HASTY LEGISLATION.

THE newspapers Of Richmond haze
shown that during the extra session
of the Legislature Just closed. Il
number Of bills giving wide powers
to private corporations were rushed
through without having been printed
or considered in committee, and Of
whose character the members. gene
rally speaking, knew little or moth
ing.
This sort of thing is getting to be
too common in the Virginia Iegisla-
ture and some vigorous action should
be taken to put a stop to it. No bill,
except under. the most urgent clrcum-
stances, should be taken up and pass
ed without having run the gauntlet
of the committee rooms. and no new
bills should be introduced within ten
days or two weeks Of final adjourn
ment. Law-making is 4 serious bust
ness and it is not to be entered into
hastily and unadvisedly. Every bill
introduced should be carefully stud
led. line by line, by the proper COM
mlIteeS before ever IL Is l)siSoSt, anu
members should insist upon it that
this course be taken before voting on
any measure.
Too often these mischievous bills
are rushed through under the preteXt
Of being purely local measures. At
the regular session Of the Legislature
last winter, such a bill was put
through without reference to COM
mittee but somebody discovered the
character OF it, quite by accident,
however. and upon further eXamina-
ton it was found that the bill per-
mitted Il corporation to run 4 gam
Cling institution. in defiance OF the
anti-gambling law of the State.
When the regular session meets
next winter. it is to be hoped that
steps will be taken in advance TO
prevent a repetition of this practice.

LIGHT AT LAST.

Some time ago-only a few months
ago, indeed-the Indianapolis News
contained an editorial article in which
the editor undertook 10 lecture the
Southern people OH the subject OF
lynching. But the darkness of the
editor has been lightened by recent
incident \ white woman was as
saulted by 4 negro man and the editor
of the News makes this reference to
the outrage:
People in this neighborhoou ought
TO have Il better understanding at
least of, if not more sympathy with,
the temper of our Southern brethren
when the best people of Il commu-
nifty turn out and lynch a negro for
assault. When {: frail and innocent

rible treatment suffered by Miss Oar

geance, swift, sure, unwaitins. is the
impulse. We are utterly and always
opposed to summary Justice by the
mob, even of best people. But we can
now better understand how strong
the temptation thereto can be. We
earnestly hope that no possible effort
Will be left untried to discover the
criminal and bring him to punish
ment. The county or the State might
well offer Il large reward for his APP
prehension.
The Northern people never under
stand this phase of the negro question
until they are brought face to face
with it. In The Times of Yesterday
was the report of the lynching Of 4
negro brute at Terre Haute, Ind. for
assaulting Il White woman. The mob
broke the Jail open, took the prisoner
out and hung Aim, after which they
cut the body down and burned it.

The New York Sun SAYS:

"a remarkable law passed by the
Virginia Assembly lays Il State tax OF
$500 on peddlers. but allows farmers
and truckers to hawk their own pro-
duce. The constitutionality Of the law
is to be tested. and there can be little
doubt of the decision of the court.
The Southern and Western Legisla-
lures are especially fond Of this sort
Of law. Probably they don't care
whether the statute will hold water or
not. They want the farmer vote and
they are not to blame for the tyranny
Of the courts
Our objection to all such laws is
that through them the taxing power
is employed for some purposes other
than to raise revenue. We do not be-
lieye in using the taxing power as 4
police regulation, or for any other
purpose than to raise revenues needed
by government for legitimate cX-
penses, and hence we are opposed to
tariff for protection and the prohlbl-
tory tax on State bank issues.
