for cash only. As is well known, we
have often urged this course as best
for both huyer and seller. and in
fact, as the only real business course
to pursue. In some instances it is
difficult, and in others almost impos
sible, but in no department is il
absolutely beyond accomplishment
There will be times of emergency
when it will be absolutely neceSsal V,
pehaps, TO buy and sell on credit for
the time beir &, but practically, the
cash syst III can be maintained by
both the buyer aud seller, and should
be, and will be, when we see
things in the true light. The bur
den and worry of debt creates
dishonesty, discomfort, hard times
and poverty. The history Of the
credit system is the history of ruin =
ed merchants, sheriff7s sales and
mortaged homes and sleeplesa dis
content There are merchants, and
customers too, however, who have
unlimited means, and who find in
the credit system no inconvenience
but rather a profitable investment,
perhaps, but this class is small com
pared with the great mass of buyers
and sellers. One thing seems plain
the merchant who does a credit
business should have; and adhere
TO strictly, time price and cash
price. He can afford to sell cheaper
for cash, and the cash purchaser
should not be taxed to pay the in
terest on the time-buy er's purchases.
Ii A pays cash for his goods he
should have them cheaper than b,
who buys on six or twelve mont his
time. The only safe, sensible rule
OF business is, if you don't get the
money keep your goods, and if you
can't pay cash don't buy. and it will
come to this after a while, but there
will be, in the meantime, many ruin
ed MERCHANTS and mortaged homes.

The Constitutional Convention

The election returns indicat g
clearly that the convention measure
has cVrried by safe majority. The
negro voters of Richmond in spite of
the appeals of the Republican orga-
nization, did not turn out in large
numbers to vote against the prop
osition, and we think that they acted
wisely in so doing.
The negro vote has been a disturb
ing factor IN the politics of Virginia
for many years past, and in the
interest OF peace, honest elections
and pure politics, the time has come
for change. We hav more than
once said to the colored men Of the
State that there was no menace to
them in the convention proposition.
We believe that it will ultimately re-
dound to the good of the colored
race In this State Under the con.
sitution, which is to be framed, large
numbers of negroes will be derived
OF their votes, but will not suffer by
reason OF it. The black mans vote
has done him far mere harm TIM good
and the great majority of black men
iii this State would be better off
without the right OF suffrage than
with it. The whites are determined
that the nesro party in this State
shall not rule, and so measures have
ong been in force to nullify the
black mans vote His vote und.r
the present system is not effective
and never will be effective. and so
the black man might as well not
have the right to vote
So much for the masses; AS for
that class of intelligent, law abiding
property owning colored men, and
1t 10 considerable Gloss in Virginia
and growing. we are heartily in
favor of extending the suffrage 10
them. We believe that all such will
be given the right to vote, and that
the inducement will be held out to
other colored men to qualify.
Now tina tthe convention has been
called by the people the next most
important thi' G is to choose as ds,.-
gates true and tried men, who are
compcteat 20 re write abe organed
law of the State and who are so
devoted to Virginia and Virginias
interest that they will put aside every
personal and parta<n consideration
and act for tie good OF the common
wealth. Tnefs are p.enty of -uch
men inVirginia, and if the people do
not select them TO represent hem
in this convention the people will
have only themselves to blame.

The Next Step.
County Chairman.

Virginia has declared for q con-
stitutional convention by a safe
majority, Fay fifteen or twenty
thousand The Indictment weather
on election day kept many voters
at home, aud sufficiently accounts
for the smallness of the vote.
However, it is gratifying to know
that the appeal Of the people has
been successful, and that the re-
vision OF the constitution is now a
certainty. The next step in carry
ing out the will OF the people will
be to call for an extra session of
the legislature to provide for the
election of delegates to the con-
vention. 1t may be taken for
granted that an extra session will
be called, for nothing could be
done until the regular session,
which will begin in Decemb Der,
1901. Then some months would
elapse before the convention could
meet. and nobody can tell how
much time would be consumed in
performing Its task. Two years
would elapse before the new in
strument could be put into opera.
ration. When shall the extra SEES
sion of the Legislature be called to
meet1 This is the first question to
be decided. There seems to be a
general consensus of opinion that
1T should not be called to meet un-
til December-thst is, until the
Presidential election is over. In
November next the people will
have to vote for President and for
members of Congress-. A cam

is not thought wise to complicate
matters by calling upon the people
to decide at one and the same time
on national and State issues. After
the Presidential election is over they
can meet and consider without
distraction the business before
that body. 1t will be the duty of
the legislature to determine the
time of meeting for the conven-
ton, to fix the basis of representa-
ton, and to appoint time for the
election of delegates. All this can
be done in time for the convention
to meet next spring and do it
work before the public becomes

The Right to Disfranchise.

The privilege of citizenship does
not necessarily carry along with it
any inherent right to the ballot
box. A commonwealth has the
right, vested in her constitution,
to disfranchise any class of citizens
for any reason, provided, however,
that the 10Th. amendment to the
Constitution of the United States
Is not violated, which says, that
the right of suffrage shall not be
denied to any citizen on account of
"race, color or previous condition
Of servitude." A black man may
be disfranchised, but not because
he is black. A German citizen of
the State may be denied the right
OF suffrage, but not because he is a
German. The State, in the exer-
else Of Its sovereign rights, can
disfranchise any of its citizens for
any cause whatsoever, except those
mentioned above, Grace, color or
previous condition Of servItude,u
which provision was engrarted in
the constitution by the 18th.
amendment, after the war in order
to include the colored man. A
State has the right to refuse the
right OF suffrage to all one-armed.
ore-legged or black haired men, or
TO all men not over feet tall, or TO
any other class of men she NAV
choose, except as above stated. A
property qualification, as before
the war, or an educational qualIfi-
cation-as now exists in many
States. may be fixed, or any other
qualification deemed expedient or
desirable. But no citizen can be
denied the right of suffrage on ac>
count of his race, color, or his
previous condition Of servitude.
In the new constitution, which Will
be framed, these laws must and
will be scrupulously observed, of
course.
As matter of fact, the line
around the ballot bog is movable
and adjustable, as weTried to show
in recent issue of this paper, and
has been moved more than once in
the history Of our State govern
ment. Criminals, minors and
women are not allowed to vote, and
the State has the right TO say who
shall and who shall not have a
voice In the control of the affairs
Of the State. Therefore, it is clear
that only the very best and most
patriotic citizens should be sent to

ton is made,
