MAKE IMPRISONMENT A
PUNISHMENT.

The number OF prisoners in Jail, and
the number of breaches of the peace
daily occurring, forces again upon the
authorities of the city the imperative
need of driving from the city the horde
of idle. worthless, criminally- inclined
negroes. tlocking into the city from
North Carolina and other points.
What is imprisonment TO these peo-
pie? They are a disgrace to their own
race and menace to human life and
property. They fear but the galiows
and work. To drive them from the
city, the authorities have only to put
them to hard labor, and as an occasion
al reminder of civilization, turn on the
hose.
In the interest of the peace, good or
der and welfare Of the community. and
the treasury of the city, we come TO
again call the attention of Mayor john
ston and the city authorities to a rem
edy so often suggested-put these jail
birds to work carrying stone In the Jail
yard. Don't let them become competi-
tors of honest labor, but just keep the
jail-birds constantly at work carrying
stone all day. Make sure that when
once clear Of the Jail. they will shake
the dust of this city from their feet
forever.
1t is a well-known fact that vaga-
bonds look upon Norfolk as sort of
haven. They come here for a short
shelter: to rest and feed up for
awhile" Let there be action taken at
once. The city has the authority to
punish its jail-brds by adopting some
reasonable method Let 1t be carry
Ing stone in the Jail yard throughout
the working hours of the day
We sincerely trust that the recent
assaults attempted in the city will be
sufficient warning of the value Of the
suggestion. and that there will be no
further delay. We have sufficient con-
fidence in the officials of the city to be-
lieve that that action will be taken at
once.

tions believed, from past experience.
to he of advantage to the Oyster in
dustry.
1t now appears from interviews pub
lished in to-dny's paper that the last
Legislature has made Is possible for
serious, If not irreparable damage, to
be done the Oyster industry.
A perusal of the local columns will
show that dredging, with the consent
Of the Board of Fisheries. may be al
lowed in the James river and other
places now depended upon for seed
oysters.
Dredging. as shown by the opinion
and experience of leading oystermen, is
absolutely destructive of the oyster
rock. This was the experience of the
State OF Maryland. which State Is now
spending hundreds of thousands of dol
lars planting oysters where the supply
has absolutely given out.
The experience Of all oystermen leads
them to distrust the dredger The
planter accuses the dredger of poach-
ing, not only on public rock, but upon
private grounds. Their experience is
certainly worth something. Dredgers
are accused of renting from the State
n small territory and afterwards talk
ing and using as much more as they
wish This. too, is OF Importance. since
the State Treasury is the loser
The public in general little appre-
clatc what this law means. Nor is It
in touch with the oyster law. AS long
as oysters can be had in the market
at-a-fair- price-nn question is asked
Let them once become scarce and the
difference will be felt.
But in n business way the matter
should come straight homo to the Bust
ness Mons Associa ton. The destruc-
ton of oysters means that thousands
of idle negroes will be thrown upon THE
city. 1t means that thousands of dol
lars Will be turned away from this port
and into other channels; 1t means that
one of the largest Industries of the port
will be destroyed.
Let us stand together in aiding the
planting and protection of the oyster.
instead of idly permitting the wanton
destruction OF the very oystcr-rock
itself for the present satisfaction of
some greedy interest that has con-
ceived the idea of enriching itself
while the people sleep. leaving them to
sorrow for their carelessncss
a committee OF the Board OF Trade
and Business Mems Association should
take hold at once of this matter and
save the oyster. as far as can be done,
through the Board of Fisheries. 1t is
of too vital Importance to rest uncarcd
for u moment.

For the better part of four years now

MASK

The conspiracy to destroy n part of
the nations money of ultimate redemp-
ton has finally attained Its object, for
the time being. by the passage of the
Financial bill. For thirty years, or
more. the conspirators have striven,
always under false colors, always aim
Ing at more than they permitted to APP
pear, to reach this contamination. Their
final triumph has come through the Re
publican party.
And what of this Republican party?
In its last national platform 1t pro-
claimed itself the real friend" of BIZ
| metallism. 1t would restore bimetal-
lism not only In this country, but in all
the leading commercial nations of the
world. by international agreement"
The plank was clear, the pledge spe-

Mckinley was placed in the Presidential
chair! The Republican party came in
to power, but came with a clear obli-
cation to strive for bimetallem. The
only visible result of the pledge to Sc

agreement. was a commission, named
by Mr.. Mckinley. to do nothing, and

not satisfy those who had paid for the
Republican party's lease of official life.
The declaration for International BIZ
metallism was we'll enough as a dodge
to deceive the credulous voter. but the
Money Shark and the "endless-chain
manipulators" were unwilling to take
any chances. The voter might decline
to be deceived a second time. The de-
| mand was made of the Republican
party that it throw off the mask. have
done with the pretense Of favoring BIZ
metallism, and that it rivet the single
gold standard on the country while OPP
portunity offered.
And what reply did this self-appoint-
ed guardian of national honor" the
party of great moral IDEAS" make to
the conspirators? 1t passed the finance
bill, the effect of which is thus declared
by Mr.. Overstreet. the Republican Con-
gresham in charge of it. in the final
debate:
This bill holds out not the slightest
hope for international bimetallism I'M
der present conditions. 1 say frankly
that this bill will make 1t practically
and absolutely impossible ever to have
International bimetallism at the ratio
of 16 to l." (Applause).
At least we may be thankful that
there is an end OF subterfuge. The is
sue is henceforth clearly drawn. The
Republican party cannot hereafter pa
rade as the friend OF bimetallsm. For
the future the fight is in the open; and
the fight will go on. This wrong, con-
summated through the basest perfldy
on the part of the Republican party.
and frightful in its consequences to the
American people will not be permitted
to remain final settlement OF this
question.
The backs of the people have been
patient Of burdens-the Republican
party and Its assistants have laid on
one straw too many.
