The free lance. (Fredericksburg, Va.) 1885-1926, 1899-12-09

This Legislature Of Virginia will
have the opportunity Of doing the
State good service and we hope that
the opportunity will not be unimproved.
First O word Of caution. The State q
finances are in good condition, and it ls
reported that attempts will be made
from various sections TO raid the treas
nry. This must be guarded against.
Il 10 o very simple matter to convert q
surplus into deficiency. We believe
that IL is quite possible for the Legis-
lature still further TO cut down the ex-
psnses Of government without any
way injuring the public service. and
where such retrenohment can be made
ft should be made without reference to
politics or sentiment.
The foregoing timely utterances from
the Richmond Times should be echoed
by the State press. Perhaps the most
suggestive word Of warning as showing
the sptness Of the observation Of the
Times, is to be found in its news COL
umns Of the same day that the fore
going editorial appeared. Ii is from

The Fredericksburg Free Lance need
not have gone to the trouble TO write to
q Kansas politician to ascertain whether
the Fusionists Of Kansas prefer William
J. Bryan to John W. Daniel as Presi-
Dental nominee In 1900. We could
have answered that question in this
office quite as accurately as il has been
answered by the politician TO whom
The Free Lance applied. Nobody has
ever suspected that the Fusionists OF
Kansas. who are all Populists by what.
ever name they may call themselves.
were really In favor OF nominating
Major Daniel over Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Bryan is the idol Of the Populists In
Kansas and elsewhere, and they would
rather vote for him than for any man
In the United States. That Is a fact
which may as we'll be accepted and
which we readily concede.
In suggesting the candidacy OF Major
Daniel, Of Virginia, The Times did not
address Its remarks to the Populists OF
the country. We spoke to Democrats
and 10 Democrats only, and we believe
that the Democrats Of the country,
North. South, East and West, prefer
Daniel to Bryan.
And yet, not only The Times. but the
Dispatch republished statement, which
first appeared in as pronounced a Re-
publican paper as the Kansas Oity
(Missouri) Journal, that Daniel, and
not Bryan. was desired as the next
Democratic candidate for the Presi.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.
DELINQUENT LAND TAX.


"There has been widespread dis
cussion and dissatisfaction concerning
the act of the last Legislature provid-
| ing for the sale of the delinquent lands
| of the State. The measure has been
found TO work hardship in some OF its
| features and in that respect should be
amended. but at the same time suitable
| provision should be maintained for COL
| lectinR the taxes due the State. And
as under the harsh measure already
passed. which we must admit was bet
ter than no law at all on the subject,
the greatest hardships have already
been passed through by the citizens Of
| the State. and 80 far as that law Is
concerned the principal harm has al
ready been done.
PENITENTIARY AND HOSPITALS.
The penitentisry has been carefully
and successfully managed. and has con.
tributed to the State Treasury the net
sum in two years OF $76, 105.
There will be- necessity for some
measure to be adopted to relieve the
crowded condition Of the State hospi-

parties who are demanding admission
