The poaitlon OF the Richmond Dis
patch upon the Walton law II. TO use .
mild term, peculiar. The force OF pub
lie sentiment has been 90 strongly
agairst the manifest injustice OF the
Walton law that numbers Of prominent
Democrats and many Democratic papers
have insisted that II should be amended.
The Dispatch, however. combats the Idea
OF amending Il until after the elections
next spring and the elections next
fail.-The Spirit Of the Valley.
There Is only one way In which the
Walton law can be amended before the
General Assembly meets in regular b.
ennIal session in December. 1886, and
that Is by the two houses OF the Cen
eraI Assembly, convened In extra session
by the Governor.
We say again what we have said be-
fore, that for q first trial the Walton
law succeeded well on November sth.
Here In Richmond ell classes agree that
there never was o fairer or auieser cleo
ton. Our people had informed them
selves as TO the law. and very few pai-
lots were thrown out. We had three or
four boothS at each Fouhb VeeeS
our vote was rapidly polled. No fiilterate
voter who was sensible enough to call
upon the constable for help lost his vote.
1t was fair. square. decent, and orderly
election in Richmond. Our primary cleo
tons had introduced us to the Austria
lIan-ballot system. or at least TO the
official ballot. The country people wiz
learn to appreciate the system II they
are given the opportunity. AT any rate
at this time the Governor would hardly
be justified In converting the General As
sembly In extra session. II we give up
the Walton law or destroy Its value by
numerous amendments. what next7
Nothing that we can see but a constitu-
tional convention.

Loans Hereafter.

The Washington Post has the following
pointed remarks:
"Mr. Carlisle makes a strong plea TO
Congress for more ample and definite au-
thority with regard to the negotiation Of
loans. 1t Is an authority with which
every Secretary of the Treasury should
be invested, that he may be prepared at
all times to meet public emergencies,
and 10 see that the credit of the govern
ment suffers no impairment.
1T is agreed that the liberal construc-
ton which has been placed upon the
provisions OF the act OF 1870 is wholly
legitimate, and the subscriptions that
have been made to two loans are suf-
ficently satisfactory demonstration that
in the minds Of sagacious financiers no
question can arise as to the validity OF
the bonds which have been issued. The
law, however, compels an awkward and
inconvenient process of negotiation to
which no Secretary OF the Treasury. with
a wise and patriotic Congress to stand
by him, should be limited

Once In five years there has to be a
new assessment Of property for taxation,
and the time has now come around for
the new valuation OF Danville property.
For this important work the Council re-
commended and Judge Aiken selected
Mr.. Frank B. Gravely.
This appointment will give universal
satisfaction and the people may be sure
OF a fair and equitable assessment Of
their realty.-The Danville Register.
County and corporation Judges ought to
be very particular in making these APP
pointments They are places OF honor
to be sure; but they are places Of work
also--not sinecures. Men who know some
thing about valuing lands and buildings
ought TO be appointed. and though the
pay is email there are plenty OF COM
petent persons whose services are OBJ
tainable.

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 7. 1894.
M. oarlisle,s Views.

The Secretary OF the Treasury Is
man who mas a good reputation as a
6nancier. 1t used 70 be said when he was
An Congress that he was the best-in-
formed man In either house In regard to
tariffs and banks. He was In fact Sc
iectee by President Cleveland as q mem
Der OF his Cabinet because he was sup
posed 10 DC thoroughly familiar with the
principal subjects with which he wonid
have 10 deal as Cabinet officer. We DO
not know that Mr.. Carlisle as a Cabinet
pfaeer has in any manner lowered him
yelt in the estimation Of anybody. Indeed
we are confident that he has not done 80.
But whatever the general public may
think on this point, 1t may safely be
assumed that the bankers and other
fnanciers stin hold him in high esteem.
And II is fortunate for the country that
such a man does fiji the high office OF
Secretary of the Treasury. blundering
crank, full OF wild schemes, and looking
out for nothing but the welfare OF such
schemes might ruin the country. A dan
eerous Secretary would be any man like
some Of those who aspire to thinker the
currency"
Mr.. Carlisle styles the law of 1870 under
which he negotiated the fifty-million loans
ian ANTICIPATED law" Nobody can dispute
the truth OF that assertion. There may be
two opinions as to whether that law was
Intended to be construed as Mr. Carlisle
has construed it. but there cannot be
any doubt as TO the antiquity OF law
under which s per cent. bonds are sold
nv a country which could borrow as much
money as II might need at per cent. NO
wonder. then, that the Secretary. in the
interest OF government and people. re-
peats in 1894 the recommendation ne
made in 1898 that power be conferred
upon the Secretary Of the Treasury 10
negotiate loans at a lower rate OF In
ferest and for shorter term than are
now allowed. Let our lawmakers be
practical. They cannot deem 1t wise to
compel the Secretary OF the Treasury
70 repeat hereafter the experiment OF
borrowing money at s per cent. on
per cent. bond. He says himself in his
annual report that the policy Of limiting
the government to the sale OF an anti
uuated bond" bearing rate OF interest
wholly inconsistent with the existing
state Of public credit. and having e longer
time to run than Is apparently necessary
nj the date of its issue, cannot be JUS
tined upon any ground OF expectancy
or principle. This Is plain language. but
none too plain. Certainly the old law
Does not meet the requirements Of the
occasion. Equally certain is 1t that Con-
gress is responsible for very clumsy
method Of borrowing money. and VIII
continue to be blameworthy in this re-
spect as long as 1t allows the present
condition of things 10 continue.

