NOT STATESMANLIKE.

IT is possible that CAPRIvI. Emperor
WILLIAMS new chancellor, is statesman.
but if SO his way of making the fact known
is peculiar, to say the least. For instance,
the other day CAPRIvI said that Germany
and France were on more friendly terms
than ever before, and that unless some
thing unforeseen happens the friendly re-
lations viii continue. 1t is well to take p
cheerful view OF the situation, but it is not
well TO try to deceive where it is impossi-
bic to do so. If there is an able-boiied citi-
zen of France or Germany who is not
under arms or is where he cannot be sum-
moned to arms within forty eight hours the
war officials of the respective govern
ments do not know of his existence. Tho
amicable relations which are maintained
by immense standing armies eager to fly at
each other are likely to continue only until
one or the other sees an advantage. Every
German and every Frenchman know that
the chancellor in talking as above was
either deplorably ignorant of the trpe
situation or he assumed that everybody
else was ignorant. Indeed, so far from
having kissed and made up, we are in
clined TO believe that all patriotic French
men and all normal Germans regard it as
an insult to be told that they are friends
and that they never expect to fight again
They not only expect to have at each other
again, but want to fight as soon as their
leaders shall say the word, ant; each will be
greatly disappointed if the next set to does
not result in the complete humiliation of
the other
The talk which causes the Germans to
believe that it is only question of a short
time when they will be called upon to cross
the border and give the French dressing
down is much more pleasing to them than
the assertion that they are on good terms
with the Gauls ami are likely to continue
friendly. CAravI has certainly been guilty
of blucder.

SEPARATING.


There is reason to believe that Justice
LAMAR was not talking at random when he
told THE HERALD'S Washington correspon-
dent, MIR. FRANK G. CARPENTER, a few
weeks ago, that Mississippi would soon be
negro state. The justice represented
hlnlself as having tired of trying to main

a southern paper points out that in accord
aace with the law of nature which gives TO
the inferior race greater provocative power
than to the superior, the fecundity of the
negroes is greatly in excess of that of the
whites. In addition to this the negroes ofVir-
GINA. Georgia, North Carolina and the upper
tier OF the southern states are moving to
the warmer states in large numbers. AS
the black population increases and the ma
lority grows, the white people retire, and
seek communities where life, socially and
politically, will be more agreeable
For more than quarter of century the
blacks have occupied position of equality
with the whites, SO far as the law and the
central government could make the two
races equal, and today the white and the
black races are as far apart as they were
5 the morning of the issuance of the
emancipation proclamation. Instegd of
approaching each other they are drawing
apart, the superiority of the whites being
as marked as ever, and the antagonism
being pronounced wherever the blacks are
at all numerous, or enough so to make
them factor in the community If the
generation that has passed since
the negroes were endowed with
full citizenship and all the rights
which the whites possess, has brought no
other results than the intensifying of the
mutual dislike, is it reasonable to suppose
that any time will be sufficient to over
come what nature has implanted in the
hearts of the two races! We apprehend that
1t will be negro rule over negro communi-
ties and that whites will govern them
selves. In other words, that the blacks
will gradually herd together in those states
where they will be IN absolute control,

the retirement of the whites-they will in

struggle for supremacy will not have to go
on. Whether or not this separation will
be better for the blacks it will certainly be
to the advantage of the whites of the south

TARIFF HISTORY.

In the last number Of the North american
Rccjcss MIR. MCKINLEY writes on the "ValUe
o. Protection" A careful reading Of the
article caascs one to think that so far as
MIR. MCKINLEY has been able to how,
there are 30 benefits CT protection. 1t

Ireland,' which said, There are no snakes
in Ireland" TIE paper makes e -eral
assertions, which it ate pts to prove
neither by & nor by history MIR. Nc
hINLEY remar- that this country has
tried a revenue tariff and a protective
tariff 1t has indeed; and the following
census figures give the results of the re-
spective trials. Mr.. MCKINLEY gave no
figures, but was content to say that the
result has been favorable to protection.
He said: 1.-THE revenue tariff system has
wholly failed to give to the government or
the people satisfactory results. AS a
measure affecting the development of our
country and the opening up of its vast re-
sources, it was failure from its Inaugural
ton It did not eUe7s benefit GgricMture,n etc
Nearly thirty years of trial of the sys-
TEN Of protection with its marvellous
achievements ought to be answer enough
to the criticisms Of its enemies
This beautiful picture is incomplete with
out statistics, and these Mr.. MCKINLEY
failed to furnish. Here are the statistics,
which viii, we doubt not embellish and
give point to Mr.. McKINLEY's argument:
The increase in the value of our farms
between 1850 and 1860, the free trade, or
low tariff era, was as follows:

That is, in ten years of low tariff our
farms doubled in value; in twenty years of
high tariff they have increased only 81 per
cent.
The value of farms given in the census
for 1870 was S, 262, 500, sci. or a proportion
ate increase about ono-half as great as that
of the free trade period. These last figures
have been used by protectionist writers 10
show that the total increase between 1860
and 1870 was about three -fourths as great
as it had been in the period between 1850
and 1860. The question, however, is one of
ratios, or of proportionate increase, not
merely Of totals, just as when $40 earn only
SO cents this year, whereas s. earned so
cents in the same time at some other
period, the s. increased proportionately
twice as fast as the ten, though the totals
are the same. But the values for 1870 are
given in currency, when gold was at q pre-
MUM of % Der cent, and a deduction of
about one fifth of the amount given for
1870 must be made in any comparison Of the
values for that year with any other year.
(Compend. 10th census, page 5S, part l.

twenty years as above.

