Tho Chcmical Bank viclimized.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Chemical
National Bank, one of the most pros
porous and most conservative institu-
tions in the country, has for the first
time in halfa century been made the vic
tim of a defaulter. The amount involved,
so far as known, is s15,7l5 and John
r. TAFT, who was the paying teller, is
the official who Incorporated the
money. The bond given by TAFT is
only for $4,000, but the missing money
will not affect an institution with a
surplus OF 81 900, 900, and whose shares
of stock, the par value of which is 500,
are now worth $4,000 each. TAFT will
not be prosecuted.

In THE North the republicans not
only refuse to give the negroes offices,
but even to admit them to their clubs,
and the republicans Of Newport's
News, in this State, at the late celebra-
ton of their party's victory, refused to
allow them to form part of their pro-
cession. And this, too, though the ne
gro vote carries many of the Northern
States, and, but for it, the republican
party in Virginia and the whole South
would be an impotent skeleton.

EVEN the rankest of republican pro,
tectionist newspapers announce the
facts that the price of coal has been re.
duced in New York and Philadelphia,
and that wages have been increased in
various industries in different parts
of the country. Thus it appears, from
the best possible authority, that, though
denounced by republicans as the sum
of villainies, and by the most promi
nent democrat as formulated "per6dy
and dishonor," the German tariff bill
is already dispensing its benefits.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. NOV. 81, 10 a
WHEN MIR. Cleveland was a candidate

WHEN Mr.. Cleveland was candidate
for President he wrote letter that con-
tanned the following words; "Fealty to
party organization demands the SUB.
ordination of individual advantages and
wishes, and the putting aside of petty
and ignoble jealousies and chickering's
when party integrity and party exist
epce are at stake" Ifever party inter
ests and party integrity were at stake,
it was on the 9th instant, and yet Mr..
Cleveland "was not in politics" then,
and not only refused to vote, but even
to say that he was in favor of the cleo
ton of the democratic ticket, so that
the cuckoos might have warrant for
giving it their support.

ONE OF the leading organs of the re.
publican party says the republican Con-
gress will restore the old tariff, increase
pensions and pass the Force bill. There
is no doubt of the fact that it would il
it could, and if it could, wouldn't the
South be in fine condition? And yet,
with the truth of what the newspaper
referred to says staring them in the
face, there are scores of thousands Of
Virginians, natives, and white people
at that, who, at the recent election,
voted directly and indirectly for re-
publican Congress. But understanding
is no more lacking now than it always
was and always will be.

nearly thirty years after the close Of
the war between the States, bestowed
"medal of honor" upon man who

A GENERAL Nor ELEcTED.-The
officers of the First Brigade, Virginia
Infantry, met in Richmond yesterday
evening to elect brigadier general to
succeed Gen. Charles j. Anderson, ap-
pointed adjutant general. They failed
to elect, the vote standing e to 6, and
finally resolution was adopted re-
questing the Governor, as commander
in-chief, to dissolve the brigade. The
candidates were Col. William Male, of
the Third Regiment, and Col. c. A.
Nash, of the Fourth Regiment. The
Governor dissolved the meeting, but
took the matter of dissolving the
brigade under advisement. TO re-
porter Governor O'Ferrall expressed
regret that the officers were unable to
electa commander, but stated that he
was not prepared to say what action he
would now take.
Colonel Male, of the Third Regiment,
upon the appointment of Brigadier-
General Charles J. Anderson to the
position of Adjutant-G General, being the
senior colonel of militia by priority of
service, was ordered by the Governor
to assume command of the brigade
January s, 1894. Until successor to
General Anderson is elected, or the
Governor dissolvesfhe brigade, he will
continue to act as brigade commander.

THE New York "independents,''

deserts, and only what was expected.
After aiding the republicans to obtain
possession of that State and city, on an
implied promise of o share of the spoils
of victory, they have been informed by
them that they are not "in it," and
that as it was republican victory, re-
publicans, and republicans only, will
not only have all the Offices, but will
manage both the city and State affairs

DIAMONDS FOE CH1cKEN FEED.-Mrs. Wm
Black, of East Orange, N. j., last Sunday took
her diamond earrings valued at $3.50, and
placed them in bowl of water preparatory
to cleaning them. A servant picked up the
bowl and threw its contents into sink. Sub
sequently she noticed one Of the earrings
and taking it from the sink she placed il
on shelf and then proceeded to clean the
sink out. The matter she threW into the
yard. Afterward when it was known that
the other earring was lost it was searched
for. but could not be found.
Monday the servant in looking out OF the
window was struck with the idea that the
diamond was bright and shining enough to at.
tract the attention of the chickens, had prob
ably been found by one of them and swallowed.
Monday night the crops of the chickens were
examined, and one with large crop was Sc
lected and killed, but the lost earring was
not found. In all four chickens were sacri-
feed but the earring is still missing.

THE New York Press says the only
way by which American ships can
be made profitable is to subsidise
them. From a republican protective
standpoint this is a just and sapient
conclusion, inasmuch as it would tax
all the other people of the country for
the benefit of a few ship owners in the

FALLS CHURCH NOTES.

A steam bakery with all modern APP
pliances is to be erected in Falls
Church.
Mrs. Elizabeth Francis, of Bailey's
Gross Roads, died of paralysis on We'd
nesday last.
MIR. A. B. Nodine, an old resident OF
Falls Church, and for many years town
sergeant, died at the residence of his
son, in Georgetown, Thursday night.
The road commissioners of Fairfax
county have decided to open q new
road from Falls Church to Fairfax
Court House, beginning at S. d. Trips
stone quarry and running straight
through to Little River turnpike. This
road will lessen the distance to Fairfax
Court House nearly mile, besides
avoiding all the heavy grades on the
old road.
The committee appointed to survey
and plot the town of Falls Church, met
on Saturday night and organized by
the selection of w. N. Lynch chairman
and NJ. E. Church secretary. Several
propositions from civil engineers were
received, and Fl. A. d. Croker, of Falls
Church, was finally selected to do the
work, which will be commenced at
once, aud completed as soon as posi-
BILE. This is considered very impor-
tant matter, as there has never been al
official survey made of the town.

TAILS OF THE WHITE HOUSE HORSES.
All of the horses in the Presidents
stables in Washington have their tails
locked. The discovery of the fact has
caused some excitement among that
class of persons who deprecate such a
radical departure from the long-tailed
fashion that has prevailed among the
White House horses since the days of
Thomas Jefferson. 1t has always been
regarded as essential to the rule
of humanity and dignity that the
President should ride behind horses
with flowing names and tails, and the
persons who are responsible for the present
concession to fashion will, no doubt, be criti-
cized as severely as were those who proposed
to hang Watts's painting of Love and Life"
in the White House corridor. During Presi-
dent Grants second administration the dock
ing of horses tails was considered the proper
thing among those who set the "court"styles,
and 4 persistent attempt was made to obtain
Gen. Grants consent to an abbreviatiOn Of the
tails of his favorite roadster, "Cincinnatns,"
snd the other fine horses in his stable. Tho
General, however regarded docking as cruel
and the long flowing tale as thing of beauty
and he refused to be persuaded. Tho local
society for the Prevention OF Cruelty to Ami
III SIS thereupon passed appropriate resolut IS
commencing the President for his humane
sentiments. 1t is intimated that President
Cleveland was also opposed to the docking
operation that has just taken place but that
he was overruled by those whose desires he
is in duty bound to respect.
