ticaily certain that 1t will not raise sufii-
Client revenue for the government as the
frcebooting (so-called) Democratic sena-
tors imposed Il upon the party. II is
worse than useless for us to shut our

soNething may turn up TO relieve the

look that situation in the face, and TO
deal with it intelligently ana as men who
are fitted TO be trusted with the affairs
OF a great nation. The Treasury officials
have held on 10 tho nope that as hrsi-

self-sustaining, but there is nothing IN

The exposures that are being made Of
the condition of things that prevailed at
the Gas-Works under the administration
OF the late superintendent of Gas are
most shocking. There seems 10 be no
place at which the city could be plundered
at which she was not plundered. But the
important lesson of the case Is its value
as an illustration of what must take
place in all tendency to the socialistic
form Of government II all property is
in common. those who propose to admin
lister the property will certainly agree
with those who elect officers that they
Will give them share of the property
I'm consideration OF their votes. That IS
the inevitable consequence of the social
istic principle in government.
1t should be the aim OF all citizens to
limit the functions Of government of all
sorts as much as possible. As govern
mcnts' Held is extended, rottenness and
corruption spread. Coniinc government

peace between individuals. and leave all

HELP THE, UNIVERSITY.

An excellent spirit was shown at the
.oee,iDe Of alumni and friends Of the
University Of Virginia yesterday. Inc
dissemination TO stand by the University
was very cheering. The present was
regarded as a most favorable occasion
for bringing TO the support OF that IN
s,ltution geater number Of persons and
70 create interest in it over a wider field
than ever before.
Its merits can now he disclosed. ana
with that properly done, interest ana
support will naturally follow.
A popular subscription should be taken
up throughout VirginiaA as has been
proposed. The Legislature will no doubt
handsomely respond to the requirements
of the situation. but so much has 10 be
done that the people al large viii have
10 supplement the appropriations Of the
State Government. After all, II is a
noble lesson in public spirit. which is but
another name for patriotism. If funds
are speedily supplied. 1t is quite possible
that the commencement exercises of
June. 1896. may be held In the public hall
and the alumni meet around the festal
board In the library as of yore. This
may easily be done If the walls are UNI
injured and the present plan OF the
buildings is reproduced. About this
there should be no doubt. nor should
there be any about the reconstruction
of nre-proof building only.

What are we going TO do about II! IL

and beer. We will take either or these
or both. or any other domestic tax be-
fore We will consent to any additions
whatever OH Imports that IS TO interfere
with the freedom Of trade. But Why
should NC increase taxes anywhere? Why
should not our minds be engaged rather
with an effort TO reduce our expenses III
1861 the annual expenses OF THIS govern
ment were only about S10ovo. ihey
are now nearly S0oVD.V)p' what mas
happened - make this vast increase ne
cessary? We have an interest charge OF
something like $3O0o,0,o IT IS true that
we ala not then have, but what has oc-
casloned the vast increase IN our general
cxpenscs? We have double the popula-
ton that we had in 1851. but we do not
necessarily increase the expense OF gov
erning in propStion 70 the increase in
incubation. The framework OF govern
mcnt being preserved intact the same
number OF officers that suffice fo- one
number OF people viii suffice fcT much
larger numbU. and the increase with
population is an increase OF individual
officers and not Of the scheme and plan
OF government. such increase OF officers
should not add large increases to the eX-
pondltures.
The truth Is that the extravasances
OF tho war set the pace for eXiraNagan-
ces in national expenditures, and the
whole effort Of people who make poli;ics

sort or another upon the public Treasury.
