A Rotten Plank.

II there is a man in the State OF Viz
glnla who now believes that this So
called Liberal party Of REIMBURSEMENT
and Coalition will ever make an honest
effort to settle the debt question, let
him study Riddlebergcr's bill, tacelious-
ly styled IA Bill to Re-establish the
Public Credit" Upon this piece Of
legislation all the assembled wisdom OF
the party exhausted itself. How to get
rid ofthe ta1-recelvabe coupons was
the riddle which presented itself for So
luton, and after having cursed these
"cut-worms of the revenue" from one
end Of the State to the other, they at
tempt 10 get out Of their difficulty by
inventing more ''cut-worms OF the reye-
nuer in the shape OF what they call
sloan certificates" These loan Ger
tticates are to be sold to the taxpayers
al halftbeir face value, aud are to be re
ceiyable for taxes at their face value.
Results:
l. To the extent that the people use
the loan certificates our scanty revenues
will be reduced one-haT. II bankruptcy
stares US in the face now, what is TO
become OF us when the revenues are re-
duced to one-half their present amoun'?
2. The object Of this loan certificate
feature is so to depreciate the coupons
as to make them worthless to the Own
ers. The bill will fail Of its object, be-
cause the coupen-hOlder can under sell
the loan certificates and yet realize
more than If he surrenders his bond ana
accents the term, of the R,ddteberger 6tu.
Fer instance, the holder Of $1,000
coupon boad could sell his annually
maturing coupons at for.y-eight ceuts
on the dollar and realize $3.50; where
AZ. if he were to accept the terms OF the
Riddeberger bill, he would only get
bond for $3.50, yielding an annual in
terest of only 1880. Certainly there
is no inducement here for the coupon
bond-holder to surrender his security
This bill isa plank of the party
platform. They admit that they have
no other or better way OF settling ih'
debt question,
This feature Of the bill is certainly
failure as measure of fOrcible readjus
nent, AS reven ue measure 1t Is
llamentable failure. 1t will entangl'
our finances, embar.ass the treasur'
and dishonor the State.

The RIDDLEBBRGER BILL WILL
BREAK UP THE PUBLIC Schools
The Readjuster party has anchored its
hopes on the Riddleberger bill, but that
bill. if 1t should ever become a law,
would necessitate an increase Of the
taxes on real estate and personal prop
erty. The income Of the State is in
round numbers 81, 900 per annum,
and theRlddleberger bill strlkesof at one
sweep 1903, 300 of that amount, leaving
the State an income OF less than $1,000,
900 of which s1,1l5, 900 will be taken in
coupons, leaving only 1885, 900 to pay
the expenses of tho State Government
and run the public schools. But the
Riddleberger bill says it will take $780,
900 to pay the expenses Of the State
government, hence the State, if the
Riddlebergef bill were to become law
would run behindhand 1900 every
year, and the public schools would not
get cent. The Henkel bill passed by
the Conservative Legislature in spite OF
Readjuster objection, has given the
public schools the past year the hand
some sum s637, ,ll7.2O, and has put
them on a nourishing footing, but the
Rddleberger bill virtually repeals the
Henkel bill, aud the schools would be
come extinct under it.-Portsmouth En-

BelsbaZZar and his Brother
Bill.

