The Supremc Court of the United States
has ouoted this language of Clilef-Justlce
Tancy sinCe Ihe adoption of the Foar
tacntb Amcudment in the case of Cran
dall vs. Ncvada, 6th Wnllace. and 'has
given It ' its emphatic sanction and on
dorsement as a true exposition of the
naturc of cllizenship of'theUnited States
from the beglnning. lt did the samc
thlng again in the Slaughtcr house cases
In 10th Wallace, adding In both the lasl
namcd cases that "the right of free ae
ccss to its seaports, through which all the
oi>er.itioiis of foreign commerce are con
ducted." Is one- of those fundamental
rights of American citizenship. This has,
therefore, been our foundation law from
the beginning. But to reraovc all ques
tlon about the ncgro's havlng Ihese same
fundamental rights of eitizenship, the
Fourtecnlh Amendment 'to the Constitu?
tion was adopted directly after our civil
war. which provides tliat "all persons
born or naturalized in the "United States
are cltizens of "he. L'nited States," cri
dowed with certain prlvlleges and im
iminities. The Fourteenth Amendment
therefore. did no more; so far .as the
white men were oonoe.rncd. than to sane
tify and consecrate their fundamenlal
rights and privjleges which they. had al?
ways possessed, but it went a step far
ther and took the negro within the pale
of those same rlghta and prlvlleges. Tlrat
was all tliat it did. The case ithen stands
thus, ihat the Porto Ricans were "natu
raiized" as cltizens of 'the United States
by the treaty ceding the island by Spain
and our acccptanee of the 'cession: ?wherc
upon the people dwelling upon the island
boeame citizens of the United fStales, en?
tltled to all of Uiose prlvlleges and im
Tnnnitics which the Americans had there-.
toforo had. When, then, the Ongress of
the Cnlted States undertakes to impose
burdens upon cltizens of the United States
dwelling In Porto ltico which are not im
posed upon other citizens of the United
States dwelling upon American sbfi else
whero, it violates the fundamental rights
oY those American citizens to live upon
terms of pcrfect equality with all of their
fcllow-citizcns, wherever they may dwell,
and 11 strlkes a death blow at the foun?
dation of all of our rights as citizens of
this great constitution.il republla We
liave not seen this case treated from this
standpoint in any of the speeches or dis
cussions that have been placed before the
public, but it seems to us that it is tlie
vital Issue ahd bottom of this matter.
A WISE LiAW.
Tiie last Legislaturc passed a bill to
amend and re-enact section S of the
t.ax law. in which is contained one clause
of great interest to tax-payers. This
.-lause nr-u-ides ithat "t.hc commissioner
shall ascertain the value of all capital
of iricbrpbrated joint stoek companies
not olhcrwise taxed, and when such
capital ls taxed by the State of Virginia
the shares nt stoek in tne hands of ln
dividua! sbareholders shall not be furthcr
'taxed for State purposes."
This provision Is emineritly juist and
wise. 11 Is nothing else than double
laxation when an incorpofated institu
Uon which pays taxes on its capital to the
State 'of Virginia for its ..slpckholders
also to be made t6 pay taxes on Its stoek,
for the stoek rcpresents the capital eari
nloyed by such company in carrying i
The provision
because it en
urages invcstmenls in Virginia. We
know of a large deal vhhh was con7
summatcd In Richmond last week. and
the gentleman who made tlie investment
remarkod in our presencc tliat he was
much encouraged to make the transae
tlon because of that provision of the
law which we have just quoted, because
under the old law if he had investcd
his money in this enterprise he would
have been compclled to pay taxes
tliyough ihe oompany on rthe amount
of money investcd nnd again, personal
ly. on tlie stoek which represented the
investment.
Our constitution provides that laxaiion
shall be oqual and uniform. and double
laxation is out of spirit with that pro?
vision of tho organlc law. ' The path
of duty is provcrblally said' to be tlie
path of safety. The Stato of Virginia
never lPses anythlng by dealing fairly
and justly with tax-payers. We do not
bclieve in tax -exemptions as a means
..f encouraging invostments. The surest
way i'<r any State to encourage Invest?
ments Is to have a system of taxatlon
that bear evenly nnd justly upon all
classes of tax-payers; -a. rate of taxatlon
so low that it will ralse enough revenue
only to pay the expenscs of a govern
ment economically admlnistered; and.
finally, a system of laws that' will pro
tect ?very man in his personal nnd
property rights. The State that will
pursue. such a course, all things else be?
ing equal. will be the most inrriting field
to i>crsons having inonoy to. invest.
PAY PKO.MPTLY.
The peo;iie of Richmond have been
lihcral in subscribing to the Free Sirect
F.iir fund. and tho promptness with
which they have l-csponded to the appeals
has given Inspriatlori to the enterprise.
