A Fire Friday Night.

The house and contents of Anthony
 Neal n colored man who lives at the corner of Tenth avenue and Vir- ginia street, was destroyed by fire. The fire was undoubtedly of incen- diary origin. Anthony says that he saw some parties attempting to burn house opposite his a few nights ago, and he is certain that the same parties set fire to his house. Several arrests have been made and several more are expected to follow The house was insured for $250 and a like amount was placed on furniture.

and reversal, a party is bound only until
the next national convention" That is
TO say, the Democratic party was bound
up 10 1884, not 20 say 1892, TO carry out
the Randall resolutions Of previous Demo-
cratic national conventions. but was re-
leased from that obligation so soon az
the Chicago platform OF Iso2 was adopted.
The Chicago convention OF 1899 made "a
constitution" for the Democratic party.
quoth the Sun, and all good Democrats
must stand by that constitution. But
that constitution will cease in 1896 TO
bind any mans conscience, and become
as mere rubbish. The promises and
pledges now held to be the constitution
Of the party Will be consigned to the
moles and the bats, and new promises
and pledges be made.
But suppose the Democratic National
Convention of 1896 should return to the
old Randall platform. and make that the
constitution OF the Democratic party for
four years: what then? Would our New
York contemporary continue 10 teach that
the platform OF 1882 was binding upon all
good Democrats until they had carried
out its provisions and pledges?
The Sun fails to notice the proposition
the absurd proposition. II we may so
style it-that the Democratic party is
bound not 10 levy a tax upon incomes
because the Democratic National Conven-
ton of 1892 did not declare In favor of
that measure. II that proposition Is true.
H. md the "a p
QUESTION OF Hawaii by the United States.
nor take any steps looking to that de-
sirable end. Nay, II the Sun be right.
no new measure OF foreign or domestic
policy can be introduced into Congress.
AS the income-tax must be ignored be-
cause 1t is not mentioned in the Demo-
cratic platform OF 1892. so must all new
measures be ignored. no matter who pro-
poses them, nor how important they are.
why? Because they are not named In
the party's national platform.
Logic Is logic; that's all / say"
This logic is what our New York con-
temporary calls party dishonesty" But
II Is evidently question OF only year
or two as to when that paper will adj
vocate that sort Of party dishonesty
Mr.. Rayner Of Maryland said the other
day in the House OF Representatives that
the advocates OF the abolition of the 10
per cent tax on the issues of State banks
might as well tell him that he was bound
10 abolish the Ten Commandments as
to tell him that he was bound 10 abolish
that tax. Mr.. Rayner teaches the right
doctrine, His conscience cannot be bound
by any such declaration. And we ven
ture to predict that If the platform OF the
next Democratic National Convention
pledges the party to an income-tax the
Sun VIII initiate Horace Greeley's con-
duct in 1852. and spit upon the platform"
Nay, did not that paper repudiate both
the candidate and the platform in 1884?

The Powers of a Convention.

The Constitutional Convention Of New
York, now in session, has declined TO
allow the Supreme Court OF that State
to interfere with It I'm the discharge OF
what it considers its duties. 1t has re-
fused TO obey the process of that court, or
an injunction intended 20 enjoin 1t from
unseating a member. taking the ground
New York, and represents the sovereignty
Of that State.
We think the convention is undoubt-
eddy right. The case is akin to one in
Indiana concerning which we have here
tofore had something to say-not that
the Indiana case was one in which
constitutional convention was concerned,
but because both cases concern the in
reference of the Judicial Department OF
State government with what we may
call the Legislative Department.
The Secession Convention OF Virginia
in 1861 passed laws or ordinances touching
whatever subjects presented themselves
to that body as proper objects or subjects
of legislation. one OF the ordinary laws
which it passed or ordained was a
stay-law. The ordinances of secession
passed by the several States were the
work of state conventions. But no pre-
cedents need be invoked. II State
Constitutional Convention has the power.
as it has. to abolish all the courts in
that State such a convention could ana
would make short work of displacing
oontumacious judges. We are surprised
that "A New York judge should be so ILL
grounded In constitutional law as TO
usurp for himself the powers belonging 10
a State Convention.
As We understand the matter, state

ments Of the State government-legisla-
tive executive, and judicial The MEM
hers of such "A convention are entrusted
with all the machinery of government
or as much Of It as the three several de-
partments named had exercised before the
assembling Of the convention itself.
Another question is raised when we
come TO consider what powers the Fed
eral courts would have In such case
as this one in New York. II a state
Judge usurps jurisdiction where he has
none. United States judge might usurp
jurisdiction in a similar case. Would the
Now York convention have treated "A
Federal court as it treated the STATE
Judge?

Light the Statue.

