ELIZtBETH RIVER TUNNEL.
Would Garry Electric Cars, Driveway

Would Carry Electric Cars, Driveway
and Water and Gas Mains.
The Norfolk papers and the Portsmouth
Star greatly favor the scheme OF tun-
melting Elizabeth River. but the Ports
mouth representatives are opposing it.
The Portsmouth Star says:
a great deal of influence Will be brought
to bear to defeat it, because should the
tunnel be built it would interfere with
the receipts of the ferries There are
also other interests which will be against
it. The proposed tunnel would be, If 1t is
built, a great card for this section and
would materially aid in bringing the three
sister cities in close touch with one an
other
The scheme is that the tunnel will be
large enough for a. trolley line and a
driveway and the bill now in the Legls-
lature provides that its owners sha |
have the right to rent space in it for
water mains, gas mains, telephone and
telegraph cables.
The tunnel will be cut directly between
Norfolk and Portsmouth with a branch
to Berlzley. Whatever facilities may be
established for safer, quicker oheaoer
and popular intercommunicauon the
smaller cities will derive the greater
benefits. The greater city of the three
may urge the most powerful demand
but the smaller city will obtain the
greater sproportionate utility.

BRANCH LINE TO NEW MARKET,
Captain OFT Paralyzed-Boyd Meyers
Acquitted of Obs;ructing halfway.
Dispatch to The Times.}


WOODSTOCK, VA, Jan. 29.-An effort
is being made by the citizens or Ne"
Market to have the Southern Railway
Company extend a swith from j. u.
Mauors mill to the town, distance OF
about one and three-QuarteTT miles. Inc
deDot is now about two miles from the
town. and this arrangement would be
quite an advantage over the stage line, as
now operated.
Rev. Samuel L. Keller, who until re-
Gently was preaching in Canada, has
accepted call from the Lutheran
Church at Waynesboro, Va, and lett to
fill the charge.
Rev. j. D. Hamaker, of Strasburg, has
been called to fill the vacancy here in the
Christian Church.
Capt j. C. OFT, a prominent and highly
respected citizen of this place, who has
been associated with the Shenadoah Her
aid for a number of years past, was
paralyZed on last Friday in his speech.
and is now in a critical condition.
Boyd Myers, the tifteen-year-old son
of Mr.. John w. Myers. of near Saums-
vile, Shenandoah county. Va. was tried
last Saturday on the charge of obStruct-
ing the Southern Railway track at Maui
rertown Va, but was acquitted.
On December Goth. 1900, he, with three
young boys, were passing over the track,
when he dropped q piece of walnut 2x2x36
inches in the frog at the switch. A ce-
feet in the warrant and the inability to
prove malice on the part of the young
man caused his dismissal.

TRUSTS AND paNICs.

This country mas been enjoying a season
of great prosperity and many people ana
now asking themselves how long pros
perity viii last and when the next pa;i1c
will come. 1t seems to be accepted as
fact that a period of hard times will fol-
low this period of prEpegity and that
sooner or later the country will be in
the throes of a money panic 1t is pre-
dicted that business revolution of great
er or less magnitude will take place some
time before the year 1905. at what precise
moment no one, we believe, Is willing
to say, but counting from 1893 we have
already passed the seventh Of the ten
years which usually complete an indus
trial cycle In the light OF past expe-
riences therefore, the prophets are say
ing that a catastrophe cannot be very
far distant.
Prof F. NJ. Taylor, Of the University
of Michigan, has an Interesting article
on the subject in the last issue OF Leslie's
Weekly, III which he takes the ground
that the trusts will have a great deal 10
do with preventing panics in the future
His opinion is based on the fact that the
trust, from its very nature, tends to
insure society against That misdirection
of its energies that over-production in
some directions and under-production in
others which constitutes one of the most
important causes of panic. AS long as
industries were carried on in small shops
for local market" he says, the pro-
Queer usually made no serious error in
judging the probable extent of the de-
mand. but when industries passed into
the large-scaie stage, where producer and
consumer were widely separated. the diff
feuity of forming such judgments We're
greatly increased. 1t would, indeed, have
baen easy to ascertain the probable con-
sumption of the whole country. or even
OF the whole world, but SO long as there
was a competition among a large NUM-
Der of producers getting cut the same
commodity the real question for each
was not what win be the total amount
consumer" but. rather, what will be
the total amount for which 1 can find a
market % Naturally enough self-conti-
dence us well as seh-interest would lead
him to exasserate this amount. II then

