given the people an opportunity to
say at tho approaching spring cleo
ton, whether there shall be con
yention Ia make new constitution.
There are c. rtain individual interests
that might be iopardized by such n
convention but to say that an assem-
bly, of representative citizins of Yir
Rinin would not greatly improve an
instrument. constructed largely by
n motley crew of renegades, would
be an insult to the people of the
Commonwealth.
There are four great reason why
the people should vote for conven-
ton.
Constitutional revision is the most
efficient way Of applying rigid econ
omy to the conduct of the public
business.
The reform of the law and the ad
ministration necessary to more
satisfactory dispensation of justice
can be accomplished only by consti
tutional changes.
The political methods can be vast
ly improved by the direct election
CT many officers now chosen by TIE
Legislature. The Legislative
branch of the government should be
purged of its Office brokerage charac.
teristic.
The perplexiug question of the
suffrage can be settled in a sovereign
COVE alton as in no other way.
The friends of this government
should be up and doing. The great
est opportunity of recent years for
the n, vancement of the interests of
Virginia should not be neglected.

Jackson's Day at Washington.

Jackson's Day at Washington.
The jackson Democratic Club, of
Washington, had big banquet at
the Masonic Temple there on Fri
day evening, in honor of Jackson 8
Day. Covers were laid for 900.
Many distinguished people were pres
ent, and several times during the
evening enthusiasm reigned supreme.
Frequently the speakers were inter
upted by the tumultuous applause.
While Senator Blackburn was speak
ing, n reference to Bryan brought
the entire company to their feet.
Cheer after cheer was given and
napkins were vigorously waved aloft.
MIR. a. 5. Colyor Ii "a veteran news
paper man, of Nashville, was the
orator of the evening.
Senator John w. Daniel respond
ed to the toast, The NJ, ney of the
Constitution and snid that lie had
never seen anything livelier than the
old Andrew jackson Democrats, no
stand for the great principle of right
He declared that he had been sur
prised to receive an invitation to
speak about constitutional pioney,
for the only fashionable money talk
OF late was sound money" (Lnugh
ter
The Senator referred to the reduc
ton OF the national debt of S5S000
600 to S3,000.0O0 under jackson,
and to the S262,OO0.OOO of increased
Eond indebtedness under the pres.
ont administration, aud gravely de.
clared that Jackson was not a mod
ern financier.
The Senator said that when he
exn,ninud the Constitution he could
not discover that it mentioned
sound money, paper money, bank
notes, or any other kind of notes, s"
but that it only spoke of "gold and
silver" "If that is the money of the
Constitution" said he, "then what
the Constitution has joined together,
by the Internal! let no man put asun
der!" (Cheers)
Further on, in reefrring to MIR.
Wolcotts mission TO Europe, the
Senator declared in tones that filed
his hearers with delerium of ioy,
that there is now one notable Amer.
lean knocking at the British gate,
asking them for Gods sake, let u,
coin little silver money for the
United States" (Cheers
"If," said he, " the advice of Joe
Blackburn had been taken in the
last campaign it would have been
worth half n million votes to the
Democratic party, for he told them
Mt the convention that as the money
question was the principle one, to
battle for that and no other rrinci-
pie until that was settled"

that SO few in this age followed tho

MAS0Hic.
Masonry ExempIifed.

An incident has just occurred in
Rome, Georgia, which beautifully
illustrates the university of Mason
~. Last fall Brother William Milne
came TO Rome fror: Minnesota, and
procured employment at the Liudnle
Cotton Mills. Here he met with an
accident which disabled him, and in
II short time lie became a victim of
consumption. Being a stranger and
without means, he was taken to the
country almshouse. In short time
the Master of Cherokee Lodge. No.
6G, received letter from Bro. II. S.
Goff, Secretary of the Minnehaha
Lodge, No, 165, of Minneapolis
Mimi, stating that Bro. Milne was
member in good standing at that
Lodge, and asking the Rome breth
ren to administer to his wants, and
that Nlinnehaha Lodge woIld be re
sponsible for all expenses incurred
in caring for the distressed broth
er Bro. Milne was thereupon at
once taken from the almshouse. and
for week sojourned ut n private
hospital, after which he became an
inmate of the home of Bro. j.. p.
Enle. Here received every atten
ton from Brother Ealle and his fam
lily, and was surrounded Ply all the
comforts of n home. AIinnehaha
Lodge donated generous amount
for the sick brothers care, and the
Rome brethren also contributed for
the same purpose. Bro. ID. T. bic
Call gave all necessary medical at
tention, free of charge. On August
IT, Brother Milne died, and was bur
led with Masonic bonors by Chero
kee Lodge on the following day.
Bro, Golf, in one of his letters to
the Master of Cherokee l. ,dge beau
tifully says: Truly, Masonry is
not sectional, but country al d world
wide. 1t has the compass, but no
points of compass. Our hearts are
warm towards you, Brethren in the
South"
The Rome brethren were more
than glad to contribute to the relief
and comfort of the Minnesota broth
er, who had met with accident and
misfortune far from home-a stran
ger in arrange land. And yet he
was not Il strsnger, for the hands of
brothers smoothed his couch of pain
tenderly ministered to his want. and
when the last summons came, closed
the weary eyes, whose light had
gone out forever.
AT the cemetery the scene was sad
yet beautifully impressive. Brother
Milne had no known relatives, and
not mourner stood beside the op
en- grave. And yet around that
strangers bier, with uncovered heads
and reverent mien, stood forty of
Rome's best and truesb citizens, clad
m white gloves and aprons-the in
sigma of a great and noble brother
hood. Sadly the last words were
