DEATH OF HON. JOHN W. FoRNEy

DEATH OF HON. JOHN w. RORNEY.
Hon. JOHN w. FoRNEY died at his
home in Philadelphia yesterday, after
somewhat protracted Illness caused by
Bright's Disease Of the kidneys.
He was one Of the veteran journalists
Of America, and among the most distin-
guished men in his profession of the
generation to which he belonged.
He began to edit paper about the
year 1898 at Lancaster, Pa, and from
thence removed to his subsequent home
in Philadelphia, where he has since
almost continuously pursued his profess
sion, having edited there and at Wash
ington, several papers which attained 8
national distinction, and was at the
time of his death the editor and proprie-
tor ofthe journal called Progress, which
is his most recent venture in that line.
He has served in several prominent
official positions, among which were
the offices of clerk of the House and
secretary of the Senate. He has long
been recognized as power in tie poll
tics of his State, and had large ac-
quaintanee with public men and affairs.
He possessed one of the most active
minds Of the age, and faeile pen which
he welded to effective purpose in shap-
ing political events. His death depletes
the ranks of journalism of a most con-
spicuous figure-one who had attained q
wider reputation and a larger measure of
success than falls to the lot of the ma
iority of men in his profession.

GOVERNOR HOLIDAY TO THE VIE.
GINA LEGISLATURE.

In the manly message Wnlcn GOVERN
or HOLIDAY has sent to the new Vir-
GINA Legislature, he presents some
facts and figures in regard to the history
of the State debt and the present condi-
ton Of the States finances which even
a Readjuster might possibly ponder with
profit.
He shows that after paying all eX-
penses, interest on the taX-paying cOu-
pom debt, on bonds held by colleges, ex-
penses and arrearages due the public
schools, a balance of S276, 964.43 is left
in the treasury, besides $4,000, the net
revenue of the penitentiary, making in
all over $500, 900, (which, added to the
current revenues, will nearly if not quite
pay the interest on the entire principal
of the debt of the State-cOnsol, peeler
and unfunded-at the rate of interest it
now bears, in the hands of the holders,
whatever may be its fOrm-full interest
to the colleges, all the expenses of gov
eminent and the amount annually due
the puDllc Tree SCHOOLS.
He further shows that no increase in
the rate of taxation will be necessary to
meet the annual interest debt, and that
the and 6 per cent. interest bonds can
readily be refunded into bonds bearing a
lower rate, and concludes this branch
of his message thus:
''Thus there is no justification or ex-
cuse for Virginia to repudiate or 'elimi-
nate by force all or any portion of her
debt, in the futile effort by such means
to re-establish her credit under modes
presented in the bill of the last session.
BY a statement of the Second Auditor,
furnished at my request, and now before
me, Virginia paid as interest upon her
debt from the lst July 1857, to 1st Octo-
Der, 1881, the large sum of Sl4, 2T2, 657. 40
and she is now paying annually more
than 81, OOO, 900, with a surplus Of at least
$500, 600, as shown by the Auditors re-
port"
The Governor concludes his message
with the following pungent criticism
upon the intermedling Of the national
administration with the States domes-
tic concerns:
.'All these are subjects with which
party has nothing to do. l have en-
deavored in my discussions Of them to
rise above its spirit and address you as
representatives, and through you all the
people of Virginia. 1t has been alleged
! that the Federal Government has not
been moved by this principle Units deal
iugs with US. II has been charged-the
| facts will pass into history and will
show-that this great Government has
| invaded the limits Of our State, and by
power, patronage and money has con-
trolled its affairs. Virginia has been
accused of attempting the mean crime
of Reputation. 1t has been charged
the facts here, too, have gone into his
tory and will show-that the Federal
Government, or the party directing its
destinies, has used its patronage, power
and money to hurry her along that rug
ged and disreputable way. II this be
true, then, if there be any stigma, it has
been taken from our commonwealth
and fastened upon the republic, and will
be with difficulty, if ever, erased. The
| transfer will not hide it.

