KING AND OTHERS.

j ~ = .
The grand Jury Of the Hastings Court
of Richmond will resume its session to-
morrow. Routine work probably will oc-
cupy it two or three days; then municipal
matters will receive it's attention. Ex-
Alderman King has been indicted and con-
yicted and has appealed; now the public
wants to know If it is true that he CON
trolled. the Street Committee.
According to one Of the witnesses who
testified before the Police Justice, King,
in substance. asserted that he did control
the committee, or words to that effect.
Therefore, everybody concerned-every-
body who has nothing to fear from pub
wish to have the inquiry
pushed to it's furthest limit.
/ In the opinion Of some, the labors OF
the grand jury are not. half over. Be
that as it may be, we can rely upon 1t to
continue its duties fearlessly and indus
triously. It is looked to to give the city
clean bill of health. Let it but diagnose
the case thoroughly and if occasion de-
mands it, the courts will prescribe the
medicine. On the other hand, should the
grand jury find that the patient is sound,
free from disease and without faint, Well
all be glad to know it.

GAS INSTEAD OF COAL.

1t is not yet clear when or how the
strike Of the anthracite coal miners will
be brought to an end. Meanwhile, dealers
are advancing prices, and if the winter
should prove to be severe, the lot of the
poor will be more than ordinarily hard
and unhappy.
Not only anthra cite coal, but soft coal
and wood have become DEAR and the pros
poets at this moment are that they will
get dearer yet.
We doubt not that the gas stove viii
be much in evidence when the cold wealth
er sets in, and the odds are that it will
then come to stay with many families.
Therefore, let our city authorities be
forewarned. Let them make the amplest
preparations possible to supply the inevita-
BILE demand. Do what we may we much
fear that our resources will be inadequate
but at least let us have the comfortable
CONSCIOUSNESS of having done our utter
most to furnish fuel as well as light to
those of our citizens who may desire it

The Dcnbich School.

The Dispatch is not responsible for
views expressed by correspondents. It
occasionally happens that opinions adj
vanced in communications printed on this
page are directly opposed to the views
held and advocated in the editorial coll
umns. It is, therefore, right that the
Dispatch disown the opinions expressed
regarding the Denbigh School in Warwick
county, and especially the charges or
insinuations made against the young lady
in a communication printed in this paper
on the 18th instant, over the signature,
Americas. Mr.. James T. Garrow, of
Warwick, called at the Dispatch Office
yesterday, and denounced as untrue the
references contained in the article. The
assertions therein made were simply
those of the writer, Mrs. L. F. Madison,
who in a private letter permits her name
to be revealed.

II So, Danger to the University OF
Virginia.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Amongst tbs provisions of the new Con-
stitution lately adopted no single one
met with more general approval than the
clause that no member during the term
for which ne shall have been elected
shall be appointed or elected to any civil
Office of profit in the State, except Offices
filled by the election by the people Moth
ing has given rise to greater adverse
criticism in the last twenty years that the
habit which certain bodies seem to have
arrogated to themselves to select one of
their own number for an Office of profit
and emolunant within the gift of such
body, and the clause inserted il, the Con-
stitution, which applied to the General
Assembly, should have been applicable
to every body in the State: and no one
would have complained had there been an
additional proviso that this restriction
should last through the life OF the mex.
elective body. The University of Virginia
has been singulariy free from any charge
of log rolling" or nepoti.m. No member
Of its body has ever been elected from
that body. or Immediately after resigna-
ton, or within the course of the next
few years. to any position OF profit and
emoiument within the gift OF the Board
of Visitors; and the alumni of that insti-
tuition now view with great alarm and
anxiety a statement in the public press,
to which credence seems to be given.

"os THE QUIET"
Ross Was Legitimate Successor I"
Willie Collier.

