State Finances.

Second Auditor Ryland's annual
report for the fiscal year ended Sep
TENDER 80, which covers the condi-
ton of the public debt, the literary
funds, and the report of the sinking
fund commissioners, is just out. The
report shows that the amount of
bonds issued under act of February
20, 1892, known as centuries, has in
creased during the past year $780,
9ll.24, making the amount of bonds
outstanding OF that issue, $lS,OO2,-
0S3.67, of which $226,3OO are held
by the literary fund, aud $4,000
by the commissioners of the sinking
fund, leaving In the hands OF the
public $17, 1887.
The bonds with tax receivable cou-
pons, which have given the State so
much trouble in past years, have
nearly all been surrendered, only $40
500 of consols, and S21.4O0 of O 4Os
being now outstanding, with the prob
ability that number of these are
lost or destroyed and will never be
converted.
The literary fund has increased it's
holdings of century bonds to 1926
800 by the purchase during the year
of $4,000 out of the literary fund
fines, making the present holdings Of
State bonds by this fund l.43O,-
327.27 Riddlebergers, and S22O.3OO
of centuries, the annual interest on
which, amounting to 7,435.S2, goes
to the public schools.
Of the 100000 cash appropriation
to the public schools, $l93,lOO.S5
was appropriated to the counties and
cities of the State, 81, 800 to State
normal institutes, the rest being used
for general expenses.
The disbursement account shows
that $707,975.2S was paid On account
of interest on the public debt during
the past year. This includes Sl3,-
693.50 paid on judgments for taxes
with tax receivable coupons.
The report of the commissioners of
the sinking fund shows that they re-
ceived during the past year $32, 749. .

The canvass that is about to close
has been one of little information to
the voter concerning Virginia's public
affairs. All questions of importance
to the citizen have been subordinated
to the one of selecting U. S. Sena-
tor. Ii was so in a number of other
States last year, and il will continue
to be so as long as the people are pre-
vented from selecting directly this
public representative. Hence we are
an advocate of senatorial reform. We
want to see our senators chosen indie
pendent of other important issues the
people may be called upon to consid-
err.
AT the last session of the Legisla,
ture an amendment to the constitu-
ton was adopted, authorizing the alb
clifton of May elections for choosing
county officers. An amendment to
that instrument has to be ratified by
two successive Legislatures before it
is submitted to the people for confir-
nation. The coming Legislature
will doubtless approve of this amend
ment, when the people will be called
upon for their verdict on the same
issue, and if they endorse it the Gov
ernor will by proclamation make il a
part of our organic law.
a most important matter to the
taxpayers is the nearness of the pc
riod when our bonded Indebtedness
will call for the payment of per
cent. interest. This will begin in
1901. Fortunately the great devel-
opments in industrial and CONNER
cial enterprise now going forward at
Newport News, Norfolk, SC, making
big additions to our taxable values,
and the reduction effected in crimi-
nal expenses, are believed to have
placed the State in position to meet
the annual interest charge when the
3 per cent, rate begins. Let us all
hope so, but if any other measures
can be matured for reducing State
expenses the coming Legislature
ought to pass them.

From South Africa.

A Boer army estimated to number
$4,000 men is surrounding Lady
smith, where the British troops in
Natal have been concentrated by Gem
ersl White, in command of that por-
ton of South Africa. The British
forces number 10000 men, enough,
it would seem, to defend that place
until Gen. Redvers Butler, who will
be In supreme command of the Brit
ish forces, reaches there with rein,
forcements. The successful retreat
of Gen. Yule from Dundee to Lady
smith was accomplished after very
hard marching through cold rain.
The Beers have cut off the water
supply of Ladysmith, but the British
are using large pumps to supply the
town with water.
The fighting has been desperate
thus far, the Beers as well as the
British showing great bravery when
confronting each other. The Beers
have mounted guns that command
Ladysmith, and fight is imminent
The latest news from the seat of
war reports that General White, the
British commander, sent out force
on Monday under Gen. French to dis
lodge the Beers from position where
they had mounted guns that would
do effective work upon Ladysmith.
The Beers seemingly we're driven
back by Gen. French about two miles.
when that officer suddenly found his
TANKS assailed vigorously by strong
BOer force, and it was with difficulty
that Gen. French withdrew his men
back to Ladysmith. Gen. White
finds that Gen. Joubert, the Boer
commander, is showing more tactical
skill than he was held to possess.
The fight at this place will dou btless
be continuous for some time.

