Silver.

One OF our correspondents took us to
task last week because we had said
that the results of the recent elections
cause Of blmetallism. We had made no
protracted argument upon the subject,
but had stated what appeared to us to
be settled facts-namely, that with an
anti-silvcp President in the executive
chair for three years. and q large Re-
publican majority elected 10 the next
House OF Representatives. silver could
not be expected to SHOW up even as
well hereafter as in the existing Con-
gress. Now read the following Wash
ington telegram in Thursdays papers:
WASHINGTON. ID. c., December r.
But seven Of the eighteen members of
the House Committee on Coinage.
Weights, and Measures responded to
Chairman BANDS call for meeting to-
day. Consequently no business was
transacted. The meeting was called for
the purpose of further considering, and,
II possible, disposing OF the Bland bill
re-enacting the free-coinage law of 1897.
The committee adjourned until Wednes-
day next. when another effort In behalf
of free coinage will be made.
Seven members OF the committee pres
ent and eleven members absent What
ground for hope is there in that statement?
What inducement was there for these
eleven absentees to attend the meeting
OF their committee? We admit, of
course. that the Committee on Coinage,
Weights, and Measures is an important
committee: but. as we have said, "hoping
against hope" is oil that that committee
irgs and attempting to draft a bill in
the interest of silver. The whole influ-
ence OF the administration is opposed TO
any proposition, let 1t originate where 1t
may. in favor OF the free coinage OF the
white metal: and Mr.. BANDS commit
teemen might as well acknowledge the
fact and govern themselves accordingly
Mr.. Carlisle's plan. or the administration
plan, as reported to the Committee on
Banking and Currency. cannot but an
tagonize any plan which may be reported
for providing place for silver in our
currency system.
We may remark here that Mr. Springer
who introduced the Carlisle bill into the
House OF Representatives, voted at the
last session OF Congress against the bill
10 abolish the tax on the circulating
notes OF State banks.

Daniels Grafton on Early.

The address Of Senator John w. Daniel
at tho annual meeting yesterday of the
Virginia Division Of the Army Of North
ern Virginia added luminous and In
valuable chapter to the history or the
struggle for southern independence, and
impaired. If possible. renewed perennial
ism to the laurels that gifted Virginian
had already won as an orator.
Senator Daniels specific theme was
General Jubal A. Early's Valley cam
pagn. But the Grafton. In the en-
tlrety of It's scope, was not only mas
terly review of General Early's whole
military record, and thorough vlndica-
ton of his Valley operations. but most
lucid exposition of the reasons for the
Valley movement The campaign was de-
scrbed from the moment of its con-
ception, in sight Of the spires OF Rich
mond." TO its close. with the result OF
sweeping away a cloud Of misapprehen-
sion regarding "the right-hand man OF
Jackson in his corps, and the right
hand man of Lee after Jackson had
fallen"
In his labor Of love and justice. Senator
Daniel demonstrated that he had made
close and exhaustive study of the mill
tary situation existing when Early set
out "to fight under a paling star" In
meeting and refuting, as he did. the adj
verse criticism of Early's conduct of the
campaign, the Senator brought to his
support an array of facts which, aside
from serving the purpose of proving the
splendid generalship of the tough old
fighter and ardent old patriot, were
deeply interesting in respect of detail.
They showed that Early kept G0,000 Fede-
rails watching him, and was vastly out
numbered at all times; that he killed,
wounded, and captured more men than
be commanded; that he was fertile of
resource and made most astounding
marches; that he struck with a battle
aAc, and parted the heaviest blows Of
he enemy with a rapier; that he was
aqually calm in victory and defeat, and
was under all circumstances the we'll
rounded and self-posed soldier.
The resolutions OF respect to the
memory Of General Early. which were
passed by the association, were n fitting
complement TO the Grafton. They were
drawn and proposed by Captain W. Cor
don McCabe, with all the beauty of die
ton and power of expression that gifted
gentleman commands.

A constitutional Convention.

There is a sentiment in Virginia fast
.pening In favor OF a convention to re-
rise and amend our State Constitution.
Some voters want a convention, SO that
he suffrage question may be settled
apon a satisfactory basis for all time.
others want 1t SO that the number OF
9ur elections may be reduced. Others so
that We may lessen the expenses of our
county and State governments, particu-
larly OF our county governments. Others
so that the fee system Of paying public
'fficers may be abolished. Others so that
we may hit upon some plan which will
make more certain the administration OF
Justice In criminal cases. Others favor q
convention for other reasons.
There are influential persons in Virginia
Who win oppose convention, but II a
sote is taken at an opportune time they
cannot hold the people back. We have
stood the Underwood Constitution for
aearly quarter OF century. We have
Borne our sufferings patiently, ana there
> no hope OF relief except from q con-
sention.

