Bishop Handy is on the right track
There is no position under heaven more
responsible than that of the man wtp
in this day and generation undertakes TO
instruct the colored race in matters Of.
morals. In the days OF slavery these
lessons were taught to the colore,i youth
by cole Mis-" and young Mis-" nd the
highest ideals were held UP to them.
But there are no such instructors for the
colored youth of to-day. With some.
honorable exceptions they are brought up
by parents who have a low idea or NOR
ais. or else turned adrift without any
bringing up at all and left to be guided
only by their own brutal instincts. Ne
cessarily the negro of to-day must get
his moral training largely from the pastor
OF his church. TIE pastor Of color
ed church is man of wonderful influ-
ence among his people and may do with
his congregation almost as he will. The
members of his flock look up to him for
guidance and instruction and the moral
training of such a congregation is large
~ in. the hands Of the preacher.
In view OF these fact it is net necessary
to add that the colored preacher should
be a man of irreproachable character, OF.
pure morals and of clean life. The stream
cannot be purer than its source and the
pupil is not apt to be better than has
instructor If the colored preachers are
immoral, the disease Is almost sure to
spread from them throughout their en-
tire congregations.

Sof which he could never be deprived by

The Supreme Court Of the United states state
has quoted this language OF Chtef-Ju tee
fancy since the adoption of the Four t,'l.
.scrth Amendment in the case OF Gran.
dali rs. Nevada, 9th Wallace. and has
I given it It's emphatic sanction and en-
aorscrnert as a true exposition Of the
nature of citizenship Of the United States
from the beginning. 1t did the same
I thing again in the Slaughter house cases
in 18th Wallace. adding in both the last
named cases that :.the right of free ac-
operations OF foreign commerce are CON
ducted.'. is one OF those fundamental
rights of American citizenship. This has,
therefore, been our foundation law from
the beginning. But to remove all ques-
ton about the negro.s having these same
fundamental rights of citizenship. the
Fourteenth Amendment to the constitn-
ton was adopted directly after our ciVii
war. which provides that. all persons
born or natnralized in the United States
are citizens of The United States, ch-
dowed with certain privileges and i'm
mnnities. The Fourteenth Amendment,
therefore. did no more, SO far ,as the
white men were concerned. than TO sane
tify and consecrate their fundamental
rights and privileges which they mad a.
ways possessed, but it went step far
Their and took the negro within the pale
of these same rights and privileges. That
was all that it did. The case then stands
thus. that the Porto Ricans were "natu-
rallied" as citizens of the United States
BY the treaty ceding the island by Spain
and our acceptance Of the tcession: where
upon the people dwelling uponsst the island
became citizens of the United States. en-
titled to all of those privileges and i'm
.nunities which the Americans had there
tofore had. When, then, the Congress OF
the United States undertakes TO impose
burdens upon citizens of the United States
dwelling in Porto Rico which are not inn
posed upon other citizens OF the tinted
States dwelling upon American soil else
where, it violates the fundamental rights
OF those American citizens to live upon
terms of perfect equality with all of their
fellow-citizens, wherever they may dwell,
and it strikes a death blow At the foun-
dalton of all of our rights as citizens of
this great constitutional republic. We
have not seen this case treated from this
standpoint in any of the speeches OF dis
cussions that have been placed before the
public, but it seems 10 US that it is the
vital issue and bottom of this matter.

A WISE law.

The last Legislature passed bill to
amend and re-cnact section of the
fax law. in which is contained one clause
of great interest to taxpayers. lhis
clause provides that 1.-THE commissioner
shall ascertain the value of all capital
OF Incorporated joint stock companies
not otherwise taxed, and when such
capital is taxed by The State of Virginia
the shares of stock in the hands of in
dividual shareholders shall not be further
taxed for State purposes"
This provision is cminently Just and
wise. 1t is nothing else than double
taxation when an incorporated institu-
ton which pays taxes on its capital to the
State 'of Virginia for its stockholders
also to be made TO pay taxes on its stock.
for the stock represents the capital en-
ployed by such company in carrying on
business.
The provision is wise because it en-
courages Investments in Virginia. We
know of large deal which was con-
sunnlated in Richmond last week, and
the gentleman who made the investment
remarked in our presence that ne was
much encouraged to make the transac-
ton because of that provision of the
law which we have just quoted, because
under the old law if he had invested
his money in this enterprise he would
have been compelled to pay taxes
through ahe company on the amount
of money invested and again. personal
ly. on the stock which represented the
investment.
our constitution provides that taxation
shall be equal and uniform, and double
taxation is out Of spirit with that pro-
vision of The organic law. The path
Of duty is proverhially said to be the
path Of safety. The State Of Virginia
never loses anything by dealing fairly
and justly with taxpayers. We do not
believe in tax exemptions as a means
of encouraging investments. The surest
way for any State to encourage invest
ments is to have system of taxation
that bear evenly and justly upon all
classes of taxpayers: a rate of taxation
so low that it will raise enough revenue
only to pay the expenses of a govern
ment economically administered: and,
finally. a system of laws that will pro-
tect every man in his personal and
property rights. The State that viii
pursue such a course, all things else be-
ing equal, viii be the most inviting field
TO persons having money to. invest.

