MIR. TURpIN's WARNING.

President Turpin. Of the Board OF Al
nermen. says that there are indications
NJ a general descent of politicians upon
the city treasury. II So the warning is
timely. and politicians will do well to
take warning in advance Several years
ago Richmond fell into the hands of
ring. and the Taxpayers who had been
oaying little attention to municipal af-
fairs suddenly walked up to the fact that
ahe city was well-night bankrupt
Then there was cry for reform. Then
Ava the Good Government League organ
szod. and members of the Council were
elected under a pledge to inaugurate
n scheme for economy and keep expendi-
tures safely within the revenues Of gov
trnmont. These councilmen stood squarely
BY the pledges which they had made, and
served the people well. There was much
nreiudice against the League in certain
tuarters. and I'm the last municipal cleo
zion II sustained an apparent defeat. But
the good fellows and the jolly boys and
ali others who make a business Of politics
should not deceive themselves. There
was prejudice against the League, but on
the part Of the taxpayers Of Richmond
there IS 10 prejudice against the Leagues
methods. and the reform that it inaugu-
rated in the nick of time. The city is re-
covering from misrule Its finances are
tn fairly good condition, but If Mr. Turpin
Is right in his forecast, If the politicians
IRE going to "raid the treasury the
little surplus that has been accumulated
will soon have been wiped out. in its
place viii DE a floating debt and the city
will again be on the verge Of bankruptcy.
We do not believe that the taxpayers
arc in any humor 10 De trined with. and
A. this threatened raid SIS made, there viii
5e a reckoning next spring, and such
housekeeping as the great stone building
has never known.
We do not know what Mr.. Turpin
means. but we take 50 that his apprehen-
sions are we'll founded. and we give THIS
warning 20 whom II may concern.

A COURAGEOUS NEWSPAPER.

II IS quite refreshing 10 find a Virginia
contemporary. having the courage Of its
convictions, coming up boldly 10 the de-
fence OF an unpopular law which it knows
10 be Just. There has been great out
cry against the delinquent tax law, and
many have denounced # in toto without
conceding that the law has single good
point The Stuart Enterprise is not one
Of these. Our Patrick contemporary has
taken a fair and just view Of the law
and concludes that those who are making
such an outcFy against 1T have little or
no reason to complain. "The delinquent
complainants," says the Enterprise pro
claim by their acts one or the other Oh
these three things:
Fjrst-Their ignorance Of the deplorabe
state Of the law I'm Virginia in regard 70
tho collection Of delinquent taxes prior
10 the enactment of this delinquent law;
or. second. II they be owners of land
against which there were some delinquent
taxes. their willingness 10 enjoy the
fruits. rents and profits without compen-
sation Of land that does not in law be-
long to them: or. third, The utter lack
Of appreciation Of the fact that taxes
ore "A inst burden that all citizens Oh
civilized countries are I'm law in equity
in honor and in duty bound TO pay and
that the number Of dollars that any man
or class Of men unjustly gets out Of pay
ing all the rest unjustly have 10 pay
The Enterprise believes that every cit-
zen should bear his part Of the public
burden. and has but little patience with
those who complain because the State
forces the delnquents to pay up. It also
well says that the plea of ignorance in
an such cases Is plea that cannot be-
fairly maintained. Ignorance Of the law
is no excuse. When a man purchases a
piece OF property he should see that his
title is clear, and If he does not take
the trouble to ascertain that il is delin-
ouent to the State It Is his own fault
II q man should buy a piece Of property
upon which some other man. had lien
no certainly would not make the baby
plea that the lien was unjust because hq
was ignorant of its existence.
No creditor is so ienient as the state
II gives the taxpayer seventeen months
after assessment within which to pay
his taxes, then buys the land If he re-
fuses to pay, but gives him two mors
years i'm which TO redeem his land by
paying up his dues. and If at the expira-
ton Of nearly four years from the date
Of assessment he is stin delinquent the
state permits outsiders to come in and
file application to purchase the land Tor
the taxes due and allows such applicant
for his trouble a fee Of 1--WE dollars. That
is the whole law in a nutshell, and, az
our Patrick contemporary says. no de
Iinquent can fairly complain against it.
