@. II. Morgan, Esq, secretary OF the
ST. Louis Merchants Exchange, has adj
dressed 20 the Missouri congressman a
letter in which no says that the Board
Of Directors OF that Exchange, being OF the
opinion that the cause. and perhaps the
principal cause. OF the stagnation IN all
lines OF bustfess Is tho uncertainty as
10 what action will be taken by Con-
gress IN reference 20 the Wilson tariff
bill. and believing further that speedy
action. either by the passage OF the bill
or by its rejection. thereby settling the
vexed question. will be OF the greatest ben
eft TO the commercial interests OF the
country. respectfully request them to use
their beat endeavors TO have vote taken
thereon In the House and Senate at the
earliest opportunity.
Sensible men.
In New York city Friday night
mass-mceting was held under
the auspices OF the Workingmen's Trades
Association Of New York, New Jersey.
Pennsylvania, Delaware. and New Eng

AS to Grammar.

There IS no folly" in English gram
mar II Is only because the rules OF
grammar tell him what verb he ought 70
use that any man Is able to decide wheth-
er TO write "IIe laid down." or HE lay
down" or 70 write 'In the distance Is
seen a hundred men," or "In the distance
are seen hundred men"
a celebrated Bngishman saws that TO
n house builder the Latin language must
suggest the idea Of a house with the
hall in the third story Borrowing the
Illustration. we would say that TO house
builder the English language stripped OF
its grammar. must suggest the idea of
a pile OF old bricks.
Nevertheless. we must all admit that
English az she IL spoke" and writ
IS a complex language. With the assist
ance OF tho best OF grammars, the man
Of average education ia often found
writing. IL am one OF the men that is al
ways trying TO do my duty" instead Of
zone Of the men that are always trying
to do their duty" or as we have often
explained, grammar tells us that we
must write zone OF them" not zone Of
him"

The Line In Primaries.

euppose there should be a heated con-
Test for a particular office. suppose ths'
tartisan feeling ran high, as II oIteh
does Suppose that the whites were pretty
evenly divided ia opinion, and the col
orod Democrats came In and decided the
conteet--made the nomination, IN TACT
what would the defeated whites say? And
under such circumstances how long would
Democratic primaries continue TO satisfy
the wishes and expectations OF the white
members Of the Democratic party?-The
Dispatch. Saturday.
In answer 10 the first question, we an
ewer that n they were sensible men
they would say nothing but accept the
result quietly. In answer 10 the second,
we say. as long as the Democratic party
was composed OF men OF common sense.
The Dispatch should have quoted our
article In full 20 put the questions II has,
but It's a trife OF which we make no COM
plaint.-The Times, Sunday
White men do not accept negro rule
quietly. They win not be ruled by either
Democratic or Republican negroes. over
ana over again has the City Democratic
Committee OF Richmond considered this
question; over and over again has It con-
Guided that II It admitted negroes as
voters at primaries 1t would introduce
disoord into our ranks. The committee has
never believed-our people have never be-
Iieved-that the whites would accept a
nomination the decisive votes OF which
were cast by negroes. This is one OF the
embarrassing environments OF the color
line question: a condition which. we fear.
win obtain just 80 long as we are con-
nonted IN the management OF public af-
fairs by great host OF ignorant and ire
sponsible voters.

II we understand the Dispatch, its logiC
is that Mr.. Beverley might be believed Il
lie wrote letter for publication, but hi
is wholly unworthy OF belief when HI
makes a statement in a letter intended Il
be private. but which gets before the
public by accident The Dispatch mus
really pardon US for declining to pursue
a discussion with an adversary who takes
this view Of the value OF testimony.-Tht
Richmond Times.
Not so; we have not intimated that Mr..
Beverley is wholly unworthy of belief
But against his wish he has been acci-
dentally introduced by the Times 70 prove
election-frauds committed by Democrats
In Tidewater Virginia. The fact that lie
did not consent TO go upon the witness
stand his letter shows, and It is cruel In
the Times to hold him there. However,
his testimony is but hearsay and we be
lieve that he fully realized its inadmissi-
bility when he requested that his letter
should not be published.
The Times must know that n man
writing In confidence 10 an editor does not
usually take such pains TO verify his
statements as he would take II ne knew
that his letter was to be published under
his signature in full.

Secretary Carlisle and His Loans.

Secretary Carlisle has written let
ter 10 Mr.. VOORHEES,. chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, explaining the
necessity for the issue Of new bonds
to be used in keeping UP the reserve
fund. lie has had three offers from
bankers who are willing to take all the
bonds he may issue. In our last paper
we explained this matter fully and gave
Mr.. Carlisle's views on the subject. The
new bonds may be issued under the au-
thorty Of the resumption act, Il Con-
gress is too slow in acting. The Repub-
ilcans have always held that the act
conferred this power upon the Secretary
of the Treasury.

The Underwood Constitution has had
its day and must go, so far at least as It's
suffrage feature is concerned. The peopl.
Of Virginia were opposed to the universal
suffrage article from the beginning aNd
only accepted Il because the alternative
was continuance under military rule
with General Candy in command. We
have endured the Constitution for nearly
a quarter OF a century, which shows how
patient and forbearing our people are; but
the time has now come for change. and
the way 10 secure that change is 20 call
a constitutional convention. Other south.
ern States have had TO take such action,
and there Is no escape for us; We must
do likewise -Richmond Dispatch.

paragraph Is true. The suffrage feature OF

Mr.. Ingalls, particularly objects 10 the
Wilson tariff bill. We do not wonder
at this. considering that he represents
great coal and iron interests. which VIII

that such action on the part Of Congress
win lose Virginia and West Virginia TO
the Democrats. Perhaps he takes too
gloomy view as 10 the Old Dominion.
Anyhow, we may say that our congress-
men--or certainly the majority OF them
will do all they can TO make coal and
iron bear their share OF taxes. IL they
fan we must accept the situation Ike

afford TO let the Democratic party be
beaten. The whites must and will rule

entertaining. 1t Is crisp and bright, as
all his public utterances are.

The Bill Practically Dead.

II Il be true. as stated in a Chicago
telegram in yesterdays Washington Post
that ex-senator Dorsey has the assur-
ances OF four Democratic United States
senators that they are opposed to the VII
son bill and will never vote for IT. then
the sooner the roll is called the better.

Dorsey said. that they are opposed TO
the bill and that II It passes the House
they will never vote for 1t when It
reaches the Senate. l am convinced
