New York Forever.

And now comes Mr.. TILDEN and
contributes his due share to tho noun
tain of narrow views for which New
York city is entitled to credit. MIR.
TILpEN is "just like oil the rest OF
them lie holds that whatever New
York wants Congress ought to grant,
but that whatever some section I'M
known to him wants must be withheld.
Mr.. TILpEN is concerned as TO tho
coast defences Of this country. To re-
peat an illustration OF our own, his fears
that UNCLE SAM is to be assailed
By foreign countries because we have
not sufficient coast defences, and no
navy worth speaking of, are entitled to
be clsssed with the fears Of those OF
giants friends who should assume that
some pigmy was about to demolish him
because he had bis hands in his pockets.
"Whst constitutes State?" We all
know the answer, "Men, high-minded
men, who know eirrights, and, know
ing, dare maintain" These constitute,
consequently, the only safe defence of
a State. And there is no more reason
to fear attacks from foreign nations be-
cause we have no navy than there is 60
expect million Of people in New York
city to be robbed or otherwise maletreat-
ed because only one in several hundred
Of the population is policeman.
Mr.. TILDEN says that the apathy Of
Congress on the subject Of coast de-
fences and larger navy contrasts with
the favor which ia shown to the schemes
of prodigAlity and schemes to waste the
public resources on things known to be
absolutely useless" These things that
are known to DO absolutely useless "
by Mr.. TILDEN are the appropriations
made by Congress to the Improvement
Of rivers and harbors with which Mr..
TILDEN and his New York associates
are not acquainted.
And then, after having thus shown
bis utter ignorance on the subject, Mr..
TILDEN proceeds to argue that he
knows what the people want because
more than seven hundred newspapers
from all parts Of the country, and re-
presenting all political P rites, contain
ing expressions on the subject, have
been sent to him Mr.. TILDEN is al
observant man, but he does not know
halt as we'll as the members Of the
House OF Representatives what the
people desire in respect Of the improve
ments to which he makes so diSparaging
a reference. The average congressman
keeps his hand upon the pulse Of his
constituents, and knows that the truth
in the case before US is just the reverse
of what MIR. TILDEN assumes it to be.
The great masses Of the people are in
different as to new war vessels and new
coast defences, but are terribly in
earnest in their intention to improve
several hundred rivers which do not
run by New York city.

rur RICHMOND D1sPATCH---FR1DAY. JULY 80, 1886


A Detroit (Mich.) special says; A
..riss of experiments were performed
Yesterday ct Milan, small town in the
southern part Of this State, that are
thought to make certain great cd.
vance in one branch Of medical treat
ment. Mr.. Eugene Allen has perfected
an instrument which be has been work
inc At for . number Of years, for the
trsnsfusion Of blood directly from one
animal or person into another, and it
bids fair to overcome tho only hereto
fore existing obstacle to the success Of
this operation-the CLOTHING OF the
blood and tho dangers following
from the injection Of such clots.
In the experiments . sick sheep
was placed at ono end Of the instru-
ment and q healthy one ut the other,
and very visible change for the better
wss the result in the sick one. The
other was then allowed to bleed as long
AZ blood would flow, and was resusci-
tsted by blood taken from calf. There
were present Professors Vaughn and
Langley, of the Medical Department Of
the State University, and four or five
local physicians. The Professors took
an instrument back to Ann Arbor. 1t
will probably be introduced in the hos
pital there. The inventor is lawyer
by profession and enjoyed fair prac-
tice until i'll health compelled him to
partially give up work.

THE PAYNE CASE AND Mr.. HAL
sTEAD.--In referring the other day to
the decision in the PAYNE case, we said
that Mr.. HALsTEAD had dragged Mrs.
WHITNEY, Mr. PAYNE's daughter,
into the matter. We had understood
Mr.. HALsTBAD's oft-repeated refer
ences TO champagne parties aud the
social influences that had been brought
to bear upon senators to be references
to Mrs. WuuTNEY's parties, We are
glad to learn from Mr.. HALsTEAD
himself that we were mistaken as to
the persons to whom those references
were intended to apply. Those refer
ences we're inexcusable at best, bat
not so bad as We thought they were.
We DO not know nov to whom they
were intended 20 apply. Wo make
this explanation in justice to Mr.. Hal,
STEAD, but not At his request.

