ANoTuER CASE or REnArE.

It is deplorabie that railroad
whose management is held in such high
esteem as that of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railway should be under the
shadow of the charge OF conniving at
false bills of lading in order to secure
a rebate for favored shippers. While
1T is gratifying to hear that knowl-
edge OF the alleged obliquity is not at
tfibuted to the principal officers of the
railroad company, yet the simple fact
that it is possible for such rebates to
be allowed and that they are allowed,
is enough to arouse an antagonism to
railroads which is manifold more cost
ly to them than any benefit that they
could possibly obtain from the practice.
Why then, in the name of cor,,rnr,u
sense and common honesty is the 1azSE
4 tice not made as impossible or as
nearly so as railroad ingenuity can
devise?
Until the railroads assume and are
entitled to have the respect belonging
TO position of absolute fairness just
such as the law requires, they cannot
expect to have the respect or the fair
treatment which is essential to their
prosperity.
For the sake of the welfare of the
Chesapeake and Ohio as corporation
and of the good name of Its officials
we hope that the result of this in
vestigation will not prove as serious
as the charge indicates. but the inves-
tigation alone will have very de-
terrent effect upon those who would
either make or receive the justly con-
denned rebate.

Church Roads, Va. February II,
A Message 10 Richmond.

We add our unqualified approval to
the following. taken from the col
umns of The Times-Dispatch:
IT is reported from 1rvington, Va.
that Ice in Chesapeake Bay has cut off
steamboat transportation to the Poto-
mas and Rappahannock for week
prosperous sections of Virginia, and
the people are anxious to trade with
Richmond. They would welcome rail-
road connection with this city. and IL
they had such a road, they would no
longer patronize markets with which
they have communication by slow and
uncertain steamboats, only. 1t Is the
most inviting field in sight for Rich
mond."y
Our belief is that the amendment OF
Senator Saunders or one to that ef-
feet. should have been adopted; pend
ing the r., +. & P. repeal bill, as it
of the State to have compelled this
measure of justice in favor of the
Rappahannock Valley, and in rejecting
that amendment the Legislature over-
fear greatly that such State aid was
the only hope of the good people of
that fertile section. We do not pre-
tend to know. but incline very decid-
sole purpose of the promoters of the
repeal bin was to facilitate the con-
struction of additional trunk lines
without special regard for even as
ts.ppuiy lecueIS dS LIE
Valley could be made. But Richmond
should not longer neglect that sec
ton; it holds one of the finest pros
poets for trade within reach of the
capital city. Those people have no
quarrel with Baltimore. From time i'm
memorial it has been their habit to
trade with Baltimoreans, and these
years of pleasant and profitable inter-
course, have cemented between them
and the Monumental City a bond of
sympathy and affection that Is not
easily severed. But they have no lon
ger Sic Weemes as their carriers; an
other concern, wholly unsympathetic
with Baltimore or the Rappahannock
Nalley-or anywhere else, we might
say, save perhaps Philadelphia-ha
them in its clutches now. and this, with
such natural causes as The Times Dis
patch mentions, will certainly sooner
or later become an effective barrier to
anything like considerable trading
with Baltimore. Then 1t is "up to-
Richmond to bid for the business, for
Norfolk has never availed herself Of
the. magnificent opportunity she has
had to controlait.
Richmond's Chamber OF Commerce
should not let UP for a day until
the trade of the Rappahannock Valley
Is opened up by .good. and effective

DANIEL AND DEMOCRACY.

Senator Daniels interview in the
New York World comes as Demo-
cratic refreshment 1t is I. ringing
call to Democrats to brush modern
fad and fiamdoodle out Of the party
and return to the faith of their fathers
AS for government ownership Of
railroads, he says that he would as
soon substitute a King for Presl-
dent at once. for 1t is the most impe-
realistic idea that has yet appeared in
American politics. AS for the initi-
ative and referendum as applied to the
Federal government he thinks that 1t
! is a very undemocratic and inoppor-
tune suggsstion..and would lead to the
upheava! and inversion of representa-
tive government. 1t Is all right for
purely local questions, such as the
regulation of the liquor traffic. but the
Federal republic Is unsuited to such
experiment. Senator Daniel believes
that the Democratic party must live
by principles and not by fads. my
faith" says he. as that principles
worth living by arc worth dying by"
He holds that If the Democratic party
intends to lead as 1t has done 1t must
place itself at the head Of the column
that moves always along the sober
highways of our fundamental law. II
must counterfeit the spirit that would
congest all things at the centre OF
government and let the Federal ma
chine move unimpeded in its Just lines
of operation.
He holds that local self-rule IS al.
ways the best rule, and the Democrat
who would obliterate that for the sake
of transient tenet through the over
misleads his colleagues and pursues
the path which has at its end the fate
that has SO often overcome, republics
that of national matorlties unrestrain-
cd by fundamental principles imposing
upon sections laws unsuited to them
and compelling obedience, not by self.
restraint and conscience and true con
stitutional construction, but only by
the word of massive and tyrannous
centralized power.
II this is not modern Democratic
doctrine, the mission OF the Demo.
cratic party is ended; the occupation
Of the Democratic party Is gone.
Coming down to practical issues
Senator Daniel refers to the tariff. and
says that the time is now fully ripe for
revision, and that 1t should come i'm
nediately. But the Oracle at the White
House has decreed that the tariff must
not be touched In presidential year
5 and there win be no revision. This il
Democratic opportunity, The Republi.
cans claim credit for the prosperity
that came under their high tariff; they
must now be held responsible for ,hs

THE THEATRES AS FINANCIAL
BAI{ONfETERS.

The other day we directed attention
to figures which Indicated that the
consumption of cigars was a fair index
to the national prosperity OF the mo-
ment. When times are good, great
many more cigars are smoked than
when times are not so good. Now
come reports from New York which
indicate that the theatre also Is good
financial barometer, but in exactly the
reverse way. 1t appears that when
times are good. men are entirely too
busy to go to the play: they stay at
the office at night and work. When
times are bad, there Is no welcome rush
of business to detain them. and they
flock to the theatres to be diverted
from the anxieties which tight money
brings.
Always a good "show-town," New
York seems to have outdone itself Of
late. Since January 1st," writes
correspondent OF the Philadelphia
Press. 1.-THE theatres, almost without
exception, have received at every per-
formance such rush OF patronage
that they have often been obliged to
shut up their box offices with all seats
sold out"
1t is nearly always impossible to get
good seats except long time In ad-
vance. On a holiday night or matinee,
1t would be useless to ask for them.
The spectators, with the little
punches of tickets waving between
their fingers, do a golden business
Light operas and farces, the natural
choice of those who wish to have their
minds distracted from disagreeable
thoughts draw splendidly. but not
more so, 1t seems, than the two great
opera houses. Last week an aggregate
of 100000 was taken in at the theatre
box offices Three of the light operas"
saws this writer were so overwhelm-
ingly attended that the treasurers were
able to report that the weekly re-
ceipts for each had been approximately
$4,000"
This is a curious and interesting
natural phenomenon. The present
manifestation is not the first. 1t was
observed and commented upon in other
bad seasons-in 1873 and 1884 and
1893. Sometimes says the CORE
spondent. Gin that miserable spring
and summer of 1898, those who attend
ed the theatres wondered If 1t We're
true that business depression and
money famine prevailed. For the Net
ropolitan Opera House was crowded at
almost every performance, and men
who had been compelled to practice
stern economies in business and In do
mestic life. and some who had held
up their hands and yielded to fate,
were found in great numbers at the
theatres,
