ORR INV BATTLE-sHIPs.

We are glad to learn that the Secre-

1t is very important that our Govern
ment should have not only more than one,
but more thai two ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
private ~ship-yards to fall back upon.
The Union ship-yard, in San Francisco,
and the yard at Newport News are Of
the best in the country. and both have
demonstrated by repeated launchings
their ability to do the highest class Of
work. Irwin Scott. at San Francisco, has
developed a ship-yard which is an honor
to the country and mean Of defense to
the Pacific coast. He should be given a
fair show for the good Of that remote
section Of our country.
At Newport News we have the most
extensive ship-yard in America, and for
the sake Of a few dollars Of nominal
difference in estimates the Government
would err I'm sound craftsmanship and run
the risk Of actual delay by crowding all
the work into one yard. and not avail
ing itself Of such able allies as can be
found. and ought to be used, at San
Francisco and Newport News.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

The London Times Paris correspondent
recently wrote his paper that the present
condition Of affairs in the French Republic
foreshadows a revolution. and that the
semblance of force at the French capital
is but an evidence Of weakness. But the
recent turn Of affairs do not Justify the
alarm of the correspondent, as the con-
fdence voted Friday to the Ribot gov
eminent by the emphatic majority Of
1853 to 81 shows that the French people
nave not yet lost faith in the Republi-
can form of government. which they
rave been DESTROYS of ever since the ex-
p~ulsion Of Charles X.
The disclosures so far made in the
Panama scandal are Of a character to
impeach Republicans, but not the Repub-
lie. AS a contemporary remarks, they
recall the spectacle of venality revealed
in our own country by the Credit Mobi-
lier scandal. when men of the highest
social and political rank were either sus-
pected or convicted Of having embraced
the opportunity to make money" They
have not yet, however, furnished enough
proof TO justify the assumption that the
French are incapable of %intelligently
judging events, or that they are prepared
to reverse the form Of government they
have sought for more than half a CEN
fury to establish.
The royalists and Bonapartists are ac-
lively intriguing to turn the present con-
ditions to their own account. In these
i%ntrigues the former are more active
than the latter. and there are doubtless
grounds for the report that the young
Duke Of Orleans will lead the attack If
an opportunity for him TO seat his
father on the throne Of the Bourbons
presents itself. But the French people
have imbibed such a deep-seated hate
towards the Bourbons that It is hardly
possible they can ever again submit to
the royalists. SO with the imperialists.
The glory Of France under the first En-
pire was caused by one man, whose
peer as a bold, audacious, reverseless,
military genius no European nation is
likely TO ever again see, m the attempts
Of his successor to re-establish the
strength and glitter Of imperial rule
proved so disastrous that there is no more
love in France now for the Empire han
for the Kingdom.
There can be no revolution under any
circumstances unless the people, backed
up by the army and navy, favor it, and
mana Of thaca OF prCcopf Iccfro 70 Can tb,
Republic destroyed. Therefore, even if
the Rlbot ministry should eventually go
down under the present wave Of excite
ment. and Paris should once again be
the scene of blockaded streets and riot
run rampant, as she has so often been
since the great revolution of 1889. there
is enough real devotion to Republican
principles among the masses to ensure
the stability of the present Government.

MIR. wIsE's ADDRESS ON VIRGINIA.


We publish on another page a lengthy
address delivered by MIR. John S. Wise
before the Congregational Club, of New
York, on the 18th instant, upon the sub
ject Of "The Influence Of the jamestown
Colony in the Making Of the Republic"
Mr.. Wise has said so much against Vir-
ginia that 1t will be something Of a sur
prise TO Nirginlans TO read the very
able and eloquent review that he makes
of the sources whence the strains OF the
Virginian's blood have been drawn, and
of the noble achievements Of the
wonderful co%mmingling Of the best breeds
Of the genus homo which constituted the
Virginian Of 1916, 1776, 1861, and which
makes him what he is in 1892. No
where have we seen a clearer statement
of the different migrations TO Virginia that
that made by Mr.. Wise. and rarely has
there been presented a more exciting and
stirring picture than that which he pre-
sents Of the Virginian upon the great
field Of Gettysburg.
The amazing thing Is. that a man who
seems TO have such an apprehension Of
the character Of Virginians should have
ever supposed that they could be ruled
by the revolving combination Of Malone
hirelings and negroes. 1t is quite prob
able, however, that since the rise and fall
of Mahoneism Mr.. Wise has studied Vir-
ginia history with unwonted assiduity.
and has felt the forces Of Virgfaia-
acter in a way he will never forget. Both

