The odd State senatorial districts will
elect senators in tho fall. The present
senators from this district arc Hon..
William LOvenstcin, OF Richmond, and
Hon. Conway Il. Sands. OF Henrico. 1t

one of the city's Representatives IN the
House, will probably bc candidate for
the senatorial nomination.
As county officers will he elected in
May it is'fair to presume that the politi-
cal excitement Of the year will extend
over pretty long period, The prlnci-
pal contest in Henrico promises to BE-
for the nomination for Clerk Of the
County Court. Mr.. William II. Sands
is candidate for the nomination, but
the incumbent, Mr.. Samuel p. Waddlll,
will not surrender without a struggle.
Several other names have also been men
toned in this connection.
The Republicans are pursuing the
oyster policy and keeping their mouths
shut regarding their intentions, aud lit

that they will probably put Major Mann

Ladies Who Will Have Charge.
Each Gift n Memorial.

The ladies who will have charge OF the
Kentucky tent at the Memorial Bazaar
have been somewhat delayed in ar
ranging the details connected with the
booth, and for this reason their plans
have not been heretofore announced.
But the Bluegrass State was ever to
the front IN the battles for freedom, and
her landmarks are now mastering their
forces to the front in this last effort to do
honor to the memory of the Confederacy.
While the ladies representing the other
States are somewhat ahead. this will not
be the first time that Kentucky has
caught up on the last quarter and won
the race.
THE LADIES IN CHARGE.
Miss Matte p. Harris will be chair
man of the table. and she announces the
following ladies as her associates :

forward for these places are Judges Bar

Judge Riley Of Halifax, Hon. II. Il.

Richmond, Judge Mann of Nottoway,
Hon. John A. buchanan of Washington.
Judge Tucker Brook Of Norfolk, Judge

Some of Those on the States ior

Those in touch with Chairman Cor
don. Of the Democratic State COMMITTEE
say they have had no intimaiion from
him as to what time he will call the
committee together for the purpose OF
fixing the date Of the gubernatoriai
convention. Nevertheless, the politi-
clans are already beginning to speculate
as to what the ticket will be. Not only
that, but they are also specializing Is to
what will be the patronage, so to
speak, of the next Legislature.
As far az the gubernatoral fight is con-
cerned, present adyices Indicate that
Congressman OFerrall is IN the lead.
Others prominently spoken of, however,
are Lieutenant-G j. Hoge Tyler,
Hon. Rufus A. Ayers (ex-Attorney-Gen'
eral), and Major Il. c. Kent. The last
named has during Two legislatures led
the forces in the House for a strong rail
road-commission bill. No names have
been mentioned positively in connection
with the leutenant-goyernorship, out

present Attorney General, Hon. K. lay

in the Fredericksburg neighborhood and

mors of dark horses are rife.

tons will involve many combinations

The delivery of an open air speech
for the space Of thirty minutes in the
face of such March wind as that
which blew on Saturday in Washing
ton was an ordeal involving degree
of personal risk which neither custom
nor exigency should sanction. And
great as was the risk incurred by the
President, it was shared by the multi
tude who stood listening to his words.
Pneumonia rides on the wings of the
March winds; and if the date of the
inauguration cannot be changed to a
less inclement season, the exercises
might, at the least, be held under
cover.

Ballington Booth proposes to try IL
this country the plan Of farm colonies

which his father introduced success

of course, but one Of the profoundest
interest industrially as well as morally
and it cannot fail to enlist the sym
pathies of all who feel sense of con

The pressure to transfer Inaugural
ton day to April Both will naturally
grow greater after Saturdays expe-
rience. The cutlery for the change is
becoming general. March is, without
doubt, the least suitable month in the
year for these outdoor ceremonies.
Were the date made later, thousands
more would come from all parts of the
country to witness them who are now
afraid to venture. The exposure to
which the President and others are
is wholly unnecessary, and
the popular sentiment favorable to a
transfer of the time is so strong that
Congress can hardly help resisting the
feeling much longer.

A CONSTITUTIONAL COMPLICATION.

The States Of Virginia and Tennes-
see have for years been engaged in a
legal controversy over the town OF
Bristol. The State line has been sup
posed to run along certain street,
and any person violating the law on
one side had only to cross over and
avoid arrest until requisition could
be secured. There are two City
Councils. two Mayors, and two sets Of
police. The Inconvenience Of such Il
situation may well be imagined.
But a controversy has arisen be
tween Maryland and West Virginia Of
still greater importance, the former
claiming the entire territory lying be-
tween the north and south branches Of
the Potomac River, consisting Of six
large counties with a population Of
nearly one hundred thousand. Should
Maryland win the suit other counties
belonging to West Virginia will be en-
tirely isolated from the rest
There is no provision for the ceding
Of territory by one State to another
either in the Federal or State Consti-
tutions, though a State may cede
territory to the Federal Government.
AS each State retains all the sover-
eighty not expressly delegated to the
Federal Government it might be sup
posed that the power to sell is inner
ent in the State, and with the power
to sell goes the power to convey a
title. But the Constitution OF the
United States provides that no State
shall enter into "any agreement or
compact with another State" without
the consent of Congress, so the action
of Congress would be necessary TO
ratify any agreement on the part of
either State to sell the disputed
territory to the other
The result would be that should the
Federal court decide the case in favor
of Maryland the State of West Vir-
ginia would have several equities com
pletely isolated, and in order to effect
any compromise the action of Congress
would be required. -New York World

George Parsons Lathrop says that
Princess Kaiulani has no royal blood
in her veins, and that he is tired OF
hearing her talk of +" my throne" and
my people," Mr.. Lathrop was born
in Honolulu, and is familiar with the
political history of Hawaii. He calls
attention to the fact that the ruling
power there has not even indirectly
been connected with blood or lineage,
but has passed at hazard from one in
dividual to another, and in one in
stance was determined by popular
election.

Governor MacCorkle has vetoed the
new tax bill. The announcement Of
the veto in the House created the
greatest excitement and threatens the
passage Of the General Appropriation
bill still pending. Ever since the in
PRODUCTION of the tax bill all other
measures have been made subseryient
to it and the appropriation bill. The
independent school district bills and
others have been used in the attempt
to force the passage of the bill, A
continued attempt has been made to
force the passage Of the school tax bill
by Withholding the support of other
measures until it was passed. Even
after the passage of the bill, the ap-
preparation bill was kept hanging over
the head of the Executive during al
the five days in which he is allowed tc
veto bill, with the evident intent OF
forcing the approval of the tax bill.

What would have been said if any
one had ventured to predict six months
ago that on the last day of February a
bill repeating the Mckinley duty on
tin would be passed by the House of
Representatives without a Republi-

pened. 1t is confessed that all the
boasting of the richness of tin deposits
in this country was without foundation.
The piles of tin which were shown to

The tendency of the great American
public to seize upon every possible oc-
casion for spectacular demonstration is
intensified in the case of the forthcom-
ing Inauguration by the popular con
viction that genuine transformation
is about to be wrought in the spirit
and policy of national administration.
Everybody is expectant, many are jubi-
liant. Rarely has there approached an
Inauguration which seemed more likely
to usher in an era of political good feel
ing; never, to all appearances, have
the people been more deeply interested
in the impending transfer of national
authority.