Salaries OF supreme Ju.lres,

Now that the Legisla ture IS having such
struggle to elect a Supreme Judge, the
following figures from Law Notes are OF
interest-and show that the plum in this
State is hardly worth the scramble-ex-
cept for fame: "A list Of the salaries OF
the judges of the higher courts in the vaTi-
Gus States in the Union, compiled by Mr..
c. d. Merrcll OF West Virginia, is in
teresting. Lenving on one side the judges
OF the Supreme Court OF New York, in
New York county, who receive S17,500 an
nually, and the Brooklyn judges, who re-
ceive $4,000, the highest salaries are paid
to the judges OF the Supreme Court of the
United States and the Court of Appeals of
New York, who receive E10,0O0, with $500
more for the chief justices.
New Jersey gives her chancellor and
judges a salary of $4,000. Pennsylvania S
Supreme judges receive $1,000 the chief
justices $500; Michigan pays her Supreme
judges $1,000: Massachusetts, $500, with
$500 more for the chief justice. CALIFORNIA;
Supreme judges get $4,000: Rhode Islands
$500 -Four States consider $1,000 enough
to pay their higest judges-Colorado, Illi-
nois, Kentucky. Minnesota-and Missouri
Nevada and Indiana allow them $4,000
-Four thousand dollars is the salary in
Connecticut, Iowa, Montana, North Dako-
ia, Ohio, Texas and Washington. In Ala
barnay Arkansas. Georgia, Delaware Flori-
ds. Maine, Maryland. Mississippi, New
Hampshire, Oregon and Tennessee the
aIaries range from s., soc to $4,000.
Along the 5000 ille fail the incomes OF
the judges in Idaho. Kansas. Nebraska.
North Carolina, South Carolina. South Da-
kota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, West Viz

the salaries are highest in the great com
mercial States OF the east and the upper

William It. Thomas. an intelligent man
of the coiored race, has written a book
on The American Negro The author
was born in Ohio and his grandparents
were natives OF Virginia lie is said to
be man OF intelligence and culture. and
his book is referred by those who have
read 1t in complimentary terms. He re-
fers particularly TO The manner in which
the colored vote in the South has been
manipulated in the interest Of designing
white men. whose chief aim, OF course.

has been to put themselves into Office. he
denies that the outrages and mlseries of
reconstruction and carpet-bag admins
tration were due In any proper sense of
the word to the negro. He does not care
for the political rights of his race as long
as they are unable to make any intelii-
gent use OF them. I'VE may easily adj
nit" he writes. that 1t was a caricature
on manhood suffrage to invest with civic
functions ignorant beings clothed IN
patches, sleeping in novels and scarcely
one remove in intelligence from their in
separabie animal companions of planta-
ton life But with this goes the state
ment that 'the ulle negro has in no in
stance controlled a State or county GOV
eminent, or even dictated an important
nomination. He is now, as he was the
first day of his enfranchisement, the
partisan tool of designing white men.
OF the negro vote through the Southern
States the author AYERS that "a venal
Southern white Republican is its recog-
nized political master" Elsewhere he
speaks Of the negro having been led to
political ruin by 1.-The culpability of the
white leadership This condition Will
last, he believes, until the South really
has a white Republican partisan organi-
cation, something which does not exist
to-day, in his judgment. To bring this
about he would have the Republican Adj
ministration in Washington distribute the
offices among the leading whites of the
-l,r,
are naturally in sympathy with Republi-
can sentiments but debarred from ex-
pressing them by reason of their fear OF
negro domination. With these for leaders
and a steady propaganda for the eNten-
sion of knowledge and pure religion
among lis fellow blacks, the author be-
lieves ;ila. the most serious problem in
American Government may be slowly
and peacefully solved.
We have never seen stronger argu-
ment from any source for the repeal of
the Fifteenth Amendment. 1t was this
stupid biunder that got the negro into
trouble and caused the ..outrageS and
miseries of reconstruction and, as the
author of this book says, the negro was
not directly responsible. But the remedy
which he now suggests would not be eff
fectire- The only way to build up {; re-
spectacle Republican party in the South
is to eliminate, for a time at least, the
negro vote. This, in our opinion, would
be the greatest possible boon TO the black
man. His right to vote has done him no
good, but only harm, and he would have
been far better off all these years with
