In 1854 Commodore Ingraham was
paid this distinction for his gallant

illegal seizure and imprisonment ON
board an Austrian brig of war.

wreck in gale, and at the close of
the war Admiral Farragut received a
very tlattering vote of thanks for his

case of Capt. Ingraham, Capt. Dahl

OF congress have invariably been ten

first case. Capt. Ingraham prepared
a ship for action and prepared to
fight his way for the surrender of an
American citizen. Capt. Ringgold
also rescued the crew of a sinking
ship. Capt. Dahlgren received the
thanks of congress for the invention
of a new method of casting guns
which vastly improved naval ord
nance.

Platform or No PLATFORM

Those persons who fondly imagine that
the Democrats of Virginia will have n
"walkover next fall will find themselves
wofully mistaken when the votes are
counted If condition OK apathy in the
Democratic ranks shall have resulted from
too-conhdent expectation of success.
Again: The State convention will pro-
baby lay down platform. The Lynch
burg Adra,.ce says that the Roanoke World
propounds certain interrogstions 10 the
DIspATCH, the Danville Register. and the
Lvnchburg Adpdnce relative to the plat
form which should be adopted by the
State convention. These interrogations
escaped our attention. The Adrance says
that lii its opinion a simple declaration of
confidence IN the administration and of
Endorsement OF tho Chicago platform
would 100 wise and timely. Tho de-
claration of confidence in the adj
miuistration would probably receive
every vote in the convention. But
IN the opinion Of the President If coupled
with declaration endorsing the plank of
the Chicago platform, which plank he
knows, and everybody else knows, IL by
half the Democrats construed 70 be a
declaration in favor of the tree coinage OF
silver. and by the other half to be decla-
ration against the free coinage Of silver.
We have always held it to be the lat
ter. but q number Of our Virginia ex-
changes and numerous papers all over the
South, including the Atlanta Constitution.

The Extra Session.

lnasmuch as the President of the United
States has not yet ISSUED call Tor an
extra session of Congress il may be that 1t
Is not too late TO ask him to call that body
to meet IN August instead of September.
If Congress can set things upon their feet
again the sooner II begins the good work
the better. Mr. HALsIEAD's paper fore
casts the future of silver as follows-that
IL. in case the SHERMAN silver law is re-
pealed. We quote:
Upon the disconiinuance Of silver purchases
by the United States Treasury silver bullion
would seek a market I'm Europe and the finances
OF those countries would lie brought face 20 face
with the very question which the United siates
is now ondsavoring to solve.

Yes; the Peoples party NAV adopt any
platform whatever, and 1t will be I" natu-
raj" for the masses of the Republicans "
10 support that party. The Democrats.
however. though they must not be too
confident of success, will outvote the COM
bined Republican and Populist parties.
We warn our friends only against too much
confidence. The Democratic party Is

This or some similar remark was made
some years ago by one of Vlrginia's most
distinguished orators.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1893-06-17

in tho signs OF the times the Virginia
Democrats are gong TO have o hard road 10
trave, this fail; aud II afYirms. speaking
no doubt for tho Republicans as we'll "a
the Populists. that the opposition shows
indications Of Capitalization and deter
mined purpose to wrest the State govern
ment from the party now dominant" The
seeds OF disssnsion are scattered oil over
the State by our opponents. The fact that
80 many officials OF one sort and another
are to be elected by tho Legislature TO be
chosen in November will enable the Popu-
lists and their allies to tempt many
Democrat TO ronounce his allegiance TO
the Democratic party and cast his lot in
1893. rs 40 many Democrats did IN 1873,
with the enemies of the Democratic party
the real Peoples party.
We submit. therefore. that the Demo-
cratic State Convention ought to lay down
& plaiform--not an ambiguous one, but
one declaring in plain terms what We are
fighting for. Let us not be doable-toncued
on any subject, but declare plainly and
Enthusiastically what we ara for and what
we oppose; for example, that we are IN
favor of the free coinage OF silver. or else
that we are against it. And 80 as TO every
plank In the Democratic platform.

The DISPATCH should sti1en up its backbone

For the present it would probably be
wiser to add county after county to the

in good time we would thus have all the

Mr.. Hale's New Pension Scheme.


EDwsRp EVERETT HALE advocates new
pension scheme, as follows:
FOR instance, A is A. years old and receives
pepslon OF s25 per quarter. II he is In fair
health be ls expected TO live 70 the age oil %
years. should he do so tho government VIII
have paid him In the twenty years $4,000. But,
instead o. that, the government says to him.
Mr. A, II you will give us receipt in full for all
pension claims against us for ali time we Will
pay you 81, 800 cssh IN hand Mr.. perhaps
knows where he can invest that 81 800 In way
that II vii, yield him a larger income than no
annually receives from tho government; the
government saves $500 by the Transaction, ana
hence both parties are the gamers and are bet
tor satisfied"
This is q plausible scheme, but it would
not work o. Mr.. Hale hopes 1t would. On
/ the contrary, the old soldiers-the most
improvident of people would soon spend
their allowance. and. having spent 1t,
would return to Washington in search OF
the lost pension. And they would get It,.
The appeals Of the men who saved the
nation" could not be resisted. Democrats
| and Republicans would join in promoting
| every pension scheme And 80 the last
end of the pension system would be worse
| than the first. Let the pension-roH DC
