A law under which a respectable negro

That IS the position Of every Southern

IT IS NO CRIME TO BE POPULAR.

In renlv TO our claim that The Times
never assumes any position as bid for
patronage, the Danvine Register says:
There is tone Of mild reproach about
the above paragraph that hurts The Reg
lister. for il would not be thought unap-
nreciative OF Independent and conscien-
tious newspapers that will not bid for
patronage" We have too often pondered
the problem of difference Of opinion 10
conclude quickly that II is feigned when
fl startles us. To our way of thinking
tho benefits of trusts 10 labOring men
as set forth by The Times are as utterly
far-fetched and strained and fictitious
and even ridiculous that II seemed al
most charitable 10 think IL was trying 10
tickle" the working man. We cannot
charge The Times generally with being
demagogic The Times perhaps thinks
argument against the trusts is dema-
gogic But may it not be that paper
mental vice TO forget what is popular IS
not necessarily false3
we are very slow to impeach any mans
motive. We try very hard TO follow the
good old doctrine of Dr. watts What
mercy il to others show, that mercy

accord to others the same honesty of
purpose that we claim for The Times.
We do not denounce a man as a dema-
gogue simply because he happens 20
be on the popular side. But when man
is always and persistenty on that side
Of every public question. when he always
runs with the crowd and leads in the
popular cry when he changes his prin-
ciples every time the crowd changes,
we cannot help suspecting that such a
man had rather be popular than be
right
our friend OF the Register is not the

A NEW SETTLERS VIEW OF vIR-
GINA.

IN taking our walks abroad the other
dav we met a farmer from Michigan
who has recently purchased a farm a
few miles distant from Richmond and
will hereafter make his home in Vir-
ginla. lie inquired as 10 the schools OF
Richmond saying that he had son who
wanted to study FOR the ministry and 10
appeared himself to be man Of educa-
ton. We were interested 10 know what
had Induced him to sell out in Michigan
and move TO this State. and in reply to
a polite question, he said that the climate
OF Michigan was so severe that he and
his family could not stand II and 80 had
determined to move to the South. lie
added that others OF his neighbors had
also come to Virginia and had taken up
lands in the county OF Amelia.
We mention ,ms incident as showing
what the newspapers OF Virginia have
contendod for so long time, that there
is a disposition on the part Of the farmers
of the Northwest to seek a more genial
CLINE in Virginia. and that with proper
effort desirable settlers from that section
may be brought here. This man APP
poared 70 be thrifty. and as We have
said. educated 1t came out during his
conversation that ne had paid as much
as so an acre for his land. He explain
ed that he preferred to purchase good
lands and pay a higher price than TO take
up tie cheaper lands and have TO wait
for years to improve them.
lie seemed quite pleased with his new
home with the exception Of tho roads
which he declared to be among the worst
he had ever seen. He said that he
would have Joined his friends IN Amelia
but for the fact that the roads in that
county were so bad that it seemed 10
him almost impossible TO get his pro
duce to the railroads from the point
DESIGNATED We can We'll imagine how
farmer who has been accustomed 70 the
good roads Of Michigan would be ap
nailed al the roads Of Southsde Yir-
einia during this season Of the year.
Surely this ought 10 bring the people Of
Virginia to reelection. We cannot hope
ia build up as we should. and as we are
entitled by our resources to grow, so
long as the roads Of Virginia continue
in their present wretched condition.
We have said. and we think that the
nroof is 10 be found in this incident,
that tho lands Of Virginia would be en-
HANGED in value 50 per cent, u not more
II we had a system Of good macadamiz-
ed roads throughout the length and
breadth OF the State The county OF
Amelia has lost at least ono valuable
settler by reason Of its bad roads and
wa have no doubt that those citizens OF
Michigan who have settled there would
have been willing TO pay much more for
their lands If they had found in Amelia
good roads to market
This Is to-day one of the most serious
questions OF material character before
tAe people of Virginia. 1t is strange IN
deee that our people viii subscribe lib
orally TO railroad building and yet are
unwilling TO tax themselves a few dol
lars to build W nd keep in repair

The railroads are necessity 70 be
sure. but not more so to the growth and
development of any community than
wagon roads. We sull have hopes how
ever. that the people will learn this for
themselves before long

EQUAL AND UNIFORM TAXATION.

One OF our Virginia exchanges, which
is so much opposed TO the new delin-
queat tax law that Il prefers 20 see the
State lose fits delinquent taxes rather
than that the Gland grabbers" should
collect their fees, strange 10 say uses as
an argument the existing law that taxes
must be made equal and uniform.
That is just the reason why
we are in favor Of the delinquent
tax law. We do not believe that one
man should be made 20 pay his taxes
promptly every year and another be
permitted TO put the State off for sew
eral years TO suit his own convenience
Surely that ia not equal and uniform
taxation that Is taxtion for some and
exemption for others. and We are OPP
posed TO all such Determinations.
We believe that each man should
shoulder his just portions Of the burdens
Of State. and we are in favor OF making
each would-be delinquent toe the mark.
As we have said before In our opinion
tho most serious defect Of this new de-
linquent tax law IS that It does not reach
those who are delinquent on their per-
sonal estates. We are quite satisfied
that II taxation in Virginia could be
made equal and uniform-if every pro-
perty owner in Virginia could be made 20
pay his just taxes-the tax burden would
be lighter. the tax rate would be reduced.
1t is surprising TO US that our contem-
poraries have shown such sympathy
with the delinquents and no sympathy
whatever with those who pay their taxes

TIE STAUNTON VETERANS.

The Stonewall Jackson Camp, G. v, o.
staunton. recently adopted some resolu-
tions with reference TO the pensioning
Of Confederate veterans. which have the
true Confederate ring. and Of which We
heartily approve They declare that the
survivors Of the Confederate Army, while
contributing to taxes for many years to
the support OF soldiers homes Of the
Federal Government, have never enter
tanned the least expectation OF sharing
in the benefit: would scorn 10 ask it. and
would also decline to avail themselves Of
it. If offered
These Confederates put themselves on
record that the South Will not only take
care Of the graves OF tho dead, but will
also provide for the worn-out veterans
who are yet alive, and they will never
transfer these sacred trusts 20 others.
We believe that this IS the sentiment Of
the Southern people generally Tor our
part. as we have from the first said we
are unwilling that the men who fought the
south's battles shall eat of the crumbs
that fall from the table Of the Northern
veterans. We ask no favors. and the
efforts Of politicians OF the Butler stripe
to put the South in that attitude will
be discountonanced.
