The Window Scheme.

Mr.. WINDOWS silver scheme has met with
more favor at the hands Of the Repubt-
cans than we had supposed it would. 10
us ii seems to be clearly the project of an
anti-bimetallist. The London Economist is
an impartial authority which is quoted by
the New York Tines. That paper has no
partisan prejudices on the subject, and
what it says ought therefore to be received
with respect. We quote from the New
York Times:
The Economist Of London dismisses it
rather curly on the ground that lit IS not
likely to be proceeded WITH" out indicates
one consequence that may be predicted
with certainty; that ID, that 1t would
inevitably lead to the expulsion OF gold
from the currency and from the country.
1t would make the United States Treasury
the centre TO which would gravitate not
only all the excess silver production of
America, but also the stocks of metal held
by such institutions as the Banks of France.
Germany, and Austria-Hungary, which
have all stocks of silver, some portion OF
which. at all events, they would be only
too glad to convert into gold if the oppor-
tunity offered" To the plea that the
Treasury could refuse deposits il they
threatened TO be too large the Economist re-
plies that this could not be done without
sending down the price of silver and so
bringing about very heavy loss to the
Government

The Twn Governors.

To-day at high twelve the beautiful SIM
plicity of our republican institutions viii
be exemplified at the Capitol. The oath OF
Office will be taken by new Governor in
the presence of his predecessor and of the
general public, and the retiring Governor
will at once become private citizen.
1t Is often said that the rising sun has
more worshippers than the one whose race
IS run. Just now we feel as if we would
like to pay our homage to the setting as
well as TO the rising sun. We cannot let
the occasion pass without bearing tessi-
mony to the fact that il the whole
roll Of Virginia Governors DO. called
not one name will be found which
was more firmly fixed in the popular
heart than that OF the man who to-day
steps down and out of the highest Office in
the gift Of the people he has served faith
fully for the last four years; for whose
cause, like Mosys when he refused to be
called the son Of PHARoAH's daughter"
FIrz LEE surrendered all the honors which
the most powerful Government in the world
could bestow upon him; TO whom, and to
whom only, no looks for approving words;
and for whom now, as always, he is ready
any day TO lay down bis life if such sacri-
foe should become necessary to their well
fare. He is like his illustrious uncle, who
never allowed his personal interests to
conflict with his public duty.
II was fortunate for the people of Viz
ginia that FITz LEE became their Governor
at the critical period Of 1885. He might
have done them much harm by untimely
speeches, but he never caused them to ex-
perience even once an apprehension that
he might do an unwise act. He passed
four years unscathed by the tongue of
envy or jealousy, and begot in the public
mind such confidence in his good judg-
ment that that confidence was in danger Of
investing him with infallibility in his pub
lic acts as well as hispublic speeches. Let
us delight to do honor to such man whe-
ther he is in or out Of Office.
And what shall we say to-day of our new
Governor? Not much, though it would be
difficult TO speak too highly Of him. He
will have abundant opportunity in the
future to show to the people of Virginia
that he is all and more than all that his
most devoted friends have represented
him to be.

