Death of Mai. John Poe, jr.

Maj. John Poe, jr., for more than %
years Chief of Police of Richmond died
at $40 p. m, Tuesday, June 18th, aged
67 years, 10 months, and II day, from
the effects of stroke of paralysis about
ten days before his death.
He was a vigilant and efficient Chief
of Police. The Richmond State, in
speaking of him as an officer, says
''He was ever careful, conscientious
and fearless in the performance of his
duty. When, only few weeks ago, he
declared with pardonable pride, that
during his entire time of incumbency
no criminal act of serious Importance
had been perpetrated within his lines
of jurisdiction that the guilty parties
had not been speedily brought to JUS
tice, he spoke but the bare truth. The
police force his direction maintained
the reputation of being one of the best
disciplined bodies of it's kind in the
United States.
During his career he had to deal with
more than few criminals of note, some
of the cases being among the most cele-
brated in police records. Principal
among those were the cases of Jeter
Phillips and Thomas j. Cluverius, the
murderers; old man Marvin, the forger
and bigamist; Horace Haven, one of
the shrewdest crooks that ever came to
this city; Broken Nose George" a
burglar of wide note; Shaw, the notori-
Gus craftsman and Frank Lockwood
Smith, the gold-brick swindler."

May Get a high Tariff.

The IaadeG-Appeal says, lit is prob
able and doubtless right that the
duties on some imports should be rails
ed-but for purposes of revenue main
ly. Of course there will be incidental
protection of American manufactures
and American workingmen; but there
should be no return to the high tariff
which existed under the Mckinley act
and prior to that time. And yet it is
possible that the Republicans may be
able to take advantage of the dissen-
sions among the Democrats on the
financial question and compel the en-
actment of legislation that will virtn-
ally restore the high tariff which the
people repudiated in 1892. This is one
of the possibilities of the election next
year, and it may be an accomplished
fact if the Democrats persist in cutting
each others Threats in the utterly i'm
possible attempt to secure the free
coinage of silver.
The Republican plans have been laid
with great shrewdness, and the Demo
cratic party evidently is assisting in
their consummation by its laundering
course on the financial issue. We
shall not have free coinage of silver,
but we may haYe high tariff-and
those Southern and Western farmers
who were for years clamoring for a re-
duction in the prices of manufactured
goods, may lose the benefits of the low
tariff which they now enjoy in their
frantic and futile pursuit of the iqa1is
tatuats of free silver coinage, or I'M
limited cheap money.

Increased Trade With Hayti.

The Warrenton Virginian says, ''ac-
cording to published statement from
Henry M. Smythe, Minister Resident
and Coneul General of the United
States to Hayti, the trade of the
United States with that country is in
excess of eight millions dollars per an
mum. This is an increase of thirty per
cent. within the last eighteen months.
This it is said is largely owing to the
fact that the late tariff bill imposing a
duty of about four cents a pound on
coffee, imposed by the proclamation of
President Harrison, has been removed,
and the Haytian coffee, which is the
finest in the world, now enters our
ports free of duty. Heretofore all the
immense crop of coffee has been
shipped directly to Havre or Hamburg.
The four cents duty per pound having
been prohibited, with the natural re-
suit that when the product was shipped
to European ports the return was
made in European goods.
The cotton goods worn by the natives
of the interior were imported from
France originally, later from England,
and now very largely from the United
States. All the flour, tobacco, salt,
and fish, which constitute in a large
measure the food of the natives, all
lumber used in building of houses, and
latterly all coal consumed by the navy
and public works, all canned goods,
all wagons, carriages, and buggies

without exception. come from the

As was Expected.

Thos H. Parker alias Francis Lock
wood Smith, the gold brick swindler
who was released on bail in the sum of
$1,000 by Judge Christian, County
Judge of New Kent county, and after
wards by Judge Hughes, district Fed
eral Judge, in the sum of 500, after he
had been refused bail by several other
judges, has forfeited his bail bonds and
departed for unknown parts as it was
expected he would do.
We never knew of such inexcusable
conduct on the part of any Judges be-
fore. This criminal, about whose guilt
there is no doubt, should have been re-
fused bail in any amount, and should
have received the punishment he richly
deserves

ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF SILVER.
Treasury officials anticipate that the
payment of the Chinese war indemnity
of 200, 100000 taels will result in a ma
terial increase in the market price OF
silver. The present quotation of silver
is GIL cents an ounce, which is an ad
vance of four cents over the quotations
of a year ago. The price anticipates
to some extent the expected rise and is
also the result of the increased demand
caused by the war expenses of both
governments. At the present time
there are not exceeding 100000 ounces
of silver bullion in the United States,
outside of the amount owned by the
government. At the present price of
silver the amount required by China
would equal about $14S, 600 worth
of bullion.

Republican League Convention.


The New York Journal Of Commerce
says
mot Presidential candidate dared
appear at the Cleveland Convention of
the Republican League lest he should
be obliged to say something about the
only subject on which it is very inn
portant for the American people to
know the opinions of their public men.
The League itself avoided saying any
thing on the only subject on which it
is worth while for politician to speak
by alleging that the making of plat
forms was not its function. As to this
we are not competent to Judge; but if
this be true, it would seem to be a
waste of time and money to hold con-
ventions. By all the rules of political
usage the Cleveland Convention should
at least have taken it's stand on the
platform adop ed at Minneapolis three
years ago; but it did not even do that.
In the shaping of the resolutions the
balance of power seems to have been
slightly on the side of the piratical
crew that is trying to cheat every
workingman and every farmer and
every depositor in a savings bank and
every holder OF a life insurance policy
by making his claim for wages and
produce and money payable in dollars
worth only half as much as dollars are
now. If some Presidential aspirant
who knows perfectly well that the
single gold standard is being forced
upon the world by the worlds expert
ence with other standards would have
the courage Of his convictions and say
what he believes on the most i'm
portant issue that has been before the
country since that of union or dis
union, he would assure himself of a
permanent niche in the temple OF
fame. and he would be just as likely to
secure the Presidency as some of the
men who are trying to carry water on
both shoulders"

DODGE THE SILVER IssUE.-The re-

at Cleveland, o., Thursday, elected
Gen. E. A. McAlpin president by accla-
nation. Thos. Lowry was named as
the Virginia member of the executive
committee, and HI. DeClay as the Vir-
ginia vice president. The differences
over the silver question in the commit
tee on resolutions were finally, after
much discussion. bridged over by the
adoption by the committee of resolu-
ton offered by Senator Patton, of
Michigan, referring all resolutions In
relation to public questions to the re-
publican national convention of 1896.
The silver men agreed that if that was
done they would make no minority re-
port and no contest on the floor of the
convention.
