State Democratic Convention.

As appeared from our publication yes
terday of the dates of the last four State De-
mocratic conventions called to nominate
Governor, Lieutenant-G Governor, and At
torney-General none was held earlier than
July 29th or later than August l4th.
Steadily during those fifteen years the
means of communication between the diff
ferent sections of the Commonwealth have
been improving, and il is now a much
easier matter to canvass the country dis
tricts than II was before 80 many new rail
roads were built. So unless some excel
lent reason can be given for change of date
we should not like TO see the State Commit
tee depart from its well-established prac-
tice. Let the convention be held about the
usual time--that is to say between the last
week of July aud the middle of the month
Of August. Then the excitement which
will doubtless pervade political circles
with reference 10 the disposition of
Federal patronage will in great measure
have subsidized and we shall be in irst-rate
condition 10 make stirring campaign.
There are many Virginia applicants for
Federal Office, and il will not be possible
for all of them to be successful. and expe-
riencs teaches us that it takes some little
time for those who are disappointed to
grow enthusiastic in party work again.
For years II has been the habit to hold
the gubernatorial convention in Richmond
because il il usually largely attended and
because there Is no question at all OF the
fact that Richmond can accommodate a
large crowd better than any other city in
Virginia. Richmond will extend hearty
invitation TO the State Committee to issue
the call for the convention TO assemble
here, but she will not act q selfish part or
Insist that it cannot be held anywhere
else.
IL the committee will fix upon Rich
mond as the place we shall make better ar
rangements than ever before for the COM
fort and convenience of members and
whether il Is q large or medium-sized
convention we are equally well prepared
70 make it success so far as the efforts Of
our people can accomplish that result. II
IL is 70 be large convention We can secure
the Armory for its sittinas; II 1t Is TO
be one Of medium sze the Theatre
or Mozart Academy can be secured
The last convention that was held here
was certainly too cumbrous. II was CON-
posed OF about i.s5e delegates, most Of
whom we're present. On an analogous basis,

Every now and then we hear of some
one who thinks that he has a bonanza
in his ownership of Virginia Treasury
note of the Revolutionary period, or in a
copy of the Ulster pa Gazette containing
an account of the funeral of GEORGE
WASHINGTON. As to the former. the time
has long slnce passed when they could be
redeemed. even upon the " sliding scale
fixed by the act of Assembly. and thew are
too numerous to be valuable as rarities.
As TO the Gazette. it has been reproduced
in fac sirnie by the thousand and tens OF
thousand. Copies of 1t have been on sale
In Washington and other cities for years
and years, and many man has spent his
good money for this bogus curio.

Goodness graciousl the government Of
New Zealand protests against the annexa-
ton of Hawaii to the United States.
What is New Zealand? 1t Is a British de-
pendency. 1t now stands related to Great
Britain as 1t is proposed that Hawaii shall
stand related to the United States. The
question of annexation thus falls from the
sublime TO the ridiculous-that is, If our
government pays any attention to such u
protest. What better right has England
to claim the right to protect" New Tea
land than the United States has to claim
the right TO protect Hawaii
