UNIQUE INAUGURAL CEREMONIES

There is much talk concerning the
Senate appropriation bill, which is far
an excess of that passed for the last lis
cal year. a prominent legislator had
This to say on the subject last night:
Six years ago, when the General As
sc.nbl% of Virginia met, ii was confront
Cd with what was considered serious
aIld grave condition. 1t went about 1tF
work with forbodings. IL realized that
expenses mast BE cut down, salaries re-
duced. or a heavier burden imposed upon
the taxpayers of the State. Heavy re-
auctions were made in the running OK
pcnscs OF the State. and the State was
saved from q deficit in the treasury.
The cry then upon all sides was Tor
retrenchmcnt and reform The most
careful scrutiny was exercised over the
appropriations to all of our educational
and clecmosynary institutions, and no
money was appropriated until after the
fullest scrutiny About this time there
was the beginning of an era of uneXam-
pied prosperity in our whole country,
and Virginia has had u period of uneX-
amplcd prosperity, SO far as receipts int
her treasury is concerned.
The General Assembly which is now
in session found a very different condi-
ton Of affairs when they assembled here
on December 18th. A comfortable balance
was in the treasury and the necessity
Tor the rigid economy of six years ago
would seem to have passed. It is wei
known in the history of = State as well
as in that cc an individual that a time
shall come when economy shall be nee
essary to keep expenses from exceeding
incomes.
The greatest danger that can befall
= State is a plethoric treasury. 1t be
gels a spirit OF extravaganza and OK
ncnditures are made without the care
and scrutiny they should have.
Legislative bodies become lees care
ful as to expenditures of public money
and many continuing expenses are in
auguratcd.
''Men fornet that the pendulum O
prosperity may swing backward and that
sources which are looked upon as stable
ones from which 10 draw revenue may
become Very uncertain. The disposition
with men is to allow sentiment to gov
err their actions rather than the dictates
OF cooler judgment.
(Which is the more dangerous condi-
ton. the one which exists now. when 1T

branches of the General Assembly a joint
resolution after less than 20 minutes de-
bate. which appropriates $20o0Ao of the
peoples money 10 an Object however

hereafter determined. or the condition

INCOMPETENT OFFICIAL.

The incompetence of Surveyor Gen
eral Vance is working positive injury
to the public schools of this territory.
His refusal to eXpend the money APP
p%ropriated by congress for the survey
of the public lands in the territory
causes a direct loss TO the school fund.
In each congressional township two
sections of land are reserved for the
public schools. II the lands were sur.
veyed, these school sections could be
leased and considerable revenue de.
rived. Mr.. Vance receives $4,000 a
year salary and the total expenses Of
the surveyor generals Office is about
$4,000 a year. The official records
show that II year he expended only
a little over one hundred dollars for
land surveys. This clearly shows how
he has neglected his duties and wasted
the money spent maintaining the Of
fice OF surveyor general in New Mex
leo. He cOse the government in one
year $4,000 and spent sl32 in survey
ing government lands.

NO ADAM AND EVE,

Prof. MCGEE, the et~hnologist, In a
paper read before the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement OF
Science, which has been holding its
session in Denver, Colo, said that
for centuries students had adhered
10 the supposition that mankind had
sprung from the same parentage.
Modern research had shattered this
theory. 1t must be apparent that the
negro, the Monaghan, the Malay and
the Caucasian could not have de.
seconded from the same pair, Talk
of Adam and Eve having set up house
keeping in the Garden OF Eden was,
in the opinion Of the professor, alb
surd There must have been several
such couples. The professor contin-
ued along these lines for thirty min
utes! when Prof. Dorsey defended
the first parent theory and gave eN,
haustiye data to make his argument
effective. In this he was only see.
onded by Prof, Russell OF Harvard.
but IL was O O apparent that Niece
had the best OF the argument, as all
the rest OF the members went over 10
his side. II Is o settled beyond
controversy that the old story is a
myth and Mark Twain wasted his time
In shedding tears over the grave If
Adam.

INCREASING IMMIGRATION.

immigration into the United States,
which reached a low ebb in the fiscal
years ending in 1897 and 1898, has APP
parently taken an upward urn again.
The lowest point, since the fiscal year
1879, was reached in the year 1898,
when only 229.2 99 immigrants landed
in the United States. The following
year the total rose to 81 .7l5. In the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1900, the
figure mounted to 44S,572, and in the
year lately ended no less than 4s7 ,9lS
alients were admitted. This is the
largest number coming into the United
States In any year since 1893, and is
more than came in the years 1897 and
1898 combined. The total Is not up
TO the figures OF the early SOS or OF
the early '90s, but IL is well above the
average for the last three decades,
Whether the early years OF the decade
now opening will see a repetition If
the experience of the beginnings Of
the last two remains to be seen; at
present indications point that way.

PLANT TREES.

In the time of the unusually hot
weather the past summer the people
evidently appreciated, as never befora,
the benefit of trees. The work and
cost of planting trees seemed very
small In contrast with the comfort and
pleasure they gave at such a time, and
II may be expected that still more
trees will be planted next spring. This
can be encouraged by systematic or
~ganization, as has been done In many
western cities and towns. Such ef'
fort has recently been extended 10
even the large cities. II is said that
