Those flndlngs were obvlously open to tlie charge of being too narrow In tholr ecope, too drostlc ln thelr speclal ap pllcatlon and atrikingly one-'sided in their nllotment of consure. There i? blomo cnough here for everybody, ln en consclence; and the Councll has ehown much moro llbernlily than did tho commlttee in tlie ttwardlng ot lt. lnstead ot all the fnult being bundled off upon tlie dootstep of tlio present City Engineer, wo now flnd It gener Ously dlstrlbutod among all tlio co laborers, wlth tlie prlme resbonslbllfty for tbe fallure of tho flume expressly laid upon tho eontraetors.

' Surprlfe mlngles wlth strong dis kppointtnent and dlsapprov.il at ihe j Hc'.ion of the Board of Aldermen in j Elatly rijectlng the ordinanco looklng ; to the consoiidatlon of Richmond and] Manchester. It had been generally j taken as a matter of course that the ! .^ JAIdermen would pass this ordlnance, j Inasmuch as they had already passed ' It once wlthin recent memory, and it j *vas only through the merest technl fcallty that it came before them a see-I t>rd time. Just what has happened to | fcring- about so complete a change of j jffront in the past few weeks is some- I M (wliat beyond the common understand-1 ' Ing. The.. solo argument agalnst consoll Batlon was' concretely expressed * by j {Alderman Whlttet. "We have more, Rnnexed terrltory % nr, we. can properly i care for now," said he, "ond our own ! cltizens are crying for rolief." This; ls an allusion to the far West Knd, I more especlally to Clay Ward, whero Urr.provements havo not been made as j fully a? we should all wish; and the I ?r^ument is that consoiidatlon should j Jiot proceed for ts,"-r.tha,t any further How terrltory wontd-not bc satisfled i With what it gets. Yet why not look mtjro closely Into this dissatisfaction ln tlie present annexed dlstricts? Sorne J500.000 of the city's money has been Bpent in these distrtcts within thc last two years. How much money would have been spent on them, thlnU tho IMdermcn, if they had remalned a part cf Jlenrico county? Real ostate men tell us that property values ln the new terrltory have increasod on un aver sigo of 2fi per cent. since annexatlon. Jt is needless_ to say that thero would liavc been no such lncrease wlthout tbe name and aid of Richmond. Not j to have, ai once, full clty convenlonccs ls, of course, annoying, but how many proparty-owners in this distrlct have really repented of their bargaln? As ifor those damage mills to be brought en the ground of Inadequate sbwer fa cilltfes, wo hardly thlnk that tho os teemed Aldermen need havo taken lheni t"<) t i rlously.

But it is known thnt the Ways and lleans Commlttee has cocko,i nn eye toward a coffee and tea duty, and there have been varlous whlspora ot a resumptlon of tho Hpaiiiah War dutle;'. Taklng toll from tho worklngman's breakfast table and levylng war duties ln times of plping peuce may be in themselves unspeakablo out rages. But mlght they not prove highly salutary ln their effects? What else would so swiftly and irrcsistibly foCSteri popular. attentlon upon tho reckless extravngance of our modern Republlcan admlnlstrations? What else would so surely start a cry for a deficitless Trensury, based, not on now ways of puttlng the sore'wa on the tax-pnyer, but on rlgid econorriy at the capital? Could the wit of man deyise a better platform on which the Deniojrats could go before the coun? try? COUXTRY I.II'i:, The President's incssago transmlt tlng tlie report of the Country Llfo Commlsslon mentlons these as the "threo great general and immediato needs of country life": (1) Btfoqtlve eo-operation among farmers. to put them on a level with the organized Interests with which they do business. (2) A new klnd of schools in the country, which shall teach the children as much outdoors as Indoors, and per haps more, sb that they will prepnre for country life. and not, as at present, malnly for life in town. (3) Better means of communication, Includlng good roads and a parcels i"'st. whlch the country peopm ara everywhere, and rightly, "unanlmous in deniandi ng. That the commission would recom mend road and educational improve inenta was a foregone conclu?Ion. Tho novel and interesting feature of this summaix,of Us report Is its advocacy of "effective co-operatlon." It will be reniembered that this paper, In re? cent issues, has warmly urgca co operative methods upon Virginia farm? ers, inviting thcpn to band together f"r buylng and^.selling and for con certed progress in all llnes. Of thls plan the President says: The co-operatlve plan ls tho best plan of organization wherever men have tho rlght splrlt to carry lt out. Under thls plan any business under taklng is managed by a commlttee; every man has one vote, and only one vote: and every one gets profitg ac cording to what he sells or buys or supplles. . It devclops indlvldual re spbnslblllty, and has a moral as well as a financial value over any other plan. We may simply add the hope at thla tlme that the publlclty glven to the co-operative idea by tho commis sion'a. report and the Presidcnt's com ments will prove somowhat impresslve to the country dwcllers of thls S'tate and perhaps lead to some actlon. Tlie good roads problem wc are. even now trying to solve wlth an organlzed earnestness and zcal whlch the subject has nevor bofore ellclted ln Virginia. Parcels posts aro outside a State' provlnce. But "the new klnd o school"' ls not, and there is no doubt that the point embodled in this recom mendatlon is wortli close considora tion, mVirticular, it cannot be ques tloned that the teaching of sclentlflc agriculturo lu our publlc schools, par ticultirly In tho ruraL dlstricts, would | have lmmedtately btneflclal results. However much farmers ot the old school are inellhed to look down upon 1 thc "book farnier," comparisons of ? crops are apt to mako his supercillous neeaidecidedly out of jilace. lt may be argued thnt tho bettor | ment of country' life is 110 part of the j work of thc Federal governmont, and ln a sense this. is true. The admlnls tratlon cannot dlreetly step in nnd bulld up tho farmers' roads, remodel hls schools, iruprovo the nanlta(Ion of his home, and corral hlm into co operativo organization. Parcels iioats the government could glvo hlm, and it has cousistontiy falled to do fo. it ihay also be urged that the grontosl but'den upon the farnier to-day is the exorbitant prloosrTio must pay for hla uecessari.es of Uvlng, and that thls burden ls saddlod upon him by tho Bfossest tnequltles in the Federal tarlff ? laws. Vet when these tlilngs are sald, j tho fact remalns that a commission of i lliiK sort may do really valuablo work j in the collection of matorlal and tlie j dlsftemlnntlon of Inforinatlon. So far : tho tommlsslon liae held thlrty publk ; liearlnt's, at \yhloh farmers and farm wlves from forty .States were ri .-? -nt to oxpross tholr vlews.

