mess room. with its great rows of tables,

Important Decision Concerning Sunday
Freight Trains.

The Appomattox and Buckingham
Times, of last week, contains the
following article concerning an i'm
portant decision recently handed
down by the Court OF Appeals:
On the Sth day of June, 1888, the
Norfolk and Western Railroad Com
pany was indicted by an AppomattoX
grand jury for running freight trains
on Sunday. The case came up for
trial and was tried at the November
term following OF the county court.
They We're found guilty, and a fine
of $50 was imposed. The company
appealed the case TO the circuit court,
which, at the December term, 1898,
affirmed the decision of our county
court. The case was carried to the
Supreme Court of Appeals, where it
has been pending ever since. The
Court of Appeals in its opinion, rem
dered last Thursday, says:
Norfolk and Western Railroad
Company VS.. the Commonwealth,
section 1901 of the Code, which pro-
hibits railroad companies from run,
ming freight trains on Sunday, is held
not to be in conflict with the COM
merce clause Of the Constitution OF
the United States, and is valid
exercise of the police power OF the
State for the protection of the morals
and health of the people. The State
has the right in order to secure and
protect the laws of health OF its
citizens, or to preserve good order
and the public morals, to leglslate
for such purposes. And where 1T Is
done in good faith, and without DIS
elimination against interstate or
foreign commerce, it is not in viola
ton OF the commerce clause OF the
Constitution of the United States,
although such legislation may some
times touch in its exercise the line
separating the respective domains OF
Federal and State authority, and, TO
some extent, affect interstate and
foreign commerce.
Immediately after the opinion was
handed down by the Supreme Court
the Norfolk and Western Railroad
issued orders that no freight trains
should be run on Sundays.

Tic Fifty-Cent Dollar.

We hear a great deal from the gold
standard men about. their objection
to the "ffty-cent dollar" By this
they mean the ilverSdollar, or the
silver certificate representing the
silver dollar They do not want q
fifty-cent dollar. They insist upon a
gold dollar, which they declare is
worth just twice as much as a silver
dollar OF silver certificate. Suppose
they begin 1T the banks, and stop
them from giving them fifty cent
dollars Let any man who is for
tunate enough to have a bank &C
count inquire of the people to whom
he gives checks what kind of money
they get at the banks. They will
tell him that in most cases they re-
ceive nothing but silver certificates,
which we are told are only worth
fifty cents on the dollar. The amount
of gold coin in existence bearing the
stamp of the United States is little
over six hundred millions. The
amount of silver dollars IN existence
bearing the United States stamp is
about four hundred and thirty mil
lions. Three hundred and sixty mil
lions of these silver dollars have been
deposited in the treasury by their
owners, who received therefor silver
certificates. These silver certificates
read as follows:
"This certities that there has been
deposited in the treasury of the
United States one silver dollar, pay
able to bearer on demand"
And so with the different denomi-
nations of the same. These GER
tificates constitute much the larger
portion of the paper money in circu-
lation among the people. Very few
greeubacks will be seen. The govern
ment has stored away in the treasury
a surplus of very nearly two hundred
millions-all OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the
rold reserve OF one hundred and SIX
millions. Then the bank reserves are
in greenbacks. So it seems that the
chief circulating medium of the
country consists of silver certificates,
which, the gold bugs say, are worth
only fifty cents on the dollar The
banks pass them for full dollars:
The government receives them rs full
dollars for all kinds of taxes and
duties and other dues. 1t must be,
therefore, that the iifty-cent dollar
is lust SIS good as any other dollar.
1t seems little strange that the
officials OF the banks which pay
out silver certificates almost eXclu
sively upon depositors' checks should
be declaring them to he worth only
fifty cents on the dollar. If they tell
the truth. the banks must be cheat
ing everybody out of just fifty cents
on every dollar. Aud if the silver
certificates are really good whole
dollars, it would seem to be lying to
call them tifty-cent dollars. Are the
banks lying to the people, or cheat
ing their depositors? If they pass
of fifty-cent dollar, they are cheat
ing. If the dollars which they call
tifty-cent dollars are really one
hundred cent dollars, they must be
