Did Not Dine the Negro.

From the Richmond Dispatch, March 10Th. ]
A telegram sent cut from Washington has
appeared in several Of the northern papers
stating that on Friday Governor Q'Ferrall
entertained colored man at dinner at the
Executive Mansion. The Governor did not
entertain eolored man at dinner at the Ex=
ecutve Mansion or nywhere else.
The facts of the incident the telegram re-
fers to, and which have been greatly distort-
ed, are these: When the Massachusetts, leg
islative committee, who have been making a
tour of the South, looking into manufacture
ing interests, were in Richmond they were re-
oeived by the Governor at the mansion. The
function was entirely an official, and not q
aocial one, Oh the part of the Governor. He
did not know that there was negro in the
party until he entered the parl0r to meet the
committee. In anticipation of the visit he had
directed his butler to have light refreshments
that is, cold lunch-ready in the dining
room. When he invited the white members
of the committee to partake of the refresh
ments, the colorsd member, much to the Gov
errors surprise joined them. The Governor
led the way to where the refreshm ents were
served, and was not aware that the negro had
reached the room until the whole party had
entered it.

Two years ago $4,000 was spent in the i'm

the center OF the road-hed. good side bitches
were cut, and BOX cnlverts placed at every

places has been cut through by heavy wagons.
The culverts and bitches have filled with
mud, and water In consequence stands in
pools on the roadbed. Now by the timely
expenditure of say $500, in filling up the ruts.

THE SITUATION JUST 4 LITTLE
STRONGER.

Not great deal, but enough to be dis
tinctly marked The important part about
it is that the financial bottom of the ship
feels stronger. The abnormal drafts on
the Treasury for gold for foreign shipment
have ceased. though the delivery of gold to
the Treasury by the foreign syndicate who
bought the bonds has not yet commenced.
The delivery is held in terrorem over spec
ulatOrs in foreign exchange. This is hay
ing tonic effect on the country, and there
isamarked Improvement in
confidence, that happy condition in affairs
that can never exist where the financial
situation is in doubt. The Improvement
is evidenced in the advance of II cents in
wheat, cent in corn. 81 .25 in pork, and a
tenth of cent and third of cent on
hogs and lard. The better feeling with
the railroads continues, little of it clOse
to home, in the Chesapeake & Ohio return
ing to work, men who had been laid off.
AT banquet in London last week, the
President of the Board of Trade of that
city said the English trade with the United
States was distinctly reviving, more par
ticularly in Yorkshire, and there was rea-
son to hope that the improvement would
extend to other branches Of their trade.
And lastly, we see the statement Of Hon.
Taylor Ellyson of Richmond. one of the
soundest and most far seeing business NEIL
in our State, that the country is about en-
tering on at least two years of prosperity
which will begin during the Spring months
of 1895. Altogether things look better this
week than last, and far better than they did
month ago. There has been no set back
anywhere, and wherever there has been any
change at all it is for the better-a very
different situation from 1898 when every
week things went a little farther down,
than the week before.

we hesitate about the experiment. We
have not formed the same high opinion of
the officers of the American company that

known nothing whatever of them. but if
they are getting prices that ought to be

FRIDAY MORNING. MAR. %. 1895.
WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC PARITY
us AT'

WHERE THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY
us At"
A good many Democrats talk as if it
would be very, very long time before
their party comes into power again. Tie
length of time largely rests with them
selves.
The Democrats in 1895 are precisely
where the Republicans were in 1891. Both
dismal situations resulted from being false
to the pledges their parties had given the
people.
The Republicans in 1889 went into power
las the Democrats did in 1889 with both
houses. They had promised the people
economy in government; they added $7O,-
600, 600 to the pensions. They had prom
ised the people revised tariff; they gave
them the Mckinley bill, and they abolish
ished the duties on sugar, about the only
tax that gets into the Treasury. They had
promised the people a national adminlstra-
ton; they came within one vote of making
the Force bill law. The result was that
in 1890 the people turned them out of the
House of Representatives and two years
later out of the Presidency and the Senate.
The Democrats went into power in 1898
with both houses. They had promised the
people tariff reform; they passed the Cor
man tariff bill. They had promised the
people sound financial legislation; they
opposed the President in every step he took
in that direction. They had promised the
people such legislation as might be most
likely to lift the weight of hard times
from their shoulders; they sullenly sat i'll
their seats in resistance to the head of their
party and would adopt no legislation at
all. They promised the people to repeal
that makeshift" the Sherman silver coin
age bill; they sat there for months talking
about it before they would do anything at
all. The result was that in 1894 the people
buried them under even greater majority
than they had buried the Republicans four
years before. This additional majority
was thrown against them because unable to
agree on anything themselves, they were
still unwilling to follow their President.
The Republicans had done many foolish
things in 1890, but nothing so silly as to
make war on their own administration.
Those Democrats who desire to know
"where they are at" may read the above
parallel histories. 1t will teach them
that the country has put their party upon
its good behavior. When it again deserves
victory it will get it.
