WOMANISH MEN.

We have heard deal about the
evolution, or devolution of mannish
women. Now comes the entry of the
womanish man. One of these crea-
lures in Boston has been denominated
1.-THE most beautiful man" by an audi
ence of experts before whom he
danced barelegged. The men protest
ed and even fumed, but he is the most
beautiful man. They would not even
allow him the comfort of being the
most handsome man. He was beau
tifuI. they said, and beautiful he must
stay--also womanish.
Another of these forlorn creatures
was hailed into court in Baltimore the
other day by his nineteen-year-old
wife who had just '"landed" Ave neat
blows on his countenance.- She asked
for a divorce on the ground that she
could not live with "a nagging hus-
hand" She said life in "the most tor
rid place" would be preferable to
longer existence with womanish,
"nagging' man..

PREPARING FOR A
NEW. GOVERNMENT.

The trumpeting and publicity Of a
campaign is now over and the city
must settle to the long pull, the strong
pull, and the pull all together. that
alone can give Richmond a new and
adequate form of municipal govern
ment This is the testing time. when
men will be asked not only for their
money, but for Their labor in shaping
a new scheme of administration that
will make as easy as possible the selec-
ton of good men in office.
The selection of a committee to
work on this new form of government
is most important task. as the per-
sonnet of that committee will de-
very largely the sentiment that
lies back of the whole work.
We bespeak for the committee the
support of the city and for the city
the patriotic service of the committee.
Both we believe, will be given. Thus
will all parties be concerned in the
new form and in seeing that 1t works.

In conclusion we would enter COM
plant against the journal for falling
to read The Virginian, most serious
failing. The journal says:
apparently The Richmond
Virginian Is intent on discussing
every phase of the prohibition
question except the direct Issue
of the kind of prohibition we are
To have in Virginia"
Our position on this matter has
been so fully thrashed over that we
are surprised mat one even so difficult

kind of wayfaring man might with
reason be expected to know where The
Virginian has stood and will stand, but
If further enlightenment is still desired
we will repeat the assurance The Vir-
ginian not many months ago gave to
the Newport News Press. that we
stand for FALL the prohibition possible,
for all the people possible. In all the
territory possible Perhaps the
Journal can devise clearer statement.
We cannot.
