FALSE INDEPENDENCE.

The report from Norfolk of an In
dependent movement just on the eve Of a
State convention IL logical consequence
of a great flaw in The policy of the Demo
cratic party
The Independent il the mushroom
growth on the rotten parts of the body
polite as far as We know the thing in
Virginia. Assoon AS great party allows
lis patriotic bfazOn 10 he smirched with
false principles painted by renegades, that
moment is the signal for the whole line
TO waver Just from a lack of encourage
ment at the rallying point. When we
yield our well accepted and traditional
principles to the demands of Independ-
ents we may gain some votes, but we
lose many more, and with them the pride
OF union and principle
As for the personal character Of Inde-
penden,s their acts and associates can
speak for them, and it cannot be denied
that their motive is generally the same
greed of power, office, and money.
The honest claim OF independence in
our Virginia politics would be simply an
assertion of the pure Democracy which
has so often been left in the rear for
plunderers to prey upon while the party
marched out with any sort of cry that
they thought would suit an occasion.
II the true Democrats would be bold
and patriotic enough to call the party TO
its RICH, principles, that might TIC an indie
pendeRce highly commendable and yir-
tuous, especially if done by citizens who
were not politicians. The prominent
feature in the coming national contest is

taxes as shall reduce the immense sur
Plus revenue, and do it without hurting
the industrial interests of the country.
There is no free trade in this, nor can
the manufacture Justly avow that there
is aught in it to injure his business if
fairly conducted
Whatever move is made for the present
towards reducing the war tariff, should
be made on few certain lines and with
out any sudden and radical measures as
would disturb the working business
This has been understood all over the
country as the purpose Of the party ia
power and il would be wise to bear the
oft repeated promise well in mind
1t is to be hoped that Norfolk indie

COPYRIGHT LAW

The international copyright bill passed
the Senate by decisive majority.
II has certain defects, but it has this
supreme merit, tina, it makes q conditional
recognition of the rights Of literary prop
erty, and provides certain degree of,pro-
lection Tor such property for foreign au-
thors, which will also be accorded 10 our
own. 1t has the hearty support OF all
interests directly affected By it, and This
fact has been so clearly made known 10
the Senate that the bill has received an
extraordinary support in that body.
1t has long been disgrace that the
literary interest of America, whether
good bad or indifferent, should be left al
the mercy of cormorant publishers who
could steal from foreign authors and
force the production of tie native author
down to compete with the piratical
prizes
In another respect especially wrong
was felt and that was The long standing
habit of stealing foreign plays, changing
the title, tie names of few characters,
and putting them before the public under
a bogus copyright
This crime against art IS prevented to
some extent, but the real remedy is to
make the dramatic author swear TO the
character of his work in his application
for copyright.