KRYsvILLE, VA, Dec. s.-lspecial.l-
On Friday last the young and the old from

counties assembled near Bethlehem church
TO witness an old-fashioned Virginia tour
namsnt. The following knights entered the
list: r. G. Womack, knight OF White

hem; C.. ii. Friend, knight OF No Chance;
y. l.. Anderson, knight Of Log Cabin; u.

At s O'clock the knights, under the charge
of W. J. Lyle, chief marshal, were drawn
up in line and charged in an eloquent ad-
dress by one OF Charlotte's rising young
men. Mr.. j. Warren Wool. The riding
then commenced, and resulted as follows :
Mr.. Charles III. Friend won the honor OF
browning the queen, and selected MISS
Preston Womack. Mr.. j. ii. Priddy won
the first honor and selected as first maid
Miss Rosa Hite. Mr.. X. &. Womack WOO

GENERAL LEES BIRTHDAY.

A committee has been appointed by X. K.
Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, to al
range a suitable programme for the OBJ
seryance of General r. Z. Lees birthday, on
the 10Th Of January next. This will be the
first celebration OF the anniversary of the
birth OF the peerless hero under the act Of
the last Legislature making 1t = public
holiday, and it will be an occasion Of un.
usual interest throughout Virginia. As we
understand it, the purpose Of the committee
Is to map out some special programme,
90 that the day may be cele.
brated in manner TO mark IL
distinctively. The intention is that 1t shall
be no commonplace day, to be observed rs
we are in the habit Of observing the 22d OF
February. the 4th Of July, and similar ma
tional holidays; but that some special and
appropriate feature worthy Of being in
separately connected with the birth OF the IL
lustrious Lee, whose memory is TO be per-
petuated and honered, shall be adopted.
Lee Camp deserves great credit for the
position ii has taken in this matter, and il
10 to be hoped that its example may be fol
lowed all over the State. 1t il also hoped
that the committee may have the most
hearty cooperation Of all our citizens in the
proper carrying out Of any plan which
shall finally be agreed upon.

TX A clear and interesting article in the
Virginia Law Journal for November, S. S.
z. Patteson, Esq, a well known member Of
the bar of this city, has given a general
statement OF the existing status Of the law
in this State as 1t relates to the rights Of
married women. Even in the imperfect
condition Of the law, as it now stands, the
rights OF married women in Virginia have
been very much enlarged in recent years,
but much remains to be done before
formable to what the enlightened spirit of
the age demands. As compared with many
Of the States, the condition OF the law in
Virginia, as far as the legal rights of mar
ried women are concerned, is very unsatls-
factory for many reasons, but, at the same
time. as Mr.. Pattsson observes, the preva
lent tendency of our legislation is TO equalize
the sexes in the eyes OF the law. This
tendency can have but one logical issue
namely, a complete equalization in their
legal rights. There is one very sound OBJ
lection TO the conference Of the suffrage on
women. and that is their physical inability
to take an active part, II necessary, in back
ing up with force the decisions Of the bal
lot-box, but there is no such objection as
this to the extension Of the rights Of mar
ried women. In few years, the public
sentiment Of Virginia will require new re-
adjustment OF the law on this subject,
which will place our statutory provisions
abreast of those which have been adopted
in many OF the Northern and some OF the
States.

The Young Reformers.
NAV York TtmsaI

The young reformer is quite at the front
in Massachusetts nowadays. One Of his
kind was lately elected Governor OF the
State and two or three were chosen as rep
resentatiYes in the next Congress, and now
another is a candidate for Mayor Of Boston,
with almost certain assurance OF being
elected tomorrow. Whatever the political
antecedents OF the young reformer may
have been, he is now constrained as can
didate 10 be of the Democratic faith. The
Republicans are not looking for that kind.
Mr.. Nathan Matthews, Jr., is, however,
one Of the young reformers who were
Democrats from. the start, like William
+. Russell, the GOyernOr-elect, but
he is thorOugh-gOing reformer all
the same, and believes in administering
municipal affairs on business principles.
That is what gives assurance OF his cleo
ton. for those who are able to sink their
partisan ship in municipal elections. hold the
balance of power in Boston. There is a
goOdly Democratic majority in that city,
but the Republican candidate, Mr.. Moody
Merrill, is credited with the sympathy OF
the selEseeking and yenal elements in both
parties, and will get a good many Demo-
cratic votes. On the other hand, Mr.. Mat
thews has the support Of the business men
and independent citizens, which il worth
more than the forces that Merrill repre-
sents.

A Wise Step for Governor Hill.
lBufTalO Times

All signs seem to point TO Governor Hill
for United States Senator. There are sew
eral candidates, but the party seems intent
upon placing the Govenor in the National
body. The New York World has been
especially active for the election Of Cover
nor Hill, a choice that all Democratic
papers are ready to indorse. 1t is highly
complimentary to the Governor that all the
party papers, in naming their preferences,
insert the proyiso, "If Governor Hill ia not
candidate" A man Of such force and
individuality Of character as Governor Hill
would become very conspicuous in the
Uuited States Senate, and whatever
the result Of the National Democratic
Convention in 1892, his prospects would IN
no wise be impaired, but on the contrary
1t is argued that as United
States Senator he would have less chance OF
receiving the nomination for the Presidency
In 1892, but the argument does not seem
well founded. With his headquarters at
Washington he would certainly be well sit
uated TO render great service TO the parh
and extend his acquaintance with inauen-
tial men from all parts Of the country. 1t
seems to the Times wise step for Gov
ernor Hill to accept the proffered Senator
ship, both for his own and the party's ad-
vantage.

fact Is that Yitalized statue does not be-

work has no proper place in burying-
