As TO WAIEIiW AVS.

An organization known as The Western
Waterways Association is to-day holding
n convention in Memphis, Tenn. The
object Of the association and Of this
particular convention is 10 bring 10 the
attention of Congress the Importance
OF constantly improving the navigable
waterways and adequately protecting the
banks and landings along Western
streams. The association appreciates
and the convention now in session fully
understands that it is only through con-
rerted action and a display OF tireless
energy that the aid Of Congress can be
secured in furthering the ends they have
in view For this reason the convention
is so timed as to produce the strongest
possible influence upon Congress. The
first session of Congress will open in less
than a month and then the measures
adopted by this association will be laid
before congressman fresh from the coun-
sells of the people interested in the rivers
and waterways of the Western slope.
Our Western friends are to be con-
graduated ON their promptness and timely
action. and We bespeak for them the best
and happiest results. But in the mean
time. what are we doing about Virginia
waterways, especially the noble James?
II we are to get any aid from the gov
eminent We must ask for it. and it is not
too soon to begin the asking.

THE "LAND-GRABBERS'" ACT
STANDS.

Judge Keith. Of the Supreme Court OF
Appeals. yesterday handed down a very
important decision Of the court in the case
Of the Virginia Coal Company against
John p Thomas.
The decision. which is the unanimous
opinion Of the court. afirms the consti-
tutionalitv of the delinquent land act,
common known as the "land-grabbers'
law" While the court decided only one
point. the only one brought to its atten-
ton. the opinion is sweeping and settles
for once and all the question OF the con-
stitutionalitv of the act. The court de-
cides that the act is constitutional and
must stand as the law Of the land unless
repealed by the Legislature that will as
semble next month.
There has been a hue and cry against
this so-called land-grabbers' act. and here
and there. perhaps. a member of the in
coming Legislature owes his nomination
and election to his avowed opposition TO the
law. II is not improbable therefore. that

will hardly pass. for it has been demon

its rigid enforcement wrought hardships
in some cases. It is a Just law and has re-
suited in great benefit to the Common
wealth.
II the law has been properly enforced
since It has been on the statute books.
and there is ample evidence that it has
been. its most Objectionable feature. that
is to say the feature that has caused the
outcry against It. is practically obsolete
and the future effect can only be to make
every citizen pay his taxes promptly. This
is what every citizen ought to do without
being compelled 10 by rigid law, but the
fact is. as the books in the county treas
urers Offices abundantly show. a great
number OF citizens neglected their duty
