WASHINGTON LETTER,
CFrom our KeRuIsr Iorresnonoe,

From our Regular correspondent
Washington, d. c.. Jan. 27.-Un-
less the unexpected happens, the anti.
joint statehood campaign is not only
dead, but beyond resurrection. The
insurrectionary force of the House ia
broken beyond reconstruction and the
insurgent leaders are now devoting
their time to telling how it happened,
which is not so important as the fact
that it has happened. or course there
Is chance that the Senate may take
up the fight and secure an amendment
of the House bill but that is not con-
s1dered probable. The measure Is a
party measure, as has been previously
pointed out, and it is not any more
likely that the Senate will break lines
on the measure than that the House
would. As the case now stands, the
bill will in all Iikihood go through the
Senate unchanged and there will be an
addition of four Democratic Senators
to the party ranks. But this is not SO
bad from the Republican standpoint
as though the measure had been passed
by Democratic congress and there
had been eight Democratic Senators
added. The one thing that is sure is
that there will be an immense appre.
citation of property values in the two
new states as soon as they attain state
hood as was the case with Nevada. So |
anyone who has money had better get
busy in the real estate business, even

HEARST TO BE THE NOMINEE,

VIM. r. Hearst is to be the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor OF New
York. This is as certain as most hu.
man events can be. His defeat by
Mcclellan, or rather his being counted
ont, has made him very strong and the
people of New York had as well yield
to the inevitable. There were persons
who said that the mayoralty fight
would end Hearst, once and forever.
that has also rum and a CORPSE
were generally one and the same thing
This they proved to their satisfaction
by Bryan who was defeated candi.
date, also by many others who had
gone before the people and gone down
to rise no more. They generally did
not cite Alton B. Parker, who is the
most conspicuous example OF their
theory known, because those partici-
pating In the obsequies of Bryan and
Hearst were usually mourners at the
Parker funeral.
IL ls not unusual, we admit, that a
defeat is political death, but the rule,
like others, has exceptions, and MIR.
Hearst is conspicuous exception. He
has grown In public favor ever since
he was counted out until it is not i'm
possible that he will be governor of
New York, and when this OCCURS
look out for greater donors. His ra tie
control and municipal cont troll of pub
llc utilities are ideas which have seized
on public favor and may carry him to
high position.

PENSION THE EX-PRESIDENTS.

The bill pending in Congress to pen
sion all ex-presideLts at $25, 900 year
is vicious measure. Vicious because
it is monarchical, and vicious because
it is an outrage on the people who
would be taxed to pay this sum. Men
strive for the presidency, it is the
highest ideal of an American, Poll
ticians and Others subscribe to their
election. Millions are spent to help the
candidate, and yet, after the country
has been cajoled. begged, implored, to
elect him, and corruption funds have
been used to bride voters to this end.
we are told that the person SO elected
becomes thee nations ward and we
must contribute to his support. Soon
we will hear that not only the ex'
president, but all his progeny should
be supported at public expense, as
princes are supported in monarchlcal
governments. These things begin with
the old man ahd tn en- come the kids,
Bill and Jim and little Mary. We do
enough of this thing now, We have a
habit of picking up worthless progeny
and giving them office because they
had distinguished grand daddy, Or
maybe daddy.
Mr.. Roosevelt has done vast deal OF
this, and he has gotten about him a
lot of the lightest objects in mems
clothes that ever parted their hair in
the middle. or found things lawfully
] jolly dontcherknow."
Now few people would object to
| turning over the unused campaign
fund to trustees to be used for the
benefit of the ex- or his Titles exes,
provided there were any. But to take
$25. GOO out of the peoples pockets to
pension a man simply because he had
been put into the Office of President, ls
robbery. The suggestion is ventured
here that had VIM. J. Bryan been Civ
en- the presidency when he was elected
In 1896, the idea of a pension for him
would never have occurred to the dis
tinguished statesman who now offers
this bill.

