What the Virginia Populists Hope For.

The Cincinnati Commercial turned its
eyes towards Virginia day or two ago
and made the following prediction. or af-
frmation:
In Virginia the Populists have acquired
such strength that they confidently claim
three Of the ten districts. and neither Of
these is In what is known as the black
belt where the colored vote Is strong
but in the distlnctively white and form
erly Democratic districts. All the n
dications now point toward the Second
and Fourth, black-belt districts. sending
Republicans. with another, the Tenth,
white district. sending a Republican, and
three other white districts being repre-
scented by Populists."
These be Swelling words" They ought
to stimulate the Democrats Of Virginia TO
go to work at once with might and main u"
to secure the success OF their party.

chicago's Business.Men on the Tariff.

For weeks and months we have en-
deayored TO induce Congress TO pass
new tariff bill. We have again and again
tried TO impress our congressman with the
fact that IT was not any particular tariff
bill the people demanded. but some bill
when would free commerce from the
shackles Of uncertain customs-duties. and
let the public realize that they could
safely adjust their business 10 the new
tariff. and make 1t blessing to the
whole land. 1t seemed TO us to be plain
that this was the key to the situation
and the solution Of the problem of get
ting rid of hard times. The present con-
dition OF the Senate tariff bill does not
seem to be such as TO promise a measure
acceptable to the President. nor. as TO
that matter. does 1t appear that Congress
intends to hurry up legislation on this
important subject.
What did the people In the case OF the
bill repeating the Sherman silver-iaw!
The businessmen awaited the action of
Congress on that bill as long as their
patience lasted, and then proceeded to
hold public meetings. calling upon that
body to cease making speeches, and let the
bin be passed. There is in the following
telegram from Chicago "A hint that the
businessmen can again do their country
O service by pressing for action on the
new tariff bill. We quote:
CHICAGO. July 19.--Impatient at the
delays Of Congress In coming to some de-
cislon on the tariff question, prominent
businessmen OF Chicago have united In
az, appeal that some definite action be
taken at once. The step was precipitated
by the reports in yesterdays papers that
the Conference Committee OF the TWO
houses had failed 10 agree. Many OF the
merchants, who had for months anXiously
waited for the tariff to 20 into erect De
fore buying their fall and winter goods,
became alarmed over the prospect OF
much longer delay and further uncer-
tainty in the business world. Accord
ingly. number of them, led by IL. \.
Hirlnbotham and John j. Mitchell, started
out TO get signers to petition, asking
Congress, in view of the necessities OF the
rountry's interest. TO draw its deiibera-
lions on the tariff bill to prompt con
ciusion.
In the words of MIR. Higinbotham, The
burden Of the whole appeal was: I'VE
don't care now you setNe t"a P"'''O''
but we want you to settle IL In some way
At once. TIntil you do the times Will con
t,nue hard" The petition was signed
without hesitation by ninety-eight OF the
best wholesale and retail dry-goods mer-
chants. hardware dealers, bankers. gro
GERS packers and manufacturers in the
city. Every firm approached, regardless
of the political opinions OF its members,
expressed the heartiest sympathy with the
movement.
IL all the great cities of the country
were TO follow the example OF Chicago
A. new tariff law might be In force at All

tunity TO buy their fall and winter goods.

Alexander Herman, the magician, has

rifles Moreover he proposes to catch the
bullets in his hands. and return them to
the gentlemen who will oblige him by
shooting at him. Further, Herman de-
clares that he will not wear any bullet
proof armor at all. The firing party is
TO be stationed thirty feet from him.
Herman declares that he performed this
very feat in Havana, Cuba. ten years
ago.

New Jail and City Finances.

All who have given the matter any
Investigation or who have read the
opinions of others who have looked into
the subject, must agree that Richmond
needs new jail. The present building
IS too small and too limited in yard-room'
and is In no respect suited to the demands
of the tine. But all this being conceded.
the question arises. can our city anord
to enter upon such an expense as the
building OF a new jail would involve?
IL Is proposed TO sell the Clarks Spring
property, and. later on. the present jail
prcperty. and with the proceeds OF these
construct a new jail upon the Seabrooke
warehouse-lot. We see no objection to this
scheme, provided that the sales In ques-
lion will produce money enough to con-
rtruct such a new Jail building as Rich
mond should have. But we very much
aoubt II half enough money would be
ralized from the proposed sales. and. II

make I'D the remainder by issuing city
bords.
In our Judgment the city of Richmond
will do herself a great wrong IL she issues
any more bonds for some years TO come.
except for such purposes as recommend
themselves 10 the unanimous judgment
Of the public.
The present condition OF our city
finances is that our expenditures exceed
Dur income. and we are rapidly approach
ing the time when the City Council must
cut down expenses or increase the rate

Der. was year OF high prices for real
estate. Our assessment is TO be revised
In 1885, and 1t remains 10 be seen whether
1896 will be year OF high or low prices
1t would not be wise for the City Coun-
Gil to commit itself TO the new-jaii projec,
until II has had reports on the general
subject OF receipts and expenses from
its Committee on Finance and It's Commit

Mr.. Clark. OF Missouri, gave the House
Of Representatives notice the other day
that he was opposed to civil-scrvics
pension-list. He told Of a government
clerk who had been In once for twenty.
nine years. and now claimed that he
ought to be retained In II because he
could not do anything but perform cleri-
cal duties. We quote:
'Mr. Clark: like to see Democrats In
these Offices. and II not Democrats. good
fighting Republicans, or ADVANTAGEOUS
Populisis. Q.aughter) / have no use for
an American who says he has no political
opinions He has no manhood. ! Ike
men who have principles and are ready to
fight for them-men who entertain opin-
ions and are not afraid 10 express them.
Now. what do you do? You give them
life position. They do not undertake to
save dollar: and when they get too old
for service they say the government
ought 10 support them. Such theory
runs counter TO common sense and eter.
nal right.
IF i had my way. n clerk would be
appointed over there for four years. and
then let him go back into the body OF
the people and imbibe some OF their
spirit Of patriotism. economy. and self
reliance 1t would do him a world OF
good TO commune awhile with the tax
payers instead of the tax-eaters. And
when one OF them failed 10 go home to
vote at two elections In succession, he
should never be allowed 10 hold another
office In this government so long as he
lived. daughter and applause)
Mr.. Clarks is a new kind OF civil-service
reform, but II is better than the kind
advocated by the Mugwumps. II Is just
as certain as anything in the future can
be that cvil-pension list will follow In
the footsteps Of civil-service reform OF
the Mugwump kind. The longer man
stays In Office the higher claim does he
set up to be continued in Office. He for
gets that he was almost ready to go
down on his knees and beg for the office
which he secured as against numerous
other applicants. He also forgets that
these unsuccessful applicants are taxed TO
pay him n pension.
The true doctrine is laid down In the
Virginia Bill of Rights. Let government
officials return frequently to the body Of
the people SO shall they keep In touch
with them and realize the fact that tax
eating and tax-paying are two different
things.
