WAsHvGToS. January 29.-It was mat
ter Of talk about the Capitol to-day that
several Republican senators, sufficient in
number to meet the needs of the Demo-
Gratis, had assured the Democratic man
ayers in the Senate that under no circum-
stances would they vote again TO take up
the elections bill this session. Inquiry
shows that there is basis of truth in the
report. II cannot be learned that anything
like formal pledges on the subject have
passed, but IL is certainly q matter Of as
surance among Democratic senators that
the bill is not to arise again to trouble
them. and they have notified their party
friends in the House that there is no longer
any necessity 20 let the possibility of the
return of the elections bill to the House
enter into their calculations when consld-
ering the order Of business in that body.
So, too, it is learned on the Republican
side Of the Senate chamber that any effort
to resume consideration Of the bill will be
resisted by certain Republican western
senators, though those senators do not
care TO be quoted In the matter.

dent request. We would commend a his
tory of the Revolutionary war as colonial
exhibit, and it would be appreciated by the
truly great and held to be sufficient. But
when we reflect that Virginia and the South
were plundered of their all in order that
Chicago should roll in wealth and boom
her cannon in joyous refrain over the de-
struction of Columbia, IL is adding insult
to inlury--Ossa upon Pelion piled. The
great Northwest is Yirginias contribution
TO the galaxy Of States, and in return the
old mother in her bitterness of soul has,
like Leah, exclaimed: How sharper than a
serpents tooth ii is to have q thankless

to-day Chicago presents Libby Prison as o
shrine where cupidity can be satiated and

THE MKINLEY TARIFF LAW
slgnor Grimaldi Learnedly Discusses Its
Effects on European Trade.


lBy Angio-Amsricau cable 20 tho DlSpatch.l
ROME, January 29.--In the course of his
budget speech Signor Grimaldi SAID " The
United States has Just strengthened Its
customs barriers, threatening by measures
of extreme rigor any one daring to wage
open or concealed war against American
products. This has no great or direct
interest for US. The Mckinley law
is not too unfavorable TO our ex-
ports. Taken altogether American re-
form has not been judged Justly. In the
South and West of the United States
new political force, the Farmers Alliance,
is developing, which demands the aboli-
tion in Europe of repTisal ruinous to
commerce and the trade Of Eu-
rope. The tariff must not be judged
by our ordinary standards. Once high
taxes are imposed on raw materials COM
pensation must be found along the entire
acts-scales of duties in the manufacture
ordinarily fixed according TO the value and
determined by law, IN such manner as 20
represent much less than the actual cost
of the produce leaving the American Gus
toms. In short, the true explanation
of the Mckinley law Is found
in dd-UdlOreDt system andsthe innumerable
frauds which the system facilitates ii not
provokes. Whether the customs or the

To the Editor Of the Dispatch;
Please do me the kindness TO correct
your generally accurate reporter IN regard
TO the motion made at the meeting Of the
Agricultural Society which was this; That
the present fairgrounds be sold, as l
thought it would bring about S2Oo, 900, and
all of the debts of the society paid. then
offered them Strawberry Hill,' contain
ing $40 acres, for 800 per acre, and offered
to make the society q present OF my COM
missions on the sale. The society would
by this means get out of debt. We would
stop begging and have money in bank.
No place near Richmond is so well suited
for this purpose as strawberry Hill"
The Chesapeake and Ohio railway passes
for one mile through the property and the
new electric road is 10 run within few
hundred Yards of il. Tue State could use
a part of this farm as experimental grounds.
or the society could sell of one half at a
profit and still retain the handsomest
place near the city 10 hold it's exhibitions.
Yours. respectfully, K. B. CHAFFIs.
