THE Virginia Legislature has pass
ed a joint resolution instrueting and re-
questing Virginia's Senators and Rep
resentatives in Congress to give earnest
support to the bill introduced in the
United States Senate by Senator Blair
providing for the establishment and
temporary support of common schools
in the several States and Territories.
The passage of the bill in the House,
by the overwhelming vote of Sc to 10,
to appoint Railroad Commission and
to regulate tariffs, divested of injurious
restrictions upon railroads now in ope-
ration and liberal in its provisions to
future enterprises of the sort, will be
gratifying to the people, and, We hope,
to the corporations also. We presume
it will pass the Senate, and thus, for
the time being, perplexing question
will be settled.

Paw Your Taxes.

The County Tax Collectors can now be
found daily at their office, No. 6O21S Market
street, second floor, for the purpose of re-
ceiving county taxes for the year 1898
Every citizen should call promptly and set
tie his obligations with the county without
delay.
The payment Of county taxes for the
current year is a matter of greatimportance.
Receipts for 1880, which qualified voters for
the recent city election, will have expired
before the State election, when receipts for
the present year will be required. In addi-
tion, those who fail to pay their taxes this
year will be returned as errors next spring,
after which they cannot be placed upon the
assessment lists again for one year, and will
therefore be deprived of their votes for that
period. Voters will therefore appreciate the
importance Of prompt payment of this
years taxes.
The payment of taxes is a matter which
every voter should attend To personally and
in due season. The man who pays his own
taxes Is under obligations to no one, and en-
joys perfect political independence at the
election. He then knows to certainty that
his qualifications are perfect, and that nc
election officer or window challenger can
reasonably object to his vote. As the collec-
tors sit in their office every evening from six
to eight O'Clock, workingmen will have
ample time to attend to this important mat
ter without losing any time from their work,
and will not be Obliged to depend upon the
services of friend.
We therefore earnestly urge every citizen,
regardless of politics, to call upon the Col
lectors and pay up Immediately. The bur
den of taxation is light, and the amount
required from each so small that all car
meet it without trouble. Let every man
rich or poor, white or black, call upon tn
Collectors as soon as possible, and becom
duly qualified to vote at the important Stat
election in November.

In FIXING THH TAx-RATH, last night,
City Council completely ingored an item OF
ss7 900 for city bonds falling due in the
months Of March and June, 1888, in order
to keep the rate at the present figures. The
obvious intention is TO ask the next Legisla-
ture for permission to reissue these loans, at
a lower rate of interest, ana thus relieve the
taxpayers Of the burden Of paying of such
a large instalment Of the city debt atone
time. There is nothing wrong in this
plan as the loans were Issued In 1868
and no provision whatever made at that
time for their payment, but it would have
looked much better had the Finance Com
mittee made this statement in their report,
instead of abruptly disposing Of these items
by mere reference, as though the intention
was to allow the redemption of the loans to
90 by default. Such carelessness is likely
to impair the credit of the city, and the
Finance Committee should lose no time In
making such supplemental report In refer
enee to these loans and thus relieve the city
| of the imputation of attempting to ignor'
its lust obligations.

The Changes Of u Year.


The number of children who now congre-
gate in Washington Square remind one Of
the old times, when the neighborhood was
one of the fashionable sections of the city.
What glorious romps and velOcipede races
they have Even the grown people, as they
pass through the square, find themselves
drawn into interest, and stop to see which
bright-hued velocipede and which pair of
knickerboekers will reach the goal first.
And the babies, amusing little toddlers,
tripping along by the side of their white
aproned, white-capped boHnes, and the
others who have not yet reached such
maturity, costly wrapped in daintily en-
broidered afghans, and smiling, in coaches,
oftentimes wheeled by ''mamma" herself.
1t has become the custom TO carry camp
stools they can be fitted conveniently into
the backs of the coaches, and when a
pleasantly-shaded spot is reached, nurse
comfortably seats herself. The other day
noticed no less than 20 such pretty groups,
and there were as many mistresses as maids
enjoying, in this way, the cool shade of the
grand old trees. What a contrast with one
year ago, when lady hesitated to even walk
through Washington Square, much less seat

The First Move.

The first move for the reinstatement of
the old City Ring in full power in this
city is the appointment Of James L. Hawkins
as Chief of Police by Mayor-elect Wales.
Next to Captain Gallagher, Hawkins has
been one of the "Ring's" most daring and
effective workers. Though subordinate
under ex-Postmaster Pyle for years, he
politically opposed that gentleman in every
party movement, and with the aid of strong
allies at Dover and Washington successfully
defied all efforts to secure his dismissal from
the letter-carrier force. Of all the post
Office employees he was alone in his adher-
ence and devotion to the old "Ring," and
no amount of public or private oppression
could force him to swerve in his allegiance
for single instant.
During the recent municipal campaign no
one worked harder for the "Ring" cause
than Hawkins. At the primary election he
carried his ward for DIR. Wales "by large
''majority," and at the general election
worked "like Turk" to secure majorit,
in the Ninth ward for the Republican ticket
Success having crowned his efforts he is nov
called upon to step to the front and receiv,
his reward.
No appointment could prove more bite
or obnoxious to the "anti- Ring" element
Hawkins always fought the " silk stockin
"gents," as he was wont to call them, wit
all the bitterness and force that in him laid
and vigorously resented every effort on thei
part to remove him from his position in tn
post office. His appointment to his ne,
position is fair notice that the Ring" wi
rule hereafter, and the feelings of his part
enemies can be inferred from the fact tina
although aside from his Ring" associ,
tions his selection is likely to prove wiz
and judicious, the best the " anti-Ring
organ can say for him is that he /" is said
/" possess all the qualifications for the pos
g tion."
The "Ring" is now on the move, al
before the year expires will once more
entrenched in nearly all the departments

The PHLADxLPmA "RINe" seems to be
entrenehed as strongly as ever in the Select
Council of that city, Notwithstanding the
rebuff it received at the last municipal
election, and is already squeezing" the
people after the regulation manner. In
wilmington the "Ring' was encouraged by
the people at the last election, and the tax
payers cannot therefore object If the
'.squeezing' process is applied to them
more tightly than ever, as seems to be the
prospect now.
