fact that when. in 1SS5-S6. the Government of
NJ. Tricoupis modified the troops Of Greece. the
cost was 125 100000 drachmas This ex-

RUSHING WORK ON NEW MINT.
Contract for Foundation Walls Will Soon
Be Lei.

WASHINGTON, April IS (SreciaD.-The
contract for the foundation and area walls
of the new Mint building at Philadelphia
will probably be let within the next month.
Acting Supervising Architect Kemper
stated to-day that the detail plans and
specifications necessary for bidders were
about ready and that the department
would advertise for bids in about two weeks.
The contract will be large one, as the
foundation walls are to be granite and will
necessarily be of the most substantial
character to sustain the marble super
structure with all the heavy machinery
required in the Mint. The heaviest of this
machinery will be placed in the basement.
Director of the Mint Preston said to-day
that the new building could not be erected
too speedily to meet the want of the Govern
ment, as the old building was entirely
inadequate and the force there is working
to disadvantage in very cramped quarters.
Had it not been for the Democratic policy
off holding back buildings authorized and
appropriated for by Congress the new
Mint would have been ready for occupancy
by this time

what they consider their Partially towards
Col. Browning.
What Cashier & Curran object tots, that
after all they have expended in time and
means in giving name and fame and popu-
larity to Pocahontas coal, and all that they
are now doing to keep it in the market,
against powerful and vindictive competi-
ton, and for which, up to this time, they
have not had the returns which the same
capital and energy would have obtained in
other fields; that individuals who have
done comparatively nothing, should profit
by their expense and labor and try to I'M
dermine them by promising the operators
an advance on what they are able to net
them, after charging a moderate guarantee
commission.
1t is discouraging to those who have la
bored hard to get capital to come into Vir-
ginia to develop our resources, to find,
that after the investments have been made
and comparative prosperity brought to
different sections, and some OF our people
lifted from the very deformity Of poverty,
for themselves, their wives and children,
that there are among us, those who would
excite the envy and jealousy of the people
against them.
1t will be dark day for the Flat Top
coal section if the present arrangement with
Cashier & Cunan is broken up. They are
not monopolists, They merely demon
strate to us that in union is strength and
that the weak and struggling operators, by
pooling their productions, will prevent an
unhealthy competition among themselves,
and thus be able to meet, with some de-
gree of success, the fierce competition OF
the outside world. NIRGINIAN.

On the last ballot the vote was: Deboe,
II; Blackburn, 80; Martin, IS; Stone, 1,
The Republicans had nominated candi-
dates four times for the office. Hunter
was nominated first and withdrew. St..
John Boyle was nominated after Hunter
withdrew When the late, extra session.
was convened by Gov. Bradley, Hunter
was nominated again. Many ballots were
taken. but he could not secure an election.
Then came his second withdrawal, which
was succeeded by the nomination and cleo
ton of Deboe The newly elected Senator
stands squarely on the st. Louis platform,
for high protective tariff and sound
money. This is the first time in the his
tory of Kentucky that Republican Sena-
tor has been elected from that State to the
Senate. His party at Washington needs
him. There is deadlock there which
Deboe may be able to break. With him
seated the Republicans will have 43 staunch
men in the Senate. There are vacancies
in Oregon and Florida, and "A votes will

A GREAT DANGER.

Too much cannot be said or written
about the Importance of the State constitu-
tional convention question that is to be
passed upon at the election on the fourth
Thursday in this month The REPUBLICAN
has sought earnestly to awaken its readers
to the danger that confronts the voters of
Virginia. DANCE" that threatens to de-
stroy the most sacred right that belongs to
freemen-the right to vote. There is a
class of men or politicians in Virginia who
claim to be Democrats, but who are plot
ting to destroy in our State one of the
cardinal doctrines of the old time Democ-
racy-universaI manhood suffrage. Their
object is to disfranchise a large number Of
the voters of Virginia by constitutional
provision restricting suffrage. They are
advocating property and educational quail
ifications for voting, not for any good that
will accrue to the public, but for the fur
therance of their nefarious designs to re-
tain absolute control of the politics and of
fees of the State. They try to conceal
their real purpose by the specous plea OF
securing more economical administration
of our State government
The horns and hoofs are too conspicuous
for them to successfully disguise their sa-
tatanic scheme. In some sections of the
State they do not try to hide their true OBJ
iect-the Acknowledgement of the illiterate
and poor men, white and colored. They
hope to win, and success may be secured by
/. }carelessness or Indifference Of the vo-
ters to the situation We have no doubt
the usual frauds upon the ballot box will
also prevail in the black belt in furtherance
of these plans. Every true man in the
Commonwealth, be he Democrat or Re-
publican, ought to awaken to the danger
which threatens free suffrage in Virginia.
Are we to have popular government or a
government controlled by few, pre-
ferred class of citizens? Shall the mon
strous scheme of Martin, Otey and other
uicksters win? Let the freemen of Taze-
well give a tremendous vote against the
undemocratic and unrepublicau effort to
disfranchise large class of our citizens.

