r,,. GAMBLER. Plead Guilty.

7, strikes US that the Potomac-rlVer
gamblers. who were tried at Alexandra
on Monday, got off with very light pun
ishment. considering how long ana no"
6agrantly they had set at deiance the
laws OF the Commonwealth. however
Judge Chichester Is much better iniorheu
than we could possibly be as to the merits
or the case. and he has always been true
"a his duty in dealing with the powerful
league of aw-breakers who have oeeh
operatjng on the Virginia shore OF the TO
tomac We dare say that these prisoners
who were brought TO the bar OF the court
through the efforts OF Governor OFerrali,
and who pleaded guilty" will not soon
offend again. They know now that they
cannot violate our laws with impuni'y.
They know, as the Maryland oyster
pirates know. that nothing is left to them
but to keep out Of Virginia, or respect
our laws.
Nevertheless. we would have the Legs
lature deal with this question for all
time. Washington is already great
city. and is destined TO grow to vast
proportions. 1t will always have It's
share of thieves and blacklegs. No great
city is without them. and there are par
tjcular reasons why they should ma
Washington an especially good feeding
ground. AS often as they are driven from
Washington they will seek the Virginia
shore, there TO continue their business,
unless we take measures to prevent them.
So the Legislature might as well take all
OF these facts into consideration, and pass
such laws as will make 1t dangerous for
such criminals TO seek to establish them
selves In Alexandria county. That county
is small. and is unable TO maintain
large police force. and unless special State
aid Is given IL, as in the recent cases, 1t
cannot hope to cope with the money and
men of the invaders. 1t Is. therefore, TO
be hoped that the Legislature will devise
measures TO fortify the Virginia shore
near Washington against the inroads OF
these criminal classes. No matter what
the expense may belt canno; be great
Virginia ought to make 1t perfectly plain
to the Neutrality-suspicious. that she has the
power and means to exercise 1t to sup
press all disorder and violations OF law
in the county of Alexandria.

The Nicaragua Canal.

The commission appointed by the Presi-
dent last spring TO investigate ana re-
MORT on the feasibility end cost OF the
CONSTRUCTION of the Nicaragua canal has,
as we stated yesterday, just reported Inc
results OF their labors to Air. Cleveland
This report is not ut AL partial 10 the
scheme. but. on the contrary. II tells the
President that the commission THINKS the
COMA, cannot be constructed for the sum
estimated to be sufficient hy the MICA
ragua Canal Company. The difefehce
is very great The canal company hxes
the cost at SC9. 100000, and little more.
The commission fixes the cost at over
xts. o0Oc 600. These figures seem TO indi-
cafe that the commission was not and Is
not over-frlendly TO the canai schehe'
ANYHOW, the commission RECOMMENDS
that $4,000 be appropriated to the Worh
of making physical and Typographical eN-
au,na,lons This recommendation means
another great waste of time.
Notwithstanding the unfavorable report
of the Presidents commission, the MICH
racua canaI-scheme will not perish. AS

try will finish IL. II is scheme "h'cn

with sufficient capital. no doubt eN-
lists as to the possibility Of completion.
"Rv the control Of such canal the
United States would rise to position
of pre-eminent Importance among the
great Powers of the world. They would
hold the key to the gate OF the major
part of the commerce OF other nations.
and the people of the Atlantic and Pa
cinc coasts would be enabled to trade
with each other by water. As an aid 10
national defence in time of war the
canal would be of inestimable value
LET II be national undertaking. and
when il is finished there will be national
benefit. 1t will stimulate industry and
promote our commercial interests with
the Asiatic Powers. whose trade is now
largely lost to us by reason OF the ex-
pense incident TO carrying goods across
the continent
There Is no reason 10 fear a want OF
success. Given the money. and canal
can be constructed whenever one may be
needed. Let us hope that the President,
as well as Congress. will turn a favorable
ear 10 the Nicaragua scheme.

Another Scheme.

