news from Central Africa, aud there has

against the Christians because OF their me-

safety solely to his adoption OF Mohamme =
danism, aud the terribly bloody battles
with the English In tho Soudan had borne
fruit In hatred rather than fear. The Arab
and Mohammedan travelling merchants and
slave dealers practically rule the heart Of
the dark continent, and II the Congo Free

strength by force OF arms. II Stanley has

ages to come as second Coiumbur, un-

Though known to all history and better
known to the Egy plans than to ourselves,
the heart OF the great continent has been
left severely alone by civilization, and IL
has remained for these days of sectional

In the United States Senate on We'd
nesday Mr.. TELLER made an excellent
speech on the silver question. He
quoted high authority, and facts in
abundance, to establish the proposition
that silver has not deprecated in value,
but has been crippled by unfriendiy
legislation. In the course of his speech
Mr.. TELLER paid his respects to the
prophets who predicted when the silver
bill was passed years ago that the United
States would soon drop down to the
silver standard and all the business of
this country be damaged thereby. Mr..
TELLER noes not mention it, but it is
fact that the New York Hcrald ventured
10 name a day within six months of the
time the prediction was made when sill
yer dollars would be worth only their
value as a commodity
The Greenback lunatics were not one
whit more foolish than the anti-silyer
lunatics. Both Of these sets of lunatics
have come to naught. As we had occa-
Bion TO say long ago. no man living can
tell how many silver dollars can be kept
al par in this country by the simple de-
vice Of making them receivable for taxes,
md therefore as good as gold. The
Westminster ReVicw maintained in a
long essay that very small amount Of
gold would. especially in country such
rs the United States, keep silver dollars
st par if the silver and gold were alike
receivable for Government dues. Mr..
WATTERsON says that this country could
itself advance the price OF silver bullion
TO par with gold bullion by making the
coinage Of silver as free as the coinage
Of gold at tie nints

General MALONE makes repeated
mention of the fact that we were the
first to publish Mr.. JOHN s. WIsE's let
ter censuring his policy. He forgets to
state that we offered to furnish him as
much room as We had accorded to his
distinguished lieutenant To-day We
give the General a full hearing and We
must add that it is the best-written pro-
duction of his which has ever come
under our notice. We could, if We had
room, point out numerous "sly digs
which he gives TO Mr.. WISE. However,
it is not necessary for us to do So Mr..
WISE will not overlook one Of these
hits; and if he doesn't make the fur fly
when he returns to the charge, we are
mistaken.

Mr. Frazier r,as q word to say.

70 the Editor Of Mo Dispatch:
Usually your paper has stated the po-
sition of the Republicans pro and con
more clearly than you have been able to
define that OF the free-trade tariff for
revenue high-tariff Democracy. But
vour position on Mahone's call of dele
gates is clear from the mark. Malone
has "outwitted" no one save Malone
and his friend Sherman. He nor his
committee had a right to call district
convention at all, and if at all, not os he
has done. Chairman Jones writes.
and bis letter was read to Ma
hone, that the committee intended
to have the delegates represent their
congressional districts, to get them III the
most drcci Manner rOmthc people, and
10 prevent Acknowledgement of any.
No one but Malone would contend that
to carry the Tenth district to Petersburg
into State convention, over which pre-
sides a chairman that the present plan
of organization permits Malone to APP
point, and who under the present plan
appoints the committee on credentials,
who passes upon all contested cases and
after the ants are weeded out under the
koss's rule, then If they-whos ttcy ?
not the people, no but delegates that
are left after the weeding-out pro-
cess 10y the boss machine-can, if
majority, and they probably will,
if they lind, as they will, that
others have been chosen, so deter
mine-that is, after the boss finds he has
" stocked the cards, " through his COM
mittee and State Committee, return say
200 miles TO some central place IN the
district and nominate two delegates to
Chicago. C., going 400 miles to nomi-
nate. when the chairman declares 1t
shall be done lin the most direct man
ner." Such farce, if sustained at Chi
cago, Will bring the whole Republican
party into cOntempt-a position that,
from the press and private letters, we
know they have no idea Of being driven
by Malone. Having killed Sherman by
his secret circular the Republicans have
no idea Of permitting him to defeat their
party in advance by unfolding such a
scheme rs he has promulgated and as he
no doubt 1atters himself" Heather
Chinesed the "kickers.
Have no fears, MIR. Editor. General
Malone having by his rule-or-ruin policy
given YOU the State-and contributed to
that extent giving you the nation-will
never have the satisfaction of sitting on
the safety-valye Of the Republican party
Of the nation as he has of that in Nir-
GINA. And we take ii the very fact that
Won lind Malone will go overheard at last
has brought about this change OF colors
on your part Mahone's policy out Of the
wav. and Virginia will be Republican
bytwenty thousand, and we believe no
one is more convinced of this than your
self. Hence your declaration that Ma
hone has the cards stocked and would
have us believe it. We-when | say we
1 mean the Republican.Party of the coun-
twill demonstrate at Chicago that
stocking cards in Republican conventions
by petty bosses had its day when
Conkling stocked them against Blaine in
1880, and was stamped out in 1881,
never to return again, certainly not by
Malone and his methods.

