Mr.. Massey and Virginia Debt Legislation.

Lieutenant-GOvernOr John +.
Massey, the "father Of Readjus
tersm,r has addressed n letter to a
Richmond paper on the subject of
the state debt, and OF the action
which, in his opinion, should be
taken by the people Of Virginia to
put an end to the trouble at pres.
ent being given to the state au.
thOrities by the activity of agents
of bondholders unwilling to fund
their holdings under the Riddleber-
ger bill. Mr.. Massey's propositions
look 10 decided action. In his opin.
ion Virginia ought not to have
agreed to pay more than $4,000
600 of the claim of $4,000, 600
which her creditors figure out
against her. That, he thinks would
have been a liberal-"very liberalp
settlement. But for sake of fl
nalty in q troublesome matter he
accepted the Riddleberger act,
which he regarded in the light of
compromise. 1t was, however, a
compromise which the bondhOlders
have not thus far accepted, aud it
has not pat an end to the debt agi-
tation. With others he has done
his best to convince the states
creditors that the Riddleberger act
presented the states irrevOcable
and final determination. Being
still uncOnvinced, he proposes to
help them to belief by further leg.
islation, for which purpose no ad.
vises that the Legislature be reas.
sembled. "When assembled it
should provide" says Mr.. Massey,
"for the collection Of taxes by the
counties and cities of the state, and
it should propose an amendment to
the constitution, to be submitted
to the next Legislature, providing
that no future Legislature should
ever make provision for the pay
ment of any bonds not funded &C
cording to the provisions of the
Riddleberger bill" These two prop
ositions have the merit at least of
thoroughness. The first would con
vert state revenue into county or
city revenue, thus destroying the
market for coupons, The taxpayer
would have little or no tax to pay
to the state, upon whose revenues
alone the coupon is held to be a
valid charge. He would pay TO tho
local authority, which would de-
cline of course with impunity to ac-
cept coupons. The second propo-
sition would supplement the first
by compelling bondholders to fund
under the Riddleberger act within
twelve months from the date OF the
constitutional amendment, or, az
Mr.. Massey says, "forever bar the
door against themselves"

THE PRESS ON THE STATE DEBT.
THE STATE DEBT.

The actual condition of the in.
debtedness Of this State will be
found in the letter of Governor Leo
to Hon. John w. Daniel on the
first page of this paper, and its care
ful perusal and a study of the
statement accompanying is the
duty Of all citizens, and by such a
course they will be convinced that
the best interests Of the tax. payers
OF Virginia and the holders Of her
bonds demand no intermeddling
with the Act, approved February
1ith, 1882, known as the Riddleber-
ger bill, but its enforcement, both
in letter and spirit. Much has
been said Of late in the press about
a liberal proposition for another
settlement made by the Council Of
Foreign Bondholders of London,
but it now appears upon the au-
thOrity Of Mr.. Jas. p. Cooper, its
representative in Richmond, who
has appointed in many Of our cities
and towns agents for the sale of
coupons, that before the bondhold-
ers will "fOrmulate ANY comprO-
m Sc" the people Of Virginia must
"formally" abandon the Riddleber-
ger settlement This they Will
NEVER do, and the bondholders
had better assume some other "at.
titude of Cancellation and cOmpro-
MISE" if they expect to accomplish
anything. Nearly four years have
elapsed since the Riddeberger Act
went into effect, and if the holders
of the States bonds, wherever liz.
ing, knew the feeling Of the people
throughout the Commonwealth on
the State Debt, they would no long
er refuse to fund under THAT ACT,
which has been accepted by both
political parties in "formap action

If the State debt should be re- |

by Mr.. Royal, the principal amount

new basis will, according to the

Those who sacrificed the three
branches of the government for the
sake of the creditors and saw the
State made the prey of plundering

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

President Cleveland in the main
satisfies public expectation and
hope in his treatment of public af
fairs in his message of fast Monday,
1t meets with the usual party critI-
cism. His political friends com
mend 1t while Republicans deride
portions of it. Senator Beck calls
the President "cranky' on the sill
yer question ; but as "A rule, the
message is heartily approved by
Democrats.
Foreign relations are discussed
by the President with candor and
clearness. He deems no compiled
tiOns with foreign governments
outside the reach of friendly adj
justment. The President acknowl-
edges disappointment at the failure
to secure q prompt and permanent
settlement of the Canadian fisheries
dispute. That dispute has lasted
in one form or another for period
OF seventy years at least, going
back to the periods of Monroe's and
Quincy Adams administrations
To establish the rights OF Ameri-
can fishermen in the debated wa
tiers would be a browning success
for the administration. The Presi.
dent manfully denies the pretended
right of the Mexican government,
as asserted in the Cutting case, to
try an American citizen for an al
legged offence committed on the soil
of the United States.
General appreciation will be CIV
en- to the Presidents urgent recon-
mendation of a reduction of reye-
nue.. His recommendations as to
tariff measures are consistent with
the genoralities of the National
Democratic platform.
Looking at the Presidents mes
sage fairly and from disinterest.
ed standpoint, as a revelation of
the hopes of the administration,
especially when the message is con-
sistently supported by reports from
his Cabinet, it is plain that the
President entertains the hope Of
continued Democratic ascendency
by maintaining his alliance with
the capitalists OF New York. His
Cabinet was selected with that
view, and his own opinions are
nowise in conflict with the theory
that he may be renominated and
reelected by a solid South with
New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey. Indiana, now that Hen
drlcks is dead, appears to be Re

that March will be a pleasant

The November cold.waye, has on
more than one occasion frightened
the country by its severity, only to
prove the forerunner of an uncOm.
monty mild season. There are
reasons, which any meteorOlOgist
can explain, to account for the reg
nlar recurrence of this blast from
the North at the beginning of the
winter, as well as for the January
thaw and the other phenomena
which have become familiar TO
every one who thinks or talks about
the weather. This year, instead Of
receiving the visitation on or be-
fore Thanksgiving day, to remind
US that the cold season was upon
us, we were spared it until the al.
manac indicated that the winter
had actually arrived. This delay
of few days has no significance;
neither has the extremity of the
cold when it did come. 1t would
behoove the well-tO-do to give up

OF an Arctic climate for themselves

ing comfort for those neighbors

into the subject and there is
hardly q county in the State that
has not produced men who have
become noted for their skill, in.
telllgence, and usefulness as clerks
and men whose memories ought
not to die, but ought to be per.
petuated in some durable form.
