pupils and others interested in our
public school. Mr.. McQuade ex-
pressed how encouraging it was to
himself and bis assistant, Miss Stone,
to see so many parents and others
present, because it evidenced hear
ty interest in the welfare OF our pub
lie school, and tended to stimulate
the pupils as well as the teachers to-
still greater exertions. He went on
to add that when boys and girls per-
ceive that parent and teacher have q
common interest in their progress,
they will naturally begin to look on
school life with the order and obedi-
ence attending it, not distinct from,
but supplemental to home life and its
training. He reminded parents how
that in their own school life they
looked upon education more as a
penalty attached to youthful years
rather than the moulding of their flu
ture career. The reason he assigned
was because in youth we are inclin-
ed to look upon things in the light Of
their present utility without any con-
sheraton for the future. THIS lack
of foresight in youth has to be coun-
teracted by various expedients,
among them compulsion on the part
Of the parent to make the child attend
school, and inducements wisely
and judiciously offered. Mr.. Nc
Quade affirmed that the prize system
commends;itseif from the fact that it
makes the pursuit. Of knowledge at
once the road to, present as well as to
future rewards, and that it awakens
in pupils the desire to vie with each
other in that chivalrous, wholesome
spirit of rivalry without which school
work is dead. Where prizes were
awarded solely on the ground of mer-
it, the garland of victory could be
placed on the brow of him or her on.
ly who showed the most thorough
and extensive knowledge, closer
observation, stricter scrutiny, more
careful and studied process of reas
oning, a keener discrimination in as
Stimulating the gist of the subject mat
ter, and above all by untiring, perse
vering industry and application with
out which true greatness can neve
be attained.
He spoke of the lively interest ia
ken by some of the pupils, and of tn
apathy of others, and expressed thu
hope that the adoption of the priz,
system might encourage the forme
and rouse the latter.
He reminded the prize winner
that they had taken step which the
should be watchful to sustain. Lik
a skillful general they possessed
point of vantage which must be de
Tended at all hazards.
Mr.. McQuade then referred to tn
working of the school, and some c
the disadvantages to be contende
with. Since perfectly graded sys
tenn in this case was impossible. tn
object was to approximate as closel
as possible to that system. To d
so, the principle, "the greatest goo
of the greatest number" had to be &C
hered to. Where the standing of
few was slightly higher than that {
the majority, the few must be classe
according to the standing of the ma
jority. He strongly asked the co-ol
Grafton of the parents in securing
more regular attendance. A desu
tory attendance initiates again:

pupil and imparting only fragmer
tary knowledge. In case of the III

An Extra Session

II the friends Of the alleged new propo-
sitieu TO settle the State debt as well as the
opponents OF that scheme unite In demand
ing an extra session OF the Virginia Legisla'
ture this winter--the friends that their
proposition may be adopted, and the oppo-
pents that better remedial legislation may
he resorted to-the prospects OF an extra
session ought to be bright. We base this
remark upon the following paragraphs In
Washington letter IN the Alexandra Ga
zette OF Wednesday. The writer says:
"Mr. Croxton says that II the creditors
OF Virginia will accept in settlement oil
their claim only what Is left after all the ex-
penses OF the State are provided Tor he
doesn't see why the Legislature should not
meet In extra session and IN two hours ac'
cept that proposition and adjourn"
On the contrary Mr.. MEREDITH, Viz
gina senator and therefore member oil
the Legislature, is reported as follows:
"Mr. Meredith, like Mr.. Croxton, says
the first cause OF the Democratic dissatisfac-
ton exhibited at the recent election In his
State was the failure OF the Democratic Le-
gislature TO elect Mr.. Barbour TO the Sen.
ate. Regarding the State debt, he says he
was at first opposed to an extra session oil
the Legislature, but now thinks such ses-
sion Will be held; that II that be the case
the Riddleberger bill should be insisted
upon and that, when that is done, he be-
lleyes the bondholders will cease their op'
position to that bill and accept its provi'
sions."
The impression grows stronger day by
day that the Democrats will be too cautious
provident, and far.seelng TO allow the party
TO 90 into an election for new Legislature
without having done something more than
they have heretofore done to put quietu'
upon debtpquestions.