IN tho negative, declaring alphabetically
that execution by electricity, though y y
q unusaal.n il not crsiel.r but IS N tact
the quickest way Of painlessly shutsing
Oh this mortal COLI II mast be in thus
respect vast Improvement upon the old
method Of hanging criminal by the
neck until be was dead. And If executions
by electricity had been the custom OF our
British ancestors from - time whereof
the memory OF man runneth not TO the
contrary" and IL were now proposed 70
substitute execution by hanging, the
whole Christian world would probably cry
out against the change.
Nevertheless, we repeat our question: Is
IL not natural to feel Eve do not say to
think that execution by electricity Is q
cruel punishment It must be a mere nm
reasoning sentiment that leads to this con-
clusion; but we think il il feeling which
most persons experience when they ponder
the subject. The conflict is between the
head and the heart--a conflict that Is. we
might say. always recognized by persons
who have occasion to express an opinion
which is antagonized by an unfounded
feeling.
Judge DWIGHT traced the prohibition OF
cruel and unusual punishments to the
English Bill of Rights, but said that IT
seemed to be clear that it was not intended
10 operate as q restriction upon the power
Of Parliament. The English Bill of Rights
was chiefly protest against acts OF tyran-
ny and oppression on the part OF the
Crown, said the Judge. who added that
there was even some doubt whether or not
the prohibition of cruel and unusual pun
ishments was intended as restriction upon
the power Of Congress. We quote:
with regard to the provision in the Con-
stitution of this State the case is different.
| IL must have been intended ne restriction
upon The Legislative authority. We nave
no doubt That if the Legislature OF TINS
State should undertake to prescribe Tor
anv offence against its laws the punishment
of burning at the stake, breaking at the
wheel, ETC., it would be the duty of the
courts 10 pronounce upon such attempt
! the condemnation of the Constitution.
1.-The question is now TO be answered
| whether the legislative act here assalled IS
subject 10 the same condemnation. Ger
tainly il is not so on its flee. for. although
the mode Of death described is conceded
to be unusual, there is no common know
ledge or consent that it Is cruel. 1t Is q
question of fact" 80,
IF thc question were of the advisability
| in the change of the mode OF ipflictlng
death by capitol punishment the discussion
might be prolonged. As we are confined
TO the question of constitutionality we
deem further discussion unnecessary"

Taxes ON MORTGAGES.

The following communication discusses
wrong which has long existed. There
are many other defects in our taxing laws.
What, for instance. is gained by asking n
taxpayer to state the largest sum of money
he has had in his possession at any time
during the year! And what rank injustice
it is to tax mechanics on the few hun
dred dollars they make annually over
and above the 5000 exemption. although
they pay out nearly every dollar of it for

Double Taxes ON Land.


1--WE recommend a revision OF the laws
imposing taxes on land with view, to re-
lieving il Of any unjust or unequal taxa
ton now imposed upon it, Ninth plank
of the Democratic platform.
Is there any unjust or unequal taxation
imposed on land by the existing laws2
Ietus see. A has $1,000 in money. b
has a tract of land worth 81 900. The rate
of taxation for State, county, school, and
roads amounts TO say 81 on the SloO, or l
per cent.
A then pays on his 81, 900 OF money. .....~.si0
pays on his $1,000 worth OF land. ~
Maxim total taxes collected on g. 900 Of vsluasf2)
B the next year borrows AS $1,000 and
gives him lien on his land for 1t. Under
the present system Of taxation there Will
then be collected
OF A on his mortl age OF Be land for $1,000. SlO
OF r on the 1900 worth OF land. ...:..... 10
OF b on the 900 OF money borrowed Of A.. 10
$50
And without cent Of additional value
having been introduced or created there Is
collected on the same old $4,000 of values
total of $50 instead of twenty. Evident
" the tax on one of the two values has
been doubled.
And we find that 3. without being cent
y
double the taxes that he then paid.
How is this brought aboTt?
The 81 900 of money which has been
transferred from to Il still pays the same
tax of $40 that it paid when a held 1T; so
if double tax is paid it must have come
out of the land value. On examining the
transaction we find that in consideration
of the 81 900 in money b has transferred to
A an interest IN his land worth that amount
and that A has paid full taxes on tho value
of that interest in the land, and that IS
also has been made to pay full taxes on IT
Just as he did before he bad parted with
anv interest in il to A. In other words,
that the mortgaged land value has been
made to pay double taxes-once by A and
again by b, regardless Of the payment by
A. Now, the DemoC ratio party has pro-
missed il they were lntrusted with power
that the land shall be relieved of all I'M
Just and unequal taxes imposed upon 1t.
How can justice and equality be secured
in such cases as the above?
BY apportioning the taxes on the value
of the land under mortgage or lien be-
tween those interested in 1t in proportion
TO the value of their respective interests.
In such case as the above, if the law now
in successful operation in California were
adopted here A would pay $40 taxes on
the value of b. r 900 mortgage interest
in the land end Il would pay SO on the
81 600 of mosey borrowed OF \, each thus
paying and the tax-collector receiving the
same amcimt of taxes on the $1,000 OF
values that thew did before this simple
transfer took place
viii the Democratic Legislature do this
Justice to the struggling owners OF our
debt-laden lands which the party promised
them when seeking TO secure their votes

