APPLY THE REMEDY NOW.

Although the bill for the enlargement
OF the cell room at the penitentiary
which was passed by the Senate, went
into the House carrying the bur-
den OF an adverse report froSs
the committee of the lower branch to
which it was referred. we hope that 1t
will be taken up in the House and dis
cussed on its merits.
We cannot but think that II this is
done, and the urgency and the necessi-
ties of the case are set forth calmly and
clearly, the House will concur in the ac-
ton Of the Senate. We do not fail to
recognize that in pushing retrenchment,
the House is responding TO the demands
of the people. but we are satisfied that
the people do not want such retrench-
ment as would be involved in a failure
to enact the pententiary bill into a law
retrenchment that would perpetuate a
reproach upon the good name of the
state, and. at furthest only stave off the
Inevitable for a short time.
1t is as certain as anything human can
well be that the penitentiary must be
enlarged in the near future. AS we have
frequently said. every days delay in
creases the necessity for cell room. This
is true from the standpoint of humanity.
Of sanitation, and of good policy. 1t is
proposed that the money for the enlarge
ment shall come out of the future profits
of the penitentiary. AS bearing upon the
States financial problem, nothing would
be gained by putting off meeting the issue
two or even four years. 1t is. we think,
capable OF demonstration that no mea-
sure in the shape of a substitute for the
bill that has been introduced in either
house will afford the relief called for,
and which it seems to us clearly the
duty of the Legislature to afford. The
method OF relief contemplated in the bill
IS the result of careful study and thought
on the part of those thoroughly acquaint-
ed with the evils existing at the peni-
entiary. That method presents the only
practical remedy for these evils, and
sooner or later the remedy must be APP |
Piled. Why not apply it now? We be- |
ieve that the people would endorse that |
course as heartily as they will endorse |
he general retrenchment policy Of tho
House.

lines within the state Of Virginia, and
TO provide for the condemnation of rights
OF way therefor" is a measure Of great
Importance to this Commonwealth.
The effect OF the bill, II II becomes a
law during the present session of the
General Assembly, will be. we are re-

throughout this Commonwealth, and
the bringing OF additional reve-

out damage to any other telegraph
company, whose lines are already con-
structed. except, perhaps. in the diminu-
ton OF It's receipts by reason of the com
petition. The bill was carefully con-
sidered by the Committee on Propositions
and Grievances of the House of Dele

listened TO arguments for and against

NEGRO SUFFRAGE.

The Chicago Times-Herald. in an arti-
Gle on the Louisiana Constitutional Con
vention, says that northern silence in
regard to the virtual deprivation Of suf-
frage to the negroes in the South is the
concession that the sons of the recon-
structonists make to the sons OF those
upon whom negro suffrage was forced.
Negro suffrage, it adds, was the inevita-
bic results of the war;
The Washington Post takes issue
squarely with its Chicago contemporary
on this latter assertion. The enfran-
chisement of the negro, the Post de-
clares, was not the inevitable result Of
the war. Moreover, observes the Post
the fifteenth amendment was not a ne
cessity of the situation The sole pur-
pose of that amendment. continues the
Post was to insure the Republican party
a continuance of its hold on power and
the statesmen who led their party in the
preparation of that blunder knew that
the men who had just been emancipated
were utterly incapable of an intelligent
or safe use OF the ballot.
lie POST says Iufther, tnat the men
who perpetrated the negro suffrage blum
der knew that it was a crime against
both races, and that the most malignant
enemy of the white people of the South
could have advised no greater humilia-
ton, evaporation, and financial afiiction
for them than the scheme that put them
under the domination Of the ex-slaves,
led by rascally adventures.
Verify, the Post sizes up the question,
But 1t makes one mistake, and that is in
speaking of the malignants who perpe-
trated negro suffrage as statesmen. Their
blunder was not only criminal, but Boz /!
tian, in its stupidity.

PRESIDENT WILSON'S VIEWS.
The Recommendations Ideas
About Our Foreign Policy.

LEXINGTON, VA. February A.-(Spe-
cial.)-In HE Wednesday mornings ad-
dress to the University body, President
Wilson, commenting on the disaster to
the Maine, said that foreign affairs are
under our government conducted by the
Executive, and we had never had cause
to blush for its action in maintaining
our rights and our dignity. 1t was our
duty to await its Inquiry and report
mean while accepting as incredible any
theory which charged to a foreign gov
eminent an act which would be that of a
savage and a fool.
Among those who lost their lives en-
the Inflated Maine was Nicholas T.
Smith. Of Lynchburg. who was a half
brother to Mrs William r. Moore of
this place. Young Smith would have been
10 years of age had he lived until the
next day after the disaster. His body
was identified and buried at Habana He
had been an apprentice for three years.
GENERAL SHIP IMPROVING. {,
The condition Of General Ship, superin-
tendent of the Virginia Military Institute
is very much improved to-day, and there
are now hopes OF his ultimate recovery.
Quite an incident happened the other
night at the Washington Literary So
ciety celebration at the Washington and
Lee University. Some Of the boys at the
conclusion OF Student Powell's Grafton on
the "Liberty-Hall Volunteers" sent to
the presiding officer telegram, which
read: War has been declared with Spain.
Wanted. 100000 men like the Liberty-Hall
volunteers" (Signed) President Mckinley.
1t was read by the presiding officer TO
the audience, and with one accord the
audience gave vent to applause which
shook the building.

tation from the Committee Of Arrange |
