Grand Army OF the Republic. In refusing
to give his assent to the proposed parade
Of those who wore the blue and gray at
New York In July. Those who have
charge Of the project doubtless will find
that General Walker is sustained By the
rank and file Of Union veterans In the
decision that he has reached. The pro-
moters OF the parade cannot expect the
men who went to battle to preserve the
Union to march side by side with those
who shot to destroy II, the latter being
clothed In the gray Uniform Of the Con-
Tolerate army. One might as well expect
the northern veterans to march under
the Confederate flag OF rebellion-thc
Stars and Bars. This appears to be the
objection made by the Grand Army OF
the Republic men to parading with the
veterans Of the southern army"
Truly. sectional hatred dies hard In the
North. Here was an event planned for
the purpose Of showing that all feeling
between the survivors of the two great
contending armies had been oblitereted,
and Ii cannot be carried out for the very
reason that II does exist, at least in some
quarters. 1t is more than probable that
the writer OF the above comment never
smelled powder or faced Confederate
musket on the battlefield. and yet 1t is
such as he who keep the flame OF
prejudice constantly famed We do not
believe than the rank and file OF the
Union veterans. those who did the real
fighting, would raise any such objection.

We endorse the Dispatch's suggestion
that the sentiment in favor of a consti-
tutional convention be approved by the
Democratic convention, which will meet
at Stanton. The movement TO remodel
the old Underwood instrument IL dis
tinctly a Democratic one, and the people
of Virginia will be found supporting the
party. The opposition is disguised, be-
cause il is trembling with fear lest a
restriction OF the franchise will be
adopted, whereby the great power ofethe
negro vote will oe broken. Those who
have been 80 untiring In their agitation
Of the question should now redouble,
rather than relax their efforts, In order
that the people shall not be led astray
by the representations OF the political
opponents OF the Democratic party.-The
Norfolk Landmark.
The convention scheme will be safe
enough after II has been denounced by
the State Republican Convention, and
approved by the State Democratic Con-
vention.
No Democrat ought to be willing to
deny to the people the right to decide
this question at the polls. but We are
aware that there are influential gentle
men who hold an opinion different from
this. Hence the friends OF a popular
vote should be present and watchful at
Staunton.
The Dispatch says about theN consti-
tutional convention what II said about
the charter amendments: Take popu-
lar vote on the question. Let the people
decide. Who's afraid to trust the peo-
pie?

Governor McI.aurin. OF Mississippi,

the money of which Congress has autho-
rized the coinage is needed by the
people In their business transactions. and
he asks the Legislature of Mississippi
TO legislate upon the subject He quotes
from the Federal Constitution. section
10. Article I, as follows:
mo State shall make anything but
gold and silver coin legal tender In
payment of debts"
That language is plain enough. 1t
authorizes State Legislatures. or recog-
nizes their right, to make not silver, nor
gold, a legal tender for the payment Of
all debts. but TO make both silver and
gold a legal tender for ali debts. This
is not a new point. however. 1t Is worthy
OF note. because the suggestion OF Gov
ernor McLaurin has not been carried out
by any of the State Legislatures.
Governor McLaurin also quotes Article
J, section s, OF the United States Con-
sttution. az follows:
1.-THE Congress shall have power
to coin money. regulate the value thereon,
and of foreign CON-
This confines the coming Of money to

and that this shall apply TO all debts
hereafter contracted, where the process

1t is not at all likely that any State
Legislature will undertake to give the
force of Law to Governor McLaurin's
recommendations. The sound-money adj
vocates will be as jealous in their efforts
TO carry out their views on the currency
question generally as they are to carry
them out on the silver question. There
Is, however. nobody in the world who
can tell how much currency Is needed
in any given country. A million of dol
lars turned over or used once a day be-
comes two millions when used twice a

Nothing could be more fitting than
that this place, where the last years

no locality in the State more appro-

A Tale of Two Cities.
charlotte Observer.)

