The College betrayed the actual extra

work involved in the four extra pages
Of these issues. and this. amounting III
all to something over $780, WAS every

statement about the General .Associa-

may in the circumstances without inn

movement an amount nearly ten times

HoNEsTYiR VIRGINIA.

The Cincinnati Commercial-Tr Tribune re-
produces in part an article from this pa
per bearing on the Ninth District con-
The Tines for what it said in that con-
nection.
The Times is always pleased to be
commended but We do not see why 1t
should be praised for saving that the
Republican cand date for Congress In the
Ninth District should not be counted out
on a mere techn cality, II it could be
proven that he received a clear majority
Of the votes cast. The Times should be
| no more commended for saying that
than it should be commended for saying
that every man ought to have what
rlghtfully and legally belongs to him
and should not be deprived Of his law
ful possessions by technfcalities.
But our Cincinnati contemporary spells
an otherwise agreeable article by put
ting this sting in the tail Of it:
..1he advice not to steal might have
come with better grace If 1t had been
given without accompaniment of the
danger Of beng caught at it. But it
is a good sign of the advance OF public
sentiment when the leading Democratic
paper in virginia insists on absolutely
fair elections
This Is not a fair statement Of the
fact. our first and foremost contention
was that as a purely moral question the
Republican candidate in the Ninth Dis
trict should receive the cert ficate If ne
was fairly entitled to it. 1t was after
laying stress upon the moral phase Of
it that we added cluase saying in eff
feet that IN this case. as in all others,
honesty was not only good morals. but
good pol 5cy. We. are very sorry that the
Cincinnati paper Should think It a
strange thing and a thing worthy Of
comment that a Democratic newspaper
in Virginia should insisrs upon fair cleo
tons There Vas a time when Demo-
Gratis felt that they were compelled to
resort to doubtful expedients il, order
to save the state. or at least sections of
the state. from negro domination IN
politics But now that the negro vote is
out of the way. and now that the danger
has been removed the Democratic news
papers of Virginia are. individually and
collect vely. in favor of fair and honest
elections and are preaching that doc
trtne whenever the occasion requires.

we could easily cite statistics to veri-

them to Mr. BALDWIN, and we have no
doubt that he will prove his case. At
any rate he win surely give an instruc-
tive and uplifting address. and We hope
that he will have large and intelligent
audience to hear him. He comes to us
without any selfish motives. but on the
contrary for the purpose OF helping along
the great cause In which all true men

EcogoHT IN STATE GOVERNMENT.

Senator Wiclshania review OF the
financial condition Of the State does not
make a very good exhibit, but there is
that the constitutional Convention was
making a mistake to reduce arbitrarily
the rate IF taxation and expressed Itself
to that effect when the proposition was
before that body But there is something
to be said on the other side. The colven-
ton was called in part to reduce the ex-
penses of State government. and II was
claimed that under he new Constitution
expenses would be reduced, While reve-
MUGS would be largely increased. The
convention thought if we'll therefore, to
put a check upon the Legislature. and
To enforce rigid economy IN the admins
,ration of public affairs.
II is too late now to discuss the ques-.
convention was wise. 1t is certainly a
good thing Cor the Taxpayers TO have
their taxes reduced 10 cents Oh the hun
dred, but II IS for the Legislature to
carry out the spirit of economy which
The convention had IN view When the re-
duction was made. If the members will
address themselves TO the subJec. in that
spirit we have doubt that the fiscal.
affairs ot the State Will go on without
embarrassment.
We DO hope, however. that the Legisla

au opinion is abroad that members can

lobbyists can bring TO bear on them. We

desc men a wide berth. and stand for
the best interests of the people at large.
Abingdon virginsan: A decent appro-.
priation for the ST. Louis Exposition is a
step IN the right direction, and we hop

mosities and make an appropriation that
yirgiuians will be proud to own.

rnittee. The regular committee of the

gency.
Norfolk Ledger: The General Assembly
is just now considering the subject Of
t,ta on merry-go-rounds. which suggests
that from the number of times the Legis-
iature has been in session this term it is
something of a merry go-round itself.
