formation to the Waterman, aud the
chances are the distinguished visitor

his engagement had it not been for the
fact that an ubiquitous newspaper man
came along just then and addressed
Mr.. Stevenson as ''Mr. Vice President"
whereupon the truth dawned upon the
Waterman, and he opened the doors to

Drofuse apologies. He is new man,

The SWEETEST WAY TO EAT BANAN-
As.-An amusing scene WIS witnessed
on 10Th street yesterday by number
OF ladies and gentlemen, all of whom as
they passed by had officially to sup
press real hearty old Virginia laugh.

beau, while casting loving glauces at
each other aud seemingly under the
complete domination Of Cupid, APP
preached confectionery establishment
and eyed bunch of bananas as though
it was foreign oddit.T introduced into
this country for the f,st time. Finally
the gentleman purchased one, gently
removed the outer covering, revealing
the toothsome fruit within, handed it
to his sweetheart who took ''bite"
aud passed it back to him when he did
likewise. The banana kept moving
from mouth to mouth until it was COO
sumed. They thee removed themselves
a few doors below to another establish
ment of the SAME character, purchased
another banana and also stick of
candy, both of which underwent the
same process of passiog backward aud
forth, first one then the other biting off
a piece until the stick OF candy aud ba-
mana were entirely removed from the
sight of the giggling spectators. Gu
pid's victims then proceeded leisurely
down the street, eyeing those who were
making Iun of them. with an express
sion of countenance that seemed to

the others are untrue.

chairman of the House ways and means
committee, will see to it that, in the

port. the protective tax on soft coal
shall be retained. AS Mr.. Wilson Is q
democrat, and as the national demo-
cratic platform declares that protec-
tive tariffs unconstitutional, as it is, the
truth of the assertion referred to is not
credited by democrats. The reten-
ton of the tax on bituminous coal
would not be popular even in Mr.. Viii

not increased the wages of the coal

1T Is reported that an effort will be
made during the next session of the
Legislature TO provide for increased
means by which the tide of immigra-
ton to this country may be turned to-
ward Virginia. OF course increased
means implies increased expenditures.
Immigration is a risky business, and the
proposed increased expenditure to OBJ
tain it is of doubtful benefit. Worthy,
industrious and thrifty immigrants
woull be of great advantage to the
State: but immigration agents, as a
rule, are more iotent upon obtaining

After the GAZErTE's report of the Senate
proc edings closed yesterday the debate was
continued by Mr.. Power, OF Montana, in OF
position t the silver repeal bill, and by Mr..
Palmer, OF illinois, in its advocacy. Senator
Palmer declared that all the money Of the
country now rested on a gold basis, and the
only thing that kept silver dollar or silver
certificate at par was the knowledge that the
government would redeem the silver in gold
on demand. At the close of Mr.. Palmer's

there were not ten Senators who were actual

To DlsINTEREsTED and unprecedented
people, at home as well as abroad the
present deadlock in the IS. Senate
seems to be an inexplicable ard gro
tesoue absurdity. Why five or six
Senators, personally interested in the
production of silver, should be allowed
to DELAY action on bill to stop the
purchase of that metal by the govern
ment, appears to such people utterly
unreasonable. They can't, for the life
of them, understand why, if the sena-
tors from the silver producing States
can force the government to buy the
surplus product of their States, those
from the cotton, or the rice, or the to-
bacco producing States have not the
same right to compel the government
to alio. d those States ready and high
market for their surplus products. But
unreasonable congressional proceedings
have long since ceased to excite special
wonder.
