The Remedy,

The Manufacturer, OF Philadelphia. has
the following paragraph. which makes
Its appearance at a rather inopportune
moment. We recognize the fact that
the next House Of Representatives will
be Republican body by a large majority.
and. therefore, will not be likely to fall
In with any scheme for coining more
silver dollars. The Manufacturer, how
ever. still hopeA against hope. and says:
THE only possible remedy for the per-
sistent shrlnkage Of values. therefore,
Is to restore silver to its place as stand
ard money. co-ordinately with gold. To
the performance OF that feat the Re
publican party is now called-frst, by
the fact that silver was demonetized
without intention, perhaps) by Re-
publican Congress, and second, by the
fact that the Republican party Is pledged
by its record and It's promises TO pro-
tect American interests from destructive
European policies of every kind. How
the great task shall be performed may
be permitted TO remain undecided. The
attempt might be made to do 1t with
European cooperation outside OF Eng
land: with the help Of the slver-using
nations of this hemisphere and Of Asia:
or by imposing discriminating tariff du-
ties upon the wares of European nations
who refuse their assent. The important
thing is the resolution that 1t shall be
done by one means or another; and that
this mighty nation will not consent to
sit still and suffer while waiting the per-
mission of the British government to
bring relief TO Its impoverished and I'M

Constitutionality of tho Legislature.
(New York Correspondence Baltimore
SUM-

There seems TO be some slight basis to
the talk that the legality Of the Republi-
can LEGISLATURE which will meet here IN
January will be tested In the courts OF the
State. The Tammany Hall leaders, of
course would like to save their vast pat
ronage. now threatened by the removal
bill being drawn up by the Committee OF
Seventy authorizing Mayor-Elect Strong
to remove all the heads OF the city depart
ments OF New York. and would contest
In the courts with bitterness the constitu-
tionality of the Legislature II they thought
there was any chance OF annulling il.
Senator Hill said that no steps could be
taken in regard to the Legislature until
1t should have passed some law and 1t
should have been approved by Governor
Morton: then test case could be made In
the courts and the constitutionality OF
the law decided. 1t will be remembered
that John Boyd Thacher. chairman Of the
Executive Committee Of the Democratic
State Committee. previous to the election,
was positive that the Legislature elected
this fall would be abolished II the new
Constitution should be adopted. since this
provided for Legislature of POO members
and the present Legislature has only 100
members.
The Constitution, which will go into eff
feet January LIST, says the Assembly shall
consist Of 80 members and that there
shall be fifty senators. 1t contains no.
thing. the Democrats say. that will make
II possible for the 12S Assemblymen elect
ed this fall and the thirty-two senators
who were elected last fall to perform any
OF the duties of Legislature next year.

Convention ana the Walton Law.

II Is not too soon to commence ag1ta'
ton for a constitutional convention IN
Virginia or at least TO recommence IL
where IL was left off, We must have
convention sooner or later, and the
sooner the better.-The Danville Register
18th.
Several months ago when there was
such an outcry for constitutional con-
yention 10 reduce expense OK govern,
ment in Virginia the State contehded
that the prime motive behind this move
ment was the Acknowledgement OF the
negro. II would appear that we were
Knocking around the truth.-The fich-
mond State. 18th.
A constitutional convention cannot be
held too soon for us. but we must say
that II the Walton law grows In favor
nj the elections to be held next year,
there are many voters who Will be dis-
posed to postpone the consideration Oh
the convention question.
Without a doubt the suffrage article
would be a great question for the con-
yention to consider. but reform in public
expenditures would also receive careful
attention. In other words some people
favor a convention for one reason, some
for another, but when held the conven-
ton could and would consider ALL How
ever. as we have said, II the Walton law
Is found to suit for county and legtsla-
tive elections the convention question Will
not be pressed as It otherwise would be.
The Walton law has been tried at con-
gressional elections. Next spring 1t will
be tried at county elections; next fall at
legislative elections. Before the General
Assembly meets II will thus have been
subjected 10 the most thorough and ex-
haustive tests possible. All that is good
and all that is bad In 1t the public will
see clearly. The course Of the two houses
of our General Assembly will then be
plain.
If the law is perfected and continued.
a constitutional convention will be little
In demand-otherwise otherwise.
Nearly every state in the South has
now put the suffrage question upon
safe and permanent basis. South Caro-
lima, Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas
are among the States which In one way
or another have put premium upon in
teligence In voters.
And II l. safe TO say that the Demo-
Gratis of North Carolina will never be
content until they have regained power
in that State and adopted the best safe
guards possible against surprises such as
that experienced by them on November
9th; surprises made possible only by
reason of the existence there Of an igno-
rant and venal voting population plastic
as clay in the hands Of demagOgues
and agitators.
We long ago accorded to the Danville
Register the honor of leadership in the
movement for constitutional conven-
ton. Now we ask 1t to wait and hear
the ultimate verdict upon the Walton
law before again giving the convention
question the first place in the discussion
Of Virginia public questions.

