Two Sub-Post-Othces.

When first the Dispatch began 10 asi'
tate the question Of securing the es'ao'
lishmeut here Of sub post-otiices or postal
stations We had no thought OF asking loi
more than two, but upon examination o.
tho list Of "free-leivery offices with pos
tal-stations" We found that several clles
Of loss importance than Richmond had
as many as three stations. Then 1t oc>
curred to US that We might as well 60
in for our full quota
1t was stated ~ our Washington cor
respondent yesterday that the Post-oince
DEPARTMENT has promised the lion. George
d. Wise To estab ish two stations Ia inns
city. This is very well indeed for be
ginning. After We have fairly tried these
two stations and proved their usefulness
we doubt not that our people Will WISH
for other stations. and that the authori-
ties at Washington Will accord them TO
us.
Postmaster Cullngworth and Mr.. wise
Acre both very prompt to- take hold OF
this matter and to push 1t at Washington;
So the Richmond public are indebted to
them as well as to the Dispatch Tor Sc
curing The promise of these convenien ces-
conyoniences which have long been en-
loved by SO many other cities of our rank.
and which are particularly desirable IN
Richmond on account Of the remoteness
from the city post-oiiice of our East anu
West Ends.
or the two postal-stations TO be estab-
lished here one will certainly so TO the
East End; the other, We should think,
would either go 10 the West End or 70
upper Broad street Ia will be a matter
of no little difficulty for the Postmaster
10 decide between these two neighbor
hoods. If we could have three stations
then one might be located near Monro
Park and the other on Broad street.
It.is rather singular that Richmonc
should have been all these years without
postal-stations, while Charleston Nash
VILE, etc, had them. Our attention was
called 10 the injustice done Richmond BY
the Post-Oiiice Department by member
OF our STAFF who. while on visit L.
Charleston. $. c., had occasion 10 do
business at postal station. lie subse-
quently pressed the matter upon our at
tcntion as showing how In that respect
Richmond was behind Charleston-he
could do business at postal-staiion in
Charleston. but not in Richmond as We
had none.
As we understand the law, all general
business that may be done at a city post
office may be done at these branches or
postal-stations. Their value is not limited
to the sale OF postage-stamps. Oh, no; at
n station you may buy or collect money
orders. may register letters. and have
letters addressed TO YOU etc.

day TO occupy the leading place which
she occupied IN colonial days. In other
words. the control OF the interstate com.
merce OF the several States was put into
the hands OF Congress-. and Virginia was
forbidden to levy any customs-dutiex upon
articles coming within her borders from
the other States OF the Union. This de-
stroyed her foreign trade.
The Nicaragua canal will prove TO be as
potent in building up commerce in the
Atlantic States as the laws Of this Union
have been I'm building up the commerce
Of New York. Massachusetts, and Penn
sylvania. This by the way.
Mr.. Morgan says that just before he
left Washington 10 attend the Blrmlng-
ham convention he had a three-hours'
conversation with the President. In the
course OF the conversation he told the
President he should like TO be able 10
say 10 the convention that he (the Presi-
denD desired this canal to be built. The
President replied: Il very earnestly de-
sire to see II built. and don't know that
| shall have any impediment to offer to
it."
Mr.. Morgan Is confident that the United
States will never have 10 pay dollar
Of the debt. the payment OF which our
government will guarantee in case the
canal-scheme is taken under the protec-
ton Of this country. He tells US that the
Suez canal declares dividends OF p per
cent. annually, and that the stock OF
that company Is worth 100 per cent. OF its
face value And there can be no good
reason for doubling that the Nicaragua
canal will soon develop a commerce
which will at once render the Nicaragua
canal bonds and stocks very valuable.
il not as valuable as the bonds and
stocks of the Suez Canal Company. But
we are concerned only TO save the United
States Government from having to pay
any portion Of the Nicaragua-canal debt.
The guaranty is TO be guaranty Of
bonds carrying only per cent. interest.
There does not seem to be any room for
doubt In such case. IL the Suez Canal
Company pays annual dividends Of % per
cent, surely the Nicaragua Canal Com
pany can be trusted 10 pay an annual
interest Of 3 per cent; and IL Suez stock
Is worth in the Paris bourse 40 per cent.
Of its face value, surely Nicaragua bonds
viii never be worth less than par.
The Nicaragua scheme is not a party
measure. As We have heretofore stated.
both the great national parties are
pledged to its support. Not only so. but
the first report In its favor was signed by
such Republicans as Senators Sherman
Edmunds. Frye. Evarts. and Dolph. and
by such Democrats as Senators Morgan
Brown, Payne. and Eustis. The whole
cost Of this international scheme Is est
mated at from $SS.Co000 TO 500 90
not much more than half the sum
the United States pays annually to its
pensioners. Why should there be- q mo-
ments delay in sending It out 10 the
world under the protection Of Uncle Sam?

