Great Britain's Unid and shilly-shally
ing polley in r?si??ct of the recent little
eastern complicattBns is being referred
to as evidencing that the tUty of British
ultitri.itmi-, backed by British cannon,
is past, and the conclusion baa been
reached by BOOM that When it cum

latest phase of the far Baal question than

massacres, tho Croan affair, and the
Graeco-Turklsh war. The c is? B arc not

Is by "no means Justifiable
However much tiny may differ among
themselves as to other thing. .'the Brl

gating 9.<3OO,O0O tons, and a total foreign
trade amounting t?> more than J4,00(),()<Xl,(iOO
annually. Her commerce with China is
put down ut $172,000,000 a year, or two
thirds of the total foreign trade of the
Celestial Empire. Of th.- I7JM entranone
nnd clearsncea of ships at the Chinese
treaty ports In 18M, ?licit Britain ersa
credited with l'.?.r,'.?7. the tonnage cirri?,!

China's foreign trade, Japan, the new
ally of Gnat Britain in the present en?

The little ?'astern situation appealed t??
the sentlinmt of a part of the British
public; the far eastern situation tin? aten?
to tout-)-, with disastrous effects the
pocket nerve of the whole British public.
While the British Mini-try could afford
to temporize with the Indignation arouse I
by the lelmlnstion? ol Oladstom and oth? r
party leaders against the "great assassin
of Europe" and British perfidy tov/arda
Crete and Greece, they w??ul?l hardly dan'
resist what they know to be the united
demand of the Hiitlsh pubtte, that Britain
protect her trail?- at whaajrer cos? might
be necessary. They would hardly have
the temerity to reverse what has been s
policy of governm? nt after government,
and Premier after Premier, Irrespective
of party affiliation- a policy for thy nialn
laaance, support, and, if occasion should
te<iulre, the enforcement, of which the
aaasses cheerfully agree to th? expendi?

Riisi-'u'.s latest movements in the far
East are avowedly for the purpo
placing her In position to dominate
China and China's trade, and ht nee are
Inimical to British Interests in that
quarter. In view of this, and of t;

world will be greatly surprised, we 1m

understood this at once, antj set about
finding relief by reducing expenditures.
If the legislature proves to be unequal

Nt-WS.
The Keen* hi ?ight. ir this roglslslaiB
falls to <lo the work expiated of It there
will arise an It resistible- tle-mnn.l for a
. -onstitiitioiial convention. As- yet, we
harp teen no purpoaa e.n the part ?>f mem
'- dodge the question of reducing
the State's exr'enses; but we fear that
raany raeahers .ir. rather too sanguine of
their ability te> increase the revenue-.
It Is ?r-iite natural, we suppose, that
those srhe are threatened with cuts in
their sul.itis should point out that
amsndntents t.. th.- revenue leers may
l'e- inaele- thjt will make such cuts wholly
asary.
?in the other hand, It is equally natural
thai ?lii.-e- upon whom the taxutlon in
qoestieOB may be laid ahould point out
that the true course for the legislature
te? pursue- is to reduce the State's ex
< ?f ...iirse there Is no suggestion from
any qu.irW-r that the rate of taxation
llpeell r-'al or perse.nal preq.e-lty sll'illlel tie
ine i.-ase .1, but many schemes are pro
! to subject to taxation personal
property that is not now fully returned.
We do not know how much of exaggera?
tion there is in the- state-me-nts frequently
in ids as t-e the imme-ns.- sums that escape
taxation, but we dare say there is
.i ?-eiiitl deal, (?f course, it is right ami
prop? r, atKi ..-mm.-tuiable. Indeed, ter the
Legislature, to try to cause proper re?
turns of personal property to be made,
but < vi ry State in this I'nlon ami every
nation on earth has found it B difficult
t-i deal with.
We fear that if the Legislature relies
v.ir largely upon new income tti inuk
buckle and tongue meet, it will be greatly
disappoint?**!. No doubt something may
be Sons In that way, but it would not be
wise for members to adopt the belief
that the Whole question may be met In
that manner.
The laws, I-'.-lierai antl State, are al?
ready. In soin?- respects, more favorable
to non-re aidants than to residents doing
baalneaa In Virginia, and are should not
like to see any legislation that would put
our merchants and other business-men at
further disadvantage. Merchants* tax.s
ought not to be increased in the slightest.
Tie- towns and cities of this Common?
wealth furnish by far the greater part
eef the. r. v- ii ie- that goes Into the State
ii y, and get no great proportion of
it back in criminal cxpeiis?-s or school
funtls.
And BO we say. If the Legislature has
any Blind to put heavier burdens upon
th-.- merchants, It ought to abandon the
ielca at once The business world has
suffe red quite as much, if not more, than

