speaking Of the recent cOll0quy in the
House Of Representatives between Colonel
O'FRGRAL and another member. the Clarke
Courier, which is published in his district,
ssvs.
Because tho Colonel. In answer 10 All in
frrrogstion from a Republican, replied that
he was IN favor Of tariff on iron ore ana
coal. The Richmond Dispatch Is pleased TO
llst our representative among those in favor
~ protecting these articles. We tske
IT, for granted that Colonel O'Ferral
meant, IN replying TO Mr.. Buffers queS-
lion, 10 convey The impression that as tue
Mins bin did not disturb the present duty
on the said articles, and thst ss he was an
adyOcstc Of the plan Of tariff reform laid
down 10 that bill he was consequently COM
miitsd 10 a tariff on iron ore and coal. The
Interpretation given by the Dispatch to
Colonel O'FeTralfs admission, II correct,
would make him occupy position inconsis-
tent with the declaration contained in the
extract from hs speech copied by the state,
IN which he distinctly says he has tackled
Tariff for revenue 70 the masthead. We
would not hesitate 20 take issue With the
Colonel II we thought the Dispatch correctly
represented him on this question"
Certainly we did not intend 10 misrepre-
sent Colonel O'FEwALLs position; and we
think the Courier makes very fine point
when il admits that he Is in favor of perpetu-
atlng the present tariff on iron ore and
coal, but opposed to "prOtecting" those
articles. All that anybody means when he
speaks OF protecting" coal, or iron
ore. or any other article, is that he
Is IN favor OF tariff on that
article which will project" 1t from for.
cgu competition. We understood Colonel
O'FEnRAII TO be in favor Of such tariff on
coal and IRON ore and naturally spoke OF
him a. being in favor Of projecting " those
articles. The existing tariff "protects
sduac. manufactured tobacco, iron ore, coal,
peanuts, and other articles which Virginians
have deep interest IN. We are
IN favor Of continuing that protec-
ton. II the Clarke Courier speaks
for Colonel O'FEREALL, as Of course we have
no reason 10 doubt that it does, then he is
tot 10 favor Of protecting " iron ore, nor
coal, nor any other article, but of ga tariff
fr revenue Oniu." and wall vote for con.
Iouiug protective duty on any article only
Is compromise and because the MILLS bill
u-0vidc, for such a tax. II seems TO Us that by
necessary implication the Courier condemns
Nf. MUS and the Committee Of Ways and
Means Tor continuing the duty upon iron
ore and coal. However, we simply desire
10 let our readers know Colonel OFEH-
RAILS position, and will not discuss any

WASHINGTON. May 1.-THE Republican
Caucus Committee was IN session last night
for several hours az the rooms OF Representa-.
tive Cannon, the chairman OF the caucus.
There was general discussion Of the politi-
cal situation. but the tariff bill now pending
before the House was the subject OF engross-
Ing interest II was the understanding that
Il the committee was able to come 10 an
agreement upon the proposition made by Nr.
Mills looking 10 vote upon the tariff bill,
and the substitute which he expects the Re-
publicsns 10 offer, a caucus should be called to
formally ratiiy II. The action OF the con-
ference, however, revealed the fact that there
was considerable difference among the men,
bers OF the Caucus Committee. This differ
ence was made apparent, not so much in the
consideration OF the Mills proposition as IN
the failure 10 agree upon the line OF the SUBJ
stitute bill which was TO be offered by the
Republicans for the Mills bill. From the
tone OF the discussion, however, It appears
that a majority OF the members might be
brought 10 favor the inclusion OF free sugar
In any proposition that may be advanced by
them. The sugar. bounty idea also tad some
advocates. but the conference did not pro-
coed far enough 10 warrant guess as TO ils
strength. The committee adjourned with
out Issuing call for q caucus, but the men,
bers were instructed 10 request state dele
cations 10 hold conferences, and try 10 agree
among Themselves upon what they might
regard az the best line OF action. When
this has been done by the caucus the COM
mittee will cndeayor TO reconcile the various
positions taken by the State delegations and
adopt settled policy IN the treatment Of the
matter,

Cracking the Whip.

We DO not know whether I'm the following

pursue a policy which it knows he will not
pursue. That paper saws:

Iecting that he will hesitate to keep the i'm
pied pledge OF his acts by drawing the line
between the men who are with him aud
those who are against him on the only issue
Il the campaign. As the Post has credited
the President with having marked the lines
OF TIE camplign along the mountain ranges
Of political thought, IL expects that he will
not recognize as members Of the Democratic
family persons who are dong all they can TO
defeat Democratic policy. Again we say
that Commander Cleveland is expected to
see 10 It that rations are not issued to men

cratic lines.
The Presidents particular hobby was
said TO be ciyi-service reform. For keeping
Republicans in Office he has been more Sc
verely condemned than for anything else.
Would the Post have him tissue rations"

jority Of the Democratic senators voted for

surely the Post Is INDUCING in little
h,dinsge. The words "hQUin9 gone thus

The President has abandoned his original
policy as TO ciyil.service reform So the
words "the implied pledge Of his acts"
seem 70 indicate that the Post considers his
