CLOSING THE GAPS.

In his recent speech at this place
Hon. A. j. Montague touched on two
important national issues in way
that is worthy of note. He declared
that the Democrats could not resur-
rect the silver issue. and that there
was no need todoso. The large out
put of gold and the increased circula-
ton of national currency had SO
multiplied the volume OF money that
the ends sought by the Democrats of
free silver tendencies had been accom-
plished His handling OF this subject
was very erudite, and he made the
theme plausible The position taken
by the leader OF the Virginia Democ-
racy is most noteworthy in that 1t
sounds the abandonment of free silver
tenets SO far as Virginia Democrats
are concerned.
The other noticeable feature was
Mr.. Mortgages statement that the
tariff. one of the most absorbing OF
national questions, was no longer IA
dividing line between the parties.
Mr.. Mckinley. in his memorable
Buffalo speech had sounded the
knell of extreme protection, and
whether under the Suise OF " reciproc-
ity.' trade alliance or " free
trade" the issue was now one and
the same thing. 1t is the old case OF
the rose by another name
In both of these views THE FREE
LANCE heartily agrees, but We ask
again-What are you going to do
aboutit? The Democraticparty has
no longer "a distinct and separate
financial policy, and the Republicans
have gathered the free trade thunder
for their own oracles. Auti-eXpan-
sion. or anti-impe,iaism. or what
ever it may be called, Is a very uu-
popular theme. and it looks very
much now as though before 1904
rolls around the country WI have
fallen into that way Of thinking and
things VIII be unanimous. The Demo
cratic party in this and other States
made the mistake of the new century
bv not declaring for tariff reform
and that alone of the national issues
in every county. city and state
convention they have held this year.
THE FREE LANCE urged this upon
Virginia Democrats early in the year
an eloquent speaker at the Norfolk
Convention did the same thing, but
personal feelings were weighing more
than matters of party pOllty, ana
the recommendation went unheeded.
His last public speech has done more
to strengthen Mr.. Mckinley's party
and weaken the opposition thanany-
thing heever did. To-day the leaders
of the party in Virginia recognize
this-but too late.

week: when the committee will take
such further action as may be necessary.

THE LIMIT or JUSTICE

one of the most striking and slgnlii-
cant features OF the tragedy that resulted
IN Tia. untimrly death oi President Me-
kinney is connected with the trial "i the
contemplate murderer.
Czolgosz. apparently entitled tono con
sideration whatever at the hands OF hui
man beings. is surrounded by every safe
guard that the law provides and that the
American sense of Justice can suggest.
He il provided with the ablest counsel
that could be procured in New YORK
State and his lawyers are defending him,
in spite of the fact that he refuses to AS
sist in his own defense. choosing rather
to keep his mouth shut in the mistaken
hope that he can convince some one oil
his insanity.
We submit that justice can go no FUR
Their than this; that the limit has been
reached in the case of CzolgOsz, who
stands at the bar absolutely without a
plea. after having committed the most
despicable crime in American history
Newport News Press.
Does not this noted incident iur-
nish an example that should bemore
widely followed? Awful as is the
crime of striking down without cause
one who is at the head OF affairs,
swift and sure punishment here Is no
more meet than if the victim had
been the bumblest citizen How often
have we seen or heard OF trials, where
the culprit had no better excuse than
did this fanatical anarchist, at which
money and an array OF counsel re-
tarded. if they did not absolutely de
feat, the ends of justice. The basic
principle of republican form OF gov
eminent is the legal equality OF al
men. and our Justice is typiied as
wearing the blind-fOld, that she may
know no high or low, rich or poor
but lack of popular Indignation or
publicity causes her to slumber at
times. it would seem, when the poor
and lowly appeal to her for restitu-
ton or revenge. We have an object
lesson which should not be forgotten,
and even as the eminent counsel Tor
the depraved Czoigosz reluctantly
took a case which they knew was
without cause and were faint at heart
in its defense, may we not hope that
this spirit will to some extent be i'm
parted to those having to deal with
causes and people in the humber
walks Of life-

THEY WILL ESCAPE
THE INCOME TAX

Federal office holders in the Hawaiian
Islands Will not have to pay income
tax unless they have some other source
of income than the salaries received
from the United States government.
, This decision was announced by Col
lector Pratt yesterday and relieves the
minds of a good many officials draw
ing pay from the national government,
who were not altogether certain where
they were at"
1t will be remembered that the late
United States Marshal Ray some
months prior to his death requested an
opinion from the Attorney General as
regards the relation of the income tax
10 the salaries of Federal Office holders.
No opinion was given because at that
time the matter was pending in the
Supreme Court
Collector Pratt was then asked for
an opinion and ne requested a ruling
from Robertson & Wilder, the attor-
neys for the tax office. upon that ques-
ton.
Their opinion was submitted several
months ago. and was as follows:
]. w. Pratt, Tax Assessor:
Referring TO the protest of United
States Marshal Daniel a. Ray against
assessment on his salary under the In
come tax law. we have to say that in
our opinion the salaries of federal off,
GERS are not subject to the tax
ROBERTSON & WILDER.
Il is with this ruling as basis that
Assessor Pratt holds that the salaries
OF all officers of the United States are
not liable for the income tax
Returns had already been made by
nearly every official Of the government,
and the majority of them were prepared
to pay it. This exemption would in
clude not only the court officials. but
also the employees in other branches Of
the United States service in the Hawai-
ian Territory.

RAPID WORK ON

the contractor was enabled to employ
a full force, about 125 men. These We're
stretched over 1,5OO feet of the track
work, engaged in every branch of 1t.
The grading for the first filing of rock
was quite a distance ahead of the roller
owing to the fact that the work is pro-

Beginning this morning the street. to
the Reform school. will be cleared of all
debris resulting from the making of the
excavation. This earth will be carted
down to the filing which is to be done
where the line crosses the low places
between the rice fields. As soon as this
is done over a stretch OF 1000 feet the
roller will be sent back and the rock
which has been filed in between the
tracks will be levelled down to the street
grade. The final treatment OF macad-
