RICHMOND LETTER.
RICHMOND. Aprll l3,

RICHMOND, April Is. 1895.
| enclose clipping from one of our city
papers which will give you and y"ur
readers slight inside view as to how
things are run by the Superintendent OF
the Virginia State Penitentiary. The
Board of Directors during the late ses-
sion of the Legislature asked that the
powers Of the Superintendent should be
more restricted in the treatment and
management OF the guards, that the men
feared 10 give evidence or testimony in
anything concerning the management
however the Board wished to obtain in
formation, as the Superindent's; auto
cratic and tyranical power could be
exercised at his will and pleasure il they
should testify contrary to his interests,
and that their discharge was sire. It
seems they are not by him looked upon
as servants Of the State. but as the ser
wants of the Supt. and to serve his in
terests and help to keep him in phase. 1t
was we'll the Legislature did not have
the opportunity to go on with that in
vestigation, for some kind friends on the
committee managed to have it put of
until then, perhaps the service and the
State might have been benefited.

LYNN DECAPITATES,
Two Prison Guards Discharged
Without Cause.
r. L. GLENN,
L Il. HAYNES.

r. L. GLENN,
j. L. HAYNES,
Those two gentleman are on the black
list OF Superintendent B: VI. Lynn, tn,
aflable gentleman who is lord high pre-
slider over the little colony OF unfor-
Inmates in the penitentiary, and sole
and absolute monarch of nearly all he
surveys.
Socially. Mr.. Lynn is a most amiabl'
/ and pleasant gentleman. and i'm CONVEX
sation all that could be desired, but Mr.
Lynn is NapOleonieally ambitious, anC
wants to be boss" with large b. Half
way power doesn't suit him.
He wants the whole shooting match,
and generally gets it.
Once upon time Mr.. Glenn had
charge of the guards at night at the
penitentiary. For twentY-four years he
I has filled positions in the pententiary
capably under Democratic and Read
juster rule. He doesn't now. Mr.. Lynn
discharged him, and the State lost a
good official.
Mr.. Haynes was for several years 4
shop guard in charge OF the shoe depart
ment. He was eflicient-at least that is
what everybody says-and the Davis
shoe concern, which leases the shoe
shop I'm the pen agrees with every
body. The State does not pay his sal
arv any more, for the superintendent
gave h m a dose similar to the one that
Mr.. Glenn had to swallow.
Mr.. Haynes, however. is not suffering
for the necessaries of life, for As soon as
he was discharged by Mr.. Lynn the Da-
Wis Shoe Company employed him at
once-a proof Of his honessy and ef-
fcency.
Thlsis disagreeablc subject that is,
to Mr.. Lynn. Mr.. Lynn does not like
to talk about disagreeable subjects, and
thinks bygones should be bygones.
ANYHOW, the men are not under him
now. andth reason for their removal
are tightly locked in the warm and
placed bosom Of Mr.. Lynn, and he re-
fuses to unbOsom, eved for the benefit OF
the community at large, who have al
WAYS been under the impression that
that there is no such thing as a State
secret and that it should be kept in
formed of all that is going on. Mr..
Lynn thinks different.
He declined to tell Star reporter
this morning why the men were dis
charged. saying: 81 do not care to talk
about the matter 1t would done good.
| have the privilege Of hiring and dis
charging any of my people and merely
exercised my prerogatiye. can dis
charge and hire whichever think it
proper for the goo of the service. That
is all. Good day" And the interview
concluded with merry little twinkle
lurking in the corner Of the Superinten-
dents eye.
Ii is said that Mr.. Lynn made the re-
movals because Glenn and Haynes were
in sympathy with the HenricO repre-
sentatives in the Legislature, who wan
ted an investigation Of the penitentisry
and its methods; also favoring shesring
the superintendent OF some Ofhs powers
and yesting the appointing power in the
Board Of Visitors.
The men are not under Lynn, how
ever. any more, aud this is all the notice
or reason they had. Short and sweet
and sweet it read:
After March LIST your services will
no longer be needed at this institution"

THE FACTS THE CASE

In reply to an article Published in
various papers, concerning the establish
ing of Matrimonial Bnrean." 10
PoTtsmonth,we would like to make few
remarks.
In the first place the statement Is
erroneous and wholly without founda-
zion. The W. c. T. U. OF Portsmouth
has no such intention.
The president Of the Union at that
place positively denies such movement.
We quote the words of one Of our lnfnr-
mshts' 1.-The President and all OF Nor
folk District are indignant that s1ch
outrageous ialsehosds are Published"
We do no. know how 1t ever original
cd. BIT suffice to Say that the W. G.. T..
U. has higher motives in view than those
mentioned in the Article; therefore we
positively deny any sncb movement on
the part Of the w. c. T. u.
1he above IS sail upon the authority
OF the E'litor OF the Virginia Call and the
president OF the Portsmouth Union.

would only p irchase one doIlar'a
worth of goods?
There Is one class OF Poop = that
might be benefited by cheap
money. Thar is the debtor class.
Tue man that has borrowed ten
thousand dollars OF sound currency
and can pay that ten thousand
dollars with cheap legal tender
money that is worth only five
thousand dollars, would gain five
thousand dollars, and his creditor
would lose five thousand. While
the debtor would legally dis
charg. bis obligation, would
he not nolaliy rob bis creditort
That Is tbe only class OF people
that can in our opinion, be
benefited by cheap monty, and
they, in order to reap the
benefit, must become parties
to a transaction that is, at least,
morally questionable.

here and everywhere in the integrity o
our purpose. A doubt of that integrity
among the other great Commercial
countries of the world will moi only
cost us millions of money, but ihar
which, as patriots. We should treasur,
more higher, our industrial and com
mercial supremacy.
THE TARIFF.
My estimate of the statute of a pro-
tective policy has been formed by the
study of the object lessons of n great
industrial state extending over a per
iod of 30 years. 1t is that protection
not only builds up important industries
from small beginnings, but that those
ana all other industries flourish or
anguish in proportion as protection is
maintained or withdrawn. | have seen
1t indisputably proved hat the pros
perity of the farmer. merchant and all
other classes of citizens goes hand in
hand with that of the manufacturer and
mechanic.
am firmly persuaded that what we
need o of all to remove the business
paralysis that afflicts this country is
the restoration of a policy that. while
ai1ording ample evenu to meet the
expense of the government. will re
open American workshops on full time
and full handed. with their operatives
paid good wages in honest dollars. And
this can only come under a tariff which
will hold the interests of our own pep-
pie paramount in our political and com
mercial systems.
The opposite policy. which discour-
American enterprises, reduces ia
Dor to idleness. diminishes the earn
ings of American workmen. opens our
markets to commodities from abroad.
which we should produce at home,
while closing foreign markets against
our products, and which at the same
steadily augments the public debt,
increasing the public burdens. while di-
minishing the ability of the people to
meet them. is a policy which must find
its popularity elsewhere than among
American citizens.
