CRISP NEWS.

The income of the State of Virginia,
according to reported statements, will
be increased this year over $4,000.
The constitutionality of the two-cent
railroad rate is being argued before the
Supreme Court of the United States.
1t is not likely that the decision of the
Court will be rendered for some time.
Orders have been sent from the White
House that all clerks who wish to go
home to vote shall be paid in full for
the time they are away. The only thing
lacking is free passes, which the Presi-
dent is unable to order, but would if he
could.
1t is reported that the next Legisla-
ture will be asked to restore the whip
ping post. The reports received here
are to the effect that the jails of the
State are filled with negroes. male and
female. awaiting a chance to be sent to
the Reformatory. They are an enor-
nous expense to the State, and are toe
small to be sent to the Penitentiary.
For this reason the return to- the sys-
tenn of whipping the youthful often
ders for the first and second offenses is
being seriously considered by men who
have given time and study to the mat
ter. In this connection there is great
complaint that the jailers of the State
are not needing the law which requires
that inmates of the prisons shall be sent
to the roads. Some of the officers are
not making reports, though there is a
big demand for the convicts. The jail
ers get fees for guarding and keeping
the prisoners while in Jail. but if they
are sent to the roads this is lost to them.
