ANOTuER wILDCAT.

A bill has been introduced into the Vir-
ginia legislature requesting the Virginia
congressman TO work for the passage of a
bill authorizing the secretary of the treas
ury to loan each state money enough to pay
its debts, the loans to run for fifty years at
per cent. This is one of the sillieSt of
the many silly plans that have been hit
upon for robbing the Federal treasury. 1t
is almost as ridiculous as the Little Rock
railway scheme. While congress does a
great many foolish things, it is hardly pos
sible that it will give countenance TO
such bare-faced proposition as this, es-
pecially as it comes from state in
which MALONE still lives. A state that
hasn't credit enough to borrow money on
advantageous terms has no use for money,
and might as well shut up shop. Still, as
long as the government continues the policy
of taxing the country unnecessarily for the
purpose of piling up surplus revenue, it
is TO be expected that every conceivable
project for raiding the treasury will be in
augurated. The sensible thing for con-
gress to do, i'm order to avoid the danger of
these raids, is to cut the tariff down to a
strictly revenue basis and do away with the
surplus folly.
