THE NEW YORK Herald says: "The re
will be new tariff bill of a very ex-
IRENE and drastic kind unless the bust
ness community and the general COM
munity, seeing how their promised
prosperity is imperilled, support, and
support heartily its opponents" Why
of course there will, and that too,
whether either the business or the gen.
eral community opposes it. A drastic
tariff Mr.. Mckinley has always favored,
and on it he laid more stress during his
late campaign than on any other ques
tion at issue. Every reasonable and we'll
informed man knew, as we'll before the
election as he does now, that if success
should attend the republican ticket, a
high tariff bill would be enacted as soon
as possible. The Herald, which as.
sumes to be both reasonable and we'll
informed, did all it could to elect Mr..
Mckinley, but its opposition to the
Legitimate and necessary consequence
of the success of the obi ect for which it
strove, is we'll calculated to throw
doubt upon the substantially of that
assumption.

Company by the Ryan syndicate. 1t
is now stated authoritatively that the

one of the largest and finest of her
type, and will be built for great speed.

ALL THE Virginia Congressman, e1-
cept Mr.. Tucker, interviewed on the
subject, are. as might naturally have
been expected, entirely opposed to the
re-revived project for adding Alexan-
dria to the District OF Columbia. Mr..
Tucker, however, says "the needs Of
the Capital require the territory, Vir
ginia does not need it, the government
has to spend money for the bridges
crossing the river and should control
every thing around those bridges, and
that he believes the legislature would
cede it back without any serious oppo'
sition." Mr.. Tucker is as much at
variance with the people of his State on
this matter as he was with those of his
party at the late election. Virginia not
only needs the territory, but the legisla-
ture will never consent to relinquish it.
Virginia has already been robbed OF
one.third of her territory, and will re-
sort to all the available means at her
disposal to prevent the robbers from
stealing any more. In respect of poll
tics as of morals, it seems that the first
wrong step is almost necessarily fol-
lowed by others. That a native born
Virginian should favor the further
despoliation of his own State is posi-
lively unnatural.

A CURIOUS ACCIDENTAL fatal
wreck from very peculiar cause oc-
cured on the the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern Railway, at the east edge
of Hamden, near Chillicothe, Ohio, yes
terday afternoon. The fast westbound
express, in charge of engineer Cutler
and Conductor Thomas Brown, was
entering Hamden, going forty-five
miles an hour. just as Cutler whistled
for the station the engine struck COW.
She was thrown against switch with
force enough to open it. The engine
took the switch track, while the
coaches kept on the main track. The
engine jumped the track, ran into the
bank and overturned the tender. The
coaches struck the tender which lay
partially across the main track, and
jumped to another siding where they
encountered car of shelled corn. The
baggage and postal cars also left the
track. Michael King, postal clerk, of
Cincinnati, was buried in the shelled
corn and smothered to death. o. h.
Smith, postal clerk, also of Cincin natl,
sustained fractured rib and was in
jured internally, so badly that be may
die. Postal Clerk Shannon, of Ciucin.
natl, was seriously injured. Conductor
Brown was badly bruised in the abdo-
men and narrowly escaped death. None
of the passengers was much injured.
