Sinrnl ar Statements.

According to the New York Tribune n ma
iority of the Democrats in each house of
Congress are opposed to the repeal of the
SHERMAN law, and If it is repealed 1t will
be repealed by a Republican majority act
ing with q Democratic minority. The
same paper SAYS that part of the State
bank advocates will vote against uncondi-
tional repeal.
These facts indicate that Mr.. CLEVELAND
knew what he was saying when he de-
clared that the proposed silver legislation
rises far above all questions of party
politics" The state of things now pre-
valling in Congress is. we might say, I'M
precedented. Two things it has proved
beyond possibility of doubt. and these
are-frst. that President serving his
second term does not have the influence
over congressman possessed by PresI-
dent serving his first term; and second,
that Mr.. CLEVELAND will not be candi-
date for third term. We do not know
that he ever saw the day when he was
willing to run for third term; but if he
was ever willing he is not willing now.
The state of his health forbids all eXpec-
tation of that sort. But healthy or I'M
healthy. he would give a great deal to
have his party stand by him on the fnan-
cial question.

tCabIed by Central News Agency to the Dis
patch.l
BOMBAY. August 1G.-The religious race
rioting was resumed In this city to-day,
and for several hours the streets were
scenes of Desperate conflicts. The fight
ing was of tho most sanguinary nature,
and largo number of persons were
killed and injured. To-day being Hin
doc holiday, the authorities anticipated
a renewal of the recent disturbances and
were in q measure prepared to suppress
an outbreak, but the police and the force
of troops IN the garrison were inadequate
to cover the whole city, and before quiet
had been restored in one district fresh out;
breaks would occur in other parts OF
the city. The rage of the mob was
directed especially against the mosques,
several of which were sacked and burned;
All the cubic buildings are now guarded
low troops. and the gunooats IN the harOor
have been cleared TOR action and brought
into position TO cover the native quar-
tiers. The local authorities are confident
of being able ultimately to quell the rising.

The President and the Platform.

We assure the Lynchburg Adrdnce that
we are not at all uneasy as TO whether the
Democratic State Convention will ADOPT q
platform or not. OF all the papers in Viz
ginia the DISPATCH is the least troubled by
platforms. The convention may discourse
as oracularly as the Chicago convention,
and nobody DO able to discover the mean
ing of ITS utterances, and yet not disturb
o Democrat who cares naught for a state
ment of creeds which does not convey
the meaning of such statement to
the mind of the hearer or reader.
We would fain hope that the State
Convention will not antagonIze Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND. He has told US in words and by ac-
tons what tho Chicago platform means a.
to the silver question. If the Virginia
Convention shall choose TO reaffirn that
silver plank, with q full knowledge that
il means that silver ought MT to be coined
free, so be it. We understand the plank
in question to have been laid down merely
to secure both free-silver and anti-silver
votes But nobody can pretend now that
it is a pro-silver plank. Whoever endorses
it now endorses it with the meaning the
President has put upon it. There Is now
no room for Misunderstanding it.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1893-08-17
The Alliance.

We have been disposed to regard the
State Farmers Alliance as independent of
both the old parties. 1t sets up that claim
for ITSELF and tho fact that several ALI
ance men are delegates to the Democratic
State Convention would seem to give &C
surance that the claim is well founded.
But all Virginians are politicians, and the
Alliance men are Vrginians. They there
fore at their annual meeting on Tuesday
last unanimously adopted paper on the
subject of the present financial condition
of the country. This paper may have
some influence with our congressman,
coming, as it claims to come. from the
farmers of Virginia. and may also cause
the Democratic State Convention to DO
cautious in its utterances on financial
questions-as cautious indeed as was the
Chicago convention Of last year in making
a currency platform for the Democrats of
the United States to stand upon.
However, il is 10 DO said for the Alliance
iren what we would fain hope may be said
toreafter of the Virginia Democrats now
n convention assembled. that they left no
room for doubt as TO whether they are on
one side or the other of the silver
Ga tion. The platform or currency reso-
hiion Of the Alliance declares in unam-
D uous language against the repeal of the
SsvAs law unless there shall DO en-
led in the repeating bill provision for
" zee and unlimited coinage" of silver at

Facts Worth Remembering.

The following remarks OF Baltimore
expert are worth reading:
"A man Of business who helps to mako the
wheels so round" knows that 1t Is the quality
and not the quantity of the currency of the
nation which counts and that We cannot have
prosperity with a discreditod and deprecated
curl ency In existence"
"If we had a wall built arouno tho country
and traded only with our own people and did not
care TO attract foreign capital, We might adopt
local currency for our special zse, bat II we are
70 maintain our position IS one OF the great ma
tons Of the world, and II We deslre the employ
mont OF foreign capital in cur enterprises ana
Industries ws must adjust our currency to tho
recognized basis Of tho other great nations Of
the world"

Baby CitV Bonds.

We like the idea of the city OF Richmond
issuing SIS bonds" baby bonds" so to
speak.
There should be an issue of this descrip-
ton to run for long series OF years, and
laboring-men and small capitalists gene
rally would quickly find in them convent
emit and reliable forms OF investment. The
city. too, would be benefited in having an
additional number of persons to take
especial interest In her affairs.
The holder OF every city bond. large or
small, has such an interest in the city's
welfare as q stakeholder has in an indus
trial corporation.
Give us the baby bonds" and they will
become popular.

A Humble Christian.

Some very good Christians fail to
carry ont the scriptural injunction of
turning the other cheek. When they
are reviled they revile back with con-
siderable bitterness. An old negro
named Uncle Naceskeeps little fruit
stand on Austin avenue. He is a dea-
con in the Austin Blue Light taber-
nacle, and when camp-meetings are
epidemic his voice can be heard SO
plainly by the inmates of the deaf and
dumb asylum on the opposite bank OF
the Colorado river, two miles distant,
that they suffer from insomnia. Ap-
proching Uncle Nace's fruit stand
Gilhooly said:
"Do YOU believe in the Bible, Uncle
Nace?"
sIse been humble follerer OBJ de
Lawd more den fifty yeahs, sab.
eff you believe in the Bible L sup
pose you admit that man is Judged
by his fruits?'
"Certainly,
eff men are judged by their fruits,
what kind of a,man art thou?" asked
Gilhooly, picking up an orange on the
lower side of which was a large decay
ed spot, to which he called the old
mans attention. :.
The kick this humble praying old
Christian discharged at Gilhooly made
a hole in the awning five feet over his
head, and the language he used would
have done credit to a deputy sheriff.
