A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

State Senator Barksdale, of Hall.
fax county, who is really one of
the most sensible fellows i'm the
General Assembly, has proposed
an amendment to the States Con
stitution which offers the only
practicable solution OF the expense
trouble outside of a constitutional
convention. Mr.. Barksdale pro.
poses to abolish the county courts
and create district courts i'm their
stead. This ought to be done by all
means; but in our opinion it will
never be done by the tedious and
uncertain process of constitutional
amendment, as proposed by the
Senator from Halifax. The thing
for the General Assembly to do is
to pass the Withers bill for a con
stitutiOnal convention, and give
the people another chance, to
utterly cast away the monstrous
Underwood constitution, which
which was put upon theState in re-
construction times by ignorant and
what the Richmond Times calls
" mean white allies" The attempt
being made at Richmond to curtail
expenses by cutting a few official
salaries is simply pettifogging. 1t
is painful. 1t is in effect. if not in
purpose, an attempt to evade the
serious problem Of entire constitu.
tional revision, which is an impcr.
ative necessity. The people will
neither be deceived nor pacilied
by any such botch- work. The Gen.
eral Assembly should quit such
childs play and refer the whole
matter to constitutional conven.
ton; and the Democratic party OF
the State should not again fool
the people into again voting
against the only practicable meth.

DON'T CALL 1T.

AT this writing it seems almost
certain that the question Of calling
a Constitutional Convention will
be again submitted to the voters
of the State, this year. The pres.
cnt Legislature seems 20 be una
bic to reach any agreement on
the Rctrenchmcnt and Reform
problem, and the people Will have
TO take the matter in hand. at
last.
When the question was before
the State last fall it was said, in
opposition to the Convention, that
the General Assembly was the
proper source from which to expect
proper legislation on the subject,
that a promiScuous gathering of
people was incapable OF deciding
grave constitutional questions, and
the worst Of consequences might
result from such an attempt.
There are most certainly, some
grave objections to Constitution.
nj Convention at this time. One
serious objection is the time that
must necessarily clapSe before
practical rcstlts can be reached
through Il Convention, as nothing
could be done before 1902
1t has been suggested that the
Legislature appoint Il Commission
to do the work. The suggestion
seems to us good, for many rea-
sons. Other States have adopted
this plan with satisfactory results.
Let the Legislature appoint a
part of the commission and the
Governor the rest.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT.

1t has been known for several
weeks that negotiations were pend
ing looking to a change in the man
agement OF the CLINCH VALLEY News.
L am prepared now to announce
positively, that the negotiations have
closed, and that Mr.. II. NJ. Smvthe
will be connected with the paper in
an editorial capacity. The Poca-
hontas Headlight plant will be NOV
ed from Pocahontas and combined
with the News office. We feel sure
that this announcement will be re
ceived with pleasure by the public
generally. Mr.. Smythe is too well
known to need any introduction to
our people. He is known as an odi.
tor of experience, and his ability rs
such is probably not surpassed by
any man in the State. In 1876, we
believe it was, he established the
present CLINCM VALLEY News, and
was for number of years its editor.
He also established the Now State
Gazette, the Headlight, and the pres
ent Daily Press, OF Danyille.
While editor of the Headlight
MIR. Smytho was appointed Minister
from the United States to Hayti, by
President Cleveland, which position
he filled with credit to himself. and
with satisfaction to the Administra.
ton. Hence, he brings to the pa
por wide experience, made so by
years of editorial work, and II
wide acquaintance with men and af
fairs. l gladly resign to Mr.. Smythc
the editorial position on tho paper
position which | have been. sun
ming around in for ninelnonths, trys
ing to fill. yH )
The name of tho CLrfsR as.sx
News, S. long and 50 favofabfy
known throughout the State will be
retained. 1t will be enlarged to NEE;
the demands of its widened field, and
the management hope to make it.,
not only the exponent of Democrat
ic principles, but the faithful and
nnfllnching advocate of the whole
people i'll all that concerns them.
There will be, necessarily, some
delay in eifecting the change, as the
moving of the Office from Pocahom.
tas, and fitting up larger quarters
here will necessarily take time. Def
mite announcements will be made
next week. AS the business men
say, "thanking you in advance for
hearty support and ii liberal patron