wishes to add to their volume the notes
which State Banks would issue.
AS to Delusion number two The Times
wishes to say that IL there were a State
Bank at Farmville which issued notes
that were so thoroughly believed I'm by all
the people OF Prince Edward that they
passed freely from hand to hand all over
that county. these notes would be just
as much "'cutrency'' in Prince Edward
county as the "~greenback' Is in the
United States. And this currency" might
hold its head up amongst currency
magnates with the highest; for II the
'~'greenback'' contemptuously said to it.
you will not circulate outside the boun-
darles OF your little county" It could
reply, And you win not circulate out
side the territory Of your circumscribed
nation" ouoad Prince Edward, The bank
note would be just as much currency
as the "greenback" and quoad all places
outside the boundaries Of the United
States 1t would be just as much cur
rency" as the "greenback'-that is
neither would be currency outside Of
those boundaries.
We quite agree with the Dispatch in
the following State bank notes being
meant by "promissory notes'):
Now, these prOmissory notes will not
be worth the paper used In making them
unless they are TO be employed as cur
rency. And, Of course. the attempt will
be made thus to employ them. No indie
pendent State banks viii b. established
unless it is understood that their notes
will be employed as currency
This is perfectly true. They would be
waste paper simply II they were not to
be used as currency" But they might
be currency in Prince Edward County
without being currency" In Pennsyl-
vania.
The Dispatch then asks:
"And what sort Of currency would they
CONSTITUTED? A poor substitute they W uld
prove to be for the National Bank notes
and greenbacks. which now pass as freely
in Maine and Wyoming as in New York
and Washington City
They would not be a substitute for the
National Bank notes and greenbacks at
all. They would be currency aid to those
instruments in the County Of Prince Ed
ward, and, II the Farmville bank were
able to redeem them all on demand, and
the people Of Prince Edward all had i'm
plicit faith in the ability Of the Bank
to redeem them on demand they would
be just as good currency in Prince Ed
ward county as the best that could be
made.
Therefore The Times concludes that the
whole discussion. on its part, properly
assumes that a currency which will not
circulate away from home, may never
theless be just as good a currency for
home purposes as one hat will circulate
away from home.
The Dispatch has taken n good long
time to incubate upon its Decisions, and
il we are any judge Of Delusions it Is
under them still. 1t nay get them dis
PEELED, though, when II reads this.

SOUTH CAROLINA RAILROAD LAW

SOUTH CAHOLINA RAILROAD LAW.
We have not seen the railroad law
which the Legislature Of South Carolina
has recently passed, and know nothing of
it but what press telegram have stated.
These describe it as one Of the most dras-
tic character, which places the railroads
of the State in all respects under the con-
troll Of a railroad commission appointed
in substance by the Legislature. The
commission may make the rates TO be
charged by the railroads, and may re-
quire them generally to do whatever the
commission determines that they ought to
do, which ends control of the railroads by
their owners.
This view Of the relation Of railroads 10
the State wholly ignores the rights Of
property I'm railroads. 1t makes no al
lowance whatever for the fact that the
railroad was built and constructed by
private parties out of their W
private means in the hope and expecta-
ton that they were making profitable in
vestments in building them. II proceeds
upon the assumption that private parties
should feel themselves amply compen-
stated for contributing their money to
railroads In the fact that they have been
permitted TO do so, and that their money,
once securely locked up in the railroad. is
there for the benefit of the public. and to
no extent whatever for the benefit Of those
who contributed it.
This view is not confined TO those who
enacted the South Carolina statute. 1t
has a deep lodgment in the minds Of
many persons elsewhere. particularly
amongst ~agriculturists. We are per-
suaded. however. that If any reasonable
and just man. whether agriculturlst or
not, viii think fairly and candidly upon
the subject he will be forced to conclude
that he does very great injustice by hold
ing and acting upon this opinion. The
railroads are not enemies Of society. They
are absolutely necessary to the business
and convenience Of all. Not only so, but
they feed and support more than one-hfth
Of the entire population of the United
States. and the securities that were Issued
by them for the money that created
them constitute the investment in which
are fixed an enormous amount of the say
ing9 Of the people. When, therefore, the
agrieulturist frames his legislature upon
such principles as lie at the bottom of
the south Carolina act. he is aiming a
mortal blow at more than one-hfth the
