OPENING OF THE IRON GATE.

The crowning event Of the Hungarian
millenial was the opening Of the Iron
Gate Of the Danube. where engineering
skill has at last overcome what were
considered almost insurmountable diff
culties to navigation Of the river by large
vessels. The ceremonies incident to the
occasion, the bearing Of the improve
ment on the commercial development OF
South Central Europe, and the details
Of the engineering work were the sub
jects Of numerous letters and articles at
the time, but It is only within the last few
days that public attention seems to have
been prominently directed to the possible
effect the clearing of the gate may have
upon the balance OF power in Europe
and the extension Of Austro-Hungarian
Influence.
The Iron Gate Is at Orsova. just where
the Danube. after skirting Servia on the
north from Belgrade, turns southwark
and then eastward again TO form boun-
dairy between Roumania and Bulgaria,
The former lies TO the north and the
latter to the south of the river which
debouches into the Black Sea.
For many years Austria-Hungary has
not made much mark as a military power,
but there is no question as to her success
in diplomacy. Wherever heI diplomats
have come in contact with the diplomats
of other European nations. they have

r,,,a NpcnoFYrNG SCHEME.

We find the Richmond Times wincing
NIGHTLY under the Dspatchs plain pre-
sentation of the fact that the boss
Rolters arc holding conferences with the
Republican leaders to discuss plans 10
negrofy Virginia. and that our state Is
now menaced with all the dangers OF
coalition. of which the blacks viii form
the greater part.
That Brady. Waddill, Allan d Co.sare
working IN concert with the boss Boilers
Il would be useless for any one to at
tempt TO deny. That they are doing II
with the hope of carrying Virginia for
Mckinley is too absurd TO credit. Then,
the only supposable object of their pres
ent work must be 10 smash the Demo
cratic organization in this state, so as
10 make way for coalition victory next
year. when a Governor, Legislature, and
United States senator are TO be elected;
when. In short. they hope TO throw the
negro vote so that the Democratic party
will be crushed and put out OF power In
tho Old Dominion for many years TO
come.
This Is what we should call negrofylng
Virginia. when the political power in this
State is put into the hands OF a party
sive sixths OF whose members are
negroes. then will our State be negrohcd;
then viii the authority of the blacks be
displayed In electing our officers and
making our laws And Ia this scheme
the Republicans appear to have the sup
port. encouragement, and, 10 large ex-
tent. the guidance Of the boss Boilers.
First. we have seen the Boilers striving
20 divide and weaken the Democratic
party. Thus they have repudiated the
primary election pledge. II the doctrines
that the Boilers hold to are good. then
there can DO no more Democratic prl-
mary elections In Virginia. because no.
body will be bound by thera. and with
i cut primary elections how can we con-

HE STOOD BY THEM.

We have received letter from loco
motive engineer on the Southern railroad,
In which he Indignantly repudiates the
position taken by Chief Arthur, Of the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
who has come out for Mckinley. He says
truly that the long standing need of rail-
road men is arbitration, and that the
Democratic platform is the only one that
promises them that Mr.. Bryan person
ally. we think, is a platform in himself
for railroad men. When he was in Con-
gress in 1893 a bill was before 1t to re-
ouire roads engaged in interstate COM
merce to use automatic car-couplers and
other appliances for the safety OF their
employees. 1t was fought by the rail-
roads, and there were a score of we'll
paid railroad attorneys there to oppose It.
The following is an extract from speech
delivered by Mr.. Bryan on February Ast
in behalf OF the bill:
81 for one am willing to stay here till
this session ends. because l think this Dill
should be passed. l believe it is dictated
by humanity. and / am not willing, II !
can prevent it, that these men shall be
killed and manned just because some OF
the railroads insist that they cannot af-
ford TO put these couplers on their cars
The only objection that ! have heard
made. the only real one in that letter OF
Mr. Haines found on our desks this,morn-
ing, Is that II would cost SIS car, OF
s7s 900 900. Some 1900 persons have been
injured. Those of us who have associated
with these men know that there Is scarce
iy one Of them employed for any length
OF time in railroading who does not have
hand off, or fingers off, or foot Oft, OF
is not manned In some way, and we have
had produced here proof Of the startling
number killed Now l ask, Mr.. Speaker
does IL not appeal to US. who are members
OF the only body whicr can give this re-
lief because the States are poweriess-
does IL not appeal to us, and to our hu
manity. TO pass such laws as VIII give
protection TO the lives and limbs or tnes'
people?'
Is II not true that man holding tnos'
views is a platform within himself 10

