A Workman Asks q Question or Two

EDS. lNTELLIGENCER Allow me a small
space in the lNrELLIGENcER, which has
championed all causes beneficial to the
workingman. The following thoughts were
suggested by reading your valuable editorial
on " Early Closing. II our merchants can
do without three hours work from their em.
ployes, why cannot our mill owners be
satisfied with one less Thsy 90 to work at
in the morning aud stop al u, thereby max.
ing III hours each day, all of them from the
chief clerk to the boboin boy. Another
thing, there are employed III these same mills
girls and boys under 10 years of age
that critical point in their life when an hours
recreation is so beneficial to them. Prsy do
not think that we are finding fault with the
proprietors for hiring them SO young. Where
there are large families it is essential that
some must work especially Is it so where
the father Is a labOrer whose wages are small
How weary must these boys and girls get in
ten hours, to saying nothing of eleven ! So
while the reform movement is going on,
would 1t not be grand thing for the future
miil-owner to look forward with pleasure,
that his forefather had adopted and carried
out the plan OF making 10 hours constitute a
working day True, of late years there has
been an admirable school started by one of
the superintendeuts, and there are many who
speak OF him as a philanthrophisL Let him
inaugurate this other movement and hun
dreds will 4" rise up aud call him blessed"
Ii 1t is impossible, we have nothing more to
say if it can be done, the sooner the better.

as satisfactorily. as 1t might have been be,

the necessity of showing clearly what
part of the property belongs to him; ana
40 far as he is unable to do this, it Is
treated as the property of his principal
Courts of equity do not in these cases
proceed upon the notion that strict JUS
tice is due between the parties, but upon
the ground that it is the only justice that
can be done. and that it would be inequi-
table to suffer the fraud or negligence OF
the agent to prejudice the rights OF his
principal"
So. if the counties mix their levies with
the States levies so that the taxpayer
cannot determine which is which, he will
have the right to pay all with coupons.
Any act of this sort which the Legis-
lature might adopt, would come imme-
diately under the supervision of Judge
Bond, who would practically be the
Court of last resort, as no appeal can be
taken from his judgments unless $4,000
are involved. This being so it is inter
esting to know what his views are, so far
as they have been expressed. In the
recent trial of Willis VS. Miller and the
Indemnity Board he used the following
language in declaring the segregation Of
the school tax unconstitutional. Said he /:
So far as it may be maintained that the
act of 1884 forbids the receipt Of taX-re-
ceivable coupons for any State tax, to that
extent il is in violation of the Constitution
of the United States, as has been decided
again and again by the Supreme Court,

DEFECT"

THE VALUE OF REPUTATION.

There are thousands Of people IN VIZ
c;nia who are not aware of the fact tha'
the mercantile prosperity OF the o'a'e
and all her people, the value of her lands
and the development of her resources de-
pend on her good name.
They have been excited by theory Oh
debt settlement upon machine'made
schedule of figures; and, thereby being
persuaded upon a mere noisy sensation are
led to think that it would be well to put
the State in an attitude of opposition TO
the United States Supreme Court.
What can come of this policy IN the
end? Nothing but final surrender u
the inevitable and, in the meantime, d
struggle waged upon mistaken idea anu
a consequent depreciation of the charac-
ter of the State of Virginia.
We are told every day Of millions OF
capital flowing into the New South
But the New South" is the, name which
the mercantile world gives to people
regenerated by the dreadful ordeai Oh
suffering, until they have acquired mod
ern WAYS of thought and put themselves
abreast with the times. While this march
is being made towards a greater prosper
itv than the South ever dreamed OF be-
fore, the faircst portion of it is ridden by
a nightmare begotten of the bad digestion
of morbid minds and speculative dema-
gogues, who would be better employed
on a worthy patriotism that would
set the example of dealing with
public affairs on practical business
principles. We shall continue to point
out the fallacy of the idea that the Rid
dleberger act can settle the debt, but be-
sides the testimony of the figures and
facts is the great consideration that the
State should hasten to rescue herself from
the bad name Of reputation and the CON
seouent disastrous results to her progress
and prosperity

THE coUNrY-CoLLECrIoN BUGABOo

For several years past there have been
visionary persons throwing out dark
hints of how the State was going to knock
the bondholder out when she provided for
collecting all her revenues by the coun-
ties as county dues which are not paya-
bic in coupons. The proposition is so RI
diculous that no one has ever thought it
worth examining to show its absurdity.
But on yesterday the Lieutenant-Gover-
nor of the State seriously brought it for
ward as the panacea for the States ills,
and that fact justilies us in giving it
passing notice
Leaving out of view that such an at
tempted leadjustment of the relations Of
the State to the counties is wholly at war
with the entire theory of the States Con-
stitution, and, therefore, thatit is beyond
the power of the Legislature to pass an
act aimed at accomplishing any such pur-
pose, let us look at the proposition
itself
The proposal is that all money collect
ed by taxation shall be called county
dues, and after the county has collected
it, it shall apportion out part of it that
would be equal to tax of forty cents on
the hundred dollars of property in that
county, and pay it over to the State.
Now, calling tax that is to be collect
ed tax due to the county does not make
it tax due to the county, if, in fact, it be
tax due to the State And if, in fact,
the tax is due to the State and not to the
county, it is just as much payable in cou-
pons as if it were called tax due the
State instead of tax due the county.
And if the county, after collecting the
gross amount of tax, is under an OBJ
legation to pay over a certain portion OF
it to the State, then, when the county
collected the tax, it was collecting money
that had to 90 ultimately to the State,
and was therefore a State due Part
OF the tax collected was a duty that was
solvable in coupons, and, if the county
has so mixed her own levies with those
that are to go to the State, that the tax
payer cannot ascertain and mark out the
part that is payable in coupons, this does
not cut him out of his right to pay in
coupons, it is only the worse fol the
county The county will have so con-
fused matters that instead of the State
tax only being payable in coupons, the
'chole Ieoy, state and county, oiHhaoe become
payable IN coupons.
There is nothing new in this. 1t has
been the law of all civilized nations in all
time. 1t was known to the Roman civil
law as the doctrine applicable to a confusic
5onorun. The law on this subject is thus
stated by Judge Story in his work on
Equity Jurisprudence, volume l, section
1861 Upon similar grounds, as an agent
is bound to keep the property of his prin-
cipal distinct from his own. If he mixes
it up with his own the whole will be
taken both at law and in equity to be the
property of the principal until the agent
puts the subject-matter under such cir
cumstances that it may be distinguished

4 Prince for Bulgaria.


The startling report is published that
America may be called on to furnish a
candidate for the Bulgarian throne, and
we hasten to nominate man who would
be likely to accept the trust on any con

then adopt the policy of the Car or of

not such a thing as a caucus in Bulgaria,
he would be able to introduce that beauti-
full institution of our great western land
and show Turk and Russian, Cossack
Bulgarian and BashibaZOuk how to run
a representative body by one-man power

Angora goat that can swing by its horns
to a ragged Circassian crag, and light
with its hOofs on the next mountain peak,
we do believe that the gulielmus capric0r-

match

X. OF l.. Call for Funds.

The important circular just issued by
the general officers Of the Knights Of
Labor declares the present to be the most
critical period in the history of the or
gaDization, and the necessity for CO.
operation on the part of all earnest and
loyal members never before so great.
The desired cooperation is of a financial
character and it must be had for the
benefit Of those who, at the beginning of
an inclement season, find themselves
locked out of employment. An assess
ment of twenty-five cents is therefore
made upon each member of the order,
which, it is thought, will provide sub
sistence-fund sufficient for the present
emergency.
