General Gordon's telegram to Khartoum
is thoroughly characteristic, recalling the
laconic terseness OF his famous speech
when he entered upon his duties as Cover
nor-General OF the Soudan. 1t was ex-
pected that he would make long address,
but he dismissed the assembly with SIN
gle sentence: al will try to hold the bal
ance even" These pregnant sayings OF
Gordon will serve as the GngeT-posts OF
the history Of his mission. When his views
on the Soudan appeared in our columns he
remarked, "a shot has been fred" When
he was sent to the Soudan he said: II

off, and / will do Il, cotite que coate.' F"

WEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY %, 1884,
v,rgin,acitios.


Richmond city pays about one-eighfh Oh
all the State taxes, we think. II she were
represented In the Legislature In proper
tion TO the taxes she pays-or, as our revo-
lutionary fathers phrased IT. u taxation
and representation went together--she
would have seventeen members OF that
body. Virginia owes much to Richmond.
without cities, Virginia would forever re-
main unprosperous. When Richmond
shall have 9 population Of 100000, vir-
glnia win blossom as the rose. She will
reyei in property.
Richmond has never sought any special
Iayors at the hands OF the Legislature. She
always asks and expects eyen-handed Jus
tice. And surely that body will accord so
much to her. She, like every city, Is enti-
tied TO all the advantages Of her geographic
cal position, and no bill ought to be passed
which viii have the effect OF depriving any
city Of those advantages. The Railroad
Commissioners ought to have the power
and the right to prevent determinations
against Virginia cities; for what we have
said OF Richmond Is true OF Norfolk, Pc
fersburg, Alexandria, Lynchburg, DC.
Wholesale merchants who pay license
tax of Eve hundred dollars a year cannot
be expected to view with favor the effort %
allow Baltimore or New York drummers To
sell goods 10 their customers in Virginia
without paying the same or Ike tax
What sort Of Government is that which
would tax ii. own citizens and exempt
those of other States which would so
legisIate as to build up large cities outside
of the State, and destroy the cities within
the state (which would lay burthens
upon the people it ought to save harmless
and take the burthens of those whose RI
valry Is sspping the prosperity OF the COM
mercial classes OF the Commonwealth!
As her cities increase in population and
wealth and business, yirginia's farmers
and planters will increase in worldly
goods. What would Maryland be without
Baltimore? What Pennsylvania without
Philadelphia? What New York without
New York city? What Massachusetts
without BostonS Nay, what would Eng
land be without Londons
We cannot belleye--we are not Wiling
TO belieye--ihat this Legislature will frame
tax-bill that will be burthen to the
merchants Of Virginia, whether In Rich
mond or elsewhere. Let the proper COM
mittee consult experts before acting, II II
has any intention Of making radical
changes in the assessment laws. This Is
no time for experimentation time for
making enemies Of a whole class in the
community. There is never time for in
justice.

The National Party.

We fully agree with our esteemed and
conservative contemporary the Dispatch
that national party Is the great deSiderd-
tum. But how are we to construct one?
The Republican party has been so Sec
tional in the past that it has forced the
Democrats to become sectional almost to an
equal degree. The Democratic party has
more than once endeayored TO be the ma
tional party, but IL has always been unsuc-
cessful. When the ignorant masses at the
North are not warned against trusting the
Government to "rebel brigadiers" they
are told that the Democratic party, espe-
cially that portion OF II which is southern,
means to upset the tariff and to condemn
the northern laboring man TO low wages
and 10 scarcity Of work. In every instance
the fight is represented TO be one in which
North and South are the real participants,
and our esteemed Dispatch knows full
well how the northern manufacturer makes
his workmen respond to such an appeal as
that.
And IN the event Of unwise action by the
Democrats In tariff revision, IL Is easy TO
see how the Republican party, with It's
usual ingenuity, will make the issue local
In every State, and triumph over the
Democracy. Louisiana Democrats want
foreign sugar kept ont Of the country, aud
from the turn which affairs have taken 1t
Is easy enough to see that they win re-
spond with alacrity to the local or sectional
issue which the Republicans will raise with
consummate skin. Ia Ohio people of all
political opinions who are interested 10 the
wool traffic want high duty on wool.
What Is The resultf Nationalism IL quick
ly forgotten when local interests are in
yolved. The pocket-pocket rs mightier
than sentiment. The profit made from sugar
and from wool by Louisiana aud Ohio
Democrats, when these commodities are
highly protected, are more potential 70
