THE yIEGINIaN-PlLoT NlsUN,
liIKSTANIS Us.

Elsewhere we print an article from the
virginian-P PROT, of Norfolk. CT Il as ns some
remarks The Times recently made upon
trusts or industrial combinations. 1t is
somewhat of tax upon US to have to give
rp SO much space for the brief portion OIL
our contemporary article that we pro
pose to comment upon, but 1t is our desire
MT ali times to be perfectly fair and we
had rather yield this space than have a
suspicion raised that we n1srepresent
{ 1t.
The substance OF the pilots article Is
that The Times had intended to intefpose
I between corporations and the legislative
1ower and have corporations relieved Of
ANY risk of the legislative power curling
them in their objects and aims.
! But that was not tho purpose. Of The
Times in the article quoted from by the
vlrEinian-Pilot, and 1t has not been the
purpose OF The Times in any other arti
cie Tho extract quoted by the Virsin!an-
Plot from one of The Times art cles
deals, not with corporations, hut with an
association of individuals. Our contention
has been, from the time this subject was
brought under discussion. that whatever
: one man had a right to do when acting
by himself. two men had an equal right
10 do when acting together in concert,
and If two men could do so, any number
might equally do the same. For this rea-
son we have always commended that 1t
would be tyranny and oppression to at.
tempt to suppress combined action Of
men, where their motive was unexcep-
uonablc, merely because they had vast
means and acquired a large control over
a particular business,
But The Times has never commended that
the Legislature had no moral or legal
right to operate upon corporations by
hostile legislation. Corporations are the
creations Of the Legislature, and all char
ters OF corporations are expressly liable
10 alteration. amendment and repeal. If
the Legislature deems 1t wise to regulate
the operations OF corporations. there is
no moral or legal obstacle 10 its doing so.
In our opinion many OF the regulations
suggested and advocated are Unjust, I'M
wise. ana most ill-adrised. The prod:g-
ious strides which our civilization has
made in the past hundred years are due
almost entirely to corporations and foul
blow would be struck our development
: in The future If il should become the fash
ion OF the day TO hamper and embarrass
corporations by unfriendly legislation that
would disincline capitalists to invest their
money in them. But that is a matter that
relates 10 sound public policy, and that
mas no relation TO moral or legal right.
We think this ought TO make the posi-
ton of The Times perfectly clear. but If
ths fNirsinian+l'ilot should find itself una
he to understand US. we Mil take pleas
ure in clearing ap any part of the case
1t does not understand.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CONvEN-
TON.

We would say to our esteemed con-,
temporary, the Fredericksburg Free
Lance, that The Times is still Of opinion
that the best and safest way to effect
changes in the Constitution of the State
is through the process of amendment,
rather than by Constitutional conven-
ton. But It SENS to be impracticable
to secure these needful changes by legis-
lative Initiative. and as the proposal is
made in good faith TO hold a Constitu-
tional convention in the interests of
pure ballot. We waive our objections to
the convention, and give the measure
our cordial approval and support
We believe that the people of Virginia
have determined to reform the ballot and
to remove every pretext for fraud and
trickery. 1t is not necessary to say
that The Times is in hearty sympathy
with such a movement, and. therefore.
in favor of the Constitutional convention
which has that great object in view. 1t,
will be a great day for Virginia when
this thing has been accomplished.

CURRENT TOPICS


The Louisville Courier-J Journal de-
clares that the assassination of Mr..
Goebel was unduestionably the logical
outcome of the course which the oppo-
sition to Mr.. Goebel has pursued through
out this unprecedented struggle"
The Courier-Journal contends that Mr..
Goebel has thoroughly followed rigor-
ously the plain provisions of the law"
and that it is beside the question to say
that the law is bad one.
when under that law it goes on.
.'the election returns on their face gave
a majority to Taylor. Goebel, adherins
strictly to the law. appealed from the
State Commission : to the StN.e LeGis-
lature. the one tribunal authorized to
go behind the returns and decide the is,
sue in dispute between him and his OPP
ponent. At every step of these pro-
ceedings the Democrats have followed the
law: at very step their opponents have
proclaimed their purpose to go outside
and beyond all law should the decision
of the lawful tribunals be against them.
BY open threats of violence and revo-
luton they sought to intimidate the State
Commissioners, as they have sought
to intimidate the Legislature Not
stopping at mere threats. they brought
from the mountains hundreds of men
armed with rifles and rerclyers-1nen
from a region where the vendetta Is a
vocation and assassination from ambush
It's instrument-and these they assembled
upon tho very steps Of the Capitol and
Quartered in Its shadow.
I'VE do not mean to say that there are
not many Republicans in the State who
condemn this act of an unknown assas-
sin. But We do mean to say that this
act is directly due to the course pur-
sued by the leaders of this anti-Goebei
fight; that the responsibility for this new
shame which has befallen Kentucky is
theirs. and. that Goebers blood is upon
their hands,.
We make this extract from the Cou-
rier-Journal's columns that our readers
may see Mr.. Goebel's side of the story.

A Dark Hour For E,uglend

Sidney Low in the Fortnighuy)
There was a very dark day on Black
Friday" 1745. when the young pretend
er, with the Highland clansmen, was at
Derby. with nothing between him and
London but Cumberland's half-Crgan-
/ lied, haif-hearted force at Finchley,
and when a French invasion, supported
by a great JacObite rising ali over Eng
land, appeared imminent. Again, there
were some gloomy days in the autumn
Of 1881, when England, badly wCrsted
on land by the American c0lOnists, had
temporarily lost the command of the
sea, and was opposed &c a coalition Of
the maritime states of the world. She
had the three great navies Of the con-
tinent-thOSe of France, Spain and Hol-
land-against her, at the same time
that the northern powers, with Russia
at their head, had constituted the arm

tened to hamper and Il { the British
naval operations. WI CORVALLIS
