A FADING DOCK EFT.

After the Virginia boom of 1S90-91 shut
down, it was predicted that the courts of
the State would be busy for long years with
law suits growing out of it. From the
amount OF litigation begun by the compa-
MES not long after the collapse, it rather
looked asi the prediction would be verified.
But the point raised by the defendant
stockholders, ard sustained by Judge Nc
Laughln, that the lottery feature of lot
drawing in the companies throws them out
OF court, has virtually put an end to the
bulk Of the litigation. AS this is a blade
that viii cut both ways, and win in turn
non-suit those litigants who are trying to
recover money paid to the companies-no
man who has invested in an illegal scheme
being able to recover under the law-it will
take out Of court a great part Of the rest of
the litigation. So the heavy docket fore
told after the collapse seems to BE- lapidly
fading away.

POLITICAL NOTES.

The result Of the election in Norfolk
| next Thursday is enyeloped in a good deal
of fog. The committee Of arbitration, OF
citizens of both factions of the Democracy
appointed by State Chairman Ellyson, met
once and adjourned sine die without an effort
to patch up things. A Norfolk correspon-
dent of the Richmond Times says the
PTohibitionist are spending between $50,
0C0 and $4,000, and claim the city; the
machine Democrats are spending $4,000 to
$4,000, and claim the city 10y 1000 major
ity. The white Republicans are siding
with the Prohibitionists, while the bulk of
the colored Republicans are making money
out Of both sides.
At their meeting in Woodstock the other
day. the Shenandoah Democrats adopted
the following. among other plain talking
resolutions:
WHEREAS The will Of large majority of
the people of the United States, expressed at
the election OF 1892 and later embodied in the
Wilson tariff bill, which passed the House
months ago, the passage Of which is now en-
dangered in the United States Senate by a
Republicans, under the leadership of David
b. Hill, of New York. whose obstructive ac-
ton is tratorous to the Democratic party,
and false to the principles proclaimed by
them in the past therefore,
Res0toed, That we protest against the IN
warranted and unprecedented conduct of the
Democratic Senators above referred to, and
that we insist upon the immediate passage of
the Wilson taritf-bill by the Senate, in order
that the people may be relieved from the
burdens imposed upon them by the iniquitou S
McKinley tariff law.

Youmust know it takes great deal of pub

howl would come up from all England if the
government was called upon to foot the bills
for the burial of deceased member of the
House OF Lords. A Senator who dies must
like an Egyptian king, be embalmed at an
expense ranging from fifty to hundred dol
lars. He must have a casket to cost $3.50; kid
gloves in quantities must be provided; atten
dants and hangers-on of various kinds are
paid per diem from the time the breath
leaves his body until he is put in the ground
Carriages must be provided for all who may
wish to ride. If he is to he taken home, Pull
man cars must be had for the funeral party al
an expense of one or two thousand dollars OIL
more. 1t matters not, as the cost is to be loaded
upon the broad back of Uncle Sam. Meals and
lunches for the trip, with the liquors to wash
them down, run up to hundreds more. The
government is oven called upon to pay

The New Law for the Extra Term
OF Courts.

From the Lynehbulg Advance, May 1lfh.
The INDICATOR Ia right. emphatically
right, Tho laws delay has al along been the
chief excuse for lynebing. There Is scarcely
man IN the State who would not prefera legal
trial and execution to the lnwless punishment
OF Il criminal. Once let IL be made certain
that u speedy trial will follow the commits
sion of crime or the arrest Of the criminal and
lynchng In this State viii become thing Of
the past Let the judge be empowered to hold ~
special term of his court when the emergency
requires and the people will be content to
leave the legal authorities TO deal with the
criminal. The experience of Staunton justi-
fes this belief. The passage of such a law
would be relief to the whole community and
would remove reproach from the Common
wealth. 1t is our deliberate opinion that a
legal execution according to the forms of the
law would have more potent effect in deter
ring from crime than violent death at the
hands of a furious mob. Let us preserve our
civilization, our reputation as law abiding
community, and at the same time protect our
women by the most effective means, the
prompt and rigid enforcement of law.

Low Prices Of Fifty Years Ago.

A Culpeper correspondent Of the Freder-

old sale book of gentleman who died in
Madison county in 1913, to show that the pres
ent depression in the prices of farm products
is not the first that has occurred in this coun-
try. The property referred to was sold on
twelve months time, and brought the follow
ing prices: Horses sold at from $40 to $40
per head, colts from $40 to Sl4. COWS and
calves, So; without calves from 81 to IS; two
and three year old cattle, from S6 to Sl3; year
lings, from 81 to $3.50; calves, from 75c. to

EXE1MPTING CHURCH PROPERTY
EpnNf ia AYrT2N


The exemption of church property from
taxation is being discussed by two OF our
Richmond contemporaries Dispatch in
the affirmative and the State in the mega
tive. 1t seems to us that with all it's abil-
ity our friend of the Dispatch will hardly
be able to sustain its contention that
church property should be exempt. We
suspect that if, in this republican country
where the law holds church and State
to be absolutely separate, the question of
taxing church property were submitted to
church members, a very large majority of
them would vote for it. There is all over
the country untaxed property Of great
value owned by churches and other relig-
ious corporations that is source of in
come, and which exists in rivalry with 9TH
Ell property owned by private citizens,
which is taxed. The same is true of large
holdings owned by secret societies which
are exempted On the ground Of the charita
bic feature in these societies.
The taxing power of the State should, it
seems to us, be exercised impartially on
all subjects. Combinations of men to
worship after the manner of their own con-
science, should owe the government moth
ing in the way of favors, and we believe
that is about the feeling Of all Americans
if the matter could be tested There is no
good reason that a church which pays every
other bill should not also pay its taxes. The
loss of the taxes to the State is not rui-
nous. but the loss of independence to the
church is a serious matter. The Com
monwealth should not even foster any chart
table association of a UNCONVENTIONAL char
acter, not even in kindness lay its hand OH
church matters. The hand that assumes
the right to caress, will be harder to resist
when it shall have made up its mind to
deal blow. This is young country yet
and there is much in its future undreamed
of now.
