THE DISPATCH AND THE TARIFF

THE Richmond, Va. DISPATCH In
its issue OF the 2Sth ult., reproduces
the following clipping and says:
The Washington Post epitomizes the
argument against free Coal by saying
that that phrase means the sentimental
qualification of few well-meaning theo-
rists. 1t means also the bereavement
and distress of a hundred thousand
American workingmen. 1t means the
Gripping of railroads by the score, the
over-population of the poor-house, the
hospital, and the prison, the deepening
of industrial stagnation, and the multi
plication of the prevalent misery"
1t endorses the above in language
that is unmistakable when it adds
So there is much more in that cry than
some of our Virginia contemporaries
are willing to concede. We call the par
ticular attention of these Virginia ex-
changes to the statement that fres coal
means "the crippliDg OF railroads" We
have heretofore touched upon this sub
lest. What would the people along the
line OF the Norfolk and Western railroad
say if there were only one train day
passing over that road Look at the
figures, and see if that is not a possible
result ofputting coal on the freelist.
Who is striving then by this act of

President CLEVELAND has stated
that no more post-otiice nomina-
tions will be sent to the Senate until
that body has acted upon those al
ready before it for the state OF New
York. The Democratic ofice-seek-
ers experienced a dull sensation in
the region OF the heart and immedi-
ately became afflicted with "that

ANOTHER DIPLOMATIC BLUM.
DERER.

1t Is reported that Hon. HENRY M
SMYTHE, of Graham, Va, who was
sent by President CLEVELAND as
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
PlenipotentiarJ Minister to hayti
has rendered himself unacceptable
to that government by his meddling
with the methods In vogue there,
and making recommendations re-
fore he was asked so to do.
The possibility is that Mr.. SMTTHE
will be recalled and allowed to again
enjoy himself in the back-woods oil
the mountainous lands OF Virginia.
1t will be remembered that Afro
American representatives to this
black republic were said to have
been lacking in the essential quail
ties necessary to complete diplo-
matte success, and that white men
should be sent there, as they could
command more respect and secure
concessions to this government
which could not be obtained by an
IAfro-American representative.
This opinion was no doubt due to
the feeling of awe which exists In
some portions of the South among
the colored people when they come
lin contact with members OF the
white race.
But the Haitiens are educated IN
France, along with white men