Is the Democratic Party Dead P

What with the disastrous defeat Of the
Democrats at the elections of last month.
and the diversity of opinions which pre-
vail in Congress on the tariff and cur
rency. questions. it might be thought by
some persons that the Democratic party
has no future. Mr.. Reed, ex-Speaker of
the House of Representatives, said re-
Gently that If his party would have wis
dom for two years the people would trust
them for more. AS the Providence Teie-
gram says, this remark Of Mr.. Reeds In
dicates that he desires his party ito sit
on the fence and do whatever the cir
cumstances of the day may dictate. In
a word, Mr.. Reed would have his party
friends become opportunists.
The man makes a great mistake, who
ever he is, who supposes that the Demo-
cratic party has no future. When we
recollect the perils through which that
party passed in former days we may
well hope that IT will be equally fortu-
nate hereafter.
a thoughtful Republican paper warns
the Republican party that on this sub
ject 1t should not deceive itself nor suffer
itself to be deceived by others. Political
history Is often "a concentration Of repe-
tition." The same paper gives a short
history of the latter days of the old Wing
party, and tells how this party was
finally swallowed up in the North by
the Republican party and in the South
by the Democratic party. Under the cir
cumstances which existed in 1865. at the
time of the close Of the war between
the States the Democratic party was so
unpopular that anybody would have been
justified in declaring that it had sinned
away its day Of grace and absolutely
had no future. The number Of Democrats
In the United States Senate had in 1865
run down to seven. and in the House
of Representatives to q number proper
tionally small.
But n 1868, three years after the close
of the war. the Democrats carried New
York and other States, and in 1876 car
rIed the Union for Tilden, though Hayes
was seated in the presidential chair by
the Electoral Commission. In 1884 the
Democrats carried the country. as they
did in 1892. And in 1896. they will prove
that truth crushed TO earth will rise
again." or. as Senator Thurman, of Ohio,
said recently, the Democratic party will
surely be restored to power because II
represents our free institutions and
stands for the true principles Of our
government.
We close with the following encour-
aging paragraph from a leading Republic
pcan paper:
"No, the Democratic party IS not dead.
1t lives, and its future must depend. first
on reforms within itself. and second,
mainly upon mistakes that the Republi-
can party Is liable 10 commit. and all
the more liable because of the sweeping.
| unprecedented. and bewildering events or
November, 1894"

sMYTH CIRCUIT COURT.
Proceedings in Various CONSOLIDATION
OF Regard for Judge Kelley.

MARION, VA, December 13.-tSpecial)
Tho fan term of the Circuit Court for
Smyth county began Monday, Sd instant.
with Judge John A. Kelley presiding
But few cases of any Importance were
on the docket. The case Of Il. G.. Soates
against the Mathieson Alkali-Works for
5000 damages resulted in verdict for
the defendant company. In the two cases
of Peter G. Snaveley's administrator vs..
r. p Copenhour ct ais, the jury brought
in a verdict for the defendants w. l..
Birchheld qualified as administrator OF
c. NJ. williams. who died suddenly OF
heart failure I'm our town on the 9th ulu-
mo. In a bond OF $500 with j. McWil-
liams as surety. Several cases OF minor
Importance have been disposed OF, and 1t
seems now that the term will probably
close this week. This is Judge kelley's
last sitting, az his tenure OF Office will
close on the Slst OF December instant.
Judge Kelley leaves the bench carrying
with him not only the kindest and best
wishes OF the bar OF his circuit, but the
good wishes and warmest feelings OF all
who know him. He is now about y years
Of age. and as the golden rays of pure
manhood and legal worth begin to en-
case themselves in the gray sheaths OF
the evening OF life, his Christian charac-
ter stands out I'm bold relief and drives
away the shadows that go often fall along
the pathway of prominent men. on Sa-
turday evening last the bar held n meet
ing and presented number of resolutions
Of respect, which were received with
kind and mpathetic words, and the eye
that was unused TO weep intermlngled
the sympathetic tear.

