A PIANO AT A NOMINAL PRICE.

new building. They have anumber of
slightly used and second hand pianos

to sacrifice rather than to try to make
room for. These instruments comprise

ed, including among numerous others
Chickering, Knabe, Steinway, Weber,
Decker, Steck, Fisher, etc. This is an
opportunity that will not occur again,
as Lyon & Healy have not moved for
twenty years. Immediate attention is
therefore necessary. A good plan
would be to order a piano, leaving the
selection to Lyon & Healy. However
they will send list and full particulars
on application. Any piano not prov
satisfactory may be returned at their
expense. Address at their new sales

century for honorable dealing. Write

The Sibley Case,

On the passage of the Bland bill in
the House Of Representatives, Mr.. Sibley,
of Pennsylvania. is recorded as having
voted. So 1t Is fair TO assume that he
was present when the order closing de-
bate on that bill was adopted by a bare
quorum. neither one vote more nor one
vote less II. therefore, he was as "a
mere spectator in the gallery" and not
entitled 10 vote. the House of Repre-
sentatives ought TO take action in the
matter. No harm could result, seeing
that, as we said the other day. Mr.. Sib-
ley has u color of title TO the seat. and
his votes are legal.
Mr.. Sibley is the Pennsylvania who
recently resigned his seat in the House
OF Representatives and afterwards went
to Harrisburg and recovered his letter
OF resignation.
1t is an interesting case. The authori-
ties seem to be against the right to with
draw designations.

A Constitutional Convention.

The people OF Virginia who are think
ing for themselves want constitutional
convention, and the General Asse mbiy III
refusing TO make provision for an EXPIRES
sion on that subject has blund red. The
interests Of economy and good government
alike demand better Consultation for
Virginia now than was given ner when
she could not exercise her own Will,
when she was fettered by Federal inter-
ference and oppressed BY Carpetbagism.
Norfolk Landmark.
After the members of the Legislature go
home and talk this matter over with their
constituents they will probably come back
here ready to pass resolutions submitting
the convention question TO the people. 1t
will be a hard thing to deny to the
voters Of Virginia the right OF saying
whether they will have u convention or
not.
We did not favor such action at this
session because we were sure that the
subject had not been sufficiently discussed.
If the General Assembly had ordered that
a popular vote be taken at the next
November election we much fear that
we could not have carried the proposition.
"A year later we trust that the people Will
be nearly unanimous for 1t.
Some one has put forth the statement
that a convention will cost 10000. 1t
will cost no such sum. But 10 1t did 1t
could effect economies in our government
which would save this money In two
years.
1t is also alleged against the conven-
ton that it is impossible to better our
suffrage qualifications. How can we tell
this until we discuss the matter care
fully? Besides, Independent of the suf-
frage question. there are sufficient reasons
why we should not consent to live any
longer under the Underwood Constitution.
Let us keep up work In favor OF a
convention, and this we may pretty safely
do with the belief that there will be an
extra session OF the General Assembly
next winter-an extra Session called TO put
In force the petty-larceny laws, ETC., which
the constitutional amendments to be voted
for in November will authorize the Gene
raj Assembly to enact

and we believe that II would be good,
wholesome law for the whole State
Really the only objection that any of the
white counties can make TO 1t Is that II
subjects them 10 tho trouble and expense
or printing the Official ballot at the pub
lie cost and puts their voters to the
bother of going into booths.
We. however believe that the feeling
here In illustrative OF the feeling through
out the whole State. where the matter has
been duly considered In all OF its bear
hgs. The people Of Richmond would
choerfully put themselves 10 double Their
present trouble and expense 10 cast their
ballots II by so doing they could help
their beloved brethren Of Tidewater and

II in fearfulness IN the great strain and
etress put upon the white voters to keep

This Anderson Mccormick Australian
system seems TO offer relief to a long-suf-
fcring and much misrepresented people.
and we therefore think that 1t is at least
worthy OF a trial.

Mr.. Gladstone's Retirement,

Mr.. Gladstone has treated the world TO
two surprises Although several OF the
English papers asserted prior to the
Grand Old Mans return from the Cont
nent that he would attack the House OF
Lords and offer his resignation, 1t was
not generally believed that he would do
either. He has done both. When, how
ever. we consider Mr.. Gladstones politi-
cal career as "a whole. 1t is difficult TO
escape the conviction that the first step
was merely O dramatic and not altogether
sincere prelude TO the second. Tho sus-
picion intrudes itself that had he intended
10 remain in office and lead another fight
his followers TO pursue a much more con-
cillatory course towards the Peers.
But even admitting that this suspicion
f. unfounded. We fail 10 SEQ any very
grave significance In Mr. Gladstone's crit
icism OF. or. as some term 1t, challenge
TO the upper house. His speech was caus-
tic and brilliant but II was also ambigu-
Gus, and certainly It would not appear
10 sound the death knell OF tho House Of
Lords. The declaration In the speech.
which ELECTED the greatest applause from
the Liberals and Radicals, that there was
higher power than the House OF Com
mons. viz, the people. was calculated 10
prove "catchy" for the moment. but no
one knows better than Mr.. Gladstone that
the Peers recognize that the people are
al u fyla 49, .f.r
house. This is proved by the record that
the House Of Lords has never failed TO
bow TO the will OF the people when that
Will was unequlvocally expressed after
sober second thought.
That Mr.. Gladstone's retirement Will
prove in some respects a loss TO his party
cannot DO questioned No other leader IN
England possesses the personal magnet
ism OF this aged commoner and unques-
tionably he has no equal in England as
an organizer. The fact that he has been
able u hold together. control. and har-
monte the small and dscordant ma
JOrity in the House Of Commons which
was behind him when he took Office Is
triumph which doubtless no other man In
the realm could have achieved. Neverthe-
less If, as now appears to be the pro-
gramme. Lord Rosebery shall be made
his successor, Mr.. Gladstone's pet mea-
sure. home rule. will probably stand a
better chance Of becoming an accomplish
ed fact than ever before. Known as IS
Rosebery TO be absolutely free from sell
fish ambition. and being in accord with
the Conservatives on questions Of for
eIgn policy, he has not only the conf
dence of but influence with the Opposition.
Indeed. 1t is not certain that Rosebery's
position on foreign questions has not
saved Mr.. Gladstones government on sew
eral occasions.

