Mr.. Bryan was in Richmond last
Monday, where he addressed the menu
bers Of the legislature and all others who
could crowd into the Academy of Mu-

Richmond he went South, where he is
booked to speak in many places. Two
members of the Legislature, one a Sen

taste Of speaking too long. The crowd
went to hear the visitor, and not the

SHALL WE HAVE THE CONVENTION

The answer to this question Is found
in the fact that the Underwood con-
yention gave to Virginia its present
constitution, and as like produces like,
ofcourse there can be nothing Nirginian
about it.
We could fill columns with sugges-
tons of changes. in our opinion not
only desirable but of pressing need, and
we would then only be pointing out
that which is already plain to Virgin
ians who have given any thought to
the.subject. Visions of fat offices, per-
manent places and perquisites tioated
before those suddenly made statesmen,
(GOd save the markD who framed the
constitution under which we are liv-
ing and labOring. They and their
friends feasted and fattened on them
for years, and now that they are turn
ed out to Craze on short grass or starve,
Virginians, true and loyal, do not care
to attend feast which is being spread
at such cost to the mother common
wealth.
The people will be first called on to
say whether or not we are to have the
convention, and when that has been
agreed on, as it will be, then the serious
duty Of selecting proper representatives
will be next in order. There will be
no lack of good material, and the con-
ventiOn should be worthy successor of
the memorable one which met in
Richmond, October 9Th, 1929, and
which had upon its list of members
such names as those of Madison, Mon
roe, Marshall, Randolph and host of
worthy associates. They had their
problems to solve, their difficulties to
master, their temptations to resist,
and so will we have ours, but catching
from them the esprit of rs" and hold
ing on as they did to the "Bill of
Rights" and loving as they did "a
government of the people, by the peO-
pie and for the people," we can hope
to adopt chart by which Virginia
may safely sail through calm and
storm. In the meantime and ever we
will continue daily and devOutly to
say: "God save the commonwealth.

WASHINGTON, Feb, II, 1900
The attitude Of the Democrats in
Congress, as PARTY, towards the
Nicaragua Canal treaty, which the adj
ministration has negotiated with Eng
land and sent to the Senate, and the
Porto Rico tariff bill, which has been
reported to the House, and will be
taken up this week and iammed
through as party measure, is thor
oughly American, and consequently
right. The treaty gives more than il
provides for our receiving. 1t allows
us to build a canal with our money.

the same privileges we take for our

the present treaty we should have no

TAKE CARE OF THE OLD CONFED-
CRATES.

We are in closest sympathy with
those members of the legislature who
urge that Virginia's first duty just now
is, so far as is possible, to provide for
the comfort of the deserving and desti-
tute old Confederate soldiers. The
constitutional convention must be had,
but after that, other things, such as
travelling auditors, increased appropri-
atoms to public institutions, relief of
embarrassed officials, &c, DC, must give
way to the pressing claims of the old
heroes. They were Virginia soldiers,
and in their distress have no other
country to which to make application
for relief. No man who loved to follow
when a Lee led the way, nor who
rushed with Jackson, nor who rode
with Stuart, nor who charged with
Pickett, nor who fought with Long
street and who survives to face the foe
of want, should be allowed to yield to
the new foe. None but the worthy
will apply, and so we are not to fear
pension scandals No self-supporting
Confederate will ask for aims. The
needy should not be allowed to ask in
vain. Virginia is poor, and yet not
too poor to give to such sons. We give
twice when we give quickly. Take
care Of the old Confederates.
