There were four other indictments
pending against Lewis, and il was
the intention of the Commonwealth
to arraign him for trial at the NEXT
term OF court, but on Saturday the
attorneys for the prosecution and de-
fence informed the court that an
agreement had been reached whereby
Lewis was to plead guilty upon ali
the indictments yet pending against
him, and that his confinement be
liked at fifteen years in the peni-

seven years on the other four IndIct

The position of Hon. Jas. n.
Stubs recently before a Legislative
Committee, in which he advocated
yiping from the statute books all
@ws bearing on fishing in the State
OF Virginia, recalls similar posi-
ton IN respect to national laws taken
In last December before Congress
sional Committee by Mr.. Jno. r.
Dospassos, of New York and West
moreland county, Va. If we remem-
Der correctly 1t was before the Indus
trial Commission, and the subject I'M
der consideration was trusts and cor
porations. Mr.. Dospassos said that
he represented no interest. He COM
mended the commission of inquiry
as a proper one, and suggested that a
similar commission should have been
appointed to inquire into the railroad
business before the passage of the
interstate commerce law. This
statute he pronounced "the
most remarkable legislation ever
enacted" Mr.. Dospassos then
went into u general condemnation of
useless and injurious legislation, say
ing that it would be to advantage
if all the laws enacted in the United
States since 1S4S were DESTROYED
Every law made he pronounced a
nail In the coffin of human liberty.
de contended that there had never
been any monopolies in this country
IN the strict Interpretation of the
word, unless in the case Of patent
rights. Mr.. Dospsssos asserted that
tue natural laws of commerce were
an effectual barrier against monopoly.
"Leaye the laws of nature" alone. he
urged, ~and they will take care of
themselves"
ln our opinion this eminent LAWYER
was both right and wrong. No doubt
great good might be achieved by WHIP
ing our national laws out of exis-
tence and giving room to more lust
aud equitable ones. AS with the
State so with the nation-we are bur-
dened with many unnecessary and
injurious statutes. On the other
hand MIR. Dospassos views monopo-
lies and syndicates from the stand
point of one whose life is interviewer
with them, and so cannot see that
they do harm. Did the laws of ma
ture prevail the policy of "protec-
tion wouid succumb, and thus far
1.-THE laws of nature" would be benefi-
cal; but if these laws are to obtain and
those against trusts and monopolies
to die, then we are given over to the
survival of the fittest"-the "fittest,'
