WITH THE Virginia legislature, a.
with Congress, there is no end of max
ing laws. the members vainly imagin'
ing that they must do something to
earn their salaries. That there are
plenty both ofVirginia and national laws
no man at all informed upon the subject
entertains doubt, but still the legisla'
ture andCongress continue to grind them
out by the hundred. The last session
of the former body passed no less than
1926 of them. The fact is there are SO
many laws that even the lawyers them
selves are lost in the midst OF their
confounding numbers.

Mr.. GAGE, Secretary of the Treas
ury, made speech in Cleveland, Ohio
last night, in which he said the fight
for free silver will have to be fought
over again tv years hence. Why, OF
course, it will, and most people OF
common sense know that, and many Of
them said so, two years ago. Whether
right or wrong, six and a half million
voters of this country demanded that
the effect Of free silver coinage be sub
mitted to practical tes-, and thereby
end the uncertainty, and consequent
business depression, attending it, and
why their demand was not complied
with then, is what the boilers know
better than any body else.

GOVERNOR LEEDY of Kansas says the
increase in the army is not for con-
dict with foreign foe, but to put down
strikes and to enforce government by
injunction. No matter what it may be
for, with an army of one hundred and
four thousand men at his absolute dis
posal, the President of the United
States would have a great deal more
power than many of the crowned heads

FIFTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Mar. 10.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 10.
SENATE.
The Senate was not in session to-day.
HOUSE.
At the opening of the session of the
House to-day Mr.. Dingley offered the
bill reported from the ways and means
committee providing for the free entry
into this country of guns, ammunition
and other naval supplies and war ma
terial purchased abroad until January
], 1898. He explained that the COM
mittee had unanimously reported the
bill. 1t was asked for by the Secreta-
ries of War and Navy.
Some of the democrats undertook to
poke fun at MIR. Dingley by asking him
why these supplies should be admitted
free of duty if the foreigner paid the
tax"
Mr.. Dingley replied rather sharply
thatit was perfectly understood that
where articles were purchased abroad
and imported, the purchaser paid the
duty.
"This is bill TO indemnity the tax
payer" observed Mr.. Dockery.
Mr.. McMillin said he believed that
the government should always have
the right to import and he thought
there should be general statute for
that purpose. The bill was passed
without division.
Mr.. Henry claimed the floor as q
question of personal privilege and sent
to the clerks desk, for the purpose of
having it read to the House, quote
ton from an interview with the SPANS h
ambassador at Vienna contained in an
Associated Press dispatch, in which the
ambassador said that if the United
States, in the event of war, should in
cite the Philippines to revolt, Spain
could revenge herself by raising revolts
in the American southern states.
Before the reading of the interview
was concluded Mr.. Dingley made the
point that il did not constitute a ques,
ton of privilege.
"It contains reflection against por.
ton of the people of tine Uoited States
which / desire to repel," said MIR.
Henry.
But the Speaker held that he had not
presented question OF privilege and he
was taken of the floor.
The House then went into committee
of the whole and resumed consideration
Of the postoftice appropriation bill.
The debate was rather lively. Mr..
Bland championed reduction of the
rates paid the railroads for transmit
ting the mails. The rates on all other
classes of freight had been greatly re-
duced since 1873 yet there had been no
reduction in 20 years. He thought
there should be reduction of at least
20 per cent.
The chairman of the postoffice COM
mittee pointed out the fact that all
such amendments as that of which Mr..
Bland had given notice had been ruled
out on points of order in past Con-
gress es.

THE Governor of South Carolina is
IN favor of war with Spain, and says
he will not only send fifty thousand
men to such war, hut will load them
himself. South Carolina brought on
the war between the States, but the
experience of that war should certainly
be sufficient to moderate her ardor for
another one, at least for the present.
General Wade Hampton of that State
has had enough of war, and says the
South has, to last it many day.

THE NEGRO preachers of Washington
are now denouncing Judge Bradley OF
that city Tor saying, when he sentenced
a brutal negro murderer to be hanged
recently, he didn't know whether
lynching wouldn't BIO the better pun
ishment for such wretches." Some OF
the human race are positively devilish,
and the sooner they are relieved Of
their mortal existence the better, not
only for every body else, but for them
selves also, and those who would hin
der that relief are not humanitarians.

CoLoRED CHURCH TRoUBLE.-Be-
cause Rev. P. F. Morris, pastor of the
leading colored Baptist church OF
Lynchburg, voted the democratic ticket
in the municipal election last spring q
number of members of his congregation
are endeavoring TO depose him. AS a
result of a difficulty originating from
the contention David Butler, leading
member of the church, has been SEN
fenced to sixty days in Jail. He took
an appeal, and in the Corporation Court
will probably have Senator Daniel for
his counsel, Buffers father having been
an old servant of the Daniel family.
Yesterday Rev. Morris and some $50
members of his congregation asked for
sn injunction from Judge Christian to
restrain Butler and his followers from
any further interference in matters coz
nected with the church. The Judge
will give decision to-day.

Destroyed by Fire at Atlantic City.

Atlantic City, n. j., October 8.-The
most costly block of amusement build
ings and stores on the beach front was
destroyed by fire this morning within
two hours of the time the fire broke
out. Twenty buildings, occupied by
about fifty business establishments,
were burned, and a half dozen families
were rendered homeless. The loss is
estimated at 100000.
For a time the fire threatened to get
beyond the control of the local fire de-
partment, and assistance was asked
from Camden and Philadelphia. An
hour later two steamers reached here
from Camden, but the request for the
engines from Philadelphia was can
celled before they had been placed on
the train.
The burned district covers the block
York avenues and from Ocean avenue
to the beach front In the confines of
the block were located two large
merry go-rounds valued at $4,000
