that the principle now being invoked by

of the transaction and has, thefeiore'
an interest TO see that it is fair through
out. and that the proceeds OF the SAFE are
exnended as the purchasers Of the bonds
are led to believe that they will be ex-
pended.

Indeed, If the Ohio courts follow the
wholesome doctrine laid down by the
New York court to its legitimate con-
clusion 1t will result finally in the trus-
tee in public securities that are sold IN
the open markets becoming practical
supervisors of the spending Of the money
which ought to be the case and when 1t
is once plainly established that the trus-
tee has the right to exercise this super
vision it will follow as a duty that 1t
shall be exercised. and this, in our judg-
ment, will be the most important and
beneficial step in judicial legislation that
has ever been taken. 1t viii result In
strong concerns like the Central Trust
Company, that are able to enforce re-
spect for their rights, being the sole

mates of the Institution.

A strawberry festival was given by
Mrs. Gill, the efficient superintendent OF
the Male Orphan Asylum. yesterday af-
ternoon at the grounds connected with

The following directors met at the office
of the Virginia State Insurance Company

BONANZA For DEALERS HERE.
Thousands OF Tons of Coal being Shipped
to New York.

The general coal strike, instead OF prov
ing damaging to the interests of the
coal men in Richmond, seems to have
been Of considerable advantage at this
time. Thousands OF tons of coal are
being shipped from Richmond TO New
York for the purpose of supplying the
ocean steamers. especially the English
vessels, with fuel during their voyages
across the waters. The strike In Penn
sylvania has reached such a point as
to render II impossible for the steamship
companies to secure from the Pennsyl-
vania mines the necessary amount OF
fuel, and Richmond coal dealers were
applied to for help during the trouble.
One of the largest coal dealers in this
city said yesterday that his company
had shipped many thousands OF tons Of
coal TO New York during the past week
for the use of the ocean steamers and
he was still working day and night to
fill the orders that came In. He has a
large force of hands at work loading the
cars. and has been KEEP, busy in trying
10 supply the demand. The thing came
at the very time Of all Others" said he.
most suitable 10 US. We had thousands
of tons Of coal piled up in the yards.
and were busily engaged hauling more.
| was wondering where I should put II
all when these big orders were received.
The steamship companies are paying us
a good deal more than we can get here.
and the profits are much larger So far
as l am personally concerned. the longer
the strike is on the better for me. Only
last Saturday we shipped $500 tons of
coal to New York. and have been send
Ing car loads daily for over week"

APPLIED FLECTRICITf.
Professor winston Closes the Course OF
Lectures.

Professor Charles H. Winston. Of Rich
mond College. delivered the sixth and last
lecture in the course on Applied Elec-
tricity" last night in the college chapel
There was quite a large audience In at
tendance. and the discourse. accompa-
MED by the explanations and illustra-
tive experiments Of the lecturer proved
highly interesting TO those present.
Professor Winston confined his remarks
to the Miscellaneous Uses OF Elec-
tricity." and after pointing out It's re-
markable versatility he explained It's use
in the household. as for door-bells. bur
glar-alarms. annunciators. clocks, sewing
machines and other motors. coffee-grind-
ers. cooking arrangements and the like
He then pointed out the various uses OF
electricity in war, such as for torpedoes.
search lights, gun-fring and gun-moving
apparatus, and also explained its many
uses In business. as the telephone. tele-
graph, elevators. printing presses and
other means Of utility.
Professor Winston showed the many
applications TO which electricity could be
put in the fields Of medicine and other
sciences. and pointed out some Of It's uses
in the world Of education. as. for exam
pie, the system Of electrical minis, which
are the most complete and exact in eX-
istence. and touched upon electrical
dreams. or ideals, such as making cleo
tricity direct without the use Of the steam
engine. If this should ever be realized

coming man" will be, not heat as now.
but electricity. The new force, practi-
cally not one hundred years old. will then
reign supreme, he said, until possibly
another new one may arise to supplant

The lecture was made doubly interest

that gave those present a more compre-
hensiye appreciation Of the mysterious
workings Of the strange force. and the
closest attention was given the speaker
This closed the series Of University EX-
tension lectures under the auspices OF

instructive and profitable to those who

THE CORRUPT "BOsSE," WILL BE
BEATEN IN THE END

Representative Pigott. of Connecticut,
who is a member of the National Demo
cratic Congressional Committee. says that
If Congress will pass the tariff bill the
Democratic party will not lose repre-
sentative from the New England States.
He means. Of course. bill that really
reforms the tariff, and not one like the
compromise" one that is a reform Dill
in name but a Mckinley protection bill
in substance.
When we had the votes of the people
In November, 1892, declaring overWheim-
" that it was their will the protective
duties of the Mckinley bill should be
repealed. and when we get evidences
of this sort that the views of the people
have not changed but that they are still
determined the principle of protection"
shall be stricken out of our Governments
polity, it is inexpresslbly exasperating to
see the Democratic party sold out TO the
monopolies by handful of BOSS" SEN
ators bent on effecting a swap by which
their votes are to be exchanged for money
contributions to their campaign funds
with which they may corrupt the electors
of the legislatures that are to re-elect
them.
These senatorial sales may possibly
defeat tariff reform in this Congress.
but they are not going to defeat tariff
reform. They are going to defeat the
corrupt senators who enter into the bar
gains, but tariff reform will remain a
living and a burning issue until every
vestige of that legislation which coerces
one American into paying tribute to
another American has been torn from
our statute book.
Tariff reform will come forward again
and will keep on coming forward until
the people force their senators and repre-
sentatives to obey their will and disso-
ciate this Government forever from the
ieea that II Is part of a Governments
functions 10 protect one set OF Amer
leans at the expense Of another set of
Americans. Our Government is founded
upon the idea that all men are equal
before the laws. and that the laws shall
bear equally upon all. To legislate so
that one set OF Americans must paw
another set of Americans two prices for
all that they buy in order that the latter
set Of Americans may make fortunes is
total negation of this idea, and is ty-
ranny pure and simple.
We repeat that the corrupt senator's
may beat tariff reform In this Congress.
but ii will come back and will never
cease its cry until that cry is needed.
