To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
see in your issue OF to-day a reference
to the Growing Of the Wing over the sup
posed adoption by the Senate of an amend
ment to the tax bill reducing the tax on
tobacco to eight cents per pound. You
are correct in the statement that no such
amendment has been adopted, and that the
Republicans voted almost solidly against il.
Both the President and Secretary of the
Treasury in their annual reports recon-
mend that the tax upon tobacco shall be
continued, and the Republicans in both
branches OF Congress have uniformly on
posed relief to our planters. The Record
shows that when an amendment was offered
IN the House to repeal all laws or parts of
laws imposing taxes upon tobacco, and
providing for rebate or drawback in the
interest OF manufacturers or dealers, the
Democrats, with one single exception.
voted for IL, while the Republicans were
solid against it. II the Wig will publish

before the Virginia people. That paper

administration and party pledged to the
continuance Of this injustice. Let the
truth be told. The people Of Virginia are
tired OF Notwithstanding and honeyfIg-
Cling with the enemies OF our material in

mig may rest assured that our people
cannot be hoodwinked and deceived. There

them the facts, and who will do 1t.

There Is no Egyptian nation. There Is a

The world is not willing to turn over
Egypt to the owls and the bats.
The Washington Post also understands
the situation. It says:
The Egyptians have one fiattering unc-
ton that they can lay tn their souls IN the
present unhappy condition OF their colin-
try. No change can make their condition
much worse than II has been under the
nominal rule Of the Turk. Their Govern
ment has had no other interest in them
than n financial one. The tax-gatherer,
backed by soldiery, has harried the poor
wretches so that life has been not worth
keeping. Every date palm-tree that they
have planted, every little patch OF melons,
every green thing that even the nomadlc
tribes have caused to grow out OF the earth,
has been taxed at enormous rates. The
officers and soldiers sent out to collect
taxes have been even more greedy and OPP
pressive than the Government, levying
blackmail and seizing on the goats, camels,
and horses OF the helpless victims. 1t is
not probable that fate can have in store Tor

OF the Republicans was elected chairman.

After the meeting had concluded It's

from his faithful forty-four. His speech

A Rich and mOniOus Queen.

Victoria is the richest and best paid sove-
reign in Europe. She draws for her ex-
penses never less than an even S2,000,000
n year. This is granted by Parliament.
Besides this, she is a great proprietor,
drawing revenues from her estates that
equal the sums paid the monarchs Of con-
tinental Kingdoms. Nor does her wealth
end here. Under the laws the for
tunes OF intestates or illegitimates, and
in some instances aliens, revert to
the crown. In 1850 the Queen in
herited direct a million and hall
from a miser named Nield. Her annual
gains are further swelled by the revenues
Of the duchies OF Lancaster and a royalty
on certain ancient royal grants in India.
Add to these the fruits OF Prince Albert's
lucky investments, which were made in
the heart OF the most ailluent part OF the
London OF to-day, and it will be seen that
Victoria will have a stupendous fortune to
leave her children. The Queens wealth,
and her parsimonious boarding Of it. is
the iavorite grumble OF John Bull be he
aristocrat or commoner. The Prince OF
Wales, with modest grant OF half mil
lion from the State and hall million more
from various other sources, likewise COM
ing eventually from the people, is as lavish
as the Queen is close. He is always in debt,
but he finds good credit OH his "eXpecta-
tiOnS."
