ALESSON FOR Us.

The Louisiana constitutional convention
which opened its session on February
nth has adjourned, having completed us
work.
telegram from New orleans says
that the constitution framed by the con-
yention gives little satisfaction. and
would undoubtedly be voted down, II SUBJ
n,itted 10 the popular vote bus that this
will not he done. The convention promul-
gated the constitution on Thursday night
and the instrument will go into effect
without popular approval.
Here IS something for the convention
advocates in Virginia TO think about. A
constitutional convention is the most au-
tocratic gathering in the land. When II
assemblies 1t wipes out the organic law
O, the state and writes it anew. There
is no power on earth that can stay It's
hand. and no power on earth that can
force the convention 10 submit its work
TO a vote Of The people for their APPROX
al or disapproval.
The people of Louisiana may fret as
much as they please, bat they are pow
erlegs 10 act. They must submit 20 the
new constitution, whether they like IL or
not. until another constitutional conven-
ton has been called and another consti-
tuition framed and promulgated.
But why not call another convention
and make another constitution that the
people will like? There's the rub. 1t IS
in most States n slow process by which
such conventions are called, and the ex-
pense Is always TO be considered. But
more than all what guarantee have the
people Of Louisiana that another conven-
ton would frame a constitution any more
satisfactory than the instrument which
the recent convention has just prepared?
When these things are considered, Is 1t
strange that The Times should have ex-
pressed its apprehension of a constitu-
tional convention in Virginia? There is
no telling what a constitutional conven-
ton will do, and we confess that we
would rather get along with the present
constitution. and change Il here and there
through the safe process Of amendment,
than TO call together promiscuous body
and give II carte blanche in writing the
fundamental law OF the state.

RETURN OUR FLAGS.
Wipe Out Now the Last Trace Of the
Late Unpleasantness.

The following explains itself;
To the Veterans Of 1s6l-1S65-The Loyal
Legion, the Union Veteran Legion, the
Grand Army Of the Republic:
The present war for humanity having
demonstrated that tho ex-Confederate
soldiers and their sons and the ex-Union
soldiers and their sons are one IN deNo-
ton 10 our united country, and that We
are all good Americans now fighting un-
der the one flag, IS not this the right
time TO wipe out the last trace OF all
ill feeling engendered in the argument
of lS6l-lS65, and return TO the survivors
Of the southern regiments the battle
flags which have been held for the last
thirty years or more as war trophies az
State capitals OF the North and az the
War Department in Washington?
Is it not best that this shall be the free
act Of the survivors OF the Union army
the men who won the battle trophies
rather than leave il for our descendants
another generation, 20 do?
There Is not much that the veterans Of
ls6l-1S65 can do in thepresent war eN-
cept maybe 10 make the way smooth for
the younger men whose fathers fought
on either side during "our war or laol-
1865.
Personally. I favor the suggesuon-that
the survivors OF the Union army snail,
of their own accord, as their volunteer
act. return the trophies OF the civil war
10 the survivors OF the southern regi-
ments 90 do with as they please III
these flags had been battle trophies or
foreign war 1 would be in favor OF retain
ing them for all time
Now. that General Fitzhugh Lee and
General Joseph Wheeler, formerly ofncers
OF high rank in the Confederate army
have entered the United States army,
with fully fifty thousand ex-Confederates
or sons Of ex-Coniederates supporting
them and unfolding our flag, and all
wearing the Union blue. is not the time
at hand when the last trace OF the AMI
mosities Of the far-distant past should Dc
wiped out?
The reunion Of the Grand Army OF the
Republic in Cincinnati next September
will probaly be the last great gathering
OF the veterans of 1S61-lS65, as their yeats
are rapidly telling against them. Would
not be this be the time 90 return the tro-
phies OF the Civil War, when more than
a hundred thousand veterans VIII De

THE LOGIC OF FREE suvERITEs

The Progressive Farmer, one OF the
leading Populist publications OF North
Carolina. in discussing the question of
fusion with rle Democrats. said:
For our part. we do not remember
hoving heard a single Democrat refer
to the proposed cooperation except as
fusion on silver" And If Chairman
Butler has graduated from the infant
class in the reform movement he should
know silver is only one step toward
financial reform, only one act in the great
work OF reforming our financial system.
And Is 70 not plain that this one thing
would not bring prosperity to the peopleT
Suppose We were 10 secure free silver?
When IL failed TO better the financial
condition Of the people TO the degree
they had anticipated would they not
become discouraged. yea disguised. with
the reform movement and return 10 their
wallowing in the mire? Would not their
last state be worse than the first?
There is an artless candor about this that
IS refreshing. Time without number have
we said the same thing through these
columns and now that our contention Is
fortified by the frank confession OF a
Populist organ we hope that some OF our
friends in the free silver Democracy Will
be brought TO reflection.
Time without number have we said In
these columns that free silver was but
step in the direction Of fat money. The
people at large care nothing for silver

prsslon that 10 open the mints OF the

sequence boom 10 business
Those OF as who are opposed TO free

be the fact. We believe that free

silver would so derange the financial sys-
tenn as TO cause n panic and a paralysis
OF business. We believe that instead OF
increasing the amount Of local currency
the silver would be piled up Ia
money centres just as the gold Is now
piled up and that there would sim
10 a great dearth Of local currency. we
do not pretend 20 know II all but that
is our belief and the belief Of great
majority Of the astute financiers OF the
United States
At any rate the most ardent free sill
verltes must confess that free coinage
is an experiment and that there Is at
least an element OF doubt as TO whether
or not IL would. as our North Carolina
contemporary puts It, better the con-
ditlon OF the people" One Of the leaders
OF the free silver movement has confess
cd that the immediate effect of free coinage
would be to precipitate a panic, and that
the good results would come only atter
a period of terrible depression. In other
words that it would take time TO put the
new system into operation and to ac-
connnodate Il to the needs Of the country.
But would the great masses Of Che sill
verites be content TO wait? Have they not
been taught that the one thing neediul
10 the prosperity Of this country was the
openiny OF the minis TO silver. and that
with the adoption of that expcdient the
country would bloom as a rose? But sup
pose the experiment should fail? Sup
pose prosperity did not Immediately re-
turn under free coinage. Would the
people not become discouraged as the
Progressive Farmer says; and would they
not at once demand an unlimited issue
OF greenbacks?
The Populists are thoroughly satisfied
on this point. They know wei enough
that free silver is not a sufficient remedy
snd will not fulfill the promises Of its
advocates. But they know that If the
experiment is made IL will result. II the
siverites Of all parties may have their
way, in fat money. That is the reason,
and the only reason that the Populists
have consorted with the Democrats in
this movement. and the Democrats have
played from the start right into the
hands of the Populists. II the free sill
yer movement shall run its logical
course. it must inevitably end in flatsm.
