The O'Ferrall Case.

As Il is now too late for special cleo
ton TO be held in the Seventh Congress
slonal District to choose on the It'll OF NO.
venber a successor to Colonel OFerral
we can discuss the questions involved III
the matter without subjecting ourselves
to the charge OF prejudicing the cause
either OF those persons who hold that
the Governor has the power TO order
special election IN such cases. or OF those
who hold that he has no such power.
Tho Federal Constitution. in Article l.,
section 2. provides that when vacancies
happen in the representation from any
state the executive authority thereof shall
issue writs OF election to fill such vacan-
cies. But in Article l.. section 4, 1t pro-
vides that the times. places. and manner
Of holding elections for Senator'S and Rep
resentatives shall be prescribed in each
State by the Legislature thereof; but that
Congress may make or alter such laws
Under this provision Congress has passed
a law prescribing the times and manner
Of electing senator's to fiji vacancies I'm
the United States Senate. IT follows ne
cessarily that If the law is constitutional,
Congress ought also to pass a law pre-
scribing the times when elections shall
take place 10 Ill vacancies in the lower
house OF Congress.
The United States law provides that
"whenever on the meeting of the Legis-
lature OF any Stata a vacancy exists in
the representation of such State in the
United States Senate the Legislature shall
proceed on the second Tuesday after
meeting and organization TO elect a per-
son to fill such vacancy" Congress had no
difficulty in fixing time for these cleo
tons TO I'll vacan cies in the United States
Senate. Nor would 1t have any difficulty
in fixing the time fer the election of mem
bers of the national House OF Representa-
tives. Such elections might be held on the
second Tuesday Tor any other certain day.
after the vacancy happened" Congress
has passed a law providing that the legis-
latures of the several State may provide
by law for filing vacancies in the national
House of Representatives. The Virginia
law as TO these vacancies merely provides
that the Governor may issue writs of cleo
ton to all such vacancies.
The question as TO whether Governor
Mckinney has the right to fix time fer
the election of members to I'LL vacancies In
the national House of Representatives de-
ponds upon whether the provisions Of the
Federal Constitution empowering the Leg
islature to prescribe the times for holding
congressional elections applies to vacan-
cies in the lower branch. Governors have
heretofore acted upon the assumption that
1t does not apply.

The Trouble as TO Depositors.

And the trouble would be removed at
at once IL depositoTs in the banks were
protected as note-holdefs are. There are
hundreds OF millions of dollars now lying
unproductive in old stockings, private
purses. strong boxes and wherever money
can be safely deposited. and these millions
Of dollars would forthwith be put into
tho channels OF TRADE and commensurate
Is. rsdeposlted in banks-if they could be
deposited there with the certainty that the
banks would pay every dollar entrusted
TO them. Try this remedy. and no other
Will be needed.-Richmond Dispatch.
We agree with the Dispatch as TO the
importance OF more fully protecting de-
postors. That IL an important matter,
and We hope our lawmakers win agree
upon feasible plan OF accomplishing II.
hut yet the editors OF the Dispatch
and all other fair-Tntnded persons must
acknowledge that the laws for protecting
depositors are as efiicacious now as tl~
ever were. and we argue. therefore, that
It was not the discovery OF the fact by
depositors that they are not absolutely
protected from loss that led to the late
panic.-Spirit Of the Valley.
The Spirit is right. The law or custom
as TO deposits is just what II has always
been. But 1t has always. from 1887 to 1893.
produced a panic whenever there was a
little furry in the noeey market 1t need
never DO so again II Congress will only
devise method OF making depositors as
confident of the safety OF their deposits as
the note-holders are as to the safety of
their notes. We agree with the Spirit
further. that the Sherman law ought not
TO have produced the results 1t did pro-
duce. and would not have produced them
but for Republican elamor. or capitalistic
elalnor, and the cry that these results
would follow. The law was thus dis
torted into such condition as to render
its repeal absolutely necessary.

which business other than that which
majority OF the Senate desired 10 proceed
with might come up. Such action on the
part OF the Senate lowers that body TO
the plane Upon which old Mr.. Dassett APP
pears when on the 4th Of March. on the
closing day OF any session Of the Senate
he turns back the hands OF the Senate
clock In order 10 enable that body 10 do
some legislation based upon the assunp-
tlon that the session has not yet expired.
This legislative fiction In based. In turn.
upon the assumption that the record OF
the Senate proceedings imports absolute
verify. and will never be questioned In
any coart. and 40 a fiction may be made
20 pass for a fact even In the courts OF
Justice. We do not know how long TINS
Bassett fiction and the fiction that legis-
latlve day may be protracted indefinitely
have been allowed TO pass unchallenged'
but IL IS a singular commentary upon
them 10 remind the public that In lSl' or
Whereabouts, that distinguished senator.
Lewis Cass. refused to vote after IL o'clocf
p. NJ. Of tie night on which the session
expired. and when asked how he knew
II was 70 o'clock. replied Indignantly
How do I know anything, sirT' The.
reader will infer-what was indeed the
faet-that at that time. the Sd OF March,
was held 10 expire at u o'clock OF the
night of that day, and the sth OF March
TO begin at that hour. Now, without any
good reason for the change. and only be-
cause It can be done under the operation
OF the legislative fiction now under con-
sideration, the 81 OF March Is held TO last
to u o'clock Of the 4th of March, and then
extended by the accommodating Bassett
as much longer as seems to be necessary
by the simple process OF turning back the
hands OF the Senate clock ia the presence
of not only the Senate. but the whole
world This fiction is not creditaole 10
the people whom we were about to style
the law-abiding people OF this country
but who better merit the title of law
breaking people.
We say. then. it is time not only to get
rid Of such rules as those OF the senate
rules which in effect provide for hlibuster-
ing. but also the custom or fiction OF ex-
tending or pretending TO extend legisla-
tive day, which cannot possibly last longer
than twenty four hours over ia hours.

Since the Muscovites first put foot upon

from the Roman populace than has
greeted the naval representatives OF the

nineteenth century OF the Christian Era,

Further. Mr.. Page would have boards OF

there would be fewer assaults by negroes

The article is we'll written. but really
presents no arguments that have not been

Undoubtedly the remedies he proposes
are worthy OF adoption. From them good
must come, but we also hope for much
from reform in our criminal laws The
people should be made TO understand that

culprits with a speed and certainty which
VIII afford no excuse for lynch-law. This

FoIIovtng is the statement IN the
American replied 70 by colonel OFerrah'
A telegram was received here this after
noon from Colonel O'Ferrall, the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor Oh
VIRGINIA asking his colleagues in
the House to use all their IN
auenca IN delay the final passage
OF the unconditional repeal bill until AFTER
tho election. Colonel O'Ferralrs entire OPP
nosition during this campaign comes from
the Populists, who, 1t Is reported. are
secretly aided, 1t Is said, by some OF
Senator Daniels friends. VINO see IN
O'Ferrall a possible. future candidate Tor

that the prospect of unconditional repeal
was having a pernicious erect on Colonei
O'Ferralrs chances The majority OF the
country voters in Virginia are free-silver
men. and Colonel O'Ferrall and his
friends have been counteracting this senti-
ment by assuring them that the Demo-
Gratis would never allow unconditional re-
peal 10 he passed, but would insist on a
compromise protecting silver. The news
that all compromise has been abandoned.
and that unconditional repeal Is sure OF
passage. has reached the country districts,
and the Democrats are at their wits end
for plausible explanation of their defeat
In Congress. The Populists have been
quick to take advantage OF the situation,
and, therefore. Colonel OFerrall tele-
graphs that unless the silver bill Is de-
layed he may be defeated.
