A VITAL MATTER.
Shall Virginia, West Virginia, and Mary
land Be Made to Suffer-?


RICHMOND. VA, Feb. a. 1894
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
l enclose a clipping from the New York
Times Of yesterday. and call your at
tention to the following clause:
There Is a nest OF mining and rail-
road interests in Maryland, West Vir-
gnia, and Virginia which would be af-
fected to some extent by the removal OF
this duty. for the importation OF coal from
Nova Scotia into New England would
displace a certain quantity OF coal now
shipped TO New England from these
States. Two or three senators interested
more or less directly In the mines and
railroads and other transportation COM
panies which would be affected. assisted
by a millionaire ex-senator and by the
Republican politician and old Star-Route
contractor. Richard s. Kerens, are ex-
erting all their influence against the wise
provision OF the House bill. This Is the
only opposition that has real founda-
ton In the probable effect OF the change.
but this foundation Is made Of
purely selfisn and local considerations
which ought not TO be permitted to out
weigh the interests OF the public gener-
ally, which call 70 strongly. as We have
repeatedly shown. for the transfer Of
coal 10 the free list. The producers and
transporters In question might lose their
present market In New England for n
quantity OF coal amounting TO about 6
per cent. OF the annual output In the
United States, but we may be sure that
they would sell the coal somewhere. and
the Indications now are that they would
be able even 10 export It."

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
notice with pleasure that Messrs' ot1
and Boiling. of the House. and Senator
Miller have each presented bills In their
resnectiye branches Of the General AS
sembIy for the protection OF sheep In the
State of virginia. The necessity for the
enactment OF such law being SO appS-
rent, / feel that every one engaged IN
agriculture should give encouragement to
the friends Of such a measure. Not nav
ing seen either Of the bills referred to.
only speak in general terms OF the neces-
sity of such a law, and not OF the merits
or dement's OF either bill.
VIII not our legislators have the courage
OF their convictions and vote for a dog
law?
How timid the average statesman be-
comes when elected to the Legislature.
Great aspirations seem to arise in his am
bitous soul. and he fixes hts longing eyes
upon the gubernatorial chair or some
thing greater: then his exceeding cautious
ness neutralizes his usefulness, and ne
fails to act for his country'S veal. III.

In a circular sent out from this office to

county,, asking for information on sheep
husbandry, the facts were developed that
1856, an average Of more than lO5 sheep
to each county in the State, had been
killed by dogs during The past year of

Bill Nye, who has recently printed
a history Of the United states, re-
marks therein that we have more lib
erty than we need. He says:
"When Patrick Henry put his old
east-iron spectacles on the top of his
head and whooped for liberty, he did
not know that some day we should
have more of it than we knew what to
do with. lie little dreamed that the
time would come when we should have
more liberty than we could pay for
Ii seems to me that we have too much
liberty in some ways. We have more
liberty than we have money. We
guarantee that every man shall fill
himself up full Of liberty at our ex-
pense, and the less of an American he
is, the more liberty he can have. The
more ! study American Institutions.
the more ! regret that ! was not born
a foreigner so that | could have some-
thing to say about the management Of
our great land. If ] could not be
foreigner, | believe / should prefer to
be a policeman or an Indian not tax
ed. Almost every one can have a good
deal of fun in America except the
American. lie seems so busy paving
his taxes that he has very little time TO
vote or TO mix up with the nobility"