Mr.. Carlisle has sent out new
scheme for the prevention OF the de-
pietion of the Treasury. as we explained
fully In our last issue. The New York
Journal of Commerce also has scheme.
The Journal is recognized as good au-
thority in Wall street. Consequently We
RAY learn from IL how this question Is
regarded by the expert financiers OF New
York. and SO we quote from that paper
as follows:
"Among practical bankers few enter
tain any doubt that If the Treasury were
10 return 10 the settlement of its debtor
balances at the clearing house In gold.
ana tho banks were 10 mako their mu-
tual settlements in that form OF money,
IL would be entirely feasible for the
banks TO pay out gold for cusfoms-duties
and to. supply 1t from their own vaults
for export: which is all the remedy need
ed
Once more:
Clearing house banks have now $780,
O0o.Ooo of specie. That sum Is 900
above the average holdings for the last
twenty-one years; but I, H. less than the
anount held during recent years. III the
stock could be increased by S20.ooQ 900,
we do not doubt that average banking
opirion wound concede that the banks
would then be In safe position for the
resumption OF god payments. Can that
000o,0o0 be procured? According to the
last report of the banks 10 the Comp
troler OF the Currency. the national
banks of the United States held at the
end OF September sl%.000000 of specie.
which means that. outside New York,
the national banks alone hold some $780,
10000. Is 1t probable that the New York
banks. undertaking measure OF such
vital importance TO the banking interests
OF the whole nation. would fail TO pro-
cure from their correspondents and
through express appear, s2o,ooo,ooo of this
SEQ, .o00?''
The Journal makes the following en-
couraging statement:
f'The case. viewed strictly and in It's
immediate bearings. is simply one OF
voluntary and non-necessitated suspen-
sion Of gold payments. and consequently
the normal remedy Is 10 resume the pay
ment OF gold. which was originally sus-
pended by the arbitrary and really need
less action OF the Treasury We need
not here repeat the reasons on which
that conclusion has been urged: but the
more influential opinion appears to be
rapidly coming around TO that position %

The New York Herald and New York
World are both out i'm favor of Mr.
Cleveland for a third term. The Balti-
more Sun. which some months ago said
that Cleveland would not think OF any
such thing. and which was supposed TO
be friendly to Carlisle as our next presi-
dental nominee. now seems to be in
Ginning toward Cleveland. BY some II
is considered probable that Cleveland
will give an inkling Of his purposes in
his forthcoming message to Congress.
OF course. no one expects that he will
do more than drop hint as to his in
tention; but he might well do this-that

nothing on the subject In his mes

stir is being made by the other supposed
aspirants for the Democratic nomina-

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
At the risk of being charged with add
ing 10 the stuff and nonsense" that
has been written about the Walton cleo
tion-Iaw, | will venture the expression
of nv observation and experience OF the
system OF voting in Virginia for the last
fifty years.
Before the war conducted the election
at the precinct nearest me for many
years. Then'a book was opened for every
candidate. which book was furnished by
the Clerk of the County Court. and n
Clerk was appointed by the superlntend-
ent Of the election TO enter the voter r
name on the candidates special book.
ANY resident voter of the county could
vote AT any precinct in the county. ilst
of the registered voters OF the county
being furnished by the Clerk OF the Court
TO the superintendent aforesaid. There
was then no room for fraud; as the SUI
perintendent or any one else could see
that the name was entered as intended;
the names being numbered. At any time
of the day an exact statement OF the
polls could be given out. To be sure. the
liability of a row or fight was much
greater then than now. as you then could
prove a lie on a man who promised to
vCie for YOU and didn't. But rows and
fights rarely occurred, and fraud was
never charged as being committed at the
election. as the candidate or his friends
watched the books and made il impossible

Upon representations made by Hoke
Smith, President Cleveland is having an
investigation made into the condition of
Lewis Redwine. a prisoner in the CO.
lumbus (O) penitentiary. where he is
confined for violation OF the Unfged States
banking-laws. Redwine was assistant
cashier of the Gate City Bank, of Atlanta,
and was defaulter for more than 10000.
on January IL. 1894. he was sentenced to
sx-years' Imprisonment: but. mean
while, his friend. Thomas Cobb Jackson,
had committed suicide. The Atlanta cor
respondent Of the New York World learns
that Redwine will soon be free man,
as the investigation now being made Is
a mere formality. Though the accounts
we have seen do not say so In so many
words, we conclude that presidential
clemency will be extended III at alb on
account Of the falling health OF Redwine.