Emperor williams speech opening the
German Reichstag would seem to leave no
doubt Of his determination to go back
to the Bismarckian policy in dealing with
socialism. Since the downfall OF Bis
marck. william has not only counte-
nanced but championed legislation that
was decidedly along the lines Of socialism
as understood in its higher and broader
sense. The result Of this course was to
rob German socialism of some OF It's
most utopian and threatening features.
1t is, therefore. not a matter OF surprise
that the wisdom Of the reactionary policy
outlined by the Emperor is seriously aues-
toned. Judging the future BY the past,
the conclusion is that German socialism
might be trusted to purge itself OF any
radical tendencies dangerous to the en-
pire.

Richmond, Manchester, Annexation.

The Dispatch Is glad to have the Man
chester Leader on its side in the matter
OF annexation, or rather consolidation OF
these two cities and their suburbs.
The Leader suggests that joint com
mission be appointed to carry the scheme
into effect; that that clty's taxes be
not raised for some years. and that the
revenues derived from Manchester be
spent meanwhile in that territory-points
on which we could doubtless agree.
AS to the appointment of commits
sion. we believe that that will be done in
good time. The people need but to be
informed as to the benefits Of annexation
to make them give their approval to the
idea. And with the Dispatch and the
Leader united in the work. it will not
be very long before the people Of both
cities are fully informed.
If Norfolk and Portsmouth and their
suburbs are consolidated into one munich
pality, as Is now proposed, and Richmond
folds her hands and sits stu, Richmond
may not be able hereafter TO call her
self the largest city in Virginia.

The Appomattox signers.

The Post Office Department insists that
very few OF the patrons Of old Appomat-
tox post-ofiice have demonstrated against
the name of surrender" Our informa-
lion IL different
II may be. however. that in the petition
sent to the department asking that the
Did name be restored care was not
taken to separate the names Of signers
who are patrons Of the office from the
names Of slgners who are patrons or
pther offices In the county.
The Post-ofice Department has been
unremitting In its efforts to throw upon
the patrons OF old Appomattox the re-
sponsibility for the change. and We have
seen many newspaper articles condemning
those people. II Is time. therefore. that
these patrons were putting the facts be-
fore the world. They ought to state their
position so that it can never be misunder-
stood or questioned hereafter. They
ought not to be willing TO endure an OPP
probrium which they do not deserve.
With all the people OF Appomattox In
favor OF the restoration OF the old name,
with all the Senators and Representatives
In Congress from Virginia ready to help
these people. and with the newspaper
press, and with the veteran associations
OF both armies a unit for the same good
cause, II will be strange indeed II Messrs.
Bissell and Maxwell should be able 10
Withstand the demand for the undoing
Of the wrong perpetrated upon old APP
pomattox.
The Washington Post Of yesterday has
the following editorial on this subject;
We perceive with sorrow and amaze
fnent that the Post-Office Department is
determined 10 consummate the blunder
Involved In changing the post-office name
OF Appomattox 20 that of Surrender. IL is
change which the people most interested
unanimously oppose and deplore: II Is =
change not at all necessary from any
conceivable point OF view; IL Is 8 change
obnoxious to propriety and good taste.
We do not believe that the most furious
OF the professional Union veterans-Fair-
child or Foraker. or any OF the rest
would insist upon II, for, with all their
nonsense In politics. Fairchild and Fora
ker were nghting men IN war times, and
lighting men do not seek the humiliation
OF those over whom they have triumphed
"a iaif neiu. Inc Fo3t-Omce Department,
however. has decreed that tho change
must be made and. for the present at
least, We suppose the change win stand.
We repeat, nevertheless. that the decision
hstohishes and grieyes US.
The Richmond Dispatch Is quite right

.ox should keep up the movement Of pro-

Quay and Sugar.

It is quite amusing to find Mr.. Quay,
Of Pennsylvania. posing in the Senate as
the organ Of the Democratic party on
the sugar-tariff question. He seems to be
fond Of getting out Of gear, as he has in
times past posed as silverite, though a
leading Republican. He claims that he is
anxious to prove to the country that the
Democrats in the United States Senate
do not really desire to amend the sugar
tariff as they profess to desire to amend
the same. But the pop-gun bills. among
which we must include Mr.. Quay's amend
ment. are all "done for" Let them rest