On iliehaif of the managemont wc ask
them to do a littlc more, and be i<roinpt
in paylng up.
10 will greatly faciiitatc matters if
overy contributor who has not yet casbod
in his contribution will sond his cheek
at his oarliest conveiiience to Mr. O. II.
Funsten, 'treasujer. lt is so much easier
for the Camival Association to go on
with its work whon it has the cash in
band. Therefore. those who pay prompt
ly will enhance the value of their contri?
bution.
MOKAIiTKACIIlXG FO lt XKGUOES
At yestcr\lay"s session of the Virginia
0<m:f<Tcnco of the African MethoJisi
Eiriseoivil Churdh, Bishop Handy, the
presiding olllecr. in referring to the work
of tho Committee on Temperance, said
to the preachers. "You are not to shift
the 'responslbillly on the women or Uie
Government. for I am told there are men
right on this Couferouee lloor who gct
druiik. and 1 am golng to give you an
ojqwrtunity to show wliether you are
in curnest about tiils matter by holding
an executlvi< ses?ion to-morrow morning,
when yo? oan bring them before the Con
ference and get rld of them. If thej' get
drunk you oan serid them put in the
world, where they bolong."
iie aluo tald that drioklng whtskey was
not'the only sin that some of the minis
ters were guilty pf. ."I have lettcrs
charglrig some, of you with lylng," he
continued, "charging- you with dlshonosty..
and not paylng your debts. We are told
in our book of disciplinc to,comluct our
selves prudently with women, but this is
not being done by some of you,; I am
afrald; and. they tell me that some of
you keep midnight hours. I am going to
put the whole matter in the hands of a
committee for thorough Investigatibn, and
if you are guilty you will have to look
for other work, for the Church will have
jio further u.se for i-ou."
BLshop Handy is'on the right traek.
Thero is no jiosition under heaven more
resnonslble than that of tho man who
Iii this day and ge.-ieratlon undertakes to
Instruct the colored ? race - in matters of
mor.ils. In the days of slavery these
lessbns were taught to.the colorev youth
by "Ole Mi-s" and "Young Mis" i.nd the
'highest Ideals were held up to them.
But there are no such instructors for the
colored youth of to-day-. With some
honorable exceptions they are brought up
by parents who have a low idea or mor
als, or else turned adrift without any
bringing up at all'and left to be gulded
only by their own brutal instlncts. Ne
cessnrily the negro of to-day must get
his moral training largely from tiie pastor
of his church. The pastor of a color?
ed church is a man of wonderful influ
ence among his people and may do with
his congrega.tion aimost as he will. The
members of his flock look up to him for
guidar.ee and instruclion and the moral
training of such a congregution is large?
ly in the hands of the ureacher.
ln view of these fact it is not necessary
to udd that the colored preacher should
be a man of irroproachable character, of
pure mbrails and of clean? life. The stream
cannot be purer than its scurce and the
liupil is not apt to be better than his
instruotor. If the colored preaehors are
immoral. the dlsease is aimost sure to
spread from them throughout their en?
tire congregutions.
A TIMEbY WOItl) FROM TIIE
BI5NGH.
We cannot too highly commend Judge
Lamh, of the Chancery Court, for his ac?
tion yesterday in continuing tho Old Do
minion 33uilding and Loan receivership
case at the request of the stockholders,
and especially for the wholesalo and tirne
ly lesson which he took .oecasion to im
press. He said that it would be. gro.tify
ing to him if the stockholders could wind
up their own affairs in their own way
out of court and without the expense and
delay of a receivership, adding that so
1'ar as his court was conceriied they
should have every opportunity to do so.
Judge Lamb's course is just what was
expected of him, for it has over been his
policy to avpid rather than encourage
needlcss iitigation, and in every way to
protect the intercsts of those whose ca'ise
is brouglit into his court. But this pro
nouncement from the bench is most op
pbrtune. It is reckless for stockholders
in a financial institulion 10 rush into
court with their grievances, for an in
significant shareholder may wreck such .
an institulion, cven though its affairs be
in a healthy cbridltion, by applying for a
court receivership.
The protectlon afforded by the courts
whose legal rights have been in
!s one of the great principles for
our form of government stands.
i:- . ; rights have corresponding duties,
and no one should rashly or lll-advisedly
rush into Jitigaiion until tiie simpler me-'
th'ods of adjustirig differences have been
tridd without success, lest by hasty ac?
tion the property of others be unnecessa
rily harmed. In no thlng is caution more
desirable on such occaslons than in.-the
ehoice of the ndviser by whose counsels
the person aggrieved is to be guided; for,
while the bar has from earliest times
furnished the highest and best methods
of the community, there. have unforiu
riately alsp been found among its ranks
at all times those who for the sake of a
fee -would plunge into Iitigation which
was legally siistainable, but from the point
of view of morals and wisdom unjustiii
able.
