No NEGRO Child in the South will suffer
by reason of the defeat of the Blair bill.
That no child in Virginia will suffer by it is
proved by the fourishing condition of the
public schools of the State. Then, too, the
defeat of the bill prevents the State from re-
ceiving aims from the creature it was chiefly
instrumental in creating. The State is a
repudiator by her own act; fortunately she
has been prevented from occupying the posi-
ton of pauper by the act of others.

in eermon In Washington last Sunday,
said "There has been terrible collapse OF
conscience and general decentralization oil

dishonesty 30 common among those in OH
cial stations" That the Doctor never spoke
truer words ia proved by the personal or &C
qulred knowledge of almost every well
Informed man in the country. The detec-
ton of dishonest official in former times
produced sensation throughout the entire
Union, while It has become of such COM
mon occurrence nowadays that it creates no
special wonder.

THE LATE grounding of the U. 8. steamer
Dispatch in the Potomac recalls to memory
the fact that two other U. S. vessels ran
aground while entering or leaving northern
harbors last summer. There is an idea at
the Navy Department that the commanders
of all T. s. vessels are skillful pilots, thor
oughly familiar with all the navigabie
waters of the country but there never was
a more absurd one. Had the Dispatch On
her way down the river, stopped here and
taken on a pilot che would have saved the

AMONG THE few articles manufactured In
this country for which there is an export
trade are those made OF leather. me rea
son of this is the fact that there is no tax Cd
hides. the raw material of the articles re-
ferred to. But the republican, in Congress
would stop that export trade also, deprive
the leather manufacturers of market Tor
their surplus product, restrict the market
to their own country, and consequently re-
duce the demand for and price OF the labor
they employ, by imposing duty on hides
But the South can stand this also as we'll az
the North, as most of the leather manuiac-
tories are located In the latter section.
