passed the amount is being rapidly COL

forth to her his brawny arms, from
which hang broken shackles. At the

THE PRESIDENT and Congress and the
republican party are all bothered over
the means by which the steadily in
creasing deficit in the Treasury may
be stopped aud further loans be pre-
vented. The simple aud easy way for
them to get out of the difficulty is plain,
but they can't see it, or are afraid to
take it, though the whole country
would applaud them if they would DO
90. That way is to provide one OF the
several means by which surplus in
comes may be taxed, so that the rich
may pay their share of the expenses OF
the government that protects the
wealth they have acquired by favored
lapislation.

THURSDAY EVENING, DEC. 2, 1897.

GOVERNOR O'FERRALL has no love
for Alexandria, and hasn't sem: 9
enough to conceal his animosity to-
wards her. In his long and windy
but. fortunately, last annual message
to the legislature, he attempts to hold
her up TO censure because some OF her
people were so incensed against ne
gro who had outraged two little white
girls that they hanged him without
due process of law, and accuses her
then mayor of dereliction OF duty IN
not calling out military company to
prolong the justly forfeited life OF the
wretch. The mayor had been inform
ed that some of the lynchers had been
arrested and the others dispersed,
and before he heard that they had re,
assembled, the station house had been
stormed and the beast hanged. And
now that the affair is over and almost
forgotten, it is just as well that the
military were not called out, as had they
been. il is more than probable that
some valuable lives would have beer
lost in a futile attempt TO save one
that was utterly valuless.

FROM all ages economy has been es.
tesmed as one of the greatest virtues.
If that estimation of it ever were cor
rect, it must be especially so now,
when dollars, instead of being as plen-
tiful as doughnuts, are as scarce as
hens teeth. Realizing this dearth OF
money, and the necessity of saving as
much of it as they can, many women
in various parts of the country have
determined to send no Christmas gifts
this year with the expectation OF re-
ceiving others in exchange, and OF re-
stricting the list of those to whom they
shall send them, to children, to whom
Christmas would be shorn of mucn OF
its pleasure by the absence of such gifts,
aud to the poor, whom they always
have with them.

THE GOVERNOR congratulates the
General Assembly upon the fact" that
gambling has practically been driven
out of the State under his administra-
ton. The legislature has certainly al
most practically driven horse racing
out of Virginia, and thereby greatly
deprecated the value of all the stock
farms in the STATE; but for him 70
say that gambling has also been
driven out, only adds to the ridicule
that attaches to him. If he would send
one of his numerous staff, in his blue anc
gold uniform, to the track near this city
on which racing has been suspended
he would soon know that gambling Is
as rife there as it was when horse rae
lag was in progress. And he could
learn the same by ordering one of them
to accompany some of the members OF
the legislature to faro bank, right
under his nose in Richmond.

RELIABLE intelligence from Rich
mond is to the effect that the present
election law of the State will not be re
pealed or even changed during the
present session of the legislature. This
is well, and just as it should be. What
is true in one part of Virginia is true in
all the other parts, and no intelligent and
unprejudiced man who has witnessed
the operation of the election law here,
where the color line is observed as
strictly as anywhere else in the State,
can imagine how law better calcu
lated to sucure secret ballot, and at
the same time, fair vote and fair
count, could possibly be enacted.

factory to vast majority of the people

know this? The repeal of that law was
the chief plank upon which the fight

State was made last month, and yet
that ticket was elected by sixty thou
sand majority. That certainly did not
show that the law is unsatisfactory to
the "vast msjority of the people of the

necessarily be reckless in some of his

THE LEGISLATURE.

The rules of the Senate were chang
ed in ore important particular. This
change provides that majority of the
Senators present may discharge q
committee from the consideration Of
any bill. A somewhat similar change
was made in the rules of the house.
Senator Opie filed written notice to
the effect that when the committee on
privileges and elections is appointed he
will offer bill to consolidate elections.
His idea is to elect State and county Of
fcers when the president of the United
States and congressman are vote for.
A special message was received from
the Governor with reference to the va.
cancies occurring in circuit and county
judgeships since the adjournment of
the last Legislature.
In the House yesterday abstracts OF
the returns of the election for Governor
and Lieutenant Governor were pre-
sented. The debate prevented the
making of motion for joint meeting
of the houses to count and declare the
result. This will probably be done
Friday.
Mr.. Cook, of Norfolk, introduced a
bill in the House to remedy the defect
in the law developed in the famous
Cannon conspiracy case in that city.
The bill provides for making a con.
spiracy between husband and any
other person to cause wife to commit
adultery felony. The punishment is
put at confinement in the penitentiary
for not more than eighteen nor less
than ten years. Any one aiding in
such conspiracy shall be imprison-
ed fer not less than five nor more than
eighteen years. At present, as develop
cd in the Cannon case, the maximum
punishment in conspiracy case is
fine of 81 900 and twelve months con-
6nement in Jail. There is no law tor
this specific kind of conspiracy.
The Joint legislative GAUGES will be
held tonight, when the programme
for the nomination of the various heads
of departments will be held.
