THE SHERIFF. AND TIE SOLDIERS.
Some unthinking people have been
disposed to criticise the sheriff ard
the military boys for protecting the
negro Walter Bankhead from mob
violence. If such people weuld only
stop to think they would be COM
PEELED to commend instead of criti.
else the sheriff, his deputies and the
soldier boys. Not n man among
them would raise a hand to protect
negro ravisher if they consulted only
their own feelings and wishes in the
matter. If, without overriding the
law, the negro could have been put to
death, they would not have objected
in any way.
Sheriff Batson is q sworn officer.
He took solemn and binding obll-
gatisn to uphold the law. This obli-
Cation he has respected. He did not
make the Iaw-the state of Missis-
sippI did this-and If it is wrong the
state is wrong, not the sheriff. Be-
sides the law in the case, Sheriff
Batson had positive orders from the
governor to protect the prisoner. The
governor wired the sheriff Saturday
afternoon as follows:
jackson. June Z, 1902.
ST. f. BATSoN, Sheriff, Hattiesburg,
Miss.
Protect prisoner in any event.
Summon posse of citizens, and mill
tary company at your place will be
furnished if necessary.
"a. H. LONGING, Governor"
Yesterday Sheriff Batson received
the following:
jackson, June s, 1902.
T. r. BATsoN, Sheriff, Hattiesburg,
Miss.
Company Il ordered to Hatties-
burg. Judge Enochs en- route. Pro-
tect prisoner.
"A. Fl. LONGING, Governor"
Now if Sheriff Batson, in the face of
the law and contrary to the orders of
the governor, had net made every
effort to protect the prisoner he
would have laid himself liable to
removal. The truth is the sheriff
had most unpleasant and disa-
greeable duty to perform, but he
bravely rose to the occasion and did
his duty as an officer of the law. For
this adherence to an unpleasant duty,
he deserves praise-not censure.
AS to the military companies, they
did only what they were ordered to
do. They had no option in the
matter and had to obey or be court
martlaled and diSgraced. Or course
no reasonable man can censure them
This is no defense of the negro. II
guilty, death would be too good fol
him. A vile brute who would violate
woman is worthy of no considera-
ton. He should be dealt with as a
rattlesnake or viper and if evidence
of his guilt was sufficient the nm.
written law should have been en-
forced before he was landed in Jail
After passing into the custody of the
sheriff, it became question OF
official duty and law and there was
but one course left for a conscientious
officiai-the upholding of the law.

TO CLEAR PHILIPPINE TITLES.
Land Registry Bill Proposed by the
Taft Commission.

A dispatch from Manila yesterday saws:
The United States Philippine commission
has decided to enact a land registry bill
drafted by Commissioner Ide. The bill
adopts the Torres registry system, with
notifications to fit the local conditions and
creates a land titles court. Land titles
throughout the islands are at present cloud
ed to such an extent that sales of land and
its Improvement are retarded.
An enormous task is involved in the labor
of clearing titles. Government lands which
were sold under authority of the Philippines
act after that act passed the American Con-
gress will be recorded under the Torres sys-
tenn.
The commission has passed a bill defining
the terms under which the Manila street
railway franchise Is to be granted. This
bill provides for the award of the fra nchiSe
by competition. Bids will be opened next
March after advertisement here and in the
United States.
The depreciation in the value of silver has
cost the insular government approximately
$1A 10000 In gold, as the government Is car
rylng $1OOOOOO in silver. Further depre-
citation will increase the loss. The official
rate now is $40 silver for 81 gold The
prospective surplus which the government
planned to devote to needed public improve
ment has vanished. and a small deficit
seems inevitable. Discomfort on account OF
the fluctuating currency is general. Many
merchants and others have sustained losses
proportionate to that Of the government,
and hundreds of firms have put their BUSH
ness on gold basis.
1t is believed that the Philippines will ex-
perience a rice famine. The islands crops
are small the oriental supply seems limited,
and the price is advancing rapidly. 1t Is
possible that the government will be forced
to provide supplies for the poorer natives

VIRGINIA REGISTRATION Law.
| Effort to Make the Understanding
Clause Permanent
acial Correspondence of The Evening Star.

Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, October q. 1902
An attempt is to be made when the gen.
eral assembly reconvenes to engraft upon
the new constitution an amendment to
make permanent what is known as the I'M
derstanding clause of the new constitution.
BY enactment of the constitutional conven-
ton the understanding clause was made
operative until January. 1904, and the
amendment which is to be offered is to
have the clause made permanent II is
contended that the clause has had the effect
of killing of more undesirable voters than
any other provision, blacks and whites alike
getting the benefit of the section.
Mr.. John Goode. who presided the
convention, was In the city yesterday for
the first time since the adjournment of the
convention He says that in his section of
the state the republicans are inclined to ac-
cept the new constitution, and to the opin-
lon that 1t will be beneficial to the state at
large. The registration ordinance, he said,
had been fairly administered in his section,
and had given entire satisfaction to the best
men of both parties.
Another matter which will engage the at
tention of the general assembly when it
conVeneS here next month will be the re-
apportionment of the state for members Of
Congress. 1t will be recalled that a reap
portionment bill was passed at the last ses-
sion, and in the closing days 1t went to the
governor for his approval: Gov. Montague
promptly vetoed the bill, the opinion being
that 1t initiated against the members of
Congress who had been friendly to him
when he was a candidate for governor. 1t
was after many of the members had left
for their homes and no action could be
taken by the legislature There was a good
deal of talk about going to court, the
friends of the measure holding that the
governor had no right to interfere in a mat
ter which related exclusively to congress
sional representation. 1t Is said that
enough votes have been secured to guaran-
tee the passage of the mea sure over the
governors veto in case he should veto the
bill again