AFTER the RAILROADS.

A bill Is pending 10 the Legislature
to do away with the limit of SIC, 006 in
the case of civil actions for the killing
of persons, and allow the jurles to as
think proper.
This law would bear more heavily ON
railroads than any other as they are
more apt to cause deaths than any
other agent. True mines and manu-
featuring plants are liable to Kill their
employees and even country saw mills
and traction engines help along the
list. But the bill would most certain
ly affect the railways seriously. The
passage of such bill would be hard
ship. The killing by railways is never
malicious, it ia always accidental, and
while criminal negligence may enter in
largely at times, the element of malice
never does. There have been few
killings within our knowledge where
$1,000 was not most ample compensa
ton. Occasionally it is not, but gen.
orally it is. 1t is argued that the rail
ways caused this Insertion of $40 600
as the limit. Suppose they did. They
are entitled to protection There is
usually hostility toward these corpora
tions among the people, and the SOBER
and more conservative element should
aid in their protection. They are tue
law making or law executing class
generally, hence should not visit I'M
necessary hardships on the corporations
just because they have the power
There is no crying demand for this
change, and inasmuch as more people
are hurt by railways than are killed
and inasmuch as there is no limit tt
their recovery, it does seem thst thu
railways might be spared this one hard
ship, especially since they are being sc
sorely pressed in Congress and through
out the States by many other efforts
to purify their methods, and regulate
| their actions

OUR NEW CENSUS.

We have had the census of Stanton
taken on other occasions, and each
time have the schools and the West.
ern State Hospital been enumerated.
Tue constitution of Virginia allows a
city to become city of the first class
on the United States census showing
that there are ten thousand people in
the same. The U. s. census is made
by taking people wherever they are
found, and not where they say they
belong. If. therefore, the U. 8. census
taker came through Staunton and
found people in an automobile who
had just dropped In from another
State, he would class them as residents
of Staunton. If he got here on circus
day and could take them all, not only
would the circus people, but those who
came to see the show be taken as in
habitants of Stanton.
1t is not therefore any very grave
crime for the authorities to conclude
that people who when they come here
to be inmates of the Western State
Hospital and seldom leaYe 1t until
death calls them to their last resting
place, which is usually within the city
limits, are inhabitants of Staunton.
They cannot be inhabitants of place
they do not live half so we'll as they
can be of place they do live. They
are certainly here. regardless of the fic-
ton of the law which may for purpos-
es of suits and judicial handling of
their business interests regard them
as inhabitants of other counties.
Men live all their lives in Washing.
ton and vote elsewhere, but the size of
Washington Is reckoned by including
them. If this were not so Washington
would be small town, compared with
what it is. Washington Is a good ex.
ample of city whose population is
enumerated in the mode necessary in
cases such as Staunton. There are
thousands upon top of thousands of
people there whose citizenship is else
where. and who have gone to Wash
ington only temporarily. But they
must be taken into account. Will those
who are SO anxious to see that our
enumeration is exactly according to
their views of right please look at
Washington and say whether the
thousands Of department clerks, rail.
way clerks and officers families, such
Senators and Representatives. should
not be counted when arranging for a
city government equal to the needs OF
Washington. If light in Washington

right in Stanton, the capital of A u.

President Roosevelt is certainly
going to support Smoot, the Norman
for Senator from Utah. This is the
result of deal. Utah was taken from
the Democratic to the Republican
fold by the late Mark Hanna, during
the KcKinley campaign of 1900. The
State had gone for Bryan by a large
plurality in 1896, but deals were made
and the support of Smoot is the wind
ing up of the deal and payment of the
deferred lnstalment. Mr.. Roosevelt
was on the ticket with Mckinley and
thus was deeply interested, and he is
now making good his bargain. The
business is not nice clean one, and
may reflect on Mr.. RooseAelt in a very
unpleasant way before he gets through
with it. Such deals generally do.
