A Belated Tribute.

We print elsewhere on this page a sig
| nificant article from the Washington
Post on "Radicalism triumphant" The
article is designed to show that the safe
and sane" Democracy is dead, or dormant.
and that the radical elemen, is now in
control: that the influence of Hearst is
now far greater than the influence of
Cleveland But the paragraph in the
Posts article which especially attracts
our attention Is that which alludes to
the campaign of 1886. 'In that year
says our contemporary, the Palmer and
Buckner party was the only conservative
political force, and the only sound money
party in the lot When that party dis
solved, conservatism went into retirement,
to emerge long enough to nominate
Parker and Davis in 1904 for Mr.. Bryan's
following at the West and North to stab
in the back. 1t would have been more
manly for Mr.. Bryan's friends 10 have
followed the example of the sound money
Democrats In 1896, and bolted openly
and fagrantly.'
We have no desire to revive the issues
OF 1885, and thresh them over at this late
day. But we cannot but recall the fact
that one3of the most enthusiastic of the
supporters of the Bryan Democracy in
1895, and one Of the bitterest defamers OF
the Palmer and Buckner contingent was
the Cincinnati Enquirer, and the man
who then owned the Cincinnati Enquirer
now owns and directs the Washington
! Post.
If there be any Palmer and Buckner
Democrats left they must be gratiaed
at this beautiful, If belated tribute from
| Editor Mclean. Appreciation from Sir
| Herbert is praise indeed.

The Road to Underwater.

In the proceedings of the Common
Council on Monday night 1t developed
that the Richmond and Chesapeake Bay
Railroad is to be built in substantial
manner with the best material and that
1t is to have the lest modern equipment
and first class terminal facilities In Rich
mond.
Mr. Gould, rs we understand, does not
expect this road to pay at the start, but
he expects 1t to ne a valuable feeder
TO his other lines and hopes in time to
build up for the new road sufficient
traffic to make 1t in itself paying IN
vestment. For this reason he will build
substantially and trust to the future for
for his remuneration. We believe, that his
brightest hopes will be realized The new
road will tap O. rich section-o the coun-
try which is now dependent entirely on
water transportation and which has no
direct communication with Richmond. It
would be gratifying to know that any
sort of road would be built: 1t Is more
gratifying to know that the road will
be first class in every particular and that
the management will endeavor to develop
the country which the road will pene-
trate. 1t is good fortune, that after all
these years of agitation. after all the
many schemes that have been talked
about in Richmond and the Northern
Neck. a New Yorker should come down
and build the road without asking any
help except the good will and friendly
cooperation of the people.
OF course, Mr.. Gould is not doing this
for patriotism, but the service is none
the less valuable. In fact it is much to
the purpose and to our benefit that the
road should prove to be money-maker.
we believe 1t will.

Nothing could io easier TO ridicule than
the getting together of a few hot-hehded
and inexperienced young men With tho
hvowcd plan of reforming the universs.
That aspect of the matter is so facila
and obvious that wo wonder some of our
contemporaries should be ut the pains
of developing ii so deliberately. Another
phase OF the matter, certainly. Is no less
worthy OF comment. Rich young men
who honestly 20 TO work to improve
existing social conditions may be alto
Sethcr mistaken, even ridiculous. But
there is nothing contemplate or ignoablc
about them. Simply to sit still In the
enjoyment OF their wealth which they
found ready made for them, would no
doubt be both easier and pleasanter. TO
tousy themselves to change or overthrow
industrial machinery from which they
personally have got nothing but favors
implies disinterestedn as uncommon
as 1t Is praiseworthy; and this fact
called nbsurdity of theory or practice
should be permitted to obscure. Simply
to lnugh them down tho Yind, as some
of our friends seem inclined to do, as
egotistic and unflcdged young dreamcrs.
Is to give them considerably less than
their plain due.

A Hint to Educators.

A wide-awake merchant In Richmond
once remarked in our hearing that 1t
was no longer necessary for him to al
Ncrtise his name. BY this he meant to
say that as the Arm was a very old one
and had been doing business for many
years in this community the store itself
was so we'll known that It needed no
advertising per sc. Yet that merchant
was one of the largest advertisers In
Richmond, There was never a day that
he did not have column or more In the
daily newspapers and on Sunday he had
a page, He did not need to advertise
his store, hut he did need to advertise
the goods in the store-thc special at
fractions which he was Offering from
time to time,
We relate this incident by way Of Civ
| Ing a practical hint to those of our cor
respondents who discuss the question Of
! popular education. 1t Is no longer nec-
essary to argue that education is good !;
that the public school system is neoes-
