WHAT TILLMAN TELLS.
He Says the Silver Democrats VIII
Not Follow n sOund-Money Man.
CVashinPton SnecfaI in New York Her

ADJ
Senator Tillman, the free-slver Demo-
cratic leader Of South Carolina, has re-
turned to Washington from a trip through
the South. more determined than ever
20 make a fight for free coinage at the
Democratic convention in Chicago.
The Senator talks much more freely OF
boiling the convention in the event OF
the control Of that organization by the
gold men than he did before he left Wash
ington. He leaves no doubt that 50 FAR
as he and his following in South Carolina
are concerned, they will not follow a
sound-mOney man on a sound-money
platform, but propose 20 vote for free
silver.
Wherever have been. It is IS TO / or
bust" said Mr.. Tillman to-day. Every
whore the sentiment is practically the
same"
do you think there would be much OF
"A bolt at Chicago should the cOnyen-
ton be for gold, and nominate a gold
man?'
Il think the whole South and West
would walk out The border States can't
stay in the party on gold platform. In
the Southern States. it's free silver on
one side, and RepubIcanism on the
other"
do you think the silver men will con-
troll AT Chicago?'
"Oh, yes; they are almost sure TO be In
CONTROL
The Senator was asked what he thought
Of Chairman Harrity's threat that would
be boilers may be barred from the Ma
tional Democratic Convention.
"Harrity's buster" he said, viii have
no more effect on the national conven-
ton than Michigan Doodle. He forgets
that he is not the master Of the Demo-
cratic party. and is only its servant.
True Democracy is in no humor 10 be
b.uffed by gold-bugs or other bugs"
The first Of the Tillman badges has
shown up at the capital. II is a silver
pitchfork. with three prongs. and on each
prong is impaled a gold-bug. On the
handle OF the pitchfork is "Tillman," and
the gold-bugs impaled on the prongs are
labelled. Sherman Carlisle" and
cleveland" The badges are being turned
out by an Atlanta concern at the rate Of
hundreds a day. and are being worn ex-
tensively in the South.

LOUISIANA PONDERS. TOO.

AT the ensuing election the people OF
Louisiana are TO vote upon .the question
Of hi wing constitutional convention. A
few months ago the party seemed TO De
quite unanimous for II. but we now read
In the New orleans papers that many are
beginning to doubt the policy OF having
a convention at this time.
Their situation is similar 70 ours. They
fear that the Democratic party will divide
at Chicago, and are apprehensive lest the
constitutional convention should fan into
the hands OF a combination Of Republ-
cans and Populists.
We can understand their feelings and
fears I'm this matter. Here in Virginia we
are confronted with much the same con-
ditions. So greatly has our situation
changed since the Legislature adjourned.
we undertake to say without fear OF sue
ccssful contradiction that IL the Legisla
ture were now in session its vote on this
question would be very different from
what II was few months ago.
The Democratic party of Virginia has
plenty of troubles Of another sort on
hand at this time without adding thereto
this But all the same we must face this
question in its preliminary form at Staun-
ton. OR shall we dodge it altogether, or
s,dctrack IL upon a special convention, or
I,ess absolute judgment against con-
Etitutional convention?
Something We must do but what? This
s. an inquiry that We have frequently
made Of late. and usually without getting
m. answer
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-05-27

The Dispatch cannot but reiterate its
cItcn-expressed opinion that IL would be
better for the buyers and sellers OF both
meat and milk for Richmond to establish
a meat and milk inspection.
We think II would be better for buyers,
because then we should have guaran-
tee that our milk and meat would be in
spccted regularly 1t would be better,
We are sure. for the butchers and dairy
men. because then they would not have
10 contend with rumor and SANDER.
Then. all the year round. our slaughter
pens and dairies would be regularly in
s?ccted, and we should have public Of
. fcers certificate that the meat and milk
offered for sale here are healthful and
good.
Indeed, we believe tho time is coming
when our butchers and dairymcn will beg
and cntrcat the City Council 20 establish
t'ls inspection. so that their business may
lproceed without such prejudice and sus-
picion as now exists against ii.
From the cattle that one sometimes
sees driven through the streets. il can
not be doubted that many OF the cows
and hullocks brought here for butchering
ste"fn"an unhealthy condition, and we
all know Cor feaD the mierobe theory SUI
Recently % dread TO drink milk from cows
that may possibly be afflicted with tu-
berculosis.

THE AGRICULTURAL PROBLEM.

The average reader will perhaps be sur
prised to find in the leading journal OF
our largest city the declaration that
there is no problem of craftsmanship
quite so difficult to deal with as the pre-
vailing agricultural Distress" In Eng
land. after a session Of the House OF
Commons of unexampled length and tur-
bulence, bill has been passed to third
reading lessening the burden OF taxation
borne by the land. The New York Jour
nal of Commerce quotes statistics from
Germany. France. and other countries,
but we shall be content 10 quote from
England:
an addition TO the land-tax OF some
sl0,0000)0. and the inhabited house duty
of from $4,000 to 100000 year going
into the Imperial Exchequer, lands and
houses are required to defray the whole
cost of local taxation, including such
items as the maintenance of roads, the
relief of the poor. public schools, notice,
drainage. and water supply, and aggre-
eating about S50,0O0,OO0 a year Since
farming became unprofitable-since the
English wheat-grower found himself
Obliged to compete with every country
which. by possessing better climate.
fresher soil, or a cheaper supply of labor
than his own, was able to undersell
hm'-the land devoted TO agriculture
has been less and less able to pay its
share of this burden. Not even a con-
servative government could dare to pro-
pose a revival of the corn laws. but it
has evidently done what 1t could In miti-
cation of taxation"
This is indeed a discouraging showing.
1t holds out no ground for hope that
Englands rich fields will ever again be
what they once were

For n Constitutional Convention.