Bclshazzsr Smith had very bad and
very dangerous habit Of walking in his
sleep. His family feared that during
one of his somnambulisiic saun terings
he would charge out Of the window aud
kill himself, so they persuaded him to
sleep with his little brother William,
and 10 tie one end of a rope around his
body, and the other around little Will
liam.
Tic very fire. night after this arrange
ment was made, Belsha zzar dreamed
that q burglar was pursuing him with a
dagger. So he crept over to Williams
side Of the bed, stepped oyer williams
slunbering form jumped out on the
door, and slid under the bed. lie stay
ed there while, and then, his night
mare having changed, he emerged upon
the other side of the bed, and got under
the GOVERN bis old place.
The rope. it Will be observed, was be
meath the bed andit was pulled out,
100. Early IN the morning, Belshazzar,
about half awake, scrOugeG over against
William. To bis surprise the movement
jcrked William clear out of bed. Bel
shazzar leaped out to ascertain the
cause OF The phenomenon, and at the
same time his brother disappeared an
der the bed. 6elsha zzar hardly awake,
was scared, and he dived beneath the
bedstcad as he did so he heard Will
skirni.hng across the blanket above
his head. Once more he rushed out,
Just in time to see William glide over
the other side. Belshazzar just then
became sufficiently conscious to feel tn e
rope pulling on him. He comprehended
the situation at once, and disengaged
himself.
Perhaps little William was not mad.
He was in the hospital undergoing re-
pairs, for about three weeks, and when
he came out he had strange desire to
sleep alone.
Relshazzar anchors himself to an anvil
now.

Buttermilk fer Burns.

Joe and Commodore Rogers were
brothers and blacksmiths. They had a
great reputation for beng practical
iokere. One day Joe bought an old
fashioned churn for the purpose Of manu-
featuring their own butter: and as the
commodore was widowsr, and lived
with Joe, all such work as churning
naturally fell to him. One day after
supper. the first churniDg was got ready
and the commodore was invited to
churn.
Hold on SAID he. till go down and
get some tobacco
He went, and while he was gone Jse
did the churuing, took out the butter,
and left the buttermi!k in the churn.
The commodore turned, looked at the
churn, took of his coat and remark
ed.
'Wa'al, old churn, IT'S you aud l, aud
here is for ye!
After churning a couple of hours, he
remarked that he guessed it would be
cheaper to buy butter than to make
it,
& think so, said Joe, if you are go
ing to churn 1t out of buttermilk.'
The commOdore's remarks were unit
Tor publication.
A few days after the churnlng pro-
cess, Joe put one end Of a small bar Of
iron into bis forge-dre, gave the bellows
three or four pumps, and stepped into
the back shop. While gene, the COM
modore heated the iroR to a black heat,
then changed ends with It, and stepped
ont the front door to watch the progress
In came Joe, took up the iron, but
dropped it instantly holding up his burn
ed hand, and roaring with pain.
Put on buttermik. Joe. It's good
for a burn = said the commodore, as he
made a mastery retreat, amid shower
of bouquets. composed OF hammers, eCsl
and hOrse-sh0ps.

Daniel, the Friend Of the La-

John W. Daniel scorns to be mem
Der Of any ring. He does not desire TO
boss anybody. nor does he want to be
an auctloneer 10 knock down the votes
Of Virginia freemen 10 the highest bid
der. He is a Democrat. pure and un :
defiled, and he IS friend Of the labor
ing man. We Will mention three acts
Of Major Daniel, which should prove to
every man who has to work with bis
hands 10 make his living, why he is en-.
titled to their respect and their support.
First. He was .he author and pro-
meter of the act on the statuet book OF
ofVirgluis, giving to the laborlng man
a preferred lien upon work, stock and
equipments Of railroads. &C., for work
done, thus securing 10 the working man
his hard earned wages. He recognized
that the laborer was worthy Of his hire
and that the man who earned his bread
by the sweat Of his brow should not be
kept in the back ground, but should be
placed first on the list Of those to be
paid.
Second. He was the author and pro-
moter of the act giving to the wives and
daughters of those who have bean
killed 10 railroad accidents the right to
sue the corporation for damages, so
that, having lost their protector and
support, might at least recover some.
thing to ward off want and hunger.
Third. He vas was the author and
promoter Of the statute making the pro-
perty Of railroads and canals liable to
taxation. thus tightening the burdens OF
the people.
Major Daniel is the thoughtful friend
Of the people. His friendship takes the
shape Of practical legislation for their
benefit, and support. Every laOoring
man should rise up and call him BLESSED.