Walters advice to Negroes.

The Washington, ID. 9. Post, SAYS:
Bishop Alexander Walters, ID. d.,
OF New Jersey, who has just paid a
visit to Washington, is president of
the National Afro American Council.
and has naturally given much ear
nest thought to a solution of the ne
gro problem. He is conservative
leader of his race, and his views com
mand respect In talk with rep
resentatIve of The Post, he said:
1T is the consensus of opinion
among leaders of the race, who are
not Federal Office holders, that the
time has come when the negro should
divide his vote. am of the opinion
that 1T is one of the ways to solve the
negro. The negro is here to stay,
and sooner or later will be given his
constitutional rights. He is demon
strating every day that he is capable
of assimilating the highest civlliza
ton of America:
''Slnce we are to remain here. we
must make friends of our enemies.
| believe we can greatly aid our cause
by allying ourselves politically with
the best and most influential whites
of the South, the ruling classes.
81 am told that | ought not to ad
vocate this policy, because it was the
Democratic party that had enacted
all the discriminating laws against
us; that they are the ones who oppose
us to-day.
"While that is. in a measure true.
it is well to consider the facts. The
large majority of the employers of
negroes in the South are Democrats.
hence the bulk of our wealth has
come and is now coming out of Dem
ocratic pockets. They have rendered
us more help in the South along ma
terial lines than any other party.
The Democrats have enabled us to
perpetuate our public schools; they
have loaned us money to buy houses
and improve our farms, and they
have helped us to build our churches.

Next Tuesday, Novem Der 9TH, will
be election day, when the people of
Clarke will be called upon to assist
In sending two representatives to the
Virginia General Assembly. Mr..
Thos. ID. Gold, the candidate for
State Senator to represent the conn
ties of Clarke, Warren and Page, has
no opposition, although his nomiua-
ton was effected under exactly the
same conditions that brought about
the nomination of the candidate for
the House of Delegates. Mr.. Gold
was born and reared in this county,
was a soldier in that grand Army of
Northern Virginia that immortalized
the struggle of the Confederate States
for self.government, and has always
been a democrat. AS neighbor and
upright citizen no man stands higher
with the people among whom he has
lived.
Mr. Gold has been chairman of the
county executive committee for a
number of years, and having per-
formed its duties, which are more ex-
acting upon ones time than many
suppose, very successfully, it ought
to be pleasure to democrats to cast
their ballots for him, In order that be
may enjoy the slight reward he has
solicited at their hands. If any voter
has any doubts as to whether Mr.
Gold will be the representative of a
few personal friends, or of the great
class of people who may vote for him,
let him wait upon the senatorial can
didate and frankly state his point,
and we are sure he will quit the in
terview satisfied that Mr.. Gold will
be the representative of the people.
Mr.. A. L. Warthen, the nominee of
Warren and Clarke counties for the
House of Delegates, is one of the
most popular men in Warren county,
having been chosen commissioner of
the revenue over his competitors by
a large majority. His candidacy is
contested by Mr.. Brocket, who has
the endorsement of a mass meeting
said to have been composed of about
SO democratic voters, held in Front
Royal. We have nothing unkind to
say of Dir. Brocket, but if he means
to be of service to the democratic or
ganization he is not pursuing the
right path to secure that object. Mr..
Warthen is the nominee of the only
convention held this year composed
of delegates from Clarke and Warren,
and as there is nothing alleged
against him either as citizen or
democrat, we trust that those who
believe that Virginia's interest are
safest in democratic supremacy will
give him their hearty support.

People will have to soften their cry
a little about the rich not paying
anything towards the support of gov
eminent. 1t is estimated that the
stamp tax on the papers that will be
used to transfer the property of the
late Cornelius Vanderbilt to his heirs
will amount to 81, 100000, and that
the State of New York will also real
ize in taxes from the transfer $780,
900 to $S0O,0OO. The one million
dollars the government will re-
ceive will not pay it's expenses for
more than a half day, so costly has
government grown under republican
rule.
We should add that anderbllt

tune to his youngest son, Alfred; that
to the other children, except Corne-
Illus, he gave each $7,5OO,OOO; to Cor
nelius only 81 100000, but he will
receive from Alfred 100000 to
make his share equal the others. He
made a number OF requests to friends
and to charitable objects.
