CONSTITUTIONAL. BUTABADLAw.

II has been argued time and again by
the defenders Of the Virginia election
law that it + a good law because the
Court Of Ap. eals Of Virginia has declar-
ed it TO be constitutional
We call the attention Of these gentle
men to the interesting fact that the
Court Of Appeals has just declared that
the deliquent tax statute enacted by the
last Legislature. imposing a penalty OF
s. upon each delinquent land owner is
constitutional and that the penalty must
be enforced.
But do the people of Virginia believe
that that is a good law, that that law
is all right because the court has declared
It to be constitutional? We pause for re-
ply.

lrNot ImnerraIism. Then What {?

Editor of The Times?
Sir,-lf 1 have correctly apprehended
the views of The Times, touching the
future policy of the United states IN
dealing with the Spanish Colonies, which
shall come into the possession Of this
country, they are wise and statesman
like, Briefly stated, they are as follows:
You would have this country enter upon
no policy of conquest and territorial ag-
grandlzement but you would have II
shrink from no duty which 1t owes to
humanity, freedom and civilization. The
United States should free these untortu-
nate people nom Sapnish misrule and
oppression. IL should protect them from
conquest BY any other power IL should
prevent anarchy, establish order and
maintain peace throughout their borders.
IL should guide and direct the people OF
all these colonies into the paths of peace
ful development and III them as rapidly
as possible FOR the duties or self-goyern-
ment. And so soon as they may be suin-
ciently advanced in education, self-con-
troll and civilization 70 maintain govern
ments OF their own, we must give them
absolute independence.
TO my wind this seems a wise solu-
ton of the great problem wnlch Is De
fore us. But 1 wish 10 ask The Times
10 give its readers a little lght upon
the views Of those who are denounclns
imperialism" expansion and the Ike
while carefully refraining from express
ing any opinion as 20 what the POhcy
of this country should be. II Mr.. W D.
Bryan and Mr.. Cleveland wish 10 lhhu-
ence men who take the trouble TO think,
ana who wear no party collar they must
offer some definite idea. They must tell
us what we ought 10 do, and let us
hear less about what we ought not TO
do. Their denunciation OF those who hold
tho conservative ideas set forth by The
Times. seems 10 me out Of place ana
puts them IN the position Of mere kiekers.
