The Dispatch Is glad to lind that there
Is a growing inten*' here In the subject
?f street Improvements.
Our people ara aot wining to have
Richmond consid? r< d a "flushed city."
lxast Of all can our tax pay? rs afford to
have Richmond so regarded. And above
al!, owners of n al -1ate (whether that
re il estate be In th.- h art of the town
or In the East or West End), are con?
cerned In all that will increuse salable
values and make our city more highly
geteesaed as a pasee Of residence.
Rut how is It possible for us to make
Rlihmottd more attractive without our
having better and cleaner streets? For
years and years our str?-t-clc;iii|ng has
failed of its object In a large degr e. Wo
have depended too much upon rains to
come and wash our city free from dust
and trash, and have done too little in
the way of providing ourselves with
Street-sweeping machines. Season after
Beason, when rain has failed us, have
auch complaints been uttered. It is no
new thing, and cannot fairly be at?
tributed to any recent action of the City
Council.
For flve years, ?t least, there has been
need for more machines, and while most
liberal- not to say extravagant?appro?
priations have been made for other pur?
poses, this patent necessity has been ig?
nored.
Never will Richmond be able to com?
pare favorably with other cities of our
alze until provision has been made for
?weeping nightly such streets as Main
and Rroad, and until the paper trash
?nuisance Is met boldly and decisively.
And never will the authorities act until
public opinion demands it.
As to street repairing: Our authorities
might as well recognize now as later on
that the bicycle "has come to stay," and
that the wheelmen have rights which
Trill have to be respected. As a rule the
wheelmen are vigorous, active young
men, who will eventually make their in?
fluence felt. Most of them are now, or
soon will be, voters. So, In the making
or repairing of roadways the conve?
nience of wheelmen will have to be con?
sulted to a greater degree than It has
been in the past.
But the wheelmen, numerous and Influ?
ential as they are, are small in numbers
compared with the masses who are Inte?
rested in having good, smooth sidewalks.
And the masses are getting tired of
having their ankles twisted upon such
pavements as that on the west aide of
Ninth atreet between Main and Frank?
lin.
It la little to our credit that our people
keep alienee when they are compelled to
trudge over auch uneven and disreputa?
ble plecea of pavement us that. It has
been In that condition for some years,
snd meanwhile we have been told that
the law as to assessing propcrty-owreru
la not In a practicable shape! Whit
matters It if it Isn't? Are we to wait in?
definitely for the law to be adjusted?
Why cannot the city take the small sum
of money that Is Beaded and make such
repairs as will cause that piece of side
wulk to be aafe and presentable until
the assessment law la so arranged that
we may require the property-owners to
put down a new sidewalk?
Richmond cannot afford to adopt the
"do-nothing" policy with reftreii.ee to
her streets. To do so would be damning
to her prospecta. It would dissuade some
new comer? from making their homes
here, and it would be discouraging In the
highest degree to our enterprising and
public-spirited citlsena.
If w* hope for a more prosperous fu?
ture, we must reject the Idea that g treat
Improvements may be abandoned for a
series of years and then resumed where
they wer? left off. And most of all, we
ahould keep up the sidewalks. Ail of
as use the sidewalks, while o..!y a amall
?anaertleo of our population use the road
CIVE 01 A TLA*.
The Southern Planter dislikes the sug?
gestion of the Dispatch that our Legis?
lature will not only have to retrench
public expenses, but may have to find
new subjects of taxation in order to
m?, t th?- Ineraasad rate of Interest upon
ibttfl debt The Planter thinks If
the I-<-ri*lature will do Its full duty in
the way of cutting down expenses, no
lnciei.se of taxation will be necessary.
