China'a Treachery.

Minister Congers undated dispatch shows
that the Chinese government, OF whatever
agency is acting in that capacity, has re-
sumed, permitted the resumption, of the
attack on the legations. The minister spe-
officially refers to the imperial troops as fir
ing on the legations. Thus the government
here has now official Information OF a
direct unfriendly act by the Pekin authori-
ties, and could. If disposed, force the issue
on this ground to the point of declaration
of war. But it appears that more cautious
steps are to be taken. and accordingly Tie
utmost efforts have been exerted to spread
throughout the responsible circles of author
fly In China the fact that the United States
views the state of affairs there now as a
violation OF all the obligations of internal
tional relationship. Save that no accom-
panying alternative of force is presented,
this pronOuncement constitutes an ulti-
matum.

Suburban Railroad DiscrIm nat o n.

Citizens living along the Brightwood and
Tenleytown railroads are up in arms against
the intention of the Washington Traction
Company to do away with the present trans
fer arrangements by which the center of
the city has been reached for one fare. The
proposal to charge the patrons of these
lines an additional rate. selling them only
four tickets for a quarter, is denounced as
u discrimination against these sections and
a policy illiberai TO the affected patrons
and displaying poor business Judgment by
the railroad
So far as these roads are concerned it
does seem curious time to make this
move. Consider the Brightwood line prac-
J!c4lly occupying. II does. the main road
artery out Of Washington. Property own

OF the carriage owners Of Washington. and
of the farmers OF Montgomery county.

has no hope of election except through the
wholesale Acknowledgement Of the negroes
of the south? Or will 1t record itself with
anything like unanimity in favor of those
who insist that as an educational test has
been introduced with respect to the suf-
frage. 1t should apply to the whites as well
as to tine blacks?
How will Mr.. Turner. addressing an audi
ence of his race in a state where the color
line Is not drawn at the polls handle this
question? Will he tell the negroes Of such
a state that it matters little what happens
on the subject of the suffrage just so 1t
does not happen to them? Will he as ne
gro indorse a discrimination against his
own people in defiance of the Constitution
of the United States? And can he hope to
make votes for Mr.. Bryan by taking such
an attitude in any such locality?
Surely. of all years. this year would APP
pear to be the most unpromising for
democratic canvass for negro votes any
where. The party's purpose now Is clearly
defined. and If the Supreme Court does not
interfere with an adverse decision on what
has already been done. the work in North
Carolina will be copied wherever else in
the old slave section the negro may not as
yet have formally been deprived Of his suf-
frage.

ABINGDON, VA, June 70, 4SuO-
To the Editor of the Dispatch; l
met several of my old regiment at
Louisville, KY, at the reunion and
they were anxious that we have a re-
union of our old regiment at Staun-
ton some time this fall. The only
way 1 know to bring about such
thing is for some one to take the ini-
tiative step. Therefore, l will ask
you to be kind enough to publish this
notice.
I would very much prefer to have
reunion of our old brigade, which
was composed of the First Regiment
of Virginia Cavalry, and the Second
Third, Fourth, and Fifth at one time.
The First, Second, Third. and Fourth
were the only regiments in the bn-
gade during the last two years OF the
war, but our main object is to have
reunion of the old First, General ).
E. B. Stuarts regiment, the one that
gave him his start and helped him to
achieve the high and worldwide rep
utation he attained before his glorious
career ended in the last charge at
yellow Tayern" in May, 1864, which
broke the back bone of Sheridans
horde of mounted infantry, and caused
him to seek safety by quickly with
drawing his Overwhelming" body of
cavalry, infantry, and artillery, and
saved our beloved capital city from
the fire and sword of the at that time
Infatuated horde of northern vandals
seeking revenge for the burning of
Chambersburg, Pa, by our people.
But have diverged from my main
object, that is reunion of the old
First Virginia Volunteer" Cavalry,
composed of Companies A, B, G, D,
E, F, G, H, I, and K. Companies A,
B, F, and H came from the Lower
Valley and Loudoun county Com
panies c, E and G from Rockingham,