could call q Constitutional Convention. We
are inclined to hold that the original state
meut Was true. We do not by any means
copcede thai G Constitutional Convention
has the power to tie up the hands OF the
people OF a State in that way. As one
British Parliament Is as powerful as an'

ing a future Parliament. so Constituttonsl
Convention In the United States, though
during It's existence 1t may exercise any
power not denied to State by the Federal
Constitution, vet II cannot, when 1t Is dead
and gone, bind the sovereign people, who
fall heir to It's vast power, and may exer'
else that power Of will. Suppose the Gene
raj Assembly were this winter to order
vote Of the people to be taken upon the
question OF converting Constitutional
Convention, would the officers Of cleo
ton dare to refuse to carry out
the lawf Hardly. Suppose, next, that
majority Of the people voted in favor OF
Convention, would not the General Assem-
bIy at It's next session provide for electlng
members to such Conventionf And when
these members assembled in Convention,
clothed with all the power OF the Common
wealth. who or what would there be that
could prevent them from framing new
Constitution for the Statey The Supreme
Court Of Pennsylvania some years ago de-
cided this question, II our memory does
not betray us. exactly as our argument goes
to show 1t ought to have been decided.
Shall we be referred TO the celebrated
Dogr case 10 Rhode Islandy "Tbere's
nothing In that" The DoRR Convention
which in that State assembled for the pur-
pose OF framing o new Constitution was
not called by the Legislature, but by mere
mob or mass.meeting. As the constituted
authorities OF the State refused TO recog-
n,ze It's work. the United States Govern.
ment was OF course compelled to refuse to
recognize 1t. We speak Of a Convention
called by q State Legislature.
At any rate the ladez- appears hrst state
ment was not far out Of the way, as the
Constitution Of Virginia provides that sat
such time as the General Assembly may by
law provide" the question OF calling
convention shall be submitted to the popu-
lar vote, and II decided 10 the Affirmative,
the General Assembly shall at its next ses-
sion provide by law for electing the dele
gates to 1t. 1t would not take long to get
q convention IN that way.

A constitutional Convention.

Should there be an extra session OF the
Legislature next January, and should that
body deem 1t advisable that the Constitu.
ton should be amended, perhaps no men,
Der thereof would think ii necessary TO have
Constitutional Convention called, because
the amendments could be adopted and be-
come part OF the Constitution before con-
vention could be assembled. For example :
The Legislature meets In January and passes
an amendment TO the Constitution, and 1t Is
ratified by the next Legislature in Deem
Der and submitted to vote OF the people at
the Msy election, and thus becomes law In
May, 1887.
ON the other hand, the Legislature m aets
In January and submits TO the people at
the May election the question OF a convcn-
ton and II Is adopted. Then the Lcgisla-
ture In December win provide for thu
election OF members to the Convention, and
they could not well be elected before the
May election in 1887, aud the Convention
itself could not assemble before June, aud
the Constitution which 1t might adopt
would be submitted to the people for rail-.
| iicaiion or rejection at the November elec.
| ton, 1887.
We know Of only two people who have
taken up the absurd idea that the Legisla-
iure has any intention Of taking steps for a
Constitutional Convention.
II has been suggested, as q means OF
forcing the bondholders TO fund their
bonds under the Riddleberger bill, that a
constitutional amendment be adopted for
bidding any subsequent Legislature making
an appropriation TO pay any bonds except
Ricdlebereer bonds, but this can become q
law by May. 1887, without convention.

Stead, on alderman Of this city and man
well known throughout The county, was
supposed to have died Sunday evening.
His body was laid out and NIL arrangement,
were made for the funeral, which was to
have occurred to-day. Yesterday, how
ever. signs OF life became apparent, the
face assumed its natural color, the tempera-
ture OF the body became sensibly higher,
and the eyelids opened and shut several
times. The supposed dead man was spoken
TO, but gave no sign that he heard or under.
stood. It is possible that he may be brought
back to life, although the efforts OF his ply
sicians to accomplish that end have failed
30 far. The funeral has been postponed.
