With due apologies to the Seal of the
State and the name of old Virginia
and without lessening. one whit. the
repugnance to tyrants, The Virgnian-
Pilot respectfully offers, by way OF
suggestion, to the Legisla ture and the
Democratic party, a companion to the
Greater Seal of the Commonwealth, in
cartoon on the first page.
His Excellency may not use 1t upon
the Richmond and Washington Air
Line charter, save by way of orna-
ment but II may be left at Democratic
headquarters for official use in stamp
ing all applications of Trusts and
Monopolies which arc striving to gain
footing In the Old Commonwealth.

Insanity Is on the increase among our
troops in Manila, and General Otis has
cabled n request to Washington for one
thousand pairs of handouts and two
hundred pairs of leg shackles, not to be
used as was first supposed on the rebel
prisoners. but upon our brave men,
who, under the heat and the stress of
war. are losing their reason in large
numbers.

The city Of Norfolk endeavored most
earnestly to keep the company out of
her domains, save as long distance
phone. until 1t would agree to have
q maximum charge named for the use
of phones. The fight was useless and
powerless; but the Councilmen, who did
the voting, have yet to reckon with
their constituents.
We have too much faith In this Leg
isloture to believe that it will be be-
guiled from the true path expected Of
its members by their constituents; but
feel that when the vote is announced it
will show the charter cleared of all its

THE EMPLOYERS LIABILITY BILL

There is now pending in the Senate
ployers' Liability Bill" but which seeks
to make the employer liable for the
negligence of any employee that causes
injury TO another employee. In other
words. 1t matters not how careful the
employer may be in selecting tools and
implements and furnishing solid and
secure supports and scaffolds, IL one
employee grows careless and causes
injury TO another, the employer must
pay for it.
AS the law now stands, the employer
is held liable for an injury to his
employee occasloned by the employers
negligence, or the negligence of the en-
ployer's representative. In addition,
the employer is held to such strict liza
bility and responsibility in preparing,
furnishing and keeping in repair, safe
and proper tools and implements, etc,
that he is not allowed to delegate this
important feature to another. 1t Is a
personal liability following personal
duty. II will thus be seen that the
well cared for, and protected against
everybody's carelessness, excepting
only his own carelessness, and the care,
lessness Of his pccuniarily irresponsible
fellow employee.
AS the laborer is worthy of his hire,
SO is he deserving and worthy OF pro-
lection. The employer having done his
o,.t ~, els ~
to look out for himself against the
carelessness of some usually particu-
lar. but temporarily careless fellow
employee, or look to that fellow for
| redress by whose carelessness the trou-
bic was caused. Laborers must neces-
sarily work in the neighborhood of each
other. Nobody is infallible. Acct
cents will happen. One man may be
careful to-day and distracted the next
growing out of nervousness or worry.
Such IS the world over Since the en-
ployer must furnish perfect tools and
proper scaffolds, etc. surely the en-
ployer should not be responsible for the
laborers own carelessness. or the care
lessness of any other laborer that no
one can foresee or provide against, and
none save himself could thwart Jus
tice is justice; it matters not whom it
affects.
When some one is hurt there is al
ways a feeling that some one must pay
for the damage. Therefore. we suggest
the above thoughts. There are two
sides to every question; weigh them
both.
| Capital is coming to Virginia by the
millions, not thousands, and 1t Is COM
ing here, as Mr.. ingalls, said, because
the old State is conservative and fair
in her laws. PROTECTING NONE TO
THE INJUSTICE OF ANOTHER; but
requiring of each his proper bounds
and portion. Let the old State keep
up her conservative name, and with 1t,
| her prosperity Don't think because
1--WE are Firginians" the State may act
as it pleascs Don't forget that it Is
these millions of dollars invested here
that are making our workmen happy
and prosperousi-an that these-nai-
lions need protecting, or they will not
remain, and will cease TO seek or de-
| sire investment here.
