GOOD ADVICE.

The Roanoke World says that the
Dispatch gives four sensible considera-
lions for the guidance of the approach
ing Democratic State Convention. and
then copies those considerations as fol-
lows:
/. That the Democrats cannot possibly
carry Virginia next fall if they rule
out the silverites.
2. That the Democrats cannot possibly
carry Virginia next fall If they rule
out the sound-money men.
3. That the Democratic party cannot
possibly elect the next President Of the
United States without the aid and CO.
operation of the sound-money men.
l. That the Democratic party cannot
possibly elect the next President OF the
United States without the aid and CO.
operation of the free-silver-coinage
Democrats.
The World reinforces our contention,
and says:
Further than this, IL is important that
the convention should not attempt TO
devise a miserable straddle of the sill
yer question. Should this be done, the
delegates would find. when they get 10
CHICAGO that they were without a fol-
lowing, and at sea, without a compass
The people are tired of such battling.
The question is a great and living one.
which has already confronted us toe
long. We have confidence IN the wis
dom of the party in Virginia to indicate
our attitude, so far as this State is con-
ceruel"

which has Just held It's annual convention
here.
The association numbers about one hun
drcd and forty members, representing
leaaing transportation lines all over this
country. Canada, and Mexico. and for In
telligence and business capacity these
gentlemen cannot fail to make notable
Impression whenever and wherever they
gather. Their ex-president. Mr. Charles
i. Taylor and our other local railroad
men, deserve the thanks Of the people Of
Richmond for inducing the association 70
meet in annual convention here, and the
courtesy extended the body by the Cham
Der OF Commerce and the Virginia Navi-
cation Company was at once a happy
thought. and a proper recognition Of the
important relation the association bears
to the business interests of the commu-
nifty.
The members Of the association were
made to feel thoroughly at home during
their stay in Richmond, and most Of the
time not consumed by the sessions OF the
convention was spent by the visitors In
familiarizng themselves with the beauties
Of our city and its advantages as bust
ness and industrial centre, and in 5ecom-
ing acquainted with our people. The fact
that many Of the agents were accompa-
MED by lady members Of their families
accentuated the social pleasures derived
from their visit The so'ourn in our city,
brief as II was Of men gifted with the
tact and disccrnment. and having the in
huence Of the members Of this association,

The agents saw much here that pleased
them. and they know how TO describe
what they saw.

The new Board of Visitors TO the Deaf
Dumb, and Blind Institution. at Stanton
at their first meeting, last Monday. made
q good start by permitting representatives
Of the press 10 be present to report The
proceedings. for the benefit Of the public
As a general thing the press should be

tutons. as the public has q right TO have
full accounts Of such meetings. There may
be times when il is necessary TO Withhold
matters from the public, but these are
comparatively infrequent. The new
board Of this State institution has pursued
the right course in taking the public into

We expect this board to continue to
win public confidence. We take no stock

Tx,vrn SKATES SENATOR'S,

We have heretofore stated that the
Committee on Privileges and EiectiohS
NJ the United States senate has maze
a renort in favor OF changing the Fede-
raj Constitution so as to provide mat
senators shall be chosen by direct vote
OF the people, instead of BY the iegis-
latures OF the several States But there
IS stnl long road 10 travel before ths
nronosed change can become the law OF
the land. Senator Hoar is opposed TO
the charge in question. and made year
or two ago powerful speech In cpposi-
ton 20 the proposed CONSTITUTIONAL
amendment The United States con-
stituton. as II stands now, provides that
the Congress. whenever two thirds OF
both houses shall deem II necessary
shall propose amendments to the Con
stltuton. or, on the application OF the
Legislatures of two thirds OK the seVef4i
States. shall call convention for pro-
posing amendments, which. In either
case. shall be valid to all intents and
purposes. as part Of the Constitution
when ratified by the legislatures OF three
fourths OF the several states, or By con-
ventions in three fourths thereof. as the
one or the other mode OF ratification
may be proposed by Congress.
1t will be seen that the shortest way
to amend the Constitution is by pro-
posing amendments 10 be ratified by the
legislatures of three fourths OF the seve-
raj States. That is to say, the amend
ment under consideration must pe rati-
fed by the legislatures Of thirty-four
States before II can be Incorporated into
the Constitution. When Will there be
found thlrty-four State legislatures In
favor Of electing United States senators
by a vote Of the people? The small
States may be expected always to look
with a jealous eye upon any changes
which may be proposed 10 be made IN
the Constitution. seeing that these small
States have each as much strength IN
the United States Senate as each large
State.
We recall these facts, not because We
are oppos-i to electing United States
senators by popular vote. but. rather, to
remind our readers that It may De a
long time before the Constitution can
be changed so as 10 put this power into
the hands Of the people

