IN DISCUSSING THE MARKET ouss
stsInN

President Bohccck said he had given It
years Of study and had found it one OF
the greatest connected with truck growing.
He remembered over twenty years ago
when the orchardists OF California dug up
thousands Of acres Of the finest fruit trees
the world ever saw simply because they
could not solve the market question In
profitable way. Now those same Can-
fornians were raising and disposng or
prodigious quantities OF fruit and truck at
paying prices on account OF the exchange
or cooperative method OF marketing whicn
they had adopted In more recent years.
what was needed was more education
among the growers themselves IN order
thnt they get a better understanding OF the
complexities OF the question.

That Is a question that every gentle

arc in no humor to make a code. But we
will say this much, the man who is a
true gentleman and who has established
his reputation as such always has in
such an ordeal the advantage OF the
situation, and may, except in most ex-
ceptional cases. refuse to soil his bands.
If man In any community has proven
himself to be q thorough gentleman,
and If some bIackguard declares In pub

can well afford utterly to ignore the
false accusation, and treat 1t with dig
nii,ed contempt If a man is known to
be honest and truthful, moral and clean
he will not often be annoyed by san-

so we see the value of a good character

TARIFF AND TRUSTS.

"a committee OF newspaper men have
been organized to urge upon Congress
the advisah;lity Of placing upon the free
list wood pulp and further to reduce the
duty upon paper. This is j. day Of or
Ganizatior, and The Times believes that
corporations are necessary in the conduct
of the great business affairs OF the age.
We take very, little stock in the sHcalled
antitrust laws, because we believe that
they usually do more harm tEan good.
We do not believe in legislation that
tends to hamper trade and development.
We believe that il the natural laws Of
trade are permitted TO have free course
they will work out their own results
with least harm to all interests involved.
But while we are opposed TO hostile
legislation OF this character. we arc
equally opposed to legislation which is
or especially to help any line of trade,
Ia the detriment of other lines OF
trade or TO the distress OF the general
public In short, ne are opposed to
class legislation. whether it be hostile
10 this interest or that, OF whether it
be friendly. IL the manufacturers or
paper choose to organize and work har-
ANONYMOUSLY together it is their own af-
fair. and ne shall not quarrel with then,
about it. But when Congress undertakes
to levy a taxtnpon the consumers of pa
per in this country for the benefit OF the
e paper manufacturers, We enter oul
solemn and. righteous protest Congress
has no right to levy a tax upon the
consumers of paper FOR any such pur-
pose So the duty on pulp and paper
should be repealed.

The Penitentiary.

The Salem Times-Register says:
A great howl of indignation has recent
~ gone up from the press and puplio
about the overcrowded and consequently
unsanitary condition Of the State peni-
tertiary, which is doubtless well found
ed. AS one step towards the improve
ment OF the wretched hygienic conditions
at that institution, Senator Edw. Lyle,
of this district, offered in the Senate
Tuesday resolution that 100 convlcts
,5e removed to the prison farm in Gooch-
land county. The resolution proposes
that these convicts shall tie thus re-
moved regardless of the contract "li;l
the Davis Shoe Company for hire OF
prisoners. The Board Of Directors OF the
renitentiary is directed to spend not
ever $500 in erection Of additional cen
room on the State farm to accommodate
at least 400 prisoners
Senator Lyle might properly have gone
further and required that hundreds OF
these convicts be worked on the punllc
roads or hired to contractors on pllpllc
improvements. Surely there are several
ways to relieve the terrible congeston, 70
thin the prison walls, about Whlch 50
much complaint is made.

