ask the Senate committee 20 accept some
Of tho provisions OF the Wilson hill which
this COMMITTEES has decided to strike out.
They may throw the whole Democratic
camp into confusion by revising once
more the free fist. and putting upon It
coal, iron. and various other articles.
We repeat therefore. that the complica-
lions OF the situation have not been
reduced in number by Mr.. carlisle's new
movement. He Is an able man, and tho
roughly familiar with the whole subject
Of the tariff-better informed on this SUBJ
1ect than even Nr. Cleveland. But there
are able men in the Senate who will
have to pass upon Mr.. Carlisies work /;
and these may not fall In with his mo-
tons on tariff rehrm," nor with the
uncompromising spirit which he Is ex-
pectcd TO manifest In dealing with the
problem of protection.
This new movement Of Mr.. Carlisle's
does not promise early congressional ac-
ton on the tariff, nor the abolition OF dis
cord on that subject In the Democratic
knowing to-day what IS to be done to-
morrow. A rift In the dark clouds which
overhang the Democratic party may at
any time be caused by circumstances We
cannot now foresee. But one thing is GER
tain. and this Is that unless Congress
disposes Of the tariff sooner than that
body seems inclined 10 dispose Of IL.
the consequences TO the Democratic party
may be disastrous. For 1t is true TO-
day. and will continue to be true until
the end is reached. that II is more i'm
portant to pass the new tariff bill than
1t is to make 1t strict measure OF tariff
reform

Work for Business. Men.

The businessmen OF Richmond have II
In their power to exercise great influence
upon to-morrow's primary election, II
they will but give 1t that earnest atten-
ton and jealous work which its import
ance deserves. In nearly every ward
they could determine, for instance. who
should represent us in the City Council
and in the City Democratic Committee.
They ought not to wait to be invited
and urged TO go TO the polls, as II their
attendance there would be condescen-
sion on their part. They should rather
consider 1t a privilege. as well as duty
which they are not at liberty to neg
ness-men should not be the first to pre-
sent themselves at the voting places, or
why they should not stay there as long
as their influence could be effectual for
good.
The Dispatch entreats the businessmen
of Richmond not to wait TO be coaxed
into doing their duty Tomorrow but to
do 1t cheerfully, heartily. and sponta-
neously. If they were called upon to
attend ward meetings. we know of OBJ
jections that they might raise. but when
we are to have primary-a legalized
primary, too-we can't imagine any rea-
son which they can offer against giving
the necessary time 10 cast their votes
The Dispatch urges every Democratic
voter of Richmond TO participate in the
primary, but from past experiences we
well know that businessmen need more
urging than do any other class. This Is
not as 1t should be, but we state the
that many men cease to take interest
in city politics when they become large
taxpayers; when they become men OF
influence; when they have greater stake
in the community than ever before.
The City Democratic Committee have
adopted q primary-electon plan which
commends itself to the judgment Of all
intelligent men. and voters have scores
Of candidates soliciting their support.
From the list of candidates Offering we
may easily select men capable OF filling
satisfactorily every Office which is to
be filed, and we hold 1t to be the bounden
duty of businessmen to come forward
and assist the party in making wise Sc
lections. So prepare to do your duty.
and exert your influence to make others
do theirs

Mr., Cleyeland's Letter.

by way of comment upon Mr.. Cleveland $
latest epistle to the public, for whom his
letter TO Mr.. Black was intended. The
Philadelphia Telegraph regards 1t as a
cracking of the Executive whip over Con-
gress. We did not find 1t so. 1t seems TO

guarded as n letter could be to contain
what he considered II to be his duty TO
say on the subject of tariff reform. We
quote the Telegraph:
"He cracks his whip and orders every
body into line, under the threat of being
turned down by the party organization;
for this is what is meant by the reference
to the peoples trust, etc. Any doubt
upon this point Is at once cleared up by