Every litigant owes it to the commu?
nity no less than those whose rights are
equally bound up with his own in the
point at issue to consult a man whose
oplnlon is given with a due regard to the
rights of his 'client and a proper appre
clatlon of tlie Irreparable wrong worked
by unnecessary and ill-limed law-suits.

Mr. Robert P. Porter, who was Superin
tendent of the Eleve'ntri Census, and who
was sent last year to Cuba and Porto
Rico as Special Commis
Our Great sioner for the United
txport Trade. gl;ites to investigate the
iri'diistrial and commerclal conditions pre
vailing there, has wrilten for the April
North American Review a very valuable
paper on "Our European . Trade!'?more
especially our trade with Fra.nce, Ger
many and Great Britain. The fact ol
most startllng import in the history of our
recent commercial dcvelopment is the vast.
increase in our exports of manufactureii
urttcles, which during the past' fourteen
years has reaelud the astounding'aggre
gaie of two hundred million dollars. 'Jlr.
Porter calls attention to the consceraatiyn
which has been produced in the minds of.
some of our European rivals by this un
percedented progress, which signifles the
eventual change of the United States from
an agricuKural and raw material produc
ing state to an industrial state, although
the volume of our. agrieuitural exports
has by no means decre'ased.

SWEEPING CHANGE
Law Proposed by tlie Attornoy-Ucncral
Would Be Oppressive.
NEW YORK. April 14.?Judge Addlson
Brown, of the United States District
Court, with reference to Attorney-Genera!
Griggs' criticism of his recc-nt opinion.
and which accdmpanied a draft of a bill
sent to Congress yesterday for the pur?
pose of straighfe'tring out matters in the
case of the three Gaynor brpthers anj
Benjamin D. Greene. arrested here on
an indictment against them obt'ained in
Georgla.. for alleged frauds against tiie
government, said to-day:
"The law, as explained. in the .recent
case of Gaynor and in that of Dana,
five years ago, is iri conformity with
that which was lald down by Mr. Justice
Curtis nearly lifty years ngo.
"So Tar as j know. the government
ha.s never failed to secure the remoyal
of accused persohs under the law as it
stands without serious difllculties. In
the Gaynor case the government otterivpt
cd to removc the accused without any
competent proof of crlminality.
"If the jieople of the country desire
that citizens should be rempven' from
their homes to distant parts of the coun?
try to stand triaj on the mere findlng of
a distant grand jury. acting in ,-ecret
and not. making known any circumstaces
showing probabie cause that an offehse
has been committed. a ehange must be
made in the existing law and the passage
of a. bill like tiiis is the way -to uo it.
"I -should, however, regard so sweep
ing a ehange as inexpedient; unrcason
a.blo and oppressive an in praetiec un
nccessary This bill goes far beyond the
provisidns of the intcrstate extradition,
wlhlchj are Himited to fugiUvos from
justce.
"Tiie depositions of wltncsses taken on
n prelimihary hearlng before a magls
trate may be used on the trial ln case
the accused is committed'. provided the
wltnesses at the linie of the trial are
not within the State. so that the alleged
hardship of producing witnesses twice
over is much less than fancicd."
WELCOME DEWEY.
Tlie Democrats Glad t<> Take Him Into
IrsKold.
CHICAGO, ILL, April 14.?Byran Dem?
ocrats have decided to welcome Admiral
Dewey Into the Democratic paftj'. Such
i3 the position officially outlined in to
day's issue of the Democratic Press Bul
letin:
"We raiay accept the Admiral's declara
tion oC his ipolitical faith as imlicating
that he is with the Democratic party, at
least on an oyerwhelmlhg majority of the
lesues it has taken up," runs the article
wihich is wriften by Willis J. Abbott,
head cC the Democratic Literary Bureau.
"This is a most gritfying 1'act," tlie
article continucs "It Indicates that should
the Democratic party, after mature delib
eration, deny to the Admiral the nomiria
tion which he seeks, it may nevertheless
count on his hearty co-operation and his
mfluence'in behalf of its efforts to end
the evils of McKinleyism by ending the
reic;n of -Emperor William -1."
In cemmenting on the purport of his
article, Mr. Abbott says:
''We are naturally dellghted at thc
p>-ospect of such a distinguished acquisi
tion to our ranks as Admiral Dewey. but
of course .we expect tlie Admiral to play
fair and ascept tlie good old .Democratic
doctrihe of abiding by the resuit of an
honest Demo?ratic Convention."
