the face made by bird shot. 1t
would seem to the average observer
that Gen. Hampton should give up
hunting. He fought all through
the war and came out unhurt, and
afterwards was thrown from mule
and had his legss broken and came

EXTEAVAGANT EXPENDITURES.
The figures showing the amount Of
the State s revenue expended on crimi
nal prosecutions, as developed in tie
discussion Of that subject III the Senate
Monday, were simply startling. Ac-
cordiug to Senator Moore the total
amount received into the State treasury
last year was s., 7J9 99l. 80. and of this
amount S27S, 700. so was paid out Tor
criminal expenditures alone.
1t seems incredible that one-teuih Of
the entire income Of tho State should be
consumed in this manner. The annals
of Virginia show no greater percentage
Of crime than do those of any other
State. and not so great as some: but
even II they did, the proportion of cx-
penditures to revenue on that account
is out OF all reason.
The main source Of trouble seems to
be with the Commonwealth attorneys.
These officials are allowed by law $40
for every criminal indictment, whether
there is conviction or not. and 50 fen
every misdemeanor under the same
conditions. Taking advantage Of this
provision Of law, the States attorneys
IN some of the counties have brought
in bills for every little triiling case that
they could trump up, and SO the money
has been dissipated.
herecertainly should be someremedy
for this state Of affairs. either such as
was suggested by Senator Heaton, that
the costs Of all felonies be paid out Of
the State Treasury, ard of all misde-
meanors cut Of the treasures of the
cities and countless or, such as was sug-
gested by Senator Moore, that the Com
monwealth attorneys be paid salaries
instead Of fees, or by a decided reduc-
lion Of the fees. No doubt some such
measure will DE adopted, for the pres
ent Legislature has so far manifested a
disposition 20 thoroughly investigate
the subject Of public expenditures ia
general, and to insist upon the careful
and economical management Of the
affairs Of all the institutions Of the
State. AS Mr.. Heaton well said in Mon
day 3 debate on the subject: The time
had arrived when leakages, if any, in
State expenses, should be done away
with.

WE REFERRED in our issue OF yester-
day to the rumor that the English syn
dicate which already controls the brewe-
ries Of this country, were negotiating
for the purchase Of the cigarett1 bust
ness. The amount Of capital in the pos
session Of this syndicate seems TO be
practically unlimited, $4,000 600 hav-
ing already been invested in this
country, and many millions in addition
being on the point Of being invested.
Tho placing Of such large amounts Of
EoglIsh capital in the United States by
one syndicate must give an enormous
impulse TO that disposition on the part
of Euglish individuals and small com

has been notable for many years. Va

the eyeriucreasing influx Of Eng

The favorable reception granted the
utterances Of the distinguished Geor-