When Augustus Thomas selected mo
mas W. Ross as Willie Golfers legtti-
mate successor for the part OF Robert
Ridgeway in "On the Quiet he made no
mistake. This fact was clearly demon
strated by Mr.. Ross at the Academy OF
Music last night. He proved that he IS
not only an actor of fine ilumor and in
tellgence, but was endowed with per-
sonality that at once won him warm
spot in the hearts of the audience. He
carried eli of the humorous scenes OK
the play with a hnisse and unctiousness
that has. sbpen rarely seen on the local
stage. Hsflot only looked. but acted the
jiunesse dore to perfeclon.
ROSS WAS INDIVIDUAL.
One thing in particular that impressed
me with Ross acting was the fact that
he relied solely upon his own individuaii-
ty. and made no attempt to follow IN
the footsteps OF the originator OF tAe
character. He was withal careful. con-
scientious. painstaking. His humor vas
clean cut, with no attempt at horse
play" or vulgarity, so much relied upon
by manyoof the light comedians OF ths
present era.
He followed the lines laid out by the
author. and scrupulously avoided any al
terpptato reir the part.
IIalSASEAIol ScAN iANNSA-'Ni'
In the ste.1der passages of the play.
which by the way. were few. he was
earnest. and. above all. natural and con-
viacing.
The company selected to assist Mr.
Ross was far above the average. TO
particrllarizc the merits of any one MEM
Der of the cast would be to do an IL
justice to the remainder.
ORIGINAL SCENERY.
The original scenery and properties
employed by Collier last year. when ths
comsdy ran 200 nights at the Madison
Square Theatre. were in evidence iaa
night. 1fter
lie last scene. showing o sloop yacns
under full sail. with an interior CABIN
effect, was one of the most original anu
correct 'tsets" ever shown here. WIZ
say IN conclusion "On the Quiet Is
credit to the author OF Alabama" and
Thomas w. Ross is q worthy successor
to that versatile comedian, Willie Cor
lier, now OF the Weherields.

Referring to the bringing in of new
oil gusler in Louisiana, the New Or
leans Picayune says:
con has now been found in quantities
at Jennings, in Calcasieu Parish, and also
at Welsh, in the same parish, and lastly,
a good flow has been secured near Breaux
Bridge, in the parish of st. Martin, or at
point more than hundred miles east
of the Beaumont oil field, and conse-
quently not much more than a hundred
miles from this city. These discoveries
of Oil in Louisiana in so widely-removed
localities, together with oil indications in
many other places. make it reasonably
certain that the whole Of south central
and southwestern Louisiana is underlaid
with oil. and that the oil supply in this
State is probably more extensive than
that in eastern Texas"
We are glad to note that the way
through life of our brethren In the south
west is being made smoother in this oily
way.

SIGNIFICANT.


In a speech he delivered at Jamaica
Plains, Mass. recently, Mr. Eugene II
Foss, brother Of Congressman Foss. of Ill
inois, and himself Republican candidate
for Congress. said that he stood
for immediate revision Of the
tariff, being convinced that the
future success of our industries and the
welfare and happiness of the people lie
along that line Then he added: docs
any one mean to say that the steel trust
needs the same protection as when the iron
and steel business of the country was an
infant industry? It's enormous capital of
81, 400 OO0, 900, with annual profits in excess
Of SAC, $1,000, is in itself protection. The
coal combination, with it's merger Of rail-
roads, is In the same position as regards
the need Of protection. It is no longer
an infant industry
The remarks of Mr.. Foss derive addi-
tional pertinency and force from the fact
that he is not a politician but big manu-
facturcr, and it is significant that they
were received with tremendous applause
by the Republican meeting to which they
were addressed, and in which the manu-
featuring interest was largely represented.
Verify is light dawning on Republicans
here and there at least, in the matter of
the oppression of the Republican high
tariff. Reform of the tariff is the slogan
for Democrats.

Should welcome Change.

Eastern Shore Herald: The new regis
traton will rid the State of a shiftless,
purchasable negro vote that has been the
curse of the State ever since the abomina-
ton of 1869 was forced on US at the point
of the bayonet, bringing with it the hor-
rors Of negro rule, a vile and corrupt
electorate and humiliation to the State.
The white people should welcome the
change as a day Of redemption, and
should gladly seize the opportunity to
enroll themselves in the new and pure cit
izenship. Let the Democracy Of the State
say what answer they will make to the
above statement of facts.

Their Difficulty.

Shenandoah Herald: The great diff
Guilty with our northern brethren is that
they are SO much concerned about the
affairs of southern people that they have
no time to waste on their own murdered
and outraged llth and kin.
A southern negro can arouse their SYM
pathies and cause their tears to flow in
copious showers, while they can look
without concern upon the grossest out
RACES committed almost within their own
sight. These things, however, cannot be
remedied, for the northern people seem to
be made just that way.

The Partie. and Trusts.

and Republican orators are loud in de-
nouncing the trusts, and it is reasonable
to assume that both parties at the next
national convention will place an anti
trust plank in their platform. The vital
question IS, Which partyIis really sincere
In its opposition to the trusts? Thus far
there can be no doubt that the Republi
can party is really their friend.

since the war, when the negro was given
all the rights of citizenship without
