Three Banks Fail.

NASHVILLE, March 27.-The
Bank of Commerce made An as.
signment this morning, naming
John T. Lellyett As assignee. This
action was precipitated by a general
apprehension of a run on the bank,
which the officers believed would
be made. The deposits were not
large, aggregating only 1000
$4,000 of which was small de.
posits, ranging from SIS upward in
the savings department. The
President of the bank, j. h. Var
brough, is not in the city. Mr.. j.
N. Brooks, cashier, said the suse
pension was due mainly to the fail
ure of certain parties who are
largely indebted to the bank to
meet their obligations. Brooks
declined to state who the parties
were.
The city is in a state of panic
and the streets are filled with
hundreds of excited citizens. In
addition to the failure of the Com.
mercial National Bank on Satur-
dav two more banks closed their
doors this morning. They are the
Mechanics Savings Bank with a
capital of $500, 900 and the Bank
of Commerce with q capital OF
$3.50, 600. The greatest uneasiness
prevails in financial circles, as it is
expected two other banks will be
compelled to shut down. Three
million dollars are involved in the
failure Of the three banks mems
toned above, and at least a dozen
small banks in adjacent towns are
in temporary financial straits.

the Panama affairs to~day decided
against the motion of M. Mauian,
Socialist Deputy for the Seine, in
favor of extending the powers OF
the commission. Maujan, upon
hearing the decision, forthwith
resigned his place on the commit

A Court Decision Against Strikers.

New ORLEANS, March 3d.
Judge Billings, in the United
States court to-day, rendered an
opinion in the suit Of the Govern
ment against the Amalgamated
council and the officers of the vars
ious labor organizations which
ordered the general strike in Novs
ember last. An injunction against
the organizations was asked for
under the act of Congress prohib-
ting combinations in restraint of
trade. In an elaborate opinion
the court sets aside every claim OF
the defendants and declares that
the acts Of the Amslgamated coun~
oil and officers of the union were
unlawful in ordering a general
strike, and that the merchants are
entitled to the injunction and other
relief. The decision discusses
fully the rights of labor unions
and is far reaching in it's effects
As a result of the decision crime
inal prosecutions against the des
PENDANTS would probably lie, bnt it
is not yet known whether the
United States authorities will pros
coed against the alleged labor
leaders.

Virriria Pnlitice.

The great number Of important places
70 be filled by the votes of the members
of the two houses a. tho next session OF
the General Assembly warrants the be-
lief that an unusual number of men OF
note will consent TO enter their names as
legislative candidates tins year In order
70 be able TO serve friends when the atore-
said elections come of. So we expect TO
zee more men of distinction in the Senate
and in the House here in December than
have been assembled under similar circum-
stances since 1859.
The pay Of members is inadequate and
should ue raised. 1t is only about - a
day for ninety days session. OF old 1t
was sc per day for an unlimited session.
The reduction was made when the Com
monwealth was ia great financial straits,
but now that we are getting into more
comfortable condition mOnetarily steps
should be taken looking to restoration Of
the old rate of pay. Whoever becomes a
legislative candidate has to spend con-
siderable sums of money in his canvass
il elected his absence from his home and
business entails upon him II loss. and to
live here in Richmond in proper style costs
vast deal more than country people
generally imagine. Virginia ought to call
into her Legislative service the very best
men that she has. and she ought to pay
them fairly.

MIR. Harrlty's Circular.

