We must say again, and this Is not
simply the opinion OF the TINES, but OF
all Thoughtful and patriotic men, thst the
election OF next Tuesday involves Tor
long time to come the safety Of our free
institutions. The Republican party has
enunciated the doctrine OF protective
tariff and war taxes in time of peace
which is an outrage on the rights OF the
neople TO have the necessary articles OF
life at fair prices The Republican party
does this solely to protect monopoly and
place in the hands Of few all the profit
of the great industries, with the right to
control the price of the product to NIL
their own pockets, and the price OF labor
to starye or employ just as a few men
choose.
We appeal to every man of sense to
say Il he can make anything else out OF
the policy Of the Republican party as
cbampioned BY Blaine and Carnegie,
whose pockets are stuffed with money
ground out of the poor American laborer,
the proof Of which was In the close up at
Bradock, Pennsylvania, last winter
For the question as 1t affects the work
ing men here, we have only to say that
the object of the Republican party in its
plan to ruin the South is simply part
of Protection and means to retain the
wealth at the North by killing the pro-
gress of the South which now threatens
to beat them. If the working men OF
Richmond tan see anything good for
them in Rsdicalism and South-hatinc
they ought to pause one moment and
think what will become of them If Ben.
Harrison is elected The Tredegar Works,
the Talbot Works, he Locomotive
Works, and the last one Of Richmonds
great industrial enterprises, will be
obliged to curtail the force they employ.
On the other hand IL Cleveland is
elected, and the liberal policy is inaugura-
ted, Richmond and the other Southern
cities will make engines and machinery
for the whole world instead of being con
fined TO the home market.
For the sake of common sense and for
Gods sake, let our active Democratic
leaders In every ward, see the voters and
tell them these simple facts.

Lord Sackvine. erstwhile the Hon. Sir
Lionel 6. Sackville West, X. G. NJ g..
envoy extraordinary and minister pleni-
potentiary of Great Britain to the United
States, is certainly wiser man than he
was a month ago--if he is capable Of
learning. Not only has he violated long
established rule of diplomatic usage
that an accredited envoy to any country
should not interfere in politics of that
eountry-but he has, with rare stupidity,
walked open eyed into trap that would
not have caught fourth rate American
politician. A letter is received by him
purporting to come from an Englishman
naturalized in America, and asking how
that Anglo-American ought to vote at
this election, and the minister answers it
in a letter Of feeble platitudes that can
only be understood by reference to the
letter Of inquiry.

All there, Sackyille. y

The Revised Statutes Section 5, $780,
make il criminal offense to carry on
correspondence with any foreign govern
ment, or any officer or agent thereof,
with intent to influence the measures or
conduct of any foreign government in
relation to any disputes or controversies
with the United States, or to defeat !he
measures Of the Government OF the
United States. Probably the Murchison
letter LAYS its author open to prosecution
under the law. The fact that no Murchi-
son has been found indicates that thtre
has been a conspiracy.

SACKVILLE'S CHANCE.

Manager Doris of the Dime Museum
in New York has offered Lord Sackyille-
West 50 900 a week to hold diplomatic
reception twice a week land matinee).
We do not presume to advise such a
successful diplomat as Lord Sackyille
what his policy should be between the
chance of an inheritance and another
title in England and the immediate rev.
enue offered by Doris.
Surprising it possible that sensible
person could put himself for a moment in
Lord Sackvilles boots without having
corns, it is natural to suppose that posing
as a curiosity in dime show at $4,000 a
week would be better than playing wise
man and being a laughing stock at half
the money.
AS to the business aspect Of the thing
tand, we poor untitled Americans will
see it that way, we would beg leave Sc
riously to call Lord Sackyille's attention
to the examples of Oscar Wilde and Mrs,
Lang,ry, who, failing in art and litera-
ture. have made success in America in
that distinguished line of the show pro-
fesSion called monkey business
America is not ungrateful, and appre-
cisting Lord Sackville's service in play
ing the fool just at the proper time we
believe shat Mr.. Cleveland and the DEM
ocrats all over the country al least would
flock TO see Lord Sackville's professional
reception at Doris Dime Museum.

GIRLS MILITARY COMPANY.
Training and Discipline for Young Ladies

olas may remember an arti le by Lieut. w.
T. HaIniltoa, U. S. A., which described his
experience in a western college where, after
witnessing the excellent effect upon the boys,
and the girls, or a number Of them, with the
consent Of their parents and the faculty, or
caniz-d company and received precisely
the same drill and training in the carriage Of
their bodies, in obedience 20 orders, in the
practice of arms aud general discipline as the

"Art Of War being the best authority on

has been specially detailed to perfect sys-

ers and duties. Heretofore there has been a

stances incident TO his career absolutely de-
pendent, for the observance Of proprieties,

order has been found necessary in large and
mixed communities which will fill the place
when those are lacking.
A number Of young ladies Of the 'swelr
ciass-dweliers at Elberon in summer, in
Madison avenue in winter-have applied 70
Lieut.. Hamilton to give to them the primitive
military training and discipline which he
gave to his company Of western girls, and
which made "women" Of them-straight,
healthy, handsome and strong. His cor
ditions are the same in all cases-written con-
sent Of parents or guardians, a suitable uni
form dress and implicit obedience to orders.
The dress is a straight single skirt laid in kilt
plaits, a blouse waist with naval collar, a
loose silk tie and wide soft leather belt.
The importance Of the matter IS not in the
formation here aud there Of a military com
pany of girls, but the possible and highly de
sirable introduction VI military tactics, train
