TOBACCO FOR THE SOLDIERS.

Recent dispatches from Cuba confirm
the opinion, more than once expressed by
the Dispatch hat in five cases out of six
the best sort Of present TO send soldier
in the he,i Is tobacco. It is stated that
our heroec in the neighborhood Of San
tlago have plenty TO eat. but are really
suffering for tobacco. Yes; suffering for
tobacco. while there are thousands of
cases and hogsheads stored in our facto-
ries and warehouses.
Really the government ought to issue
rations of tobacco, or Communication there
for. but until Congress orders that to be
done our boys will have to buy their own
smokes, unless their friends at home keep
them supplied.
At any rate, 1t would be an everlasting
shame If the people of Virginia and North
Carolina failed to provide tobacco for
their sons and brothers. With us the
weed" is plentiful. and it is the best in
the world. Then, let not our ladies fritz
ter their time away making pajamas or
other useless things for our men, but buy
or beg tobacco and forward 1t to the en-
campments of our regiments wherever
they may be- Small packages may be
readily sent by mail. Large packages
should go by express.
A recent disquisition OF ours upon the
sweetness and sociableness of the Powha-
tan pipe has had much vogue with our
newspaper exchanges. and now we are
reminded to recommend that with SOL
diers' tobacco should go a supply of good
pipes. Brier-root or clay pipes, either,
will do. The former is TO be preferred on
some accounts; the latter on other ac-
counts. The brier-root is not easy to
break: but on the other hand, the Pow
hatan can be thoroughly cleansed by put
ting 1t in the hot ashes of the nearest
campfire.
As for pipe-stems. they are to be found
on every hand in the cane-brakes OF
Florida and Cuba. So you needn't bother
about sending your soldier friends stems!
Just send them plenty of good tobacco
and brier-root or old Virginia Powhatan
ppe-not one OF those cheap clay pipes
that crumble to pieces as soon as you try
to stick stems into them.
But we must not forget TO say that the
chewing habit is not yet extinct, and in
some cases chewing tobacco would be
more acceptable to soldiers than smoking
tobacco. And II you don't know in what
form your friend prefers his tobacco.
why buy him cut-plug of moderate
strength, and it viii do for smoking or
chewing, either. Or the tobacco you send
may be traded off advantageously. To-
bacco was long legal tender in Virginia.
and II is still good enough currency in
camps.

SCHOOL ROCKS.

There are several considerations that
ought to influence the judgment OF our
state Board Of Education when 1t comes
to make up the list of books, the use
OF which will be permitted in the public
schools of Virginia.
With the view OF enlightening the board
with the best opinion on the subject,
representatives of our educational system
have collected much Information from
various sections OF the State, and from
persons who are qualified TO speak ad-
yisedly. A mass OF testimony has thus
been accumulated, but we know nothing
OF It's details. We have no information
upon the question further than that va
rious committees will report upon vari-
Gus branches OF the subject Thus the
board will have before II valuable expert
testimony concerning the popularity OF
the books now in use, and the desirability
Of making changes.
In advance of this evidence, we are
not prepared to say whether the board
ought or ought not 10 make an exclusive
adoption of one set OF books for each
grade, or should continue the present
system. which allows each county and
city school-board 10 select from list
the books thereon that II likes best.
But this much we are prepared 10 say.
that in every case the board should give
preference TO books that are published
In this State--other things being equal!
We do not ask that an inferior book
DO put on the list simply because 1t Is
published in Virginia. BY no means. but
We do say that where other things are
equal our State ought TO favor the books
that are the productions OF our own
authors and publishers.
There are a number OF excellent school,
books now published in Virginia. The
authors work and the publishers wcsS
both are good. We. therefore, hope that

general receipts on account OF costs.

ITO insure the passage Of the bill with
the Involuntary feature retained nune-
rous concessions were made to the south
crn and far western men. who Fought

merely making the Federal courts a
debt-colecling agency. Proceedings IN
Involuntary proceedings may now be In
stitutcd as follows: Where a debtor has
transferred his property with intent TO
dcsraud. Where he has transferred IL 10
certain creditors with the intent on
making them preferrcd. Where ho has
given a preference through legal proceed
ings Where he has made voluntary
assignment for the benefit OF his credi-
tors generally. Where he admits in
writing that he Is a bankrupt.
The debtor Is fully protected against
prosecution, inasmuch as he cannot be

was probably the most distinct conces-
sion made TO the congressional malcon-
tents, although the text OF the bill In full
is not before us.
As We have said, the bill now in the
Presidents hands is necessarily an i'm
perfect measure because IL Is a bald com
compromise. Nevertheless, while II pro-
tects the creditor in a far greater degree
than he has ever been protected before,
Il will yet, according TO Senator Hoar,
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Judiciary. enable from 10000 10 10000
bankrupts TO get on their feet again by
reason Of its liberal terms Of discharge.
Unqualified success in operation cannot
be predicted for any measure which be-
comes q law by so circuitous n route as
this ono mas taken But amendment
where this may be shown 10 be desirable.
will be easier because OF this conference
agreement. Meanwhile, the new law
must be regarded as a positive triumph
for the strictest integrity in American
commerce and banking. which has made
so long and so able a fight for the right.
BY the way, one OF last weeks issues
Of the CT Dgressional Record contained the
act in full; it appearing there as the re-
port of the Committee of Conference.
We suppose copies OF the Record may
be obtained by writing to any one of our
Senators or Representatives.

NEWPORT NEWS. VA, June 3e-(Spe-
cial)-The walters at the ChamberlIn
Hotel are having a high time to-day.
Last night they struck. alleging that
the new steward recently employed does
not allow them enough TO eat. The story
as told this morning by one of the strik-
ers Is as follows AT supper last evening
one OF the walters yentured, while en-
tering the dining-room, TO taste the food
in the tray he carried. The steward
sharply reprima nded him and demanded
OF the head waiter that he be discharged.
The demand was turned down In terms
which led the steward 10 complain to
Manager Campbell. Instead OF requiring
the head waiter to discharge the Offend
ing waiter, Manager Campbell told him
TO complain at the Office II the walters
were not given enough TO eat. But this
did not satisfy the steward, who in
sisted that the head waiter should be re-
quired 20 obey his orders. Upon hearing
this tbs entire force took on their aprons
and left the hotel. The bell boys were
called TO take their places and things
went on fairly well until the meal was
finished,
There will be serious complications In
this city tomorrow In consequence OF
the failure of the government TO supply
the city with revenue stamps OF all de-
nominations. The banks will have them
in small quantities for their patrons.
but only one denomination will be
handled by them-2 cents for use on
checks and drafts. There will be no
cent stamps for telegraph messages and
no stamps Of higher denominations for
bills of iading. custom-house entries. and
clearances. As the export business with
foreign countries and the bunker coal
trade with foreign ships Is very heavy
here this neglect on the part OF the Urea
sury will cause considerable delay. The
post -ofiice viii not handle any stamps
and the custom-house Is not authorized
TO do so. The bankers seem TO think
there will be grave complications when II
Is found that business will have to be de-
layed In many branches.