The Republican leaders in Virginia
keep us in doubt all the time as to what
they are after. We publish to-day let
ter from Mr.. J. A. FRAZIER, Of Rock
bridge. in which he follows up the Wash
jngton Repubiican's attack upon Gen
pral MALONE, and almost porsuades us
that be and his fcllow-bolters, or fellow
regulars, intend TO send delegates to
Chicago 10 be selected as recommended
by the R,pujican, and in accordance
with the regulations adopted by the Re-
publican National Convention of 1884.
lut General MALONE has such n grip
upon his followers that even JONI 5.
WISE has not been able to cause them 70
break ranks. The negroes constitute so
large a majority Of the Republicans in
the black belt that the white Republicans
in that belt are naturally afraid to
antagorize MALONE and thus compel
him 10 call out his "Africsn contingent. "
They are afraid that the General will re-
mand all boitcrs to private life and OBJ
security and place his myrmidons 1--WE beg
pardon Of AcHILLEs) in charge Of al the
concerns Of the Republican party.
If not, why DO We hear Of no move
ment in any part of the State, conducted
Nv leading Republicans, looking to the
selection Of delegates under the Chicago
plan to contest the seats of the delegates
whom General MAHoNE will appoint
lie can better afford to wait until
after the meeting Of the Repub-
lican State Convention than they
can. And vet, rs we pointed out
iAc other day, they viii make them
selves liable to the opprobuum Of being
called "bolters if they call their irreeu-
lar auti-MMo>E congressional-distnct
conventions before the time for the US

:. WISE could xtrlcate his re-
calcihaut friends from their present sin
pular pro5icamcnt Or--who knows?-
perhaps hc Las decided not to cut him
self oil from membership in the State
Convention. and Will DO nothing before
tie convention assemblies, which would
afford General MALONE a good reason
Tor chasing him with the boilers.
After writing to this point We received
the Harrisonburg state Ropubiicqn Of
This week containing General MAHoNE's
reply to Sir. WisE's letter. Mr.. WISE is
handled without gloves, bat very gen
teclly. He is DO longer a trusted friend
al MAHoNE's In fact, the General asks
him very signihcanty-not IN words but
in substance-how he expects to get into
the approaching State Convention.
We have heretofore said that il the
Blaineitos called congressional-district
conventions before the time for the
meeting of the State Convention Gene
raj MALONE would rule them out. This
hint to Mr.. WISE is III the same line of
thought apparently.

ISismnrclK.

Again there comes from Germany
what our northern contemporaries are
pleased TO term the startling rumor
that BISMARCK is about TO resign. At
this writing it is impossible to tell whc-
Their there is any truth in the rumor or
not. We shall not be prepared to be-
lieve that BISMARCK has ceased to
be a factor In the government OF the
empire until tho official announcement
of his resignation and its acceptance has
been made. But even should he desire
to relinquish the power he has so long
held. and FREDERICK consent to his re-
tiroment, there is no reason why the
world should be startled. Considering the
procarious condition OF the Emperor's
health and the fact that he has shown
that he leans upon the Chancellor, it
would perhaps be better that the latter
remain in Office. But when that is said
all is said We do not underestimate
BIsMARcR's genius for statesman
ship, his value as counsellor
to his sovereign, and his power over
the people; yet we believe the time
has passed when his resignation would
be a grave matter for Germany or IN
crease the chances for q European war.
In 1877 BISMARCK rendered his rcsigna-
ton, but the old Emperor peremptorly
refused TO consider il. "Never, never
WILLIAM is reported to have exclaimed.
The loss Of BISMARCK from the Councils
Of the empire at that time might have
proved n serious blow to the Fatherland.
1t is doubtful whether any other man
could have accomplished as much as lie
has during the last eleven years towards
cementing German unity. He has had
problems TO deal with and crises to
meet which were Of the most
momentous character, and mono save
one Of bis mould could have
triumphed as he has. In 1877 his work
was not finished. 1t may be said that
then the superstructure Of German unity
rested on those three great pillars
WILLIAM, BISMARCK, and Won MOLTKE.
Now his work is done, and the foundation
of theempire is German patriotism. Were
BISMARCK to die or resign tomorrow his
would heir n policy already
projected in many respects far into the
future. As to the reasons given for the
Chancellor's alleged intention to resign
we attach no importance to any of them
except i'll health. He has proved too Of
ten his patriotism and devotion to the
House Of HOhenzollern to be open to the
suspicion that he would desert the invalid
FREDERICK because he (BIsMARCK) hap
pened to be unified. The Chancellor
knows how to rule but he also knows
how to submit, not only to his imperial
master but to the people, when duty re-
quires it.

The Brooklyn Times Union, a lead
ing Republican journal, mentions the
fact that Mississippi will cast twice as
many votes in the Republican National
Convention as Vermont though in the
former State the Republican orgsniza-
tion has ceased TO exist, and then by
necessary implication warns MALONE and
SHERMAN as follows:
"That Senator Sherman expects 10
enter the convention with substantial
following cannot be doubted if he re-
mains in the field. But bis hold on the
shadowy remnants Of Republication in
the South can hardly be expected TO
help his canvass in the northern States.
Among intelligent Republicans the dis
position is 70 allow the Commonwealth
which do the voting TO do the nomins-
ting. There is manifest injustice, under
the theory OF popular representation
which forms the foundation Of Repubh-
canism, ia system that permits the