The Next Silver Bill.

The Washington Correspondent Of The
Philadelphia Telegraph says that some OF
the sensible Democrats in the House OF
Representatives, including Mr.. kilgore
OF Texas, have concluded not to press
free coinage at the current session OF
Congress. We are glad TO record this
fact. If fact il be- There can be 10 Wis
dom in passing a bill which it is known
will be vetoed by the President. II would
be a waste Of time. But the corrcspon'
dent aforementioned adds: .
What is likely to happen in the near
future will probably be the reporting from
the Coinage Committee OF another bili
10 coin the seigniorage. This bill VIII
differ from the one recently vetoed by
Pre- sident Cleveland in that II will carry
a provision for the issuance Of 3-per-
cent. bond under existing law. In other
words. that all bonds issued under eX-
isting laws shall not bear interest eX-
ceedlng per cent. per annum. II Is
expected that this bill will also in
clude some Of the provisions Of the Meyer
bill authorizing the use Of these bonds
to displace the ten-year bonds recently
issued by Secretary Carlisle
We might safely promise. in advance
to support this measure II 1t receives the
countenance OF Secretary Carlisle and
President Cleveland.

A New Reason.
That excellent Democratic journal, tn
Wheeling Register, SAYS:

That excellent Democratic Journal tn
Wheeling Register, says:
"A new reason why the income-tax
should be levied Is brought forward by
the Richmond Dispatch, which favors the
law as a sort OF equalization measure be
tween the North and South"
The Register then proceeds TO quote
from the Dispatch as follows:
Compared with the pension laws. "A
law imposing an income-taX would be
fully UNSUITABLE. Indeed, as an income>
tax would, it is conceded. be paid
almost wholly in the North. and the
money thus collected would be paid ont all
over the Union. IT would seem TO be a
measure Of justice TO resort to that tax
as means Of compensating the southern
people for the millions Of dollars collected
IN the South and expended everywhere
else in the country. The income-tax is not
sectional tax. The pensions laws are
TO all intents and purposes sectional.
They have given TO US in the South an
object-lessOn as 10 what absenteesm
means In Ireland"
We think that is not a bad argument.
It ought TO commend itself to falr-minded
men even in the North.

State COINAGE.

Governor Waite, OF Colorado, announced
in a public address at Denver last sun
day evening that the only practical way
of solving the silver problem is for the
several States 10 establish minis OF then
own and coin silver dollars enough foI
their respective wants.
No State can coin money. The Consti-
tuition of the United States settles that
question. But every State has the right
TO make gold and silver a legal tender.
this being an unavoidable inference from
the constitutional provision that no State
shall make anything but gold and silver
legal tender for debts. Governor
Waite has had so many troubles lately
that his mind is possibly somewhat be-
logged.

The Nicaragua Csnal-The President.

1t was with Infinite pleasure that we
read in yesterdays papers Senator Nor
gan's declaration that President Cleve-
land had, in conversation with him, com
mitted himself to the support OF the Nj
caragua canal-scheme. our readers know
how steadfastly we have supported this
scheme, and that We have again and
again held 1t up as one of the measures
to which the Democratic National Con-
vention of 1892 had promised the aid OF
the Democratic party, as the Republican
National Convention OF the same year
did in like manner pledge the Republican
party to the support OF the same scheme.
We rejoice 10 know that the President
has thus determined to lend his powerful
influence to the grand scheme under con-
sideration. II is one in which the whole
country is interested. but especially the
southern States.
Before Virginia went into the Union
she was regarded AS the first Of the colo
MES. Her influence was powerful for
many years after she ratified the Fede-
raj Constitution. Her sons held the office
OF President for thirty-two years out OF
the first thirty-six Of the existence OF the
republic. And we suppose we might say
that II Virginia had never entered the
Union she would hove continued TO this
