Tue CHICKEN EP1pENuc.-Th New
York Herald speaks of the disease
which has lately broken out among the
fowl creation as follows:
''tIp the Hudson, and from the high
lands and lowlands OF this river back t.
the >usquehanna, and how much further
we know net, terrible disease has
broken out among the poultry. Chick
ems are dying from it by hundreds, and
ducks, geese, and turkeys in the market
are said to betray evidences of the same
malady. 1t appears to resemble the
ePlzooty. The fowl affected has a run
ming at the nose. But in addition t.
this symptom of catalrh the victim be
comes dizzy, its head swells, and it sool
dies ofcere' ro-spinal meningitis. Frcn
the latest information on the the subject
it appears that this disease is real,
assuming the form of destructive
pest ence continue to spread as rapid,
as it has been developed, we can onl,
hope that at least our beef, porl: and
mutton will be spared for Thanksgiving
Day."

Among the questions which will en-
gage the attention of the present Leg

lance is the state debt. What will
they do with it, is question which
we have no doubt, few are able to an
swer The Legislature Of 1901 had
passed bill which was denounced gen
e,aliy By those VINO compose the pres
ent body. The b was objectionab e,
but was completed contract The
Legislature of 1912, repealed the hi |
passed the previous year, and a number
Of bills were prepared, but none seemed
to be satisfactory Finally one was
passed which in many fe atures resent
led the old bill, but was not free from
very Objectionable features. 1t was
not satisfactory to the members of the
Legislature, and it was very difficult
task for that body to please the people,
when they could not please themselves
What will they do? They tel us we
are not able topay six per cent, we are
not able to pay four per cent, we can
not fund. We cannot repudiate We
cannot compromise. Fifty cents on
the hundred dollars is not sufficient.
and we cannot increase the rate Of tax
alton. We are certainly in quanda-
~. Just iu such fix, as most Of men
who had managed their private affairs
badly, and were permittedto pay when
ever it would be convenient. would be.
We do not profess to possess that
peculiar faculty which is necessary to
those who are termed good fnanciers;
and consequently we have never been
able to SCI but one way to meet the
difficulty. 1t is we are aware "a very
unpopular way, but we believe it better
than any which the present legislature
has proposed. 1t is simple, but un-
pleasant Ascertain the Indebtedness
Of the state, and if the debt is Just
make provision to meet it. The taxes
have been materially reduced, in many
sections, by the last assessment. Let
them be increased IF the agricultural,
portion OF the state cannot bear an In
crease of taxation, let it be increased
upon the interests that can bear it. But
rather than repudiate let the interest
accumulate. liquidation is heavier
burden than debt Virginia is not able
to bear it. Let us endeavorto do right
and we are not responsible for the con-
sequences. If Virginia is not now able
topay what is due, the time will come
when she will be able to discharge her
obligations. For the present let us do
IL we can, bay all We can ,coni
Inize whenever we can. And in the
end Virginia will be right.

HE MIXED School QuEsT1oN.-It
seems to be decided, at least, that the
fourteenth amendment does not provide
iol every possible conflict of opinion be-
tween white and coiored people in
considering the education of the chill
dren OF the two races in the same schools.
two Northern courts have recently held
that the question belongs to the school
board for decision, and not to the amend
ment OF the citizen. Their arguments
are that any classification, which pre-
serves substantially equal school advan
tages is not prohibited by either the
State OF Federal constitution; that they
cannot dictate where and by what teach
er his children shall be taught; and that
equality Of rights" does not imply that
white and colored children shall be edu-
Gated in the same school ANYMORE than
it implies the education Of both sexes
in the same school.-Nem Iyh Tribune.