TIMELY WORD FROM TIE
I.IlNCH

We cannot too highly commend Judge
Lamb. of the Cllancery Court, for his ac-
ton yesterday in continuing the Old Do
minion Building and Loan receivership
case at the request of the stockholders,
and especially for the wholesale and time
~ lesson which he took occasion to i'm
press. He said that it would be CRAFTY
ing to him if the stockholders could wind
I'D their own affairs in their own way
out of court and without the expense and
delay of a receivership, adding that 50
far as his court was concerned they
should have every opportunity TO do 50.
Judge Lambs course is just what was
expected of him, for it has ever been his
policy to avoid rather than encourage
needless litigation, and in every way to
protect the interests of those whose cause
is brought into his court. But this pro-
nouncement from the bench is most OPP
perfume Ii is reckless for stockholders
in financial institution TO rush into
court with their grievances, for an in
significant Shareholder may wreck such
an institution, even though its affairs be
in a healthy condition, by applying Tor a
court receivership.
The protection afforded by the courts
70 ~ whose legal rights have been in
Is one of the great principles for
our form of government stands.
IN, all rights have corresponding duties,
and no one should rashly or ill-advisedly
rush into litigation until the simpler me-
tilods of adjusting differences have been
tried without success, lest by hasty ac-
ton the property of others be unnecessa-
rly harmed. In no thing is caution more
desirable on such occasions than in the
choice of the adviser by whose counsels
the person aggrieved is TO be guided; for,
while the bar has from earliest times
furnished the highest and best methods
of the community, there have unfortu-
nately also been found among its RANKS
at all times those who for the sake of a
fee would plunge into litigation which
was legally sustanable, but from the point
Of view of morals and wisdom unjustiti-
able.
Every litigant owes it 10 the comma-
nifty no less than those whose rights are
equally bound up with his own in the
point at issue to consult man whose
opinion is given with due regard 10 the
rights of his client and proper appre-
citation of the irreparable wrong worked
by unnecessary and ill-timed lawsuits.

SWEEPING CHANGE

NEW YORK April 1i-Judse Addison
Brown, of the United States District
Court, with reference to Acknowledgement
Griggs' criticism of his recent opinion,
and which accompanied a draft of h;il
sent to Congress yesterday fer the i1ur-
pose of Strengthening out matters in the
case of the three Gaynor brothers and

that which was laid down by Mr.. Justice
Curtis nearly fifty years ago.

the Gaynor case the government attempts

competent proof of criminality.

WELCOME DEWEY.
The Democrats Glad 10 Take Him Into
I:SI'GId.


CHICAGO, I'LL, April H.-Byran Dem
ccrats have decided TO welcome Admiral
Dewey into the Democratic party. Such
is the. position Officially outlined in to-

we may accept the Adnirars declara-
ton of his political faith as indicating
that he is with the Democratic party, at
least on an overwhelming majority of the
Issues it has taken up. runs the article
which is written by Willis j. ABBOTT
head OF the Democratic Literary Bureau
This is a most gratifying fact" the
article continues 1T indicates that should
the Democratic party, after mature delib-
Grafton. deny to the Admiral the nominal
tion which he seeks. it may nevertheless
count on his hearty cooperation and MS
influence in behalf of its efforts TO END
the evils of McKinleyism by ending the
reign of Emperor William ].
In commenting on the purport OF MS
article Mr. Abbott says:
I'VE are naturally delighted at the
prospect of such distinguished acquisi-
ton 10 our ranks as Admiral Dewey. but
of course I'VE expect the Admiral to play
fair and accept the good old Dem ocratic
doctrine of abiding by the result of an
honest Democratic Convention.
