THE orrLool< FOR zoos.

The year 1907. now drawing to q
close. is unprecedented in Richmond's
history for progress and prosperity.
Every branch of trade and industry
mas prospered; our financial institutions
nave added to their surplus, buildings
have multiplied, and 1t was pre-cmi

istence as a city. In all respects 1t
was our banner year, and the results
are gratifying If not entirely satisfac-
tory.
But we cannot live on our history.
The past is secure. but what of the
future? What has the year 1903 in
store for us? Time alone can answer
but the prospect, If not altogether
bright, is far from gloomy. In the
country at large there is n backset in
business. and Richmond necessarily
feels 1t moro or less. The New York
bank panic is over and money is III
better supply, out the full effect of 1t
.is not yet known, and will not be for
several months to come. Moreover,
presidential year is approaching, ami
the uncertainties involved IN presi-
genital contest always have a quieting
effect on trade. But there is nothing
in the outlook as it presents itself -

.asiness in Richmond. Our financial In
ytitutions have not been impaired but

But, after all. prosperity, under the
most favorable conditions, is a matter

Individual effort in Richmond is we'll

TELL TT TO TuE MARINES.

According to the Associated Press
reports the resignation of Rcar-Ad
raj Brownson as chief of the Bureau
OF Navigation is "shrouded in mystery"
1t may be mysterious" and the public
may be entirely in the dark as to the
real reason for the admiral's sudden
retirement from his post, but 1t will
be hard to convince old sailors that
the broadsidc lately fired at our ships
of war by a agazine-writer had
nothing to do with 1t, The publca-
ton OF that ationll article and the
retirement almost immediately of Mr.
Brownson may have been a chance
coincidence, but only the marines will
believe 1t. At any rate the Incident
will give. color to the charges against
the navy contained in the Mcclure ar
ticle. and draw public attention more
and more to the alleged defects and
mismanagement. If the Democratic
leaders will keep sharp lookout they
may find political capital in that di-
recticn.

MEN WHO CAN'T GET WIVES.

In any new country in process of
being opened up, 1t Is n safe wager
that there will not be nearly enough
there. the richest the ablest, the
strongest can manage'to secure them.
The Others, whatever their own pref
.crences in the matter, remain bncle-
accepted axiom that any man who
wants to get married can do so. In
n sense, however. 1t Is hardly fair to
say that such men do disprove that
axiom, because nobody can surmount
obstacles and no man
can get n wife where there are no
wives TO be got. Further. 1t is worth,
noting that where there are a number
os men desiring wives in any new
country there is always womanly
migration III the same direction, and
1T is not long before the happy we'd
ding bells ring out.
But there is evidence that there arc
other men, differently situated who
tWouid ike 10 nave wives ana can l Scl

ttnt Il certain liner had brought over
LOO husband seeking English and
Irish girls the lines Office, SO the dis
patches state. was promptly dcluged
with letters from gcntlemanly Barkises
who were more than willing. Not all
of these letters came from the remote
West by any means They came from
dsnsely populated States like Ohio. and
even from cities of very comfortable
size. They came. in short. from the
nelghborhood Of women and apparent
ly, therefore, from men who, though
they wanted wives and were in touch
with matrimonial possibilities, had
vainly knocked at the gate of Hymen.
There is n fine field here for the "hu-
man interest" writer of articles. Who
are these men who, having failed to
secure wife of their own choosing,
always bob up at advertised opportu-
mites, anxious to marry, as 1t We're
sight unseen? What manner of men
are they? What is tho matter with
them? How does there happen to be
enough OF them to make the path of
the matrimonial agent at all times
an affair of roses and Astounding fees?
