A lengthy typewriter commune alton
I bearing the rubber stamp signature of
Daniel Harrington, attorney for the
anti-compulsory vaccinatiOnists, was
read by the clerk. The communication
purported to give a construction of the
Statutes and city ordinances on the
powers and duties of the board of
health TO the effect that the board has
no legal authority to require Of the
school board that unvaccinated pupils
be excluded from attending the schools.
Attorney HaTTingtOn's effort concluded
with this statement:
In the light of a fair Interpretation
of the statutes and the intention there
Of and in view Of the constitutional
right OF the patrons and supporters Of
the schools. it is your duty 70 adhere TO
the demands Of a large percentage of
the taxpayers and people Of ali classes
in this city, rather than to adopt the
wishes and requests of a local board or
coterie. Of physicians, who are welded
10 special theories and principles.
We further urge that all persons
who pay their taxes, as we'll as others
having the right TO send children to
school, have vested right "a the priv
ilege OF sending their healthy children
to school, and they should have the
right to have them admitted. This, too,
upon the ieSal Phase OF their rights as
well as upoa the grounds of public pol
icy. as il is said, there ale from 5000
TO 10000 school children in the city who
have not yet been vaccinated, and their
interests, as well as the interests of
the community, viii be seriously al
fected."

munication, certifying that Powers.

conclusions Of law set out by Attorney
Harrington, prompted Mr. CritchlOw to
ask If Judge Powers had not suffered
a collapse since penning his approval to
Harrington's learned exposition of the
law.

THE CRISIS IN CHINA

a Russian paper gives America all
the credit for making the terms OF
treaty with China much easier and
says England begrudges it.
All the foreign ENJOYS, except 81,
Ernest Mason Satow, the British
Minister, have received instruction !
from their Governments, agreeing to
the joint note proposed at the las i
meeting.
Kaiser William, the great boaster.
has taken to himself the chief credit
for unraveling the China muddle. In
speech to his returning soldiers the
other day among other things he said:
after today the army and navy are
one. The world shall know here the
Emperor shook his marshal's baton
vigorously that where put my blue
boys nobody shall remove them.''
The Noyoe Vremya observes that
there are evidences of tfscontent in
all the armies, including the German
with Field Marshall Won Waldersee's
brutality. The paper supports the
demand that each army act hen ce.
forth ON its own responsibility.

POLITICAL.

After his express Genial of con.
test Gen. Walker has instituted on,
for Congressman Rhea's seat.
The official figures show that
Bryan led his ticket in Nebraska, his
home State. He also ran ahead OF
the State ticket in Massachusetts.
Senator Cockrell, of Missouri
David B. Hill, of New York. and
Senators Daniel and Martin, of Vir.
glnia, are being much spoken of as
presidential candidates in 1904.
1t is thought the State Democratic
committee will be called to meet in
Richmond during the extra session
of the Legislature to fl the time and
place and basis of representation for
the next State convention.
The reiteration by Hon. Joseph II.
ilawless of his intention to be a can
dldate for the position of chairman
of the Democratic State Committee
at the convention next wear, will
interest politicians. An effort was
made to induce Mr.. Lawless to op-
pose MIR. Ellyson for the position at
the Norfolk convention last May. He
declined, however, but, as published
in the Richmond Dispatch of May 2,
1900, he declared his intention of
standing for the honor next year. Mr..
l.awless. is regarded as one of the
shrewdest politicians in Virginia.
and has for many years been most
active party worker.

BELGIAN HARES

Several enterprising citizens OF
Northumberland county have intro
duced number of Belgian rabbits
for breeding purposes, and they are
said to be thriving. They are of q
lighter color than the ordinary hare,
and nearly double as large.
The raising of these rabbits is
springing into fad in Virginia.
They are valuable for food, aud as
they are exceedingly prolific their
raising seems to be a paying business.
A Richmond, Va, man recently paid
81 900 for Belgian hare with a
pedigree. For ordinary purposes
they can be bought for ST or $3.50 a
pair. Somewriters are using the ar
gument against them that out West
they have become so numerous
their determination has become a
subject of legislative action. This
wlll-not hold in this country. No
hare, particularly large one, would
long escape the gun of the murder
Gus small boy, "darkey" or sports
man. Conditions here are different
from what they are In the sparsely-
settled West and we need have no
fears OF their over-running us.

WHAT WILL WE DRAW ?