THE National Board of Health has
just completed an interesting series of
experimental tests applied to the drink
ing waters of al places in this country,
conducted at Washington, John Hop
kins University and at third laborato-
~. Each sample of city water has been
divided into three numbered portions
and q portion sent to each laboratory
engaged in the work, with no clue as to
its identity beyond registered number.
Each sample has been subjected to,the
usual test of chemical analysis, and in
addition the interesting experiment OF
inoculating rabbit with it has been con-
Quoted for the purpose of ascertaining
whether the water contained germs like
ly to produce febrile symptoms. In
many cases the water developed fever,
demonstrating its unhealthy character.
The experiments, both in their extent
and character, are new departure in
the application here or abroad of scien-
tific tests to city water supplies, and
promise to prove of the highest value.
We regret that the tests made did not
include sample of Ohio River water.

RUuDING ACTIVITY.

There is nothing which 50 thoroughly
attests the material prosperity of our
city and the country at this time than
the unparalleled activity in building
now witnessed here and in all the prin-
cipal cities.
Our mechanics have never been more
in demand and harder pressed with con-
tracts than during the summer and fall
seasons. In every part of the city the
nOise of the hammer is heard, and
new edifices have been springing up
with such frequency Us to make very
sensible changes in many localities Ofthe
city.
The same activity is reported from
other cities. The New York Herald
publishes figures showing that during
the past eleven months there have been
issued permits for the erection in that
city and Brooklyn of over four thou
sand houses, some of which are of the
most costly description. The estimated
cost of these buildings, together with
alteration of other buildings, is S55, 49,
Ssh. On the New Jersey side of the
Hudson building has been continued
briskly in HobOken, but not in Jersey

Of representation having become in
creased since 1T90 to $1,000, by which
Tennessee was much morethan entitled
TO two representatives. Louis
lana came with population
of rs, 600, the basis eff representation be-
ing s3OOO. Indiana followed with
63IGO. Mississippi, with 5000, Alabama
with la. 600. Maine with $4,000, Mis-
souri, with q, 600, and until this timethe
ratio of the representation was only
$1,000. After the census Of 1880 the
basis of representation was fixed ut A.
700. In 1887 Michigan Was admitted
with population Of 100000. When,
after another census, the ratio OF repre-
sentation had been increased to S0,6S0,
Texas and Wisconsin were admitted as
States-one with population OF $50,
900 and the other with population OF
10000.
Iowa was admitted in 1916 upon this
basis of representation, and the census
of 1850 indicated population Of 49,
600. This was the current character OF
the custom until we came to the Dor
ough days of Nevada and Nebraska.
Nevada was admitted in 1864 with
population of 10000, the basis of repre-
sentation then being l26, S23. Nevada,
by her population then, was entitled TO
one-third Of a Representative in the
House; and, at the same time, Neyada's
population was mining, transient and
not stable population. Nebraska was
admitted in 1860 as another political
Republican necessity. Its population
according to the previous census was
2S,S41, or about enough to entitle Ne
braska to one-fourth of Representa-
tive in the House.
Upon any ratio of representation ike
ly to be adopted for the current decade,
Dakota would fall far short of an equit-
able title to one Representative in the
House, if the title were to be based upon
population; but when the character OF
the population of Dakota is taken into
account even this fraction Of an alleged
title would in political equity disappear.
Therefore, the Democrats in both
branches of Congress have wisely re-
solved to resistant defeat the admission
of this struggling borough to the rights
of State. There is no precedent for
the present admission of Dakota save
such abominable precedents as are found
in Nevada and Nebraska, and these will
be honored in the breach.

Our egotistic neighbOr, the heavy
man of the LnteEligencer, has been seized
with another fit. He is subject to fits.
Every time the REGISTER takes step
in advance be froths at the mouth. The
symptoms should not be mistaken for
hydrophobia, for they really indicate
much more harmless disease; only
combination of jealousy and wounded
vanity. AS is usual under these attacks
he slings such epithets as ''lisr,"
''cheeky falsehOods," &c, around
in the usual style of blackguards
Ofhis class. The assumed cause of this
attack is because the REGISTER politely
indicated in what manner the LateHi-
Sencer's pretended Washington specials
could be improved in freshness. Our
suggestion arose out Of the fact that
about the same news, and many times
whole sentences In the extract words,
reaches Wheeling in the Pittsburgh
Evening Telegraph on the night pre-
viOus TO their appearance in the hoteRi-
ge,aeer, as specials. This paper produces
certificate to the fact that they come
over the wire. We are glad of this, for
it relieves our young friend, Mr.. DAY,
of the appearance of appropriating
them.

cal neighbor most Il the fact that
