HOPE OF A MEETING REVIVED.
EXCHANGES BETWEEN SENATOR FAIR
BANKS AND SIR WILFRID LAURIER
OF THE JOINT HIGH COMMISSION

Washington, July Notwithstanding a
rapid exchange Of kilograms to-day between
Senator Fairbanks in this CITY, and Sir Wilfrid
Iaurier in ottawa, no arrangement has been
reached as 20 the postponement Of the meeting
of the Joint High Commission. Some interest
attaches to this apparent transfer OF the nego-
tiations from the hands Of Ambassador Choate
and Lord Salisbury in London to those OF Sena-
for Fairbanks and Sir Wilfrid Laurer on this
side. and perhaps 1t is this change in the per-
sonality OF the negotiations which has given
rise TO the renewed hope Of reassembling OF
Z he Commission.

FRIDAY. ....... DECEMBER 8. 1879.
As A PARTY MEASURE.

II seems as though this session OF the
Legislature were TO be fruitful in PROPOSE
lions and discussions having reference to
a revision of our State Constitution.
And II would be we'll If 1t were so, Tor
the minds of the people have long been
made up that very important amendments
are necessary. There Is, however, a
wide difference of opinion as TO details.
and we doubt If any real, SOLID, substan-
tial progress can be made until the Dem
ocrats. as a party, take the subject
IN hand. But preliminary thereto L Is
desirable that there sho1ld be fua cis-
cussion. and the groundwork for That
is being prepared.
The Governor inclines TO the view that
all the changes in the Constitution which
are needed may be made hest and most
economically through a legislative COM
mittee or State commission, It's work TO
be submitted TO the General Assembly,
and such of 1t as is approved to be
agreed to by two legislatures and sub
mitted to the people for ratification or
rejection.
Mr. S. S. F. Patteson, Of Richmond,
has given notice of his purpose 10 offer
for legislative and popular action a suf-
frage amendment based upon the Missis-
sippl plan, which has run the gauntlet Of
the highest court in the land.
Senator Flood proposes that the Legis-
iature shall cause to be submitted to
the qualified voters Of this State in 1901
the question Of calling a convention TO
revise and amend the Constitution.
SO the subject is up, and is on a basis
for wide discussion, but We must reite-
rate our belief that none Of these prOpo-
sltions will avail unless made party
measure.
There was good deal Of sentiment in
the State in 1896 i'm favor Of calling a
constitutional convention, but the State
Democratic Convention which met i'm
Stanton that year took no action, pro or
con- What was the result? Why, thou
sands OF Democrats concluded that the
party leaders. to say the least, were
doubtful as to the expediency of holding
a constitutional convention, and the
further result was that at the polls the
proposition was overwhelmingly defeat
ed, a like fate would probably befall
any other movement not SUPPORTED by
the power and prestige Of our party.
Under exceptionally favorable circum-
stances our legislative caucus might
speak for the party. but the endorse
ment Of State Democratic convention
would be more persuasive and binding.
Such convention will be held next year
to make ready for the presidential cam
paign.
For the present the thing to do is to
find out by comparison OF views. first,
what changes in the State Constitution
are desirable. and. next. what way would
be the best TO effect them.
Quite possibly a committee representing
the two houses of the General Assembly
will have assigned TO II the duty of con-
sidering all propositions looking TO
changes in the Constitution. That would
seem to be a practical method of sitting
the question and centering upon a plan
which could be put forth as party mea-
sure. Launched as a party mea-
sure, II would have a guarantee Of
success before the people which other
wise we could not be sure Of

Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has stood

The old saying that rats desert a sink

who fear they will witness a practical
demonsti ion of the saw. Some days
ago the steamship Lasell. heavily laden
with a cargo of coffee, was held up at the

While she was anchored in the water
the Red Star liner Friesland collided with
her, and the Lasell was so badly injured
that 1t was necessary to beach her. Her
cargo has Deen practically ruined by the
water, so there Isl no danger from that.

the vessel and come ashore AS the little
rodents carry infection easily, the gravest
results are possible, and many Of the
islanders are quite uneasy A guard OF
men lines the shore and keeps constant
