Inhaccn Statistics.

We have been somewhat sur-
prised to learn, as we have res
Gently learned, that many persons
even in Virginia are totally in the
dark as to the Importance of the
manufactures of tobacco to the
people of the whole country, and
especially to the people of this
State. We give afew figures: The
tobacco production of the whole
United States is about SOC, OOO,O 900
pounds, of which Virginia and
Kentucky produce more than half.
The value of the Virginia crop
when it it is ready for marketing
is about SIS, SOC, 900, but the value
of the large quantity of tobacco
which is used in making cigars,
cigarettes, chewing tobacco, and
other manufactures of that article,
when added to the above S., $780,
900, would make a grand total that
would astonish those persons who
talk SO glibly in favor of the adops
ton of a governmental policy
which would utterly destroy all the
tobacco interests of Virginia and
overwhelm planters and mannfac-
turers in one common ruin.
In 1892 the United States Gov
rnment collected about $32,O0O,-
900 of internal taxes on cigars,
cheroots, cigarettes, snuff, and
chewing and smoking tobacco.
How could the manufacturers of
those articles stand up under such
a tax. We answer. the govern
ment protected them by levying
countervailing duties upon the i'm
potation of such articles into this
country from European or other
foreign countries. That is to say
the importers of such articles have
to pay the same internal tax upon
manufactured chewing tobacco (let
uessay) and also an import duty.

no constitutional power to levy
customs-dnties tor any other pur-
pose than to obtain the largest poss

HISTORY OF JAMES CITY.

Element had gathered--al believing
the government had given to them
the land they were N. James was
no General and had no authority
to give the land away. Peace
reigned and the negroes became
content with their new homes.
They named the village, after
their benefactor, James City. They
drew up a system of government
elected aldermen. and policemen,
a nd the population increased rapr
lilly. About ten years ago Mr..
James A. Bryan undertook to re-
gain the land, which was and is
now his rightful. legal property.
James City fought the case
through several courts, and finally
theS up RENE Court decided the
question beyond all dispute, that
the land on which James City is
tuit is the legal property OF Mr.,
Bryan. Upon this Mr.. Bryan ems
dedeavored to come to an amicable
settlement with his tenants, but
without success; he offered to allow
every old man and woman, and
every decrepit and feeble person in
the village to remain, unmolested
and free from rent, But this did
not suit the stubborn people. He
issued circular after circular,
counting peaceful terms,b but failed
IN the attempt.

CIeyeland's Policy.
WASHINGTON. AOril

WASHINGTON, April %.
In an interview to,night in e
ference to the financial obligations
of the government President Cleve-
land said:
"The inclination on the part of
the public to accept newspaper re-
ports concerning the intentions OF
those charged with the manage
ment of our national finances seems
to Justify my emphatic contradic-
ton of the statement that the re-
demption Of any kind of Treasury
notes, except in gold, has at any
time been determined upon OR con-
templated by the Secretary of the
Treasury or any other member of
the present administration.
"The President and Cabinet are
absolutely harmonious in the deter
mination to exercise every power
conferred upon them to maintain
the public credit, to keep the pubs
lie faith and to preserve the parity
between gold and silver and be-
tween ell financial obligations of
the government.
"While the law of 1890 forcing
the purchase of a fixed amount OF
silver every mouth provides that
the Secretary of the Treasury, in
bis discretion, may redeem in either
lgold or silver the Treasury notes
given in payment of silver pur-
chase, yet the declaration of the
policy Of the government to mains
tain the parity between the two
metals seems go clearly to regulate
this discretion as to dictate their
redemption in gold.
"Of course perplexities and diff:
hculties have grown ont Of an IN,
fortunate financial policy which We
found in vogue and embarrassment
have arisen from ill-advised fnan,
cial legislation confronting as al
every turn, but with cheerful con-
fdence among the people and
patriotic disposition to 20 operat,
Threatened dangers will be avertee
pending a legislative return to
better and sounder financial plan
aThe strong credit of the coun
try still unimpaired and the goot
sense of our people, which has neye
failed in time of need, are at han.
to save rs from diaster."

their character as citizens but TO
their intelligence likewise.
The colored population of this
section are peacably disposed, but
their action il James City By
openly defying the law and assems
bling IN number of upwards of a
thousand at a given signal at the
approach OF the sheriff to execute
the law shows them as a law defys
lug people. The good people o.
Craven county much preferred an
amicable set Element, as did Nj.
Bryan, and a great deal of time
was granted in hope that such
terms might be reached. but to no
avail, and as a result, they arc
forced to yield Only at tie point OF
the baycnet.
Matters have reached this point
from no desire of the sheriff He
did everything in his power to
avoid it, and when forced upon in
the way it was, he was not only
perfectly justifab.e in what be did
but it was the only curse left open
to him.
The people said at one time, that
while they would not pay rent or
move they would submit to eiecs
ton, but their action whenever the
sheriff went over with a posse plain
ly belied their words. Though they
were polite to the sheriff himself,
their gathering en- masse at the
ringing of a bell, plainly a precons
certed signal (eyen those in this
city dropping their employments
instantly and rushing over to join
the crowd) and then giving the
sherifs deputies to understand that
whoever entered a house would do
so at the peril of his life was as
payable a resistance as was neces-
sary-the violence did not have to
be applied to make it so-and this
action on their part left nothing to
do if b!oodshed was to be avoided
but to come upon them with an
oyerpowering force. - Nea1beqn

The railroad wreck in Illinois
last Saturday morning was the most
appalling and disastrous one that
has occurred for years. A passenger
train consisting of an engine and
six coaches ran into an open switch
and crashed into an oil train of six
cars. The tank cars exploded and
enveloped the passengers in burn
ing sea of oil. Six were killed out
right by the collision and number
burnt to death, while about sixty
others were horribly burned. The
brave engineer stuck to his post
and was burnt to death. Some of
the survivors had their eyes burnt
out. The scenes in the hospital
where the sufferers were taken were
most pathetic and heartrending.
Some prayed to die because their
eyesight was gone, others to be
killed that their agony might end.
The loss to the railroad is heavy,
but that is nothing compared to
the loss of human life and the suf-
fering and Disagreement Of the
survivors. - -

Cleveland and Silver.

President-elect Cleveland is much
exercised over the que1 ION Of the
white metal. He still adheres to
his anti-silver notions and asserts
that another year of the Sherman
law would drive the country into
the boarding up of gold, and a
financial panic would be the inev-
liable result. LET big failures, !"
he says, "start wave of timidity,
and you will see prudent people
everywhere laying up their gold and
unloading silver. European gov
ernments are eager to buy all the
gold they can lay their hands on,
and American securities are selling
in Europe to-day for the purchase
of gold" Mr.. Cleveland's attitude
on the silver question must be a
thorn in the flesh to the pro-silver
democrats who supported him in
the last campaign. Possibly they
had an idea that he had learned
something in eight years, or that
he would at least take the advice of
those who were, fully informed
about the merits of the silver ques-
ton, bpt to their sorrow they find
that he is just as obstinate as ever
in his incorrect views of the all inn
portant question. To him silver is
commodity, possessing no money
quality, and nothing can, or ever
will, alter his opinion. Bulldog
tenacity is one of the uppermost
traits in the character Of the Presi-
dent-elect, and he will war against
silver until hi freezes over.
