sn latent Medicine witch Has III
Field to Itself.
A prominent physician was re-
c3nty asked why it was there are
10 many blood purifiers" nerve
ftonics" and medicines for every i'll
except one of the most common
and annoying diseases. viz, piles.
He replied, there are two princi-
pal reasons: First. physicians
and people in general have thought
for years that the only permanent
cure for piles was surgical oper-
alton, and that medicinal prepare
tons were simply pallatives and
not cure for the trouble.
Another reason is that piles, un.
like many other diseases, is in no
sense an imaginary trouble. A
sufferer from piles is very much
aware of the fact and for this rea-
son the few pile salves and ONT
ments, etc., have been short lived
because the patient very soon. dis
covered their worthlessness.
He continues: However, there
is a new pile remedy which, judg-
ing from its popularity and extent
of its sale, will soon take the place
of all other treatment for piles.
1t has certainly made thousands
of cures IN this obstinate disease
and its merit, repeatedly tested,
has made 1t famous among physi-
clans and wherever introduced.
The remedy is sold by druggists
everywhere under name of Pyra-
mid Pile Cure.
1t is in convenient, suppository
form, composed of harmless as
tringents and healing oils, gives
immediate relief in all forms of
piles and a radical cure without
resort to the knife and without
pain or interference with daily oc-
cuaption.
One strong recommendation for
the remedy is that 1t contains no
cocaine nor opium and is absolute
ly safe to use at any time.
One of the suppositories is APP
piled at night, is absorbed and the
cure is natural and painless.
It permanently cures itching,
bleeding or protruding piles and is
the only remedy except danger
Gus surgical operation that will
do so.
All druggists sell complete
treatment of the suppositories for
so cents and the Pyramid Drug
Co.. of Marshall, Mich. will mail
free to any address little book
on cause and cure of piles which
may be of assistance In chronic
cases.

There seems to be a good deal OF I'M
necessary confusion in the minds Of
some people as to what is the real is
sue in the matter of the proposed con-
yention to amend the Constitution. 1t
may not be out of place. therefore, to
state again the elements of the ques-
kion:
The last General Assembly passed n
law that the question of holding a con-
ventton to amend the Constitution shall
be voted on the fourth Thursday in
S1ay, next by the people of Virginia.
In order that 1t may be assured that
the convention to amend the Constitu-
ton will be called. that is to say, that
majority OF the qualified voters will
be assured for It, 1t is proposed that

THAT ENDLESS CHAIN.
ATLANTA Constitution.)

Mr.. Seligman, the New York banker,
has written Il letter to Secretary Gage
calling his attention TO the fact that the
republican currency bill, as 1t has been
retouched by the conference committee
leaves the way clear for the revival
ana renewal of the 'cndleSs chain" so
often denounced by the gold standard
during the Cleveland admins tration
The Journal OF Commerce, comment
ing on Mr. Seligmans letter, says that
the bills passed by the House and SEN
ate were silent as TO the reissue of
the redeemed notes. but implied that
they were to be impounded and releas-
ed only in exchange for sold additional

contemporary adds. this was not so
clear as il might he"
There have been ii great many com

endless chain" that is to say the re-
demption and reissue of government
paper currency. Some said that the
draft on the treasury gold during
Cleveland's administration was the re-
suit of deficiency in the treasury and
there were other reasons given; some
said one thing and some another, but
the real reason was that Cleveland had
put the financial world on notice that
he would redeem lega! tenders in gold
and not in 'coin,' or gold and silver.
various foreign bankers seized on the
opportunity to replenish their own re-
serves and to aid Austria of Russia in
establishing the gold standard.
Our own bankers deemed this moment
opportune TO secure more bonds not
only as an investment for their surplus
FUNDS, but as a sort of guarantee for
the extension of the national banking
system. Then. again. those bankers
who had manifested keen interest in
the gold standard thought that. the de-
pletion of the gold reserve would be a
good object lesson to business men all
over the country. and brighten them
INTO indorsing currency scheme which
has not single rational or logical
argument or !. single historical fact to
support it.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 81. 1900.
TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA.