MCCARTHY in JACKSON WARD
candidate for Mayoralty Addresses Pen and
Pencil Club,

The Pen and Pencil Democratic Club, OF
Jackson Ward, met last night at NO. 50
North Fifth Street Captain Carlton Nc
Carthy and other candidates spoke.
The club was called to order at Sis b.
President Moss. The following candidate
for the Board of Aldermen. Comma
Council and other city offices We're intro
duced and asked the members OF the club
for their support: Messrs. Stein, Ryan
Bradley. Griffin. Teefey, krause, Dona.
hue, Mccarthy, Otto, Christian, Epps and
Collier, the latter representing City Ser
geant Smith.
The speech of Mr. Joseph Christian was
one of the most unique political addresses
ever delivered He is candidate for the
position of justice of the peace from the
ward, and said: Gentlemen, want to be
Justice Of the peace from this ward. J
want you to support me if you can, and
if YOU can't, I don't give a ----. The
speaker was applauded heartily for his
independence.
Captain Mccarthy was presented by
President Moss. He complimented the
club on having such a president He said
he thought the young man had future
before him. and his election as president
was not an accident.
The speaker referred to what one of the
candidates for the Council had said about
the poor street car service in that section
of the city, and declared that the service
on First, Seventh and Seventeenth Streets
was all poor. 1t was. also poor in the
West End, where he lived. The car COM
panies were SO busy cutting each others
threats between First and Eighteenth
Streets that they We're neglecting tho
suburbs He thought the Council ought
to give this matter their most earnest at
tention.
The candidate spoke Of the good the
corporations had done for the city, and
showed that these were essential for the
progress OF the city. They We're all right
in their places, but they ought not to ride
over the people, and when they tried to
do that they ought to be resisted. He re
ferred to an editorial in a Norfolk Paper
saying that the people who We're trying
to get control of the Council here were
the same people who by oppression and
other wrong policies had brought on the
| strike in Norfolk.
The speaker spent some time in showing
that the poor man and renter did pay
taxes and therefore. ought to take much
interest in the CITY government. He
| closed by inviting all to the Academy
| meeting next Monday night and to the
Old Market Hall meeting next Wednes'
| day night.

MONUMENT TO MAURY.

A brief reference was made in these
columns the other day to the statement
in Harper's Weekly that, to its knoWl-
edge no proposition had ever been made
in this country to erect monument to
Commodore Maury. Since then we have
taken the trouble to look up the record
and we find that the question has been
time and again discussed within the last
eight or ten years. In 1894 julius a.
Palmer, of Boston, took this matter up
ard said in communication to the
Transcript that Commodore A1aury had
done more for the country than even
Columbus.
The Times referred editorially to Mr..
Palmers communication and about the
same time a movement was started IN
Richmond to build a NIaslry monument
The Norfolk papers and the Richmond
papers discussed the proposal, and, as
we said i'll the previous article, X. C.
Murray, editor of the Norfolk landmark
urged that the monument be placed on
the Rip-Rars, opposite Old Point Com
fort. Several articles Of the same char
acter appeared also in the Norfolk Viz
ginian a meeting was held in Richmond
in July, 1894, at the residence OF Professor
Il. p. Minor, for the purpose OF crSaniz-
ing society to take this work in hand
and while a number of persons mani
tested interest, we believe that nothing
definite was done.
% Tor
shire, introduced bill in the United
States Senate providing for an appro-
priation for the erection 5of a monument
to Maury on one of the Government res
ervations in Washington. In Tho Times
of March the 9th, 1897, there was an edi-
torial article in which this tribute OF
Senator Chandler, Northern Republican,
to the South's great scholar and hero
was. Acknowledged. 1t is lit surprising
that Harper's Weekly overlooked this IN
tercsting fact. What became of the
Chandler resolution We do not know, but
we know that it was introduced and
Senator Chandler, in subsequent in
teryicw with The Times correspondent,
in Washington, said some very kind
things about Commodore Maury.
1t is not improbable that this sub
iect will soon be taken up III Richmond
and we sincerely hope that the next move
ment that shall be started will accomplish
its purpose. Commodore Maury did a great
work for science and. it is unworthy OF
us not to pay this deserved tribute to
the man and his achievements.
