THE MAssIE LIBEL SUIT.-The
suit instituted for libel by Hon. Jno.
+. Massie, Superintendent of Public
instruction in Virginia, against the
Norfolk Pilot, which charges Mr..
Massie with corruption in office in
the contracts made with the Ameri-
can Book Co. for the supply ofSchool
books TO the schools Of the State, is
exciting much interest throughout
Virginia and bids fair to become a
noted case. Both sides have en-
ployed eminent counsel, andthe trial,
it is thought, will be one Of the most
sensational tried in the State since
the trial Of John Brown just before
the war. 1t is said that Senator
Faulkner will probably be one of
the attorneys for the Pilot, now ed
tied by the Rev. Sam Small.

Building and Loan Associations.

Several measures have been in
troduced in the Legislature looking
to the exclusion Of foreign Build
ing and Loan Associations from this
State. These measures provide that
every foreign association shall make
deposit of 100000 in good bonds
with the Auditor before they shall
be permitted to do business i'm this
State. 1t is believed by many that
this proposed legislation is suggested
by home associations seltishly seek
ing monopoly of the business here.
The severity of the conditions
sought to be imposed upon foreign
associations gives cOuntenance to this
idea. 1t behooves the Legislature.
therefore, to look carefully to these
measures for in seeking, AS the au-
thorS suppose, to protect the people
against foreign associations they
may leave them to be plundered by
home associations having no bust
ness standing here or elsewhere
We dare say there is as much neces-
sity for Legislation to protect the
people against domestic associations
Of this kind as against foreign COM
panies and any legislation on the
subject ought to apply equally to all
alike. No association of good stand
ing, foreign or domestic, will object
to being placed under reasonable
conditions and the safeguards pro-
videded by law for stockholders
should apply as we'll to one class as
to the other. We know of one for
eign association which has over 500
600 loaned to the people of this
State and have no doubt there are
many others with much larger
amounts. To exclude such associa-
tions from doing business here by
imposing such unreasonable and
prohibitory conditions as are sug-
gested in the measures referred to
would be a hardship not simply upon
the companies but upon our own
people.

to be largely dictated by little co.

as shock of corn cometh in his sea,

A Severe Bill.

The railroad bill prepared by Gen.
eral st. Clair, attorney for the coal
operators of the Kanawha and New
River valleys, introduced Saturday
in the Senate by Mr.. Haynes, is far
reaching in its provisions. The bill
makes il unlawful for any railroad
corporation, by its officers, its agents
or otherwise, to engage in the bust
ness of buying coal, coke or other
commercial commodities or to pledge
its aid or credit to another engaged
in such business. 1t makes il I'M
lawful for any person or firm to en-
ter into an agreement with any rail
road corporation to supply or pur-
chase from any such railroad corpn-
ration coal, coke or other CONNER
cial commodities. 1t makes it I'M
lawful for any railroad to discrimi-
nate among shippers, and forces
them to make ample and sufficient
provision for the transportation of
| coal and coke offered for transpOrta-
ton, and makes ii incumbent upon
the officers of railroads to furnish n
sufficient number of cars for the
transportation Of coal and coke from
all mines without favor or discrimi,
nation.
The penalties attached for the
violation of any Of the provisions
Of the proposed law are from $4,000
to $4,000 for each offense, and the
officer or agent of such railroads
who violates any of the provisions
OF the law is to be deemed guilty
of felony, and upon conviction
shall be confined in the penitentiary
not less than one nor more than five
years. In addition to these severe
penalties it is provided that the rail
road violating any of the provisions
of the law shall forfeit its charter
rights and privileges.
1t Is now in the hands of the Sen
ate committee on railroads, and will
probably be taken up for copsidera
ton early in the week. This bill
as has already been intimated, il
aimed especially at the Chesapeake
and Ohio Coal Agency, and if it be
comes law that firm will have tC
go out of the business. 1t is in
tended also to prevent the formation
and operation of all such companic.
organized among the officers, stock
holders and directors Of railroads.
The coal operators along the line
of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad
heretofore have been unable &c
get their products to market ex.
cept through the Chesapeake anC
Ohio Coal Agency--that is, the,
have been prevented from goins
into open market themselves anC
have been compelled to sell tn,
whole of their products to tn,
agency. 1t is understood that tn,
agency has already decided to 60 on
of the business, and if this be tru,
the Chesapeake and Ohio people viii
probably not fight the hill.