The Decision in the Pocomoke Cases

The Decision in the Pocomoke Cases.
We have before us the full text OF the
opinion of the United States Supreme
Court in the Pocomoke oyster-cases. Even
a cursory reading Of the opinion will show
that the decision is very far-reaching
in its effects, and so the people Of Mary
land regard it.
Their first contention was that the citi-
zens of that State were entitled to free
right Of fishery. including the right to
take oysters both In Pocomoke river and
Pocomoke sound. In common with the
people OF Virginia.
2. That no legislation Of Virginia re-
in those waters was valid without the
consent of Maryland.
3. But II that was not so. they con-
tended that citizens Of Maryland violating
Virginia oyster-laws could not be tried
in the courts Of Virginia, but only in
the courts Of Maryland.
Upon each and all OF these points the
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States is against the State Of
Maryland, and fully sustains the views
taken by the Virginia lawyers.
Mr.. Justice Field truly states that
these oyster-grounds are very productive.
and are of great value-that PocoJnoke
sound has an area of ninety-two square
miles. of which about ffty-two square
miles consist of the finest oyster-rocks
and beds, yielding many millions of oys-
tiers. giving occupation and support to
several thousand people.
1t will thus be seen how vastly impor-
tant to the people Of the Eastern Shore
and to the State at large Is this decision.
These cases were first decided by Judge
Gillet. the Judge of the County Court
of Accomac. who delivered a very valu-
able opinion in writing. The cases were
then carried by the Marylanders to the
Circuit Court of the United States. Here
a very elaborate and able opinion, cover
ing the whole ground, was delivered by
Judge Hughes.
From these decisions an appeal was
taken by the MARYLAND counsel to The SUI
preme Court Of the United States, which
court unanimously affirmed the judgment
Of Judges Gillet and Hughes. The argu-
ment on the part Of Virginia In the Su-
preme Court was conducted by Judge
Staples, Acknowledgement Scott. Mr..
Fletcher, Commonwealth Attorney for
Accomac county, and Hon. w. A. Jones.
Judge Staples was employed by the peo-
pie of Accomac county to argue the cases
In the Supreme Court OF the United
States. The Judge has the qualification Of
knowing that the case Of Hendricks ver-
sus the Commonwealth. decided when he
was a member Of the Court OF Appeals
OF Virginia, was cited and relied CO as
authority by Mr.. Justice Field.

Our Veterans at Birmingham.

At Birmingham, Ala, to-day there VIII
be a meeting of the Grand Camp oil
United Confederate Veterans. and gene

and soldiers OF the southern armies. Ella
borate preparations have been made 10
make their visit agreeable, and 1t Is ex-
pected that the attendance will reach
25.oo0 and that most of our surviving
generals will be present.
Virginia will be we'll represented there,
but we observe from published list OF the
camps in existence that our Confederate
veterans have not been SO Jealous IN
banding themselves together as their
brethren in some other States have been
However, we believe. there are quite
number of Confederate veteran orgaaiza-
lions In this State which have not con-
nected themselves with this Grand Camp,
though they are in full sympathy with II
In all Of it's aims and purposes. Texas
takes the lead OF all the States In number
of camps. Many of these camps are
composed in great part of men who served
in commands from other States, but who
have since located in Texas. and ma
it very pleasant indeed to meet old COM
rades-in-arms at caInp-iires.
We trust that the veterans will have
good time at birmingham. Our hearts are
with them. They are representative men
of the survivors of the intrepid armies
which Lee, Johnston. Kirby Smith, ana
our other great heroes led. III sy "epre-
sent as chivalrous soldiers as any that
ever took up arms for patriotic cause.
one of the subjects which will come be-
fore the Grand Camp will be the report
Of n committee to consider what ought
to be done TO furnish southern schools
with a history which deals justly with
the men who took up arms for southern
independence and meets every other re-
quirement of history OF this country.
Three decades nearly have passed since
the surrender of Lee. and this want,
which has been felt from the beginning.
Is still unsupplied. No FL Their delay
should be tolerated. 1t is impossible TO
secure a perfect book; we need not wait
for that: we should take the best book
that is offered. and improve 1t from time
10 time in successive editions. Quite
number of school histories by southern
authors have been published, but not
one has come into general use. 1t is
time now to act decisively II we really
mean to act at all.
At this reunion there will be also

ment Association. It's work was brought
almost to a standstill by the financial
troubles which came upon the country
about the time that Mr.. Davis's body
was removed hither from New Orleans,
but active operations may soon be re-
newed, we hope The monument Will be
bullt. No doubt of that. Richmond and
Virginia have earned some distinction as
.monument-bulders, and in this enterprise
they have the right to count upon the aid
of the people of all the States which COM
posed the Confederacy.
