An EMINENT yiHGISIAN's WORTHY
ACT

When such a Nirginan as Judge Der
ryman Green consents 70 attend the
polls on election day and perform all
day long the tedious duties of a special
constable. Nifsiniaus who love their

hopes that the manhood and character

II is not The Times habit 10 discuss
persons under ordinary circumstances, but
We think this so notable an event that
we feel justified in departing from our
usual custom, because Judge Green is
one Of the best citizens that Virginia
ever had, ana his omiucncc amongst his
people might well have entitled him to
claim exemption from an arduous public
service Of this sort that younger men
would have been only too glad to relieve
him of

This announcement OF Judge Bergman
Green acting as special constable in
an election is most notable one, and
Is. we berleve, a harbngcr of better
things. All honor TO Judge Green.
IL Is also a matter of congratuation
that Judge Aiken. who, by unusual ac-
claim OF the bar. is one Of the ableSt
jurists in this State, has declared that

THE VIEWS OF SOME EMINENT
SOCIALISTS AND POPUIIsIs.

The New York Sun has been having
the various candidates for Congress I'm

views on the income tax The answers
OF sorpc of them are interesting at any
rate. Joseph Hildehrandt. Socialist labor
candidate H. the Sixth district would cx-
empt incomes Of $4,000 or less, and above
that amount would apply a graduated tax
up 10 &5D00. Upon all incomes OF 81 .O00 he
would impose a tax OF half the income
From s.. 900 he would increase the taxa
tion. John Magic, Socialist Labor candl-
date ia the Eighth district. would make
the present income tax much higher. He
would tax the manufacturer in ratio TO
the amount OF money he was making
from the labor of the men he employed.
Edward V. Wright Populist candidate
from the Fourteenth district, would tax
incomes so heavily that no man could
ever become worth so 10000, He would
make the tax IS per cent, IL necessary TO
that end.

DOCS IN THT CAPITOL SQUIRE.

As long as the frolicksome squirrels are
kept In the Capitol Square there will be
good reason for keeping out all dogs; but
the way to keep them out should be by
appropriate and permanent distractions,
and not by occasional missiles. II wlre
netting about three feet wide were
stretched on the inside Of the iron palings,
and light gates, similarly protected, we're
hung on the gateways, the incursions Of
the dogs would be either diminished or
stopped. This defence Of the squirrels
against the dogs would cost but little, and
the present inefficient and violent method
would be supplanted by one both encc-
tive and hi name.

the question of who should receive the

the Cherokee nation. The measure
is a far.reaching consequence to the
Cherokee people and to the border
merchants of Kansas, Arkansas,
Texas and Missouri, as the proceeds
of these bonds have been unavailable,
pending the action of congress and
the counts. AS Edwin d. Chadwick
and r. Il. Wilson q Co., of New York,
both claim their bids are the lawful
ones, and meanwhile the money and
bonds are tied up. Representative

today and succeeded in getting the
adverse report 1t will be drawn by
