NORFOLK AND WESTERN.
The Reduction of Force-Ronnohe
VIII Gain.

ROANOKE. VA. March 25.-(Special)
The report that the number OF DIVISIONS
~ the Norfolk and Western railway VIII
be consolidated into three or four withih
n short time excltes much interest mere
There are now twelve divisions OF the
road. employing eleven superintendent
and az this change would Involve the
removal Of seven or eight or these. theTe
Is much speculation as to where the hAe
will fail. Officials are Silent on TINS
point. but II is believed the reducuoii
,yr soon be made. The Norfolk and
Western has contracted TO supply the
Illinois steel Company and several Penn
.vlvania companies with coke, which wni
add largely to the traffic Of the road
besides greatly stimulating the indus
tries of the Pocahontas region. As the
smoke of this reported reduction In the
number Of employees of the Norfolk ana
Western clears away, there does not ap-
near TO be as much In the rumor as was
feared. while Roanoke seems really 10
be n gamer by the move. or the 40
men removed from Blueheld, the sixty
from Shenandoah. and the others from
different points. the Roanoke Machlne-
Works win get the greater portion; so
there will be an increase here instead or
a reduction.

HAUE BAILEY.

The Richmond Dispatch seems to be
greatly impressed with the vastness Of
Bailey. intellectually. and Of his pro-
fundity from the standpoint of states
manship. Judged by its daily illusions.
If the embryo statesman from Texas
does not get afflicted with a case of po-
Htical big head, we shall be much and
aareeablv surprised.-The Fredericksburg
Free Lance.
our opinion as TO Mr. Bailey's abilities
was formed from his discussion here
with Messrs. Meredith and Royal. This
has lately been reinforced by the action
of the Democratic congressmen's caucus,
which declared that Mr. Bailey was the
nttest man they had to lead our party
uDon the floor OF the House. The Wash
ington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sur saws that in the debate on Friday
Mr. Bailey bore himself modestly and
IMPRESSED the House with the belief that
he would be "a worthy successor OF Mr..
Crisp.
Further we would say that we doubt
If Mr.. Bailey is the sort Of man to be
afflicted with the big head" However,
he will. no doubt take the warning OF
the Free Lance in good part and steer
away from that danger point upon which
50 many noble regulations have been
wrecked.

In the IN OF poor mems Injuries
upon which the DIngley bill puts duty
are .noor-mattinga. plain. fancy, or
n,,,,rea manufactured from straw. round
or split. or other vegetable substance
including what are known as Chlnese'
Japanese. and india straw matt'hss'
The DUTY on these mattngs, valued at
not exceeding 10 cents pee square Ehru'
is cents per square yard, ana upon
rattinas exceeding 10 cents per square
yard Il is the same as TO speci1c sche-
dule. and % per cent. ad valorem' IL
will be seen from this that the duty on
IO.cent mattings will amount to nearly
100 per cent. and on cheaper grdues 10
more. on 1l-cent mattings VIII
amount 10 over 81 per cent; on l2-cent
mattings II will figure up over " per
cont. 60. The operation IS. therefore,
this: The cheaper the grade of mat
ting In either class q mans circuh-
stances restrict him to. the more sacri-
fee in the way Of per cent. he WIFI nave
to make TO the tariff Moloch.
As these mattings are not manufac-
tured I'm this country, and there appears
no prospect of the industry's being de-
veloped here, the question naturally
arises. Why the duty? A little reflection
and Investigation. however, make me
reason very plain. Among persons OF
moderate means. and the poorer classes
the demand for floor-mattngs has oil
late grown rapidly. and, as a conse-
ouence. there has been great decrease
I'm the demand for Ingram carpets. me
mating trade is interfering seriously
with the ingram carpet interest. and
the object of the duty on mattings' when
was inserted in the new tarih Dill AT
the instigation of the ingram carpet
manufacturers. is TO force the people
TO buy the goods Of these manufacturers
instead of the competing floor covering
In this connection it should also be
noted as adding to the hardship that
the price Of ingram carpets VIII De IN
creased. on account Of the wool sche-
dule. though it is understood duties have
been so adjusted that the advance VIII
not permit Of mattings continuing 10
have competitive chance.
But after all, this is only one OF the
MANY outrages the Dingley robber tariH,
masqueradlng under the guise Of a reve-
nue. measure, proposes TO perpetrate
upon the poor man. 1t is only one OF the
many cases in which the masses are 10
10 taken by the throat by the new adj
ministration and compelled to assist In
discharging the McKinley-Hanna cam
paign debt OF gratitude to certain special
interests. The clause imposing the
duty on mattings was slipped into the
fax. hemp, and jute schedule, and there
are several other schedules in the
bill that embrace similar items. the bear
ing of which upon American Industries
is not at first blush very clear. But upon
examination. these show just such a
purpose as that involved in the tax Tor
the benefit Of the ingrain-carpet manu-
| facturers.

After several weeks OF close practice, the
manager and captain of the base ball
team have been able 10 reduce the list OF
applicants for positions on the baseball
team TO sixteen. fFrOm present indications
the first nine 10 enter the diamond to bat
tie for the red. white. and yellow Will be as
follows: Miller (captain), catcher; Allen.
pitcher. Shipp shortstop. Hartman, first
base: BlackfOrd, second base; Foster third
base; Taylor, left field, Shaner, centre
field: Montgomery, right field
Allen is a left-hander, and has great
speed and good curves. 1t is expected
that he will prove a puZzler to the batters
of opposing teams. Stafford, the substi-
tute pitcher, is even more speedy. and has
excellent control of the ball. Miller, cap
tain and catcher, is good at the stick, and
a straight thrower. Carroll. substitute
catcher. is an excellent all-round player,
and will doubtlessly another year be
placed permanently on the team.
The games scheduled so far are as fol-
lows: Roanoke. April 3D. Washington and
Lee University. April 10th; Allegheny In
