be easy from the vigorous style to spot
the author without the suggestion as to

The publication IS a pamphlet Of thirty
two pages the greater part Of which Is
devoted to Professor Goodwin Smith and
his History Of the United States, -
and to say that that critic and maligner
OF the South and his screed Of vilifca-

that will teach that all Confederates

of the right Of secession out OF the

The Convention Question.

To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The matter Of amending the State
Constitution is surrounded by difficult
questions, which have perplexed the best
minds. The predominence Of the ne
groes in some counties, and OF the whites
i'm othersi has rendered legislation diiti-
cult and restricted. At present the re-
lations are so adjusted that the whites
are. to some extent, protected by the
County Court judges. elected by the Le-
gislature The negro majorities can con-
troll the county and district Offices, and
thus the condition is made tolerable. and
the peace and safety OF both races have
been preserved. Equality before the
law is the controlling rule. Those in
the white counties who have not care
fully gone over this subject have not
seen the great difficulties TO be en-
countered in making changes which they
may desire.
There are many other considerations
which should be discussed before action
is taken. In the interest OF economy
a revision Is desired now, but IL should
be remembered that convention and a
new constitution will bring with them a
train OF incidents, and period OF un-
certainty and expense. An extra ses-
sion OF the Legislature TO conform the
laws. a revision OF the Code, decisions OF
the courts constituting the amended Con-
stitution, and laws made Hereunder,
will follow. Business modes and trans
actions must conform to the new order.
LITIGATION would increase until the

DErLETrNG TIE GOLD RESERVE.

The depletion OF the gold reserve in
the Treasury TO any great extent always
carries with it more or less financial
disturbance and business dsduiet; and
the spectators are quick TO raise the
cry OF want OF confidence" with the
result that one side or the other makes
turn in the market.
Since the recent gold drain began, near
~ $1ioc0OO0 OF the yellow metal has gone
out Of the country, and all Of this the
banks have forced the Treasury to sup
ply, although the former have considera-
bly, more gold than the latter. The gold
that has been exported was In demand
for legitimate commercial purposes. yet
the banks. which are presumably char
tered TO carry the commerce and the
business OF the country, not only utter
ly fail. as respects this matter. TO fulfil
that function, but contribute to bring
about conditions tending TO increase
business uneasiness. 1t Is true that this
action on the part OF the banks Is rem
dered legitimate by a serious defect in
our currency system, and that aside
from its bearing upon the evil immedi-
ately under discussion that defect calls
FOR a remedy. Currency reform is es-
sential to the restoration OF normal BUSH
ness conditions for more reasons than
that the present system enables the
banks to drain the Treasury at will Of
gold. 1t IS also true that under the
laws governing the national banks-the.
banks almost exclusively in question as
regards gold exports-these have theo-
retically some excuse for their policy.
None the less. it does not follow that
the policy is a wise one. Many Of our
contemporaries think It unwise. not only
on account Of its effects on trade, but
on account Of the loss IT involves 10
the banks themselves. The Boston
Herald Is one Of these contemporaries,
and in stating the case, dwells especially
upon the fact that the banks stand in
their own light by draining gold for eX-
port from the Treasury, instead Of fur
nishing II from their own vaults. After
noting that the national banks have
piehly OF boiu ~ supply ehO NNi''e W
mand, the Herald says that It is conh-
dent that such a course would count TO
their profit, not only in popularity, bat
in dollars and cents. The prosperity OF
the banks. adds our contemporary. de-
ponds upon the prosperity Of business
and anything that tends TO tranqulize
the minds OF businessmen is distinctly
advantageous to our great financial in
situations. No business reasoning could
be sounder than that.

RESTRICTED SUFFRAGE.

