THE VIRGINIA BANKERS
Listen to An Address by Secretary of
the Treasury Gage.

Richmond, Va, February 22.-The feature
of the annual meeting of the Virginia

Mr.. Gage.
Mr.. Alexander Hamilton, of Petersburg,
responded on behalf of the visitors. Mr..
Gage in his address followed very much
the line of his last annual report. He ar
gued against the greenbacks and the feat
ures of the present financial system that
tended to congest money In the great CEN
tiers of population. In conclusion he said:
-'Some who oppose the ideas here enun-
ciated charge me with speaking with the
bankers view. AS a banker l have never

sued a note to circulate as money. The
reason for not doing so was the fact, al

where my life as a banker has been passed,
all the credit facilities needed by that COM
r1unity were substantially supplied through
a book account, checks and drafts and
bills of exchange. A reform will come, I
have no doubt. The evolutionary movement
to which all the improvements in society
can be traced, was violently interrupted by
the Intervention of government papers,
money and the prohibition of bank note
issues. That we will eventually return to

p VICTORY FOR DREYFUs.
May be Declared Innocent Without a
New Trial.

Paris, February 22.-The Soir announces
that NJ Manau, the procurateur-general.
will submit his report on the Dreyfus at
fair next week. The report will ask the
court of cessation, 1t Is said, to annul the
conviction without ordering retrial
If this be correct, 1t shows that the evil
dence before the court not only proves
Dreyfus innocent, but that the crime for
which he was punished never existed, as
the French law allows the court of cassa-
tivu to quash a sentence without retrial
only when there Is proof that the offense
alleged was never perpetrated.

PASSAGE OF THE COUNTY BILL.

Because the friends Of the county reform
bill were persistent. alert and jealous, it
was passed by the House yesterday after
noon by a vote of 80 to IS. 1t is the more
important of the measures for the reform
of local government, and was fought with
greater desperation than the others. The
bill has had several close calls, but be-
cause of the courage and tact of Speaker
Littleton it was rescued from its foes in
ambush. No man is entitled to more credit
for the passage of the bill than the speaker.
The Journal is g%ratifed because it is able
to say this, as Mr.. Lttleton was hastily
criticised early in the session. The measure
had many stalwart friends upon the floor.
Among its most untiring champions were
Messrs. Artman, Blankenship. Caraway,
Huff, Noel and Shideler. Two men canno
present a greater contrast in their methods
of warfare than Messrs. Artman and Blank
enship, but each in his WI way gave as
persistent and effective support to the county
bill as men coulG give to a good measure.
Credit is due to the four Republicans who
on the decisive vote listened to the appeals
Of their associates and became supporters
of the bill, namely, Mr.. Baker of Martin,
and Messrs. Murphy and Strong, of Marion.
Mr.. Holcomb Joined his party after the
battle was won. On the final vote Mr..
Knots. Of Lake. deserted his party and a
good cause and Joined the enemy.
Every effort was made by Mr.. Eichhorn
and the Democratic leaders to compel their
associates to vote against the bill. In this
they succeeded with two notable exceptions
-Messrs. Null and Titus. They had the cour-
age to stand the pressure, but ten or a dozen
others who declared in favor of the bill
were forced into line. When the Legislature
met Mr.. Eichhorn was said to be in favor
of the reform bills, but for some cause he
changed his mind and led an uncompromis-
ing fight upon a reform which he has in
published statements admitted to be much
needed and much desired by the taxpayers
of the State. He and his associates might
have shared the credit Of the passage Of
this measure as have Democrats in the
Senate. Instead of supporting a bill framed
largely by men who are Democrats, Mr..
Eichhorn practically accepted the dictation
Of such Democrats as George M. Ray.
The passage Of the county bill by the
House is a telling victory for clean business
methods in local government. 1t will place
the management Of county affairs upon a
higher plane and relieve it from the stigma
% uae+afnlness and sordid practices.

day any interference. direct or indirect, to
defeat what are known as the township and
county reform bills. His statement takes

of Indiana which have enjoyed a large share
Of the business because they have active
agents who reside within the State. In this
county, under the last Democratic regime,
it was a notorious fact hat an Ohio COM
pany was paid nearly doubl for supplying

than half the amount paid the foreign con-

Mr.. Faris then proceeded to the fourth

"That the whole business between the
United States and the Philippines is wrong;
that the capitalists Of this country are at

