RIcHNoNp ANp THE NORMAL

IL there anything else in the way OF
State or Federal institutions and en-
terprises that Richmond does not
want7 Richmond, dear Richmond,
on the Jeems." We are very proud
OF our capital city. The Richmond
Journal, In advocating Richmond as
the location for a normal, refers to
other cities as technically so-called.
In this there is a stronger and
more persuasive argument and rea-
son why the normal should Relocated
here In fredericksburg. We have so
often set forth the advantages OF
Fredericksburg for this school it is
unnecessary to repeat them here; but
as q matter OF equity and right,
should not Virginia locate her va
rious institutions so as to identity
each section with the State, that they
. may feel they are a part OF the State
government? These sections bear
their fair share OF the burden OF
taxes; in peace and in war they have
battled for the State, and to concen-
trate at Richmond all State institu-
tions would do harm to these sec
tions. The reasons given by the
Richmond Journal why the normal
should be located at Richmond. ex-
lists to a limited degree in this city,
though it may be technically socalled,
and the limitations are very much
for the benefit of the norm al and are
good reasons why it should be To-
Gated here A very stupendously and
extravagantly immense city, such as
the great, glorious and growing
Richmond on the Jeems, is not in all
respects q proper place for the nor
NAL Our contemporary is surely
not serious. Our city, technically
so-called, has always stood by Rich
mond and we ask now that our cap
ital city shall be for us. Tell your
Richmond representatives that Tide
water and Eastern Virginia ask
that the normal shall be located
here, and see that they vote for this
alphabetically so-called." We are
entitled to it; the territory tributary

The passage OF the r. F. 4 p. re-
peal bill through both branches of
the Legislature, and it's signature by
Gov. Swanson, brings to an end one
OF tho most interesting contests
which has taken place in the Legis-
iature for many years. 1t was
splendid fight and a great victory, in
which the people triumphed. The
overwhelming majority by which the
bill passed both Houses is a compli-
ment to the intelligence of the law
makers, and it puts the State
squarely and consistently right on
the Democratic principle OF
equal rights to all and special
privileges to none" Not only have
the peoples representatives dealt
fairly with the citizens OF this section
OF the State, but in our Judgment
they have in no way injured in any
manner the R. F. & P. Railroad, or
the States interest therein. The
interest Is a valuable asset, no less
valuable now than it was before the
repeal bill passed, and the State can
now hold her stock without the
charge or inference that that interest
stands between the State and fair
treatment OF any section thereof.
Ths Legislature stood true to Demo-
cratic principles when it repealed the
Law.
