CONSTITUTIONAL CoNvENTIoN.-The
resolution introduced in the StateSenate
on Tuesday by Mr. Stubs, providing for
submitting to the qualified voters of
the State at the November election in
1895 the question of constitutional
convention, is in the line of the agita'
ton of q subject considered in Virginia
politics for some years past. If such q
convention shall be called one of the
most important propositions that would
be submitted would be the changing of
that part of the Constitution in regard
to suffrage. Probably an educational
qualification would be suggested, such
as now exists in Mississippi. The result
of this would practically be to disfran-
chise the negroes. The proposition is
not new one by any means. AS far
back as 1888 Mr.. H. C. Parsons, tt o
then personal and political friend Of
MIR. James G. blaine, advocated some
such provision being inserted in the
Constitution. The object of the repub4
licans then in wishing to disfranchise
the negroes, race that solidly sup
ported their party, was that they
thought by eliminating the negro from
politics the whites would then vote on
economic and financial issues, instead
of as one race against another. How
ever, should the democrats insert ary
such clause in the Constitution of VIII
GINA, their object would be to insure
the supremacy of the white race in this
State

Terrible Catastrophe.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 15.-At TWEEN
ty minutes past 10 o'clock this morning
the fourth span of the ill-fated Louis
vile and Jacksonville bridge fell into
the river This proved to be the most
frightful of the many disasters to the
bridge which has wrecked lives and
swept away fortunes in manner al
most inconceivable. At II o'clock it
was known that % men had been kill
ed, as II dead bodies had been recov-
cred from the water. The bodies were
most horribly mangled. The loss of
life may go to 10. The shocking acct
dent was witnessed by men employed
along the river front and on the
boats plying up and down the river.
The ferrycompany atonce sent twoboats
to assist in securing the bodies Of the
dead and dying and rescuing the work
men still alive. About sixty men were
at work on the span when it gave way
and plunged them into the river. Both
banks of the river were soon crowd
ed. Many women were in the
throngs, the wives and children OF
those who had gone down to
death. Three patrol wagons were
kept busy, and the guards were assist
ed by the fire department in carrying
off the dead and the injured. Later it
was reported that the officers of the
Major Mckenzie, the government boat,
said so lives were lost. The officers
attributed the accident to the giving
away of the girders, due to faulty
mechanism.

FRIDAY EVENING. DEC. 10. 1893.

IT Is stated in the newspapers that
the Lehigh Valley Railroad lost over
six hundred thousand dollars by the
late strike of its employees. Wages
nor time had nothing TO do with the
strike the cause of it being the refusal
of the company to recognize the leaders
oFthe labor unions. The loss of the
strikers is enormous, but is only correct
" appreciated by themselves and those
who are dependent upon them for their
bread and meat. The result has been
that but half of the strikers have been
taken back, and they, at lower wages
than they were receiving when they
struck. and with the certainty that IN
any future reduction in the number OF
EMPLOYEES, they will be the first to go,
for companies, like men, bear malice,
and the one referred to will always re-
member those who made it lose the I'M
mense sum referred to. Besides all this,
the company, by raising its charges a
cent or two, or by slight reduction in
its expenses, can soon make up for its
loss. while that of the strikers is clean
gone forever. But striking, like drink
inc. is an almost incurable disease, be-
inc not amenable even to the most hui
initiating and painful personal expert

before ex. Minister Stevens ordered the

pose the legitimate government of the
Sandwich Islands, he was engaged with

and even went SO far as to ask Secre-
tary Blaine what course this govern

the usurpers should make their then

they were before this great outrage
was inflicted upon them, and then leav'

If THE ideas of Miss Kate Gannett
Wells on the subject Of servants, as
contained in an article in the current
number of the North american Reciec,
should prevail, the mistress of the house
will have to surrender, not ouly her
parlor and dining room, but her cham
Der also to her servants, and content her
self with the nursery and the kitchen,
with no off nights. Miss Wells loses
sight of the fact that nobody would
work if not compelled to, and also OF
the other fact, that as long as that con-
dition shall exist, those who receive
wages will be expected to work for
them. There is the highest written au-
thority for the command that servants
must obey and be subservient to their
masters. But if there were not, natural
law is Just IS mandatory.