In an interview in London on the 9th

Democracy will do. In 1892, it was pos
sessed of a strong form of Cleveland luna

A SENSIBLE VIEW.
A Southern Sound Money Newspaper
States the Situation Correctly.
Richmond Times, Dem.l

Richmond Times, Dem.
A Washington correspondent says that
the sound money Democrats "who sup
ported Mckinley either by voting for him
directly, or indirectly byvoting for Palmer
and Buckner, are no more in favor with
the administration than are the Simon
pure ex-Confederate Southern Republi-
cans lie also notes the fact that the
gold Democrats are being removed from
Office every day.
We shall hit this implication every time
it raises its head. Those Democrats who
refused to support the Chicago platform
were actuated by principles and had no
hope OF desire'fo office as reward for
their services. The bare suggestion Of this
Washington correspondent is utterly re-
pulsive to us, and, we feel sure, to the
great majority of sound money Democrats.
If the movement Which was inaugurated at
Indianapolis was movemet for the spoils
of office then it was fraud, for the con-
vention distinctly declared that its mem
bers had no desire whatever for office,
their purpose being to preserve the true
principles of Democray. There is no reason
under the sun why President Mckinley
should bestow Office on those Democlrts
who refused to support Bryan, and so far
from pleasing the managers of the sound
money movement the President would
rather incur their displeasure by appointing
sound money Democrats TO office und er
his administration.
The sound money Democrats have but
one thing to ask of the Republican party,
and that it will give the country such laws
and such execution of laws as shall best
promote the interests and welfare of the
whole people. Office holding is entirely
out of the question. Good government
and that only is what the National Demo
cratic party wants. President Mckinley
understands this andthose who continually
pirate of Mckinley ignoring the mem
bers of that party do not seem to see that
the President is paying the party the
highest possible tribute III not offering its
members reward of Office for the part they
took in tie recent campaign.

The Atlanta Constitution says "the
shortest route to suicide the Democrats
could take" would be 10 obstruct the pas
sage of the Dingley bill. 1t looks very
much like some of them are disposed to
take this step. If the Republicans should
fail TO pass the measure as resultof Demo
cratic obstruction, the responsibility will
rest upon the Democrats for the failure to
restore prosperity.

VALUABLE PROPERTY DESTROYED.

Judge Grosscup Holds the Claims of Two
Railroads valid-The City Must Settle
Because the Lawless Acts Occurred
Within Her Observation-Disclosures the
Chicago Sausage Manufacturer Held for
Wife Murder.
Chicago, June 2.-Judge Grosscup
rendered a decision Tuesday morning
upholdlng the liability of the city of
Chicago for damages to railroad prop
erty by reason of the strike Of 1894,
The question was before him on a de-
murrer of the city to the suit Of the
Pennsylvania company for $5O,OOO dam
age at the Brighton Park yards fire
on the night Of July 6, 1894, and suit
Of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley
company for destruction of $4,000 OF
property at One Hundred and Third
street on the same night. In his opin-
ion Judge Grosscup said the action was
brought under the statutes of the state
of Illinois, which provide that when
damage is caused in any city by mob
of twelve or more persons, the city is
liable for three fourths of the money
value of the property destroyed.
Burden Upon the Municipality.
He said there was no allegation that
the city had failed to do it's duty dur
ing the strike, and under the statute
no such allegation was necessary. The
court held there was no contract on the
part of the city to preserve property.
1t was simply a burden imposed upon
the municipality by the state, and the
city was liable because the damage was
committed within it's territory. The SUI
preme courts of New Hampshire, New
York and Pennsylvania, the court said
had held the validity of similar statutes
and the appellate court of the Second
Illinois district and Judge Adams OF
the circuit court bench of the state
court had held the validity Of the Hi
nos statute. Under the unbroken au-
thorities the court said he would have
to hold the statute valid and dismiss
the demurrer of the city.
