AnExplosion Possible.

The amusing remarks which an old Vir-
gilman ia said to have made the other day
10 JOEL CHANDLER HARRIS. of Georgia, were
intended by Mr.. HARRIS to beread between
the lines. MIR. CLEVELAND cares no more
for party than for a herdic Of beer-drink-
ers," said the old vireinisn. You ought
to have seen tho Congressman get to
cover" when he told them what he want
ed done with the silver repeal bill. And
so on.
Now, these statements indicate that it
Is the belief in Washington that Mr..
CLEVELAND may push too far his pertina-
cious efforts to secure the repeal Of the
SHERMAN silver law, and that an "explo-
sion" is possible. 1t would be more than
ANDREW JACKSON could have done in his
day, if Mr.. CLEVELAND could induce the
House of Representatives to drop the bill
abolishing all Federal laws interfering
with State elections, and SIT idle until
the Senate had repealed the SHERMAN sill
yer law; or if he could induce the House.
Of Representatives to let the tariff bill
alone for the same reason.
We mention these reports as they come
10 US from Washington. But. as Mr.
HAlRIs's old yirglnian sand, Mr.. CLEyE-
LIND would face the same way all
The time if you were to put him

There is a screw loose somewhere when
as much typhoid fever prevails IN Guy
as has prevailed In stanton during the
past two summers. 1t Is true that II mas
been mostly OF a mild type, but TINS
should not lead us to be indifferent
about it-StauntOn News.
At one time this summer we had great
number of cases of typhoid fever here IN
Richmond, but upon the whole the city
has been healthier this summer than for
many years past.
Had this been a year when a great
many streets were dug up for the purpose
of laying in them sewers or Gas or water
pipes. without doubt the fever would
have been attributed by many persons
TO the exposure Of much fresh earth. AS
IT is we know not what to charge 1t TO-
unless to the unusual activity we have
shown I'm cleaning our back-lots, cellars
alleys and streets. Nor will even that
very well account for it, for in many or
the upper counties the fever has prevail
ed more extensively than in Richmond or
StauntOn.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
on Saturday, the 9th inst. l came to the
city from Culpeper. My wife. accompan-
led me. Upon taking the Chesapeake and
Ohio train at Gordonsville. about p. NJ,
We were coolly told to take the smoking
car-second class accommodation for first
class tickets. The smOking-car was full
gentlemen. ladies' and negroes. 1t was
uncomfortable and dirty.
Having found my wife a seat by the
side Of a lady, took one By the side
OF a burly and insolent negro. Two ne
groes sat in front of me. Under my feet
I found a bundle, about the size Of a
small trunk. and as my neghbor said it
was not his. | requested the conductor
to have II removed. This he did not do.
saying the negroes would soon get out,
which they did not do. \ Confederate
veteran soon vacated a seat In our favor.
When the two negroes in front of me
got out l found that one OF them owned
the bundle under my feet. He had thus
been allowed to occupy two seats In a
crowded car.
The burly negro sprawled on his seat
all the way to Richmond. Ladies were
getting in at the different stations. but
no attempt was made to dlspossess him.
When we arrived in Richmond this fell
low picked up his bundle. which had all
this time been under the feet OF a crippled
confederate soldier in front of me. He
had occupied three seats i'm a crowded
car. Moreover, before we got TO the CITY
a negro woman got on with large bundle
ana bag about the size of small feath-
err bed. This she deposited in the
aisle. The conductor made no objection
to these proceedings

Tho Rank of England's Rate.

on Thursday last the Bank OF England
reduced the rate of interest upon money
from per cent to q. This Is
good sign 1t indicates belief upon the
part Of It's governors that money Is to
be easy" Now let Congress proceed to
do whatever that body can do to promote
the good cause OF lifting the weight which
rests upon the breast Of the commercial
world, and all will be WELL or at least
may be well.

Sherman silver law would be Guack
remedy the reply of Mr.. Faulkner covers
the case. Quack remedies are as good as
any IL by aid of faith" they cure the
patient We doubt not that there are
many congressman who hold that the
raising Of the rate OF interest in London
as a means of preventing the outflow OF
gold from that country Is quack
remedy. But all the same the Bank or
England, after abundant experience, Is
firm in the belief that the remedy Is an
effectual one.

