Virginia's Home joining Week,

| = Il.
It is agreed on NIL sides that Ken.
lstucky's Home Coming Week was a sue.
cess from every point OF view. It is esti-
mated that there were from IS 900 to &c, oD0
home-comers. and the class ofzspeople
who attended We're Of the best. & Mayor
Barth thinks that the Homecoming has
been of more benefit to Louisville ana
Kentucky than anything, OF the sort that
has occurred. ~
Apart from the practical advantages
thus derived; sthe oecasioB was, most de-
lightful in assentlmentalFand social way,
Wandering Kentuck tans from all parts Of
the country were brought home. and
not only met their rela tivess and friends
still residing In the State, but met each
other after years Of separation. and the.
reunion can better BIO imagined than
described. Many old friends were thus
brought together who otherwise would
never have met again In this world. II
was an occasion long to be remembered
in Kentucky. and was enjoyable alike
to the visitors and the folks at home. tg
Virginia must have such celebration
next year, and Richmond should be the
Mecca Virginia has more sons and
daughters at large than any other State
OF the Union. and there is every reason
to suppose that our homecoming celehra-
ton will be even more successful than
ke sr Think Of bringing 10 Rich
mo On J. fifty thousand yirgintans who are
now residents OF other States! What a
joyful meeting IT will be! Our home
coming week should be coinc.dent with
the Confederate reunion.

A Surrender to the Packers.

"A Surrender to the Packers.
The Democratic members of the Com
Smittce on Agriculture were right In re-
fusing to yield to the demands OF the
beef trust that the cost of meat inspec-
88t.on be borne by the government. Captain
s. Lamb, of Virginia, called attention to the
fnct that tthirty-five per cent. OF the
people Of the country never buy, a pound
OF beef III my form, raising all meat
they consume. He thought It manifesuy
( unfair to compel these to help pay the
cost OF inspection, which is for the pur-
pose of compelling the packers to put
up undiseased and clean meats and 10
&c store to them the trade which they say
has been lost.
Captain Lamb reasons well. OF course,
the packers would not have paid the
cost of inspection, had the bill provided
that the cost be taxed against them. The
q consumer would have paid the tax as
usual. But would that have been unfair?
The inspection bill is not for the benefit
Of the whole people, but only for a class
OF people-for the benefit OF those who
consume the meats Of the packers-acd
a t is only fair that those who get the
benefit should pay the cost. Why should
"a Virginia farmer who eats the meat of
his own pastures be made to pay his
share of the cost Of inspecting meats
shipped out of Chicago? The coed old
rule is that they who dance should pay
the fiddler The tax on alcoholic liquors
.tand tobacco is paid by the consumers OF
those articles. Why should not the tax
pa inspected meats be paid by the con
srners also? 8 is
But some may ask why should the
packers object to the tax II 1t comes at
4 last out OF the consumer. For the simple
i reason that they would have to advance
the money and reimburse themselves by
Increasing the, price OF thel, products.
i and increased prices would mean de-
creased creased sales. The President and the
