What Senator Daniel Says.

Ex-United States Senator John Martin,
OF Kansas. said on the 9Th TO San
Francisco newspaper reporter:
IF the Democratic party does not adopt
a platform in favor OF the free coinage
OF silver IL will not carry single state
In the Union. Senator Morgan. OF Ala
bama. told me lately that on any ether
sort OF a platform the Democrats would
be swamped by the Populists even In
that State. Senator Harris told me the
same thing OF Tennessee. and Cooper,
OF Georgia. and Daniel. of Virginia
Speaking Of Senator Daniel. we may
add. that he said day or two ago TO
Washington reporter that he believed the
next national Democratic PLATFORM
would contain no "straddie' in the imam

him in this view. and said. further. that

Among all the structures that make up
the human body the nerves have been untll
recently the least understood.
The role of the nerves in the digestion
and assimilation of food is a highly i'm
portant one. The question whether the
food shall nourish or become a mere load
upon the system is a question OF nerve
force.
Neglect to satisfy the demands made
by the nervous system carries heavy pen

Manchester Not n Beggar.
RICHMOND. VA. May Q. 1895


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
was glad to read your timely editorial
on the subject OF annexation of Manches-
ter this morning.
| expected that before this some one
would show the falseness Of the Majors
arguments against annexation, as his
whole argument was based on premises
Tor insinuations), which were not true.
He commenced by saying that II the
Chairman was rich, prosperous farmer,
owning splendid farm Of 400 acres
Uhe size OF Richmond. and had "a neigh
Dor owing a poor, unproductive, farm Of
600 acres (size OF Manchester. and that
neghbor came TO his prosperous friend
and asked that he be taken into equal
partnership. and be admitted 10 the en-
joyment Of his overlooking prosperity,
what would be the answer?
And from this illustra ton he took his
whole argument and drew his conclu-
sions.
Now what are the facts? Manchester is
not the poor, thriftless. beggar neighbor
10 which she has been likened; she has not
asked that she should be annexed, nor has
Ii been supposed for moment that an
nexation would be accomplished except
on fair and equitable basis
There is little need OF saying anything
as to the comparison of Richmond with
the rich. prosperous farmer. whose graz
naries are bursting with the plenutude
of his crops, and whose prosperity ~
so great as TO make him independent
of all his neighbors. Far be 1t from me
TO say aught against my native city,
but when any enquiring statistcan
scrutinizes the figures Of our Auditor
and gets down 10 the solid facts con-
corning her financial prosperity ! do
not think we will have cause Tor mucn
boasting. without going into details i
would say that the city debt has IN
creased in the past six years ABOUT as
much as the total valuation OF Man
chester realty. and the chairman or the
Finance Committee of this city mas re-
ported that our outgo has exceeoeu our
income every year for the past iour vi
more years TO an amount greater than
Manchester's entire income. Yes. IN some
wears double and treble that income,
Where then is our boosted richness and
prosperity? l..
II Is like that of some jewellers IN
brownstone fronts. TO whom the MAJOR
referred in his remaks, who are MAKING
a "show" year after year by charging
their incomes from proceeds OF notes

This will do for time, but the emu
cometh. 49, 49,,
The Majors premises then being false
his arguments which were earnest, lot
chile. and convincing, fall TO the ground
and should be answered by some ciuzen
Of Manchester who is able 10 cross

1,c.r.uu.-A Calm Review.

The President goes his own way and
trusts to time to set all things right.
He yentured. indeed. almost too far and
risked almost too much In the Hawaii
AFFAIR. But the result justified his policy.
though IL was severely censured before
IL had been fully developed.
So We need not fear that the President
went too far or not far enough In the
Nicaragua AFFAIR. Indeed. as one OF our
exchanges has remarked. the administra-
tion won moral victory over
both the empire OF Great Britain and
the little community which called down
upon its own head whatever chastise-
ment il received. A Chicago paper is
uncommonly gracious. and goes so FAR
as TO declare that the President IL en-
titled to the credit of having accom-
pnshed two objects in the ENHANCEMENT
Of Great Britain and Nicaragua-nameiy'
he has made her Majesty's government
realize the prudence Of voluntarily WIFI
drawing the British flag from Nicara-
guam soil as the only alternative TO an
ultimate compulsion by the Government
OF the United States 10 that end. ana
he has taught the unstable communities
Of South America and Central America
that the republic OF the United states
will not sustain any Of them In viola
ton of international law nor in prohigacy
as public or private debtors.
We like the Chicago Herald's assertion
that the withdrawal Of the British troops
from Nicaragua was "A virtual enforce
ment Of the Monroe doctrine; also. It's
assertion that Great Britain Will not
undertake 10 violate the Monroe doc
trine near the Nicaragua canal nor else
where on this continent. That's the way
In which We insisted all along that the
Nicaragua troubles would end. NOW We
quote the Chicago Herald;
The Monroe doctrine may be pro-
ncunoei obsolete, imperative. extinct

the purposes and policy of a nation that

but left one portion OF II deposit In the
national mind, 10 be enforced when occa-
zion shall arise. IL is enough that In one
more instance there Is virtual enforce

THAT the Monroe doctrine is live and

international Timetable Conference

In his recent speech In Detroit Comp
roller Eckels used the following signih-
sant language in describing the policy
81 the friends OF the free coinage OF sil-
yer. He said:
Their demand to-day. interpreted In
The light OF their acts. Is that the United
States shall at once abandon Its present
standard Of values and substitute there

GRAFTON OF any other country, single
silver standard. Nowhere Is IL suggested
by the sponsors for this latest tenet In
the silver creed that this nation shall
even undertake to maintain at home
a double standard. Nowhere Is their pro-
mise given OF an attempt through inter-
national agreement TO make every dol
lar Of silver which shall be coined the
equal In value TO every dollar OF gold
which comes from the mint ana fairly
INTERCHANGEABLE Herewith. They no
longer give recognition TO the TACT at
tested by every monetary union formed
ard conference held. that no nation can
isolate itself from those with which IL
has commercial dealings. and maintain.

The Comptroller objects In a single para
graph. FIRST. that the silverites propose

other country; secondly. that nowhere
Is their promise given Of an attempt
through International agreement to make
silver dollars equal 10 gold dollars: and.
thirdly. that no nation can maintain.
independent Of all other nations. dis
tnc,lye standard OF values.
These phrases might carry much mean
ing. IL Mr.. Eckels meant TO be under

held TO imply. then ne ought 10 act with
those Democrats who favor "co-opera-
ton with other countries: who also