We see no cause TO fear the submission
Of the question 10 the people; but, on the
other hand, as the Review has heretofore
contended, the endorsement Of that mea-
sure by the Stanton convention will gain
the party thousands Of votes In the State.
We see no reason for backing down be-
fore Republican opposition. We believe
our party should align itself in favor OF
the convention, and on the issue meet
their enemies.
To do otherwise seems cOwardly and a
complete show of the white feather i'm the
face Of the foe, whose batteries are now
trained on this Democratic measure.
We believe the people Of the two large
counties Of Pittsylvania and Halifax re-
fleet the sentiments Of a large majority
of the white people Of the State; and II
so. the convention question would be car
ried by a large majority.
When n comes time 90 elect the mem
bers OF the convention we can trust the
people TO select their wisest. best men.
They will do IT, They have too much in
telligence TO do otherwise.
We may be wrong but II will require
very different argument from any we
have seen 10 change our mind on this
question.

THE CHICAGO CONVENTION.
4 scheme TO Nominate Teller for
President. IL SiIycritcs Control.
(Spcclal to New York Sun)

Especial to New York SUM
WASHINGTON. May pa prominent
member of the Cleveland Administration,
an Assistant Secretary of one of the
great departments. said to-day that he
had just discovered. TO his great sur
prise and somewhat to his consterna-
ton, that a scheme is on foot TO bring
about the nomination Of Senator Teller
by the Democratic convention. at Chicago,
il the anti-silver men fail TO control it,.
The plan has been known and talked
about in Washington for some days, and.
strangely enough. Democrats generally
seem to think pretty well Of it. What
is stranger stin. the Republicans don't
seem TO like 1t at all. They are fearful
that If Teller should be nominated he
would be very strong in the Middle States,
as a protectionist, and very strong in
the South and West a a free silVerite,
thus putting it upon the shoulders OF the
eastern Republicans to defeat him.
The administration men do not, OF
course. admit that the Chicago conven-
ton will be controlled by the silverites
and they are careful not to do or say
anything that could possibly interfere
the denomination of Cleveland. If Tel
Ter should be nominated by the Demo
Gratis, 1t would give the Cleveland men
a better excuse for boiling the convention
than they have at present. Their plan
is TO make the silverites boilers, if
any boiling is 10 be done. and they are
very much disturbed, therefore. about the
talk as to the possibility OF Teller's nomi-
nation on a free-silver platform. The
national committee will make it their
especial business to put the brand OF
boilers upon the silverites.
Senator Brice does not admit that any
Importance attaches to the report from
Ohio that the primaries indicate the tri-
umph Of the silver men. He says that
the counties so far carried by the oppo-
nents Of sound money have always been
silver counties, and that there is no sig
nificance whatever in the results there.
The Senator had a long talk with seve-
raj prominent Ohio Democrats to-day. one
of whom was Ex-Governor Campbell. who
has been here for several days. He left
for home on the afternoon train. and he
and the Ohio delegates are OF the opinion
of Senator Brice, that the sound-money
men have a good lighting chance Of carry
ing the Ohio convention. II they do.
they will pledge themselves 10 vote for
Campbells nomination

Patriotic interest in Mount Vernon is

Of the estate and the restoration OF its

commended. Many OF the vice-regents
annually contribute $50 20 the endow-

they bring other aid from their States.
In some states HdiD-Wiut NhiAlibAAAhliH

OF the Virginia schools do this II would
prove an object-lesson. resulting in a

TILE SITItTION.

We have said recently several things
about the Republicans and their inten-
tions, but we wish TO give place again
to the following from our leader of Weu-
nesday. We quote:
"To our mind. it grows clearer ana
clearer every day that the st. Louis
convention will adopt a goldite platform,
so decisive, strong, clear. and unequivo-
cal that the Republican silver States
win have to decide forthwith whether
they will submit or bolt. The Repub-
leans. we think. viii prefer to let go
their silver States, and play for the votes
of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
Maryland, and Delaware"
This is evidently the Republican pro-
gramme. They will abandon the silver
States. and play for the votes Of New
York. New Jersey, New England, Mary
land. and Delaware.

Heart and Mind.

Ny heart and mind were having a chat,
And question abstruse was the theme;
And although / am dazed as TO final re-
suits.
I remember, as though in a dream.
Methinks that the question was love and
its joys
It's Joys and its SORROWS combined:
And while heart quite decided that love
was a bliss.
1t was thus contradicted BY mind:
ITS myth, a delusion, a snare. and
fraud,
And is foreign to reason or sense;
The heart that aspires TO be honest and
true
Must expunge such vain passion from

Then my heart. with smile on its quiy-

And touched by the passion divine.
Stopped low, and with exquisite, innocent
grace.

Blushed deep as a girl In loves exquisite

And murmured: my case / repeal"
