VIRGINIA P0STMASTERS.
THREE CANDIDATES NAMED ron
THE RICHMOND OFFICE.
A Lively fight Going On over the Disiric
Attorneyship for the western Dis
trict and VIII Grow Hotter.

WASHINGTON, December Especial
The Postmaster General will appoint
twelve OF thirteen fourth-class Virginia
postmasters next week, and the appoin-
tees in each case will be from the list
furnished by National Committeeman
Bowden. And just 50 soon as the Presi-
dent can find time to take up the Viz
ginla matters he Will make Il NUMBER OF
postmasterg Of the third class. Ihere are
three or four presidential postmasters
whose terms have already expired.
WESTERN ATTORNEYSHlP.
Mr.. David +. Bailey, of Washington
Is here making the best hsht ne KNOWS
how for the United States District Attor-
ney General for the Western Dlstrict OF
Virginia. Much has appeared III me pa
pers about this Western District contest
but the fight will not be al us hottest
until next week. when the members oil ihe
machine committee gather in Nashins-
ton. -,
OF the executive committee. Waddill
and Brown Allen have been supporting
Gleaves Agnew and Brady have been
summarizing J. Hampton Hoge and Con-
trrcssman Walker VINO IS not IN accord
nittcd. he says, IL seems certain that
he will oppose both Hoge and Gleaves.
Bailey is inclined TO believe that walker
will support him.
THE DARK HORSE.
At any rate the candidate from Wash
ington county is very hopeful and his
friends here say that he is going to be the
dark horse winner. Some time ago Cen
eral Walker intimated to me that he
would have the man when the time
came but said he had not made up his
mind whom he would recommend. When
he sees the President he will assert HIM
self and either have his man appointed
or induce the President to hold up the
appointment indefinitely
The chances are there will be pref
ty lively fight for the Richmond post
Office. Russell. Knight, and Redmond
have each strong following. These con-
tests. Of course, mean delay. Postmaster
Cullingworth's term will expire the LIST or
March but in all probability it will be
April before his successor calls for the
keys.

THE JAPANESE CASE.

The decision of the Supreme
Court, made yesterday, in the
Japanese immigration matter,
NAV be far-reaching in its cOnse-
quences. Time and further re
Election only will show it's influ-
ence on our relations with Japan.
The policy of excluding the
further immigration of the Jap
anese is now settled here, and we
shall not discuss it at present.
The decision of the Court is,
first, that these immigrants are
aliens, because they have not
landed here, and therefore that
the right to consult and employ
counsel cannot be permitted to
them, under the treaty which
allows resident Japanese the pri-
vilege or right to appeal TO the
courts. Second, that the proceed
ings regarding their right to land
are wholly executive, and not jul
dicial under the law, and there
fore the Court will not review
the decision of an executive of
ficer. In reaching this conclusion
the Court follows the opinion of
the Supreme Court of the United
States. As the proper executive
officer has decided that these i'm
migrants are not qualified TO
land. his decision is final. Third,
ii is held that the refusal of per
mission to land is an executive
act. and therefore, no formal no
tice to the immigrants of the de
cisiOn is necessary. They cannot
be discharged, because they have
not been notified of the decision,
and have not appealed. The de
cisiOn of the Supreme Court is
final. and we hope it is a wise
one. From our own standpoint
it seems to be almost necessary
in order to preserve our distinct
nationality.

ADVERTISER AND ANNEXATION.

