VIII Not Marry.
SYRACUSE, Oct. l2.-The engagement
OF Miss Winnie Davis, the Daughter OF
tho Coniederacy," to Mr.. Alfred Will
kinson, Of this city, which was an-
nounced less than six months ago, and
which created so great surprise in all
sections OF the country, will never be
carried out. Very intimate friends here
Of Miss Davis authorize this statement
tonight. They assign rs the cause the
ill.health OF the young lady. Now that
the rumor first started from the South,
as it should properly, the friends OF
both are less re.icent regarding the
matter. 1tseems that Mias Davis has
not been in good health Tor some time,
and that she went abroad for tho pur.
pose OF recruiting her strength. Her
trip was beneficial, but did not restore
her fully to health. Her mother and
her intimate friends felt that, under
these circumstances, it were best that
the prospective marriage should be
annullcd, and this step Was most reluct.
antly taken by Miss Davis. On the
other hand, some Of Wilkinson's friends
are OF the opinion that the recent re.
vesses OF bis family, his moderate in.
come and the still more recent burning
OF the old homestead had some weight
in shaping Miss Winnie'A decision.
There is general regret here that the
match will not take place, inesmuch as it
would have been one OF the most re.
markable and romantic on record. Mr..
Wilkinson has had nothing to say about
the matter, even to bis most intimate
friends, and conducts himself admirably
under tho somewhat trying ordeal. He
refuses to be interviewed on the subject
and seems much immersed in business.
The statement is made III local paper
that sometime ago prominent gentle
man Of this city received request from
the South for information concerning
Mr.. Wilkinson, The failure of the
Wilkinson family was particularly in.
quired into. This was thought by some
to be quite significant at the time.

A Cash Party.
New YORK yyorld.I

Originally the Republican party re-
volyed about the idea of freedom as its
central thought. 1t was for free soil,
free speech. free men.
To-day it revolves about money. Its
animating principle is cold cash.
The tariff, whatever it was once, Is
now simply scheme for levying cam
paign expenses The legislator gives
the manufacturer access to the peoples
pockets, and the manufacturer con-
tributes to the legislators election fund.
The pension system has been extended
far beyond its original and beneiicent
purpose of caring for the manned and
the widow. 1t is now q device for the
purchase Of one beneficiary vote aud
two or three collateral votes from the
benefciary's relatives.
The sole plank in the party platform
which has the slightest appearance Of
the old-time philanthropy IS in reality
nothing more than a contrivance in the
interest of greed. The object of force
legislation is, by neutraliZing one half
the southern vote by the other to retain
the grasp of the party of cash on the
national stronghold. The welfare OF
the colored man is simply a veil to
cover this Interior purpose. No less
an authority than Speaker Reed openly
said in his Philadelphia speech on
the Fourth Of July last that if the
southern States would send up Repub-
lican representatives proportionate to
the colored population they might
deal with negro suffrage in State
elections as they saw tit, and on this
his party practically stands with him.
If the colored man is di frlnchised, as
claimed, the remedy should not extend
merely to his congressional and presi-
Dental vote, but so far only does the
force bill go. His interior or State vote
is of no service 10 the Republican party,
and no legislation is proposed upon 1t.
His exterior or national vote is all 1t
cares for, and to this extent only it pro-
poses 20 legisate in his alleged behalf.
In the ranks of the Republican party
are thousands and hundreds of thou
sands with the old sentiments, but the
leaders of the host believe that the only
sound political principle is cash. They
rely for supremacy on the use of the
finances and business Of the country as
| q party fund.

The v. VI. I. Affair.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
OCTOBER 10, 1890,

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Your correspondent has read with
much interest all that has been PUBLISH
ed in the Dispatch relative to the Talia-
ferro tragedy at the Virginia Military
Institute. We are surprised that a
similar occurrence at that place IN 1898
should not have been noticed by some
Of your many correspondents, the result
of which showed unmistakably that this
mode of settling difficulties has not al
WAYS been sanctioned by the authorities
of the Institute, as many seem TO think.
In November of that year Cadet Nicko-
las. of the third class, had difficulty
with another cadet, Jacobs, of the
fourth class. The latter challenged
Nicholas. which was promptly accepted.
ARRANGEMENTS were made for a meeting
in rear of the arsenal, and sufficient
number of witnesses were present
to see fair play. Tie fight was soon
ended by Jacobs being knocked down
and his colar-bone broken. This could
not be kept secret, and was immediately
brought to the notice of the Superinten-
dent. Colonel Smith. Nicholas was
conrt martialled and expelled. notwith-
standing it was proved that no undue
advantage had been taken of Jacobs and
that he was much the larger boy. The
action of the court was thought by the
third class 10 Toe an outrage, and meet
ing was held and resolutions passed ask
ing for Reinstatement of young Nicko-
las. setting forth the fact that the light
had been fairly conducted, but to this a
deaf ear was turned and our appeal
treated with silent contempt.
Another meeting was held and 1t was
resolved that unless Nicholas was REIN
stated that the class would leave with
him. After waiting few days and re.
ceiving no reply eighteen members OF
the third class left in body. thus
proving their loyalty to maltreated
comrade.
AS an ex-cadet we are glad to see this
manner of settling difficulties approved
by the present authorities OF the insti-
tute, and can conceive of no better way,
except that outdoors is a better place
| than in the house.
In the above we hope to be under
stood as making no reflection upon
| General Smith or any one else, but think
the faculty were too hasty in their action,
and believe they soon found out their
mistake from the fact that in few weeks
the entire class was invited to return.