The Virpinian and Haiti.

The ministerial career of Harry NJ.
Smythe. Esq. late editor OF the Graham
sva) Headlight who has been appointed
90 represent this country in Haiti will
be watched with interest. He is a white
man. SOutherner and a Nirginian, who
GOES TO represent our government at the
"court" Of a black republic. His eXpe-
ficnces there will no doubt be novel and
Interesting but may not always be free
from embarrassment.
Personally. we fancy Mr.. Smythe
will not care to attend the state din
ners and other august social functions
where the blacks will appear in swallow
tailed coats on perfect equality with the
whites: but as diplomat, charged with
grave duties and serious responsibilities,
we take II for granted that he Is prepared
20 accommodate himself TO the conditions
Inyironing his Office. All CT nearly all OF
me members OF the diplomatic corps
resident at Port au Prince are whites, and
MIR. smythe viii find good company in
them.
Hitherto. at least for many years back.
the United STAGES government has sent
colored men 20 represent 1t at Haiti,
but II does not appear that these have
been signaly successful On the contrary
an examination OF the record of their ser
vice determined the present administration
in the opinion that our country's interests
require that the Office should be bestowed
upon white man. Mr.. Snythe had been
APPOINTED as consul 20 Foochow, China.
when this conclusion was arrived at. and
he was selected as the very man needed.
We are not well-informed rs 10 the quail
ity OF Mr.. Smythe's French accent.
but We have heard him express himself
In vigorous English. and we know that
he Was sagacious editor and helpful
party man. We therefore entertain no
looubt Of HIS ability TO I'll the position ac-
eevtably IL he can but steer clear OF
social meshes. He is a man OF stately
hgure aud fine sense. and is sure 20 make
good impression from the start, which

but may not be conducive 10 his personal
happiness should 1t lead TO too many IN

The President and Compromise.

The President told Senator Villas last
week:
"Thcre is no truth in any rumor or re-
port of a compromise. You may deny all
such most emphatically. and know that
Won are telling the truth. There will be
no compromise This repeal bill must
pass without condition. "-Cincirnati Com
mercial.
Mr.. Cleveland means, OF course, that he
will sign no repeal bin providing for the
free coinage Of silver-not that he would
not approve a different kind Of compro-
mise bill. We DO not wonder at his anxiety
to see accomplished the one object Tor
which he convened Congress in extra
session. The failure to secure the object
would subject him to the charge OF nav
ing called Congress together at the
wrong time, and without having learned
how that body stood affected towards
the one measure which he wished 1t to
adopt.

Friend to Depositors.

Hon. JEFF CHANDLER, of New York, for
merly of Missouri. is one Of the speakers.
who are expected to take part in the fail
campaign in Virginia. Dir. CHANDLER is
the author of the proposal to provide by
law for the protection of depositers IN the
national or other banks. He would levy a
small tax upon the banks or the deposit
tors, or upon both, to provide fund for
redeeming the circulating notes of the
few banks which might fail to secure their
deposltors against loss. If he succeeds
in this undertaking; be will merit q mon
ument lasting as brass, at the hands of his
countrynen and all Christendom. Either
the banks or the depositors could afford
to pay such tax. 1t wonld render i'm
possible all evil financial arrangements as
the country is now suffering under.

The Ten Per Cent Tax.

In its circular Of last week, Baltimore
banking house INDUCES IN the following
sensible remarks:
The National bank circulation is so Sc
cure and universally acceptable. that the
people will never be satisfied with any
bank issue not equally well-secured. A
repeal of the State bank-note tax need not
alarm any one. 1t would be imperative
unless accompanied with such restrictions
and securities az will satisfy the people
that the notes of any bank and oil banks
were equally good and above suspicion.
I'VE strongly favor Government super
vision of the banks under any circum-
stances, and consider that no banking
system can succeed which has not the guar
antee of the Government behind it,
The question of the best manner Of pro-
tectlng depositors ought also to be con-
sidered in this connection. The one weak
place in the National bank system is the
failure to provide for the safe return of all
deposits. 1t would largely increase the
usefulness Of the banks, and put an end to
panics, if this desirable feature could be
added to our present excellent banking
system. Thousands and hundreds OF
thousands of dollars would go to the
banks which now go into stockings and
other such places of supposed security.
