is THIS 4 REVOLT.

The protest of Chairman Charles N
Fowler. of the House Committee on
Banking and Currency, against the
issuance OF Panama Canal bonds and
treasury certificates is somewhat be-
lated, and we arc at loss to under-
stand why it was made at all. Surely,
Mr.. Fowler cannot be in earnest In
urging the administration to with
draw the offer of the s1oo,OoO0oo s
per cent. certificates Immediately"
The President has approved the plan
with some show Of enthusiasm and il
he should take Mr.. Fowler's advice he
would stultify himself and maze him
self a laughing stock. 1t would be a
confession of error and tickle minded
ness that would discredit him and his
administration forever. The die is cast.
The President is irrevocably COM
mitted. and Mr.. Fowler knows it.
What purpose. therefore. can he
have in publicly denouncing the Pres
ident's plan OF relief and in calling
upon the administration to abandon
IT. Is this the beginning of revolt
against Mr.. Roosevelt? We do not pre-
tend to know, but II is some sort of an
extraordinary move upon the political
chess board. and it is very sure, one
way or another, TO have an important
bearing upon the campaign of 1908.

80 SEAT, 40 FAr,E-nur NO FARE,

No NIDEs
s.The no-seat, no-fare controversy is
being put to an actual test In Jersey
City, aud the trouble there is acute.
The very difficulty we anticipated has
occurred. The New York Times, in
reporting the situation in Jersey City,
said:
--..'Passengcrs on the cars which were
crowded were told that while they need
not pay fare unless they chose, they
must leave the car IL they did not.
They manifested much interest in the
proceedings OF the detectives. but said
they preferred to pay for the prlvi-
lego of hanging OH to the straps, as
they were anxious to get home"
Where n public service corporation is
faithfully trying to do It's duty and
serve the public properly. 1t is not
unreasonable either to expect or to en-
dure occasional discomforts which
seem inseparable from human exist
ence. Tho whole question turns upon
the spirit with which the general SER
vice is rendered. In the case of the
street car lines in Richmond. that SER
vice is well done. and on occasions,
such as our Confederate Reunion and
state Fair. is conspicuously well done.
There are, however, many quiet and
iorbearing citizens who are unncces-
, sarily irritated by the system of trans
fers on our street cars. a passenger
IS required to make his choice OF trans
Ger before he can tell which he wants
md often, having to make guess, he
guesses wrong, and has to pay an
otl,er fare.
This looks to the ordinary mortal
ike a trick, and it certainly seems
that some way could be easily devised
for removing the trouble. 1t is the
failure to remedy Just causes of com
plant that loses company friends.

HIGH NoTES-AGAlN.

Speaking of the high price of high
class music in America, news comes
from Paris that although the gross
receipts Of the Paris Opera House for
the year were s650.O00, the net receipts
were only sl9: the profits having been
cut to that figure by the large salar-
ies commanded by the singers. BY
way of specification, it Is mentioned
that one soprano. who sang only
forty-nine times during the year. re-
ceived $4,000. and seventeen artists
cost the management nearly $500 ca
every time they appeared. Alvarez gets
about $4,000 a year.
After all. the public are largely re-
spunsible for the imposition. Music is
not "A necessity. and II the public
would refuse to pay eNorbitant prices

PRISONS AND ALA1SIiOUSES.
Tho Enterprise, Of Culpeper. says
that the county Jail is In a deplorable
condition. and whites and blacks are
confined in the same cells. our con-
temporary surinises that the Culpeper
jail Is without a parallel" but we
fear that there arc many others In 6,
condition quite as bad. And. more's
the pity. some people seem to think
that they should not be improved. They
argue that jail should be made a s
llideous as possible, in order to make
evildoers avoid It.. True, we should
not make our jnils inviting, but 1t is
cruel and barbarous to deprive any,
human being of fresh air, clean and
|healthful surroundings and pure food.
We have reason to believe that the
almshouscs of the State are rs badly
kept, comparatively speaking. as the
jails
According to the News Leader, Mr..
is. L. Maury, OF Albemurc. has
written an open letter to the Board OF
Supervisors of that county. describing
In plain but singing terms the condi-
tions at the county poorhouse. He
says the buildings are poorly built and
badly kept. and the paupers are
neglected and imposed upon. He hints
strongly at some very pitiful and
despicable graft"
The News Leader deduces from these
premises the need of an inspector Of
our correctional and charitable insti-
tutions. as suggested by the State Con-
ference of Charities and Corrections.
1t is, in our view, one of the greatest
needs OF the State, and we have. been
urg ing it since 1901, when the subject
was first called to our attention by the
conference. For years conditions at
the state Penitentiary were Disgrace
full. but the penitentiary wa, always
public demanded reform Tho people
do not know how the iails and aims
houses are kept. If they did know
they would demand a general cleaning
up and reform. A State board of cnari-
ties would turn on the, light and show
them the real condition.
Generally speaking says DR.. Jo-
sfah Strong, 'tlle chief functions of
these boards are to visit and inspect
charitable and reformatory institutions.
in order to secure the correction of
evils and abuses in their administration.
and to encourage tho adoption of pro-
gressivc measures in their manage
ment. Such boards have usually blu,
limited powers of administration or
control. The influence they exert, while
almost entirely a moral one, is shown
by experience to be both efficient and
useful. This will readily be apparent
to those who study the conditions at
the alnshouses and other public in
stitutions of charity. both previous to
and since The establishment OF State
boards of charities"
Such boards are now In operation