The Norfolk Landmark, referring to
the Dispatches comments on its injunc-
ton to the Democrats to watch the bub-
bles of the Republican caldron, says:
"Our contemporary correctly appre-
hends the import OF the Landmark s
comment. This apparent lack OF har-
mony in the Republican stronghold, how
ever bitter the mutual determinations OF
the chieftains, should not be allowed 10
deceive any watchful Democrat. We
have seen too much OF Republican quar-
relling TO attach any special importance
to the little trouble now going on in the
organization. So long as there Is no
contest with any other party, the Re
publicans are at odds and denounce each
other glibly as a pastime: but let an
election be the issue, and the seething
torrent is at once transformed into q
purllng stream Of marvellous limpidity."
Exactly Let an election be the issue.
and the cohesive power OF the hope
of securing spells cements all factions Of
the Republican party into one compact
organization. The Democrat who thinks
any consolation is to be drawn by his
party from the present little squabble in
the Republican ranks is unsophisticated
10 the last degree.

Careless Transactions.
From the Springer Stockman.

From the Springer Stockman.
For the past twelve or fifteen years
it has been customary with stock men
in northern New Mexico to accep,
checks in payment for cattle from east
ern buyers, and in a number of cases,
to our certain knowledge, the checks
are worthless, and in one or two in
stances forgeries on the person giving
them. Our stockmen are business men
enough to know that a check is worth
less IN one sense OF the word, and not
good in any until the cash is realized
upon it, and should demand cash for
their stock in every case where it is a
cash sale. These eastern men come
in here with a big check book and buy
as many cattle as they want merely on
checks, the seller not knowing the man
personally, bat is willing to accept his
check. This is poor business, and
would be a discredit to a ten year old
school boy. Caltlemen should be care
full whose paper they are accepting.
One of these stockmen lately went to
Kansas, and we learn has taken a mort
gage on his own cattle for the payment
for what the check called for.

Efforts to Prospect the Carrie

From the New Mexican.

From the New Mexican.
Some months ago the New Mexican
made mention Of the fact that a syndi-
cate, headed by MIR. John H. p. Voor.
bees, of Denver, a nephew of Senator
| Voorhees,, of Indiana, sought of both
the government and the Indians The
privilege to prospect and mine for the
precious metals supposed to exist in the
Carrie mountains, on the Navajo res
ervatioD.
For many years fabulous stories
have been rife Of immense natural
treasures hidden IN these mountains
and many efforts have been made to
prospect for the same. But the Nava-
joes have jealousy guarded these
mountains against white prospectors,
and, supported by the strong arm OF
the government, have so far succeeded
in driving off alleged trespsssers and
preventing even the more venturesome
from gaining more than just enough
information 4 excite additional Gu
pidi,y and curiosity in their minds.
But it seems that Voorhees, and his
associates by the liberal use of brides
and many glittering promises OF larger
ones in the future, succeeded 10 per-
susding a large section OF the
tribe to grant them the
exclusive right to prospect and
mine for gold and silver in the
Carrizo mountains. This arrange
meDt, however, did not meet The ap-
probation OF another section OF the
tribe headed by the noted and intrepid
