WATER BOARD ORDINANCE.
Believing thnt the ordinance, which
conferred upon the Water Board of this
clly the extraordinary powers that it
now possesses, should never have been
adopted, the Virginian-Pilot has per?
sistently opposed the same, maintain?
ing that the broad powers delegated
and vested In Ihe Witter Board should
have been reserved hy the Counels. In
this belief, as appears from the Inter
views with Mr. Mclnlosh, president ofl
the Water Board, published In our edi?
tion of yesterday, the Water Board, it-!
celf, concurs; and as thnt board Is wil?
ling that the Councils shall adopt such j
legislation in the premises as will ob?
viate the objections to tho present law
and conform to public sentiment, we
congratulate our citizens upon tho fav- j
orable prospect of tho harmonious co?
operation of the Board of Water Coni
mlssloucrri in accomplishing the desired
reforms.
1396 AND 1900.
Despite the dellectlon of a few trait?
ors, thc^ Democrats of the House of
Representatives have, as a body, 'made
a gallant, vigorous and able light
against the Wall Street programme as
dictated In the currency bill. Nor was
it in vain that they raced the pub!I
enemy to the last, with their colors
flying, and tell (never surrendering!)
before over-powering numbers. Ben ten
by brute-force and the corrupt Iniln
Cr.ce of gold, they are ready and eager
for the grand contest of next year be?
fore an unboughl people, where truth
and reason, right and patriotism, must
triumph in tho open light with fnl:
hood and sophistry, wrung and treason,
its now confessed by the very men who
three years ago deceived their con?
stituents with loud professions of bi?
metallism, and "hard money"?"honest
money" pouring from their forked and
bilingual tongues and their tllshon
hearts.
Mr. Do Armond, of Missouri, besidi
?presenting it vigorous argument
against. I ho currency bill, drew graphic
pictures of the campaigns of 1S0G and
lOO?. Addcsslng the Republicans, ho
said:
"You carried the election of ISOfi. n it
because you overbor?- us In the con?
flict of reason, hot because yon ap?
pealed to loftier sentiments o? Ami rl
can manhood, or assured art cxepct tnt
American public, looking only for what
?was right and Just, that your policies
?were sounded and would bring more In
fruition than ours, BUT BECAUSE
YOU HAD THE CORRUPT AND
TREMENDOUS POWER OF MONEY
WHICH YOU USED UNSPARINGLY
AND BECAUSE YOU HAD THE
VAST rOWiER OF NUMRfROUS
CORPORATIONS HOLDING IN CON?
TROL5 THE DESTINIES OP THOU?
SANDS, AYE, OF -MILLIONS. OF
TOILERS, AND USED THAT POWER
WITHOUT MERCY. These powers,
massed and gathered, won your vic?
tory of 18D6, won it against a man who
received In that election over a million
votes more than ?were ever cast for
anyone who battled In all the years
past under the same standard that ho
bore. [Applause on the Democratic
Bide;]
Say what you can In glorification of
that victory. If you arc proud of it.
; we are doubly proud of the noble fight
' that "We gave you, clean from stnrl to
.finish. WE. WERE OVERBORNE
BUT WE WERE NOT OVERBORNE
. in THE ? FIEJLD OF LOGIC. WE
.?WffiJRBJ NOT OVERBORNE IN THE
. ?OR.UM OuT. MORALS. We were not

