TuE LEGISLATIVE.

We must say, in all frankness, that We
watched the assembling Of the present
Virginia Legislature with the most serious
nisgivings. Populism had been 50 ram
pant in the State that we feared we
should have a very revolutionary body
IN the Capitol So far. however, the Leg
islaturo has not done very much to justify
our fears. and there is great reason 10
hope that its sessions viii come to an
end with nothing done that will cause
very serious mischief in the state. The
legislatures conservatism is. therefore,
almost demonstrated.
But while We cannot yet give its con-
eryatism an absolute endorsement because
the session is not quite ended, we can and
do give the good intentions. patriotism
and public spirit OF the body the heartiest
and most unqualified endorsement. The
Legislature is working away with fxee
resolve TO DO for the old State the very
best that ii is possible tor It TO 90.
Whether its efforts to reduce expenses viii
be successful or not. 10 man who has
watched its course can now doubt that
its sincerity is earnest In trying to meet
all Of Virginias obligations without in
creasing the burdens Of the people. IL IS
inspired with a very noble and patriotic
purpose TO have Virginia performing every
honorable obligation that rests upon her
while securing for our people every re,
lief that conditions can possibly give
them. we do not hesitate to say that in
good intentions and patriotism this Leg
stature will compare 4avorably with any
Legislature that has ever sat in our
Capitol
why. then should not body that is
Justly entitled TO every word we nave
said Of it rise to the fun importance or
its responsibilities and put Virginia abreast
Of the most advanced Commonwealth
10y declaring that she wants the very best
money. absolute freedom in banking so
that all Of her people may make what
ever use of their credit and resources
.hey have opportunity Tor and perfectly
free and fair elections 80 that the faint
and corruption that IS now spreading all
over the State may be arrested Come,
gentlemen, measure mp 20 your opportuni-
ties and declare 10 the world tnat you
intend TO have perfectly fair elections,
that you viii not tolerate tho thought OF
treating your railroads and industrial
combinations as public enemies, and tnat
YOU want the money OF the country TO be
the very best money. that You want All
OF the people given an opportunity TO
make the best possible use Of what they
have. and you will secure place in the
hearts OF your iellow-citizens that Jew
men have ever yet held.

popuLIsTs COMMEND A TRUST.

The Cotton Trust has again bobbed up.
SIR. Fred Turnbull has written to Gov
ernor Russell. OF North Carolina, inclos-
ing letter which he had previously writ
ten to Governor Boxham. OF Florida and
IN which he urged that the cotton plant
ers OF the South organize themselves
into a trust 20 fix and control the price
OF cotton.
lie proposes that q pool be formed and
that each planter contribute TO the pool
one dollar for each bale of cotton grown
by him in order that fund Of $1,000. 90
may be raised TO carry out the design OF
the Trust. The cotton when harvested
would be stored In the pool warehouses
and such advances as necessary made 20
planters. The central Office would be in
some Southern town and all sales
OF cotton would be made through that Of

NOW, sir" says the Trust organizer in
conclusion. "presuming that tho expenses
OF the pool are 100000 per anuum, IL
would leave a surplus OF s2So 900 900 for the

We had supposed that any man VINO
would dare make a Trust proposition TO
Governor Russell. OF North Carolina
would take his life in his own hands. But
strange to say the Governor did nothing
violent lie seems TO have taken the
proposition with perfect good nature ana
he turned the letter over TO the North
Carolina Progressive Farmer and anti
trust paper from whose columns we
have made the above synopsis Of the
Turnbull scheme. Surely, we thought,
the Progressive Farmer. which has never
failed 10 cry aloud against the Octopus

We quote from an editorial;
on the first page we print letter from
Hon. Fred. Turnbull TO Governor Russell
The plan which he advocates seems 10 be
a feasible one
OF course. Wall Streets minions and
those who have been getting rich on OF
Southern cotton growers will fight this
plan TO the bitter end. FOR IL means the
loss Of millions TO them and the gain or
millions for the farmers.
1t strikes us that with Southern farm
ers the time has come when patience
ceases to be a virtue. A crisis has come
"a time when something definite must be
accomplished.

gress will seriously consider Mr.. Turn

ZOLA'S TRIAL.

The scenes now transplring IN Paris
IN connection with the trial OF NJ Zola
would disgrace body Of Commanche IN
dams. If lola is innocent of the offence
with which he stands charged, then he
IS being prosecuted by a brutal and fero-
cious public sentiment that would de-
grade wild beasts. II he is guilty no
man can know it until is trial is COM
pleted, and II is next to impossible for
him TO have a fair trial with such scenes
enacted in and around the courthouse. as
have degraded France in the past few
days.
Take this Dreyfus matter in all its
parts and bearings from the beginning
until now, and nothing in Frances his
tory is more discreditable to her than it
Is. II Dreyfus is an innocent man. the
treatment that he is now receiving is the
greatest crime Of the century. II he is
guilty man, then the government should
show its hand, and let Frenchmen and
the world know the evidence that proves
his guilt. There are no considerations
OF State so important now as the evidence
that Dreyfus has not been unjustly con-
dcmned. The case has now passed far
beyond the borders Of ordinary affairs,
and tho good name Of France Is at stake.
Nothing can justify silence when that
Is the issue. Her reputation as a fair
dealing nation. that respects justice and
does her duty, is OF far greater import
anee to her and to Frenchmen than any
Information whatever that her enemies
misht secure by the fullest exposure of
tho facts Of this case.
