INCREASE OF PAY AND FREE TICKETS.

INCREASE OF PAY AND FREE TICKETS.
There are two things which, it APP
pears from the proceedings Of the Gen
eral Assembly, some of the members of
that body are striving of obtain-an
increase of their pay and free tickets Oh
the Railroads. 1t would not be wise to
increase the pay OF the members unless
there shall be corresponding reduc-
ton in the number of the members of
that body. We are inclined to the
opinion that it would be wise to in
crease the salaries and reduce the num-
Der of members. That would probably
improve the quality of the member
ship, and make the body, which is now
too large, more capable of expediting
business, and cost the State no more
than at present. If the Legislature
would move to attain that object it
would be recognized as not only pa5ri
otto but wise, and would, no doubt, re
ceive the appreciation of the people.
We would recommend our delegates
to offer a substitute of that character
for the bill offered by Mr.. Gibson of
Culpeper to increase the salaries of the
members. The people are not prepared
at this time to approve an increase of
the salaries unless the number of the
membership shall be reduced. They
are not willing to tax themselves more
than at present for the support of the
Legislature, bit would like to have the
quality improved, if possible.

The English BOgey is up Again.

The Baltimore San of Jan. 25th, has
an editorial article under the caption
above, from which we extract the con-
clusion as follows
Things that England does are
neither patriotic nor unpatriotic for
Americans to do, except as they tend
to the benefit or the injury of this
country. The republicans beg the
whole argument when they assume
that anything England mas must needs
be unwise or unpatriotic for America
to have also. The merits of the case
are not touched by that assumption.
| The test question is not whether
American wages are higher than Eng
| lish wages, but are English wages since
England has had a revenue tariff
higher or lower than when England
had a protective tariff. Mr.. Gladstone,
who ought to know, has declared that
they are higher by from so to 100 per
cent. We know, from the reports of
American consuls, republican cOnsuls,
too, that English wages are much
higher than the wages of the protec-
tive countries of Europe. We know
that highlands growth in manufac
lures, commerce, shipping and wealth
under free trade has been twice as
much in forty years as it was in the
whole previous century of protection.
We know-unless the official figures
quoted by nearly every republican
silverite in the recent debate in Con
gress were false-that England has be-
come the great creditor nation of the
world under free trade; that every
other country owes her money and is
paying her interest. We know that
her workingmen, in spite of their al
legged low wages, do not come here in
anything like the numbers that the
workingmen of highly protected Ger
many and Italy and Russia come here,
and that those of them that do come
here are much nearer our own type of
" orkingmen than the immigrants from
the tariff ridden parts OF Europe.
Mr. Gladstone, speaking at Leeds
some ten years ago, said that when
the protectionist navigation laws were
repealed in 1910 England's total ton
mage was less than 100000 tons, but
that in 1880 it was over Al 100000 tons
Then he told his English hearers that
as boy he used to see the river Mersey
crowded with American packets, and
'Americans We're deemed to be so
superior in shipbuilding and naviga
ton that they had four fifths of the
whole trade between the two countries
in their hands" What is the case
now? p asked the great English prime
minister. He answered truly that TO-
day England has the four fifths and
America only onetifth of that trade
Then he asked why that reversal had
taken place and said As long as
America adheres to the protective
system your (Englisb) commercial
primacy is secure. Nothing in the
world can wrest it from you while
America continues to fetter her own
strong hands and arms, and with those
fettered arms is content to compete
with you, who are free, in neutral
markets"
The truest American patriotism is to
drop the senseless rawlings of the alb
surd anglophobia affected by the pro-
tectionists, strike off few of the fet-
ters referred to by Mr.. Gladstone and
recover Americas old place as Eng
lands successful rival on all the seas
and in all the markets of the world"

Election in the 9Th Congressional Dis
trict

The convention to nominate candi-
date for Congress in the 18th District
was held in Harrisonburg last week,
and was in almost continuous session
from Tuesday till Thursday night.
which resulted in the nomination, on
the 73rd ballot, of Hon. S. s. Turner,
of Warren county, to fill the vacated
seat of Hon. G. L O'Ferrall. The chief
contest was between Hon. NJ. L. Wal
ton. of Shenandoah, Capt. Micajah
Woods, of Albemarle, and Hon. s. s..
Turner, of Warren-the other candi-
dates for nomination being Capt. A.
Moore, of Clarke, and Basil b. Gordon,
of Rappahannock.
The election took place yesterday,
when, there is no doubt, Mr.. Turner
was elected Mr.. E. D. Root, of Rock
ingham, announced himself an indie
pendent Republican candidate, not, as
we suppose, with any idea of being
elected, but with the overweening de-
sire to render himself conspicuous
We have never known a congressional
election to take place SO soon after a
nomination by convention.

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, June 25.-A fe-

today at his house. but owing to the
presence of mind of Private Secretary

MIR. Tibbotts had been to answer the

hair over her shoulders. She had a

She further said that the Democratic

and it was the duty of herself aud Gen.

general to help recover n large sum of
money due her, She gave the name of
Louiss Hudson. Mr.. Tibbotts asked her
to seat in the parlor and then tele-

Lyons, June 25.-The police have
succeeded in obtaining the following
information in regard to the move
ments Of the assassin Santo: After
leaving Italy he lived at different times
i'll Lausanne and Geneva, Switzerland,
and afterward in Lyons. From this
city he went to Cette. France, where
he spent the last year working as n
baker.
He reached Lyons at G o'clock Sun
day evening 1t is learned that hls
real surname is Cesario and his Chris
tian name San Hieronimo. He is 10
years of age. He was known to the
police OF Cette as q militant anar-
chist. He was sober and industrious
but taciturn in his manner He was a
great reader and outspoken only when
anarchist theories were discussed.
The police official who went to Cette
to trace the assassin, had an interview
with Madame Viala, who keeps the
baker shop in which the murderer
worked. She says Cesario left her
employ on Saturday, having given mp
his place on account of quarrel. He
received the money that was due him
and disappeared, He left box contain
ing his effects in his lodgings. THIS
the police opened, but found nothing
compromising the:ein Cessrio, it was
found, purchased the pOniard with
which he committed the murder, on
Friday This discovery gives rise to
the belief that his quarrel in the bakers
shop was merely pretext for leaving
Cette and coming to Lyons to fulfil the
murderous mission to which he was
assigned hy his associate anarchists.
ROME, June 25,-According to ad-
vices from Milan, Cesario. the assassin
of President Carnot was born at Motta
Viscone in Lombardy. He was cx-
PEELED from Milan in 1893 and took re-
iuge in Switzerland. Tue Italian po-
lice notified the Swiss and French au.

King Humbert today sent a tee-

at the same time my heart. The
queens grief is profound. Italy is
wounded not less than France. All