The Hon. Camm Patteson, Of Buckine-
ham. Is one of the most ardent Of the
advocates Of a constitutional convention.
lie gives his views on this subject in a
letter TO the State newspaper of yes
ferday, and among other things, he
favors change in our Constitution
which will put restriction upon suf-
frage.
The plan that he suggests is much
the same as that heretofore discussed
by the Dispatch. Indeed. we believe we
were the first 10 suggest that from any
restrictions Virginia might impose we
should exempt all veterans who have
served this state in the army or navy
I'm time of war
But If a constitutional convention were
called at this time, ii is more than
doubtful IL a restricted suffrage would
be adopted. This Is matter upon
which our own people are not agreed
Not long ago we published an interview,
or letter, in which Congressman VIII
liam A. Jones opposed the calling Of
such a convention. and in doing so he
expressed his dlsapproval Of all plans
so far suggested for restricting Suffrage
He argued that an educational restric-
ton would disfranchise the old negroes
and continue the right of suffrage 10
the young negroes-the latter having had
the advantage of public school educa-
tion, while the former have not. For
his part, he said, If there was to be
any DISTINGUISHING. he would prefer that
the effect stated should be reversed.
We are not quite sure that Mr.. Jones's
position is altogether correct, because
there are many young negro illiterates
as well as old negro illiterates; but he
Is man of great influence and earnest
ness OF purpose. and we doubt not speaks
for hundreds of white voters. At any
rate, when we find a Democrat Of his
distinction and ability on the other side
OF this question. we have TO consider
whether IL would be possible to get
through such an amendment as has
been proposed. We think not-not now
If constitutional convention were held
now, and Mr.. Patteson should be a men,
DtI VI IT, We NOubf NV NhctN nc NONlQ
present his cause enthusiastically ana
well. but we fear he woud find many to
oppose his proposition. But later on,
possibly. the States duty may appear
clearer than It does now 10 the majority
OF our fellow citizens.
But while there is no hope OF looping
off the objectionables from our electorate,
We see little use of having a convention.
So far as cutting down State or county
expenses is concerned. the Legislature.
II elected for that purpose, may be safely
entrusted with the work. II Leglsla-
ture could readjust, ii may retrsnch also.
Where It finds its way blocked by con-
stitutional provision. 1t may submit an
amendment 10 the people in the manner
provided for by the existing Constitu-
ton.
There was time when the Dispatch
heartily hoped that a constitutional con-
vention. would be called. but our chief am
billion then was TO have the suffrage
question disposed OF. we see no prospect
OF that now; hence we must advise the
people 10 vote mo- on the proposition
10 be submitted Thursday.

II has lust transpired that during the
Cleveland administration Consul-General
Lee suggested the propriety Of this coun-
try's attempting TO secure Cuban inde-
nendence by means Of a monetary in
demnity to Spain. 1t IS said that in that
report General Lee pointed out that the
great difficulty in the way Of Spain, and
one Of the reasons for her stubborn re-
sistance to the revolution, is the enor-
nous debt contracted in Cuba since the
war OF 1858. and for which Spain, in case
Cuba becomes independent, is herself re-
sponsible. The indemnity would solve,
in great part, this perplexing problem.
The debt, which amounts now TO over
500 CO0.OC0. would not be such heavy
burden upon Spain if S2O0,o0O0cO were paid
to the mother country BY Cuba. 1t
should be remembered that the actual
price Of Spanish-Cuban bonds Is very
much below par, and that the Spanish
Government, possessing S2oo0o0,o00, might
easily make an arrangement with the
shareholders. Besides, the indemnity
would relieve Spain or a much larS =
monetary sacrifice which the continu-
ance of the war imposes upon her.
General Lee also gives figures to show
the total inability Of the island 10 be a
further source Of revenue for Spain, and
the fact that Spain must depend upon
her own impoverished treasury for the
means m continue the war
OF course. the United States would
have 10 guarantee the indemnity. but
it is argued in some Of the papers that
we could collect and administer the GUS
toms and so safeguard ourselves. The
Spanish Minister at Washington is re-
ported 10 be very hostile TO this project,
which Is now being urged by some
prominent New York businessmen.
