We know of a number of Virginia wo?
men who are successful faimers. And
there are thousands of others whose srosh
lu raising poultry and making butter con?
tributes very largely to the finance's of
their households.
The value of the egg "crop" in this
country is enormous, and Virginia con?
tributes a considerable share of it. in
many Instances, the bulk of the actual
money that farmers' families have the
year round comes from the sale of eggs
and chickens.
There Is, as yet, no demand here for
such a school aH Minnesota has estab?
lished, but there may be before many
yt.ur? have paised.

The Baltimore City Charter Commis?
sion has agreed to recommend that ih?'
term of the Mayor shall bs four years;
that the salary shall be $C,4jUt> a year;
tpat the Mayor Shall have the power oi
appointment of city officers, subject to
the confirmation of the SaSSM Brunch
of the City Council; that tho heads of
departments and sub-?U*partnients shall
have the sole power of appolntmeat and

Certainly we have too many elections In
his State, bat a*a BgltM with those tin ic?
ier? of the c.enrtal Assembly who de?
mand that proposed changes ?hall be
onsldered with the utmost caution and
lilil elation.
In Borne cases constitutional amend
ntiit?? will have to 1><- adopted Iti onl?r
? (?fleet the results aimed nt. For lu?
?ame, her? In Richmond, once In ?lx
cars, we have an election to choose a
'Ity Treasurer.
Owing to the fact that a ve?y heavy
?m i is required of this officer, candi
lates for the position ?ire always few In

ook th? trouble to have It done. The
ear-on for this t>t?rmlhg- indiff?rence to

THF. HAW AIIAX JOD.
It la said that the advocates of Ha?
waiian annexation practically concede
bat th.-y cannot muster in the Senate
he two-thirds vote necessary to the rati
catlon of Qm treaty, but that they hope
o consummate their s.*h( me by means
f a bill, which only requires ? majority
r>r its passage. If the opponents of an
exation manage their case properly, the
Ill-dodge will probably. stand as little
nance of success as would "ratification."
The proposed bill would be subject to
IscusHlon in open session of Congress,
nd, as a consequence, the public could
e made acquainted with the Jobbery
onnected with the whole annexation
chcnii' from the time ? usurping gove?

A full discussion of the bill would show
nwarranted interference on our part
a the affairs of the Island, which en
bbd a ring to overthrow the lawfully
oiistituted authorities; disclose the fact
hat the Hawailans do not desir an
exatlon, and expose the reprehensible
?art the treaty was expected to play In
r.aslng tha wheels of tho tariff ma
hineiy. It would vindicate Mr. Cleve
ind's denunciation of the Job, and ?le
iionstrate that the only condition that
ould justify us In annexing the lslamls
t present?the condition of menace to
he lntegriiy of thS Momo.- doctrine?
mos not now exist. Nor Is this cohdi
loti likely to obtain for some time to
MM. Agitation of the annexation ques
ion has developed clearly the fact that
oreign nations recognize that Hawaii
?mies within the ?copo of the Monroe
loci run?, and to that extent is already
irtually under our protection. Tin re in

With the lights before the people that
omprehenslvo discussion of the bill
voultl shed, there ought tobe, and doubt
ess would be. ?ttaa-nd?-red a popular an
agonism to the job that Congress would
lot dare disregard.
Renator Lindsay, having been quoled
is saving that the lea.lers of the gold
Democrats "h iv? BO plans mapped out for
the future," the Ohio State .tournai (Ke
l?ubl__an) takes compassion on them, and
Invite? them in out of the cold. They
should, says the Journal, have plans, ami
ldds our contempoiary, "In justice, rea?
tan, and consistency these should lead
them to active and unyielding co-opera?
tion with Ihe administration."
To that complexion it must come at
aet, unless th?-y are prepared to return
to the house of their fathers, or seek ?omu
vast wilderness of flmtnclul Impractica?
bility, some txiundless contiguity of po
itlcal ?hade, and there flock alone and
forgotten all by themselves.
The Hawaiian protest before the Fede

Hawaii to the United States ?tart? out

That certainly look? as if it ought to
be effective.
