DON'T TAX BANANAS.

Bananas are wholesome and nutritious fruit
Within the past few years the quantity imported
has greatly increased and the price has remained
very low They can be had at all seasons. They
form an important article of food. especially by
the poor of the large cities, and they possess an
important food value. The sale OF the fruit
encouraged -aHAtAeFe shealaAe -Re
legislation tending to increase the cost to con-
sumers.
1t is unfortunate that the Democratic tariff
trainers, while removing the duties on meats in
the effort to reduce the high cost of living. should
aave undertaken to impose duty OF cents a
bunch on bananas. Such duty would add about
cents dozen to the wholesale price and some
thing more than this TO the price which the
ultimate consumer must pay.
The duty on bananas should never have been
imposed and that paragraph in the tariff bill
should be removed before it comes to show
down. The party is pledged to so revise the
tariff as TO reduce the cost of living, we I'M
derstand it, and the provisions of the Underwood

After Representative Underwood had de-
nounced Mulhall yesterday, Senator Reed with
some show of bitterness remarked that he
thought the committee should not permit any
one to tell witness that he lied.
As general proposition. we concur But
Mulhall has taken insolent liberties with the
names of number of prominent men, among
whom il Mr. Underwood. high minded South
ern gentleman. and after the manner OF South
ern gentlemen. when maligned Mr.. Underwood
denounced the accusation against himself in
the plain language of the Bible
"He may have had conversation with me, y
said the Southern Statesman. but when he
says that he had interviews, l want to say that
the statement is lie"
The distinction is radical and every of
honor understands precisely what Mr.. Under
wood meant by il. An honest man may with
propriety have conversation with thief in
full knowledge Of the fact that the thief is a
thief But interview with thief Is another
matter: it implies particeps criminis.

toned and he made answer in a way that

The esteemed Times Herald hears of the de-
Felopment in West Virginia Of vast coal
field, which is tapped by the Chesapeake and
Ohio railroad, and the bulk of whose product
will be shipped that line to Tidewater.
The total output from the fields says
our contemporary, 's estimated at five million
tons annually. Perhaps two-thrds of that will
go to Tldewater for shipment coastwise and
foreign. That would increase the output from
this port by three million tons year and this
port viii be able to handle the increased trade
for that amount of coal could be dumped

That the opening of the Panama canal will
mean a big increase in the coal traffic out of
Hampton Roads ports has long been the con-
hdent belief of shipping men-a belief based
on the reasonable supposition that the great
fleet of foreign and domestic steamers using
the lsthman waterway will use these ports
coaling station. That the railroads also share
this confidence is evidenced by the fact that

peake and Ohio constructing mammoth new
steel coal piers-the former this side of the
Roads and the latter the other side. The

Tax Segregation In Virginia.

In we'll considered article the Rock bridge
county News discusses State Auditor Moore s
tentative plan for segregation of the subjects
of taxation. The News rather regards the sug
gestion as impractcable. but the News must not
too hastily reach conclusion. The News con-
tends that preliminary to segregation we
must have an equalization board to equalize
values throughout the State; To equaliZe the
values of corporation property from which the
State viii, under the segregation plan. derive
the major part of its revenues. But II seems
to the State corporation commission, which
assesses this class of property, is already an
equalization board. There is need of an
equalization board for real estate and ordinary
personal property. as under the segregation
plan revenues from these VIII only TO the
local governments. and il is matter OF in
difference 10 the State at large what the values

For years and for reasons unknown beyond
