CALL THE QUESTION.

"What can we do to get rid OF the deptF
This is the question which is being
pronounced all over the State.
One way, is to repudiate It, But II
needs popular convention to do that
The convention would consist OF men
of all parties and colors, from true-blue
Democrat to black -and-tan.
The Republicans have lately demon
strated the fact that they can win an
election without Malone.
The National Republican party VIII
not carry Repudiator any longer.
Then il is likely that the Convention
would be composed somewhat as fol-
lows:
|. The Democracy under the lead of Col
onel Rufiin's policy.
II. The Democracy that will not follow
Colonel Ruffin.
III. The Republicans with the solid ne
gro vote against Reputation.
Now, upon the question of reputation
or debt settlement on the proposition OF
the creditors to settle on the basis OF the
surplus revenue, let us see whether we
can draw the party lines.
The conservative element of the Dem
ocratic party will say that they tried the
Riddleberger bill TO save the State from
Malone rule, but that it is failure, and
has resulted in conflict between the
State and the United States Supreme
Court. They will say that practical
proposition from the creditors should be
met in business-like and sensible way.
They will say that they will not follow
a Democratic party put under the rule OF
rank Mahonite bossism. There are 0,OOO
Democrats in Virginia who will say this
when the issue comes They will not be
bulldozed by policy" which is more
Mahoneite than Democratic.
The muster-roll of the Democratic party
for the Reputation policy would be at
the highest one can estimate about Co.
600.
As we stated long ago, the Republicans
do not intend to go for Reputation. In
such Convention as proposed, they will
muster their whole force for fair debt
settlement.
Let us see what their numbers would be.
The lowest figure that Malone has poll
ed would leave the Democrats 10000 be-
hind. But considering the disgust among
the Democrats for the negative policy
in Federal politics, and the Malone
policy in State politics, we think that,
on reputation platform, the pres
ent leaders of the Virginia Democ-
racy, after a thorough canvass, would
cover themselves up so deep in popular
contempt that if Malone, their only
friend, were taken out of affairs the people
would think anything better than the
emasculated Democracy at present pre-
yailing-that DULLES poor country farmers
and dares not arrest men in Richmond
guilty of the same offense.

THE PROSPEROUS SOUTH.
4 Northern View of II.

The South is more prosperous than
any other section of the country to-day
Facts abound in proof of this. During
the last six years thousand million dol
lars have been added to the wealth Of the
old twelve Southern States. Nothing to
be compared to this has ever happened in
the land before. \ kindred advance has
been seen in one or two quickly-grOwing
Western States-Kansas for instance
but no group of States can in any wise
approach the record. The South after
all its loss Of blood and waste of
wealth, has grown stronger than even
in the aristocratic aHte-beHUm days it
claimed to be. Industry has supplanted
sloth work is no longer a menials badge.
The turning point in the South's condi-
ton came when half of her great cotton
crop was raised by white labor, as official
figures show the last crop was. And here
is line worth a volume in testimony of
the new order of things South: In Ala
bama during this last year every dollar Of
tax assessed has been collected, excepting
only $50" Is there any Northern State
that can show so clean a bill of health
from the taX-collectOr? People do not
pay taxes when they have no money!

was known in the newspaper world, was

to bear my testimony to the calm and

Bishop W eed.


The augusta tGa.) EreHiHg Nt'rS. pub
lished at Bishop Weeds old home, gives
this account OF the farewell service OF
the Bishop in his old church, held last
Sunday, Just before his departure for
his new field of labor in Florida:
LAS the time for the departure of the
Right Rev. Bishop Weed approaches, the
ties between himself and his flock on
the Hill are drawn closer and closer,
and such mutual affection as is evil
denced was never seen before between
pastor and people. 1t is past descrip-
ton and forbids intrusion on our part.
lie preached his farewell on yesterday,
and the occasion will never be forgotten.
Clad in his Episcopal robes. he stood be-
fore his people and talked as man sell
dom speaks on earth. His words were
more than affecIionate. They were
fatherly and yet fraternal, and showed
the deep feeling in the heart OF a good
and truly great man. No more need he
said.
The occasion, however, was memorial
in its nature. and this added signiti
canoe to the morning service. For the
first time was used the beautiful and
costly pulpit of pure and FURNISHED
brasS. presented 10 the church of the
Good Shepherd by Marye, late comman-
dant OF the arsenal. 1t memorialiZes
his wife. who died while Major Marye
was stationed here, and he ordered the
handsomest tribute of the kind which
could be procured, and requested that
Bishop Weed, rector at the time of hIs
wife's death, should first occupy il on
the day of its unwilling. This ceremony
was watched with interest. and the desk
adds another ornament to the prettiest
chapel in the South. The presentation
Of his Episcopal ring, appropriately or
namented with his own and the coat OF
arms of Florida. will add one more 10
the tribute paid Bishop Weed by his de-
voted ilock. Bishop Weed confirmed
twelve communicates at yesterday ser
vices, and this is the first class con
firmed by the new Bishop Of Florida.
We find the following in the Syracuse,
y. Y, Times, the gentleman spoken of
being son of Mr.. VIM. \. Burke, of the
Carleton House in this city:
Attorney Charles Z. Burke has OBJ
tanned Judgment of Sl,011.44 against
James Dixon, who is now serving life
sentence in Auburn for killing James
Cooper. Dixon Is an heir to property by
a deceased uncle in Poughkeepsie, and
his share of the estate is estimated al
$500. Mr.. Burke obtained an execu
ton and has gone to Poughkeepsie tc
commence proceedings.