A PRIMAIO ELKi:TIO!t LAW.
There Is a warm discussion going on In
flbaiajtlaaiMa with respect to a primary
election. Upon the merits of the ques?
tion we are not Informed, but In this
connection It occurs to us that the Legis?
lature should give earnest attention to
the subject of a primary election law as
soon as the holiday r?-cess Is over. Many .
Important town an?! rtty ele? tIons are to
take place next spring.
In the first place, ?very primary that Is
h?l?! ought to be held under a State law.
Bon in RIchrnotKl we have | special pri?
mary ?lection law which does not
embrace every primary that Is held.
That is wrong. The law ought to be
broad enough to cover ?v?ry primary
that Is ordered. The Legislatur*? ought
not to undertake t?. s.iy that nil party
nominations shall In- made by primaries,
but It ought to say that when a primary
takes place any wrong-doing don?- th.-reln
shall bo punishable Just as If It took
place at a regular election. The public
generally wou'.d approve such it law ns
that. Whether era are prepared to go
any farther Is matter f??r discussion.
II a*0 BJ Richmond we have found It
prmlent to confine our Democratic prima?
ries to "whit- Democrats." And ere
h ?V had no cause to regret the adoption
of this rule. It would have been Impos?
sible for us to have kept our party t??
gethi-r as we bBVO done upon any Other
basts. No legislation that Interfered In
this matter would be ?Kc.-ptablc to us.
To th?- batudas Ottl Of Urtm tat prima?
ries great carets given in ir ?ny States.
Here In Richmond, arbore the White R -
piilillcans are well k.iown. it bas OCCB
si--n.il little difficulty. In Kentucky the
voter, when ho registers, Is privileg.il to
have himself also registered a.? a "Demo?
crat" or as a "Hepubllcan" or u >
"Populist" or as an "Independent." Or,
he may decline t<? have any dOOlgBgtlOB
?U all given him. Th I rc-istratlon list
becomes the basis of the primaries held.
That Is a wry |.I plan, ind.-.-d, but
v\ suppose registrations of vot?rs
take place In Kentucky much oftooer
than they do bore sad that their lists
arc, therefor?, always comparatively n?-vv
aii'l fresh. But here, ivlun- a regtet ra?
tion ome made is allowed to continue
yeats and yeais, w.- doubt If the system
would work well.
In som,- other Slates n guiar registra?
tions are held for each primary election.
That would bf BXB? tisiv.- and trOUble
some, and, bOWOVOT necessary It may 1 ?.
arbore the populstlon is aver changing.
It would hgrdly be worth the while la
Virginia.
We should like to see more public ln
tereet than now appeears in this
gl aeaal subject. It Is worthy of more
thought than Is app.-arcntly being given
it. if there is to be such legislation
this winter Hi?- more thoroughly the
ral Assembly ondefataadi tba wishes
Of the people, the more probable It Is
that Its work will be satisfactory.

A (fen York special says that the results
of the operation of trephining for apo?
plexy, recently performed in that city,
have proved so successful that It is
thought the operation will go on record
as furnishing a precedent for the treat?
ment of npoplectlc cases. In which the
pressure of a clot of blood on the brain
can be Jocalized. The operation was per?
formed at the Meat York Post-Graduate
Hospital, and very little ether was used,
M the effused Mood had spri-ad over the
brain, paralyzing 'the nerve centres. The
patient was a well-built man, age-l ..?.
years, and seemed to have been in good

operation he Is on the high roil to re?
