POOR POLITICS.

The gubernstorisl fight is getting
warm indeed, and so early in the
campaign. Virginians, we believe,
would rather see the present impor.
tant national campaign well out of
me way before they entered fight
Abieh-i,remises lively times within
Democratic ranks.
The first note Of resoundiDg arms
was heard last week, when Attorney
General Montague's friends set up
howl that the State Committee was
not toting fair with their youthful pet.
In retaliation, or, more properly, in
explanation, Chairman Ellyson, who
is himself q prominent candidate,
publicly pronounced as untrue the
claims Of Mr.. Montsgue's friends, and
did not stand upon the order of words
in explaining, either.
The professional politician is very
seldom found who is too good to take
shortcuts on his opponent, but in
this instance it seems that young
Montague has not waited for MeDuff
to lay on before hollOiDg. From
perusal of news reports it has
seemed to us that Mr.. Montague has
apparently been unfettered, either by
official duties or the reins of 3 State
Committee, and has been cutting hay
right and left, while others of his
opponents have been held down to
duties which prevented them from
reaching out after sheaves. AS Mr..
Ellyson says, the appointments of
Messrs. Mccormick and Swanson
have been exclusively within their
own Congressional Districts, Messrs'
Eehols and Marshall have done very
little speaking, and it goes without
saying that Mr.. Ellyson has been tied
down by his committee work. On the
other hand, Mr.. Montague has trsv.
eled, or has appointments from one
end of the State to the other, many of
these being in the large cities.
We like the young Attorney. General
and feel that there is great future in
store for him, but if he doesn't max
haste to discountenance the "baby
sct' which his friends have put up
for him his countrymen will taboo
him as they would a dose of physic
Sentiment don't 60 very far IN poll
tics, more especially when of the
whimpering stamp.
Since the above was in type Mr..
Montague has done the proper thing
eminently the only wise thing-in
repudiating the suggestion that he
has been unfairly dealt with. He
admits that he has had all the sp-
pointments that he desired.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
There seems to be little under.
standing about the two amendments
to the Constitution which the Legis
.lsture has required to be submitted
70 the vote of the people of this State
The amendments referred to are one
relative to combining the time for
holding spring and fall elections and
the one seeking to abolish Section 2,
Of Article Y, which stipulates that
there shall be no tax levied for the
catching of oysters from the natural
beds of the Commonwealth. Many
are under the impression that these
amendments are to be voted upon at
the coming November election, but
this is mistake; the time set is that
of the November election in 1901.
Since the passage Of the acts sub
hitting these questions to the vote of
the people the measure providing for
the holding of Constitutional Con.
vention to frame q new Constitution
has met with the approval of the
voters and changes the aspect Of
things in relation to the two indie
pendent amendments. This leads US
to believe that contingencies may
arise which will complieate matters.
The special session of the Legislature
that will probably be held in January
next may repeal the two Independent
statutes relating respectively to cleo
tions and oyster tax, leaving these
questions to be disposed of by the
Convention itself. If it does not do
80, whatever the Convention may do
with the two questions we do not see
how vote upon them at the stipu-
lated time can be avoided. That this
would produce complications will be
seen the more readily when it is con.
sidered thatthe work of the Conven'
ton will most likely be submitted to
the people, if at all, at the same cleo
ton. Hence the greater necessity
for the special session Of the Legis'
latnre's repeating the two indepen
dent statutes.
1t is not doubted that the Conven.
ton itself will dispose OF these two
questions In o satisfactory manner.
In such event it would be useless
procedure to require vote to be
taken separately upon them.