Wlth tho system of mlnor orgnnlzn tloiis wlth Avhlch it proposes to griddle tho State, tho work lt can do iu edu? cation nnd promotlon should bo of thu utmost value. A lot of education is golng to be necessnry. Opposition to spendlng money for road itnprdvo ments on n largo scalo ls very gen? uine and deop-rootcd. It thls conven? tlon has a weakneso, lt would soem to bo, paradoxlcally, that tho men who make It up aro all progressives. They bellcvo in good roads to the extent of being eagcr to sacrlfice and to spend for thom. And so those opposition ar? guments, whlch, however prejtuliced nnd unroasonable they may seem, are certaln to make themselves folt in every county, are not being thrcshed out and fltted here and now wlth thelr proper answors. A thoughtful artlcle in tho Norfolk Virglnlan-Pllot of yesterday wlsoly ln yltes the attentlon of the convontion to these arguments of lot-well-onoiigh alone. Whero a proposcd bond Issue fails flat, as it did ln thls county re? cently, our Norfolk nelghbor polnts out that "some \other ren.son must be sottght than popular ignorauco of the Inoonvenlence and costllness of oxlst lng conditions: nor ls It safo to dls mlss the subject by Imputlng a nnrrow splrlt of parslmony to all tho oppo nents of llberal appropriatlons." As a case in point, a meetlng of cltlzens in a oertain county last week dlnclosed a widespread feclir.g of indlgnatlon over "tho nbsolute unproductlveness" of thousands upon thousands of dollars spent ln tho hope of better roads in tho last decade. Is not thls the feellng that surely scotehes the wheels of pro gress? And the VIrglnlan-Pilot adds: Not that tho people underrato the economy of good roads or are unwlll ing to pay for them, but after seelng their funds poured year by year Into a seemingly bottomlcss hole, they are Increduloiis of any better outcome from a larger expondlture. And indeed thelr doubt Ib Justifled, if it be assumed that future appropriatlons are to bo expended as lias heretofore been too often the custom of the local authorlties having the matter in charge. This Is the sancst and most sensible sort of talk. It would bo Idle to bllnd our eyes to the fact that all good roads plans lnvolvlng largo expendl? tures will meot wlth very solld opposi? tion, whlch only solld argument can re move. Delegates who go homo en thuslastic from the inspirlng addresses at this gathering are certaln to be sub Jected to cold douches from observant farmers who have seen good money spread upon their highways wlthout vislble results. This feellng may be unprogresslvc and unenlightened, but it is there, and has got to bo intelll gently grappled wlth. Doubtless tho delegates are already famlllar wlth tlie nrgumonts used to defeat good roads movements. But slnce their per manont organization alms to ba largely educational in character, would lt not bo well for them to selze this moment of unlted thought to dissect and dls cuss these arguments and determlne exactly how they are to be ovcrcome?

Qulto tho contrary, I thlnk. Tho reason Governor Tyler's views met with no opposition at our farmers' conventlon referred to was owing to the fact that lio spoko at the laat mlnute, and no one had any chance to icply, as our prosiUent was calling tlme, as tlio hour for adjournment was oloso at hand, and thero were other matters to be considered. , Whon the questlon comes up agnln ho wll! Hnd opposition ln plenty; for, whllo a bond li-suo Ia opposed by some of our best cltlzens, I feel assurod that before tlio year ends a good majority will bo ln favor of lt. In Governor Tylor'n remarks at our conventlon ho cited as an examplo of modern good (?) roads a llttlo four mllo stretch ot macadam botweeti Christlansburg and Blacksburg. bullt some flve years ago, and ridlculed lt. Ho is, unfortunatoly, Justlflod ln this; for it ls a very poor speclmen.. I hap pen to havo seen this work frequently durlng most of tho tlmo lt was under constructlon, and romarked to a num? ber of people that tho method of con? structlon would prove a curso and glvo tlie cause of good roads a "black oye"; and so it has locally. But be eauso ono or two bad oxampleo of road building oxlsts is no reason for decrylng tlie whole movement and cro ating tlie impresslon that our money will bo thrown away. ~ I do not doubt that-Governor Tyler meant tu be falr, but I felt lt my duty, as a supportcr of prood roads, to ob? ject to tlio improssion ho creates on the above polnts. 1 hope tlio Governor will attend tha Greater Highways Conventlon on tho lOtb and 11th and get his views on tlio good/roads questlon reviscd, for lu* 1? too gpod a. man to-bo pormanontly op posed\to thls movement, I will clo-io by saying: God savo tho Comnion wealth if wo don't get better roads!