New York for some time past has been
making big blow over her broadness
and magnanimity and brotherly-love and
spirit OF fraternity. and all that. because
of the big joint parade OF Federal ana
Confederate veterans which was 70 De
held there on the coming Fourth OF July.
The ex-rebels were to wear gray ana the
ex-Yanks blue. But all of a sudden the
commander of the Grand Army OF the
Republic discovered that body to be ex-
ceedIngly hostile to marching side by
side with men wearing gray uniform, a
reminder of cause which, as their COM
mander now says, the Grand Army OF
the Republic shot to death" thirty years
ago. SO, after all New York's brag and
buster. the parade has been declared Off.
This reminds US that Chicago Is fast be-
coming, II she Is not already, the repre-
sentative city of America. Chicago is the
northern city which has erected a monu-
ment in one OF her beautiful parks to
Confederate soldiers who died in prison
there during the war. Chicago. could
never have "izzled' as New York has in
this parade business. She would have
thought twice before undertaking such
an enterprise, and II the second thought
was favorable thereto. nothing could have
stopped her i'm making II a success. Chi
cago took the Worlds Fair away from
New York: just the other day she took
the National Democratic Convention
away from New York; she Is to have the
exposition OF southern cotton products,
which, II Is believed, will mark the turn
ing OF a great part Of southern trade

ing his powdered queue, his knee

The road-building OF progress is turning
Chicago-ward. She is making herself the
centre Of metropolitan Americanism.

souri,. now that he is seeking to elect

to go to the convention with a clear re-

ABOUT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

A friend, who seems to be an ardent
silverite, writes us letter. which we
would willingly publish If we thought that
its publication would do any good TO the
Democratic party. But we cannot see
that such would be the result OF It's
publication. The State Of Virginia must
be carried at the next election. II at all,
by a union OF all good Democrats. sound
money men or siverites. We stated yes
terday that II would be impossible for
the Democrats to carry Virginia II We
ruled out either the slverites or the
hard-money men, unless indeed. by ex-
traordinary good fortune, the Democrats
could agree upon a platform calling for
the free coinage of silver by international
agreement. For whatever platform We
may have to stand on in the approaching
presidential election we shall be in
debted to the Democratic National Con-
yention. 1t would, therefore, seem un-
necessary, not to say unwise. for the
Democrats OF Virginia to begin fight
among themselves ON the silver question.
Our environment Is changing day after
day. and we might say almost every day.
and we cannot undertake to forecast the
future of the Democratic party; but we
think we know that the success OF that
party will not be the result Of feuds
amongst themselves.

LEE AND Our VETERANS.

To the Editor or the Dlspatcn:
Every Virginian who respects himself
and reads the nobly-expressed resolutions
of the ladies of the Hollywood Memorial
the Sd instant will feel as he reads as
if he had been stabbed in the house OF
his friends at the announcement that
ever through all the ages to come-from
1861 forward-any body of men should be
found, who. claiming to be Virginians, or
even OF Anglo-Saxon lineage and heritage.
could first . ignore and dishonor the
memory of Robert f. Lee. and next un-
house and scatter the helpless and in
firm veterans who followed him.
Brook Hill. Va. SHERWOOD.
We give the foregoing as a sample ex-
tract from numerous letters which we are
in daily receipt of. AS to the non-ob-
servance of Lees birthday by the Legisla-
ture, the Legislature enacted that the
banks and others should observe the day
as a public holiday, and then itself re-
fused to observe the day. This was a
great mistaken bad blunder. This ac-
ton of the Legislature is disapproved by
the people. Each constituency must ask
its own members for an explanation.
AS to the refusal to provide for the
twenty-five veterans at the Soldiers
Home this was an error that the Legis2-
ture soon corrected.
That these two incidents have marred
the record of this legislative session we
cannot but admit, and yet we feel sure
that 80 per cent. of the members
hold in loving remembrance the virtues
and heroism of Lee, and would do almost
anything In their power to help our old
soldiers. Paradoxical as this may seem,
we think 1t is true. We suppose the
majority were the victims of thoughtless-
moss. or of inexperence, or Of bad leader
ship.
