Editor Of The Times:

Slr.-I notice carefully the editorial IN
your issue Of tho 18th instant, headed
"What Corporation IS Doing" in which
you say the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company have I'm operation an insurance
plan for the benefit OF the railroad em-
ployes, the relief feature OF which is COM
pulsory requiring every employe to con-
tribute 10 the insurance fund.
Things effect a man as they impress
themselves upon his attention, and this
compulsory business CRATES hard on the
feelings Of every seif-respectng man, as
IL seriously interfcre5 with his personal
liberty. it IS well-knOwn, Mr. Editor. the
strong stand you have always taken
against employees attempting r. compel
other employees from working at certain
times. or forcing corporations from em-
ploying new men. and you were perfectly
right about g. and I hope you VIII resist
compusion in corporations, as well as in
individuals or labor unions. ] believe all
the insurance companies and beneficial
societies are prosperous, and their mem
hershiTs are entirely voluntary, and If the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad COmpanys
insurance plan IS so worthy, they, too,
could get sufficient voluntary membership.
I do not see that IL IS an enlargement Of
the soul 20 withhold from man any part
Of his Just earnings. Tic III accords with
strict Justice. Coercion belongs 20 the
civil powers only. IL takes two, at least,
to make a contract, and silence doesn't
give consent. A SUBSCRIBER.

HOW TO HELP coon WORK.

We give herewith a letter sent us by the
Prison Association Of Virginia. asking
our cooperation in obtaining employ
ment for the boys discharged from the
Retormatory. The plan adopted in that
institution is to place IL in the power
of every boy TO shorten his term OF con-
iinement by good conduct. The time OF
his release is the critical time Of his life.
and 1t is OF the highest Importance that
there should be no delay in procuring EN-
pioyment, and especially with those whose

We have on more than one occasion re-
marked that the Independent vote Of this
country was growing and day by day
evidence to that effect accommodates.
The following article from Leslie's Week
ly is in line with the growing sentiment.
We quote:
1t is unlikely that the Independents in
politics will ever consolidate into a party
with aggressive and constructive policies.
II such thing should be brought about.
then the members Of such u party would
no longer be Independents.
But year by year there are in each
community. as well as in the country at
large. greater numbers of men who can
not be counted on TO do the bidding Of the
party leaders or even TO subscribe 10 the
principles formulated ia party platforms.
These are the real Independents, and the
very large majority Of them-even ninety
per cent of them. we venture TO say
are men who do their own thinking and
are not in the least influenced BY person
al disgruntlement on account of disap-
pointment to get or 10 retain Office.
These independents may not be able to
do what might be called constructive po-
litical work, but they WELD a mighty veto
power, and when they unite-and they
often do this without any effort at or
ganization-they are sure TO defeat the
marty against which they move. As
against an individual candidate. tho en-
nifty OF these independents is as fatal as
death.
There IS nothing that the machine poll
tician hates and fears so much as your
stiff-necked Independent. Ana there Is
probably no one for whom the indcpend-
ent has such a deep contempt as for your
machine politician They are natural enc
mics they will be so til the end OF the
chapter.
The machine politician and his master,
the boss, are to-day the menace 70 good
and pure government in this country.
All that they care for is the power Of
office and the spells thereof. In the inde-
pendents is all our hope, for they alone
can regulate, punish, and defeat the dan
gerous men who, FOR purely personal pro-
fl. make a profession OF politics and
trade OF government.
But 10 organize the Independents into
a regular party IN nonsense Besides, it
could not be done.
The independent voter does not deny
the necessity OF party organization, and
II Is his preference to affiliate with some
one OF the great national parties when
ever he may do so without doing violence
20 his own convictions. But his idea IS
TO promote the general welfare rather
than the private interests or the ofico
seekers. lie is not after Office for HIM
self or his friends. He has no political
ambition and therefore his purpose is not
20 build ND a new party. but 10 purify
existing parties and TO make them serve
the people rather than tho political
bosses

THEY RIDICULE IT,

Facts are Stubborn Things.

Stomach troubles are so common and
in many cases so obstinate to cure that
people are apt 10 look with suspicion on
any remedy claiming TO be radical. per-

their acutencss in never being humbug-
Ecd. especially on medicines.
This fear OF beig humbuggod may be
carried too far; so far, In TACT, that many
persons suffer for years with weak d.

THE DEFEAT or THE SCHOOL Az
psOPRIATION.

We have little TO say Of the deiea' oi
tho proposition to give the public schoOis
an extra appropriation beyond the SIM
nile expression Of our regret at the ac-
,,or ~ tho Council Our views have been
en- fuIlv set forth. that to 80 over the
ground again would be like threshihs
over old straw. our chief regret is that
rho action OF the Council will be construed
., homo and abroad as a blow at popu-
,.r education. But we desire 70 say IN
al candor that we do not so regard H.
That is to say, we feel very sure that II
was not so intended by those gentlemen
who voted against the extra appropfla~
,,on We do not believe that they are
opposed to the public school system or
that they underestimate the Importance
Of sustaining it with as liberal appro-
priations as the city is able TO make
we believe that they were moved solely
NV the determination 10 keep expenditures
safely within the city's resources, under
the conviction that to depart in any in
stance, from the resolve not to make eX-
ira appropriations would endanger the
scheme Of economy which has been agreed
upon as absolutely necessary TO preserve
the citys credit
Let us regard II. therefore. not rs n
defeat for the public school system OF
Richmond, but as victory for municipal
reform. II may be now accepted as a
fact that during the life of this Council
no department OF city government will
be permitted to exceed in its expenditures
the exact amount allotted under the ap-
portionment. If the public schools can
not get an extra appropriation, no other
department can.

witty replies had already established
him as a favorite. He had N draw.

congratulated himself that this was at

on parade his horse SHE'D and threw him
with considerable force. When he re.
gained consciousness, he found that bis