Our New York contemporary thus
charges that the era Of steam machinery
has wrought revolution In the industries
OF the world. Consumptive capacity has
not kept pace with productive capacity.
Where Is the statesman who can suggest
a remedy for this deplorabie state OF
things? We cannot believe that men are
in such a helpless condition that they
will never be able to get rid Of these
terrible evils. Our New York -contem-
porary gives the following advice:
'The permanent adjustment OF these
new conditions requires time. and must
arise mainly from the creation or new
wants In consumption. But for this we
must wait. how long. perhaps no prophet
will venture to predict. The force OF
events will dictate the date for this
aesthetic stage Of civilization, and It. Is
sure to appear when 1t Is ripely due. In
the mean time. we may safely leave the
welfare Of oil classes In the keeping OK

Growers Convention passed resolution
declaring that overproduction was one OF
the causes OF the depressed condition
of the cotton business.

Churohmen At tho Front.

The Methodists. the Bapusts. and the
Disciples OF Virginia are all holding
their annual State conferences. or associa-

sent to the rear for while and church,

1t Is an agreeable change. 1t IL well
for the people that political topics should
give way to religious topics. as these have
calming effect upon the public mind.
We need quieting influences after all the
excitement that we have gone through Of
late. And then Thanksgiving-Day is near
ing. when we are to consider how I'M
worthy we are OF any divine favor, yet
how richly God has blessed US. All the
prosperity and happiness that we enjoy
come from Him: all the misfortunes and
miseries we have are OF our own making.

Only Two Parties.
The Atlanta Journal quotes leedint

The Atlanta Journal quotes a leading
Populst as follows:
"There can be no doubt of one lesson
learned from the recent election, ana tha'
is there is no room In this country Tor
three parties When left the Democratic
party / was not heading for the Repupn-
can camp. If the Democratic party VIII
correct the abuses in the ballot system,
/ will renew my allegiance. and l be-
lieve there are thousands Of other Popu-
lists who will do the same thing. IL
is certain that we cannot be a national
party. and this election emphasizes that
fact"
That no third party can survive more
than one defeat is q lesson which we
tried to impress upon our readers during
the recent campaign. Let the Virginia
Populists hasten to align themselves with
their old associates, the Democrats.

baltimore Sun,

NASuiIAsStS DNAay
Mr.. John Cooper. Of Baltimore. who
recently bought loo acres Of land near
whealton's Wharf, on the Rappahan-
mock river, Virginia, has just obtained
an option on 5000 acres adjoining his nrst
purchase. 1t is said he wants the land for
q colony of Lithuaniane, who wish to
come to this country to settle and engage
In farming He Is endeavoring to secure
Is, 900 additional acres, 10 az to make the
whole tract for the colony 1900 acres.
An effort will be made to secure the en-
tire acreage needed In one continuous
tract This would enable the colonists 10
keep together. to maintain their methods
Of living, social relations. and to have
their own schools and churches. 1t Is be-
lieved that such q plan would make them
more contented with their changed condi-
ton until they become accustomed to the
section in which they settle.
UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Mr.. Cooper has consulted with Mr..
Henry williams, president Of the Weems
Line OF steamers, and asked him IL his
company will build wharf and make
the location Of the colony one OF the
regular stopping-points for the Kappa
hammock steamers. In the event OF the
success of the colonization plan. Mr.. VII
liams said he would take the matter
under consideration.
1t Is understood that some New York
capitalists are interested in the project
Mr.. Cooper and those associated with him
will make a trip Of inspection to the
section where the land they wish to buy
is situated. They will fully examine the
neighbc. hood and inform themselves OF
the prospects for a successful colony be-
fore closing the deal. The purchase al
ready made is part Of the Mayo estate,
and Is on Moratico creek.
Between one thousand five hundred and
two thousand families. 1t Is said. viii form
the colony. 1t is their purpose to engage
In truck-farming, for which the land In
view Is admirably adapted.
The Lithuanians, az a rule. are an agri-
cultural people, but those expected TO be
colonized have given up farming. and
have worked in the mines In Russia. and
other territory contiguous to their coun-
try. They are not suited to mining, and
are looking around for new homes.
