Catholic Colonization society was held in Chi
cago, Wednesday. Among others present were
Bishop Ireland of Minnesota, S NJ. smyth,
agent in Nepraska, and G. J. Kreaney, agent in

the coming convention of American bishops, to
be held at Baltimore, and the meeting then vo-
ted to cooperate with the council in any action
which they might take in the premises. The
outgoing directors were re elected. The treas
urer reported that there is now in his hands a

More Words of Warning

The New York World does not cease to
warn the Democrats OF the danger OF COM
hitting themselves to the support Of any
measure that would subject the Demo.
cratic party to even suspicion that it is 6
free-trade party. We quote:
every man OF common sense know:
that on a Democratic platform not out
spoken in favor OF revenue tariff, with
reasonable protection for home industries
and labor, doubtful States would cease tC
be doubtful, and some Democratic States
would cease to be Democratic"
That is to say, in plain words, New
York, Pennsylvania. Connecticut, New
Jersey, and other States which are soundly
Democratic. will not vote. and cannot rea-
sonably be expected to vote, the Democratic
ticket this year il the Democrats allow
themselves to be led by such swamp-light
as the Republican Evening Post into the
quagmires of Free-Tradeism. We quote
the World again:
"Ohio has spoken decidedly for incidental
protection. On a platform OF q revenue
tariff so arranged as to protect home in
dustry and labor without fostering mo-
nop0ly, the Democrats have Won an UMPIRE
cedented victory there, and may win an
other. Anything like free-trade platform
would lose the State by $4,000 minority.
"In New Jersey the Democratic State
Legislature has Just adopted a declaration
pledging the party to revenue platform
limited to the necessary expenses Of the
Government, and so adjusted as to give
protection and encouragement to home
productions, industry, and labor, without
producing or fostering monopoly. On 8
Democratic free-trade platform New jersey
would be as hopelessly Republican as
Pennsylvania.
"Indiana on platform such as carried
Ohio last October would be most likely to
give her vote TO the Democratic President
On free-trade issue the Republican ma
iority would be overwhelming.

Ely IN Tobacco-Plant Beds

The following is the most valuable arti-
Gle in this issue of the Dispatch:
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
A very successful Chesterfield farmer
came into my Office this morning and told
me what he had done last season to save
his tobacco-plant beds from the rayages OF
the fly or fea-bug. He said the applica-
ton worked perfectly, as in twenty-four
hours after there was not fly left on the
bed. II was mixture OF Paris-green and
plaster, in the proportions usual for n
dressing to potato-plants against the potato
bug.
In view OF the specially-fne prospect the
tobacco-planter has of fine prices for the
crop he will grow this year, this informa-
ton will doubtless be Of great service to
him. a RICHMOND MANUFACTURER.

The ArmOry.

"G'ye the boys chance" Encourage
in them soldierly feeling. 1t is worth
more than money. They are the cheapest
defence thata community ever had or ever
can have. Take the votes Of the gentler
sex on the question Of appropriating few
thousand dollars to the object Of keeping
up the military companies Of Richmond,
and see how large majority will be in
the affirmative. All, let there once be the
mere scmblarce Of a riot here with
the military ready to suppress It at
n moments notice. and the military
companies will at once step to the
front rank as the most popular or
CARNATIONS In Richmond. On the other
hand, let such trouble threaten us
whilst Without any military to protect us,
and the men who shall have had a hand in
leaving the city without such guardians
will be marched to the rear.
But really we suppose there can be no
two opinions on the main question. As to
the amount, that Is another matter. Judi
cious Iiberality Is all that can be expected,
and less ought moi to be profered.

Governor under existing laws. We would
suggest that the board consist OF the Gov

the reason that the two last-named officers
already have about as many duties as they
