WEDNESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 8.

TaE RICHMOND Dispatch says the ga
ZErTE is wrong when it states that the
Presidents policy ia opposed to the reno
val of the internal revenue tax on tobacco.
Well. let the President answer for himself
Here is what he says on the subject; III
must be conceded that none OF the Things
subisct TO internal revenue taxation are'
strictly speaking, necessaries; there appears
to be no iust com plant of this taxation by
the consumers of these articles, and there
seems to be nothing 80 we'll able to bear the
burden without hardship to any portion OF
the people. If this does not mean that the
Presidents policy is opposed to the reno
val of the tax on tobacco. then words have
ceased to be the signs of ideas. 1t is notthe
GAZETTE, but the Dispatch that is wrong;
and it has been so ever since the time 1t
suddenly stopped advocating the payment
of the last cent of the State debt, and began
its present advocacy of Reputation, 10
which it exceeds all the men who at first
supported that scheme under the name O.
readjusters.

July Is, in which he says: 1t is dangerous

murder. They have killed five men since
We came up, and they say they are going to
kill all of us some night. We don't get
much sleep. Have to keep guard on all
the time. We don't know when they intend
attacking US. We have sent to Victoria for
more help and hope they will come up soon,

take three or four weeks to get here. We
do not know the moment We will be shot
from the brush and dare not venture from

General Malone is in this city, stopping
at Chambe. He has been consulted
By the republican Senators who are prepar.
ing the Senate tariff bill, with regard TO the
particular industrial interests that 1t is sup,
posed Virginia may want protected. In
talking about the republican kickers in his
State, the General says they were never In
earnest, and that their so called electoral
ticket was bluff. He says be is sorry that
ticket will he Withdrawn. as were it to re-
main 10 The field it would show northern re-.
puhlicans the baseless structure OF the
kickers' movement, as it would not have
received more than Ave hundred, or pos
sibiy one thousand votes in the whole State.
The General, it is understood, will be recog.
nized bv the national republican committee
as the head of the Virginia republicans, and
his communications with that committee
will be directly with chairman Quay, and

The RECENT insulting letter written by
Mr.. John L. Davenport to Solicitor General
jerks has called to mind the fact that this
offensive republican partisan and political
manipulation still retains, under democra'
tic administration pledged to honest civil
service reform, his position as chief federal
supervisor of elections for the district of
New York. Why this simple fact alone
will naturally be likely to cause the Presi-
dent the loss OF more votes in New York
than those by which he carried that State in
1884.

Grafton of the Senate bill making an appEo-
priation to the Ohio Centennial Exposition,
Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa. offered an amend.
ment appropriating $4,000 to aid the e1.
position of the colored people at Atlanta,
Ga, ia 1889. MIR. Wise, of Virginia, spoke
of his failure to secure even government fa-
vor without an appropriation for the fair at
Richmond. He OF scted to helping any ex
position merely because it was colored
peoples exposition. He was opposed to class
distinction A white man was just as good
as oolored man any day. he was willing
to give colored man his rights bat no more
The line had to be drawn somewhere, aud
he drew it right here.
'Do you believe, interrupted Mr.. Hen
derson, that colored man is as good as
Il believe" retorted Mr.. Wise, that you
are just as good as any colored man."
Mr.. Henderson made 20 reply.

The REPUBLICANS. who declare that the
tax on whisky must be entirely removed
before that on the necessaries of life can be
touched, say free whisky will not Increase
the consumption of that article nor the mis-
cry necessarily incident thereto. But reck'
lessness of assertion is republican charac-
teristic In 1860, when gallon of whisky
could be bought for quarter, thirty million
people consumed ninety million gallons
now, when the tsx alone on a gallon Ia a
quarter, sixty million people consume less
than sixty million gallons.

declared that the COW is mans greatest enc
nv and that beef and milk arethe chiefcaus'
es of that fatal disease, consumption. Well, as
man has lived on beef and milk ever since
the earliest period, even of traditional his
tory, it is not likely that this declaration
will diminish the use or the price of either
of the articles referred to, especially in view
of the facts that nomadic tribes, who live
almost entirely upon beef, are less subject to
tuberculosis than those " no live in cities and
have a scant supply of meat, and as Just as
intelligent physicians as those com
posing the congress alluded to pre-.
scribe beef's blood for those affiict
el with that disease. The cow is now
as always, mans greatest friend, and all
that is requisite to make beef and milk the
most wholesome of all food ia that they
should be fresh and pure.

Frederick DOUGLASS says "the talk Of
colored men voting the democratic ticket is
rank with treason to the highest and best
interests of the colored race" This is lit
tie mider than his advice to his race four
years ago, which was that they should MAKE
it hot for colored men who might attempt
to vote the democratic ticket; but it still
has strong tendency toward bulldozing.
The only real Suppression Of the colored
vote ia that effected by the mortal dread in
dividual colored no en- have OF their own race,
and that that dread is potential is indicated
by the fact that the colored leader referred
to also says that in November the colored
race will cast solid vote for Harrison and
