Real Ballot Reform In Virginia.

The baltimore Sun has had several edi-
torial articles with reference to ballot re-
form in the South, and in this connection
II comments 10 the careful consideration
OF the people Of Virginia the propriety OK
assembling a convention 10 revise ana
amend the State Constitution.
The Sun Is right In supposing mat true
and lasting ballot reform can be secured
bes, through the medium OF a convention
We are in a position 10 tell the SUM- 100
that to-day thousands of Virginians favor
q convention who did not relish the IDEA
at all when It was proposed In the House
OF Delegates at the last session by Mr.
Withers. OF Danvllle.
Mr.. withes SIS resolution to submit the
question 10 vote OF the people was
promptly vo,ed down, but unless there ID
a revolution in public opinion soon the
next House will be as ready to adopt such
a resolution a. the last House was 10
reject II. There may not be quite so much
unanimity in the Senate as in the House.
but even there we believe that the friends
OF a convention will be in the majority.
The average Democratic member VIII
not care to put himself on record against
allowing the people the opportunity or
saying at the polls whether they are or
are not in favor of assembling a conven-
ton. He may be determined in his own
mind that when the question is submitted
he will vote mo; but he will not be dis
posed TO deny the people the privilege OF
passing upon this question Knowing how
popular and prevalent will be this view,
we feel almost sure that the General AS
sembly 10 be elected in November. 1895,
will agree to submit the question TO the
vote Of the people.
But the Sun doubtless knows that num-
bers of the men who are clamoring about
ballot reform" in Virginia are opposed
TO having a convention. Strange. but
true. Some Of these opponents OF con-
vention do not want Virginia to have any
other suffrage qualification in her Constl-
tuition than that she now has. Others
are afraid that our county government
system will be changed II a convention
is held. Others oppose convention for
other reasons-some Of those reasons being
purely personal.
And yet we hazard little In saying that
unless sOme genius arises and shows the
people how the General Assembly can give
a quietus TO the squabbles which follow
every election in this State, the conven-
ton will be surely ordered,
The Walton law (Which we would
amend. but not Destroy ought to serve
VI until the convention meets.

No Notes Under Ten Dollars,

We gave the other day what the New
York Journal OF Commerce had said as
20 that feature OF Mr.. Carlisle's cur
rency bill which provides that no ma
tional bank notes OF less denomination
than ten dollars shall be issued. That
paper dislikes the feature in question
very much. Other papers have come out
In opposition 20 It, Mr.. Walker. Of Massa-
chusetts. friend OF the feature. tells
Us that II was put into the bill to make
place for silver and silver certificates.
The object may be a good one. but the
feature under consideration ought not 10
be Incorporated into the new law. We
quote paragraph from Mr., Walkers
speech:
AS to the requirement. that no ma
tional bank notes OF less denomination
than $40 shall DO issued, am not sure
but that this IL a wise provision-though
had drafted II / should have limited
the new currency TO notes OF Is or over
! should have done this however, not
specially 10 make a place for silver and
silver certificates In order to relieve the
Treasury from possible trouble In their
regard. but In order 10 leave the mass
OF the money In the hands of the great
est number OF our people. just the ones
who, In any case OF dstrust Of note cur
reney, are the first TO become alarmed
and though each can do but little, cause
IN the aggregate great amount OF trou-
eie-as nearly as may be such as needs
no redemption. This may not be impor-
tant but l think II worth while taking
into account. IT, however, we are to at
tempt efectually TO limit the denomina-
TONS OF bank notes In order 10 make
room for coin currency. We must apply
the same limit TO the State bank issues
as Well To BE- sure each OF these latter
VIII be 10 a grea. extent local: but with
local issues Of small bills In every locality
OF the United States. fail 10 see any ad-
dit'onal room provided for greater
quantity OF coin currency"
Mr.. Walker is right as TO this last mat
ter, II the national banks are forbidden
TO Issue notes OF less denomination than
w the State banks must also be forbid
den to issue them. They are needed not
only by editors and merchants. but by
hundreds OF thousands Of other persons.
who like Mr. Walker can see no room
provided for In the Carlisle substitute for
greater amount Of coin currency.

rha rtr,t R.ximsns.

II 10 understood 70 b the purpose OF
the Governor to order court OF inquiry
to report upon the dissensions existing
among the officers OF our First Regi-
ment OF Infantry.
We think that this IL the proper course
to pursue. And we hope that the court
viii be given power 20 inquire into the
whole cause OF the trouble, which. in the
opinion OF many. 10 Of long standing.
The Dispatch has ever been an ardent
friend OF the regiment Our attachment
for 1t began about forty years ago. We
took pride In its organization. With
confidence and pride. we watched II du-
ring the war. We were glad to see It re-
organized after the war. We have tried to
aid It in all OF its enterprises. We have.
often commended 1t for services that II
has performed for this city and State. We
wish to see II increase In numbers and
efficiency; but this can hardly be expected
Of II while 80 many Of the company off,
GERS are at variance with the colonel.
A house divided against itself cannot
stand; neither can regiment
We shall not undertake to say who Is
right and who IN wrong in the questions
at issue. Indeed, we have little knowledge
of the facts. except that 1t has been
long while since the officers were as har-
monious and brotherly as they should
have been for the good OF the command.
1t is time now to call halt; time to
compose the differences, IL 1t. be possible
10 compose them. And II the interpretation
Of friends will not avail. then other steps
must be taken to preserve the efficiency
OF the organization.
Our regimental friends may be sure that
unless their troubles are soon settled, the
regiment will lose ground In the esteem
Of the community-ground that 1t will
find hard TO recover.
