,s N the postion of the ofiice-holders
an this constitutional conventiom ques-
tion. we wot not, but If they are sensi-
bic they will not oppose openly, at least
the proposed convention. Let the ONCE
holders inaugurate anything Ike an or
ganized fight against the convention ana
the people will have 1t at all hazard.
We are frank TO say that SUCH nsht
would do more TO convert the state 10
the convention idea than any argument
that has yet been advanced.-The Rich
mond State.
The views of the State are sound. We
may add, however that the Office
holders. as a rule, are sensible and pa
triotic men. The great majority Of them
will favor constitutional convention H.
In their honest judgment. II seems to be
the best thing for the State. Yes: patrl-
otto purpose will control the most OF
them AS for the rest, you can depend
upon u that they can see how the cat
is Jumping as clearly as any other set
of men on earth, and will act according
~: but an ohice-holder should not be
viewed with suspicion because he hap
pens TO believe that this moment Is not
the favorable moment for taking vote
on the convention question. On this point
many disinterested Democrats differ. Our
own convictions are strong that we would
better leave the members Of the next
Legislature perfectly untrammelled to say
when they meet. and with all the light
that is then before them, when the con-
vention question should be submitted TO
the voters of Virginia.

s,,xcr ncpublicans in Kansas.

In a convention at Topeka oil thou-
sand delegates the Republicans OF NAN
sas on Thursday declared as follows
"The Republican party brought pros
perity TO the country through us loreisn
and financial policy, and it Will bring PACK PACK
a monetary policy and coinage system
which will Immediately add to our reve,
nue. the product of our own mines ana
restore silver to its old place as one OF
the money metals
That is a roundabout way OF saying
that the Republicans Of Kansas are ior
coming into silver dollars, at the market
price. all the silver that may be produceu
in this country.
The same convention declared ntseit
opposed to any more tariff tinkering'
But the eastern Republicans are not go
ing to pay much attention to the utter

r,..,r,c,,x and Patents.

There are some persons who think
that the United States patcnt-laws OPP
crate TO the injury of the public. In
doubtedly something may be said on 'ha'
side of the question. but we are not pre-
cared to believe that as many uscioi
inventions would be made In the absence
OF patent-laws as are now made HOW
ever. Mr.. II. Ward Leonard has been
travelling through Europe, and comes
back with the conviction that this country
IL rapidly losing the lead which II mas
heretofore maintained In the race OIL
electrical development. We quote a
Philadelphia paper-aa follows
1.-THE explanation OF this Mr.. Leonaru
finds in the gigantic corporations wnen
dominate the electrical field. and TO wn'cn
oppositIop is hardly possible on accodn'
OF their financial strength. These corpV,
rations have their capital largely in'es',u
in or represented by patents. ana they Wv
not desire the practical trial OF proniis
ing Improvement which they do no, con
troll. and the success Of which wouio Wv,
preclate the devices or methods when
they do control. or claim to control lie
found in Europe In successful operation
American inventions that are unknown
here: the monopoly In electrical patents
had practically suppressed them. III
England Mr.. Leonard found a muitituue
OF medium-sized manufacturing concerns
in the field of electrical engineering anu
the competition in ideas was sharp. mere
a couple OF concerns have secured W
means Of patents control OF eiectrica ,l
engineering which enables them 10 checA
the further progress Of the art.
We do rot see that Mr.. Leonard sus-
ges,s any remedy for this wrons-h
wrong II be--of providing for patentns
useful inventions. The length OF time
for which a patent should hold good IL
a matter that comes into consideration
here.
But IL will be difficult TO convince the
world that the thousands of inventions
which have been made and used in the
United States have not operated 10 uhe
advantage OF the general public. uhder
our system the poor man who makes
a valuable Invention. is backed up py
his rich nelghbor, and often boih make
fortunes. VIII not men cease entireiy
70 invent II their inventions are not pro-
tected by law? Where, for instance,
would be our electric street-raiiroaos IL
there had been no patent laws!

a Richmond dispatch to the Washing
ton Post hints pretty broadly that Gene
raj Lee owes his appointment 10 the col
lectorship to his sound-money views, and
that il was made with the expectation
that he would lead in this office-holders'
onslaught in Virginia politics, having
among other objects the defeat of Sena-
tor Daniel for the Senate because Of his
free-slver views. However true the an
nouncement referred TO above may be,
we. Of course, do not for an instant be-
leve that General Lee has ever con-
scented TO assume the leadership Of an
administration machine that has set out
to control Virginia politics.-The Rock
bridge News.
President Is informed as to the views
that General Lee holds on the currency
question. No sooner had the President
ascertaned that Lee would accept the
collectorship than he expressed his pur-
pose to appoint him. He had no oppor-
tunity to sound" Lee on his views as
to whether Lee favors or opposes the
free coinage Of silver at the ratio of l6
to /, or at any other ratio.
Senator Daniels successor will not be
elected by the Legislature to be chosen
this fall, but by the succeeding Legisla-
ture. 1t is true. however, that the sena-
tors who will be elected this fall will be
members of the Legislature which will
have the choosing OF Major Daniels sue
cessor.

Hopest Money and Honest Elections

The Times's leading editorial ar
ticle of yesterday morning Is
substantial. though far from frank
admission Of our charge against
II OF sham morality. High sounding as
have been its phrases as 10 the respect
II has for the rights Of all voters. IL
has 10 confess that In certain political
crises It would consider the numbering
Of voters justifable. However, the Times
does not use the tword i"murdering.'
"Open force" Is the euphcmism that IL
has adopted for this occasion; but hose
who remember its editorial in reply TO
It's Southampton inquirer. and that one
threatening new 'Danville riots" can
have no doubt as to what the Times
means by "open force"
So the public, whenever 1t reads the
Tmes's 'honest-elections' sermons VIII
not forget that they come from a pull
piteer who has repeatedly avowed himself
in substance) as willing TO see the white
PEOPLE Of Virginia, when in "extremities,
carrying their elections by shooting down
the opposition voters.
Inasmuch as the people would have
10 decide for themselves, and on the
Instant, when such "extremities' were
at hand, an adoption Of the Illness doc
trine might bring on bloodshed and the
loss Of scores of lives at any election
held in Virginia.
Hereafter In this State those who take
the law into their own hands and bring
on "Danville riots" will be able to refer
10 the Times's teachings in justification
of their conduct. Not only So but they
will be able to plead that this Is the
brave and true way of solving such po-
Htlcal problcms-a better way than is
provided by the Walton law or the alter
nation OF names.
The Times takes upon itself a fearful
responsibility in thus proclaiming the
policy of open force" When we
contrast its shotgun policy with
It's Sunday sermonettes and its fire.
Guent lectures on political morality
we are Oo paraphrase the Tlnes) almost
led 10 think, in these bewildering contra
dictions. that the Times does not appre-
bend in the ordinary way the elementary
principles OF morality, or is incapable
of following UP the logical consequences
of deprayity
The Times very adroltly attempts 10
change the subject and divert attention
from the question at issue by asking the
Dispatch to declare itself for honest
money. We have always declared in
favor Of honest money, will continue to
declare In favor OF honest money. and.
furthermore, we declare that the Times
is wrong In fact and in morals, when 1t
saws that the suppression OF an ignorant
vote is crime. while the shotgun
policy or murder is justifable.
