"The only way to protect unskilled
laborers," says the Argus, {" is to decrease
the competition among them" But
there are two ways of decreasing compe.
tltlon. One is, as the Argus suggests,
by decreasing the imm igration of IN
skilled laborers to this country But
there is another, which the Argus does
not suggest, which is by decreasing the
importation of the products of unskilled
laborers to this country This method of
decreasing competition with skilled labor
is recognized in the Wilson bill, and
duties are laid on the finished product
with that end in view. Now if that
case of skilled laborers, why should it
not be recognized and used in the case of
unskilled laborers? If duty be placed
on manufacture of iron to reduce the
competition of foreign manufactures
why should not duty be placed on. iron
ore to reduce the competition of the
foreign producer of iron ore? That is to
say, why should the man who fashions
iron ore into beams and girders and the
thousand and one other articles of use
be protected and the man whose
labor digs the iron ore from the earth
be unprotected? The Democratic party
has always professed great solicitude
for the masses, but here is case where
it expose the masses to unrestrained
competition while it shields the classes.
Is this fair, is this in accordance with
Democratic professions? If either class
is to be shielded should not it be the
class that is the most helpless, that is the
unskilled laborers?

What the United States Navy did if
wrong, ought to be undone. But if it
cannot be done without fighting, if the
present government is prepared to resist
attempts to GUST it, we should be sorry to
see any blood shed for any such purpose.
In our opinion the, cause is not worth
the life of single American marine.

The administration organs which
while ago were SO fiercely in favor of
righting the wrong are evidently, along
with the administration, preparing to let
themselves down easily.

The VOORHEES, bill for coming the seia-
norage is not likely to become a law.
though its introduction seems to have
been sufficient to badly affect our
securities in Europe Coming the
seignorage, as we pointed out some time
ago. is an essentially dishonest perform
ance. The notes issued under the SHEER
man law represent the full market value
OF the silver coin on which they are
based. AS matter of fact they are notes
issued in payment for it, endowed with
the legal tender quality. But of course

THE PRESS.
MONDAY. DECEMBER IS.

The Argus announced Saturday that
if the victim of the Yarmouth assault
lived three days more her assailants
oould--n be convicted of murder in case
she then died. We don't know where the
Argus gets its law, but we suspect that,
along with it's charges against the chief
engineer of.the fire department, it evolves
it out of the inner consciousness of its
coroner.

The Boston Post says of the law per-
hitting recounts that in practice it has
been found that in place of greater GER
tainty it has served to increase existing
doubt, while at the same time it has
opened the way to a new class of frauds,
or at last to suspicion of fraud" AS this
appears to be the general opinion in
Massachusetts it is difficult to see why
the law is permitted to remain.

LAFFee-Y ON THE LAWS DELAY.
Criticizes the Courts for Lax,ty and Cites
the Amelia Case.

In the last iSsue Of The Christian
Advocate Rev. Or. Laferty criticizes
very sharply the courts Of Virginia. and
endeavors 10 point out glaring defects
in the judicial system OF the Common
wealth. He refers t. the recent Amelia
lynchinc and the causes which led there
to. in demonstrating the delays In the In
Fiction Of punishment deserved by
criminal. In this case new trials mad been
granted twice because in one instance the
Deputy Sheriff had failed to sign the
name OF the Sheriff 20 his return of the
writ of venire facias, and in the other the
Clerk who Is clerk OF both County and
Circuit Court. signed the writ as Clerk
Of the County Court instead of Clerk Of
the Circuit Court This made It necessary
to drag a poor, helpless girl, u years Of
age. a third time before a staring throng
TO tell her revolving tale. The story OF
the lynching Is too well known.
After dealing scathingly with the Anne
liza case. DR. Lafferty opens his criticism
upon the courts by saying:
"A system Of judicature that furnishes
new trials 10 condemned culprits, guilty
OF enormous and abhorrent crimes, on a
trihing informality, IS curse. 1t Is the
court and the code that breed mobs ana
lynching. TO the plain citizen the new
trials' granted to notorious criminals
mean that our systenL protects, not pun
ishes. offenders. The outcry against mob
law by men who never raise n finger TO
abolish the abortions OF justice deserves
contempt"
Going back to the Amelia case the
Doctor exclaims: "How vicious Is court
practice which irritates our people.
abuses the innate sense OF justice,
matches mobs, and instigates lynching'
The editorial narrates that In prirni-
tive state of society the next Of kin
avenged n wrong like this. but civ.l IA
tion advanced and men agreed TO foreso
this personal infiiction under the express
condition th1t the state would su'eiF,
promptly. and justly mete out punish
meut to such criminals. IL treats the
court as the agent OF society, asserts that
laxity or failure 10 keep It's compact
breeds execution of offenders by the peo-
pie
Dr. Lafferty. in concluding his edito-
rial speaks Of the recent Roanoke trou-
bIa and the lynchng of the negro Smith.
declaring that it is the certainty of pun
ishment and not the severity OF II that
deters from crime, and that new trials
decrced upon insignificant pretcXts aug
meut crime.

Correspondence OF the Dispatch)
MONTERREY, VA. October THE Cir
cult Court OF Highland county Judge
william Mclaughlin presiding, has just
ended Most Of the chancery cases were
continued, and no common-law cases were
tried. Among the lawyers from dis
tance IN attendance were j. T. McAllster
and John W Stephenson. OF Warm
Springs, and i. q. ~ Brakeman, or
Franklin. W. Va.
That our candidates for the Senate and
House-Jones and WithrOw-will both
carry the county BY the usual hand
some majority. IS not subject Tor
doubt. but that personal canvass ought
10 be made is recognized "a needful
thing The Popullsts have little, If any,
strength in the upper and middle part OF
this county. but In the lower end OF this
and the upper end OF Bath there is a
tendency 10 disaffection. This IL tracabe
to the delay OF the leaders In the United
States Senate to push the repeal bill
through
So far there IS no candidate In the
field I'm this senatorial or representative
district for the Populists, and IL Is mot
likely that any will appear.
COUNTRY MAIL BOXES.
The Dispatchs idea Of a rural delivery
OF the mails from house 70 house Is pretty
fully carried out here. In front of nearly
every house along the mail routes
throughout the county and along the
Jacksons river may be seen the mall
boxes. from which Uncle Sans horse
back mail-carriers take letters for post
ing at the next office. and deposit mail
distributing from the one from which
they have come. The charges for the de-
livery falls on the people, who get the
benefit of it. and the revenues go TO the
carriers instead OF TO the government.
This helps IN some measure to compen,
safe for the miserable allowance which
these mail-carrers get, and Is doubtless
the controlling reason for their taking
the letters at all. Along some or the
routes 1t is not unusual for q carrier TO
get less than 81 n day for his services,
and then he has to furnish his own horse.
This comes from farming out the routes.
the contractor with the government get
ting a substantial difference between the
price he obtains and that which he pays
the carriers.
The corn crop varies in this county from
half a crop to almost three fourths OF
crop. The lateness OF the corn season
has delayed the farmers in getting in
their wheat crop.
CATTLE SHIPPED.
There have been some shipments OF
cattle from this county, and some good
sales, but most of the cattle are being
held, only those selling who are COM
PEELED 20 do so. As cattle-raIsing is
large industry here. and such low prices
prevailing as 10 effectual force the
farmers TO hold their stock, money Is
very scarce in this section, and col
lections difficult 10 make.
The county has made levy with a
view to building new and substantial
Jail. But the county authorities failed TO
make such a contract as would enable
them to pay In instalments, and so
new levy will have 10 be made 10 raise
all OF the money before beginning the
work.
