Is Life Worth Living?

II there is an individual on earth who is
excusabie for thus interrogating himself,
it Is the unhappy mortal who suffers from
malaria in some one Of its diabolical forms.
This is no difficult conumdrum, however.
Life lis worth living by any man or woman
who enjoys good health, and Is not har-
raised by a reproachful conscience. The
mslarial scourge, heavily laid on, is ter
rible one for the sufferer to endure. a
series Of freezings, screenings and sweats
tho last leaving one as limp and as
strengtbless as dishJag, are hard indeed,
recurring as they do With fiendish regular
ity. Hostetter's Stopach Bitters is the
worldwide known preventive and cura-
tive of this class OF maladies, either in the
form Of Ggue and fever, bilious remittent,
dumb agpe and ague cake. Used with
persistence they will, rely upon it, eradi-
cate diseare from the system. They also
eradicate disease from the system. They
also conquer rheumatism. kidney and blad-
der complaints, nervousness, dyspepsia.
liver complaint and constipation, and re-

THE GRANr-pAY PARADE.

New York paper reports that some
OF the friends of General John B. Gordon
seem TO be ''piqued" because he has not
boon invited TO take part In the Grant
monument dedication exercises. and II
Is further said an invitation will. in due
time. be sent to him and other leading
| Confedcrates.
This exhibits n total misrepresentation
OF the question. II our information be
correct. The extension of an invitation
to General Gordon and others viii not
do away with the fact that up to this
time the New York committee has not
approached the commander OF the united
Confederate Veterans with view 10
having I'm the parade a thoroughly repre-
sentative body OF ex-Confederates and
sons Of ex-Confederates.
We have no INSIDE" information upon
the subiect-all that We know comes from
the ncwspapcrs-but II General Gordon
has ever been asked TO take charge OF
the arrangements for mastering our vete-
rams on the occasion in question, we have
not heard of IL.
The wisdom OF such a step should have
suggested itself to the New York Com
mittee OF Arrangements, because OF the
painful disarrangement of the projected
parade in New York last summer
Yes: after the United Confederate Nete-
rams had changed the date of the reunion
1T Richmond TO suit the date OF the Blue
and Gray parade in New York, the latter
was abandoned because OF certain OBJ
jcctions made by Grand Army men. How
do we know that objections of some other
sort will not be raised this year by Grand
Army men?
1t is not our purpose TO discourage such
Confederate organizations as see
their way clear to attend the exer-
cises in question, but we are convinced
that an uncertainty prevails which Will
make II improbable that the attendance
will be as large as it would have been
otherwise.
1t would have been a handsome thing
for the committee TO have asked General
Gordon to form a Confederate division
and take charge of It. AS it is, the parade |
of Confederates cannot be as imposing |
or as authoritative, as it would have been |
under Gordon's lead

CONGRESSMAN JONES.

From an interview with our Washing
ton correspondent. published In another
column OF this issue. our readers Will see
that the Hon. w. A. Jones has thrown
the weight Of his influence against calling
a constitutional convention.
Mr. Jones is opposed TO an educational
qualification as prerequisite for the
exercise OF suffrage. lie argues that 1t
would not exclude from the electorate
the young negroes. while II would shut
out the old negroes-though the latter
are far better citizens than the former.
As 20 the other objects for which "A con-
vention seems TO be desired by many
Mr.. Jones thinks they might be effected
lust as well by the Legislatures sub
hitting constitutional amendments to the
people.
For these reasons, and because our
party is divided upon the subject of call
ing convention. Mr.. Jones gives AS his
opinion that 1t would be mistake for
our people 10 vote afirmatively at the
election TO be held on May 9TH
The Dispatch knows that Mr.. Jones
has given calm and patient consideration
10 this subject. We believe his judgment
10 be the result of careful study of the
ouestion. and. i'm view of his great abili-
tv. and his high standing in the party
we doubt not that it will carry much
weight with the Democratic voters OF the
State

4 state Constitutional Convention.

Neesburg Washingtonian)
Under a resolution adopted by the last
Legislature, the people of this State have
the right to vote for or against a State
convention, TO adopt new constitution
for Virginia. at the election on the fourth
Thursday in May next
The question for US TO consider and
think over. and then vote upon, is: DO we
want a convention at this time?
We do not think this is the time to call
a constitutional convention. and we are
opposed to it and shall vote against it.
We think matters far more serious than
a State convention are now claiming the
attention of the people. They are now
in a struggle 10 keep their heads above
water. under the financial pressure rest
ing upon every community and all the
people Of the Commonwealth. except the
moneyed men of our cities. We believe
we had better wait until these clouds
have passed by before we enter into so
serious a matter as the remodelling Of our
State organic law The people. when
called unon TO vote on a State consttu-
tOnal convention, should be free 10 give
the question their undivided attention.
which they cannot do now with the wolf
at the doors of. "A majority OF our people.
II there are articles in the present Con-
sttution which call so urgently for
amendment as to demand, as some
think, n State constitutional convention.
why not amend them as the present State
Constitution and law provide-by the
Legislature proposing the desired amend
ments and submitting them 10 the people?
We have the constitutional power TO do
so just as effectively as a convention
could do and we all know that i'm
portant amendments have been made in
that way. This could be done to meet
all our wants under the organic law; and
save the people at this time of their de-
preston from the trouble and heavy eX-
pense Of a convention. when few years
from now. when these times are over.
they will be better prepared. financially,

of mind TO consider so serious and eXpen-

condition have developed many notions
and opinions. which are not suitable 70

constitutional convention demands.
We had better we think. bear the ills
we have" in our organic laws before we
Fly to those we know not Of in the
formation OF a constitution under the
crude notions. isms and fractional preju-
dices, now too prevalent for that serious
work. We believe when the times have
improved and the people are better pre-
pared to think over the question, we
could call convention. and change the
Constitution a the representative wisdom
Of the State would think best.
\ few years from now we will, very
probably. be ready 10 call a convention

A syndicate of English capitalists has
purchases from the inventor or rs-
coverer the Chassagne Photographic pro-
cess of producing pictures that duplicate
the colors as well as the forms of ma
ture by purely chemical operation. The
purchase includes the patent rights which
the inventor has obtained or applied for
I'm all the countries that grant such
rights. and ii is stated that the syndicate
proposes TO keep the process a strict mo-
nopoly. No one Will be sold the formu-
lac for preparing the four liquids by
the use of which the colored photographs
are obtained, but in each country there
where the liquids may be bought and in
struction in their employment will be
given. Already the English company has

photographers are still sceptical touch
ing the discovery, but the American
Consul at Frankfort, who. il is said.

that however mysterious the process is,
the accuracy and beauty of its results
cannot be questioned, while the practical
application of it is so easy, and should be
so inexpensive, as to open a new era in
