RECENT EVENTS in this State have
changed the previously existing condi-
ton of affairs and made revision OF
its constitution imperatively req
uisite and necessary. The qualihca-
tons for suffrage should be altered and
so should the election provisions, judges
should be elected and not appointed
negro schools should be supported by
taxes collected from negroes, the whip
ping post should be revived, restrictions
on personal liberty be removed, and
other evils be remedied or entirely
abolished. Of course the republicans
and their allies, the boilers, will op'
pose the calling a constitutional con-
vention, but the democratic managers
in all the cities and counties should start
about the business at once.

ABRUPTLY ENDED.-A dispatch from

ABRUPTLY ENDEp.-A dispatch from
Morgantown, W. Va, says efforts to
learn Of the whereabouts of Rev. J. n
Smith, prominent minister of the
West Virginia Methodist Protestant
Conference, has proven futile. His
disappearance from the town of Glen
vile and the circumstances surround
ing it have caused sensation. Rev.
Smith was appointed to the Chenille
charge several weeks ago by the Meth
odist Protestant conference. A few
evenings ago he was holding services
in a crowded church and was about to
begin his sermon when stranger, who
said he came from Vadis, walked in
and had hurried consultation with
the deacons. The result of this talk
was that enc or the deacons called the
preacher aside and held few moments
conversation with him. The preacher
turned and left the church, and the
deacon announced the services would
proceed without him. The man from
Vadis also left the church, but was seen
after the service and explained that the
preacher had eloped with his wife, and
he intended to keep him from appear.
ing as minister of the Gospel. The
woman now posing as the preachers
wife was the strangers wife, and
be produced letters which he said
the woman left behind when she left
with Smith.

THE CHIEF of police of Washington,
in his annual report, speaks in terms OF
the highest praise of the orderly and
law-abiding character of the people OF
that city, which, he says, is proved by
the small ratio of arrests to popula-
ton there. Readers of Washington
newspapers, on the contrary, are in
clined to believe that vice and crime
are as rife there, if not more so, as I'D
any other city in the country, and there
is no possible doubt of the fact that
most all the disorders and violations OF
law in Alexandria county are commit
ted by people who live, or are So

THE VENEZUELAN QUESTION.
Lord Salisbury, prime minister OF
England, made the important an
nouncement at the lord mayors ban
quet in London last night that the con-
troversy between the United States and
British governments over the boundary
line between Venezuela and British
Guiana, in South America, is at an end.
Lord Salisbury said: "In the discus
sions we have had with the United
States on behalf of their friends in
Venezuela the question has not been
whether there should be arbitration,
but whether the arbitration should
have unrestricted application. We
have always claimed respecting those
who, apart from historic right, had the
right which attaches to settled estab-
lishment that the settled districts should
be excluded from arbitration. Our diff
iculty fer many months has been to
find how to define the settled districts,
from the country Mr.. Bayard represents
in the suggestion that we should treat
the colonial empire just as we treat in
dividuals; that the same lapse of time
which protects individuals in civic life
from having their title questioned
should also protect the English colony
from having its title questioned, and
where that lapse of time could not be
claimed, though there should be an ex-
animation ofthe title, yet all that equity
demanded in consideration of such title
should be granted. 1t is very simple
solution and / believe it is not using IN
duly sanguine words when 1 say that I
believe it has brought the controversy
to an end"

yINDICATED HIMSELF.
wargo Would Not Let His wife's Chal-
lenge Pass Unheeded

Two Boston Run families figured in a law
suit before Justice Toomey last evening and
a rather unique tale was unfoldcd before the
court. From the evidence it appears that on
Saturday last Mrs. Mary Harris and Mrs
Michael Wargo, neighbors had a quarrel
1t ended in words, but when Mike Wargo
arrived home from work in the evening his
wife said he was no husband, or he would
not allow the neighbors to abuse her. Mike
could not allow such a challenge to his
chivalry to pass and forthwith he went to
the Harris domicile and beat Mrs. Harris
with a tagging, supplementing the beating
with two or three fist blows. Fortunately
the punishment was not as severe as may be
imagined. Mr.. Harris was feeding the
chickens at the time and his attention was
attracted by his wifes screams. He hurried
to the rescue but Wargo also punished him
Justice Toomey committed Wargo in default
of bail, but the case was subsequently
settled

A HARD FIGHT Is ON.
The state Chairmanship The Only Bone of
Contention ut Hnrrishnrr


HARRIsBUBG, April Ex-senator Quay
arrived here last evening aud will remain
until tomorrow night, after the meeting Of
the state committee.
The executive committee of the state
committee met yesterday, Mr. Leach pre-
sided and it is said that the state committee
will be recommended to have these additional
officers Vice chairman, permanent secretary
and permanent treasurer
The state committee meets tomorrow
when reports will be received from the
executive committee, and the subcommittee
on Reform Legislation. Slas w Petit, of
! Philadelphia, who is a member of the latter
committee, arrived here and has with him a
/ copy of the reform measures which the next
Legislature will be called upon 30 pass upon.
! Tomorrow evening the delegates will
caucus. The most important thing that will
be done will be the endorsement of Senator
Quay's presidential candidacy. 1t is doubt
ful if a single voice will be raised in oppos-
tibn to him. Even the delegates Mayor
Warwick controls will likely fall into line for
the silent fisherman. Harrisburg has gone
wild for Quay, and not Mckinley button is
to be seen.
hard fight is on for state chairman be-
tween Frank Willing Leach and Deputy
Attorney General Elkin. The former appears
to lead, although the latter is making a
strong fight. The caucus of delegates favor
able to Senator Quay tomorrow night, it is
said, will decide to allow the convention to
name the chairman. The caucus may also
decide whom it will support in the conven-
ton. Elkin has organized a large committee,
mostly state officials, to make his fight.
Among the list is Senator John J. Coyle. of
Schuylkill, who is against Leach. The latter
looks like a winner, however.
The only certain thing about the conven-
tion is that it will strongly endorse Senator
Quay, and that Governor Hastings will be
one of the delegates-at-large and present
Quay's name to the st. Louis convention.
Who the other delegates will be has not been
decided.