IMPORTATION rHAT You NEED

The Virginia Legislature, at its last ses-
sion, amended our election law in an i'm
portant particular. The booth system and
official ballots remain, but. to simplify the
marking OF the ballot. the names Of the
presidential electors are grouped under
the names Of the candidates they repre-
sent, and we vote for them by indicating
our presidential and viee-presidential
preferences. Thus, to vote for Bryan and
sewsn you have only to scratch the
names of all other presidential and Vice
presidential candidates. See illustration
on page /.
The names Of electors must not be touch
ed. Leave them alone. Don't scratch any
electors name. Let all remain as printed;
but scratch. e., mark through, with pen
or pencil-the names OF all candidates for
President and vice-President, except
those of william Jennings Bryan and
Arthur Sewall.
The ballot we print Is, OF course not
a fac-simile of the official ballot; nor can
we say that the several tickets VIII be
printed on the Official ballot in the order
that we present them. Nevertheless the

sist the conviction that 1t Is going inc

II is falling into strange hands-the nanus
of great monopolies. trusts. corporauohs'
and interests. They have mined the very
foundation OF the government. begisia-
lures are elected by them, Congresses
are elected by them, senators are chosen
bv them. and Presidents have become
their instruments. 1t is fact that no

within the government Itself In nothing
has this been better illustrated than IN
silver legislation, the antitrust lesisla-

railroads. The people achieve an apparent
victory, but in the end 1t proves but

We believe that a very great part OIL

they are to get in his election a man OIL

who, when elected, will not be FAR from

for a man TO be, for it Is undeniable tha'
in the minds Of the people these two CHIEF
magistrates have in the last eight years
taken the government as far from those
in whom the theory Of the republic says
IT originates as it was possible to do.
The want Of the hour is to have new
man at the head Of affairs in Washington
ono who will have the courage to throw
all the weight Of his Office on the SIDE OF
the people, and who viii be the PLAIN
spoken enemy of these new and DAN
gerous forces that have gotten control OF
the government to the oppression OF the
people: a man who will take his ideas OF

washington, and not wait till he gets
there to learn them by sitting at the feet
of political managers and trusts and cor
porations.
1t is this hope for great reform IN

finance that creates the intense enthusi'
asm of the people in this struggle, and
their intense belief that they have at last
found the man to do it.

money club on last Friday week, as II
was announced they would by unsigned
posters. and they haven't met yet, al
though your correspondent was assured
they would do so. Now. just what was

to know, but appearances here, as well
as elsewhere, go a long way. Unfortu-
nately. on the day above mentioned, the
young and energetic organizer could only
be accommodated with mule and a
Jumper with which to lead his many
''gold converts" to the grand rally. But
these converts failed TO follow. and con-
sequently didn't rally around the leader,
who inmdiciously kicked on paying the
farmers price of $50 per day for the
rie. which kick must have done the cause
of Bryan and Sewall lots of good among

Edward Atkinson ON Value OIL


To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
A few days ago the Times published
letter from Mr.. Atkinson on the value
OF money.
1t is true this gentleman Is considereu
an authority on finance, but he must 90
better than he aid In this letter " ne
wishes to be recognized as an authority.
Any one with a little reasoning can see
Mr.. Atkinson attempted to prove some
thing he could not, hence he contradicts
himself several times.
Congress was empowered ITO coin
money and regulate the value thereof, ana
of foreign coin"
Now then, II It can regulate the valve
of foreign coin (and Mr. Atkinson says
1t CAM. Is not the same power given TO
regulate United States coin?
II Congress had power in 1873 to say
that the gold coin OF the United states
shall be a one dollar gold-piece, which,
at the standard weight OF 25S grains shall
be the unit OF value" hasn't IL the same
right (and power TO now say 3IiA grains
pure silver shall be dollar?
Mr.. Atkinson says: ''In 1894, AZ the IN
stance OF Jackson and Benton, sucn
changes were made as 10 establish gold
as the standard, or unit OF value" mat
is not true. and Mr.. Atkinson knew Il was
not when he wrote It. Mr.. Atkinson can
not find on the records OF Congress where
| the unit OF value was ever anything but
| 371A grains OF ssilver for a dollar nor can
| he show that this unit OF value was ever
changed until the act OF 1873, in section
IA. which says "the unit value Of dollar
shall be a gold piece Of 25.S grains stand
ard weight"
In the table Nr. Atkinson gives as hav-
ing been taken from Review OF tho
Worlds Commerce. lately published. he
tries to show that silver has fallen, while
| gold has "of course remained at uniform
price"
It will be noticed that he only takes
four years and begins with 1892. Now
will the gentleman Of he wishes to state
facts and prove he Is right give us foul
years prior to 1873 in a table showing
the value OF these same coins?
>, No one can prove that America, the
greatest nation under the sun, and the
United States. the garden spot OF the
world, the land OF liberty and light, was
not builded upon bmetallism as It's money
basis / am sorry so learned gentleman
as Mr. Atkinson. should attempt TO mis-
lead the people by so biased a statement