|
yertiser ask only for the truth,
so far as it can be obtained, re
garding annexation and recipro-
city matters. And some of its
readers. including many sincere
Iannexationists, really do not
want the ''cOld facts" but wish
Ito be warmed up" made to feel
good" and above all things, like
TO be stuffed with annexation
taffy.
The Advertiser mOdities its
opinions with the change of ev
ents. What was apparently true,
or probable yesterday, may be
quite untrue or probable today.
Six months ago the Advertiser
considered Senator Perkins an
unhinching friend of annexation.
Today, for causes which are not
openly discussed, he is opposed to
it. He apparently refuses to fol
low the declaration of his party
regarding control of these Isl
ands. OF course, the taffy annex
ationists would like the Adver-
tiser to say that the Senator was
drunk when he declared opposi-
ton, but that when sober. he is a
sincere anneXatiOnist, and will
humbly apologize to President
Dole.
Just after the Presidential cleo
ton, the Advertiser believed that
the Republican declaration of
"contrOI" would soon be made eff
Elective. Now it sees that the new
Secretary of State is man who
has bitterly denounced the Reel
prOcity Treaty, with which an
neXation is interviewer. OF
course. the taffy annexationists
wish this paper to say: "Glor-
IiouS old Sherman, he is with us.
The Advertiser cannot shout with
that crowd quite yet, and is there
fore Il pessimist. 1t has some
special knowledge regarding the
movements of the Sugar Trust.
and has some fear of its enOrm-
Gus money power in politics. The
taffy annexatiOnists wish it to
cry out that the Trust is bank
rupt, and is powerless in Con
gress.
The Advertiser has much con
tempt for the opinions of people
here regarding the intricate and
confusing work of political ma
chinery 5000 miles away. 1t is
doing its best TO inform its ser
iOus and anxious readers about
the situation, and it declines to
be a taffy shop. 1t trains with
men who have enlisted for the
war;" and takes no interest in
three months militiamen," who
are a nuisance in all wars, be
cause they are discouraged at the
sight of a little blood.
The people who control the AID
vertiser are thoroughly commit
ted TO annexation and a better
civilization here. On these points
they have put the Advertiser on
shore and burned the ships be
hind it. In its work it needs no
assistance, especially from Roy
alist hands covered with annex
alton gloves.
To the serious anneXatiOnists !
this paper says: There is no rea-
son for losing courage. Beyond |
Perkins and Sherman and others |
who are disaffected is the policy |
of the Republican party in the
matter of control. NOtwithstand
ing the declarations of political
parties it is we'll known that in
fluences are often brought to
bear which defeat the original

An international question may
arise. out of the decision of the
Court, that not until the immi-
grants are landed and are resi-
dents, are they entitled TO the
privilege of counsel and of access
TO the courts. Until residents,
they have no rights. Art. III of
the treaty with Japan provides
that the japanese shall have ''the
liberty freely and securely to
come with their ships and car
goes" to Hawaii. land they may
remain and trade" there. The
Court holds that rights under the
treaty are not acquired until
there is a residence. The Japan
ese authorities will undoubtedly
insist that the right to enter the
Islands carries with it all the le-
gal rights under the treaty, and
that there is no provision by
which the treaty is imperative
until the immigrant becomes Il
resident.

ABOUT BIKES.

credited with saying, "a man
can buy one of fifty bicycles
and not make a mistake. 3"
What he meant to infer was,
that the material from which
the Black Manufacturing
Company constructs the Tri-
bune bicycles is SO uni
formly perfect; that the
workmanship is of such a
superior character, that out
Of fifty wheels, one is as
good as another.
The 'o7 model Tribune has
three Improvements over
those of 'oo. The upper
frame tubing is constructed
| of II-8 inch steel and the
tSeat post is one inch tubular,
and is secured by a clasp.
The advantages of these
changes are manifest to ev-
cry rider of a wheel. The
Sprocket chain has a recently
patented improvement own
ed by the Black Company,

is made longer than before,

cogniZed.

Ii is not quite clear how fan
the Court has. Indirectly gone, in
following the decisions of the
Supreme Court of the United
States, i'm holding that the legis-
lative power may override the
obligation of treaties. The leg
isIative power of the Federal
Government forbid the immigra-
ton of Chinese. This was con
trary To the existing treaty be
tween the United States and
China. The Supreme Court sus-
tanned the authority of the legis-
lative branch to practically an
null the treaty, under the sOver-
eign power which a nation has,
to protect itself.
1t may be noted that upon this
decision the Executive branch at
once negotiated n new treaty
with the Chinese, by which the
Americans were permitted to ex-
clude the Chinese.
If our Supreme Court has, in
directly, followed this decision,
and in any way impaired the OBJ
legation of our treaty with Japan.
it may compel the Executive TO
make new treaty with Japan,
so as to avoid serious misunder-
standing. We believe that the
