POLITICIANS
TO REST TO-DAY
But Many Matters VIII Claim Their
Attention in the Com
ing Year.

Political leaders, like all other good
citizens, will take a brief rest during the
holidays.
With the opening OF the new year, how
ever, win come the greatest food Of pub
lie matters that has swept over the
State in its entire history, and from the
opening day of the extra session OF the
Legislature on January 23d until the 9TH
of the following November the leaders
and the people will have their hands full.
Besides the stirring events which will
take place in the extra session of the
Legislature, the delegates to the Consti-
tutional Convention Will have to be nom
mated and elected, and the body will sit
to frame a new organic law for the State.
The great fight for Governor in the
meantime viii keep the pot boiling"
and there will be the usual biennial
Scramble for membership in the Gen
eral Assembly
The grand climax will be reached at the
November elections, when State officers
and members of the Legislature will be
chosen and the new constitution either
ratified or rejected by the people
Hon. w. w. Baker. member of the
House ot Delegates from Chesterfield, was
in the city yesterday, probably selecting
Christmas presents for his friends. Cap
tain Baker thinks there will be some
great fights in the legislative caucus in
January. He does not regard the Judge
ship contest as by any means settled, and
believes that the struggle will probably
be long-draWn-o He is also of opin-
ion that q great many matters in connec-
ton with the arrangements for the Con-
stitutional Convention will precipitate
fights in the body, and that it will take
some time for the Legislature to dispose
Of these questions.
Capt. Baker reiterated his oft-repeated
declaration upon the Importance of the
conventions work, and said he was still
hoping that the very best men would be
elected to the body from all sections of
the State

CAPTAIN WISE HAPPY.
tie Solves a Very hnutty Christmas
Problem.

Captain George D. Wise has been very
much bothered for the past week over
the perplexing question of selecting suit
able Christmas presents for his little
friends and kinsfolk, but he lit on a plan
yesterday which solved the problem.
and which will, no doubt prove eminently
satisfactory to all.
He went to his bank about 10 o'clock
and drew out a handful of shining gold
coins and came out with his face wreathed
in smiles.
The popular Captain said: II have
solved the problem. I have rackei
my brain trying to think what
would be appropriate presents for
those I wish TO remember, and have
decided to give them money and let them
do their own selecting"
Captain Wise seemed very much relieved
that he had arrived at a happy conclu-
sion in the matter before the glorious day
arrived.