from amendments proposed by the GeIe-
raj Assembly The General Assembly
hasn't time to attend to It's own work,
and much OF It 1t does very. very hastily
and badly. And the last amendment that
Il proposed to the Constitution was
sorry Job, 30 far as literary workmanship
Is concerned. 1t will take at least sixty
days to discuss. and dispose of the suf-
frage article of the Constitution. Other
work may be going on at the same time,
but all this time could be well devoted
to n determination OF the question which
vexes us at every election; the question
of all questions with the people Of Vir-
ginia to-day. All that the convention
would cost would be well spent II through
II we could secure the ballot reform
which we so much need.
The General Assembly which we are TO
elect next fall will have to face this con-
vention question. Quite certainly they will
be called upon 10 say whether or not they
will let the people OF the State choose
whether they will or Will not authorize
q convention 10 be held. Not many Demo-
cratic members of the General Assembly
viii be found ready to deny the voters
OF this Commonwealth the right TO pass
upon this question. Men who at the polls
would vote against holding convention,
as members of the General Assembly
would vote to allow the question to be
submitted TO the decision of the people.
The Dispatch IS In favor OF having n
constitutional convention as soon as pos
sible, but we must take care to submit
the question TO a vote at an opportune
time, else we may meet with defeat
where we should expect victory.
The next Legislature is elected in No
vember, 1895 and begins its session in the
December following The next general
election would be the presidential cleo
ton OF 1896, but the Legislature need not
wait for general election. 1t may sub
nit the question to the people in the
spring or In the summer Of 1896. or at any
other time 1t has full power in the prem
ises, the Constitution saying that at the
general election to be held in the year
1883 and in each twentieth year there
after "and also AT SUCH TIME as the
General Assembly may by law provide,
the question, Shall there be a conven-
ton to revise the Constitution and amend
the same. shall be decided by the cleo
tors" sc.
Meanwhile, that IS TO say for about
four years. we shall have TO content our
selves with the present Constitution. The
Walton law can be made TO serve us till
then, especially after the defects In 1t
(Which do not seem to us to be very
great have been removed by legislative
action.

Political Preachers.

In the Religious Herald for this week
the Rev. Il. G. Jones' d. D., tells all the
world what q political preacher is. He
says:
"The divinity of the political preacher
is rather man than God his religion hui
manitarianism rather than Christianity.
To him this world is worth a thousand
heavens. time more important than eter-
nifty. Under the plea that, II the world
is TO be converted and saved. Christianity
must be brought down TO II and TO all
the affairs OF men, II these cannot at once
be raised to Christianity. the political
preacher parodies and perverts, smothers
and stiles the Gospel and is himself a
victim of his own unwise theories and in
furious practice-Just as some of the early
Christians, carrying Christianity into the
domains of gnostcism and OF paganism,
were themselves gnosticised and pagan
lied; and Just as the weak and over-zeal-
GUS enthusiast of religion. carrying re
ligion, as he says, into the world. into its
very slums and sewers. meeting the world
half way adjusting and accommodating
It TO the world. 10 It's tastes and habits.

worldliness himself than he imparts OF

The Two Objects,

The Mobile Register says that though
there is a disposition in some quarters 10
which has received the endorsement Of
President Cleveland, there is every indica-
ton that the leading minds of the coun-
try are giving 1t very serious attention.
If Mr.. Carlisle succeeds in giving to
rency system than 1t now has, he will
have earned for himself an enduring fame
The two objects which he has undertaken
to secure are--frst. an entire divorce OF
the government from the banking sys-

the whole country-for cities. towns, vii

A Small Sum.

In the United States Senate. on Tuesday
last. Mr.. Palmer, OF Illinois, introduced
for a constituent a bill appropriating mo-
ney or currency to be lent on land to
borrowers all over the Union. Mr.. Pal
mer said he thought the sum total was
sS5. Ooo, 10000, but Mr.. PETER corrected him
and said 1t was three billions more.
What would $3s0oo, 10000 of fiat money
be worth In gold? Look at the figures.
The sum to be lent out at per cent. Is
not $3s.OO0.0o0 but $SS0ooo00oo.
Well. a distinguished Virginia editor
once said that he was In favor Of . cur
rency system which would cover the whole
earth with greenhacks or Treasury notes.
We suggest to Mr.. PETER that he might
a. well print notes Of the denomination
Of thousand dollars as notes Of the
denomination of ten dollars.
