Our victims second delusion is his idea
that government has something to do
with mercy. We pass by his rotion that
IL cen make a coin worth dollar tnat Is
really worth fifty cents only. That Is
such an aDsuri proposition trat almost
all sensible men are dropping 1t. But ne
holds on tenaciously to the error that
government can create money out OF pa
per ana that wnen private banks issue
their notes. government should superin-
tend the transaction and see to II they
do not issue more than their condition
justifies. nf there were no other Cd
lection to this idea II would be SUM-
Client one that II is socialism, pure and
simple. The Socialists idea is that gov
eminent shall manage all the affairs OF
the people, and this at once makes gov
eminent huge machine TO be run py
rottenness and corruption in politics. Inc
true theory of affairs is that everything
is TO turn upon the efforts of the indi-

ing whatever to do with the case except
TO defend ms against foreign attack, and
TO prevent one citizen from Interior
ing with another. There is no difference
whatever between the protection
which the New England manufacturers
ask for. and the protection" Po2ulists
and other cranks ask for in demanding
that government shall watch over the Is
sues of banks. Government has
nothing to do with either and it is utter
~ inconsistent to attack the tariff pro
tection." and call for the currency pro
lection" Leave men to themselves. and
let each one issue what notes he pieases,
while the other is TO take them If he
pleascs.
Finally, as all business is done by the
transferring of credits. it follows that as
freedom in transferring credits is inter-
fered with, mems ability and opportunities
to do business are restricted and abridg-
ed. and consequently the source of all
the financial difficulties this country
knows is the act Of Congress forbidding
local banks to issue their notes.

Chairman Dawson Again.

To the Editor Of The Times:
Sir.-On nv return 70 the city to-day,
my attention was called to the reply
which you made in your edition Of last
Saturday 70 my letter, which appeared in
the Dispatch on the 18th ult
/ beg to assure you that my only reason
for having this letter appear in the
Dispatch, rather than The Times. was
that | wished all the voter. 70 fully I'M
derstand my position I'm regard TO the
matter Of the City Committee under
taking to provide for an expression Of
opinion from the Democratic voters con-
corning the proposed amendment 10 the
citys charter I found that there We're
some who read the Dispatch. who did
not read The Times. just Is there are
some who read The Times. who do not
read the Dispatch. Your past favors 20
me warranted me In supposing that you
would have published my letter had
requested you TO do so. For these IA
yors, permit me now 20 express my graft
itude and tender YOU my thanks.
| note that The Times instead Of an
swearing any questions which / PROFOUND
10 it, or attempting 10 show in what man.
ner my argument was falaciOus. con-
tents itself with simply repeating the
statement that the committee exceeded It's
authority. | must therefore, conclude
that this Is simply an arbitrary opinion
OF The Times. and that il will be useless
for me TO endeavor to convince 1t OF
its error, as there are none so blind as
those who will not see. In my opinion,
the authority was conferred upon the
Committee 70 take the action which II
has taken, that IL has not exceeded its
powers. that il has usurped no authority

where it stands. and shall be satisfied
with the verdict Of not guilty, which the
people have rendered with an almost
unanimous voice in favor Of the Commit

with in their public capacities. that they
shall he always open and above board In
announcing those opinions. so that those
who vote for them may do so intelii-
gently, and that they shall be busy ana
active at all times in seeking TO convert
those who think wrongly upon public
questions from the error OF their ways
to correct views OF the case.
We cannot admire that public man who
aspires TO the place Of a follower instead
OF a leader OF public opinion. SO Tar as
we know. Virginia has never had one
single representative man who was VIII
ing TO stand up before the people ana
declare that he never formed opinions
for himself. but always aimed at find
ing out what was the most prevalent
opinion amongst the people that he might
adopt that as his own. That she may
never have such an one. is the devout
prayer of all who hope 10 see virginians
remain the open, frank candid. brave
rnen that they have always been. The
Stanton News makes the following re-
marks on the case:
Now that we come TO think of Ii, II
Is not unnatural that Senator Martin
should decline 10 express himself either
for or against silver. Having attained
his present position without ever hav-
ing expressed himself so far as we re-
member, on any public question what
ever, IL is natural that he should sup
pose this the wise course for public
man TO pursue. If a man can be elected
from Virginia TO the high office of Unit
ed States Senator without ever having
stated his position on anything, why
should he trouble himself about a little
thing like silver? Senator Martin is right.
Inc people OF Virginia may nounder
around in financial quagmires, and get
out the best way they can. He did not
get them in, and it is not his business
10 get them out. He has other fish 10
fry.

The Times Action in the Lunenhurg Nat
ter Warmly Commended.
IL L.


To the Editor OF The Times:
Sir-Your Investigation into the Lunen-
burg murder trial. and its results. have
attracted the attention and comment OF
people throughout the State.
4 murder in any community as vile
one as the one committed IN Lunen-
burg. is sufficient to arouse the ire and con-
demnation OF its citizens. and the people
OF Lmenburg justly felt outraged at the
preparation in their midst of crime
80 heinOus and fearful, and with de-
termined efforts they tried to find the
guilty parties
With circumstances SO strongly impli-
eating the cOlorcd women. weaving about
them what seemed 10 the enraged citi-
zens. in whose community this plot had
been executed, an almost indissoluble
chain Of damaging evidence, il IS but
natural that the crime should have been
fastened upon them by the public mind,
but that officers OF the law. men sup
posed at all times and under any circum-
stances 20 act with judgment and pre-
cisiOn, uninfluenCed by excitement or pas
sion. should upon the evidence adduced
at the trial condemn those parties to
die. concerning whose guilt there were
obliged TO have been doubts, seems, TO
the impartial observer. ineXcusabie.
The course The Times has pursued
is most highly commendable. and whether
or not the negroes be guilty, you will be
deserving none the less credit for having
honestly striyen TO protect them from
hasty Judgement. 10 have justice shown
them. and to prevent their being sum-
marily dealt with by excited men.
Your action, which ought TO have
taught prudence rather than infiamed
vehemence, will obtain for you that re-
cognition Of honesty Of purpose which
must come from a justlce-loving public.

Soon l saw dust. which | was told came
from where the pistol ball struck the

boy drew a pistol and fired. When l
reached Leigh street | saw the boy and
horse at the lower corner. They re-
turned up Leigh. and l heard a boy say
that the white boy asked. do you want
some more?"

pose OF again calling attention 10 the
