II the affairs of the Democratic party
of Virginia are to be managed as at pres
ent, we may expect the following to be
the schedule of principles upon which IL
will be proposed to lose another election
WHEREAS in view of the corrupt char
acter OF the United States Supreme Court,
and their failure to recognize the prin-
ciples of State Rights as laid down re-
peatedlv in this State prior to April, 1860;
and whereas there exists fallacy in the
popular mind that the law of the said
United States Supreme Court is para
mount to the resolutions of the lndem-
nitv Board of the State of Virginia: there
fore, l.
ResoIued, That majority of the In
demnity Board constitute the highest
authority upon all legislative and judicial
questions, and that any man who hereai-
ter presumes to argue against It's auto
cratic authority as laid down by the
Richmond Disp0tch, shall be ueclareu al
enemy Of the Commonwealth.
III. The Riddleberger act is hereby de-
clared final settlement Of the debt of the
State; and the coupons not recognized by
that act are, therefore, nOn-receivable for
taxes. Any citizen attempting to pay
taxes with said coupons shall be at once
held responsible to the law of the State,
and dealt with as a criminal provided
he be such a person as. may be safely
prosecuted.
Ill Whereas the frequent victories Of
the Malone party have given us lesson
in the ways of political contests, it is
hereby ordered, that the Democratic
party recognize the sacred integrity OF
committee and that the said committee
are to be appointed as at present, and not
elected according to the mistaken idea
of Democratic principles
The foregoing to be published in the
Richmond Dispatch, and the August
Moonshee and Learned Pundit be re-
quested to express their opinion on the
same subject to the scaling process of the
Indemnity Board.

With all respect, personally and officially,
TO the gentlemen who have charge of the
policy, let US ask how it is possible to
make settlement" by merely calling a
thing settlements"
If you owe person 800, you might
draw note for $75, and after offering
it to him, call that note a Settle
ment" of the debt; but if your creditor
denies that it is settlement" and the
law protects him in his demand for the
other $25, how does your note work?
Answer: Just as the Riddleberger bill
works, which you persist in calling a
settlement" while the coupons which it
excludes are protected by law.

The Secret Session.

[Publicola in New York Times
For several generations all reporting
and censure of the doings of Parliament
were, as far as possible, suppressed by the
despotic exercise of its pretended priv
leges. The rule of secracy as to nomina-
tions now enforced by our Senate was, in
principle, relentlessly enforced by the
British Parliament for more than a cen
tury over the whole range of its action
on the simple theory that it was Paria-
mentary privilege of members to be ex-
empt from the annoyance and response
bility of scrutiny and criticism on the
part of the press and the people. AS late
rs 1747 the editor of the Genheman's
Ndgdsine was arrested and brought to the
bar of the House of Commons for daring
to report Parliamentary proceedings.
The theory that the people have no
right to publish the laws or the proceed
ings of legislative body without its con-
sent was enforced even on this side Of the
Atlantic. A printer was arrested in Vir-
ginia in 1852 for publishing the laws.
Dongan, as Governor of New York, in
1888, was instructed to suffer no such
printing. When in 1649, public opinion
forced the magistrates of Massachusetts,
TO allow the publication of the laws, they
did so under protest, and the publication
of public documents appears not to have
been provided in Massachusetts until
1919.

An error in setting the type made us
say yesterday, that some ten years back
the Sinking Fund Commissioners were
investing regularly every month 100000
in Riddleberger bonds. 1t should have
read "some two years back" they were
doing this But this gives us the occa-
sion to ask again, If the revenues were
no larger than the Governor thinks them,
how could the Board of Sinking Fund
Commissioners have undertaken to invest
such a sum as this in Riddleberger
hOndsf

The Coupon Boomerang.

According to the collector of State
taxes at Richmond, $4,000 in coupons
hlue been rendered him so far this year
in payment of licenses and taxes. He re-
fused to receive them, but will not levy
for the collection Of the dues in money.
So that much, in Richmond alone, has
been thrown away up to this time this
year; for the tender of coupons, accord
ing to the decision of the highest court in
the land, is equivalent to the payment of
State dues, whether the coupons be re-
ceived or nOt.-Alerandrid Gazette.

Senator Edmunds will not suffer very

of Mr. Arthur's funeral Mr. Edmunds
undoubtedly felt that upon such an oc-

hand for the sake of the prophecies, just

FISHING FOR THE SOUTHERN CLUB.

tOh SUI Nfhc ne
The Herald pictures the 7ri6uue in the
act of sitting beside the placid waters of
the South on a flowery bank and casting
a bait for the Southern vote:
at begs the people of the South to re-
member that the Democracy is nothing
if not party of free trade and assures
them that the Republican party is the
party which believes in fully protecting
American industries and American work
men 1t evidently thinks that this brown
hackle of the tariff is just the bait to cap
ture the whole school, for with amazing
hopefulness it declares that
"Virginia has seen light. So has North
Carolina. Both of these States are likely
to cast their electoral votes in 1888 for
the Republican Presidential candidate.
And even in South. Carolina, on the the
DRY that lit is always darkest just before
day, there is no reason why our Republi-
can friends should not take heart Of
hope"

notwithstanding the fact of there be-
ing. no railroad in.thc township, there is
an industrious, thrifty people hero, and
we invite Immigration into our borders.
The lands can be bouhgt for from six to
Twelve dollars an acre, and would richly
repay men with money seeking invest
ments. In tho centre Of tho township
~ the quiet but pretty little village or

hundred scholars in constant attend
