1t Is reported among the political COS
sips In Washington that Mr. Cleveland
is trying to get possession Of the ma
chine" In New York. and with the AID OF
the government patronage may succeed
We quote from the Post:
"A rumor was current at the Capitol
Yesterday that Tammany would now take
a hand In the matter. and would endeavor
10 secure the confirmation OF Mr.. Peck
ham. In view OF the presidency with
which the nominee has fought that Or
ganixation this hardly seems credible, but
the assertion was made that Tammapy
would have everything to gain and MOTH
ing TO lose by arrayi0g itself on the side
of the administration In this Tight. with
tho sagacious aid Of Secretary Lamont,
the President Is said 70 be playing a
shrcwd game In New York politics, In that
he Is dealing directly with the county
committeeman and other party leaders In
the State. and IL handing TO them the ~
tronage which Senator Hill would not ask
for. Lamont was put into the Cabinet be-
cause he was so sagacious.'
But how all this tallies with civil-ser-
vice reform and giving the offices 10 the
men best qualified to fill them. and keep
ing even capable Republicans in Office. is
more than we can explain. Think of It,.
Tammany and the President fighting to-
gether against Hin. The machine will
be more potent than ever II the above
programme be carried out.

The Times as a Prosecutor.

The way the Dispatch insists upon put.
ting the Times into the position Of a sort
OF commemorative attorney-what the
French call procureur-general-fo all the
people of Virginia Is truly ludicrous.
The Richmond Times.
The position was OF your own choosing
In it you put yourself. That you have
discharged your self-imposed duties with
ZEAL IL not with discretion. there is nc
one to deny. II has been many years
since the Democratic party of Virginia
has been subjected to such lombard.
ment as you have given 1t since Novem-
Der last.
All that we have insisted" upon was
that you should disclose the evidence upon
which you based your attacks. Our in
sistence has been in vain. You give us
nothing but generalities OF the vaguest
character. as on yesterday. when you said
"every Virginian knows . the fact
that elections are ended and done for in
many parts OF Virginia"
Now, II the Times doesn't here appear
as a prosecutor Of mot for) all the people
of Virginia. then indeed Is our view OF
the case truly ludicrous.'

with him: and was reported to have re-
quested tho Attorney-General to In
form the Governor that II ne
would attend to the affairs OF the Chief
Executive at Richmond he would man
age the violators Of the law In Norfolk
county.
When the Governor was shown the tele-
gram he said he had received no message
from Judge Portiock. and gave no Gre
dence TO the report. He further said II
was not TO be expected that he could
have communicated with the Judge, as
the latter had to sit upon violations OF
the law and was not prosecuting officer.
The Governor has issued a requisItion
upon the Governor Of West Virginia for

OF Ira Mullins Inv Wise county In May,

Commissioners Associated Railways.

Our Chamber OF Commerce Is periecuy
r,,b, in protesting against the removal
from this city 10 Baltimore OF the once
OF tho Commissioner Of the Associated
PATHWAYS Of Virginia and the Carolinas'
.,,tcb ,hev have reason TO believe Is In
contemplation.
II is not struggle simply to retain
here fifteen or twenty employees. but
vieorous rcmon.trance against the be
Hitting Of this city.
Tho association is composed OF the
panvulc. Seaboari. and Atlantic Coast
lines and Richmond is the natural loca-
,ion for the commissioners Office. with
whom our citizens have a vast deal OF
business, and upon whose lines they
bestow large amount OF patronage.
The removal Of the Danville railroad
offices from this city furnished evidence
20 our business competitors to enable them
To argue that Richmond was an inconse-
oucntial city. Remarks Of that character
were constantly heard. and so 1t Will be
~ we sit sim now and consent that this
change shall be made.
Almost hourly our businessmen have
need to consult the commissioner as to
rates, &C. and 1t would be a hardship
10 require them TO telegraph or write
him at Baltimore. whereas the city OF
Baltimore has no such claim upon the
consideration OF these roads as the me-
tropolis OF Virginia has. Besides. Bait-
more has other conveniences for rate
making not possessed by us The present
arrangement is no hardship upon her. but
the contemplated one would be great
hardship upon us.
Unless an understanding can be arrived
81 that the commissioners office shall re-
main here, tho chamber undoubtedly viii
be justified In their expressed purpose OF
doing all that they can to prevent re-
moyal.

Hawaii-The Presidents Policy.

In the United States Senate on Monday
Mr.. Turpie. OF Indiana, from the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs. reported the fol-
lowing resolution for adoption by the
Senate.
Resolved That from the facts and pa
pers laid before the Senate IL Is unwise
and inexpedent under existing conditions
TO consider at this time any project OF
annexation OF the Hawaiian Territory
TO the United States. The Provisional
Government therein having been duly
recognized. the highest international in
terests require that II shall pursue itf
own line OF policy. Foreign Intervention
IN the political affairs of the islands will
be regarded as an act unfriendiy TO the
Government of the United States"
1t is worthy Of note that the President
and the committee do not say, with the
superseryiceable anti-annexationists. that
the United States Government has nc
power TO annex the Hawaiian Islands to
the United States. On the contrary. they
by necessary implication declare that the
power to annex the islands is possessed
by the United States. Read:
"It IL unwise and inexpedient under
existing conditions to consider at this
time any project OF annexation OF the
Hawaiian Territory to tho United States.
We ask no more at present The reso-
luton claims the power to annex under
proper conditions. and implies that In the
future II may become wise and expedien'
10 consider the project OF annexing the
Hawaiian Territory to the United States
"Hawaiian Territory" In the phrase; not
"Hawaiian Islands" nor Hawaii" We
suppose the committee employed thai
phrase after full consideration OF 1t
The United States Government acquired
from France. Spain. and Mexico much
territory. Why cannot the United States
repeat that experiment?
On the whole. we feel gratifed that the
President did not agree to endorse the
Nugwump theory that the United States
Government cannot lawfully or consti
.Ytionally acquire territory In another
continent nor another hemisphere We
hold that It can acquire territory at the
antipodes. Why not? There is no reason
why monarchical countries can acquire
foreign possessions and free countries
must content themselves with the terri
tory they live upon.

there had been trouble between Mr..

Three members OF the company have

he may join the Kendals. Mr.. Weaver

Miss Gallatin has signed with Charles
