WHAT WILL RICHMOND Dot

Richmond Ia the leading city IN Virginia. Her
people are proud OF this fact. To her own citizens
Of course credit Is largely due for this position
o. leadership. But credit Ia also largely due to
Virginia. TO the lara sections of the State that
contribute more or less directly and powerfully
to the prosperity Of our great and growing city.
Richmond's place of leadership is also due to the
fact that It is the capital of the State that here
eur lawrnakfng body assemblies, and here our
State officials have their residence Moreover
the history of the city that bore much and
suffered SO much in the dark days OF battle
gives 1t peculiar place In the pride and the
affection Of our Virginia people AT this june
ture In the affairs OF the State, when great
moral issue Is to be decided at the polls, all eyes
are turned to Richmond and one hears every
side the inquiry What will Richmond do?
All sorts of extravagant claims are made con-
which this great city, it is alleged, will give
on September %. We cannot credit these state
ments. We know that the more than one hun
dred and fifty saloons with the allied whole
sale and retail houses the brewers, distillers
mail order firms In the city In its immediate
neighborhood are supposed to control large
vote 1t Is well known that these gentlemen
are In politics every day In the year and very
nearly every hour In the day. Sundays not
cepted. They are strongly entrenched, much too
strongly entrenched in the political and civic life
of this great community We do not under
estimate their influence. nor the influence of
the highly respectable gentlemen who, what
ever may be their motives. are at this time lined
W with them.
Yet Richmond Is city OF churches, of schools
Of strong, desout, intelligent and religious men,
In general have occasion for pride in the
character of her public life and in the sound
and wholesome spirit of progress which char
acterizes her merchants and manufacturers. We
cannot bring ourselves to believe that the great
body of substantial and God-fearing citizens
WILL In this crisis In the affairs OF the State cast
their votes for the continuance Of an institution
that contributes nothing to the prosperity, the
| health or the happiness of the community, but
Gil the contrary is injurious and destructive of
| its best interests

Wholesale MISREPRESENTATION.

Wholesale Misrepresentation.
We thought that In our day we had
seen about every political subterfuge
and every political trick pulled Off to
fool the people that designing men
could hatch up. But here IL our con-
fessfon that after OBSERVING Tam
many Hall, the Philadelphia ring. and
the Pittsburg plunberbund Mt work
at close range, and then watching the
Virginia liquor interests, we are con-
vinced that in comparison Tammany
and the ring and the plunderbund
are the veriest pikers that ever came
down the political pike.
Unhesitatingly we award to our
liquor people the palm for ingenuity
Of statement. unblushing .effrontery,
and audacious misrepresentation.
When men publish interviews with
other men who repudiate them IN
their entirety. and then refuse to pub
llsh the repudiation. parliamentary
and editorial language is not strong
enough to characterize their action.
That's where the audacious misrepre-
sentation comes In.
And so II goes. Every crime
against humanity and civilization has
its defenders-and the liquor busi-
ness the most of all. Between tho

Young Man Has
Foot Cut off by Train

A young man giving his name as Ed
ward Abraham and address as Fair
mont had his foot cut on by train
near Wheeling on Monday night ac-
cording to news which has reached
this city.
1t is said that Abraham was beating
his way from Steubenville to Bellaire,
Ohio, on the fast c. & P. Passenger
train. Abraham either tried to slide
to the ground from his precarious po-
sltion under the platform or slipped to
the rail as the wheels completely sew
erred his right foot at the ankle.
His screams attracted attention and
assistance at once and men who rush
ed out found him clinglng with his
hands to the cross tieis on little
bridge. He was removed to the North
Wheeling Hospital where his wounds
were dressed.
Efforts were made today by West
virginian reporter to ascertain wheth-
er or not the unfortunate man lived in
this city but no one by that name
could be located, neither is the name
in the directory.
