The World believes in Justice t,

the abandonment Of the rights aud

We still believe that the Demo

straddling the question at the State
convention in Stanton last summer

A Constitutional Convention,

The most important event OF this
year. to Virginia, will be the vote on
the vote on the question of holding
a constitutional convention at the
spring election. There has been but
little said about this matter for some
time, but this is no reason for the
assumption that there is no longer
popular interest in the matter Of
constitutional reform. The ablest
lawyers in the State agree that tho
needed reforms in the law and court
procedure can be effected only by
constitutional revision.
The business interest suffe greatly
by slow and inefficient administration
of Justice, and the people are burden
ed with hundreds OF officers whose
services might be dispensed with
The agitation of this matter has al.
ready resulted in much saving to the
State, as it undoubtedly prompted
the passage of those measures OF
retrenchmeut and reform that were
adopted by the Legislature at it's
last session, and which are proving
SO satisfactory. But there is still
room for economy, and all agree that
the constitutional revision is the
most effective method for its appli
cation.
Then there is the question of the
- Jaws which has assumed in
Importance, and which has
creasing importance, and

CONFIDENCE.

Mzeh has been written aud
said about the restoration of con
tidence since the election of Nc
kinley, but the failures i'm business
for the year 1896 were geeater
than ever in the history of the
country with the possible excep-
ton of 1898. But the Strangest
part in the whole matter is the
fact that the failures since conf
dence was restored (D by the cleo
ton of Mckinley have been more
numerous than in any other
months in the year. Among the
failures of the past two months
are found many banks whose of
hcers were lOudest in their dccla
ration that all that was needed to
restore prosperity was the election
of Mckinley whereby confidence
would be restored in business cir
eles and times get better imme-
diately. Now we do not believe
the election of Mckinley has
caused the many great crashes i'm
business in the past two months.
but we do believe that if the pres
ent suicidal financial policy of the
Cleveland Administration is adj
hered to much longer, it will re-
quire more confidence than we
have at present TO convince us or
any else that "confidencer can
take the place of dollars i'm the
estimation of the man whose wife
and children are crying for bread,
while he is unable to supply their
needs. There is no use trying to
disguise the fact that what this
country needs is more money, and
there is no use for Republican aud
mugwump papers to keep up the
cry of returning prosperity in the
face of the failures i'm business
that we see on every side of us
each day. All the taxation the
Republican party can heap on the
