ABUSING THE LEGISLATIVE

n Ut SlNb III A%i+Ni''i--' ''''
We do not see how in common
lstice there can be any complaint
lncerning the work of the General
Assembly. which has Just adjourned,
and vet now and then We hear some
one. usually a correspondent OF a
newspaper. allcge that thelegislature
has done nothing. Fortunately, the
vast majority OF the Virginia people
are lust i'm their verdictS. and these
recognize the fact that not only was
the late General Assembly one OF the
hardest working bodies OF its kind
that ever assembled fn this state,
but that it faithfully carried ont the
pledges OF the ante-electiOn speakers
The legislature may not have done
all that many individual members OF
the body and many citizens OF the
State hoped would be done. and 1t
NAV have done some things that 1t
ought not TO have done. but until a
portion OF the human race becomes
nbued with divine wisdom,a and legiS-
l,tors are selected from those so Ell
dowed. this will continue TO be- the
case.
II notbino more of a general nature
hid been done by the legislature
than the additional appropriation
OF 100000 for public school I'M
provement. the creation OF the state
Road Commission and the act au-
tborizing the working OF cOnyicts
and short term prisoners on thepub-
lie roads. and the passage OF the
two cent railroad passenger rate bill,
it would still be deserving of the
highest praise and entitled to the
gratitude and thanks OF the people
Ii would be interesting TO know
what these chronic gTumbers
wanted. and equally interesting To
know what they expected. 1t would
probably be ludicrous if "a small
number of them were members OF the
legislature, and dangerous II large
number should find membership m
that body. The presence OF the
chronic grumbler and fault finder is
one of the evils which the balance OF
the human kind are forced to bear
and there is no way to get rid ofhim,
and he is too narrow and selfish TO
acknowledge that there is any good
in any body, unless he happens to be
the recipient OF some special personal
favor. He will never grow broad
enough to see any virtue in any gen
eral legislation for the public good.
He believes in special privileges, when
he is the dopee OF the privilege.

DON'T START ANOTHER
PENSION SYSTEM.

The bill now pending in Congress
to fix an age limit for government
department clerks appears 10 us to
be manifestlv unjust to the clerks.
and the proposition to pension the
clerks retired under the proposed bill
is as manifestly unjust to the people
who pay the taxes. 1t is unjust to
the clerks TO fix any uniform age
limit. because while some men may
become incompetent on account OF
age at sixty or earlier, Others may
be equally as efficient at seventy-hve
or even eighty as they were at forty.
When a clerk : usefulness ends, from
whatever cause, his services should
be dispensed with. No man has ever
vet been compelled to become a gov
eminent clerk. On the contrary
there is a continual strugglefOrthese
positions on the part Of people in
every section of the land No man
or woman would make application
for or accept such a position II 1t
were not for his or her betterment or
advancement. The government
clerk, as well as every other person.
i'm whatever avOcatiOn engaged,
should make some provision for the
incapacity brought about by old age.
The salaries of some of them may be
too small for this purpose, but so
are the incomes OF thousands upon
thousands of other people, following
other vacations, and who would
cheerfully accept government posi-
tions for the betterment of their con-
ditions. Why, therefore, should these
latter be taxed to provide pensions
for the former? The idea is wrong in
principle, but our experience with the
frauds and outrages which have
been perpetrated in the name OF pen
sions for military service GU should
be enough to damn the whole prof
ect. The bill, to begin with, ought
to be killed, for it will surely be fol
lowed by scheme to pension, and
we had better have a few old fellows
drawing salaries, in exchange for the
best work they are able to give, than
a new army OF pensioners, with the
attendant evils which follow such a
system.
