Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1899-07-18
PUT 'EM WHERE THEY'LL DO
MOST GOOD.

The Virginian-Pilot has repeated
said. and 1t desires to keep on iterating
and re-lterating, until the force and
meaning Of it is fully understood, that
in Virginia no amount of talking, writ
ing and organizing, or "resoluting,"
will result in any general road-reform,
or Improvement so long as the peo-
pie are told that there is no hope for
better roads without expending n great
deal of money, or going deeply in debt.
Either alternative settles it-and
against the roads; for the people well
know that expenditure or debt means
increased taxation upon them, and they
have definitely resolved not to vote any
such increase while the hard times con-
tinue. and they positively cannot af-
ford il.
What is the use of estimates of roads,
costing so many hundreds, or thousands
or dollars. with norid pictures of the
wealth they will bring our grand-chil-
dren. when we can hardly feed and
clothc ourselves and keep our lands
from the land-grabbers. and couldn't
build the roads At 4 dollar q mile, il
cash is required? The first thing to be
done is to disband the legislative lobby.
or put 1t to work on the public high
ways; make the same disposition of the
Convict-Labor Trust; and keep out Of
the Legislature all lawyers and others
who advise putting our convict-labor
to contract-labor. in competitor with
an honest industry. and then advise us
that the contractors have got us into
hole where We must remain forever
at their mercy. Assert our constitu-
tional and inalienable control. of all
convictS. whether OF peniten,iary. ja!l.
or other prison. ana put all the able
bodied ones 10 work on the roads un-
der any practical system. with over
soors 81 sense. enterprise and push who
Will develop the work and a system.
Then You may talk OF money. and even
% debt. 10 add to the efficiency OF the
policy but not before.
There is our salvation. There is our
deliverance. But we shall be kept from
them as long as we have a lobby. a
convict-labor trust, or n Legislature in :
terested in making money out of con-
vict-labor by turning it into contract
labor to compete with honest labor. to
pauperize and degrade it.

THEIR WAY OF DOING 1T.

The friends OF Senator Martin are
persons to vote for candidates in favor
of his election. and in order to
strengthen that candidates vote he is
TO say as little as possible about his
Senatorial choice. Now it is we'll known
that many friends of this paper have
been asked by their friends to vote and
work for Senator Martin. 1t is hard
for them to refuse their friends. None
of us know too well how to turn down"

prominent office holders, and may be

through these eloquent and popular
friends. Martin is making earnest APP
peals to the Norfolk people. His lead
ers here, by whose sides we have fought
the party's battles, hope to gain the
active, political vote and keep
home all others. We have fought
with them and recognize their
ability, and we honestly fear their
power, but we as deeply deplore the
side they have taken. Is it possible.
gentlemen. that you have forgotten Mfr.
Martins election. and the Indignation
of the people of Norfolk, that you come
so boldly now to ask them to forget all
and actually elect Mr.. Martin? Let
there be no hard feelings between us.
1t may be to the interest of some to
work for Mr.. Martin. while with us,
with no axe to grind, the fight will go
on good naturally: but with the de-
termination that the people shall know
and not forget the Legislature that
elected Mr.. Martin.
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1899-07-18
QUANTUM MERUIT.

"Quantum meruit" is an old legal
phrase. signifying, in the absence OF a
more definite bargain that 1.-The labor
er is worthy OF his hire" or must be
paid what he deserves. It has a wide
application, in law. to many things be-
sides labor, and in general means that
everyone is entitled to as much as he
merits. 1t is an excellent rule, if OBJ
served. or enforced; but, in practice,
one gets all he can. or takes what he
can get, and in either case this is US
ually more or less than the just rule
prescribes.
Yet it is a corollary of "honesty is
the best policy" and if we could only
live up to it. or be made TO do so, there
would be comparatively little wrong
and suffering among mankind-an OBJ
vious conclusion. that also carries with
1t the conviction that our own injus-
tice causes the most of the ills of this
existence: and that. according to Burns.
Mans inhumanity to man,
Makes countless thousands mourn"
Why cannot men form and operate
their trusts and combines on the laws
of honesty and mutual benefit? Surely
it is not impossible for gentlemen and
Christians to remember they are such.
even in business and the affairs of daily
life. Why not try it?
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1899-07-18
FIGHT THE FOE.

We rejoice over all real recruits, and
the Virginan- is not going TO
quarrel with any how best to fight Re-
publcans, so the fighting be vigorous,
and will not kick backwards so vio-
lently as to make it more dangerous to
Democrats than to Republicans. Fight
the enemy as YOU please but please
don't fight us about how we shall fight,
or exhaust our time and energies by
fomenting quarrels about it. Fight
fight fight! but fight the foe with
tooth. or toe-nail. or both. Pitch in!

