in order The official who does not want
TO be inspected is the official who needs
to be Inspected, in nine cases out of
ten Just how far this organized move
ment to which Senator Glass refers has
gone we do not know. but those who
are taking part IN it could not by any
means more surely strengthen the bill.
If those who handle public funds are
opposed to having their books inspected,
depend Upon it, they have an unworthy
reason for it, and the State should look
after them at. the earliest opportunity.
Hamlet speaks of 1.-The insolence OF
Office" There is singular illustration OF
it in the petition which is being sent
around to the ot!ice-holders in the State
in connection with Senator Glass bill.
The promoter says: you Write at
once to your representative in the
House or Senate what you desire. 1t
is taken for granted that all honest men
are opposed to this bill, as it will require
the subscriber to keep books in accord
ance with the idea of some little book
keeper
1t is "insoIcnce of Office" indeed when
the of!ice-holder flies in the face Of the
Legislature and protests against the
right Of the State to inspect his accounts
and to prescribe the manner in which
they shall be kept. What the State Of
Virginia needs and what we hope Will
be the result of the reform which Mr.
Glass has inauguratcd, is uniform sys-
TEN ,of bookkeeping that is modern ana
easy to understand. We do not make
the assertion, for we do not know. but
it is our opinion that the method OF
book-k keeping employed throughout the
rural districts of Virginia by State OIL
Gals is crude and out-of-date. and would
not be tolerated by any well-regulated
railroad company or other corporation.
But whether this be true or not, the
State ought to know >llow her servants
carry on business, and the only way
to know is to appoint Intelligent book
keepers who shall investigate and re-
mort The assertion that all honest men
are opposed to Mr.. Glass, bill would be
IauShab BILE, were it not insolent. We
suspect that quite the converse of that
proposition is much nearer the truth.

.INsoLsNCii or oFIclCE.r

The somewhat startling statement was
made in the morning papers yesterday
that there is NO be an organized fight
against the proposal to inaugurate the
inspection system in Virginia. Senator
Glass says that some public oftice-hold-
ers who handle public funds have become
frightened at the prospect OF being
brought TO book and so the bill which
he introduced providing for travelling
auditors, and which has passed the Sem
ate, has been printed and sent out to
all the CITY and county officials with the
earnest appeal to them to communicate
with their representatives in the I4egis-
,ature and urge that they vote againss
the bill.
If any evidence were needed of the
necessity OF the inspection system In
Virginia, it is furnished by this appeal

books inspected from time to time: on

opportunity to show that his house is

CURRENT TOPICS.

Secretary Gage does not think that
American securities will suffer appreciably
from the Boer war, no matter what set
The same may be said Of English secu-
rifles he added. The financial condi-
ton of England is recognized by finan-
ciers as so strong that every demand
for the prosecution OF the war can easily
be met. Already the needs of England In
the way of gold and the possibilities of
the selling of American stocks by Lon
don are definitely known, and the fnan-
cia situation in this country is, therefore,
perfectly stable and proof against per-
turkations
England has plenty of capital to carry
on the war, and that tact is generally
acknowledged by tlnanclcrs. This is the
explanation OF the little disturbance
which reports of victories or defeats IN
the Transvaal have had in Lon,..on and in
New York.
AT the very start there were, as is well
known. panicky conditions when a Boer
victory was runlorcd. The reason of that
WAS the financial conditions were not
well understood by men on Change, and
especially by those interested In Securl-
ties
1.-THE natural effect of the declaration
of war was to raise questions as to what
English stockholders would do, what
American securities they would sell, how
much gold they would want, and where
they would get it. and what the opinion
OF other tinanciers in regard to these
questions would be.
Naturally, there were more or less dis
turbances at the start, but very quickly
the conditions became Defined SO that
they could be fairly and properly mea-
sured. and the general perturbances of
the market as quickly disappeared.
Therefore, While In the early stages the
war had considerable effect. now matters
seem adjusted by reason of any news
from the 'front.'.
That became apparent long ago. We
are growing more and more independent
and it will not be long before we shall
govern the commerce of the world and
dictate the terms of trade.
we have been questioned as to the pay
of a Encouragement in the United States
army, and as a matter OF reference for
those who may be similarly interested
