To Tax Court-Day Dinners
in Eiarrisonburg.
From the Rockingham Register. I

From the Rockingham Register
AT the meeting of the Town Council Tues
day evening, Mr. Sullivan, acting at the re-
quest Of restaurant and clearinghouse keep.
ers, called attention. to the practice of holding
court day dinners for church and benevolent
objects, which worked considerable hardship
on people in that business who paid an an
nual license tax to the town. Without dis.
cussing the matter, Mr.. Sullivan in timatee
that he would vote to require license for such
dinners so as to put them Oh an even footing
with the men whose business is seriously in
iured under the present arrangement. Severa
members Of the Council appeared to take the
same view, and a vote, If taken, might have
resulted in imposing license tax on these
dinners. But Mr. Sullivan said he would not
press for immediate action, as some of the
church people might want to be heard on the
subject aid on his motion the matter went
over until next meeting

CONGRESSIONAL CURRENCY.n

The reception OF the work on ''Congres
sional Currency" by MI. Armistead G.
Gordon Of Staunton, by the press of the
country shows that, contrary to the old
proverb, a prophet may have honor both in
his own country and elsewhere. We fine
that such papers as the New York Herald
Louisville Courier-Journal, Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette, Detroit Free Press
st. Paul Pioneer Press, Galveston, Texas,
News, and others, of like standing, give il
Il most appreciatiye reception. The New
Yolk Herald b designation Of it, that it is 9
''solid, suggestive, and thoughtful book. ,
Is one of the best that we have seen and
describes it accurately.

The House Committee on Elections
through its chairman, Mr.. Randolph Har-
rison, made its report Saturday, refusing
to unseat s. B. Reese the Populist member
from Halifax. The report goes broadly
and deeply into the law Of elections, their
spirit and intent, and holds that mere infor-
malities that do not affect the merit of the
case, andin the absence of fraud, should not
count to unseat a member.
There is strong movement of the insur-
ance element Of the State to weed out the
wild cat companies who have secured char
tiers in Virginia and do business outside;
companies discard the. 'three-fourths"
clause. A bill has been offered repeating
the charters Of nine companies. including
the ''Shenandoah Valley" and Common
wealth. of Winchester; the "Pequanock -
of Staunton, and the 'sUnGerwriters" of

additional appropriation of $4,000 this

THE WIDESPREAD VAR FURRY
The squelched raid Of the Englishman
DR.. jameson, into the Transyaal Republic
in South Africa, has set more war ships to
moving, brought on more cabinet meet
inGs, inspired more Warlike editorials in all
languages, and more warlike naval prepa.
rations in Great Britain, than have been
seen for many a.year. Ithas dwarfed the
Venezuela affair in q way very notifying
to our ''jingo' vanity, and in the turmoil
Uncle Sam S voice is lost.
Our Venezuelan Commission has secured
an Office in Washington and quietly gone
to work, and hopes, it is reported, to be
ready to report in three months. And in
the mean time, and in good time, President
Cleveland gave piece Of good advice last
Saturday to committee Of Venezuelans
who waited on him. urging them to warn
their countrymen against any hostile dem
onstration against Great Britain-a eau
ton their countrymen stand sadly in need
OF. BY the time CUE Venezuelan report is
ready, the government of GTeSt Britain
| will have laid before Parliament full ex.
position Of it's status and claims in the
disputed boundary matter, and its case, as
well as that of Venezuela, will be before
the world, and viii eventually receive a
reasonable and peaceful adjustment. In
deed we are already showing that we have
no malice, for on Monday the State De
Dartment telegraphed Ambassador Bayard
to request the British government to inter
fere in behalf of American citizens that
may he among the Jameson prisoners cap
tured in the Transvaal Republic, and MI.
Bayard replied that the British Commits
sloner there had been instructed to do SO.
Next to DE-. Jameson, Emperor William
OF Germany, another young and rattle
Grained person, has lighted up the horizon
and, strange to say, the usually conserva
tive German parliament applauded his
action. His action from a diplomatic
point Of view, unless he meant war, was
unaccountable, being no less than address
ing an official communication over the
head OF Great Britain to a small govern
ment under the suzerainty Of that power.
and the acknowledged suzerainty too. But
it is not likely that there will any war
between England and Germany grow out
OF it. 1t would be too costly matter. The
war rumors assigning France and Russia
to Germany as allies, are the merest specu-
lations and with little ground. Russia :
hatred for Germany would not make such
war popular. and France with the Alsace
and Lorraine memories of 1875 could never
SIDE with Germany. and so the oft prophe-
SIed general European WARP may be said
to be as far off as eyer.

have hunted over the calendar and secured

some slight change, they hand up to the

The bill introduced by Senator Wlthers
to establish Railroad Commission, does
not stand ghost Of chance as perusal
)of the prompt hotel arrivals OF railroad
lobbyists shows. The introduction OF IL
carries us back to four years ago when
there was an organized effort in the rufal
districts to get such commission. Oh
Counting noses when that legislature met IL
WAS found that the Commission had twenty
I eight majority in the House in favor OF the
kpiil, but in few weeks the appeals OF the
railroads to the fears Of the majority and
\helr representations of the utter lmpractl-
hbility of the bill, changed the majority
INTO minority. Lt.-Gov. Kent, then a
elegate from Wythe, led the fight, but the
pressure was against him, the effort
is side tracked and the Mason railroad
substituted. If the Commission failed