Things Have Changed.

Things have changed In the conduct OF
such newspapers as rank we'll in their
locality. There is broader sweep to
what they may accomplish. With the
improvement in and the cheapening Of
all art processes. with the manufacture
of paper from wood. with development
OF the press. they are enabled to give to
the world for almost nothing what was.
but few years ago. within reach OF only
the exceptionally well-to-do.
There has been q wonderful advance In
the reproduction. at "a small price, Of any
picture. and there has at the same time
been a wonderful advance in cheapening
the process OF putting it upon strong
paper and lit for almost unlimited pre-
servation.
The Dispatch offers a bargain, made
possible By modern improvements in the
manufacture Of what it gives. The parts
already issued may yet be secured, but it
would be unreasonable to suppose that
they should be printed In such quantities
as will supply the back demand for any
length of time. The coupons call for a
certain issue-the whole system is ex-
planned elsewhere-and the numbers lack
ing can yet be supplied to those who only
now realize the value of the opportunity.
The views offered for almost nothing
by tie Dispatch are simply remarkable
pictures OF the most famous sites and
events in the world. in shape suitable for
binding into a volume which will form
wonderful collection. and which will ex-
coed in interest almost any known pub
lication. The views have each the ap-
pended sketch. which tells the story.

Dimetalliem.

"A cablegram in Tuesdays papers shys
that the Emperor William Is giving a great
deal Of attention TO bimetallsm. 1t adds.
almost ludicrously, that he SIS bringing
nil his influence TO bear to prevent
further decline in the price Of silver"
King Kanute tried in his day an equally
promising experiment. However, che
influence OF such a ruler as William OF
Germany counts for something. The
world needs silver money. and the worlds
statesmen must ascertain how that kind
OF money IS 10 be furnished. One thing
is certain. and this is that gold will not
be used If coined into pieces of less de-
nomination than a dollar. What re-
mains? Nothing but shinplasters or sill
yer. Let England. France, Germany. and
the United States OF America settle this
question in an international timetable
conference and supply the world with
universal currency. They can do 1t,
and they ought to DO it.
1t seems to be certain that bmetallism
occupies a very different position In the
eyes of the financiers OF Europe from that
which 1t occupied previous to the late
international bimetallic conference. Es-
pecially has England been treated TO an
object-lesson. The result OF the closing
OF the minis Of India to free coinage on
private account has taught her that the
monetary experts are not always to be
relied upon TO give the best advice or
TO adopt the wisest measures of state
craft. And Senator Allison CRepublican),
who attended the last international none
tary conference as delegate, said in a
speech at Detroit on Washingtons birth
day, that he was as sure the nations
would unite with us TO restore silver as
that the sun would rise tomorrow.

Deportation Of the Negroes.

Grand Master Sovereign announces that
the knights Of Labor In the United
States are about to begin a campaign
having for its object the deportation Of
the negroes from this country. and their
colonization In Africa-either In the
Congo basin or elsewhere. a wilder
scheme was never Matched in mans
brain. There were 7.i7o.oio negroes in
the United States IN 1890. Their natural
increase Is. let US say. per cent. or In
round numbers about $4,000 a year. How
many vessels would be required to re-
move all these negroes? How much
money? How Is the consent Of the no
groes to be obtained? Do the Knights
OF Labor purpose to force these people

pabie of pressrv ing for themselves pure
religion, or even q tolerable condition Of
civilization. They must be where the
white man caa control them and provide
for them. or they will certainly soon prove
to all the world that self-government
will never be one Of tho blessings which
they can secure for themselves.
We sympathizo with the white men
who find Their wages reduced as con-
sequence Of the emancipation Of the ne
groes. We cannot deny that 1t would
be the greatest blessing which could
fall to the lot Of the whites OF this coun-
try to have The negroes oil sent to Africa.
But, all the same. we cannot but see
that they will 1eyer be forced out or this
the land OF their nativity.
The whites are gradually increasing
the proportion which they bear TO the
negroes in tho United States. In 1850
there were f5,l62 negroes to 10000 whites.
In 1870 there were only 1856. The I'M
migration OF whites TO this country and
the failure OF negroes to come hither
are the two facts which account for this
