The Wilmington News, one of the
leading Democratic papers in North Car
DINA, says: "Mr. Cleveland is in no
sense a great man. Neither is he poll
tician, His political motto should be-
Don't talk. Don't write Many a man
has wrecked his ambition with his mouth
and with his pen" The News is emf
nently correct in its estimate of, as well
as in its advice to Mr.. Cleveland, but it
will, all the same. fall into line in sup
port of him when he is made the nomi-
nee of his party in 1892, and will eat its
crow with relish that would make a
hungry mans mouth water-iust as all
the others who now criticise and de-
nounce him will do. But that is politics.

THE EAGL EAND THE TARIFF.

The Atchison Champion claims that al
the Republican dsilies of Kansas except
the Republican aud the Topeka Capital
have followed its lead into the free trade
camp. This is a serious Indictment of q
number of respectable Journals and with
regard to many of them is untrue. The
Lawrence Record, the Topeka Journal and
the Wichita EAGLE are the only daiies
besides the Champion that have lost their
tariff backbone-Emporia Republican.
Every few days something of the trend
Of the above turns up in some Kansas
paper, the gall of which is palpable, but
the falsity of which we will settle in the
next few lines.
The EAGLE, true enough, was the first
paper, Democratic or Republican, in
Kansas, to attack the Mckinley bill,
therefore we did not follow the lead of
the Champion, or the Journal, or any
other paper. On Tuesday morning, May
Goth the EAGLE contained column and
half double loaded editorial.
headed: ''The Mckinley Fraud
and Republican Responsibility" in
which to our own satisfaction, at
least, we showed that the bill was unjust
to the west. This was the elimination
of a series of editorials on free coin
age" on ''watered railway stocks" and
other rebellion material, and which ar
ticle concluded in the following words:
THE Lord preserve us, but what with
"the Mckinley bill. transportation
"abuses, option-dealing in wind
"grain. interest burthens, div
''idends on watered stocks, and hyp-
"ocritical prohibition, if the Republican
''party in Kansas don't hear something
drop next November then twenty-seven
''years of editorial service has only fitted
Gus for the insane asylum"
The article referred to was reproduced
in leading dailies in New York, Boston,
Cleveland, and we don't know where all
else, but not in single Republican pa
per in Kansas.
As to the claim of other Republican
papers having been first to lead off into
free trade that does not particularly con-

free trade. 1t never was for free trade

a protection that would be equivalent to
a hundred per ent advantage over every
other people in the world. But it does
not believe in protecting one class of
citizens at the expense of another class.
The truth, however, is that not one of
the Republican papers of Kansas named
ever made any show of fight on the
tariff question until subsequent to the
'Sluss interview" and the EAGLES edi-
torial comments which followed in the
weeks previous 10 our attack on the Nc
Kinley bill.

Our wellnigh forgotten friend, the
Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, comes TO the
front again with what he calls ''more
testimony againt Shakespeare" in the
current number of the North American
Review. He simply amplifes his IA
miliar theory that Sir Francis Bacon
was the author of the Shakespeare plays,
bringing forward new examples of the
famous cipher he claimed to have found.
These later discoveries add nothing I'M
portant to the controversy, and, despite
Mr.. Donnelly and his ingenious argu-
ments, the world will be in safe keeping
right along in full faith in the Bard of
Avon.

Ever since Chicago defeated New York
in the confession the Columbian exposi-
don the latter city has been more than
ever disposed to make light of the for
mer's pretensions and enterprise, but in
point of enterprise the windy city leads
the metropolis right along. The latest
innovation there is the introduction of
pneumatic tubing for the rapid transit of
parcels. The system works admirably
in Berlin and other European cities, and
its possession will make Chicago more of
a metropolis than ever.

Emperor William entertains the
notion, and has expressed it, that the
Germans are too well educated, espec-
tally in the classics, and that the schools
should give more attention to the train
ing of the body than to the development
of the brain, will be received with alarm
where it is not laughed to scorn. 1t is
evident that the German emperor, de-
spite all that has been said in his favor,
feels that learning is dangerous thing
to monarchies, and that the safety of
royalty rests alone upon an ignorant
populace. The proposition of the
emperor to restrict common-school edu-
cation in Germany is autocracy run
mad. 1t is an outrage upon the intelli-
gence and the loyalty of the German
people, and is not likely to pass unre-
buked

WINDSOR, Va, October %. 1890.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
Please allow me space in your columns
TO speak few words. Having read the
letter of Hon. Frederic Douglass and
others against John NJ. Langston, L
think myself that he was rather smart
and also a bolter, not even securing the
nomination Of the Republican party. L
notice his conduct does not warrant
single colored man to vote for him. Col
ored men in Virginia caLnot and must
not trust themselves to be led by Lang
ston. II Langston is elected to Con-
gress on November the 18th, l say beyond
a doubt the Fourth district will be In a
hopeless condition.
i appeal to the colored voters OF the
Fourth district not to vote for such a
man. Ii is not the time for colored men to
rule Virginia, and under such men as MIR.
Langston the State would soon be in
rebellion and colored men the follow
ers of such fanatics would be the VIC
TINS
want the colored men and the whole
race to be educated. IL we are to have
such men as Langston and Major Nc
Kinley and Henry O. Lodge to dictate
for us our republic will soon be as the
wilds OF Africa.
SO appeal to the colored votersto do
| feat the boiling candidate and vote for
Epes, the Democratic nominee.
I am a colored man who loves freedom
and honor, but il such men as Langston
and Malone are TO dictate for me / viii
vote no more, and advise the race to do
| the same.
Voters of the Fourth district OF Vir-
ginia, white and colored, see that Mr..
Epes is elected Tuesday week.
