The breckenridge Case.

There is the ring of true chiyalry in
the declaration Of Mr.. BRoNsroS that he
will withdraw from his candidacy for
Congress until Colonel BRECKENRIDGE
has had an opportunity to clear himself
OF the cloud which hangs over him. II
will never so to Congress If ! have to go
over BaEoKIsRiDoE's dead body" he is
reported to have said. And Geographic
dispatches say further that other candi-
dates will probably take the same
position.

VIRGINIA AND CHICAGO.
A Suggestion from, Our Worlds Fair
Managers as to Excursions.

A Suggestion from, Our Worlds Fair
Managers as to Excursions.
To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Enclosed find paper sent TO each
railroad In the State and also TO Boards
OF Trade and Chambers OF Commerce.
With the help OF the Press in the
State we think the suggestion might be
carried out, and good results follow.
Respectfully.
JNO s. APPERSON,
Executive Business Commissioner.
September 4. 1893.
Dear sir:-With an intense desire that
Virginia should derive every possible
benefit from this gathering at the Worlds
Fair. and seeing how active most other
sections are in getting prominent, influ-
entail and representative men to visit
them and make personal inspection OF
their resources, we write TO ask IL II Is
not possible for the railroads in Virginia
TO get up and conduct an excursion for
n similar purpose for the State. Octo-
her I'm Virginia is the finest month I'm the
year. The last week in September or the
first In October would give, we think,
ample time for preparation. week or
ten days for the trip would give day
each IN HlCnmOnu, NEWPORT NEWS, NOT
folk and Roanoke and two or three more
for the iron and coal fields Of Virginia
and West Virginia.
We make the suggestion believing It to
be worthy OF consideration by the differ
ent railroads of the State, or II the sug-
gestion is not new. to promise whatever
aid we can give and to the fullest extent
our cooperation in the matter. Without
help from the railroads in the State OF
course nothing Of the kind can be done.
and the State will not reap the benefits she
soud reap from this immense gathering
here. and to which her resources, location
and natural advantages entitle her. We
can be Of service nj this point In seeing
that proper people are invited-people
whose influence and acqualntanc with the
resources of the State will be useful in
future.
Very Respectfully
JNO. s. APPERSON,
Executive Business Commissioner.

Tanning Hides.

Col. MILLER, the Prohibition candi-
date for Governor Of Virginia, said IN
his speech accepting the nomination,
that he was ready TO meet Col. OYER
RAIL- npon the stump, and added, "t L
don't tan bis hide it amt worth tan
ming" The Prohibitionist candidate
may be an expert in tanning hides, but we
nredict that il he ever undertakes to tan
Col. O'FERRALL's, he will always after
wards be known as a man who went out
to shear and came home shorn, or as
the soldier that caught n Tartar who
wouldn't let him go back to his own
side of the battlefield.
The fact is, Colonel O'FERRALh could
make nothing for his party by consent
ing 10 discuss with the Prohibition nom
inee questions which are not involved in
tho present campaign. The Prohibi-
tionists cannot but be the allies CT The
Republicans and the Populists for
nearly oil the votes that Colonel MILLER
will get will come from the Democratic
party, and would strengthen us to the
extent of the Prohibltionists' strength in
the election of November next. 80
Colonel MILLER can very well afford to
issue TO all the world the challenge
"Wnoever doth those boots displace
Must meet BOmbastes face TO face"
Therefore, we repeat, Colonel OFFER
RAIL- ought not TO go into the business of
tanning Prohibition hides this fall. The
Prohibitionists are too fond of "wind-
pudding" 10 be deferred from speech
making by the fear Of being exposed
upon the stump. They are goodpeople
but they are not content to be good
themselves. They would make men
good by law To borrow DR.. JETER's
words in speaking on another subject,
we say to Col. O'FERRALh that it would
be an exceedingly Improbable discus
sion which any Democrat could engage
in upon the invitation of the Prohibi-
ZIONIST speakers, who. if they have no
ideas to advance will substitute words,
and if they have no words will manufac-
ture them.
We have none but kind feelings to-
wards the Prohibitionists but we
cannot consent to be a party to any
arrangement for speaking in which the
solid, substantial, tax-paying whites OF
Virginia would figure as "allies OF the
rum power" We are familiar with
Prohibition catch-phrases--a "slang" il
YOU like the latter word better than the
former; and We do not intend to be
made victim of such language as the
extremists among the Prohibitionists
have always at the end of their tongues
We suggest that if the Prohibitionists
desire to engage in the debate upon the
stump the Populists are the men whom
they should "tackle." The Democrats
expect to carry Virginia next November
by fifty thousand majority, more or less.
They cannot be expected to waste their
strength in kicking at nothing.
And all this We say, we repeat, with
none other than kindly feelings toward
the Prohibitionists.

Reduce the Rents.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch:
In times like the present, when all classes
are affected by reduction of salaries
and lowering of wages, our landlords and
their agents should lend their aid In
reduction OF rent. Good tenants are de-
slrable, and 10 be forced to move is n
hardship. A reduction Of rent would en-
able them TO hold their homes, and at
the same time, give the agent less trouble
than to secure a new one. Our eastern
and western sections are building up very
fast. but the residences are such as to
prevent the laboring classes from occupy
