ON this account, therefore, We commend
the work Of Richard T.. RothwcIl, the cd

disclosures he makes i'm regard to this
form Of swindling are startling. lie hnis
that a large number Of mining enter

"a Tax-Payer, on the ID. ID. a. ID. I.

(Staunton News
A communication in Thursdays Rich
! mond Dispatch from "a Taxpayer" OF
I Staunton. makes a suggestion toward
saving some OF the States money which
would be a good one II the facts were
exactly as "a Taxpayer" supposes; but
they are not.
He refers to the change made by the
last Legislature in the law governing the
ID. ID. b. l., whereby EVERY child
who now attends the school receives his
board, washing, tuition, books. medical
attendance, and all other incidental ex-
penses of the school-room free OF charge.
Pupils are also clothed by the institution.
where their parents will furnish salts
factory evidence of their inability to do
So" "a Taxpayer" is perfectly willing
that children of INDECENT parents shall
receive all these gratui,ies; but he thinks
those who can should pay. and that the
State has lost already 5000 by repeating
the former law, which nomnally required
parents to pay $50 tuition who were able
TO pay.
Now, the fact is, according to the state
ment of the Superintendent, that it has
been great many years since any pay
ments were made under the old law, the
pupils coming, with rare exceptions, from
parents who made oath to inability to
pay. In the very few cases where parents
were able to pay. nothing was ever col
lected, and for this reason, perhaps, 1t
was thought best by the Legislature to
make tuition, board, etc. free to all in
law, as it had for some time been in
practice.
In theory, "A Taxpayer" is right; but
when 1t comes to practical application.
very little seems practical along the lines
suggested.

A BOARD OLE PARnONG

II seems conceded that at the present
session OF the Legislature of Georgia a
board of pardons will be created.
Such bo>rds exist in most States. and
the necessity for one in Georgia has been
keenly felt. Crime has increased there
Gas elsewhere in the United States) to
such an extent that petitions for execu-
tive clemency are so numerous that IL
the Governor has TO continue to give
them his attention he VIII have to neglect
other important duties.
Two methods are suggested for the
creation OF the Georgia board. One IS
that the State Constitution be amended
so as to confer upon the board all of the
powers and responsibilities in question.
The other is to pass law for the crea-
ton of a board to be entrusted with the
duty of suggesting" executive action
BY this arrangement the Governor would
still be vested with all of his present
powers: but it is believed his work would
be vastly lightened. This board could
examine into the facts of each case and
submit to the Governor its findings and
don or not, as he pleased.
or course there would be appeals from
the board to the Governor. but even IL
there were an appeal in every case-which
would be improbable-stlll the duties of
the Executive would be greatly reduced,
because the board would sift the law.
and the evidence. and save him that
trouble.
In Virginia this subject has not yet re-
ceiyed the attention II deserves. But
the time is coming when II will become
a question of the first Importance
Them Governor of Virginia, besides
the ordinary duties of State
Executive, is ex-officio member
of many State boards If he be required
10 continue to examine and pass upon
every application for clemency, the time
Will surely come when he will have little
leisure for any other work-so rapidly is
crime Increasing: so general has become

tive.
II we would give the Governor OF yir-

should amend the State Constitution and

lature seems resolved to propose a series |

change could be made effective.
], may be said that few, II any, of our
executives have complained OF the sever
ny or the work which the pardoning
power imposed upon them And that
may be so. yet all OF them have spoken

The civil-service system will probably
be given a hard blow in the Senate this
week. Senator Carter has secured for his
bill TO provide for the preliminary prepa-
rations for taking the census of 1900 the
right Of way, and ii seems very likely
that the bill will be adopted without much
waste Of time. We learn from the Wash
ington correspondent of the Baltimore
American that the bill is drawn in the
spirit of spoils pure and simple. 1t pro-
vides that the superintendent or director
OF the census shall make his appointments
at "his discretion" subject only to such
examination as he may prescribe. The
Civil-Service Commission Is absolutely
and purposely ignored. Indeed, the bill
distinctly states that the examination
shall be such as the Superintendent OF
the Census shall direct, "and not
otherwise" The bill will provide
only for the appointment OF the Superin-
tendent of the Census, who will, as soon
as practicable after his appointment. re-
port to Congress his plans and method OF
carrying out his projects
The census of 1890 cost 81. 500 900. and I'M
undertook to do so much that half of
II was never finished. The next census,
probably. will be limited TO an enumera-
ton of the inhabitants of the United
States. their nativity. color, etc. and.
possibly. a statistical report OF the COM
merce and manufactures OF the country
will be added.

uATTIEN RESENTMENT.

| The Haitien Cabinet has resigned. ant
| II is stated that there Is considerable
| resentment in the republic against th'
| United states for not interfering In tn
| Lueders case.
We are not often In accord, with Presi
dent Mckinley. but certainly he was right
in not flying of the helve at the bidding
OF jingoes and getting US into a squabble
with Germany over the Lueders incident.
Germany's course In settling the matter
may have been harsh. but II was In ac-
cordance with precedent we have helped
To establish ourselves. II did not menace
the integrity OF the Monroe doctrine. and
in that admission is involved the further
admission that II was none of our bust
ness TO put in our oar.
That Haiti should feel resentment In
this matter is one of the results OF the
jngoism in this country that has con-
veyed to the States covered by our Mon
roe doctrine policy a false impression of
that policy. and caused them to presume
that we will protect them in any msbe-
havior they may indulge In. The sooner,
however. these States learn that II they
they must take the conse-
quences, provided the manner of admin
istering the consequences does not in
fringe upon the Monroe doctrine. the
better it Will be for them and for us.
AS for Haiti's resentment. Of course, no
one cares anything about that.
