tho night Of May 18th. the subject OF dis-
cusion being the colonization OF the negro
Public debates are always to be en-

Gifts From Foreigners.

President Roosevelt has been hhrsh1y
criticised for refusing to accept proffers
I 81 aid for San Francisco froin foreign
governments and municipalities aud has,
therefore, deemed It proper to send to Com
gress message OF explanation. lie says
that those offers came from the Canadian
government from Mexico, from C1unto-
iinala, from China, from Japan, New Zeal
and Martinique and many municipal cor
fporations and Individuals III England, Gcr-
many, France, Japan, Cuba and other
countries. In each case, says he, he re-
piled, expressing the gratitude OF the
United States for these friendly overtures
and adds that where these offers are
made to the private relief committees
organized to deal with the distress IN san
Francisco he has taken no ofllcial &C.
ton concerning them, but that where
tl,cy were rendered to him in his ofl1cial'
capncity, he did not feel warranted IN
accepting.
It seems to us that the President acted
wisely and with due regard for the pro-
preties. It is ono thing for q foreign
government to send gifts to San Fran
cisco direct; It Is another thing to SEND
such gifts to the President Of the United
states to be used for relieving distress distress
within our borders. TO receive such gifts
offlcially would be to put the United states
government in false and Illuminating
position.

Virginia and immigration.

The Southern Farm Magazine commends
the Virginia plan to send Commissioners
Koiner to England and other parts OF
Europe to encourage immigration, and
says that this is going about the business
of immigration in the right way Lit
crature," says our contemporary, set
ting forth accurate facts about the OPP
portunities Of the State for settlers, 8 all
right, and Virginia is publishing Just
that kind of matter. Discussions at home
Of the benefits of immigration to the State
Is all right as a stirrer up Of the public
mind on the subject and a preparation
for ,the, proper reception Of newcomers.
That discussion Is being vigorously car
rled on aby the press, but other things
must be done. There must be g face-to-
fnce talk with the desired Immigrant; he
must meet personally some one thoroughly
acquainted with the land that he would
adopt. Tho true way, the most satIsfac-
tory way to got immigrants. is to go In
search Of them. That Commissioners
Koiner intends to do, and. banking upon
the intelligent and Jealous work he has
already done at home and the practical
results he has accomplished with limited
means, the prediction may be safely made
that the $4,000 provided for immigrant ton
work through him abroad will be discov-
cred 10 be one Of the best investments of
money that Virginia has ever made"
There are immigrants and immigrants.
It is easy enough to get immigrants, but
Virginia wants only those who are we'll
adapted to her demands. We have been
peculiarly free from foreignisms. because
our people are for the most part native
born and thoroughly saturated with Vir-
rinia sentiment, We are capable Of alb
sorbing to degree foreign element. but
we want the right sort Of material to
work on The only way to get 1t is to
send a Virginian into the field and let
him make selections. The Virginia plan
Is the only practicable plan for us and the
money thus expended will bring the de-
sired result. Commissioner Koiner is Pc
culiarly fitted for this service and ne
understands so we'll our conditions and the
demands Of the situation. that he Will get
suitable Immigrants or none.

The Trolley in Virginia.

II Is announced that Suffolk is to have
n street railway system and that sooner
or later will be q trolley service, end
tho operation OF IN interurban limo be-
tween Suffolk and Norfolk. There are
at present four steam railways between
those points, and another Is now building.
It would seem that these roads would
be SUFFICIENT to accommodate tho traffic,
but the trolley line builds up local
traffic of it's own and for local purposes
ia more convenient than q steam road.
We have two steam roads between Rtcn-
mond and Petersburg but the trolley
line is we'll patronized and Its patronage
Is constantly growing. Strangely enough
the steam roads have not been seriously
affected; the trolley line has created Its
own business.
With IL trolley line from Richmond tc
Petersburg and another from Suffolk te
Norfolk 1t will not be long before the gHx
between Suffolk and Petersburg will be
built and we shall have n continuous cleo.
tric railway service between Richmond
and Norfolk. The more trolley lines he
better. They are playing an importanl
part In progress and economy. The steam
roads centralized the population In the
cities; the trolley line has come as u

/ Tn,man's speech attacking tho Federal
Judges that he called names and speci-
Ned charges Our judges are only men
and they are 1T subjects Of criticism, as
| nre other men holding public trusts. But
| there Is By popular consent nScertn'h sane
tity of judicial erliine which differcntntes
the 1tidgc oil the bench from other pub
lie officials Senator Bailey thinks there
IL no distinction between a Judge and
Congressman. No matter what Senator
Bailey thinks the people do make such
distinction. The Congressman deals WIN WIN
general propositions and : no Is expected
to be biased In his views and Influenced IN
his public acts BY his party atlllatlon.
Tho Judge on the bench deals Win
specific cases Involving the rights ana
interests and sometimes the life OF u
t1yidunls. And In rendering his decisions
ho is supposed to be governed ny me
law and tho evidence, without respect to
persons or politics. Mr., Bailey himself
paid this burning tribute to the judiciary:
1.-THE great Judge. the man OF modest.
upright life! walk by his SIDE ana !
feel honored BY his friendship. There is
not In all The history OF the world
nober example than that OF the great
English Judge who, when told that MS
King wanted him. sent this defiant mes
sage to the King:
''Tell him will decide tfisecase nc.
cordng to the very truth and justice or
It, and without regard to the pleasure OF
the King.
,.Such men as that have made our race
foremost in the civilization Of nll times
and countries. From him to this day no
man in all our public life finds reader
tribute from the people than the brave,
the honest and the upright Judge. No
man respects them more than l. But from
every place would hunt the man who
soils the erlnino, for It Is my belief that
judges name should be rs unsullled as
womnn's reputation. and every Judge WHO
does injustice should be branded.
True. But every person. especially
Senator in Congress, of national reputa-
ton, should be careful how he attacks
the judiciary and especially careful OF
the impression he makes on the general
public. The court system is founded In
popular faith. The people respect the
courts and accept their decisions because
they have confidence In the integrity and
Justice OF the Judges. Shake that conf
dence and the structure will shake; de-
stroy 1t, and the structure will crumble
and fall.