Commenting on the effects of the
Hopkins reapportionmcnt bill, which
has been favorably reported from
COMMITTEES, and which will reduce
Virginia's representation in Congress,
the Fredericksburg Star begins to
show signs of uneasiness again. 1t
says:
"As 1t seems that we are bound to have
change in Virginia, we are again won
dering where we will finally land IL,
as the article above states, the First Dis
trict will remain intact and be added to
by the addition of Warwick and Eliza.
beth City counties, then won't we be out
OF it strictly? We are far enough now
from the main part of tue district and
the annexation of these counties will
leave us worse Off. We will be the last
end of the district in every sense of the
word. We repeat again that Fredericks-
burg, Caroline and Spotsylvania would
be better off outside of the First District.
therefore we hope when the changes oc-
cur we will land plump 10 the lap of
some other Democratic stronghold"
AS heretofore iutimated, the CITI-
ZEN thinks the Slsr's grounds for
complaint justifisble ones. Maybe
Fredericksburgers will succeed in
their desires. As for us-of the
Northern Neck-we are simply nom
entities, so far as being considered in
the politics of the State. Aside
from the interests of one or two in
dividuals the people of these counties
have nothing to lose-and possibly
much to gain-in the shuttle when
it comes, and naturally very few of
us are averse to the mix-up.
We would like to sound our Fred
ericksburg friends on their feelings
in the matter of taking us (of the
Neck) along with them when they
shall become affiliated with the good
people of the Eighth. King George
now belongs 10 the Eighth, so what
is the matter with taking the rest of
the Northern Neck, or Mt any rate
some of its counties? We can't get
any nearer being "lost" in the shuttle
than We are Just at present.

lng out such suggestion. No one
declares it murder when a man kills
another in justifiable defense; yet our
friend would say that 1T is-in ac-
cordance with the "letter" of the

Oyster dealers are complaining tina,
the usually luscious bivalve this season
is without flavor. 1t is learned that the
continued mild weather has caused the
oyster to lose Its juicy flavor. -Norfol1

We are glad to be able to say tina,
this is not the case with Rappahan-
mock oysters-that is, they are not
poor. The protracted mild weather,
however, has caused depression in the
oyster market. Prices have been low.
and middle-men, who are mostly yes.
sci owners, have lost heavily. Some
of our people who have planting
grounds have withheld from mar.
keting their stock and are waiting
for better prices, which must soon
come.

In the House a resolution was

The pension appropriation bill
carrying $l45,145,23O was passed
in Just ID minutes.
A bill has been introduced which
provides that the rate for all mail
matter of the first class shall be one
cent for each ounce.

ment to the Hay Papncefote treat,
which would authorize the United

a Washington writer declares that
the U. S. Senate is "led" by "leaders'
who are law unto themselves, and
that the rule of this olegarchy con.
trolls the nations destlnies. The
Senate is said to be more costly than
the House of Lords and extravagau,
beyond precedent.
The Ways aud Means Committee
of the House has voted to report the
revenue reduction bill as introduced,
with an amendment making the act
take effect on its passage by the
Senate and the signature by the
President instead of thirty DAYS
thereafter. This bill makes reduc-
ton in the stamp tax OF $4,000, 600.
Representative Swanson made the
opening argument of the minority
For 8 reduction OF the war tax. He
insisted that this government should
collect more revenue from capital,
incomes and profits, rather than
from the consumption and the
business and occupation of the people.
He also demands that a reduction be
made on the tobacco tax.
Unless the drift on the Ship Sub-
sidy bill changes there is likely to be
a wide split IN the Republican party,
preceded by row in the Senate, the
like Of which has not been known
during this Administration. The
opposition is four-fold. Some Sena-
tors are opposing it because of their
dislike for Senator Hanna. Senators
like Allen, of Nebraska, Teller, Of
Colorado, and Pettigrew, Of South
Dakota, have grievances. Other
Senators like Butler, of North Caro-
lima, want to defeat anything the
Republican leaders are in favor of.
The Hopkins reapportionment bill
has been favorably reported by the
committee. This bill will in all
probability be the one adopted by
Congress. 1t will cut some of the

tation is concerned. 1t also pro-
vides that all Congressional Districts

HAWKS AGAIN.

The CITIZEN makes an honest eff.
fort to be always on the side of the
taxpayer and good citizen, and fol-
that reason We have agitated matters
of county improvement which are to
the peoples interest. These ale
being adopted one by one by the
Boards of Supervisors of this and
other counties of the Northern Neck.
There are still some questions to be
taken up by them that we doubt not
will be considered in due season. The
question of enacting a scalp law for
all the counties of the Northern
Neck, which We have urged for
years, has been adopted by some of
the Counties, hut Lancaster seems to
be little dilatory in the matter.
In recent communication to the
Itdeacater Democrat Mr.. j. II. G.
Beverley, of the Board of Agricul-
ture, declares that "there is no hawk
that does not cost the taxpayers in
one year much more than so cents.
They live many years, raising fire.
quently two broods year; hence q
hawks scalp would be an excellent
Investment for the county," We
believe his figures in estimating the
cost to taxpayers each year of a
single hawk are conservative. In
TACT we are inclined to the belief
That they are too. low. 1t does not
take more than two or three sprino
chickens to foot up so cents, and we
DO not believe there is a hawk in the
Northern Neck that would be salts |
fed with this meagre dessert. This
is to say nothing about his destruc. |
