Somewhat Contradictory.
Richmond Times, ]

Richmond Times,
There was a sigh of relief when the Vir-
GINA Legislature adjourned and the news
papers of the State have since been fell
citating the people that the Commonwealth
escaped with so little injury, One es-
teemed contemporary goes so far as to say
that "the Malone Legislature did not
create any greater apprehension than the
one just ended, and that in no company
was there time when its action was not
the topic of conversation, and anxious in
quiry, and time will class this one with
the Populistic body which recently rent
North Carolina from center to circumfer-
ence."
Yet these esteemed contemporaries were
willing to call constitutional convention
to be elected under the same law that
elected the members of the General As
sembly and to be composed largely of the
same men or the same class of men; which
convention would have power not to enact
statutory laws but to rewrite the organic
law of the State. And they were greatly
surprised that The Times should feel any
apprehension on this score.

New 1ork PresS.
How near the hour may be we may not
know. But the man is here. He was
nominated to restore national prosperity.
He was elected to maintain national honor.
He was chosen, in brief, to guide the state
along the arduous but familiar paths of
peace. Today the nation turns with entire
confidence to him to lead, if need be, upon
the trackless waste Of war.

CAPABLE AND SAFE.

There is no disputing the fact that the
Republican party has shown both ca
pacity and willing disposition to give the
country all the legislation it needs. 1t
promptly changed the tariff laws, at an
extra session of Congress, by legislation
that is proving its worth as a revenue pro-
Queer and is rapidly getting rid of the
troublesome deficit that resulted from
Democratic legislation. In past years it
has demonstrated its ability to give the
nation safe currency legislation, and We
need have no fears that it will not enact
any necessary currency reform laws if it
has the power in Congress to do so. 1t is
not lingo party and has acted with
calmness and courage during the threat
ened trouble with Spain. Ifwar, however,
should come there is no doubt Of the ca
pacity of the party to meet successfully
every contingency. The record Of the Re-
publican party is such that it will hold the
confidence of the people and protect all
the interests of our country. tits capable,
it is safe.

The American people are being welded
into unity.
The Administration is assured of the
support Of all parties in Congress. Pa
triotism is at high water mark. A small
measure of it is rated disgrace. Opposi-
ton toits promptings is becoming peri!ous.
Even the yellow journals are now claiming
to have been the original Jacobs of true
Americanism, after months of vihfcation
of the Administration which is receiving
the support and commanding the respect
of all sane and decent citizens. The en-
deavor of the yellows to conceal their own
offenses within the folds of the flag is
rightly understood.
Most instructively, the people are ex-
pecting that peace will be preserved by
the preparations made for war. They
regard the $4,000, 600 as an investment
from which peace will be the interest
drawn. They are a unit for readiness.
They will be 4 unit for war if it should
come. They are, however, firm in the
belief that the result of readiness for war
will be peace and that of unreadiness for
war would surely be war. In this are the
sobriety, calculation and frmness that are
suspicious and impressive. The American
people were never more admirable and
respectworthy than they are to-day.

FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE.

The action of the two Houses of Con-
gress in passing, without delay, bill APP
propriating and placing at the disposal OF
President Mckinley $5O,000,OOO for the
National defense shows that the represen-
tatives of the American people can lay
aside party when it is necesssSy and stand
together as patriots.
This is the largest sum in our history as
as nation that has ever been placed at
the unchallenged disposal of the Chief
Executive. 1t is a mark of great conf
dence that's held by Congress in the patriot
ism and discretion of the President, and
may prove to be the perfection Of peace
measure. Its moral effects may be far
reaching in the negotiations that are now
going on between Spain and the United
States. 1t is hardly probable that bank
rupt nation like Spain will have the
temerity to insist upon going to war with
a country so rich in resources that it can,
by one single bill, place at the diposal ofthe
President for war purposes sum equal in
amount to one third the annual expendi-
lures of the Spanish government.

