LET FREDERICKSBURG HELP
THE EARTHQUAKE SUFFERERS

We have no doubt that a number
Of private contributions For the
earthquake sufferers in Italy have
been forwarded from this city. but
so far there has been no concerted ef-
fort to raise funds. This newspaper
will be glad to receive and forward
such amounts as any persons may
desire TO contribute for this cause,
but our object in calling attention
30 the matter edIsorially is for the
purpose OF urging that next Sunday
morning there be collection taken
up in every church in this city fer the
benefit of these worse than unfortu-
nate people across the seas. We
hope and trust this suggestion will
meet the hearty approval OF the pas
tors OF our several churches. that
they will announce the collections
through the newspapers and from
the pulpit and that their call will
meet with a splendid response from
the members OF the congregations.
Is Is not only proper, but it is in
cumbent on this city as IS is on every
other community TO contribute is
mite to aid somewhat in assuaging
the terrible sorrow, suffering and
want which has ensued from the
worlds most awful disaster. To
help is our duty, and It should be a
duty willingly aud cheerfully per
formed. The Lord in His omnipo-
tent wisdom has surely smitten the
people OF Italy, bus he has placed In
the hands OF His servants elsewhere
the power and ability to tighten
somewhat their load of sorrow. We
know that this appeal will not be
in vain. We hope that the response
TO IL. following as It does the appeal
OF the Governor of Virginia, will be
liberal in the extreme.

The Times-Dispatch publishes a
communication OF considerable
length from it's Washington core.
spondent, purporting TO he an in.
terview with prominent Virginia
Republican, In which the latter SAYS
the Republicans, under she leader
ship OF Representative Slemp, arego-
ing 30 make a desperate effort TO
carry Virginia next fall, and that
their prospect OF success is en-
couraging. This prominent Repub-
iican, whoever he may be, gave
various and sundry reasons for his
belief that his views were correct.
chiet among which were the prohihi-
tlon movement, the poll tax prepay
ment requirement., school book uni
formity. In regard to the first prop
osition We fail 80 see how Republicans
are to gain any strength by the agi-
tation OF the liquor question. chiefly
because the attitude OF the Demo-
cratic party in reference to this mat-
ter, namely, that every community
shall determine for itself whether
liquor shall be sold or not, is a strong
and impregnable position. To form
an issue the Republican party in yir-
ginia must declare esther for State
wide prohibition or for the sale of
liquor everywhere. All the other
issues mentioned in the interview have
been agitated before by Virginia Re
publicsns without the gain apparent
ly oil a vote, and we predict that the
Republicans will assume any atti-
tude the Democrats do not assume
and In doing SO will become a party
of opposition and obstruction yerv
similar to that occupied by the ma
tional Democratic party.

Horsepower and Foot Pounds. From Cassier's Magazns.

When the steam engine was placed upon commercial basis by Watt and his successors 1t seemed entirely natural that it's power should be expressed in terms of the effort of the horse, and in spite of all later suggestions for new units the horsepower remains as the measure of the greatest aid to human effort which has yet been produced.
 The engines of to-day have their power expressed in terms of thousands of horses. and this power is distributsd and ap- piled very largely by means of slsctrici- ty, this method permitting both con- venient distribution and unequallsd fa- cility in control and manipulation.
 The horsepower is expressed in terms of foot pounds, or in other words by means of the Idea of lifting . weight. and it is to the lifting of weights that electrically transmitted power has been most effectively applied
