NO COMPROMISE FOR STANDS.

Some one has suggested that the

have several times mentioned the prob
ability Of such step.
We take it that In this case "the wish
is the father to the thought" and our
good friends are trying to educate the
people up to smothering out the white
people of Isle of Wight Nansemond
and Southampton.
The Virginan-Pilot cannot speak for
Mr.. Stands personally. Indeed, this
paper recognizes him solely as the rep
Iresentative OF the people for which it
speaks. Therefore, it feels at liberty
indeed, 1t is q duty-to say, in the name
of the white voters that gave Stands
an almost unanimous election, that he
will not, directly or indirectly, bctray
our people TO the machine.
The line was drawn by the State Elk
Iecutive Committee. Now let that com
mittce take the result. So far rs we
are concerned. we place our standard
right with the people, and propose
Sanding with them! If that be trea-
son to the bosses, let them make the
most of it.
This paper believes that the Demo
Gratis of the Legislature have too much
Democratic principles in them to be-
tray their constituents to the machine.
1t believes with equal force that not
man in that body could ever again face
his constituents, with the record of
having voted to suppress the voice of
voters. disfranchise Democrats and
lthrottle Home Rule
Mr.. Stands has nothing to compro-
mise, and We sincerely trust that he
will come home with his banners fly
ing-still fighting, II he is not admitted
to the caucus. knowing full we'll that
HIS strength comes from the PEOPLE
and not from the MACHINE.

EXAMINATION OF LAWYERS IS
NECESSARY.

The Virginia Law Register, in its
January issue, again takes up the sub
ject of examination of candidates for
admissions to the Bar.
The Law Register goes fully into the
subject, and even further in one parti-
cular, we think. than is necessary.
Fearing that laymen might doubt tho
sincerity of the lawyers in this matter.
the Register explains that the examlna-
tion is desired, not to prevent an in
crease In the profession. but to prevent
any person from practicing who is not
fitted, or properly equipped, education
ally, for his profession.
Addressing itself to this point, tho
Register says: mo intelligent person.
lawyer or layman, will deny that the
INSCRIPTIONS shystcr ranks among the
dangerous elements in community;
and it is no less true. that the shyster
is not the educated lawyer; he is the
offspring of professional Ignorance and
an unenlghtencd conscience"
Agreeing fully with the Register, but
claiming n few stray exceptions to its
general rule, We join in It's appeal to
the Legislature. The existing law
should be made stronger so as to pre-
vent persons from qualifying in other
States and afterwards removing to Vir-
Ginia- There is such bill now before
the Legislature. That bill should be-
come a law.
The VirGinian-Pilot has great sym
pathy for young men who wish to be-
come professional men, and have to
prepare themselves for their lifcs work
with their own labor. Such young men
will find n way, and will likewise pre-
pare themselves well. They would not
wish to deceive the public by pretend
ing to be capable OF advising in the
law when they are too ignorant to pass
an examination.
The Vlrginian-Pilot has an unmcas-
ured degree of contempt for persons
parading rs professional men who know
nothing of the art they profess.

THE LANDMARK ENDORSES
GAGE.

Our esteemed contemporary. the Nor
folk Landmark. says edtorially:
80 far rs Secretary Gage is in
Holved Din the matter. his frank and full
statement concerning the deposit of
Government funds in the national
banks should absolve him from sus-
plcion."
Since the Landmark has satisfied
dtself so fully upon this subject, 1t is
NO doubt in possession OF facts that
Hhe Democratic Congressman and press
pf the country very anxiously desire.
There are a few things It can doubt
Tess explain.
Mr.. Gage sold the U. S. Custom
alouse In New York to the National City
Bank for 900. This was July Sd,
1899. The bank thereupon paid Mr..
Gage all this money except $4,000, and
MIR. Gage thereupon handed the money
right back TO the bank to keep. with
out interest, the bank itself lending the
money out ut big interest
What next? The bank did not pay
all the purchase price. Why? Because
then deed would have been made by
the Government and the bank would
olave had TO pay taxes OH the prop
erty. whereas by leaving the property
i'm the name of the U. S. Government
THE bank escaped It's taxes. We won
der II Mr.. Gage could have known this?
What next? MIR. Gage (not satisfied
with saving to the bank all these taxcs)
gave 1T another plum. He actually
agreed to pay, and the u. S. Treasury
is now paying the enormous sum of
sl36OoO a year RENTAL to the bank
for that building
Now, If this bank is entitled to collect
RENT it must own the building. If it
does own the building 1t should pay
TANES, and tile $4,000 balance due
the Government. Does Mr.. Gage know
this? The whole thing is Il swindle.
j is shame and an outrage. and we
oanno: bring ourselves to believe that
even such partizan of the admins
tration as the Landmark could defend
Alr. Gage. IT is so plain that n way
Earring man, though he be n fool, could
not err.
But did 1T end here? Mr.. Gage then
paid ALL the u. S. Treasury receipts
into the lap of this bank. amounting to
sGOoo0o,0 600 year Interest on this at
per cent. for a year amounts to $40
100000. IF the bank can manage to
keep the money just half that time the
income is Sl5.Ooo,O0o year. Ask any

