CURRENT Tories.

The Newcastle (Va.) Record says:
From the trend of number OF bills,
either passed or offered during the ses-
sion of the Legislature just closed, one
would think our Lawmakers had very lit
tie confidence in the honesty of the county
officers of the State. Things are in
bad way when men have to be appointed
by the Legislature to see that the county
officer does his duty"
Isn't that queer? The editor Of the New
castle Record is not the only man VINO
thinks that it is an insult to talk about
having an inspector look into the accounts
of Virginia officials. 1t is all right for
railroad employees to have their accounts
examined from time to time by a travel
ling auditor. but it would be an outrage
to apply that system in the management
of the States affairs. Well. we Virgin
ianS have got some queer nations.

Some inquiry has been made at this
Office of late as to the cost of the war
with Spain and our subsequent war in the
Philippines. The New York World says
that Mr.. Henry LOOMS Nelson has given
the most exhaustive statement and tnat
his figures are drawn from official reports
and estimates to which he gave careful
and conscientious attention.
Mr. Nelson finds" says the World
"the cost of the war with Spain to have
been SIS, 341 299; of the war in the Pail
ippines 64,s17, 2G7 in 1889 and prospective
cost of S1c0.SS5, 1884 for the current year-a

the army and navy for the present fiscal
year over 1897, due to our policy of mill

with the pensions on account of these
wars still to come, the total expenditures
of the government have Increased from
sos, 744 16O in 1887 to sGO5. o72 $50 in 1S99-or
from SOL per capita Of the population to
1897 per CAPITA.
The Times was opposed to the war with
Spain, but we have no sort of doubt that
as commercial proposition the war will
prove to be n most profitable investment.

in which he introduces figures that are
somewhat startling. He makes a great
MANY comparisons, showing how ma

AN X-RAH.

Representative Ray, of New York, chair
man of the House Committee on Judi
ciary and also at the head of special
subcommittee on trusts, has introduced
in the House. as reported in our news
columns yesterday, a resolution providing
for an amendment to the Constitution OF
the United States which shall give to
suppress monopolies and combinations
to create and dissolve corporations anu
dispose of their property; TO make an
laws necessary and proper to the eXcr-
else of the foregoing powers" 1t is fur
Their provided that ''such powers may be
exercised 10y the several States III any
manner not in conflict with the laws Of
the United States
1t is amusing that this Republican con-
gressman from New York IS steahns
some of Mr. William J. Bryan's thunder
The Times has frequently said that IL
would be a contest between the national
Republican party and the national Demo
cratic party as to which could most Wig
appear from the foregoing that the Re-
publicans are losing no time in begin
ming their campaign. Quite a While aG"
Mr.. Bryan suggested the Ray plan as
the true and only remedy for trusts, but
he has done nothing more than TO give
the Republicans a cue, which they nave
been smart enough to use.
The Washington Post says that the Re-
publicans do not propose to enact any
legislation on this subject. Their pro
sramme is simply to pass upon an amend
ment to the Constitution giving Congress
power to deal with trusts. This amend
ment will have to be referred 10 the
legislatures of the various States. 1t
will take the whole question out Of Con-
gress, but when the campaign is being
fought next fall the Republicans Will
point to this action evidence of their
desire to control trusts. They will say
that Congress has done its duty, ana that
future action rests with the States.
This Is very sharp politics. We felt
sure that the Republicans would take
pronounced position against trusts, but
we did not know just how they would
manage to do this and still keep on sood
terms with the big corporations Of the
country. Mr.. Ray has solved the prob

confer upon him the title of S-Ray. for
he has shed the light OF political science
