EVERY MAN MUST LOOK OUT FOR
HIMSELF.

The Richmond Star Of October 9Th con-
tanned an editorial article by no means
friendly to our new water-gas plant. 1t
had very little TO say against the quality
of the gas furnished and IL had to admit
its cheapness. IL might have also added
that the new plant has produced a great
saving of expense to the city. We for
bear to enlarge on this item at this time
because we intend shortly TO make a com
piete and detailed statement of the results
it has accomplished
In determining whether we shah return
take, into consideration the fact that It
enables the city to furnish employment to
laborers. Now we insist that all the evils
OF bad government are involved in this
proposition OF the Star. 1t is, OF course,
our duty TO care for those Of our poor
who are unable to care for themselves.
but there is no duty resting on the public
TO take care Of poor person who can. by
industry and work take care OF himself,
nor is the public under any obligation to
make empiOyHentS, IN oIuer that men
without employment may get jobs. Not
only is IT under no such obligation, but 1t is
q total perversion OF all governmental pow
er for II TO do so. and TO do so would inevi-
tably result in converting the whole public
into huge food-pile for the lazy TO live
on. The principle is not TO be tolerated In
any form. IL is TO be instantly rejected
and trampled under foot whenever and
wherever IL shows its head. The whole
duty that government owes TO the individ-
ual is 70 take care OF the unfortunates who
are physically or mentally unable 10 take
care OF themselves and 10 compel all
citizens to keep each one within his own
sphere, so that every other one may have
full and free opportunity to- exercise the
talents and muscles that God has given
him 10 the best advantage to himself ac-
cording to his opinion Of advantages.

THAT SECRECY oFTHE SENATE.

When Senator Dolph's resolution calling
on the State Department for information
as to whether the Chinese government
has requested this government to amend
the provision of the Chinese exclusion act
came up I'm the Senate on Tuesday, Mr.
Dolph was cut off from making a speech
on Il for the reason that It pertained to n
treaty and the Senate insists on consider
ing treaties and everything belonging to
them in secret session.
Many Of these secret sessions Of the
Senate are absurd and the practice should
be limited and discouraged. There is no
legislation adopted by our government;
Of greater Importance to very large
body Of our citizens than the treaties
entered into between this and other
governments. The whole body Of the
people is entitled to know all the steps
taken in agreeing TO a treaty between the
commissioners of this government and the
commissioners of another government,
they are entitled TO know what the treaty
provides for as il comes from the hands
Of the commissioners, and they are en-
titled to know all that is said and done
in the Senate when the proposed treaty
is before that body for ratification or
refusal; but as things are they know
nothing of It until it is an adopted treaty.
1t is a thing which is going TO have
most important operation and influence
upon the interests and rights OF the peo-
pie. and the whole people have right to
know all that is going on in connection
with it, that they may express their views
and inform the minds of their senators
Of the way that they see 1t will bear
upon them and their affairs. It is not
thing to be done in a corner 1t is a thing
TO be done in the fullest light OF open
day.
The commissioners or ambassadors OF
other governments may require and de-
mand secrecy in their negotiations with
us, but the practice and the whole idea
is opposed 20 the genius Of our government
and our people, and except under the
most imperative reasons the secret ses-
sions Of the Senate should be disallowed.
There IS a good deal that needs amend
ment in the United States Senate and the
| first step for amending all is to make
| senator's responsible directly 10 the peo-
pie by making them elected by direct
vote Of the people.
The fact is we abhor this business Of Sc
crecy wherever It appears. a good thing
is never made better by being kept secret
1t IS never hurt by exposing it TO all.
We believe in secrecy for but one thing,
and that is the ballot. If all men were
| resolute and brave we should insist upon
the viva voce vote. But many men are
timid. and our experience has proved
10 us that many will not vote at ali, and
many, when they vote. will vote contrary
to their wishes, II compelled to declare
| openly how they vote.

ROUTEIIE, AGAIN.

The speech made by Boutelle OF Maine
OH the bill 10 repeal the Federal election
laws demands further notice than we gave
Il yesterday. He pointed out the impor-
tant positions held In the committees OF
the Senate and of the House by gentle
men who had been Confederate soldiers,
and his speech was, by necessary In
tendment, an argument that this consu-
tutes an injury and wrong Of some
sort.
we were harsh enough yesterday on Bou-
telle's animus and spirit. so that we shall
meet his argument to-day with simple
and severe logic.
When the war ended the government OF
the United States was compelled to take
one OF two positions mi respect TO tie
States that had seeded and constituted
the Confederacy. II had to admit that the
act OF secession withdrew those States
from the Union, and that they were TO be
regarded thereafter as conquered terri
tory, or it had to insist that the act OF
secession was simply a void act that
the States never withdrew actually from
the Union at all, but were always in the
Union. ard that they We're simply con-
trolled from 1861 10 1865 by insurgant gov
ernments. II chose TO adopt the latter
position, and this necessitated system
OF reconstruction OF State governments
in the Southern States. Congress passed
acts providing for electlng these new and
reconstructed governments. the acts were
complied with, and representatives to the
Senate and House OF Representatives were
chosen under the provisions OF these laws
and were admitted 10 seats In both
houses. When they were admitted 10
those seats. that act brought all the new
State governments into all the govern
mental relations to the United States
government that the government OF any
other Of the States occupied to n. In
other words. the Southern States were
totally rehabilitated as integral members
OF the Union, and clothed with all the
rights In choosing their senators and rep
resentstiyes that any other State OF
the Union possessed.
When Southern constituencies were left
perfectly free to select their representa-
tvss TO suit themselves. whom were they

he said, "in breaking away from the
national election laws. The people Of
this country will not submit TO choice
Of their officials by the dice box or jug
glers' hat. Above all things, we must
have pure elections. Our elections must
be above suspicion Of faint Of fraud.
Citizens will not respect officials whose
elections are questioned or known 10
have been secured by palpabe and open
fraud.
by the repeal OF the Federal election
law all Federal control OF the elections
Of national officers is withdrawn and
local laws will govern such elections.
We have reached a condition I'm our ma
tional life that we submit to the most
infamous outrages upon the ballot OF
the people. Under the laws governing
elections in the different States, fraud
is carried on continually TO an alarming
extent and some law which will provide
for judicial inquiry by Federal officials
is certainly a necessity"
