WOMAN SUFFRAGE

We have received from prominent adj
v0cate of woman suffrage in Georgia, who
by the bye, graduated at one of the female
colleges in Staunton, some literature about
the woman suffrage movement in Georgia.
She says she sends iJ as she learns that
1.-THE VINDICATOR is a friend to woman
suffrage" The INDICATOR is an ardent
advocate of putting woman on an equality
with man in every avenue in which she
may earn her living, and we have persist
emily protested against discrimination
being made against her in that field simply
because she is woman. But We never
remember to have put in type a single
word advocating her right to vote. As
matters are in the South now, her voting
is, and should be. an absolute impossibility.
If the educational qualification were
adopted throughout the South. we know OF
no better moce OF purifying the ballot and
the government than to admit educational,
qualified women to the ballot. But we
must have the intelligent elector pefore we
can have the woman elector.

KISSING THE BOOK.

A bill has been introduced in the Penn
sylvania legislature to do away with kiss
ing the Holy Bible as part of the form OF
legal oaths. 1t is very sensible PROPOSE
tion and ought to be generally adopted.
We have seen it somewhere stated that a
million you'd be a small figure in esti-
mating the bacteria that make their abid-
ing place on a book which has served in
administering oaths in a court for any
considerable length of time. The fact that
such volume is like|y to, and does, COM
Runicate disease to hundreds is InGnestion-
ed. As to the loss Of solemnity in the
administration of an oath by abandoning
the old system Of kissing, THAT can hardly
he taken into account. A man will be just
as reliable who lifts tho hand and affirms,
as he who kisses the book, for we think it
has been long ago conceded that no amount
Of swearing or solemnity will make a
rascal a truthful man on the witness stand.
The only comfort in using the kissing
ceremony with such fellow is that it may
give him well deserved case of diptheria
or some other of the numerous diseases
communicated through bacteria.

MOST IMPORTANT DECISION on
THE COURT OF APPEALs

A decision was rendered by the Virginia
Court of Appeals on Thursday of last week
which is very important to the tax payers
OF the State. in that its effect will be to re-
duce the criminal expenses to the point
they held before the "Mary Miller'' decis-
ion OF the old Court Of Appeals. The de-
cision of the old court which went ont
with the year 1894, was that magistrates
had no right under the constitution to pass
sentence in cases of petty larceny and that
the accused was guaranteed trial by jury
by the constitution. This decision cost the
State many thousands more in it's criminal
expenses, so many that the legislature sub
mitted to the people an amendment to the
constitution authorizing the legislature to
make law giving justices the power they
had before the "Mary Miller'' decision
At the last election this constitutional
amendment was adopted, but as it is of no
use until given effect by legislation. and as
there can be no legislation until the next
meeting of the legislature. the expense was
still going on. In order to ascertain
whether or not the new court agreed with
the old one, a test case was made up in
Richmond. John Brown, negro, was
charged with stealing copy of the Rich
mond Dispatch, valued at three cents, and
Justice Crutchfield sentenced him to Jail.
His counsel, Messrs. C. W. Dunstan and
George E. Wise, sued out writ Of habeas
corpus. Those gentlemen argued the case
before the Court of Appeals for Brown,
and Attorney General Scott for the Com
mo: wealth; the latter using the very same
arguments he did in the ''Mary Miller"
case. On Thursday, the court, through
Judge Keith, rendered an opinion sustain
ing the position Of the police justice. This
is very good news for the State and will
not only render the punishment of petty
crimes more economical, but also more
speedy.
We see that Police Justice Crutchfield
has already acted on the decision of the
court and sent one man to jail for carrying
concealed weapons and another for petty
larceny. 1t is hoped the police justices and
magistrates in all the cities and counties
OF the Commonwealth Will promptly follow
his example.

THE SOUTH AND GOLD.

It has been favorite cry of the free
silver coinage men that the South is with
them. AS matter Of fact when it comes
to the test, neither the South nor any other
section which wants to borrow money.
whether for funding its bonds and there
by saving to its people by a lower rate of
interest, or for investment in enterprises,
is for free silver coinage. A few days ago
the legislature Of Alabama wanted to fund
its bonded debt at 10 wef rate of interest.
The bill as first introduced stipulated that
the new bonds should be payable in gold. -
The House amended it by striking out those
words and inserting ''lawful money" The
Senate, when the billcame to it, struck that
out and inserted '.g0ld, ''and the House, by
small majority, flor there are many Pop
: uiists in that body who voted against con-
currence) eoncurred with it.. It was stated
in the debate on the matter, that none but
gold bonds could be aoated proGtaby.
Free silver islbeautiful in theory at any
time, but quite dazzling in these hard
times. buta great change arises when an
indident like that il Alaban,s comes-when
somebody really wants to borrow money.
It is a great field for popular defamation.
but what can We do about fl 4? If State
can borrow money protitably in order to
call in its bonds and save money to its peos
pie by getting lower interest, and the men
who can lend her the money will not lend
unless they receive back what they loan
gold-what can be done? There is no ar
&c.,. yet made under the laws of this
courssy " which you can take the mans
money from him whether he will or not.
any more than an arrangement 10y which
the railroads. telegraph lines and others
can be confscated. The fact that Alabama
finds her last, it not her only, CHANGE to
borrow money lies in guaranteeing its
payment in gold, shows how timid the free
silver agitation has made capital.
