noy,T RUSH INTO DANGER

The constitutional convention question
is not receiving the attention it deserves
vet a more important matter has rarely
been submitted to the decision Of the
voters of Virginia.
The vote will be taken on the fourth
Thursday in May next, and If majority
of those who vote upon this question say
!. convention shall be called, nothing Will
remain for the Legislature to do but TO APP
portion representation among the several
counties and cities OF the State and fix
the date for electing the members.
once assembled. the convention will have
sovereign power. 1t may reorganize our
judiciary. II may adopt new scheme Of
taxation. II may change the prerequisites
fos the exercise OF suffrage. The conven-
zion. in fine, will have almost Doundiess
mower with respect TO matters referring
10 our State, county and city govern
ments.
Are we ready 10 proceed with business
Of so much Importance? DO we know
what we want? Are we satisfied in our
own minds as 10 what reforms should be
lnaugurated? The Dispatch thinks not.
And hence our Judgment is against call
Ing convention at this time. We think
our people would better discuss the mat
ter thoroughly and first come TO "A conclu-
sion among themselves as 10 what amend
pnents to the Constitution arc needed.
En one can now say that the popuiiu

IT STANDS THE TEST.
Among the Mass OF Unworthy frc
pnrations There Is One that s'"""'
Prc-cmiDcnf.

II IS a well-known fact that Ia,
percentage Of whiskcys upon the mar
and I'm use to-day are simply cheap "uu
teratons. They may be called "stralsu.
goods" blends" or any other name 'ii'1
an INSCRIPTIONS manufacturer or dealer
chooses. but the fact remains that they
are simply concoctons and authorizations
which are injurious to any one WHO uses
them.
I'm the midst Of this mass OF I'M
healthful whiskeys there stands one
bright exception. 1t has stood out clearly
before the public for twenty years. us
purity is guaranteed by the best physi-
clans in the land, and it has done more
to preserve health than all the other
whiskeys combined. IL IS Duny's pure
malt whiskey. 1t has a reputation estaD-
lished by twenty years of use, and 1t has
that reputation 10 sustain IL Is always
uniform I'm quality, every bottle is pre-
csely alike. Its very purity renders II
valuable but it possesses in addition
thereto medicinal qualities known to no
other vhiskey. You make no mistake
i'm buying Dunys pure malt, but you
make an egregious error If you allow
any INSCRIPTIONS dealer for a moment TO
argue with you that any one of the cheap,
adulterated whiskeys that are on the
market is as good as Duffys IL is false.

mind Is bent upon any particular policy
SO far from Il. In the discussions that we
have heard there have been the most wide
~ varying opinions.
There are many who would like to see a
restriction put tfhon suffrage; there are
many others hostile to the proposition
There are hundreds who wish TO see our
judiciary system recognized and the
judges elected by the people, but there
are hundreds antagonistic TO that idea
And so 1t goes.
OF course. we do not expect the time VIII
ever come when the people of the state
Will be anything like a unit on these
questions; but we DO think that We Demo
Gratis ought TO have something Ike
"a fixed policy before we undertake the
grave responsibility of holding a conyen-
ton to revise and amend our Constitu-
ton.
That our present Constitution needs
ovcrhauliug. we concede. but If 1t Is to
Doe done 10y a convention rather than by
the Legislature. we say let's be careful
about the time of calling the convention;
careful in adopting policies that shall
guide us in clocung members. and care
full in the selection Of our candidates.
We think the present is not the time for
this work Others take the contrary
view. With them we have no quarrel,
but we do ask them to give the matter
further consideration. Let them think
this matter over calmly. The last State
Democratic Convention took especial care
not TO commit our party 10 the ordering
of constitutional convention. and there
fore il IS the privilege Of each Democrat
TO vote aye" or no" as he pleases,
on the proposition.
II the aye carry the day we shall be
committed to the holding of a convention
before we have determined in our own
minds what the convention should do.
Would that be wise? Would that tend
10 unity our party in this State2 Would
that be promotive Of the best interests
Of Virginia? We think not.

If the opinion expressed by the Court

Though how it can. in the face of its
manifest injustice and the general adj
verse opinion OF the bar, l can scarcely

fault is by no means entirely that Of the
jury. In case where the prisoner must
be either convicted of murder OF the first
degree, or else acquitted, the jury should
not be instructed simply 10 what CON
stitutes the different grades OF homicide.
but should be definitely and distinctly
informed that. under the proofs they
must either convict of murder of the first
degree or acquit. and that any COM
promise verdict is unlawful and practical

enlighten them as TO the nature Of their
duties, while the ordinary instruction
may, very naturally. mislead them.
Certainly, the prisoner should have this
privilege. il he desires to avail himself
OF it. The right 10 hang or go scot-free
may be a very dangerous privilege to ask.

willingness of the jury to shed blood.

While Congress was debating the Mica

canal was progressing steadily. In tact
saving a brief interval, work has been
progressing on the latter great waterway
ever since 1894. The canal has been eN-
tended sixteen miles westward from Colon
and four miles eastward from Panama,
aud il Is estimated that the connection
from ocean to ocean will be completed
within the next six years.
The new company was organized in Oc-
tober. 1891, and the concession was cN-
tended by Colombia for ten years. Ger

The last Legislature. in an attempt TO
decrease the enormous criminal expenses
which exceeded $500 for the year 1875.
passed an act giving to Justices OF the
peace original jurisdiction in all misde-
meanor cases. and has greatly increased
the responsibility and work Of our justices.
These officers are made very important
by that act; and good. true men-men Of
backbone and conservatism-should be
elected TO serve US as magistrates, TO
the end that justice and the law of our
land will be upneld.-Exchange
We DO not think the law ought TO be
repealed; but it might be advantageously
amended. The letter recently published
in the Dispatch from Judge Homes. Of
Mecklcnburg, contained excellent sug-
gestions as to amendments.
The main trouble about the law Is 10
be found in the ineficiency of illiterate
or careless justices We say, let the law
stand, but let the next Legislature
amend IT, as Judge Homes proposes.