WILD OF TUB UiNPURCH'ASiBD
AND THE UNPURCHASEABLE
AMERICAN CITIZENS IN OPPOSI?
TION TO "YOU. [Applause on the
Democratic side.]
The truth of that .Is well Known to
all men who observe the ways und
means and the methods employed by
ilnnna und his mercenaries for McKin?
ley. Tho same ways and means and
methods, with Hanna and McKinley
again arc relied on by Republicans and
their masters to overcome "the will of
the unpruchascd and ttnpurchasable
American citizens" who oppose the Re?
publican policies ,as practiced by this
administration and who Intende to rule,
instead of being ruled by any men, or
set of men, who consider this govern?
ment theirs, and theirs exclusively,
over since their trade with the Repub?
lican bosses. But Mr. DeArmond
warned them against over-conlldence
in their strength next year, when there
is likely to be revulsion against cor?
ruption and corrupt men and measures.
Said he:
"You may thing that everything Is
bright for you. Y'ou may think that
UtOO can have no fears for you; that
the battle Is already won. But recollect
thai the apptoval of those who can he
bought by partial legislation may not
compensate you for the loss of others
who have followed your standard from
0, devotion to principle which they
thought you shared with them and
who will not follow you when convinc?
ed that those principles no lungtr ani?
mate you. if they ever ?\d. (Renewed
applause on the Democratic side.)
"Do not couiit too securely upon the
result In lflOO. Recollect there will be
gathered against you then men not
drawn togither und.r 'oid rs,' hut com?
ing as volunteers; mett battling for
homes and principles and liberty; men
waging tho tight that was waged in this
country more than once In the century
past; men .standing upon piinc pDs pro
cla med. defended, and illustrated by
the bravest and best Americans that
ever trod American soli. They will be
there as volunteers; they will come
from tile farms and the shops, from the
hills and from the valleys; and It will
be a mighty host. Against them you
may throw successfully your cohorts
purchased by payment actually made
and promises of things to be clone, and
then again you may not.
"I have great reiiance In American
mas.hood when once aroused. Do not
think that this cLll nee of their rights,
this throwing to the winds of your own
p. i m ses and your own professions, this
leg! lallon for classes against the

unchallenged, Mon: y again will be talk?

ELLYSON FOR GOVERNOR.
If the voice of the public; press of this
Slate means anything, the hopes of the
Hon. ,T. Taylor Rllyson for Governor of
Virginia will amount In little.
I: cannot ha denied that Mr. Kllyson
in i been promised by the machine the
next nomination. No one for a moment
doubts that the machine will make an
effort to make good Its promise, as It
did in the ease of Mr. Martin. But in
fighting for Mr. Martin, Mr. Kllyson
has overstepped the bounds and has
built around his candidacy a bonfire
t': it i:: growing Into a consuming (lame.
In the fight on I sic of AVight and
? '.nr.pt.in Mr. Kllyson. AGAINST

Virginia;

hut wo say it as the advocate of that
prim iple which can nover die in the
I.reast of a Virginian? the principle of
self-government, the right of free
speech, of free votes nnd free choice.
Mr. Kllyson has placed his foot upon
the necks of the people of the Second
District, and the man who dares do
that will and must answer for his act.
The man does not live In this section