Tho completion OF Mr.. CLEvrLASD's
Cabinet ana the prompt announcement OF
the names Of its members leaves little else
open for discussion with respect 10 the IN
coming administration more important
than whether there will be an extra ses-
sion Of Congress or not.
A publication in the Washington Post OF
yesterday seems 10 have "a bearing on the
subject. It is copy of circular-letter
said TO have been sent ont by Mr.. HAEBI-
TY 10 confidential friends with the view of
learning, through them. how the unre-
corded members of the new House stand
on the question Of repeating the SHERMAN
act.
Including the Democrats who were not
recorded on the ANDRgW-CArE bill on Feb
Yuary 9th and the Democrats who are
members OF the new House but not OF
this House, there are ninety members OF
our party who are To be interviewed as 20
their attitude towards the repeal OF the
silyer-purehase act.
The Virginia members about whom this
information is sought are Messrs. TYLEB,
SWANSON. MEREDITH. and MARSHALL. Tho
North Carolina members are Messrs.
BRANCH. WOODWARD. ALEXANDER, and Bow
ER. Messrs. TYLER. SWANSON. and MAR
aALL are all new members; Mr.. MEREDITH
has recently passed through a severe ILL
moss and was probably absent when the
vote on ordering the previous question on
tho ANDsEw- GATE bill was taken. Messrs.
WooDwARD and BowER, of the North Caro-
lima delegation. are new members.
II cannot of course, be asserted with
positiveness that Mr. HAEEITY is gathering
the data fer Mr.. CLEVELAND. but the pro-
liability Is that that is his purpose. Mr..
CLEVELAND. of course. wants to act adj
visedly and hence would like to know
whether repeal could be secured by call
ing Congress into extra session.

Water-MeterS.

We have heretofore repeatedly said that
the City Council would have either to
provide additional wster-works or require
the takers of water to use meters. But 1t
Is possible that it would be better, for the
present at least. TO provide that each
water -taker should have free of cost so
many gallons per day-say three or four
or more gallons for each member of the
family. Under this arrangement not 20O.-
900 gallons per day would be used. The
reservoir holds 4O,OOO,O 900 gallons of water
when full. II will be- seen that the con-
sumption under the new system for family
use would be small. whilst the factories,
stables, &C.. which use so much water.
would pay for all they used and would
pay for no more. This plan Of promoting
cleanliness by allowing each family free
of cost Except what the family pays

culinary and other purposes has, we think.

The Automatic Car-Couplipg Bill.

The Automatic Car-CouDling Bill.
The reader will be able to guess at the
nature Of the automatic car-coupling bill
If he will just read its opening section,
which is as follows:
"1hat from and after the LIST day OF January,
1898, II shall DO unlawful for any common
carrier engaged In interstate commerce by rail-
road 70 use on its line any locomotive engine In
moving interstate trafic not equipped with a

with power or train brakes that tho engineer on
the locomotive drawing such train can control
Its speed without requiring brakemcn to use the
common mandrake for that purpose"
This bill has called forth in Congress
able speeches both for and against 1t.
Both the Democratic and the Republican
national platforms of last year demand
some measure for the protection Of the
lives of railroad employees.

No Danger.

hoped the next administration will not
consider foreign war as necessary to tho
harmony Of the Democratic party.
The Democratic party is the party that
annexed Florida, Louisiana. and Texas
and proposes TO annex Hawaii. But there
Is no reason for supposing that the Demo-
cratic party needs-as the Commercial by
implication says 1t needs-a foreign war in
order to the perpetustion of Its rule. The
southern people are as loyal to the Union
and the Constitution as the northern peo-
pie. but the latter do not seem to realize
tho fact. A war against foreign nation
participated in by the southern people
would close forever the mouths Of the
bioody-shirt brigade. Perhaps this is the
reason why our Cincinnati contemporary
10 much fears war.

What the Children Need.

There are many persons VINO thlnK IL
would be an easy matter to write an ac-

should like to see some of these try their
prentice hands. Let them make test OF
their productive powers by writing one
chapter, and let that chapter be an expla-
nation of the causes of the war.
1t should be brief--say 1900 words-and
SO simple that any child could understand
and memorize it, and yet so fortified with
facts at all points that it would be perfectly
unassailable by honest critics.
The man or woman who can write such
a chapter IN good. limpid English. which
will fix the attention of youth and teach
true history. can be relied upon to write
all the other chapters with ease. Law
terms. pompous language, citations of
authorities. and tedious argument won't
do. Indeed, as we have said before, the
writer who succeeds in this direction must
consult the children. Meanwhile. how
