WASHINGTON, d. c., December 10
The breeze is laden with complaints about
the new tariff bill. There are shouts OF
approval and cries OF dissatisfaction
Whether It Is In line with the Oationai
Democratic platform or not Is immaterial
10 the interests involved in the struggle.
They either want It or they don't want 1t.
The new web was woven in an apartment
beneath the marble esplanade of the
House wing Of the Capitol, formerly oc-
cupled by the Committee on the Bleventh
Census There are eleven Democratic
members OF the Committee on Ways and
Means The tariff schedule was entrusted
TO three of the weavers Of this committee.
These three were William l.. Wilson, Of
West Virginia; Clifton r. Brecklnridge,
OF Arkansas, and Justin r. Whiting. OF
Michigan. After patient hearings they
worked night ard day to perfect the new
schedule. How well they have performed
their duty the schedule itself must deter
mine.
Mr. Wilson was chairman OF the last
Democratic National Convention. He sue
ceeded William NJ. Springer as chairman
Of the Committee on Ways and Means
In the final break in the canvass for the
speakershlp Of the Fifty-second Congress
Mr. Springer voted for Mr.. Crisp. Mr.
Wilson remained steadfast TO Mr.. Mills
and went down with him. Mr.. Springer
was made chairman OF the Ways and

In the case of DIR. Charles w. Dabney.

IA native OF Virginia), who has been nomi-
mated by President Cleveland for Assist

sought the man. A Knoxville Dispatch
says DR.. Dabney had not applied for the
position, was not candidate, had not
written a letter 10 President Cleveland
for six years. and had not sought the
gestion to him that he might become an
officer OF the government was when ho
received a letter from Secretary Morton
last summer Offering him the position.
This offer was made on the advice Of
Congressman Livingston, OF Georgia, who.
In the April previous, had written to DIR.
Dabney telling him that he could have
one OF several scientific Offices under the
government. DIR. Dabney's position as
president OF the University OF Tennessee
is prominent and lucrative one, and he
did not care TO become a seeker after
Office, and he answered Mr.. Livingston
10 that effect. Later came the letter from
Secretary Morton. To this DR.. Dabnsy
gave no definite answer.
A few days ago he received another let
ter from tho Secretary. stating that he
must have definite answer at once. DR..
Dabney then laid the lotter before the
trustees OF the university. and asked tAeir
advice. They finally advised him TO ac-
cept the offer. but at the same time IN
sisting that he should retain his position
as president Of tho university Z leave

ventIon to alter Che state Constitution.


saysi
"a number OF our contemporaries have
made suggestions as to the ballot In Nlr-
ginla wAich are worthy OF thoughtful
consideration, but most OF them would
require changes In the organic law OF the
Commonwealth. To make these changes
we would either have to resort TO the
slow. circumlocutory. and unsatisfactory
process OF proposing amendments TO the
people by two different legislatures or call
a convention. The Dispatch prefers the
latter method. it is almost impossible to
discuss measures which should be dis
cussed save In a convention. 1t Is risky
thing 10 attempt to engraft upon this oid,
patched-up. worn-oul Underwood Consti-
tuition the changes which experience
teaches us we need. Our Constitution
should be altered In numerous particu-
lars. and the way to do II Will be TO call
a constitutional convention, where every
scheme can be weighed and analyzed."
As long as Virginia was burdened with
a debt greater than she could bear. her
people were averse TO mourning the ex-
pense that q constitutional convention
would involve, but now that her finan-
cial affairs have been settled upon per-
manent basis to the satisfaction or her
citizens, she is In a position to do that
which for a number of years she was
a.
The fact might as well be admitted at
the outset that the unqualified suffrage
provision OF the Underwood Constitution
accepted at a time when Virginia was
district No. /, has always been objection
able to the white people OF the state.
That instrument was voted for. however,
to rid the State of bayonet government.
and for twenty-three years there has been
an effort more or less determined, TO
overcome by Illegal methods. evils which
existed in large portion of the state.
Now tie question arises: Is II not better
20 settle this question of suffrage upon
a proper basis by confhing It to those
qualified by education to exercise It in
telligently than TO continue past methods
by employing disreputable means for It's
suppression?
We have been surprised that the Dis
patch has failed during recent years to
observe the demorallzing effects produced
by the policy that we have mentioned,
! but so patent have they become in some
sections OF the state that a movement is
even now on foot for conference of sub
stantial citizens-men who are not seekers
| after ofce-to consult as TO the best
methods TO be adopted TO rid the State OF
| evils which are notorious.

NEW YORK. December 15.-Quite a
number of prominent New York girls
made their formal debut at the Monday
evening dance on the 1ith. and the Patrf-
archs' ball couple OF nights later saw
all the debutants fairly launched in the
social swim.
Although no particular one has been
singled out as great bsauty,' there are
quite a rumber Of extremely pretty girls,
and in these fin de sieche days it il uni
versally conceded that many more things
are necessary to make girl belle than
the possession Of mere beauty.
OF course at the "coming-out' ball white
is de rigour. However there are so many
exquisite epheneral stuffs now fashionable
that monotony in the creation Of these
charming gowns is a thing or the past.
1t Is seldom one sees two Of them made
alike. l went with young friend a Few
days ago to choose her first ball gown,
and to no less place than tho very swell
establishment Of our only ex-court dress
maker.
She showed us some very beautiful cos

ball wear. My young friend selected the
