Virginia's Expenses.

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
1t seems to me that the argument OF
your correspondent, "a Citizen of Neck
lenburg County" is perfectly impracti-
cable, and should the Legislature COM
mence cutting expenses on his lines, the
taxpayer would only succeed in jumping
out of the frylng-pan into the fire.
Your correspondent seems utterly to
overlook the fact that the extra ex
pense of keeping prisoners in our coun-
ty jais for three, six, and nine months,
possibly longer, would, in very short
time eat up the paltry $27, 800 which. he
claims. would be saved by the Common
wealth through district courts. to meet
quarterly, instead of our present sys
tenn. He overlooks another fact-that
the various counties now pay the sala-
res Of their respective judges mot alto
gether-the Dispatch), while, under the
system he advocates the county taxes
might possibly be reduced, the State
taxes would undoubtedly be greatly in
creased.
l would also like to inquire how the
taxpayers could save anything by doing
away with the office of County Trea-
surer and putting his burdens upon the
Sheriff? All that the treasurers make
is what their fees amount to- and would
not the sheriffs be entitled TO the same?
Or would our friend from Mecklenburs
be in favor of more than doubling the
already heavy duties of our sheriffs with
out just compensation?
| have lived in Texas. where the dis
trict courts are in vogue, and no one
can possibly imagine how insanely fool
ish such a change would be- unless such
a one could see the two systems in prac-
tice, as / have done.
/ have given this matter much study,
and I am convinced that the only posi-
bic way In which our State can sensibly
cut down its expenses Is TO make every
office, big and little. a salaried one, and
require all fees and commissions TO be
paid into the State Treasury. Should
this be done. we could have able officers
and the State would get fees enough to
pay all the salaries and more.
Texas is almost entirely on the fee
system, and for years the people, backed
by most Of the newspapers, have been
advocating salaries; but the ofice-holders
have each year made such hot fight for
their fees that each successive Legisla-
ture has been influenced in their favor.

Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1897-10-24

The New York Journal of Commerce,
in commenting on the shily-shallying
of Congress and the administration in
respect of currency reform, says:
" all this is neither more nor less
q lold political trifiing with the most
earnest public sentiment that has stirred
the nation for many years, with the chief
issue of the last election, with the prom
Uses made by the party then elected to
power and with what the commercial
opinion of the country still regards as
the foremost question demanding settle
ment."
Our contemporary then remarks that
this attitude of evasion is attributed to
what it's advocates euphemistically call
political prudence, and adds:
"It is assumed. that there are plenty Of
jingoistic and other exciting issues
through which public attention can be
successfully diverted from the one COM
manding question. This we take to be
the present preponderant attitude of
Congress towards currency legislation,
and, we repeat 1t is a despicably cow
ardly front to present to the country"
1t is true that the Journal of Com
merce is trying to smoke out the admin
istration and Congress in order to force
them TO definite action in favor Of what
it terms 'sound money" and that its
ideas of sound money have nothing in
common with the silver movement
None the less. its structures contain
truths that are the strongest of argu-
ment that the country need expect no.
thing in the way of currency reform
until the Democrats again come into

THE CAMPAIGN.


The day of the election is but one
week and one day off. On Tuesday,
November I'd. the voters of this State
are to decide between Tyler and McCaull
for Governor, between Echols and Roller
for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, and Montague
and Lyons for Attorney-General. The
voters will also determine whether the
Legislature shall be safely and soundly
Democratic or shall have a large men,
bership Of Republicans, Independents,
etc.
There would be no need to appeal to
our people. were II not for the drowsy
overconfidence that seems to hold them
fast. They take it for granted that vic
tory is so certain to be ours that there
is no need for them to bestir themselves.
There the danger lies. Whenever we
have met defeat 1t has been from such
q cause.
We warn our brother Democrats that
this course may cost our State and our
party dearly and we beg them to show
more interest and activity in the cause.
Let US not believe that the Republicans
are divided; divided they may be among
themselves, but they are united in the
purpose TO surprise and overwhelm us
wherever the foolish blindness OF our
people makes such a thing possible
And now a word to the Democrats Of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS in the main, also.
to every community where our legislative
ticket has a "walkover": Poll a good
vote for Hoge Tyler and his associates
on the State ticket 1t is both your duty
and your interest to do so. Remember
that this years gubernatorial vote may
be used as the basis OF apportionment OF
delegates in some future Democratic
conventions and in that event our repre-
sentation will be proportioned to the
number of Tyler votes cast here on Tues
day week! Again, Major Tyler's nomi-
nation at Roanoke was made unanimous
upon the motion Of distinguished citi
zen Of Richmond, and we ought 10 con-
firm that action by vote which will be
all the more complimentary because II
will not be wrung from us through any
fear Of danger to the head Of our ticket.
Further. II Is a good rule for all true
blue Democrats to vote whenever the
polls are opened. to the end that they
may keep in constant exercise the virtues
OF faithful citizenship
