A STARTLING STORY.

Grave Charges Against Homestead Mon.
Conspiracy to Poison the Non-union
Workmen.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1892-05-11

Some weeks back We discussed the PROPOSE
ton that each department Of our city govern
ment should be placed upon a basis that
would make It separate and apart from every
other one. That is. the Water Department, for
example, should be thus organized. A state
ment should be made UP of the money that
has been spent in creating this department.
1t should then be charged each year with in
terest on this sum and with all the expenses
Of administering it. II should then be credited
with all receipts that 1t takes IN. The balance
should go TO its credit as surplus revenue
produced by 1t, TO be applied in such way for
the general needs of the city as the wisdom
OF the City Council and Board Of Aldermen
might direct. The same should be done with
the Departments of Gas and Sewers. The rea-
sons for this as the true basis OF city govern
ment are very plain. Whilst each department
Is administered on the plan now in force each
goes TO the general treasury for whatever
money it needs. and the scramble between
them is always for which can get most out Of
the city. Economy in expenditures is there
fore not the order but the largest appropria-
tions possible for each department.
But If the other system were adopted each
department would be upon It's mettle to
make the best showing possible. Each
would then reduce its expenses TO minimum
and aim 1t producing oil the revenue it could.

THE "UNPLEDGED DODGE FOR RICH
MOND.

The voters Of this city are called upon TO
declare their will concerning the question,
Who shall represent them in the State Con-
yention? Two sets Of delegates are offered 70
them TO select between. one set declare
openly that it thinks Mr. Cleveland the most
available candidate. but that 1t IS bound 70
no man. II places the interest and success Of
the Democratic party far above all considera-
tions connected with any one man, of how
ever much consequence he MAJ be. This Is a
frank. open manly position, and in voting for
these gentlemen the voters know Just exactly
how they will be represented.
The other set come before the people de-
claring that they will 90 as ''unpledged' del
gates But we know that many Of them are
open and avowed advocates of the nomina-
ton OF Mr.. Hill. and that many Of the others
have leaning towards him. and the whole
ticket is being run and managed by the Iiill
manipulators Ii is therefore a Hill move
ment masked under the pretence that 1t Is
an impartial movement. Are the voters OF
Richmond going 10 allow themselves 10 be
gulled by any such transparent trick as this.
Are they going TO allow Themselves to be led
by the nose into aiding and assisting in Mr.
Hills nomination?
There can be no doubt that there is very
large body of voters in this city who if they
expressed their individual preference, would
declare that they prefer Dir. Cleveland. but
they think it unwise for Virginia to take any
active part in determining who shall be the
nominee. These people, however have no
sympathy with movement to nominate Dir.
Hill. Yet here is movement being engi-
neored right before their eyes to place
them in column which not only
aims at defeating the man of their choice,
but makes them aid in nominating a man to
whom they are opposed. VIII the voters of
Richmond allow themselves TO be thus
gulled? We do not believe it. Let every
voter ask each candidate before be casts his
vote to explain his position. II Mr.. Hill is
the popular candidate here let him have the
delegation But no tricks gentlemen. Let
his friends run on his strength and not on
the "unpledgei' idea.

Our efficient Superintendent of the Water
DEPARTMENT. Mr.. C. f. Boiling, has just made
q report 10 the Water Committee IN which
he recommends this course in respect TO the
Water Department. We quote from his re-
port as follows:
1t would be far better to place this depart
ment in its relations TO the city departments
on its own bottom. charge up all its present
bonded indebtedness TO the department, and
in future require it to be self-sustaining. /
am safo in saying with proper care 1t would
soon reduce its debt and DO in frst-class con-
dition."
Here is the testimony on the point
Of the man who should know most about the
matter. We know also that Colonel Cutshaw
is OF the same opinion. Come, now. gentle
men of the new Council. show your consttu-
ents the metal of which you are made.

goal of these explorers Of the nineteenth cen

Senator Daniel has written letter deny

do say this. and the Dispa ch cannot deny it,
that 1t is everywhere recognized as one Of the

