Notes at the Capitol.

The Pension Appropriation bill, reported
in the house last Friday, appropriates $751;
754, 200, an increase of about SIG, 900, 900 on
the appropriation of last year. The bill will
pass, and this item alone of government ex-
pcrse will amount to one dollar and a half
for every man, woman and child in the
country
The Senate has passed Mr.. Sewells bill
providing for an annual appropriation of
100000 for the purpose of providing arms
and ordnance stores, quartermasters' stores
and camp eeuipage for the militia, the appro-
priation to be apportioned among the States
and Territories
The Dakota bill was discussed last Friday
by Messrs. Butler, Logan, Morgan, Plumb,
Harrison, Call, Edmunds and Beck. The
bill was then passed as reported by the com
mittee-yeas 81, nays %. Mr.. Voorhees, was
the only Democrat who voted for the bill.
1t divides the Territory of Dakota on the line
of the 46th parallel of latitude: provides for
the admission of the southern portion as the
State of Dakota and provides for the organi
cation of the northern portion into the Terri
tory of Lincoln.
A bill has been introduced in the Senate
by Mr.. Sherman authorizing the President
to invite all the Governments of the several
Republics of Mexico, Central America and
South America and the Empire of Brazil to
send delegates to meet in convention in Wash
ington, upon such day as he may appoint,
during the present year, to consider such
questions as relate to the best mode of estab
fishing upon firm and lasting basis peaceful
and reciprocal commercial relations, and
also to adopt such measures as may be con-
sidered the most practical to carry forward
the construction of an international railroad
between the United States and these countries.

from the Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tions reported bill fixing the time for the
meeting of Congress in 1887, and every sec
ond year thereafter, on the first Monday in
October, and in 1886, and every second year
| thereafter, on the second Monday of Novem-
Der. The object of the bill is avoid running
the long sessions into the hot months of June
and July, and to make the short sessions one
| month longer, in order to have more time on
| appropriation bills and other important mat
| ters The bill will not pass, however, as the
| Senators and Representatives will want to be
home during campaigns.

servatory, the removal to Annapolis of por-
ton of the astronomical instruments in the
present observatory, the enlargement Of the
observatory at that place, and the transfer of
portion of the present staff to Annapolis.

Great Riot in London.

A great riot occurred in London, England,
on Monday, in Trafalgar Square. A meeting
of mechanics and laborers was called to take
action regarding their condition and to urge
the government to commence works OF inter-
nal Improvement, in order to give employment
to the unemployed and starving people. A
number of Socialists got in the crowd, and by
inhammatory speeches precipitated conflict
between them and the police, in which all
participated. A man named Burns was the
instigater, and there was a three hours reign
of terror. Jewelry chops were broken into
and their contents carried off by the mob.
Carriages containing ladies were stopped on
the streets and the occupants forced to alight.
Some of the rioters entered the vehicles and
drove at the head Of the crowd. The mob
swept through the streets shouting "Smash
the windows; let's get inside the shops. :"
All decently attired persons who encountered
the rioters were maltreated, the wearers of
silk hats meeting with particularly rough
usage The most violent acts were committed
on North and South Audley and Oxford
streets. Probably 200 shops and a dozen club
houses were seriously damaged, and about so
shops we're pillaged, including jewellers,
bakers, butchers and wine shops. Hundreds
of inoffensive people yere maltreated. Fhe
police were powerless at first, but they glti-
mately succeeded in restoring order by break
ing up the ranks Of the rioters into small
squads. The military were kept pRdar arms
all the evening while policemen patrelled the
streets.

Correspondence of the Democratic Advocate.
WHITEwRIGHT, GRAYsoN COUNTY,
February 8, 1886. {
MEssRs. EDITORS About two years ago
| wrote you descriptive letter of this town
and section. Since then the town of White
wright has steadily improved. 1t now has
four church societies and three church build
ings, and school of over 200 students. The
school building was destroyed by fire last
month, and at a citizens meeting few nights
afterwards 81 400 were subscribed to rebuild
with, so you see we can lay claims to being
civilized.
Many farmers are improving their places by
building large and comfortable houses and
barns The crops the past season were not
large. Corn and oats yielded about forty
bushels per acre, wheat cut twenty bushels
and cotton three-quarters of bale per acre.
There exists no disease among cattle, horses
or hogs of an unusual nature Improved
farms in this neighborhood are held at from
SIS to S35 per acre. There is no unimproved
land near here School lands out west, in
newly organized counties, are quoted at 81
per acre.
The weather has been mild this winter, with
the exception of few days during January,
when 'blizzard' or '.norther' brought the
mercury down to zero.
Farmers have nearly all their land prepared
for planting. Oats will be sowed the coming
two weeks and corn planted the last of this
month Gardening will be on hand in a few
days. HENRY BRowN.

Constitutional Convention Question

That the people of Maryland have a right
to change their constitution does not admit of
a doubt, and the right is so declared in the
present constitution, articles one and SIX of
the Bill of Rights.
The question now before the Legislature is,
whether the people shall vote on the matter
at the election next November, or wait until
the general election in 1887. Mr.. Hayes pre-
sented bill in the Senate providing for TAX
ing the sense of the people next November,
and Mr. Lane offered a substitute, providing
for taking the sense of the people in 1887.
The present constitution needs amendment
in number of instances, particularly in the
matter of holding az election on altering the
constitution every twenty years. Such pro-
vision should not have been Incorporated IN It,
There should be change in our Judicial
system, in order to have an independent Court
of Appeals.
The Orphans Court should be abolished.
The terms of County Commissioners should
be altered, so as to always have experienced
men in the Boards.
The part regarding uniform registration
of voters should be so worded as to admit of
no doubt.
The basis of representation in the Legis-
lature should be changed, so as to reduce the
number of members
These are a few that occur to Us now, but
in looking over the constitution heretofore we
have observed various provisions that could
be changed to the advantage of the people.
If the Hayes bill should become law and
the people refuse to call a new convention,
the question would have to be voted on again
in 1887, under provision of the present con-
stitution; and if the early call bill should pre-
vail, the Lane bill or similar one should be
passed also, otherwise the Governor would be
required to call an extra session of the Legis
lature to provide for the election in 1887, in
the event of the failure of the people to call a
convention under the hayes BILL
1t is true there is no great urgency in the
matter of changing the constitution, but we
believe that the people will vote for a change
at the first opportunity presented. As such
an opportunity ,oiH be presented in 1887, it
would be better to have the question settled
next fall and new constitution formed next
winter, rather than have it in 1888, when the
attention of the people will be directed to
presidential election and strong partisanship
will be uppermost.