This seems very curious to us. The
Virginian-P Pilot finds it in an editorial
of the Danvllle Register, usually well
up"
Polygamous marriage was not unlaw
full in Utah until it's admission to the
Union, and therefore polygamous mar
riages were not until that time unlaw-
full
AS q matter of fact, the Edmunds
law. or act. which made polygamy I'M
lawful. was enacted when Utah was .
territory; and il Utah had not been n
territory, the act would have been I'M
lawful and polygamy would have re-
mained lawful. The Federal govern
ment has no jurisdiction in any State
over such matters as marriage, and it
was only because Utah was n territory,
and only while she was a territory that
the Edmunds' law had any force.
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1899-07-18

tested in disgraceful emulation, OF the
FIGHTS that have occurred in other
States, we prefer now. while 1t Is not too
late. to express our approval of Gov
ernor Tyler for Senator and OF what he
represents. the people and their will;
the legislative "choice" being by and
for the people through their constitu
tional agents. Governor Tyler. at any
rate, has been nominated by the DEM
ocratic party of Virginia for Governor,
as high and responsible an Office as that
of Senator and that nomination was
ratified by a large majority of the Vir-
ginia people; and If hypercritcism OBJ
ject that he should waft until his term
OF Governor expire before seeking an
other office, let it be remembered that
this Senatorial election will not and
cannot wait. and that 1t involves Issues
of far more interest and Importance
than that of an unexpired term in
which an able and acceptable gentle
man (already elected by the people)
will succeed him,-while the people all
over the Commonwealth are urging
him in this matter TO vindicatc the
rights of our citizens and the interests
of the State against the insdious in
nuences which so myS;crously defeat

lar will six years ago.

allowing its repetition.

GOV. TYLER'S SENATORIAL CAM
DIDACY.

We are glad to see that even the
Richmond Times greets the candidacy
of Gov. Tyler for u. S. Senator with a
gracious welcome. without committing
itself, however. to the support of either
the Governor or Mr.. Martin, the pre.H
ent Senator. Says the Times:
The great question which will come
up will be the methods whereby Sena-
tors of the United States shall be cho-
sen. Whether by clique and by I'M
due influence of individual members of
the Legislature, or by the unbought aid
unpurchasable vote of members of the
Legislature who are honestly and faith
fully representing the true wishes of
their constituents or better yet by the
people themselves. 1t is this QUESTION
which will be agitated before the peo-
pie. and the interest which it will at
tract Will call pointed attention to the
methods adopted for nominating and
electing members of the Legislature in
every county of the State. The effect
of this will tend strongly to secure an
honest expression of public opinion I'M
biased by unworthy influences. This
Will give an opportunity TO both the
candidates to present their contest upon
lines which are consonant with the
honor of the State. and we hope and
believe that it will be n fair fight.
Such Il contest conducted i'm such n
way will mark the first great step to-
wards the restoration of pure and hon
orable politics in this Commonwealth
Governor Tyler is a man OF great and
widespread popularity. and Senator
Martin has unquestonably gained
many friends while ne was in the
United States Senate. The contest as
between the candidates will practically
have but ono subject for discussion and
that is that honest methods must pre-
vail IN the election of United States
Senators and no doubt both candidates
Will declare in favor of such methods
III any event the cause of honora Bile
politics In Virginia will be greatly ad-
vanced.
Governor Tyler is much to be COM
mended for undertaking such an ardu-
Gus task as this contest will impose
and nothing but n heavy pressure, we
believe. could have forced him into the
arena, where he knows he will meet an
alert antagonist thoroughly equipped
for the fray.
AS Mr.. Martin is generally regarded
as the product and representative of the
Clique" method. as we'll as OF the op-
position to the 'choice" Of Senators by
direct popular vote. the people must
be careful in choosing legislators.

a GIGANTIC RAILWAY TRUST.
From Wheeling Register.l

The Register has already outlined the
plan supposed to be contemplated by
the Vanderbilt and Morgan railroad in
terests and y. ]. Cassatt. of the Penn
sylvania system. whereby these three
kings of the railroad world will pool
their issues and divide up the railroad
territory of the United States into five
parts, each to be given over TO the abb
solue control of the group of railways
covering it. all these systems working
in harmony together. Talk of this
character has been floating about Wall
street for some time and the recent
acquisition by the New York Central of
the Boston and Albany has given it
fresh impetus.
The railroad interests involved are
gigantic. The Vanderbilt lines include
the New York Central. Lake Shore
Michigan Central. Boston and Albany,
Big Four. Northwestern, Omaha, Ere
mont and Elkhorn, Chesapeake and
Ohio and Delaware and Hudson.
The lines controlled by Pierpont Nor

small space. 1t says:
The gold Democratic" papers are

prematur criticisms OF either man may
make embarrassment hereafter

papers. according to their nature and
purpose. are much nearer the truth

likewise. it is their cue to howl down
the man who will be the real Demo-
cratic nominee. and they are doing that
too, with infallible discrimination. Only
thus they help Hanna, goldism, trusts
and monopoly and play fudge with
principles and their own souls. in hope