relates the following interesting in
Cidcnt:
The representatives of the various

while all the others were absent, SO
that no one should know what propo-
sitiOn any one else made. When the
hearings were about half way through
Il secret agent of the Werner Com
pany was found in the committee
room taking notes Of what the other
agents said. When he was discOv-
cred he was collared and hustled
out without ceremony. His name is
Alfred Kenney, Of Calhoun county,
who holds position in the pension
bureau at Washington. He got a
ten days furlough last week and
came on here, it is presumed under
the direction of the Werner Com
pany to act as their detective. When
a. j. Wilkinson, representing the
American Book Company, went into
the committee room he recognized
Kcnney and called the attention of
the committee to him. They had
not known up to that time that they
were harboring a detective. 1t is
needless to say that the other agents
were angry and chagrined when they
found that they had been giving
away their secrets to rival COM
pany.

SPECIAL MESSAuE.--The Presi-
dent sent a special message on the
financial situation to Congress on
Monday. 1t was listened to with
close attention. At the conclusion
of its reading Chairman William NJ.
Springer, Of the Banking Currency
Committee, presented a bill author
izing the Secretary of the Treasury
to issue and sell at not less than par
in gold fifty-year gold bonds of the
denominations $50, $50, and multi.
Piles thereof, bearing per cent. in
terest, and to retire with the proceeds
thereof legal tender notes and treas
ury notes. In other particulars this
bill follows in the strict line of the
Presidents recommendations in the
message. Reference to the message
provoked slight furry. 1t was at
tempted to refer the message to the
committee on banking and currency.
EX-Speaker Reed called attention to
the fact that under the rules a part
of the message should go to the COM
mittee on Ways and Means. Rep.
resentative VIM. l.. Wilson said the
committee on Ways and Means pre-
TERED that it should go TO the Bank
ing and Currency Committee, to
which ii finally went by the regular
order. The extreme silver men will
antagonize it openly. There is be-
lief that while the House will finally
pass the bill authorizing the issue of
bonds, that the retirement and can
collation. of greenback will he re-
fused.
THE GOLD WITHDRAWALS
Treasury Department lost by gold
Withdrawals on the 25th as follows ::
AT New York, $1,000, 900; at Bos-
ton, S450,000. Total for the day,
81, 100000. OF the Sc, 700, 900 with
drawn at New York So, 200, 900 was
in gold coin and 81, 100000 in gold
bars. The gold Withdrawals on that
day reduced the Treasury gold re-
serve to $50, 5S2,S5S.
There was a natural anxiety all
day in the Treasury Department
over the gold situation. Assistant
Secretary Curtis was in frequent
communication by the long. distance
telephone with Assistant L. S. Treas
urer Jordan, at New York.
During the Cabinet meeting a
message from New York, stating
that up to noon S4,70O, 900 in gold
had already been withdrawn, with
more Withdrawals in sight, was de-
livered to Secretary Carlisle at the
White House. 1T was laid before
the Cabinet, and formed part of the
general discussion of the financial
question which was in progress.
After the Cabinet meeting Secre-
tary Carlisle was for some time clos
eteu Win notwithstanding Curtis.
Mr.. Curtis stated afterwards that
there was no public announcement
to be made. The gold drain, he
said, had been heavy, hut there was
nothing In the situation to cause un-
easiness. The general Treasury con-
dition was good, and the receipts
continued heavy.
II Congress does not not take some
action soon to prevent this continued
drain on the gold reserve another
issue Of bonds seems inevitable. Mr..
Cleveland has stated the case clearly
and urged the necessity of prompt
action, but so far we have had moth
ing but talk.
