The Times's IIarping.

(ChariOtteSVllle JeIerSOndn)
The Richmond Times. still harping on
my daughter" says:
The Dispatch is incredulous concern
ing the charges that our elections in
many or the negro counties are unfair.
An we have To say to the Dispatch is
that If IL will make the Inquiries il can
easily learn the state Of the case.
Under the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS law
both political parties are represented in
The officers who conduct the elections.
and representatives Of both parties count
the votes. If there Is sharp practice on
either side 1t must be known to Doth par
ties. If there is no protest or resistance in
any form there is either nothing to protest
AGAINST or there is acquiescence IN the
fraud. Where and how, under this state
OF the case. can the wrong be placed on
the law? IS r. not to be placed elsewhere?
an is il reasonable TO believe that in
two or three thousand precincts there Is
scarcely one-if there is one-where the
R.uu6lican officers would not cry out
AGAINST fraud if any were committed!
Are all Republican officers venal? Or do
they whisper To their party brethren that
tb.v will never consent TO sin, and yet
consent
Learning the state Of the case" Is
mot ACCOMPLISHED b. taking the aibdaNits
of , few soreheads and impracticdOle
theorists. In almost any community
f... fellows. not necessarily Of the baser
sort could be found 20 unite in declara-
,i,n that m,re morality is higher law
,bon religion. or that the Bible Is not

Tho virginia Debt Question.


The adjustment company. which - en-
deayoring to make Il settlement ot the
,exed question OF the proportion Of the
d.ht Of Virginia which West Virginia
may owe. has submitted what appears TO
he a fair proposition 10 the advisory board
40 the alleged creditors Of West Virginia.
,'ho company finally realizes that the only
solution OF the question r. the one which
West Nirrinians have always contendei
fo,. in this controversy. II says:
West Virginia does not recognize any
duty or obligation Ia this behalf except TO
VIRGINIA. Hence these creditors can ncvr:
realize anything from either state until
Vne;nia has agreed with West VII GINA
,ce, Getting the mount TO b. paid by West
Virginia as her proportion OF the debt m
c,.rred before the Old State was di-
vlded.
The certificates issued by Virginia 10
rcprpsent the amount she set aside TO
nv alt her settlement with West Virginia
exceed the Just proportion for the new
St,te and largely exceed The amount Nir-
,,inia should ask West Virginia 10 pay.
West Virginia has always been ready L"
contract TO pay whatever may be her
lust share Of the debt II she owes any
Of n. but she steadfastly refused and will
continue 10 refuse 10 abide by the arbl-
ttary decision OF Virginia as to the amount
OF that share. They are Virginias bonds,
not West Virginia's. until the two States
reach a mutually satisfactory agreement.
West Virginia will settle on no other basis,
To- no other basis would be just 10 her
c.tizens and taxpayers.

4 Constitutional Convention.

The Danviue Register. which strongly
advocates the holding OF a convention
10 revise the present Constitution. gives
excellent reasons for the position that
II takes on this question. II lss'r;s, and
with great truth, that the township sys-
tom Of government has entailel much
greater cost 10 the taxpayers OF the
state than the system that IL suDpl1nted.
and argues that If We are 20 reduce
criminal expenses and have a more speedy
enforcement of the criminal laws With
less expense 10 the Commonwealth, II
g. % be reached by Il change in orr
courts" IL further says: There
should be such change in the right
Of suffrage that win place :he political
control in the hands OF the intelligent
and patriotic citizens ana shut 1t the
ignorant and venaL The corruption ana
dishonesty In elections, of which COM
plant is made. Is directly .raca1hle 10
the ignorance and venality of many or
the voters"
The truth Of the matter is that the
suffrage clause Of the Underwood Con-
stltution has been the direct cause OF
all the election scandals that have oc-
CURED in Virginia during the past
tWenty-four years. and il occurs 10 us
that the time has arrived when We
should go 10 the root Of the matter
and eradicate the evil. This can be
done by the adoption of plan Of voting
which. without saying 50. would impose
an educational qualification, such as Il
large majority Of the States Of the ~ ION
have adopted. or by a change OF the
Constitution The first-named plan would
produce spcedier results in the direction
of an improved suffrage, but change
Of the Constitution would embrace, as
the Register says, other matters which
REQUIRE attention