The Virginian- Pilot comes to make
gInia, and in doing SO, we feel that
we will meet with a welcome that the
effort deserves.
This paper has stood UP for the peo-
pie. and their rights, when other pa
pers were silent, or were even in adj
vocacy of men and measures hostile to
free choice and free ballot. This will
not be denied.
You know our past record. 1t Is for
the people every time, let the conse-
quences be what they may. Let what
happen that will; let the fight lead
where it Wilt this paper defends and
advocates the voice and rights of the
people.
We want you to feel and to know that
we are looking after your interest in
the matter of holding n convention to
change the Constitution. We desire
that It be known. that the Virginian-
Pilot joins with you in It's desire to
change the Constitution by conven-
ton; but it Wishes you to feel and
know that the VIRGINIAN-PIL
DEMANDS THAT THE CHANGES
MADE IN THE CONSTITUTION BY
THE CONVENTION SHALL BE SUB
MITTED TO THE VOTE or THE
PEOPLE FOR RATIFICATION OR
REJECTION BY THEM
We want you to know that there is
no issue upon the question of CHANG
ING THE CONSTITUTION BY A
CONVENTION, but there is a question,
and a strong issue. as to distrusting
and ignoring the people by declining
or failing to submit the changes to the
vote of the people.
We do not want any cut and dried
Constitution foisted upon the people
against their wishes. We want the
bright light of day upon the matter.
and for the people to have the final
word and the last say.
The Virginian- Pilot wants the meas
ure placed before you, that you may
read and digest it-think it over and
discuss it. That is all we want Surely
no one can object to that.
We believe 1t to your interest to vote
for submission of the changes in the
Constitution to the will of the people.
We believe 1t to your interest to in
struct your delegates to the Demo-
cratic State Convention, to be held in
this city on May I'd, to vote that such
changes as may be made in the Consti-
tuition shall be submitted to the judy
ment of the people at the polls.
These are important facts, and you
should DISCUSS them and thoroughly
understand the situation.
1t is not changed Constitution we
are fighting. but PRIVATE CONSTR
TUITION that might be foisted upon
ehe people, to their great injury. that
would be binding and final. Mark
that!

MIR. SwANsoN'S EXPENSES.

With all due respect to Hon. Claude
A. Swanson's claim for the return Of
such money as he paid out in prosecu-
ton Of the contest waged against him
OF his Republican opponent, Mr.. John
r. Brown. and without for moment
questioning the merits Of the case, it
occurs to us as bad policy to ask Con-
gress for the money. and a worse pre-
cedent to set In paying 1t.
Already the government has had to
pay besides the salary OF the Congress
man, the sum of $4,000 each to Mr..
Swanson and Mr.. Brown, for main
tanning the contest. Why Congress
ever offered such an inducement as
$4,000 for contest is hard to under
stand, yet this ought to be enough.
The people have very little idea of
the manner in which the money in
the national treasury is used, because
it is paid In. and collected, mostly in an
indirect way.
We would be pleased to see the Vir-
ginia Congressman voting to do away
with the $4,000 now allowed as ex-
penses for contests. thus doing away
with the chief inducement for such,
instead of asking for more.
II we mistake not, the government
has had to pay in this district the
salary of Mr.. Young at the rate of
$4,000; that OF Mr.. Wise at the same
rate besides the sum of $1,000 to each,
for contest-expenses. This makes s14, 900
for the services of a Congressman for
one year.
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-03-21

meets here May I'd, declare in favor Of
the convention to amend the Constitu-
ton. thus pledging the party to 1t.
1t is here that. practically, the only
difference OF opinion arises. The Vir-
ginan- Pilot, and those who believe
with 1t. that the PEOPLE of the State
should have the last word as to what
shall be the amendments to the Con-
stitution. say that at the same time
that the Democratic State Convention
pledges the Party to the amendment
of the Constitution by a convention to
be called for that purpose, that 1t
should also by resolution pledge the
Party as in favor OF submitting what
ever amendments that may be made by
the convention to the people of the
State for ratification or rejection.
Others contend that without any such
safeguard the Democratic Party should
be pledged to the proposed convention,
leaving the whole question as to
whether or not the people shall have
an opportunity to pass on the amended
Constitution, open until after the May
election.
The VirglnlanPilot makes not the
slightest objection to the amendment
of the Constitution (under proper safe
guard by convention called
for that purpose. In order to
secure needed changes in the
fundamental law, let the Democratic
State Convention, if necessary, pledge
the party. Then let it leave nothing to
chance. Let 1t go one step further and
also declare: And the Constitution as
amended shall be submitted to a vote
of the qualified electors OF the State
for rejection or adoption" That will
safeguard the interests of the whole
people. 1t will also keep the Demo-
cratic record straight.
The Democratic party embraces a
large majority of the voters of Vir-
GINA. The probabilities are all that
whatever it declares for. will carry at
the polls. If it declares for n conven-
ton to amend the Constitution it will
doubtless be called. What assurance
is there that after a convention has
been called, and has amended the Con-
stituton, that the people will be given
an opportunity to review the action OF
the convention? What possible harm
could come from the additional pledge
that the PEOPLE shall have a chance
to pass on the amendments to the
Constitution?
1t is all very well to say that the
General Assembly will determine later
whether or not there shall be popu-
lar vote on the amended Constitution
The General Assembly is not directed
or authorized by our organic law to
pass on that question.
The delegates composing the consti-
tutional convention have the privilege
| or right to submit the amendments
(made by them) to vote of the quail
fed voters of the State for ratification
or rejection: and 1t Is believed that
should the Democratic party in the
State Convention declare itself In favor
OF such n course. 1t would meet with
the approval of the party at the polls
and also of a majority of the Demo-
cratic members Of the Constitutional
Convention.
If the Democratic party Is to assume
responsibility for amending the Con-
stitution, let it have also the wisdom
and the courage to say that, WHEN
THE CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN
AMENDED. THE PEOPLE SHALL
SAY WHETHER OR NOT 1T IS
SUITED TO THEIR NEEDS.
