RICHMOND, Va, December 10, 1888.
great ADD alarming evil stares us In the
face and calls at once for action.
The paragon OF commercial Industry
known as the manufacturer. continues Ia
many instances TO betray his trust. He
awsits bis doom With anxious expectation.
Aud while he thus patiently fingers TO re-
ceive bis Just retribulion he strikes countless
blows at the very life Of commerce.
This exponent OF business principles ~
stalks our land in unbridled sovereignty,
which inglorIous heritage is the gift OF a
slngulary- devised law. In this embarrassed
capacity be sells every person from whole
sale merchant dawn 10 the humblest peasant
The time has come, we think, to call halt.
Peddag by the manufacturer has assumed
gigantic proportions. Unless II is ruled out
by the Overwhelming, crushing veto OF lovers
OF leg innate exchange business health and
prosperity must perish. Joboers aud re-
taiers aud retailers and consumers should
not be robbed OF thelf just dues by these
grasping intermediums and CO. betweens.
II the recent verdict OF our court was
carried out by the manufacturers we would
be hurled into frightiul commercial panic.
Terror and devastation would sweep over
the business word in untold, unseen horror,
and every home except the manufacturer
would be changed into homeless poorhOuse.
Then would the miller peddle bis -four from
door to door; then would the shoe-fsctory
b. come the rendezvous OF bAlf-shod millions
to the ruination and bankruptcy OF retail
dealers, and the manufacturers OF tobacco
would crowd out the myrisds OF poorer
members OF their fraternity who earn a live
lihood from the sale OF their product.
These advertisers o., as they are called,
profess to give the merchaRjs the entire bene.

BE not deceived; there Is sure remedy for
such apostacy. Refuse 10 handle their
goods at any reduction In price, for the gifts
OF treschery are filed with venom.

We also commend 70 our New York con-
temporary a paragraph taken from Dr.
CuRRY's speech OF last week before the LIE
gislsturc Of Georgia. He said:

that dark shadows Of the future are flung
across Our pathway. IL Is idle 70 shut your

dangers bali way, even though they come no
further.
The Tribune will understand from these
utterances that the race problem in the South
cannot be settled by putting negro Republl-
can parti.sns in charge OF the elections OF
southern congressman. The South has ac-
commodated herself to negro suffrage. DO not
put the nightmare q negro election officers
and negro congressman upon her breast.

The northern Republican papers are citing
the Birmingham riot as an evidence OF the
low state OF civilization in the south. The
birmingham riot was pretty bad affair, but
our northern friends would better not argue
on the line noted unless they want to have
some OF the northern cities elassed pretty Far
down in the scale Of civilization. In mauy
OF the older cities OF the North riots have oc-
CURED when the people had much less pro-
vocation to break the law than bad the peo-
pie OF Birmingham. How about the RIOT

A CITY OF CANVAS.
Great street Parade that Pleased
IlInnannha.


-Four trains, comprising one hundred
long cars, loaded with thousands of OBJ
jects that constitute the greatest show
on earth" rolled into Washington Just
as day was breaking. Thousands gath
cred to watch the unloading, and around
the exhibition grounds great crowds as
sembled to see the canvas city built. In
an hours time the metropolis of the show
world was at home. Hundreds of beau
tiful horses were taking breakfast in the
large tents that constitute the horse fair
The hotel with its walters in white
coats, was filled with men cleaner and
more. respectable in appearance than has
ever been seen with n circus. That they
enioyed the morning meal was evident
and that the chefs were masters Of their
art was seen mt q glance over the savory
dishes. Elephants, camcls, animals Of
every description were as comfortable as
If in their native wilds and evidently en-
Joy three regular meals better than their
former way of hunting for it themselves.
Performers, artists riders and en-
ployes all seemed happy and contented
That IL is model show is evident. Mr..
Bailey was one of the busiest men about
the place, but when the great procession
started he seated himself IN his chair,
smiled with satisfaction, and devoted
himselfto lus morning mail.
The parade is a massive free pageant.
Bands of music gave life to the array
Golden chariots abound Open dens of
wild animals with their keepers robed
in glttering costumes attracted universal
attention. Here could be seen tigers
lions, wolves, eopards, panthers, hyenas,
serpents, hippopotamus and all sorts of
wild beasts. Monster elephants were har-
messed to tremendous alcgorical tabeaux
floats. Lilliputian ponies were used to
convey pretty midgcls. The children
found much to please them in the chariots
which illustrate the fairy stories that
charm them. Here were Little Red
Riding Hood, Beauty and the Beast, sin
bad the Sailor Robinson Crusoe Gin
dcrclla. Old Mother Goose, and even
Santa Claus was TO be seen driving golden
reindeer.
The Bedouins and Moors Arabs and
AlgeTians, mounted on their own wild
horses brought direct from the great Afri-
csn desert formed novel and pictur-
esque sight. The camcls with their
peculiar saddle tents with bright-eyed
swarthy children of the East peeping out
from between the hangings, would delight
an artist.
AS n contribution to the public,
promise of the greater wonders TO be seen
within the white walls of the main exhi-
bitions, it was all that could be desired.
1t is evident that Mr.. Barnum knew
what he was about when he once more
secured as an equal partner James A.
Bailey, who is acknowledged the leading
genius of the amusement world. The
show remains only to-day and tomorrow.
Exhibitions are given twice each day.
Reserved seats can be secured at Bren-
tanos.

was thronged, as there was an open-air
concert given by members of the band of
the Grand Opera, strengthened by per-
formers from other theatres. The selec-
tions included the newest of popular
music, executed in SPLENDID style. The
orchestra was surrounded by thousands Of

houses are marvels in their way. The

palms and tree ferns. The narrow
paths are lined with a20lcas IN varied
shades, and at the end there is a large
grotto, with winding steps leading TO
view is obtained. The walls are
covered with japonioas and the whole
interior is unlike other conservatories We
have visited. The collection Of birds Is
very extensive, and there are fine speci-
mems from our American shores. The
various animals are placed in larges cages,
either under cover or on the lawns, and
n clear stream of water flows through the
garden crossed by bridges and filled with
one hundred swans and waterfowl in
Vulnerable. AT the side is high dove
tower. the home of countless pigeons.
We were much amused in Watching the
riders upon the backs of elephants, camels
and donkeys as they made way around
the circle; There was one pretty wagon
cite, holding six little children, drawn
by an ostrich, while several strange
looking animals took the place of horses.
The Jar'din discrimination is IN the Bois
de Boulogne which is more attractive
each day as the season progresses. 1t IS
curious to see the handsome equipages on
a bright afternoon. 1t is the style to
drive ponies, and the procession of car
riages which enter the 3ois on Sunday
afternoons and fcte days is one of the
sights of Paris B