Hill. that 10 the victors belongs the spois.
and his campaign is being run mainly on
that platform. Indeed so much is this the
case that tho present fight for Hill
is looked upon everywhere as fight of the
politicians against the people. Mr. Williams.
therefore, knowing that the Hill element in
Massachusetts,. New York. and everywhere
else where he was familiar with the facts,
was fighting for the spoils. had a perfect right
10 believe that it was the same way in Viz
GINA. and as Senators Barbour and Daniel
were known TO be for Hill he had a perfect
right TO conclude that they were actuated
by the same motives, aud. being public
men. no had n perfect right to express
his suspicious of them if he desired. He was
encouraged in his belief, too. by his large
audience Of Richmond voters. who when he
insinuated his suspicious. not only did not
express disapprobaton. but applauded
loudly and long-in fact spplauding that
part OF his speech more heartily. if anything.
than any other. and il was this applause
which called forth his closing remark. Il

are facts which the Dispatch will have to face

II can hardly DO looked upon as fair war
fare in a party contest for the nomination of
a candidate. for the Hill men. on the eve Of
election. to publish and scatter broadcast
among wOrkingmen charge that Grover
Cleveland. the first Democratic President the
country has seen Tor thirty years, was IN
favor of social equality between whites and
blacks. We have only to say in regard 10
such charge that it is singular that the
country is just finding IL out. In the position
he occupied he had abundant opportunity Of
making example of what he believed in Il he
desired to teach that doctrine.
II is worthy Of note that this information Is
only specially impaired to workingmen. with
the avowed object in view of preiudiclng their
minds against Mr.. Cleveland. Why only to
workingmen? Are they the only people in
terested in the question Of preserving social
distinctions between the races? Hardly.
Yet there is an implication in the act of print
ing an edition of 5000 copies Of the Labor
News containing these groundless charges and
giving them free to all the worlungmen ia the
city that is hardly complimentary 10 honest
laboring men amongst us 1t IS that these
charges would make an impression upon them
that they would not make upon men following
other lines of business in our midst. who are
as fundamentally opposed to social equality
as are workingmen in other words, working
men are treated by them as more easily de-
ceived and, therefore. capable Of having their
minds more easily drawn of from the real
issues of the hour and their judgments per
verted by an appeal to their passions. Does
this do Justice to our workingmen: Are they
the waits of passions fury. incapable Of the
exercise of reason and judgment; We do not
believe it. and we ask that they ayenge the
insult

The Richmond Light Infantry Blues cele-

of them Joined the company later IN the day.
About twenty minutes later the company

II ever there was beaten and baflied party
in this world that party Is the Hill party OF
Virginia. Day by day as the reports OF
county elections come in, announcing either
the choice OF delegates instructed outright
for Cleveland or known 10 be favorable 10
him. the HiIlites become more and moro des-
perate. and founder about in their despair
more and more helplessy. First, they were
driven from their position for Hill and hiii
alone into being anti Cleveandites, or, IN
other words. in favor Of Hill or any one else
who could beat Cleveland. Then they TEL
back on the very weak position Of favoring
"uninstructed" delegations. until now they
pteousy appeal 10 the convention iol any
thing except positive direction TO the State
delegation to Chicago TO vote for Cleveland
30 that they may derive what poor comfort
they can from being able to say they were
not puJLicly whipped and then spanked
Tar TIMrs is also in favor Of an unin-
structed delegation. but II doesn't mean by
that that it is in favor Of delegation out
wardy uninstructed. but in reality appointed
with the secret understanding that they work

tain man. That is deception and trickery. What
it fayors is an honest expression OF opinion by
the convention. II the sentiment IS Tor

racy of the STATE. although az liberty to act as
their good sense tells them il IS best for the
party when they arrive upon the field and
can see and understand the real situation
better than could possibly be done at home.
These are the kind Of uninsructed dele
gates The TINES favors and hopes 70 see sent
10 Chicago from Virginia. Moreover we hope
the convention will adopt just such resolu-
tons as we're adopted Monday in Bedford
county published elsewhere in these columns
this morning which declare in favor OF
Tariff Reform. and indorse the administra-
ton Of President Cleveland az lust and wise,
and particularly as being fair to the interests