brough asserts. in view Of the instances Of
the building Of bridges in the face Of the
protests Of the people IN several counties
which have been reported to the commission
which drew the county bill. to committees
and in the public press. one batch of half
a dozen such contracts were made in Shelby
county. the details OF which were so no
torious that they were denounced in a pub
lie meeting.
In the same connection the chairman Of
the Republican state committee. in speak
management which had been reported to
him, is accused Of being reckless" because,
directly after the election, he said, with
these complaints before him, that bridge
companies. doubtless meaning their agents,
were the cause OF no little of the extrava-
gance, not to say corruption, in county ex-
penditures, by inducing weak commissioners
to build bridges when they were not needed
and pay a round sum for tkem.
What Mr.. Kimbrough means by the
~'band-wagon'' press the Journal is at a loss
to understand. The Republican editors in
Indiana have not waited for any ''band
wagon when resolute service was needed.
When the frstwave of the silver heresy, in
1895. threatened to engulf the State the Re
publican press, without party platform or
dictation, went into the fight for sound
money as a body and turned the tide back.
In 1896 it was this same press that met
and checked the silver assault weeks before
the national or state organization was pre-
pared for the conflict. The Republican press
in Indiana, more than any other instrument
tally, won the people to the theory of that
protection which underlies the prosperity Of
the great manufacturing interests Of the
country. AS to Mr.. Johnson, the Republican
press would be unworthy of the name if it
did not protest against his scurrilous and
unfounded charges affecting the personal
integrity Of a President whose public career
Of a quarter of a century is without faint.
Is 1t not possible that Mr. Kimbrough
should be included In the list of those guilty
OF reckless" observations in his wholesale
onslaught upon the Republican press as be-
Ing of the band-wagon variety?

LOBBY REGULATED.

Col. Harry B. Smith, auditor Of this coun-
ty and treasurer of the County officers
Association. makes the gratifying statement
in an interview in the News that the associa-
ton has not contributed a cent to defeat
the reform bill and that its members are not
opposed to It. He makes the further state
ment that the newspapers know that there
is not a county officers lobby about the
Statehouse. The Journal has had three or
four men about the Statehouse making In
quiries regarding the opposition to the re-
form bill and discovered that persons as
Stunning to belong to an executive commit
tee of the County Officers Association were
laboring to defeat the bill. The following
letter was sent out TO county officers,
signed by VIII Yakey, chairman, and j. b.
Workman, secretary of the executive COM
mittee of the County Officers Association:

Let me known how your county likes 1t.
The presence of these men and the fore
going letter led the Journal to believe that
the association, through it's committee, was
opposing all of the reform bills. AS the
letter was not repudiated by officers of the
association or members of it, it was a fair
assumption that the lobby, which embraced
Yakey and Workman and had the services OF
the very conspicuous George NJ. Ray as
manager, was supported by the county off,
GERS, or part of them. 1t is possible that
there are two associations. or that the per-
sons who sent out the foregoing circular
letter are working on their own account.
1t has never been charged that the Marion
county officers were opposing the bills, and
as a matter Of simple justice the Journal is
glad to say that they did not.
The Journal is glad TO know Of this re-
pudiation of those who nave used the name
of the association. There was nothing in
the bills of which honorable county officers
could complain. but much that commissions
ers and others who practice addition, divi-
sion and silence could object to. Even
now it would be wise for the officers really
representing the association TO repudiate
the men who have been sending out letters
like the one which has been quoted.

SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE
ABOUT 81 FILIBUSTERs START FROM
KANSAS CITY, MO.
Supposed to BE En- Route to Central

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. N.-The first
detachment of the hlibustering expedition
organized here for an invasion Of Central
America, left Kansas City at 1920 O'Clock
tonight. The soldiers Of fortune numbered
about $50 and were provided for in four
special coaches, which were attached to the
regular south-bound passenger train on the
Kansas City, Fort Scott e. Memphis road.
William G.. Thompson, former captain of
Company d, Fifth Missouri Volunteers, was
in command. On the same train, as regu-
lar passengers, were Captain George p.

souri, Volunteers; Captain A.. M. Casey, late
of Company NJ, Third Missouri, and Z. A.

The flibusters expect to take ship at
Mobile or New Orleans, though on this point
the majority of them have not been fully
advised, and at the port of embarkation
they expect to be Joined by other detach-
ments from st. Louis, Chicago and other
cities. 1t is now known beyond question
hat the men composing this expedition ex-
pect to see fighting In Central America. Re
ports as to their destination have been con-
fiicting, both Guatemala and Honduras hav-
ing been mentioned. but men who are lead
ers in the adventure have secretly informed
their friends that the real destination is
Nicaragua. The men e~nlisting have been as
sured that the invaders have good backing
and have been told that capitalists OF
national prominence are furnishing the
money to equip, transport and arm the eX-
petition. Whatever the destination the men
are said to have been promised rich re-
wards in lands and concessions.

ciared to-day tina the men had been hired
to work on a railroad. Major Warner, United
States district attorney, and United States
Marshal Durham investigated the affair to-
day, but when the band started South to-
night both declared that they had discovered
nothing to warrant the arrest of the alleged
invaders. They nave advised the Wash

his government and the Honduran consul at