can vote regardless of the educational and
property qualifications.
1t does not need any legal skill to see
through the inggery attempted in this
clause. The educational requirement Is
as strict as that in force in any State in the
Union and if left alone by itself it would
insure Louisiana an intelligent suffrage.
But the property qualification and the
qualification of having been voter in
1868 or the male descendant of such a
voter completely nullfy the educational
requirement. The evident purpose is to
invent some subterfuge by means Of which
every white man can vote while excluding
all or as many as possible of the colored
men. There are probably no white native
voters in Louisiana to-day who did not vote
somewhere in 1865 or who are not male
descendants of such voters. And even if
there is, the property qualification with its
tumble Of wife, children. father Or mother
as the owner of $500 worth of assessed
property can be depended upon to supply
aloophole through which the voter can
creep.
This, however, does not cover all the
means by which it is proposed to dilute
the suffrage in Louisiana. The suffrage
clause also SAYS that ''no male person of
foreign birth who shall have been natural
lied prior to the adoption of this Constitu-
ton shall ever be denied the right to regis
ter and vote in this State by reason of his
failure to possess the educational or proper
ty qualifications prescribed by this Constl-
tuition" AS this would continue to admit
to the ballot-box the illiterate Italian vot-
ers, of whom there are large number in
Louisiana and who have long been pest, at
New Orleans especially, it is not surprising
to hear the Newspapers Of the city con-
demning the clause severely. The present
Constitution of Louisiana admits to the
suffrage any alien who has declared his in
tentions and been one year in the State and
all who have voted under this requirement
could claim the suffrage under the pro-
posed clause in the new Constitution.
The louisiana convention will make a
grave mistake if it consents to any such
tampering with the suffrage. The palmer
and simpler the requirements the better,
1t is now admitted that what is known az
the understanding" clause in the Missis-
sippi Constitution was a mistake and that
simple educational requirement would
have been better. South Cardinals Con-
stitution is an improvement on the Mlssis-
sippi instrument, but it is hot free from
iugglery. 1t was hoped that the Louisiana
convention would frame a Constitution
that would be an improvement on both
these States, but the work done so far has
not realized this expectation. There is
time vet to avoid mistakes and the severe
criticism the proposed suffrage clause is
meeting may enlighten the convention as
to the temper of the public on this subject.
But if it does not and some suffrage jum-
BILE is adopted Louisiana and the Demo
cratic party which controls the convention
will have to bear the blame.

The suffrage clause prepared by COM

Convention does not indicate that that
body will make a sincere effort to solve
this question. As now framed it fixes the
following requirements for voting. An

application for registration in the presence
of the registration officer if unable to
read and write he or his wife or minor

REORGANIZATION NECESSARY.

The scattered and disorganized condi-
ton of the Republican party in Virginia is
most shameful. 1t is "a serious reflection
upon the leadership that has produced
such state. Who is to blame? Certainly
not the people, not the one hundred and
thirty-fve thousand men who voted for
Mckinley in 1896.
There are two factions of the party in
the State, one which calls itself the Regu-
lars and the other is named the Lambites.
These factions were created by the wrang-
ling of the leaders. Our Democratic
friends say the leaders were simply fight
ing over the spoils, and not contending
for any principle. 1t is no matter whether
the contentious were the outcome of self
ish purposes or honest principle, the trou-
BILE in a most humiliating form exists, and
what should be proud, defiant party or
ganization is a dispirited and scattered
army, with no confidence in its leadership
1t will take something more than the usual
bugle call of the leaders to rally the scat
tered forces again. 1t can't be done by
printed addresses, especially wnen those
addresses are manifestos teeming with fac
tional utterances. 1t is our opinion that
there is but one way to reach the trouble
and remedy the evil, and that is by re-
organization of the party, To such a re-
organization the leaders Of the two factions
should not hesitate to submit. In conven-
ton the people would have an opportunity
to heal the breaches that have been made,
and effect a new organization to which the
rank and file of the party would rally. If
no State convention is held and no reor-
ganization effected, there will be faCtional
fights in all the districts Of the State at the
approaching Congressional election, except
in this, the Ninth district In this district
the Republicans will ignore the wranglings
of the leaders and stand together for vic
tory.
The approaching election is too impor-
tant for the Republican party in Virginia
to lose all opportunity for showing its
strength. Several Congressman could be
elected from the State, perhaps one hall
the delegation, if our party could be united.
A Republican who is sincere in his convc
tons and desires to see his party trium
plant should not hesitate to accept any
proposition that will bring the party to
gether. The Regulars" and the Lamb
ties" ought to unite in call for State
convention. When the representatives Of
the people get together the trouble vii
end, and not till then. By all means We
should have a convention.

