the cases.

The effort of the Ladies' Auxiliary of
Pickett Camp to establish in this city
home for the helpless widows of Con-
federate soldiers should receive, as we
have no doubt that it will receive, the
aid which the Legislature is asked to
give. The auxiliary now has the op-
portunity TO purchase, at bargain, a
comfortable house, which will answer
every purpose. for the present, at least,
and the Legislature is asked to appro-
pirate the small sum of one thousand
dollars, 10 be used in paying for this
property. II the Legislature will do
this much the institution will be put on
its feet, and there Will be no difficulty
in getting enough money from year to
year to pay current expenses.
We are Informed that the Ladies Aux
Hilary has received a number of letters
from generous men and women at the
North, who have expressed desire to
aid in this noble work. There would
be generous contributions from various
sources in Virginia, and the money which
TO pay pensions to widows of Confeder-
ate soldiers would in the course of time
be in large degree diverted to the in
stitution which would undertake to care
for such pensioners.
This is 4 charity that speaks for itself
II the men who fought the battles OF
the Confederacy were noble, the women
who stayed at home and fought poverty
We're nobler. Such sacrifice, such hero
ism, such devotion to a cause as these
women displayed were never cXcelled in
the history of the world. The soldiers
had the excitement of war and the in
spiration Of comradcship TO keep them
spurred up to duty. The women had to
suffer in silence and isolation at home,
and to contend singe-handed and alone
agaist the foes greater than armies with
banners. The people of this State have
always been willing to provide for the
WORKOUT Confederate Veterans, but the
cause Of the WORKOUT widow of a Con-
federate Veteran appeals to us. if pos
sible, with more force and more pathos.
If we would provide for destitute vet
Grams, how much more for the destitute
women of the Confederacy. There can
be no doubt that the Legislature will
make the appropriation that the Ladies
Auxiliary of Pickett Camp ask for, and
will be r1roud to do so.

his interests for free silver to prevail.
It may be that.in some sections Of the
country such employers went to the ex-
tent Of saying that any cmploye who. in
full knowledge of these facts. should
vote for the free silver party. would
have to look. in the future. for another
thing.
But we do not belive for one moment
that this sort of thing was carried on.
or ever has been carried on, or ever will
be carried on. to any considerable ex-
tent, in the State of Virginia. Ii would
not be tolerated for one moment An
employer might. as we have said, confer
with his employees. and tell them what
he honestly believed to be to the best in
terests5 Of all: but if he should attempt to
browbeat or intimidatc those who worked
for him. the manly men Of Virginia would
make it so hot for him that he would
find Virginia most uncomfortable place
Of residence. Thatiis not the way in this
good old State. With us mans a man,
and an honorable wnrkingman is as
highly esteemed as any other honorable
man. Eu!dozing and browbeating and in
timidating do not go in this old Common
wealth
We believe that under the viva voce
method OF voting in Virginia the fran
chise would be absolutely untrammelled,
and that no man would ever lose his place
for voting his honest sentiments. Man
liness and independence have always been
respected here, and always will be. There
are some arguments, to be sure, in favor
Of the secret Ballot. Ii is contended, and
with reason. that mans vote is his own
private affair, and that he ought to have
the opportunity, If he so desires, to cast
that vote in his own way. without pro-
claiming his choice of men or measures
to the public. There is such thing as
intimidation, even in Virginia. There is
the intimidation of public opinion, which
Is the most powerful influence in the
world. and some timid men would proba-
bly, be afraid TO vote viva voce in a
crowd where public sentiment was against
them. But as for the alleged intimida-
ton of employers. that is simply imag;-
nary, so far as Virginia is concerned.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

PI,OFITiB LETECSTL IIGISLATIO
Sentiment towards trusts is changing.
or tho poeplc learn more and more about
chem and the laws that govern them.
The Legislature that sat four years ago
was as rampan. for radical LEGISLATION
against trusts as any Populist Les!sla-.
ture that any Of the States have had.
and 1t was only by the merest accident
that 1t was prevented from passing one
OF the most drastic anti-trusteacts that
has been anywhere drawn. The Legisa-
ture that sat two years ago was more
conservative, and this time Very little
has been heard about antitrust legisla-
ton.
In this state of the case we want to call
the attention of legislators to the follow
ing editorial article in last Sundays New
York World:
Both parties in Congress profess to be
opposed TO monopolistic trusts. Even ex-
IRENE pro.ectionists affirm that they do
not approve the misuse Of tariff duties to
enhance prices in an arbitrary and OPP
pressive manner
The American Newspaper Publishers
ASSOCIATION. a non-political organization
representing 2OJ0 newspapers. took meas
ures at its meeting in this city on Friday
to test the sincerity and sense of justice
in Congress on this question by bringing
TO its attention concrete example Of an
un3ustitiablc oppressive and tariff-bols-
tered monoply-the Paper Trust.
The Association sets forth that the
price of printing paper has been advanced
from GO to 100 per cent. without reason
or warrant TO be found in the conditions
Of the industry ITSELF that the newspa-
per. unlike most other forms Of industry.
sells at a fixed price and has no means
of putting the increased cost on the con-
sumer,' and that this abnormal price of
paper lin many instances means the
complete cont:scatiol of profits, and in
many others creates an actual loss"
The increase in the price Of paper is
made possible by tariff on paper and
wood-pulp. Neither of these duties is
needed for protection for our manu-
facturers export paper-making it cheap
er than it can be made elsewhere. Meth
er duty yields any considerable revenue.
Both are taxes on knowledge. Both sup
port and encourage wel!-consolidate
trust. Both tend to the destruction of
our forests. Both should be repealed:
This gives the cue TO profitable legisla-
ton concerning trusts. The protective
tariff that makes the wood-paper trust
possible should be repealed. SO if there
are any corporations that are abusing the
privileges conferred upon them by their
charters there should BE legislation that
Will compel them TO respect the prohiti-
tons, and use with reason the privileges
that their charters put on them and give
to them.
But when individual citizens associate
themselves together for purposes that are
innocent in themselves, the Legislature
has no right 10 interfere witt, them. never
mind how great their enterprise becomes
or how rich the association becomes.
There is the line of distinction between
the cases.