Tho suggestion made a few days age
bv tho Dlspatch that the Soldiers and
Sailors monument should be lighted at
night by a circlet Of electric-lamps placed
near the foot Of the bronze figure meets
with much approval.
The effect would be unique and agree
able. and further result would be that
that memorial of our Lost Cause would
he more conspicuous than ever. 1t would
then be- In the public eye day and night.
The only objection that we hear urged
10 the lighting is the cost but we imagine
that this would not be so large as to in
torpose a barrier to what would prove
great and novel attraction to all of our
people.
In our opinion the erection of the Sol
diers and Sailors monument on Libby
Hin is going to be OF much benefit. sub
stantial benefit 10 that section OF the
town. Undoubtedly Il beauties Libby

tons Of that lovely spot makes that
vicinity more desirable as residential

strangers who visit Richmond is that our
fashionable centre is not or our eastern
hills instead Of in the West-End: but
We all know that fashion IS Unreasonable
and uncontrollablc

We Fought for Our Rights.

II wasn't the New South that applaudeo
the utterances OF General Rosser and the
Rev. Mr.. Cave at Richmond last Wednes,
dav. And when the Old South has had
time To cool down and think the matter
over II will begin TO wonder II 1t didn't
overdo the business a little.-Chicago
Tribune.
All such comments as the above are
based upon a misrepresentation OF the true
state Of the case The southern people are
none the less loyal TO the nation or its
flag because they stoutly contend that
they fought for their rights under the
Federal Constitution. Virginia, for exam
pie. stipulated in her ordinance ratifyins
the Federal Constitution that she was to
have the right to withdraw from the
Union whenever she was oppressed or de-
MED her rights. If her rights had been
accorded to her. she would not have tried
to secede. So In trying to do what the
other States had agreed she should do
whenever she desired so to do. Virginia
was in very truth fighting for her "con-
stitutional rights" and Mr.. Cave simply
stated fact when he made this aver
ment But our northern brethren vii,
leave descendants who in the future Will
treat the southern cause as Macaulay
treated the 'rebels" OF Charles lis day.

The President and the Platform

Our esteemed contemporary. the New
York Sun, undertakes TO reply 10 an in
terrogatory which we recently addressed
to that paper. How long," we asked,
sis party bound by Its declarations
made In its national Conventions The
reply is that with reference TO the coun-
try in general and its own honor, It is
bound until II carries out It's declarations. Z"
The sun gives itself away" IL we may
be permitted to employ that phrase. For
II the Democratic party is bound by honor
to stand by the tariff declarations IN
its national platforms until they are en-
acted into laws, then the Der,ocratic
party is still bound by the Randall plat
forms, which 1t put forth In two or more
national platforms and viii continue TO
be bound thus until II carries out its
declaration" Is to say. forever.
But our New York contemporary seeks
10 avoid the logical consequences Of its
dictum, as above quoted. by explaining
that in reference to its power OF review

better tell their marauding fishermen the

be at the risk OF their lives. The patience

Richmond's Income and Expenses.

proposing to rcducc the salaries of our
city officials met with the adverse fac

The members had not the information

;eihgcntly --there has been no oarcfGl
investigation on this linc--and bes.dc
the OLD Council IS about to go out and IN.
new Council 10 come in.
The subject, however, is not yet dis
IOstd OF. by no means. IT, AS ~e are
Informed, our expenditures are s.eator
than our income-if. as is alleged, We
are going into debt 10 meet our t.,Gal
e.,ponses-then sooner or later public
opinion Will demand that a stop o. put
&c that course.
Mayor Ellyson. in repeated messages
10 the City Council. has urged that Rich
mond should live within her income, and
he voices the judgment of all prudent
men. Nor Will intelligent public opinion
sustain any proposition which looks TO
"economizing" by allowing our streets
TO go down. while other expenses are
kept up. Not half enough money Is spent
upon our streets now to curtail this sum
would be stupendous folly; folly such as
no sagacious businessman would be
guilty of i'm the management OF his own
affairs The sidewalks of Richmond are
RAPIDLY deteriorating, and IL the Supreme
Court of Appeals will not allow the cost
of renewals TO be taxed upon abutting pro-
perty-owners, that work will have TO be
done at the cost of the city, and 1t cannot
be delayed much longer.
The correct course to be pursued would
seem to be for the incoming City Council
20 appoint special committee TO con-
slider this subject In all of its bearings.
So much ridicule has been visited upon
the term 'retrenchment and reform"
probably 1t would be we'll for the investi-
eating committee TO be called by another
name than that.
After thorough investigation has been
made. then the City Council can act ad-
visedly. Its duty will be plain. 1t ought
to reduce expenses within the bounds Of
our present income. or raise the rate Of
taxation. The question ought not 10 be
lodged by carrying a large floating debt.
Let us have a straight-out. business-like
and well-understood policy.

us to do so. All experience goes TO show
that outsiders would better not NEEDLE