The past year and the present have
shaken hands. The New Year, like the
new store of little over year ago, has
many an achievement in its promises,
The growth of wealth and luxury in our
great city has brought with it increased
taste for works OF art as well as richness
in all directions of expenditures. In
the past the prices of the choicest bids
OF all kinds OF fabrics as we'll as the rare
collections OF artistic gems have been
beyond the reach of the majority of
people, and it is in this respect that this
house has set out to make new de-
partEre.
Cur collection is to consist at all
times Of the very choicest specimens for
Wearing Apparel, Decorative Art, use
full as well as ornamental works-in
short, everything that ingenuity ofworld-
producing scientists can establish or
public taste can demand.
It's the rapid strides and progress OF
our city that meet here with true COM
pensation and acknowledgment The
buying power is a premium for your
own advancement and growth. we are
the willing mediators between your bid
ding and the accomplishments Of sue
cess. For upwards OF quarter OF
century your money invested here has
brought you returns Of interest on your
future purchases until you have at last
arrived at the very doors of the manu-
facturers themselves.
No city can boast of greater success,
no house can hope for more liberal con-
fidence, no managers more ambitious to
make the city Of Richmond the Model
Shopping-Place of the South, and
whether you dip into your purse lightly
or sail over read OF extravaganza, the
self.same voucher underlies every trans
action.

His Mastery Description Of Camp
Life in Eastern Siberia
Here is the way the St. Paul and Mime
apolis daily papers speak Of Mr. KEENAN,:
If any lecturer ever made a more
favorable impression before Minneapo-
lis audience than did George KEENAN,
upon his first appearance last evening, it
lieth not within the memory of the oldest
inhabitaut, and lis safe to say that every
one of the large audience in attendance
will be sorely tempted to hear the remain
ing lectures the course. Eloquence
flows from the eminent travellers lips
with every word, and al times his des-
criptions are intensely dramatic. The
readers of his articles in the Century
magazine were prepared for the man, but
scarcely to the pleasurable extent to
which his word pictures carried them
last evening. Mr.. Keenan,, unlike most
lecturers of the present day, needs no
stereopticon to illustrate his lectures.
ASIDE from skillful use of language,
which changes what would otherwise be
dry prose into poetry, is added the i'm
presslveness of of extemporaneous talk.
Frequently throughout his lecture he in
tersperses gestures, but these are weak
beside his words. and twice he sang odd
Siberian songs that provoked the audi
ence to enthusiastic applause.

Improved American Oats.

I imported some of this variety last
year from Joseph Harris Seed Company,
Moreton Farm, Rochester, NY. l sowed
them the 18th, 10Th and 18th of April
ten or fourteen days late for last year: l
think. l sowed two and one-fourth
bushels per acre. or little over two
thirds of a sack full. They yielded
fifty-nine and half bushels per acre,
machine measure; eighteen bushels more
than nv other oats on same kind of land.
and from sixteen to twenty-five bushels
more per acre than my neighbors' oats.
There has been a variety of oats sent
out by the Department of Agriculture
called the Harris Oat" Some of oul
friends may think it Is one we have in
troduced. Not so; we know nothing OF
it. The only variety of oat we raise. OF
sell is called the Improved American. y
In this neighborhood it is called the
''Harris Oat." and is rapidly taking pre-
cedence of all other varieties. Taking l,
all in all, it is the best oat we have ever
seen. 1t is white oat. stiff straw. ripens
early, has never rusted with US, and will
produce more and better oats per acrt
than any variety we have vet grown
