DEYISING WAYS
AND MEANS.

There is six hundred thousand dol
lars in the treasury of the State of
Virginia, and it seems to be causing
as much restiveness among certain
officials as the little boy experienced
a week ago while lying in bed cogi-
tating on what he should buy Christ
mas. Nearly all state departments
are coveting additional appropria-
tons, and many prospective clerks,
inspectors, etc., are playing the part
of Wilkins Misunderstanding for
something to turn up for their bene
fit when the General Assembly gets
to work. This surplus must be spent
this is a foregone conclusion, and
as the time for the meeting of the
legislature grows shorter this nest
egg becomes hotter.
Auditor Moore, who has worked in
season, out of season, to bring about
present conditions, says he can con-
tinue to roll up SURPRISES without
any extra Office force. He, how
ever, suggests that his clerks, should
receive an increase in salary.
The Secretary !;uf the Commons
wealth has been allowed $1,000 here
tofore. He wants $4,000 more to
meet certain issues, and suggests that
the legislature establish an automo-
bile bureau, as the introduction Of
this modern means of transit has adj
ded to the labors of state officials.
The Labor Department wants &c.
900 additional for factory inspectors.
The Reference Department, presid-
cd over by Lewis H. Machen of Al
eXandria, at salary of $1,000, is al
lowed $4,000 for the department. He
says the labors of that branch would
be rendered much more satisfactory
were he allowed $4,000 year.

WAR AGAINST
CONSUMPTION.

The miners of England threaten TO
tie up the British navy if CONSUMPTION
is resorted to in the empire. This
brings to mind similar crisis in the
United States in 1864 while the war
between the states was in progress
and when it was not known what a
day would bring forth. There was Il
powerful anti-war party in the coun-
try, and they had nominated George
B. Mcclellan, the most popular of all
federal generals, for the presidency.
Consumption had become inevitable
and the "Copperheads," as the oppo-
.ncnts of the administration were call.
ed, were giving much trouble. At that
time our foreign relations were
strained, especially with France, who
had. placed Macmillan upon the
throne of Mexico against President
Lincoln's protests, Napoleon III, it
will be remembered, about this time,
suggested that England and france
recognize the independence Of the
Southern Confederacy. Queen Victoria
and her husband, the Prince Consort,
it is said, blocked the movement.
At this critical juncturc drafting
began in New York, which brought on
rioting. Horace Greeley who was
unpopular with the anti-war organi
cation, had narrow escape from be.
ing assassinated or mobbed He was
almost thrown into hack and re-
moved from the danger zone.
The government was determined.
and after no little trouble brought
about quiet conditions and drafting
proceeded. England will doubtless
have trouble, but the British lion will
eventually assert and maintain its
supremacy, notwithstanding the
threats Of the miners.

is THE KAISER
DOOMED?

1t is now announced that the Kais-
er's operation is admitted by German
newspapers to have consisted of a
partial ablation of cancerous tissues
of the larynx. The Emperor is now
totally unable to speak. If he does
not consent to complete removal Of
the diseased portions of the larynx he
will be stifled within a few weeks.
If he does consent, he will be dumb
for the remainder of his life.
When the Kaiser was gravcly i'll in
1911. he offered famous French sur
gcon $4,000 to supply him with an
artificial palate enabling him to speak
if the larynx were cut out. The
Frenchman had previously success
fully performed similar operation
on another patient. At the last
moment the Emperor refused to take
the risk"
According to advices from Amstcr-
dam, Emperor William is suffering
from blood poisoning and his condi.
ton is daily becoming worse. The
Kaiser has been operated upon twice
without any improvement being noted
and the Crown Prince Frederick vii

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot IN lts
comment upon the above SAID:
We differ from our contemporary IN
Ire EXPRESSION on this matter only IN
not sharing the doubt it INDUCES: we
are quite sure that the magistrate IN
question had no more legal right to
extend clemency to convicts of his
court whose sentences were already
in process of execution than ne had
to exercise the prerogative OF mercy
towards criminal inmates OF the State
penitentiary serving terms OF ,mprls-
onment under findings of the courts
in the various cities and counties OF
the Commonwealth. The pardonlng
mower in Virginia is vested by the
Constitution exclusively in the Cover
nor. 1t appertains to any trial court
only to find the guilt or innocence Of
an accused person and in the former
event to adjudge the punishment pro-
yided by law. That having been done
the case passes out ofEits jurisdiction,
and is not to be reopened except un-
der appeal to a higher tribunal or by
interposition of the Executive.
We publish the above for the en-
lightment Of some people in Alexan-
dria who errenously suppose that the
police justice has the power to par
don persons convicted of violating
state laws. After sentence has been
pronounced the case passes out Of his
hands into those of the Governor.

has done all in his power to gain the

volve the entire fate of the war, and
perhaps the political fate of Ger,

CASE OF JAMES CANTER.
Supreme Court of Appeals to Consid-
err Case of Washington County
Convict.

Richmond, Jan. 5. = Before the
Supreme Court of Appeals, which
convened for its winter session Tues
day morning, will come up for review
the case of James Canter, under SEN
tence of death for alleged completely
in the murder of Mrs. James R. Will
son in Washington county. The case
will be submitted on briefs.
Luther Cantcr, brother of the man
whose case the court will review,
was executed after being found gull
ty of murder in the first degree at
the conclusion of trial which
brought out testimony of an extreme
ly sensational nature. The same
verdict was returned against James
Canter, who was charged with comp
iicity. He is now in the penitentiary
awaiting the result of his appeal to
the States highest court.
Judge N. P. Oglesby and Mayor G..
M. Warren, both Of Bristol, will pre-
sent the grounds upon which they
would have the court set aside the
verdict of the lower court and grant
Canter a new trial. The boys coun-
sci will insist that the verdict does
not accord with the law and the facts.
The case is one of the most noted
in the annals of Virginia jurisprud
ence. Young Canter, who is IS years
old and son of John Cantcr, an aged
Virginian, living near Bristol, was
convicted of completely in the assault
and murder of Mrs. Wilson, a young
woman Of good family. The murd-
or was of a most heinous character.
The victim, after having been brut-
ally mistreatcd, was shot to death.
Dying, she was bound and gagged in
her own home, Her hands were
bound together and tied to a bcdpost,
and her body, showing numerous
bruises, and an ugly gunshot wound
under one arm, lay in pool of blood,
where it had remained twenty-four
hours before the discovery of the
crime.
Suspicion at once settled upon Luth-
CT and James Canter, Following the
arrest of the two Do.'s, Luther, the
older, confessed that he committed the
crime, but insisted that his brother
James was innocent.
The trend of circumstances and the
evidence adduccd at the trial made il
appear, in spite of Luther Canter's
statement, that his brother was prob
ably the arch conspirator Of the two
and that he had influenced Luther t.
come home from Knoxville, Tenn, tt
assist in carrying out the plan.
The crime was committed OH Apri
23, and in less than Il month boil
brothers had been convicted. Luther
died in the electric chair, and because
