NO CURRENCY LEGISLATION.

czor Reed Is certain in his own mind
OF succeeding himself as Speaker Oh the
House when Congress assemblies in extra
session. So certain is he, indeed tnat I've
has already, 1t is said, mapped OUT
most autocratlc programme.
Reed. we are told, is opposed 10 any
legislation during the extra session. eA-
oept the passage OF the tarif BILL ana
In order to prevent any other measures
being taken up he will appoint o"'y
three committoes-the Committees on
Rules Ways and Means, and Mileage
In short. Reed does not propose 10
recognize that the minority in Congress
and the masses have any rights tha' ne
Is bound to respect, and intends TO run
the extra session entirely in the interest
OF ultra McKinleyism and the compare
lively few. He is TO become Ham"
paymaster. and discharge directly tnat
worthy's debt to the tariff combination
and the monopoies by preventing any
delay in the passage OF the tarln Dill
and indirectly satisfy, as far as possible
the claim OF wall street and the devotees
of the present national-bank system, by
doing all I'm his power to delay currency
reform and gain time in which financial
Bourbonism may find the means of finally
killing reform. While the work Of the
Banking and Currency Committee OF the
House has not afforded evidence of the
earnest purpose to give reform we had
hoped for, there have been increasing
indications Of public pressure upon the
committee for currency legislation. In
pressure of this sort-a public pressure
that would prove irresistible-is the hope
of the people; and it is very apparent
that the influences the committee have
been subjected to so far have been suf-
ficient TO render uneasy the advocates of
no change i'm our financial system. 1t
would seem clear therefore, that, aside
from Reeds desire TO give the tariff bill
a clear track, his refusal to appoint
banking and currency committee for the
extra session will have for its object the
stopping of the rising tide, or, at least,
the removal of anything that tide could
break uDon. But may it not have a
far different effect? May il not cause the
steadier tide to become @ tidal wave. and
break upon and over Congress itself? We
trust so

TRAIL TOO FRESH.

The New York trust investigation trail
is becoming entirely too fresh TO suit
some Of the Republican leaders at AL
bany. The investigation is a conces-
sion to the popular feeling against trusts
and monopolies and Senator LeXow APP
pears to be thoroughly in earnest. He has
proved a star inquisltor and, despite the
fact that the Havemeyers and Searleses
dhe star witnesses for the sugar
combine), showed that they were master
OF the art of evasion, he drew from them
some very damaging facts. Anent the
situation. the Albany correspondent of
the New York Herald says the further
Lexow probes unlawful combinations. the
nercer becomes the rage Of his col
leagues in the Senate"
The fact seems 10 be that the investi-
CATION has put the Republican leaders
In New York between the devil and the
deep sea. The exposures have been such
that a failure to legislate trusts out Of
existence, so far as the State is con-
cerned, would endanger the party IN the
State; yet the crushing OF the trusts
would be diameiricolly opposed 10 the
policy and the interests OF the national
Republican party.

living upon the bounty of Virginia. AS
we have said. all this grows out OF the
exaggerated IDEAS spread abroad In the
past as TO the value OF the States hold
ings in the oyster country, and OF the
revenue which those holdings are capa-
bic Of producing.
Tidewater virginia. or some parts Of
II, we would better say. has natural
advantage IN her oyster-beds. Just as
certain other sections have natural ad-
vantages I'm water power in tAeir beds
Of iron-ore. &c. But upon the whole we
section pays. and has always paid. into
the state Treasury her fair share Of
taxes, and that she has been Of less
expense to the state than any other sec
ton. Little or none Of our State debt
was created to build railways or turn
pixies in the oyster country.
That the oyster legislation OF this
State has not always been wise we are
ready 20 admit. 1t may be that we
have not yet adopted a system that is
the best in all respects; but we have
certainly made a movement in the right
direction. and the Dispatch has high
hopes that our present laws will prove
advantageous TO the state and planter
both. At any rate. let us give them "A
fair trial. Let US. also. drop the ex-
aggerated notions that we have as to the
value of the oyster property, and con-
cede to the Tidewater man credit for as
much honesty Of purpose as we shall
find in the average man of any other
section Of Virginia.
