IT is gratifying to the projectors,
and should be taken as great credit
10 this section of Virginia, that The
Lancaster National Bank is able to
present such II favorable showing as
is exhibited in the sworn report to
the Comptroller of the Currency and
published in another column. This
report is up to June goth, covering a
period of little over two mouths
since the bank was started, and shows
only items and balances, as called
for. During that period the
books show that all items which have
PASSED through the channels of the
bank amount to something over u
half million dollars, the aggregate of
deposits alone amounting to three
hundred thousand dollars.

THE INDIA FAMINE.
CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

lPeterSburg Indcr-Appedl.l
Here is what Virginia should do
in making up her constitutional con.
vention, stated by the Richmond DIS
patch with great felicity and force,
and we believe it fairly expresses the
sentiments of the press and people
of the State:
Let us try to have all classes we'll
represented. Let us try to repress AS
far as possible the idea so prevalent
in Virginia that forensic ability is
essential to successful work i'm de-
Lucrative bodies. Let us struggle to
give the control of the convention
into the hands Of men who favor a
restricted suffrage, and who are will
ing to vote for rigid economy in
State and local governments. In a
community where the trustiest man
to be found for this work is a lawyer,
we say send him, or if farmer, send
him, or if u journalist or business
man, send him.
In the makeup of the Virginia
constitutional convention, saws the
PWidSki Ners- Review, by all means
let the farmers and the mechanics.
and the Don-legal fraternity gener-
ally, be represented in that body,
but, of course, the real work must be
done bv sound constitutional LAWYERS.
Richmond Dispatch.
The Charlottesville PROGRESS thinks
the Dispatch is Sin doubt" as to
whether many lawyers ought to be
sent to the convention. 1t is mista-
ken. We do not wish to see the con-
vention overweighted with LAWYERS.
We desire to see that body truly rep
resentative of all Virginia interests.
But we reiterate that in our judg-
ment it is more important that del
egate should be in sympathy with
the convention movement than that
be should belong to this, that, or
the other profession or business call
ing. The prime test in selecting del
egates should be whether they at
heart are in favor of constitutional
reform.
THE Virginia Ldp Journpll
by all means let the farmers and
she mechanics and the non-legal fra
ternity generally be represented in
the convention, and literally repre-
sented, bat 1t must not be forgotten
that the real work of the body must
be- done by sound constitutional law
yers. These have not only the tech
nical knowledge necessary for such
work, but knowledge of those fuudass
mental rights and liberties that es-
pecially need to be guarded, the
study of the rights of the Individual
and remedies for their protection and
enforcement.

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
From DER Regular Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 10th, 1900.
The Republicans are beginning to
realize that the opposition of our
German voters to Imperialism is not
mere passing whim, but is based
upon principle.
The administration is figuring on
legislation at the coming session of
Congress, when the election will be
over, for large increase In the
regular army. This is not "A guess.
IT is based upon plans now being
made by the War Department to
keep 10000 soldiers In the Philip
pines to do police duty after July l =,
1901. when the twO-year-termso of the
volunteers now over there will ex-
pire. Present laws provide for a
regular army of less than 10000 men
and of course the entire army can
not be kept inthe Philippines. There
fore, it is absolutely certain that the
present plans of the War Department
are based upon the expectation that
Congress in 1901 will provide for a
larger regular army.
When Perry Heath was chosen to
succeed Representative Dick, as
Secretary of the Republican National
Committee, it was simply changing
one Hanna-made man for another.
Heath Will resign the position of
First Assistant Postmaster General.
but it will not be as a punishment
for having had a hand in giving
Nicely a chance to steal Cuban Postal
Funds. In fact, Heath knows too
much about Hanna's campaign
methods in 1896, to make it safe to
attempt to punish him, even if it
were considered desirable. 1t is
among the probabilities, if Hanna
can win again. that Heath will be a
member of Mr.. McKinley's next
Cabinet.
