The State Debt.

1t is now understood that the Virginia
debt Commission, known as the Olcott
Commission, formed in New York to
bring about settlement of the Virginia
debt, have virtually reached conclu-
sion. The substance of the proposal
recommended by the Board for the cred
itors to accept is that the committee and
authorized representatives of the State
shall agree on the amount within the
ability of the State, and the com
mittee rests on the good faith and
justice of Virginia. The committee
will offer to surrender the bonds in
exchange for the Jumped amount of
new bonds, bearing such interest as the
State can offer with the present taxa
ton. After settlement with the State
a commission of three, appointed by the
creditors. will apportion the new bonds
among the several class of creditors.

movement is made to improve the
city. The activities of life and the
progress of the community are such
frightful innovations upon Large Tax
Payers" traditional notions, that he
turns over In his coffin and yawps. He
has had a spasmodic notorIety for TWEEN
ty years. He came forth with a snarl
and bite when the present water works
system was adopted; he growled and
groaned and whined when the public
school buildings were determined on; he
put on a grim visage when the electric
lights system was adopted; he made
sport of the paid fire department and
the street railway, and has thrust his
form across every suggestion and plan
for the improvement of the city. Why
not oppose the purchase of the Fair
Grounds by the city at one-third of it's
value? He would be inconsistent if he
did not, and he must maintain his con-
sistency. The reservation made by the
Fair Ground Board is really concession
to the city. The Board obligates itself to
apolicy that will pay the city every Year