The Boston Herald, in An article on
sumuer schools in general and the Goa
cord School Of Philosophy in psrticu'
lar, says:
sis not the turning of vacation into
those studies which are more or less sb-
s,ract distinct evidence that Ameri-
cans take life too seriously 10 make fun
ard be happy? Vacation should bevA-
cation, and the vacation pursuits should
be as widely as possible removed from
the cares and thoughts OF our daily Gun
pigments, DO they literary, religious,
professional, industrial, or what not.
ibis is good, sound sense. lie wh)
muddles his brain forever over the
things Of this lie will soon have an
eternity 10 regret it in"
We bad thought that the Concord
philosophers were making good deal
OF fun. Certainly they seem to find
great hsppiress in their harmless
luDacy.

Tne Tariff Question.

weAre pleased to find that the Dan
VILE Register endorses as sound the
following paragraphs from the Dispatch !:
"The Democrats Of Virginia will not
allow their political opponents to define
for them their creed on tho tariff or any
other question. Mshoneism and Sec
tionslism are the evils for the destruc-
ton Of which the Democrats OF Vir-
sinia are set."
$50 long as IL shall be necessary to
raise by customs duties two hundred
millions of dollars q year there need
be no fear Of free trace in this country,
nor indeed of a want of due protection
to American industries. Nobody would
ask Congress to discriminate against our
industries, we suppose, and unless this
be done there will for long time be
incidental protection to the extent oil
good many millions Of dollars per an
num-"
The Registers comments are as fol-
lows:
"This manner of dealing with the
tariff is liberal and will go far towards
pointing out the differences now exist
ing between Virginia Democrats on this
subject.
"Those who are ready to censure
others for a difference Of opinion be-
tween high and low tariff do not I'M
derstand the points at issue or they
would not talk so Hippantly about
free trade which is at present utterly
impossible"
Those are the very words" utterly
impossible"

The Equities.

The Lynchburg Adrance sets forth
as follows the equities Of Virginis's case
against the bondholders
at must be remembered that when
Virginia made that promise to her
creditors ito pay per cent? she was
far more able 10 pay it than she has
been since the war, and that the Federal
Government has since deprived her Of
more than one half her original re-
sources; and the additional fact must
be remembered that the original credi-
tors are sll dead, and that the present
holders Of the bonds and coupons Of
Virginia never paid for them more than
an average OF 2j per cent. in the dollar,
so that, under tho Riddleberger bill,
they will receive in principal more than
double what they paid and interest
more than 6 per cent.
"What right, then, have the present
bondholders to complain Of the pro-
posed Riddleberger adjustment with }
psr cent. interest, unless they want to
play Shylock on the old State aud her
ueople, and take the last drop Of blood
and pound ofilesh?"
Well put is that question.

Tie Negro on Canvas.

The Philadelphia Times thinks It is
remarkable that $50 little has as yet
been made by our artists Of the admi-
ably-picturesque combinations to be
found in the southern States" " The
contrasts of races" continues the
Times, isis there as marked as any
where in the world, and nowhere can
both humor and pathOs be found more
closely connected. Everywhere are to be
discovered situations which especially
should commend themselves to the
painter" Our contemporary refers
particularly TO the negro as subject
for the artist, and what 1t says is
true, and is especially fruitful IN sug-
gestions to southern painters. Negro
character and negro life, aud the rels-
tions of the negro to the whites
Of TIE South afford countless themes
for illustration on canvas, and such
illustration eau be faithfully made
only by msn who hs been raised with
the negro and understand him thorough
ly. The brush that would delineste
the mes TO IS features, his pastimes, and his
surroundings must be inspired by that
appreciation Of him that has inspired
PAGES p.n in pr, serving the nogro's
4 lin. o, bis m,thod OF thought, his
sense Of humOr, and his ssnti
meat. Tae nortbera artist who
att mpts to portray the negro has, s'
rule, but very superficial kuowledge
Of BIN. HIS ideas regarding tho negro
are distorted, and he generally makes a
csricature OF bin. Let southern psint-
ers consider these facts and resolve to
profit by them.