If the end in view can be reached, as
th? Planter believes, without seeking
new subjects of taxation, the Dispatch
will be murh rejoiced. Whatever new
taxation Is laid will fall chiefly. If not
wholly, upon our cities and towns, all
of which have now as many burdens as
they can well stand up under. Rut elimi?
nating the appropriations for schools,
college?, pensions, and the care of the
Insane, which. Judging the future by the
past, will not. be touched by th? hand
of the retrenches we And the
expenses of Y'irglnla's Government
arc only about 1740.000 per annum.
Now, will It bo possible to economize
In expenditure ?o as to save 1180.000 per
annum out of the 1740,000? We much
doubt It. However, we should be glad
to know that a plan could be framed
that would accomplish that purpose; but.
so far. wo have seen no such Blaa, if
the Planter has one. it would do the pub?
lic a service by proposing it in detail.
W.- but utter a warning when we say
that unless the most prodigious cuts
shall be made in public expenses, the
Legislature will have no choke but to
aa k to discover new subjects of taxa?
tion Of course, nobody will vote to
mor?ase the tax-rate upon real or per?
sonal property; but If the money we
m ni cannot be gotten by a reduction
of arpanaaa. what choice will the Legis?
lature have but to try to secure addi?
tional revenue from new sources? At
any rate, no harm to the cause of re?
trenchment can be done by the Dis?
patch's suggestion that unless cuts can
bo made to the amount of $180,000 per
annum, new subjects of taxation must
be Bought for. We Should suppose the
dread alternative we present would nerve
:)i. h-arts and Strengthen the hands of
all true friends of retrenchment in State
expenses.
1XDF.RSTAM1 EACH OTHER.
A dispatch from Cape Town, South
Africa, says that Dr. Jameson, the hero
of the Transvaal raid, will stand for a
seat in the Capo aSSOIIlhljT. and that the
Chief plank In his platform will be "Fc !e
ration for South Africa."
That Plank will do very well for Jamo
son to start from, but It by no means
represents the full ambition of the gal?
lant raider, and of the more prominent
figuro who, it is safe to assume, is be?
hind his candidacy.
There can hardly be a question that
Jameson is Cecil Rhodos's candidate, and
that Rhodes'? platform for the near
future. If not for the present, Is not only
f?d?ration for South Africa, but absorp?
tion of all the territory lying between the
Rrltlsh possessions in the southern and
the sphere of Rritish influence In the
northern part of the Dark Continent.
If Jameson shall be return. 1. as doubt
loss he will Le. his ?-lection will be in the
nature of another notice served upon the
Boera, and It will bo interesting to sot
how the latter will take it. Despite the
fact that Jamison was made the "scape?
goat" In the Transvaal raid matter, ho
and Rhodos understand each other tho?
roughly, and recent events have prove?
that there Is no feeling between them
except a fellow-feeling regarding the ex?
tension of Rritish domination in Africa.
THE DHOfOHT.
The aevcrlty of the long-contlnuod
drought In this State may be bet under
atood by one'a taking a look st the
James river above the fall?.
Its rooky bed Is exposed to view, except
here and there where a comparatively
feeble atream winds Ra way between
huge boulders.
It may well be doubted If ever within
the memory of "the oldest Inhabitant."
the Jam?-? was lower than It Is ut this
time. This Indicates that dry weather
has long prevailed over g ?arge portion of
Y'lrglnia, as It has, Indeed, over many
8tatea of the Union.
Genere.lly speaking, the drought ?f
the whole country between the Mlsslsslp
pi and the Atlantic. And it has also been
severe in portions of the Union farther
west.
Many cities, towns, and country home?
steads have had their supplie? of water
sadly reduced, and thousands of farmers
and cattli-ralsers r.ow have to ?irlvc th- li
cattle long distances to water them

THOMAS MOORE'S LETTER.
min
We understand the moi hod of working
prlnonors in Albcmarle county and Char
lottesvllle Is a little different from our
method h<re. If we BN correctly In?
formed, Charlottesville hus BOBM arrange?
ment with th.- oounty by which the coun?
ty prisoners are worked with the town
prteonera for the benefit o? th? town.