VIRGINIA LAV/ REGISTER.
This ?ble and useful monthly is ?well
edited by W. M. Lilo, Esq.," of the Uni?
versity of Virginia, and handsomely
published by the J. P. Bell Company, of
Lynchburg, Vn. . The December num?
ber discusses "Legal Ethics" from the
Intellectual, moral and professional
standpoints, arid concludes with the ex?
ample of Malesherbes in so boldly de?
fending Louis XVI. at tho bar of the
French revolutionary convention, at*
the sacrifice of his life, and the declara?
tion "that the threo sacramental quali?
ties of the great advocate are fidelity,
eloquence nnd courage."
There ore a numberv of reports and
digests of Virginia decisions, some .of
them important und leading, while the
editor challenges tho decision of the
former Supreme Court of Appeals In
Profllt vs. Anderson ns "an ill-consid?
ered opinion" Mn holding that the ex?
action of road-work 'is a tax and un
constituti6nal. The editor concurs In
the more recent opinion in State vs.
Shan) (N. C), which holds that the
exaction is not a tax in the constitu?
tional sense, but "a duty, like service,
upon a Jury, grand Jury, special venire,
military service, or as a w'tness:"' but
of which all are compensated, except
road-work; and to take labor without
due compensation Is to impress and
confiscate property, which has a value
ns Qsceriainable as that of land, or
any other service.
The decision nnd opinion, With an
editorial note. In the caso of the Vir?
ginia Coal Co. vs. Thomas, are of pres?
ent interest and value as bearing on
tax-titles and to some extent on the
"Land Grabbers' " bill. There is a
communication to the editor from Mr.
George Mclntosh, of Norfolk, with ref?
erence to attorneys' fees as damages,
and the cases of Wlsecarver vs. Wise
carver and Burruss vs. Hines.
RESISTING A COMBINATION.
As Tf a fresh example were neces?
sary, the managers of the Produce Ex?
change Trust Company, of Now York,
have made a free display of their Igno?
rance of the 'usclessness"* of kicking
against a combination.
One of the chief causes that led up
to the suspension of the company was
its futile effort to defy every single
bank and Trust Company In New York;
refuse to enter Into an agreement, but
to fight It out- The result was not con?
trary to anticipation. Every bank
doing a big business at times loans
nearly ail its available funds. If at
such time a "run" be made upon it for
cash or a heavy demand, although rich
in good merchantable, bankable paper,
It cannot puy without the aid of other
banks, who lend tho cash for the time
being. Such was the case of the Pro?
duce Exchange Trust Company. With
$2,500,000 In New York city bonds and
$SO,000 In cosh It quietly closed Its doors
because Its directors became panlc
strlcken at the very idea ot a run. It
was almost criminal In the directors,
yet the result is the same. It was not
believed that other banks would help
out the "kicker."
The facts In the matter are that n
few months ago the New York banks
declined to collect any more "country"
paper except for a proper compensa?
tion. All the hanks Joined In the com?
bine except tho Produce Exchange
Trust Company, which, of course, left
the Clearing-house.
Th<; result of that act is shown in the
failure of the institution and Is another
example of the usclessness of private
effort against any combine; be It what
it may.
THE CURRENCY BILL.
While the Republicans were rush?
ing the so-called currency bill through
the House at Washington, banks,
trust and combines were collap?
sing In Tsow t Y'ork. Philadelphia,
Boston and other cities. Call money
In New York City went to ISO per cent.
,nnd a panic prevailed, when the Clear?
ing House came to the rescue with
J 10.000.000 at regular rales and the
Secretary banker of the Treasury,
Gage, agreed to advance a year's In?
terest on U. S. bonds nnd to purchase
?'-?,000.000 in government bonds AT
MARKET RATES I
The Produce Exchange Trust, ot
New York, closed it? doors Monday;
the Globe and the Broadway banks,
of Boston, are closed; and there Is
everywhere a prevailing sense of dis?
trust and unccrtalnlty. The currency
1)111, Just adopted by the Republicans
of tho lower House of Congress, may
have already run its course before ar?
riving In Ihe Senate. May heaven
grant us Ibis great deliverance from
the base leaders.
THE GREAT FRAUD.
The currency bill passed the House
of Representatives by a, vote of 100 to
160,?the 190 including every Repub?
lican in the House, and n few so-called
Democrats; not one, however, South
of the Potomac or Vv'cst ot Pennsyl?
vania, and one only in each of the
Stales of Maryland, Pennsylvania nnd
Massachusetts. The yellow, or mulatto,
Democrats voting with the Republicans
for the great fraud .were Messrs. Clay?
ton, Drlggs, Fitzgerald. Levy, Hup?
pert, Scudder, Underhall and Wilson,
or New York; Mr. 'McAleer, of Pennsyl?
vania; Mr. Denny, of Maryland, and
Mr. Thayer, of Massachusetts, 11 In
all, or less than one Jadns to every
twelve of true Democrats.
The Richmond Times says that the
panic In Wall Street, New York, on
Mopday was "only a. speculators'
panic, of no- concern to others."
Possibly. It is to he remnrke?, never?
theless, as significant that the ?Clearing
Houses of 'New York cnmo to the re?
lief of those speculators with $10,000,000
at 6 per cent., and Secretary Gage, put
the government In support of these
same speculators with a year's- antici?
pated Interest on the bonded debt of
the United States, ntrd with A1N
OFF-ER TO BUY $25,000,000 U. S.
BONDS, NOT AT PAjR, BUT AT
,MA'RKET PRICES.
Perhaps the Times is right. Perhaps
tlfo speculators of Wall Street rule the
?land, including this Federal adminis?
tration, Congress'and the ' Republican
party. Air. Bryan Is credited with
?having said something to that eltect, i
and there are many facts that are
giving more than probability to the
charge.
While nobody has said so, it .should
not be forgotten that It Is about time
