The City Debt.
RICHMOND. Va, March II, 1890.

JlCUMOhD, NAss uldlN ~ awe
To ne Editor Of de Dispatch:
The charter of Richmond says, but the
bonds or interest bearing debt OF the city
of Richmond shall not in the aggregate ex.
coed Is per centum of the assessed value OF
the taxable real estate of said city. and any
excess of such bonded or interest-bearlng
debt over and above the limit herein pre-
scribed which may be created or issued IN
violation of this provision, shall be VOID as
TO the CITY,"
The floating debt of this city, which now
exceeds the enormous sum OF three hun
bred and fifty thousand dollars, IS IN the
shape of promlssory negotiable notes,
which in the Judgment of some persons are
within the meaning of the words or trttT-
eSt-bedrin1 deb," as they undoubtedly bear
interest, and if this Is "A correct view OF the
subject, il should be added 10 the bonded
debt in determining the debt limit OF the
city.
Should this be done the limit would be
so nearly reached as TO make 1t matter OF
serious consideration to those who Will
purchase bonds or other Understanding
debts of the city.
What is your view of the subject?
ENQUIRER.
The words "interest. bearing debt" and
the words bonded debt" were no doubt
used by the Legislature as equivalent ex-
pressions. Tho floating debt, therefore
that is, if this assumption be true-is not
covered by the language quoted above
from the charter. Nevertheless, if the
Legislature had foreseen that Richmond
would contract a floating debt of S350,OO0
or more, that body, with the approval Of
the Richmond advocates of the provision
above quoted would, it is almost certain,
have provided for including all debts bear
ing interest with the amount Of debt that
was not TO be exceeded. AS it is, it would
seem 10 be easy to evade the inhibition OF
the charter by borrowing money on nego-
table notes. This the Legislature never
expected Richmond to do. 1t was to
strengthen and protect her credit that this
provision was incorporatedinto the charter.
But, after all, what does the inhibition
amount TO-? Who is TO determine when
the limit is exceeded? Who is TO decide
what bonds would be void" using the
language of the charter? Would these
"void" bonds become obligatory upon the
city as soon as the bonded debt was brought
within the limit? The Legislature having
prescribed penalty for issuing more bonds
than the charter allows, no other penalty
can be enforced, so far as we know. The
creditors would IN that case be the only
persons punished! But even they would
not be allowed TO suffer. The city would
pay all her just debts. void" or not.
Moral The city fathers should allow no
such amount of floating debt as would sug-
gest an attempt to eyade the provision
Enquirer" quotes from the charter. Nor
should they allow the bonded debt to he
increased until they are ready to increase
the taxes-that is, until 1891.

The Senate and the Reporters.


The Senate holds the hot end of the
poker. The reporters hold the other.
Consequently the reporters can laugh to
scorn siege such as that now being car
ried on in the Senate under the lead of
Senator DoLPH. What could be more
laugbable than this farce of compurga-
tion?-compureation not in the legal
sense of the word perhaps, but in its ety.
theological sense.
Shall we be told that every senator has
purged himself? What of it? We know
that senatorial secrets do not themselves
escape into the outside world. They are
carried out by senators. How is il pos
sible for the reporters TO publish these Sc
crets unless they are first made known to
the reporters by senators?
To charge the reporters with "sedition,"
"a has been done, IL absurdly foolish. As
well might they be charged with petty lar
ceny. In fact the entire investigation re-
minds US of certain royal star-chamber pro-
ceedings in England hundreds of years ago
rather than Of AN orderly, dignifed search
after truth worthy OF q search. Suppose it
Is discovered that reporter seductively OBJ
tanned from senator one of these yalueless
secrets? What will be the punishment T?
And who Is TO be punished Shall it be the
senator, OF shall it be the reporter? Or
shall il be both? Who is TO decide ques-
tions Of conscience for the senators? Will
Mr. DoLrH be allowed TO put his construc-
ton upon the rules and usages of the Sem
ate. or will each senator be allowed to de
eide all such questions for himself? And
having told the committee that he had
conscientiously divulged certain fact TO
sreportor, the senator must either be pun
ished or else the reporter must be excused
along with him.
There is no end to the complications pos
bible in this case. The Senate is walking
into labyrinth without any thread in its
hands which may serve as clue when it
desires 10 return to the world.