What the temas are wa do not know.
This arrangement simplifies matters and
reduces the aspanas
Anoth.r feature in which they are In
advance of us is their arrangement for
working prisoners in bad weather. They
have a large shed outside the town, under
whi.h they haul stone, and In bad wea?
ther the prteonera are employed breaking
rock for trfe streets. They have broki n
an immense amount of rock, and the
streets have no doubt received groat v
fit from this work.?The Staunton News.
If the- legislature would allow prisoners
sentenced to the penitentiary for very
short terms to be added to such gand?
as this, the frightfully congested condi?
tion of the penitentiary cells might be
relieved to a small extent.
We say to a ".-mall extent." because
enough prisoners will have to bo kept in
the prison to meet the engag? meats of
the Stat,- with the shoe contractors, and
this number, together with two t>r thr.
hundred other prisoners, whoso presence
th.ro will always be requisite, will pack
and Jam every cell.

After Poems Were Published.
WORCBSTER, MASS., October 8.?In
view of the comment aroused by the dis?
covery that the name of Thomas Moore
was omitted from the roll of poets ln tne
Congressional Library, on the ground that
he had bitt-iiy attacked America, and
particularly Thomas Jefferson, a letter |
written by .Mooro in 1810, twelve years j
afl.-r his American poCBti v.i-rc published, !
to th?- editor of the Philadelphia Port- j
folio, is of great Internal ha showing the
poet's change of Sttltoda
The original letter is in the possession
of Senator QsOTga F. IP'ar, who ?> I s
given it out for publication. In thla letter
ihe iio.r says:

HI POT TO TIIK KETTLE,
The compliments thiit are being Baaa I
between the leaders of the anti-Lamb
and the Lamb factions of the Republi?
can party respecting office-seeking are
no particular concern of ours. As a
rule, they aro merited. The history of
th Republican party in VatghaaB shows
that its leaders, with the rarest of ex?, p
tions, are place hunters, first, last, und
all the time.
N'evcriheles?, wo agree with the Balti?
more Sun. that criticism of McCaull as
a chronic offlce-seekei comes with very
bad grace from the head of the anti
Lamb faction, seeing that McCaull has
only held one Federal office of impor?
tance, and his critic has held lucrative
Federal positions at intervals for the
last quarter of a century.
The case Is clearly one of a pot that
has seen long service ln the kitchen
cabinet BBBaylng to reflect upon a com?
paratively little-used kettle for having a
sootv hue.
The South Poston Times says that the
Republican party Is a working party,
from one election to another, whether
victory has crowned its efforts or de?
feat has been its portion. Its members
nre unceasingly at work devising plans
and schemes with a view to obtaining
power In the State. They are a well
organized army of political workers and
political wire-pullers, and the work
seems to have a fascination for every
member of the party.
Cirrect. The fascination lies in the
baa? < .' reward In the shape of office.
Whether the party is harmonious or di?
vided into factions, Its members never
Ut up ln their efforts to get there, as
far aa the offices are concerned.
M.ti and women who have corns or
bunions, and all who are otherwise af?
flicted with tender feet, are hereby
warned to keep off the sidewalk on the
west aide of Ninth street between Main
and Franklin. The pavement there Is
full of ruts and boles, and whoso walks
upon It endangers his comfort. The lo?
cality, we presume. Is carefully avoided
by our City councllmen. It Is Incredible
that they would allow it to remain ln the
condition that it is If they had to pick
their way over It dally. Aa It la. the
generul voice pronouncea It a shame and
disgrace to Richmond. And there are
other pieces of pavement like it, on other
great thoroughfares.
Queen Victoria la said to hold moat
pessimistic views tn regard to the sta?
bility and general future of thla republic
of ours. We trust, however, that her
Majesty will not decline to receive as?
surance of the high regard In which aha
Is held, and hau glwaya been hela, by
th? peofile of those United States.
