The Prospect of Repeal.

Mr.. SwansOns perseverance I'm what he
esteems a good cause Is commendable.
His motto is
"Never give up. II is wiser and better
Always to hope than once tn despair"
Mr.. Swanson's new scheme Of State
banking will be hedged about In such
manner by congressional action and Fede-
raj control of the new banks that il
Is by no means the monster which It
seemed TO be when it was supposed 10
be framed upon the plan of doing away
altogether with national control OF the
banks.
According to Mr.. Swanson's figures, as
these appeared In the Dispatch OF yes,
terday the following Is the prospect: In
the House OF Representatives only III
Democrats out of 2lS favor unconditional
repeal. That leaves % Democratic mega
tive votes. II requires i79 members TO
constitute a majority of the body. Again
There are 12i Republicans in the House
who will vote against repeal. That IS
substantially all of them will so vote
And as l2i added TO 81 will make 22l mega.
tive votes, We do not exactly understand
how the 10 per cent. tax is to be abolished
However. we repeat. Federal control
converts State banks into national banks
If Mr.. Swanson gives us this control We
| shall not have SO much to complain or

Why Gold Goes Abroad.

We have heretofore reminded our
re aders that the gold which goes from
this country to Europe is not sent
abroad for nothing nor for "fun," but
TO supply real demand for 1t. Wheat,
cotton. or tobacco would do just as
well If there were demand for wheat,
cotton. and tobacco. The Atlanta Con-
sttution enforces the same point in the
following convincing paragraph:
1.-THE impression that the Eastern press
leaves on its readers is that when gold
goes out, those who send II out get
nothing for II. We are led to infer that
Lazzard, Hogenbak, 1kyhammer Co.
take their own money. buy the gold
here, and then send 1t abroad and give
IL away-the result being that this coun-
try is just that much out of pocket for
every dollar that goes abroad. Some
very well-known business men enter
tain this view. and protest against all
such transactions with fiery vehemence.
Those "well-known business men"
must lie awake at night studying f.
nancial questions.

The Nicaragua Canal-Again.

Persons who raise objections TO the
n,onosition TO extend the aid OF INC
Tinted States Government to the Nica-
ragua-canal scheme run counter TO '"e
recommendations Of both the Republican
and the Democratic National conVeh'ohS
of 1892 Therefore, MIR. Morgan OF Ala
hama Is by no means to be censurei
for returning TO his own State to address
rext week the birmingham convention
in advocacy Of that important PROJECT
When a scheme is advocated by such
southern papers as the Atlanta Coisu-
tuition and such northern papers as 'he
Chicago Tribune, 1t may be safely as
sumed that II is a scheme which deserves
70 be called national and 10 receive me
countensnce and support of all good ciu-
Gems in every section Of the Union. Inc
National Grain Congress in session IN
Wichita. Kan, declared on "Wednesday
in favor Of the absolute control or Inc
Nicaragua canal by the United States
Government
The Democratic National Convention or
1899 inserted the following plank In It's
platform:
For PURPOSES OF national defence and
the promotion of commerce between the
States, we recognize the early Sonstruc-
ton Of the Nicaragua canal and its pro-
lection against foreign control as Of great
Importance to the United States"
The Republican National Convention OF
1892 inserted the following plank in its
platform:
'"The construction OF the Nicaragua
canal is Of the highest importance 10 the
American people both as a measure OF
national defence and to build up and
maintain American commerce. and IL
should be controlled by the United
States Government"
These are not ambiguous declarations.
but pledge both the great parties of the
country TO the support of the Nicaragua
canal scheme The cost will be wel-nigh
or quite a hundred millions OF dollars to
the United States Government, but the
project is so meritorious that even this
large outlay will be promptly repaid, il
not in actual cash, certainly in the bene-
fi,s which are to result to this country.
The Atlanta Constitution says that the
proposed canal must De Dullt with our
capital, and controlled by our govern
ment, or else Europe will step in and
take charge Of the whole business. Uncle
Sam cannot afford TO have this great
highway controlled by a foreign power.
1t must be ours. and We must put up the
money and push IL through. We quote
our Atlanta contemporary, as follows:
The South is specially interested. II
viii give US n short route to China and
all the Asiat!c countries. and will enrich
our cotton producers and manufacturers
The southern congressman should unani.
mously favor the enterprise"
A northern congressman might be ex-
cused for bouncing upon this canal
scheme. but not southern congressman.
However. the scheme Is national one,
ana commends itself to the approval of
true patriots OF every section OF the
Union. We close with compact sen.
tence from the Chicago Tribune:
From every point OF vlew-Hnancial,
commercial. national. and International
IL The duty OF Congress TO lend its sane
non 10 Federal aid In the construction
ana completion Of this great work."

Mr.. Jarvis was born In CurritucK

Randolph Macon College. In this state
He served with distinction In the Con-
federate army as lieutenant and captain
until disabled by wounds. In 1860 ne was
elected n member OF the Stale Consti'u-
tional Convention, and. in connection Win
the president OF that body, was able 70
render his native State slgnally excellent
service In saving ii from the grasp OF
the pet-baggers. He was then a mer-

and readily acquired a good practice'
was honored with various offices. and IN
1870 was made Speaker OF the North
Carolina House. In 1875 he was again
made a member Of n constitutional con-
vention. In 1879 ne became Governor. In
1855 he was made United States Minister
10 Brazil where he remained until Mr.
Cleveland went out of office.
Mr.. Jarvis has distinguished himself in
all the offices he has held. and we expect
him 10 take high rank In the United
States Senate. He is a straight-out DEM
ocrat, and is In thorough sympathy with
his people, and, better than all. he Is
man Of high character-a thoroughly
honest, straightforward. sincere man.

The Virginia Rule.

1t was John Randolph Tucker. OF Vir-
ginia, who proposed In the House OF Re-
representatives. twelve years ago that a
rule TO count quorum should be adopted.
But the idea did not originate with him;
he merely proposed TO transplant into the
House a rule that had obtained In the
Virginia Legislature from time immemo-
rial. The system is not Reeds. or Hilrs.
or Springers, or fuckers. Nobody
seems TO know precisely who originated
it.-Savannah News.
We have repeatedly during the last
last five years reminded the members Of
Congress that the rules OF the Virginia
House Of Delegates provide now, as they
have for many years provided. for count
ing In the negative 10 make up quorum
the vote Of any member who is present
and fails to vote.

The people Of Baltimore have become
thoroughly aroused on the subject OF
street paving. The form OF all ordinances
for sheet-asphalt paving In Baltimore
states that the paving is to be done with
asphalt taken from the lake In the Island
Of Trinidad. The Sun says that the Bar
Der Company enjoys the exclusive right
to mine the asphalt from this lake. and
that while the ordinances for sheet AS
phalt paving say that the contract shall
be awarded to the lowest bidder, the pro-
vision calling for one particular kind Of
asphalt limits the bidding to the owner
OF that particular kind. Hence complaint
and Indignation.