DIR. McTlwsine on Laugston.


DR.. Richard Mcllwaine, of Hampden-
Sidney, Va, comes to New York straight
from the congressional district in which
John NJ. Langston has been renomi-
mated without convention, Just as he
was elected without votes. The Doctor
is a venerable man, minister of the
Gospel, aud not disposed to speak harsh
ly OF anybody. But as lifelong friend
Of young L. O. Venable, who was arbi-
trarily unseated by Speaker Reed, as well
as in his role OF lifelong friend. adj
wiser, and helper of the negroes, who in
that district so outnumbered the white
voters, DR.. Mcllwaine cannot avoid
having strong convictions on recent
political developments in the Black
Belt, and he expresses them vigorously.
No white man who has sufficient credit
in the community down there to run up
grocery bill believes Langston WA
elected before or that he will be again.
And yet. 30 great are the changes that
the point Of view makes in the estimate
OF honorable men that John :. Wise. OF
this city. was heard to say not long AGO
that he believed Langston was elected

STILL ANOTHER.
Advertise the City.
The Dispdtch Of Sunday concludes

The Dispatch Of Sunday concludes q
wise and timely editorial thus:
"Cities thousand miles of advertise
in our daily papers. Others near by
have agents who frequently visit us.
Circulars from others flood the mails Of
our businessmen. Everywhere We see
organization and activity. which We
would do well to copy.
"What have we spent in advertising
in the past five years? Next to no.
thing.
"If we want to succeed we shall have
to adopt the methods of the day. We
must advertise ; not talk about it, but
advertise.
That's it; advertise. There are many
ways Of advertising this city. One OF
the best methods was suggested in a
Letter from the People" which APP
peared in the state few weeks ago.
1t was for the Chamber of Commerce
to employ competent man TO
30 to New England and stay in
that section as all agent for Rich
mond, his duties being to enlighten
New England manufacturers and capt.
talists on the advantages Of this city.
There are scores Of small manufacturers
in Maine, Vermont, and New Hamp-
shire who are barely getting along, aud
who are just waiting for an opportunity
to better themselves. IL they we're ac-
quainted with Richmond's advantages
they would remove to this place. Mas
sachusetts has millions OF idle capital.
Let those capitalists fully understand
what we have and they would gladly III
vest here.
Richmond is growing steadily with.
out any special advertising. But cities
must grow rapidly in these days or be
left behind.
With the right sort OF advertising our
growth will be rapid instead of conserya.
tive.

To the Eaitor of the Dispatch :

To the EditOr Of the DiSpatch:
BY large odds the dog nuisance in the
city is the greatest of all A man ma
turally polite and considerate of the
feelings and comfort of others will allow
his dog to become an intolerable nui-
saDce and not notice 1t. 1t is not an
unusual thing to see a dog-fght on Main
street. A friend with his dog will bring
his pet in your store and allow him
to upset everything You don't like
to drive the dog out. That would make
your friend mad. But your friend is
taking an unfair advantage of you.
Then the dog howls, barks, and snaps at
night. Hundreds of people are dis
turbed. You complain, but, strange to
say, the owner never heard any noise.
A poor little dog like his would not dis
turb anything. l..

RALEIGH, n. c., October 14--Gov-
,rnor Fowle to-day opened the thirtieth
annual State Fair, which begins under
yery favorable auspices The exhibits
are creditable in all the departments.
The Governor made speech q quarter
OF an hour in length, ia which he had
many things to say regarding tho state
Of interest and value. The crops this
wear, he said have been produced more
economically than ever before, and the
farmers have paid their debts, leaving
money in hand. There is a notable i'm
provemept in stock, particularly cattle.

lima which stood second only to Ohio in
1850 will be second only to Georgia in

mlt has been millions Of dollars to the
farmers and relief 10 overtasked lands. 1t
can now be said that there is no unem-
ployed labor in the State. Every per
son available for duty on the farm is at
work.
AN INTERESTING POINT.
The Governor made an interesting
point regarding the negroes in North
carolina and Massachusetts,. He showed
from the census that while IN the latter
State one negro out Of every l7S was
in prisop. in North Carolina only one
ont of every j2l was thus confined.
Il. f. Smith (colored), the ex.Mlnis-
ter 70 Liberia appointed by Cleveland,
delivers the address at the Colored State
Fair.
This State is making valuable col
lection of portraits of prominent men,
and today two additions were made TO
tbis in the shape of portraits of Gene
rails Rufus Barringer and William ID.
Fender, which were placed IN tho
Library.
THE sUB-TREAsUBY BILL.
Senator Vance has written L. @. Bed
djngfield. secretary of the State Alliance,
a letter regarding his position rs to the
sub Treasury bill which ought to satisfy
the most extreme alliance-man. The
Senator will certainly support that mea-
sure il he is shown that 1t is legal.
The warfare on Congressman Brewer
in the Fifth district is very hot. To-
morrow's Reidsvilles paper will contain
a direct attack upon him, relterating
the charges of immortality in Washing
ton made by Joseph Bradiield. The
best Judges of the status OF affairs tell
me Brewer will certainly be defeated
SIMMONS, PROBABLY.
Tomorrow the Democratic Executive
Committee OF the Second district will
select a candidate Uice W. j. rogers,
who resigned ON account of health. f.
NJ. Simmons will probably be the com
mittee's choice.
The Republicans are making efforts to
establish campaign organ here. They
have secured funds for their campaign
work-very probably from the national
committee.
