* Though the matter lies somewhat
outside of ordinary editorial cogni-
zance, The Times-Dispatch expresses
its regret at the news that the stock
company now playing at the Academy
theatre is running into financial losses,
and may discontinue its performances.
Those who have seen this COM
pany, either during the present
engagement or when it was with
us some years ago, appear to
agree that it is richly entitled to
support. Popular prices and an ex-
cellent repertory make the prime basis
OF its appeal. Moreover the testimony
is that Mr.. Giffen offers talent" OF
an unusually high order, and that his
staging is hardly surpassed anywhere.

THE INTELLECTUAL EFFORTS A
CURRENCY REFORM.

Congress has seldom been readily re-
sponsive to legislative needs. Particu-
larlv is this true in regard to remedy
ing defects which the course of events
have shown to exist in the currency
laws. Hence, whatever disappointment
there may be at the failure of the con-
ferees from the Senate and House Of
Representatives TO agree upon cur
rency bill, the outcome should occasion
no surprise. 1t IS only what experience
had led us to expect.
At the session of Congress imme-
diately following the panic OF 1873
sixty bills or petitions embodyng
remedies for the financial evils of that
day were introduced by sanguule and
ambitious members into the Senate
alone. Yet nothing was done unit

covrn,on JoHNsoN,s SPEECH

No one who heard Governor john
eon,s speech last night. or who VIII
read 1t in to-day's paper can doubt
the soundness of his Democracy or.the
wisdom of his suggestions. With his
statistics on the cotton industry we
o,-e not so much concerned. but what
Is of moment is Governor Johnson's
conclusions Of some of the needs OF
the country to-day. Despite our
anonymous stock of gold and circulating
bank notes, the country annually
witnesses the phenomenon that the
demand by the South and West for
money to move their own crops causes
a panic in Wall Street. Governor
johnson is right in attributtns this
condition to the national banking
system. which concentrates the bank
Ing reserves of the country in few
centres, He would have the govern
ment go out of the banking business;
he would develop our inland water
ways, he would relieve the farmer Of
the tariff burden and the whole coun-
try of the burdens of our overgrown
navy and army.
In the matter of government contro!
Of the railroads Governor Johnson took
the unassailable position that the
necessity for firm public control Of
private railways is $50 thoroughly
intrenched in the American mind that
agitation now is less needful than a
practicable working plan for effect
uatine that control" No thinking man
can doubt this, and whether the rail-
roads deserved all the hostile legisla-
ton they received or not, the most
ardent railroad batter is to-day tenn
perins his abuse with the hope that
the railroads will make enough money
TO begin again their construction
work.
In concluding Governor Johnson.
who was most cordially received by
the convention and by the people OF
Richmond, brought out in strong relief
The absolutely essential part Which the
farmer has played in the welfare Of
which giva4us our enormous trade bal
anca for food stuffs and merchandise
These are the people that make Democ'
racv; these are the citizens that want q
SQUARE deal for themselves and fol
their neighbors, and who. in Cover
nor Johnson's words, "are not fillel
with the spirit of the battleship O
the club of might, nor bristlinS tariffs
nor hostile tax penalties upon the pur
suits of peace and the rights of trade
