THE LAST ci:sTACI.E TO UNION.
The Aldermen last night did their
duty. They adopted the consclida-
tion ordinance as amended i'll confer
ence and gave their approval totRieh-
mond's progress. They removed the
last obstacle In the way and put the
question of consolidation squarely be-
fore the people or Manchester.
a great majority of the citizens
across the river Will heartily favor
the ordinance as ii stands. They will
appreciate what 1t means to their nlu-
nicipal life. They VIII fully realize that
Manchester is driving good bar
gain. They will properly value the
advantages to be gained by adopting
the ordinance.
Only one thing can now prevent
consolidation, and that one thing is
the partisan protest Of enemies of
progress in Manchester. These men
will be Quick to pick flaws in the
ordinance. They will harp upon the
string OF prejudice and will insist that
Manchester by holding out longer,
could secure better terms. Prompted
by NE know not what motives, these
men will thwart the DEVELOPMENT OF
their city and will sacrifice the well
fare of tie new city il given an oppor-
tunity.
We trust that the voice of these
indictments will not be heard. Rich
mond has granted in the present or
dinance all that she cap honorably
grant. She has been as liberal as
any fair-mindcd man could wish. She
has made every Just concession. and
she will rely on the business men
OF Manchester for the rest.

EXPERT ADNiCE.
Among the first bills introduced in
the Legislature at this session were
three assigned to improve and develop
j The lshins Industries OF Virginia. One
OF these bills was a -codiNcatlon Of |
tho nsh and oyster laws of Nirginio
which arc now in a deplerablc state ue

opinion OF the Tidcwater representa-

Legislature speedily awakens to the
Importance of the real question in

Einia at all. These bills do not in
Nolve the question of opening a rail-
road or digging a canal-works that
