts for
the erection of an addition to the county
hospital several years ago,
Again We exclaim, God save the coun-
Try. from graft. It seems to be our
nat!onul disease. and mep in all stations
have become more or less infected.
4 But let us not be pcsslmist!c. Let us
remember that the graftcrs are the ex-
ceptlons and that the number Of honest
and faithful men Is larger than ever
before in the worlds history At least,
This is our belief We hear of more cases
of betrayal because this is an age OF Of
publicity. 1t is almost Impossible for
faithless officials to 60 on very long
without detection, and when they are
detected they are exposed through the.
nublic press. The power Of such pub
liclty is beyond computation. 1t Is n
power for righteousness and It Is having
its influence. The standard of public
morals is high and Is getting higher all
the time, the pesslmists to the contrary
Notwithstanding. We have not faslen
upon evil times. The times arc growing
better in all respects. Therefore, let us
not reach the false and disastrous con-
clusion that all public officials are faith
less, or even of suspicious character.
public man recently remarked that
the worst cals%nity that could befall this
land wouldbe FOR all It's officials to .bo-
come corrupt: and that the next worst
calamity would be for the people to be-
lieve that all officials were corrupt. With
out faith We can do nothing. 1t Is the
Foundation of commerce, finance. gov
eminent and the entire social system Of
civilization, And our faith should not be
shaken because some men have betrayed
their trust Let the good work Of dis
covering and exposing and furnishing the
graftcrs so on. We are clearing the
moral atmosphere and making 1t sweet
er. We are saving the standard OF public
morals. The mere fact that there is
popular indignation is q sign that the
people are honest, ana II they be true
to themselves they will eventually eve,
all the graftcrs and I'll their places with
honest men. Recent disclosures are
enough TO excite elisguest and indigna-
zion. but. in heavens name, let them
not destroy our faith.

Our Southern Railroads.

from the same source. we suggested
