rIrTY-oNn PER CENT.


Richmond has increased its popula-
ton by more than one-half in ten
years The figures announced last
night by the Census Bureau tell
the story of the wondrous growth of
this city in the decade which has just
closed. Since 1900, gain of 42,57S
has been added to the population of
Richmond, and the percentage of
growth was SOL per cent. In
1900 q gain of 1862 was shown over
the population of 1890, the ratio of
increase being only 4,5 per cent These
statistics are indisputable proof that
Richmond is striding surely and
steadily to the forefront of the cities
of the entire South, iustifying the I'M
faltering faith of her people in her
and their most sanguine hopes for her.
Richmond is a magnificent example OF
the rehabilitation and renaissance of
the Southern city which has from
stagnation fought its way UP to Won
derful prosperity.
lUGTt are ObiISl AaSs7 4''S''
the tremendous growth of the city in
tho past ten years. The assessed vaiu-
alton of property has increased 30 per
cent. the street mileage shows a gain
NJ SO per cent. The increase in the
number of telephones of almost 500
per cent. is an interesting sidelight,
Significant IS the fact that the num-
Der of manufacturing plants has IN
creased Al per cent.
one of the safest indications oil the
true progress of Richmond is afforded
py its big school Statistics fer this pc
riod. for there is no true progress II
Increasing wealth and population are
not attended by proportionate eN-
pansion of the educational facilities
of the mu licipality Richmond has
not lost sight OF this There has been
proportionate increase of 90 per
cent. in the number of public schools
and of So per cent in the number OF
pupils enrolled,
the public service corporations have
not Jagged behind, but have kept the
pace. Street railway passenger traffic
for instance, shows a gain of ~. per
cent
Phenomenal, indeed, has been the
increase in the wealth of Rich
mond The post-ofiice receipts have
gone forward 159 per cent; the capital
in manufacturing plants has risen W
per cent, ard the value of nlanufac-
tured products to 1885 per cent; the
jobbing business is making remarkable
strides; banking capital and surplus
have increased 104 per cent; banking
deposits show a gain of 20T per cent,
and bank clearances, one of the In
fallible indications of municipal growth
and prosperity, have shot upward us
per cent
The business opportunities which
!. Richmond has .hela>out have been ir-
resistible and the response has ex-
pressed itself in wealth and popula-
ton The South is striving with the
consciousness of almost illimitable
economic power; the nation is reali-
izing 1T; and Richmond is showing
the effects of this great industrial and
commercial awkeaing. The dauntloss
ambition, the splendid energy, the
broad vision finer people have wrought
her progress and growth. III anothe,
decade, Richmond will have passed the
100000 population mile-post and who
beholding' the facts, can deny that .
still greater future awaits her?

orally known the officeholders and poll
iticians will vote for 1t and carry It,
While II 1t Is generally known tho

A nensonnbIe Request.

To the Editor of The Times Dispatch:
Sir,--A representative eM-Confeder-
ate has been requested by goodlS
number of his comrades TO ask for an
exhibit or statement from the five
trustees-two OF whom reside in Rich
mond-as to the present status of the
fund OF the proposed Battle Abbey or
Confederate Memorial. Where is the
fund? What Is the sum to the credit
OF the trustees? Is 1t drawing INTEREST,"
is 1t the purpose of the trustees to
wait until all the old veterans die be-
will 1t be as sacred. to none SO holy
and as appealing. as to those who
fought under the banner of the Lost
Cause. To them ii will be the apotheo-
sis of their struggle for constitutional
liberty. the Qualification OF their ac-
the justification of their sufferings. To
their descendants 1t will in comparison
be but memory, an idle tale.
The prevailing impression Is that
one OF the trustees. residing In this
city, Is expected to take the initia-
tive. or leading part, In the consum-
nation of this object. Why has he not
Idone so? 30 -4s4
1t is from him we all wish state
ment OF progress. II there be any. and
II there be none the reason why.
The comrades desiring this inquiry
are ready and willing to accept any
plain. honest. candid statement that
may be submitted, 1t Is the general
impression that the delay in erecting
this memorial Is ~inexcusable. IL not
lrcpresensible. The veterans and those
who have contributed to this object
wish to know who is to blame, II
any one. in this matter. and why their
long cherished wishes and hopes have
not materialized. VETERAN.

The French Indemnity OF 1870.
Please tell one OF your readers now o,
France paid Germany the i've milllaras
OF francs indemnity at the close or the
Franco Prusslan War of 1870. was u
all In lump sum or was II settled
in several Instruments? What were
the potent results OF the war?
France paid this enormous price for
peace in several fixed sums. The FIRST
payment was one-flfth of the total, and
the rest OF tho obligation was met In
regular payments covering period
OF three years. The final treaty OF
peace was signed on May 10, 1871.
The two great results OF the war
were the establishment of the third
republic of France and the consolida-
ton or Germany into an empire. 1t
reunited Alsace and Lorraine to Ger
many, the people OF these provinces
hitherto being much divided in the
question OF allegiance.
United Germany found itself COM
nosed of twenty-five sovereign states
under restored empire, King WILL
lam OF Prussia being created Emperor.
In France the effect OF the struggle
was just the reverse OF what 1t was
in Germany. Following the final
crushing defeat OF the French army,
Napoleon III was dethroned by a
Partisan mob and France became a
republic.