MICHIGAN AVE. IMPROVEMENT

The HERALD is Of opinion that the city
council, at its last meeting. acted with.
out full knowledge Of the facts in
adopting the street improvement resou-
ton, in so far as it applied to Michigan
avenue. The contemplated 2O.foot road
way on Michigan avenue between Heron
and Hume streets was demonstrated
against by the owners Of the AUDITING
property, and, We think, with good rea-
son. At the maximum cost fixed by the
resolution the road will cost $500, OF
which the city will pay 1876 for the alley,
and the four lots abutting will he taxed
$l13.75 each. AS the writer was offered
one Of these lots within few weeks for
less than 800, on easy terms. it will be
readily seen that the proposed improve
Ment will work hardship upon the
owners of this property, and that the
work should not be insisted upon unless
great necessity exists for the road.

II the council will take tie trouble to

II the council will take the trouble to
examine the situation it will find that no
such necessity exists that the only pur-
rose for which the roadway would be
used would be to reach the Western
Cooperage Works from Heron street,
that Hume street is already filed from X
street to the avenue, so that when X
street is planked the cooperage works
will be reached by streets considerable
better than the average throughout the
citv. Hume street between X street and
Michigan avenue may require some saw
dust in llaces, but it rs safe to say that
the sum required from the CITY to plank
the alev on the avenue-$35-wonld put
it in excellent condition.
The HERALD heartily favors street and
road improvements, but does not favor
placing an onerous burden on property
when there is really no occasion for 80
doing, and believes it only necessary to
call the attention OF the council to this
matter to have that body strike the
Michigan avenue improvement out OF
the ordinance when it comes before them
at the next meeting.

THE LOGGING SITUATION.

In response to an inquiry by the Pacific
Lumber Trade Journal. Hoquiam og.
ger thus describes the logging situation
on Grays Harbor:
"rhat the year 1890 for loggers on Grays
Harbor has been anything but prosper.
Gus, and does not compare with 1898 for
several reasons. The price OF wire cable
has advanced nearly 100 per cent, and
all lumbermen's tools in like manner.
Beef also has advanced nearly so FER
cent. since '9S and great many other
things in proportion. Labor has advanced
and so much OF the skilled labor OF the
lumber camps has gone to thu Northwest
Territories, British Columbia and Alaska
that it is extremely difficult to get skilled
labor today at any price. The rise in the
price OF logs in '9S induced great many
to los that could get hold OF a piece of
timber, ii it were but 40 acres, and on ac.
count Of tive bright outlook in the lumber
business there was no trouble in securing
q loan OF some money or pressing their
credit ior logging donkey, which caused
a glutted market al through 30 They
are now confronted with another obstacle:
The Northern Pacific timber land, have
been taken off the market through the
Weyerhauser syndicate, and it has so en-
Unused the other timber holders that they
also ask 100 per cent. over and above '9S
prices and the logger fortunate enough
to own any timber today who logs it off
at present prices will hardly be consid-
cred as opposition long. Most OF the
large logging camps are now closed down,
and have been since nearly the first of
November. and are likely to be until
there is an advance in the price OF logs
nearly equal to the advance OF other COM
modities as we'll as labor. Today there
is from 70,000,O00 to S0,OO0,O00 feet OF
logs in the water, and loggers do not an
ticipate rise over present prices until
the greater part Of this is cut. But as the
larger logging firms have gone to the ex
pense Of closing their camps, it is hardly
probable that any one Of the concerns
now closed will open up again unless they
receive an advance on the present prices,
which is hardly to be expected before
some time in March or April, and prob
ably May. OF the concerns now closed
down, Lyle Bros Logging Co, who
usually run from three to five camps.
Poison Bros, of the same capacity, Davis
Il Dineen, Ellingson 4 Sjolseth, all OF
Hoquiam; a. F. Coates, OF Aberdeen, and
several others, smaller camps, all OF
which claim mo money in the logging
business for 49, and do not wish to try
it at present prices for 1900
"And if present rumors are to be be.
lieved, the greater part OF skilled labor in
the woods expect in the spring to take
trip to Cape Nome. This would SO ham
per the.logging business, should the adj.
vance be late in coming, that it would be
impossible to get labor at any price.
"For the benefit Of loggers on Grays
Harbor for 1900 We would suggest, keep
out OF the woods until We get an adj.
vance, As lumber has advanced on an
average OF 70 per NJ. through the eastern
states, there is no reason why any think
ing logger should bankrupt himself trying
to keep the mills in logs.