ESCAPE OF THE OUTLAW
Makes His Way Through Groups of Excited People, Mounts His Horse
 and Rides Away.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

PORTLAND, Jan. 20-A daring at- tempt was made to hold up the cashier and rob the Citizens Bank. on the northeast corner of East Washington street and Union avenue. to-day shortly after 3 o'clock. The attempt would have succeeded but for the prompt and determined resistance on the part of A. w. Lambert, the cashier, who drove the robber from the bank and took a parting shot at him as he passed from the bankroom into the street. He missed by aiming a little too high.
 Although the bank is situated in the heart of East Portland, where numbers are constantly passing along the streets during the afternoon, and is surrounded by business houses, the rob- Der evaded every one and effected his escape unscathed. When he saw he was foiled in his purpose he hastily left the bank, hurried around the block and mounted a horse he had tied be- forehand on the other side of the same block.
 The entrance to the bank faces the center of the intersection of East Washington and Union avenue by means of double doors. The bank had just closed for the day and MT. Lam bert had pulled down the window shades. E. NJ. Sargent. real estate dealer, was in his office, which opens on East Washington street, and is in the rear of the bank building, being only separated from the bank room by a small room and two doors, one of which was open. He had just been talking to a customer when he was aroused by the shot Cashier Lambert had taken at the retreating form of the thug and dashed into the bank to as- certain the cause.
 The street in front of the bank was at the time deserted, but the report of the pistol soon caused a great crowd to gather from every direction. The scene for Q time resembled that when the First National Bank of East Portland was held up by Preacher J. c. Read, about four years ago.
 From the evidence at hand, 1t is clear that the highwayman had care fully planned his work. He was seen at 10 o'clock in the morning to make an examination of the rear of the building in which the bank is located. He was also seen by the same person a few minutes before the attempted robbery, surveying the ground. The presence of his horse also forces the conclusion that he had carefully plan ned his escape.
 During his brief stay in the bank he dropped a pair of spectacles, his mask, and outside the door his hat, a light felt one. Another hat and macintosh which he left behind for some. reason or other were found in the rear of the building. where he had been seen to put them by woman, only a few min utes before his attempt on the bank took place.
 The would-be robber is described as a man of medium height, looking rath- CT like a laborer, with a sandy beard and florid complexion. He was dress ed fairly well, but with an evident ef- fort at style, as his pants were neatly creased. The local police and detective force have done nothing with the case so far, and probably will not.

 CARSON, New, Jan. 20.-The Grand Jury is closing its labors in Genoa. Last night Judge Mack, for the first time since the meeting of the Grand Jury, remained over night in Genoa. To-day he was closeted with the District Attorney and said on the streets this evening that nine indictments are being made out and will be presented, but many shake their heads and say that the recess from tomorrow until Monday is too long an interval IT the Grand Jury means business.
 Chris Jensen, suspected of being one Of the lynchers, was before the jury to-day and swore that he was in Carson that night. Many witnesses were called to- suspected men who were before the jury on the defensive. Charles Hyronomous and Abe Rice saw the mob from the win dowS of the hotel opposite the jail, but when before the Grand Jury said they were unable to identify any of the per- sons in the mob. Henry Mack, Fritz Deerman, William Murphy and Mrs. Whitaker were recalled to-day.
 The lynchers have their agents in Ge- noa and Carson and will bring their pres sure on the jury between the Friday night adjournment and the meeting on Monday. They need six men to hold out against action, and it is expected that they will resort to intimidation and bri- bery to protect themselves.
 At the present writing the indications are in favor of indictment. The Sheriff nesses, who having been summoned failed to materialize. It is rumored that they have left the country to avoid tes- tfyfng.
