The Virginia Republicans.

The republican State committee, Of
which General Malone is chairman,
met in the basement of the Generals
residence in Petersburg, shortly after 9
o'clock Saturday night, and were in
session till Sunday morning. There
were fifteen members of the committee
in attendance with twenty represented
BY proxies, The committee was called
to order by General Malone, and the
meeting was conducted with the utmost
secrecy. The committee was addressed
by General Malone, who spoke for
over one hour in opposition to the re-
publican party of Virginia forming any
coalition with the populists in the State
election next fall. The decision of the
committee was that they would not call
a convention to nominate State ticket,
but would leave the party free to act
as in theirjudgment they might think
best
From the remarks made by Gen. Ma
hone and the members of the commit
tee, it was apparent that they were OPP
posed to the republican party of the
State forming any sort of alliance with
the populists in the fall elections. The
members of the committee are not dis
posed TO talk much about what trans
pred in the meeting. The State conf
mittee is composed of three members
from each district in the State, and all
but the ninth was represented either in
person or by proxy. There were two
or three colored members of the COM
mittee in attendance.

MONDAY EVENING, AUG, IA, 1898.

OF COURSE the people of the soutn
want good money, and such as will pass
ot its face value wherever they may
take it, but why some of their repre-
septatiyes in Congress should be es-
pecially solicitous about the character
of the national currency, is not easily
told. as in respect of other matters they
are not noted for their absorbing IN
terest in national affairs. The South
never had surplus of currency put
once. and then it was curse rathef
than a blessing, and its existing search
tv is therefore by no means unusual
and is not causing her people mucn
trouble. The people of the North are
the chief sufferers. 1t is in that section
that banks are breaking and factories
closing, and where the unemployed are
becoming clamorous, and as the trouble
is the legitimate result of northern leg
islation, northern congressman are 10
blame for it, and they are the ones who
should be chiefly interested in the work
of relieving their constituents.

THERE rs no good reason why the
banks should not be allowed currency
to the full amount of the par value OF
the bonds they have deposited in the
Treasury, which bonds sell at premi-
UNI: but to increase the public debt,
twenty-eight years after the war, by
issuing bonds in order to raise gold,
would be a feather in the cap of no adj
ministration, and would be especially
injurious to one elected by the demo-
cratic party.

Mrs. Collin FoUND.-NIrs. j. w.
Coffin, who disappeared from Char
lottesville so mysteriously July oath,
and of whom no trace was found for
nearly four weeks, has been located in
Baltimore. Her husband has received
a letter from her dated that city, but
giving no street number or reference to
her stopping place in that city. The
letter gave evidence of deep regret
for the step she had taken, and determi-
nation to come home. Among other
things she said: II know you will
never forgive me, but if you will not be
angry with me and want me | will come
home again. I am at work with a
dressmaker, and am getting $3.50 per
week"
She made request that the news
papers be prevented from getting any
further. information about her Mr..
Coffin wrote at once to his wife, ac-
dressing the letter to the general de-
livery, asking her toreturn, and pre-
missing his full and free forgiveness.
His son, Mr.. E. ]. Coffin. left at once
for Baltimore, and will make every eff
fort to locate the whereabouts of his
mother. Mr.. Coffin still believes that
his wife's mind is affected, and is doing
all in his power to bring her back to
the influence of home and family. Dir.
Coffin asserts positively that he does
not yet know why his wife left, and
that he has never had the slightest
idea of her whereabouts until he re-
ceived the above letter. The mystery,
except as to her being in Baltimore, is
as great as ever.

LIGHT ON dark subject is evidently
breaking in upon the North. Mr.. Tenn

ture in Chatauqua, n. Y, last week in
favor of setting apart enough territory
in the West for the establishment of a
negro State, in which he said: 1.-The
edict has gone forth that this is white
mans government and it will remain
so forever, for God Almighty has
stamped his seal and sign of sovereign

THE New YORK Times, the leading
organ of the mugwumps and anti-snap-
pers, says the Cleveland managers at
the Chicago convention did not want
the revenue tariff plank in the national
democratic platform, did not believe in
it, and voted for it only because they
thought that by doing otherwise they
might injure the chances of their ia
vorite. The worst Of this statement is,
that the long delay even in the initia-
ton of any measure intended to remove
the burdens imposed by the Mckinley
bill tends greatly to sustain the truth
thereof, and thereby to induce the ma
tjority of the people of the country to
believe that they have been deceived.

No More City Bonds.

'Let our children bear the burden" is
iavorite expression used by those who
advocate an issue of street improve
mcnt bonds. Our oldest citizens were
children, and those who are now in the
prime of manhood were unborn when
their fathers placed burden in posi-
ton to catch the shoulders of coming
generations. The generations came
and grew in good shape until their
shoulders reached the weight. They
continued to grow, but the weight re-
fused to yield ; their young backs be-
came tired and sore to such degree as
to cause them to cry for relief. After
suffering much pain Some are still
round shouldered and dwarfed) par
tial relief was granted them by the
"bloated bondholder." They are now
improving in statue and physique and
give promise of being models of man
hood. But few so-calied hustlers are
not happy. They desire 10 place their pre-.
geny under the same load that deformed
them they tell us that the late war
crippled US and that this and that work
ed against us, and that we will not have
the same troubles over again. What
milklings! Something is bound to hap
pen in the future as surely as in the
past. A good business man will not
borrow every cent he can on piece of
property and then bequeath the mort
gage to his beloved son. We are in ia
Vor of solid paved streets and we think
that we can get them in the course of
ten years by using the money that
would go to the bondholders in the
shape of interest-if we borrow. Ex-
pensive and elegantly paved streets,
like those in Washington, means Ugh
er rents, and higher rents will drive the
manufacturer from our city, because if
the workmen cannot rent a house here
at the same rate that prevails in Balti
more, he cannot work for the same
wages. The result will be that the
manufacturer will go where wares can
be manufactured for the least money.
Give us fair assessment of property, a
low rate of taxation,a good and econom-
ical city government and corpora
ton free from debt. Then the solid
business man mot speculator) will seek
home here and help to make this q
bee hive-not fairy land. r.

The DIFFERENTIATION of the republi-
can party of this State TO nominate no
State ticket for the fall election is only
what was expected. 1t means, OF
course, that the republicans will vote
for the populists' candidates, upon the
ground that by doing so they will assist
those who are fighting their enemies,
and be acting in accordance with the
policy of Senator Sherman, that any
thing is justiliable in law and morals
that will beat down the democratic par
ty. With therepublicans and populists
combined against them, it behooves the
democrats to nominate a ticket that
will be Objectionable to none of the
members of their party, and that will
command the earnest support of every
democrat in the State.

A REPUBLICAN newspaper says the
proposition to coin Immediately al! the
silver bullion in the Treasury and add
the resulting fifty million seigniorage
to the currency, as a means of improv-
ing the existing financial condition,
will probably not be adopted by Secre-
tary Carlisle, as it "was suggested by
ex-secretary Tracy, republican" Oh,
no. The proposition will hardly be
adopted, to be sure, but for no such
reason as that referred to. The true
reason. as has been stated, and is well
known to every body except the editor
of the paper alluded to, is thatit would
take five years to coin all the silver
bullion now in the Treasury and an
addition of ten million year to the
currency would be utterly Insignificant.

sisting of Pullman Buffet Sleeping Cars,
Reclining Chair Cars (seatS free and
magnificent Day Coaches, which are in
daily operation. The trip via ST. Louis,
