There is criticism OF the Legislature
Tor a distinction which seems invid-
tous in this: that none OF the salaries
OF professors in the educational insti-
buttons of the State have at any time
been reduced, and they have not been
required to pay rent for their houses,
while in the elemosynary institutions,
to-wlt, the insane hospitals. the sala-
ries have all been reduced and the
officers are required to pay rent for
houses. This has 4 flavor of injustice,
and We have not heard any u at
tempt to explain the principle upon
which these officers have been picked
out and made the targets of reform,
nor why in these days of restoring sal
aries they have been overlooked. The
question of salaries had, until recent
ly, been left to the boards, but in the
days OF reform was taken away from
them, and now those boards have little
or nothing to do with the institutions
which they are supposed to govern.
These boards receive no salary them
selves, hence we ought to expect the
service to be commensurate, and We
will Of course see their interest pale
into insignifcance.

A Denial BY SeWaII.

Hon. Arthur Sewall, who was The
Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi'
dent in 1896, was in Washington this
week and denied a recent interview in
which he was quoted as forecastirg
the defeat of the Democratic party thi.
year.
II did not say anything Of that kind,
without qualification" Mr.. Sewall
said, II believe in expansion in a GER
tain way. I believe in keeping Porto
Rico and Hawaii, and extending to
them every law OF the United States.
Make them a Territory of this coun-
try, without discrimination as to tariff
or other laws. I also want to Aeep the
Philippines, but 1 think we should
establish a republic there,

Gen. Cronie Surrenders.

London, Feb. 27.-The War Office
has received the following dispatch
from Lord Roberts, dated Paardeburg,
February q, 7:45 a. m.: General
Cronje and all of his force capitulated,
Internationally, at daylight and he is
now a prisoner in my camp. The
strength of his force will be commune
Gated later. 1 hope that Her Majesty's
Government will consider this event
satisfactory, occurring a. it does on
the Anniversary of Majuba."
The general impression is that Lord
Roberts will now advance on Bloem-
fontein forthwith in order to clinch
the moral effect of bis victory over
General CrOnje.
DR.. Leyds is quoted as saying with
regard to General Cronje's surrender,
that the Beers still have 10000 men.
and the war has only begun.
While the situation in the western
theatre of war appears now to be dis
tinctly favorable to the British, no one
believes the issue was settled by Gen
eral Cronje's surrender Of 1000 men,
and General Roberts will undoubtedly
see some stiff campaigning before he

Getting Scared Aqain.

Representative Levy, Of New York
has sent a letter to Secretary Gage
calling his attention to the fact that
the receipts were far exceeding the ex-
penditures of the government, and
that the money was again accumuIat-
ing in the Treasury. He said u repe-
tition of the money troubles of last
fall vas to be feared if measures of re-
lief were not taken at once. Mr.. Levy
urged the Secretary to support a move
ment for the reduction Of the internal
revenue collected under the war reye-
hue act, and suggested that he had a
bill for this purpose which he hoped
Secretary Gage would examine and
support. Mr.. Levy estimates a reduc-
ton in revenu of $50, 900 900 annually
would come from the passage of his
bill.

Col. VIM. C. Elan Dead.

Colonel VIM. G. Elan, editor-in-
chief of the Norfolk Virginian-Pilot,
died at his home in Louisa county at
lis p. m. last Saturday, after an ILL.,
ness of many months.
Col. Elan was one of the best known
editors in the South and II Of the
ablest. He belonged to the old school
and is remembered most for his con-
nection with the Richmond Wing. 1t
was during this period that his great
abilities were brought into play and
those who remain of the old Wing
party will never forget the remarkable
and almost single-handed ighth he wag-
ed in behalf of the principles of the
party after which his paper was
named.
Until the day of his death, Colonel
Elan was q firm believer in the settle
ment of disputes touching ones honor
by the duel method, and his fame as a
duelist was national. His best known
affair OF the many in which be was
engaged in his long and stormy life,
was the duel he fought with Col Rich
ard +. Bierne, of the Richmond State,
one of the NEST remarkable duels on
record.
He was a brilliant writer and his
virile pen was often engaged by the
notable magazines. One Of the most
widely read articles, and one of the
last he penned for the magazines, wal
entitled 1.-THE Last Days of D~ueling.'
Col. Elan was for many years iden.
titled with the Republican party. but
severed his connection with that party
when 1t turned it's back upon silver.
He was an ardent Bryan man in 1896
and has been ever since. He was
buried at his home place in Louisa
county. In his death Virginia jour
nalism has lost its brightest light.

If the Beers were not such rank old
blue stocking Presbyterians, as they
are, it is doubtful whether the advance
OF English civilization would be con
sidered so absolutely necessary as the
British claim it is. The plea. upon
which this war is supported is "the
advance of civilization" But England
could find many quarters of the world
where civilization needs advancing far
more than in the Transvaal, but those
quarters do not hold diamonds and

PORTO RICO AND PROTECTION.

1t does seem absurd that Congress
should attempt to legislate for a coun-
try over which the constitution and
laws OF this land do not extend. Con-
gress can only legislate under and by
virtue Of the constitution. 1t the con-
stitution does not cover territory then
Congress has no power. If it does then
the bill of rights, the most sacred part
of the constitution is the property of
the people OF that territory, and whilst
Congress may adopt for them modes
OF government not exactlylike in form
to those of this country it cannot deny
them the same rights as are given to
the people at home. Congress does
not own newly acquired territory that
belongs to the Nation, and if it does
not belong to the Nation Congress has
nothing to do with it. If it belongs
to the Nation it is a part Of the Nation,
because the Nation is not a land grab.
Dor, it owns all territory under the
same title. 1t calls its property States
and Territories, its possessions come
under one or the other Of these heads,
and can occupy no other ground.
Porto Rico must be a Territory, it is
not a State. If it is a Territory belong.
ing to the United States, it must be
treated a. other territory. If it is not
territory within meaning Of our con.
stltution and laws then Congress
which has no power outside of the con-
stitution and laws, has nothing to dc
with it. Congress has no inherent
rights. 1t "a govern nothing save
by the power granted it by the consti
tuition and laws. Where these do moi
extend, it (Congress) Is powerless
Where they do extend they extend witt
their full force, not in any modified
form. and all people coming undel
them, must be taxed equally and uni
formally. Protection is dying hard.
