Social Equality in Richmond.

A telegram from Richmond to
the Philadelphia Press says:
It has just leaked out here that
the bourbon party is trying to
break the color line for its own
benefit in a secret way. Last week
w. r.. Trigg, president OF the Elec'
trio railway line, issued invitations
to banquet to five prominent col
ored men of this city. There we're
also present Colonel n. V. Ran.
dolph, w. r. Meredith, prominent
democrats of Richmond, and
Maurice b. Flynn, Of Norfolk, the
owner of the Richmond City rail
WAYS. and others. Mr.. Trigg pre-
sided. and addresses were made by
Randolph and Meredith. Whites
and blacks sat at the same table
and ate and drank and were merry
together. Randolph and Meredith
are representatives of Richmond
aristocracy, and the people are
much stirred up over the matter.
AS to the purpose of this social
gathering the impression Is that it
is bold step towards getting the
coIored people to vote the Cleve'
land ticket this fall, and a bid for
assistance through the agency of
Flynns large interests in this city,
Society is greatly moved by the
event, and the republicans are
watching the result.

Brutal Assault Followed by LynChIna

DANvILLE, Va, July 27.-At an
early hour yesterday morning,
Bruce Younger, colored, met Mrs.
Robert Dood, wife of q prominent
Halifax county farmer, IN the road
near Meadsvllle, in that county,
and by force and threats over
powered and crininally assaulted
her. She dragged herself to her
house and reported to her husband.
In two hours Younger was arrested
and sent to Jail by a magistrate to
await indictment by the gran1 jury.
Last night a holy of men, over one
hundred in number, surrounded the
Jail at Halifax Court House, over
powered the Tailor, took Younger
out and hanged him to a bridge
near the village. The body was
found by early psssers this morn
ing. 1t had many bullet holes in
1t, and the clothing was partly
burned, showing that the first in.

WHY is not West Virginia a
doubtful state Look at the steady
growth of RepubIicanism, as shown
in the following: In 1876 West
Virginia gave Tilden 1864 ma
jority, in 1880 Hancock l1,14S, in
1884 Cleveland 1921. In the con.
gressional election Of two years ago
the total Democratic vote was Co..
1874 aud the Republican 81, 2I9, the
Democratic plurality being 80.
Hon. Nathan GOf. Republican, was
elected to Congress at that time.
The Democrats had no majority
in the total vote, the Prohibition
ticket receiving 1,492. So close
state as West Virginia is well
worth fighting for, and the Re-
publicaus are going to fight
for it. They feel more conf
dence even than they felt in 1884,
as since that time many manufac-
turing establishments have started
aud they count on the growth OF the
protection sentiment. West Vir-
einia has six electoral votes, and
there is certainly good chance tC
have them cast for Harrison and
Morton.

The free trade organs are fairly
tearing their shirts anent the inyi-
tation extended by the Georgia
Chautauqau society to Congress
man Mckinley, of Ohio, to deliver
an address before that body on the
subject of the tariff. Now, why
should the heather rage Are the
free traders-beg pardon, the tarlii
reformers- afraid to have the great,
the all.overshadOwing issue Of this
campaign properly explained to
the people? Do they fear that their
economic heresies cannot stand
the test of such clearcut eluclda-
ton as MAJOR Mckinley will adj.
vance, or is it that they clam the
southern states as their own stamp
ing ground? If the latter, the soon.
er they undeceiye themselves, the
better, for there is nothing more
Ger tain than that the south Is rap
idly becoming a protection strong
hold. If it fails, at this iupcture,
to cast its fortunes with the party
which, a this time, stands for pro
lection, il is because there are deter
ring considerations ofaq"dsi domes-
tic character. This, however, does
not quell the anxiety OF the people

becoming more and more manuiac.

practice of protection explained

1t is compliment to the reputa-
ton of Major Mckinley as an able
advocate of protection, that this in

can, from a Democratic state, and
we are pleased to see that he has
signified his acceptance. Peters.

fredericksburg Free Lance.

If the Republicans would secure
a precious document for use in the
next campaign when the people OF
the State will be called upon to
elect a General Assembly, they
might cut out and preserve the fol-
lowing from the Lynchburg Nelos
of recent date. The Lynchburg
Noes though not a violent partisan
is nevertheless a reliable and ably
conducted representative of the
party it refers to so sllghtingly and
which Is responsible for most of the
bad legislation of the kind referred
to.
The Petersburg Mder-Appedt at
taches much of the responsibility
for the accident at Fat Nancy's
TrestIe to Railroad Commissioner
Hill, who, 1t says, is empowered
under tho law to examine into the
physical condition of every rail
road in the State, and to "use his
utmost endeavors to have repairs
made when in his judgment they
may be needed"
The Lynchburg Ne'es, comment
ing upon this, says; "But OF what
account is law that does not
prescribe a penalty The railroad
law of Virginia is not worth the
paper it is written on. 1t is a
farce and a failure, and the COM
missionership, though held by a
gentleman OF intelligence and
above reproach is practically a
sinecure. The distressing fact IS
that Virginia has not had legis-
lature under its present constltu'
ton with character and courage
enough to resist railroad influences
and to legislate in the interest OF
the commonwealth. They have all
been dominated by the free pass or
kindred Establishments and last
winter the Arnold bill was deliber-
ately sacrificed by the intrigue and
obstruction of a Senator who
shamelessly proclaimed his con
tempt of public sentiment. Men
who 90 to Richmond to tipple from
December to February are not the
right stamp of persons to be en-
trusted with responsible places, in
which they may prove a mischley'
GUS hlnderance and of incalcula0le
harm to the public interest"

THE MILLS BILL DID 1T.
SHUTTING DOWN OF THE CHAM

PANY.

CHAMBERsBURG, PA, July 30.
The mills Of the Chambersburg
Wooden Company shut down this
morning, throwing eighty hands
ont of employment. In answer to
an inquiry by the correspondent Of
The american as to the cause of
the suspension, President Samu ell
NJ. Gawer, of the Wooden Com.
pany, said:
81 attribute our suspension to
the passage of the Mills bill, and
the present free trade ascendancy.
The tariff agitation has been an in.
jury to our business for months
past, and now that the Mills bill is
passed the trade and our markets
are demOralized. We regard the
bill as the entering wedge for free
trade, pure and simple, and that is
what Democratic ascendancy will
mean. OurgoOds are mainly heavy
overcOatiugs and fall cloakings,
and our customers in New York
and Boston will not only not place
any new orders with us, but are
taking advantage Of any flimsy
pretext they may find to cancel
orders already placed. We cannot
keep our machinery going without
knowing when and where we will
have a market for our product
We cannot compete with foreign
manufacturers even with free wool.
This suspension is only temporary,
but free trade means the closing OF
our mills permanently, as our Gus.
toners will then buy foreign
goOds.r
