Virginia Wants a New Constitution.

Though the vote cast at the election
on Thursday TO decide whether the Con-
stitution of Virginia shall be revised was
small, the proposition To hold a convention
received a large majority, and is, there
fore, assured. This result is the outcome
OF an agitation inausuraHed years ago
and continued since then with undated
vigor. Virginians, without regard to
party, have long been impressed with
the excessive financial burdens which
the State is required TO bear under the
existing organic law, the latter admitting
Of the creation Of superfinous offices and
possessing other serious defects thar
patriotic citizens desired to have rene
died.
Virginia's criminal expenses, for in
stance, greatly exceed those of North
Carolina, although the two States have
almost the same popuia ton. In the Old
Dominion there are 122 courts, costing
$4,000 to maintain, while the Old North
States has only 10, which call, for an out
lay of SEQ, 1G6 The entire judicial and n
nancial machinery of the former consists
Of 121 judges, 116 prosecuting attorneys.
2h5 commissioners of revenue, lao court
clerks and 1l9 treaSurerS, against only -
judges, 70 prosecuting attorneys and 100
court clerks in North Carolina. Virginia
pays for her public schools 81. 62oG01 a year.
whereas North Carolina. with a larger
average attendance. eNpends only 100000,
The county expenses of Virginia foot up
81, 100000 annually, while those of North
Carolina amount TO not more than $3.50
Equally unfavorable is the comparison
relative to administrative disbursements,
the figures being $780,. 900 and S3SS, Goo re-
spectively.
But this is not the only reason which
impelled influential Virginians to work for
revision. The present Constitutoin was
adopted in the days of the carpet-baggers
who proceeded to create Us many offices
as possible, and also shaped the election
system as to offer the strongest guar
antee of keeping themselves in office. In
The matter of franchise, public opinion in
Virginia reflects closely the sentiment
which prevails in other Southern States It
is the conviction of substantial citizens
who strive zea3ously to promote the wei
fare of the Comnol.wea that the true
interests of THE latter would be subserved
by excluding from participation in the
elective franchise the ignorant and the
vicious. The Constitutional Convention,
therefore, may be expected to include in
the new draft "a provision setting III, prop
erty and educational requirements for vo-
tiers, as has been done elsewhere.
Unless extensive economies are intro
duced, the larger rate of interest on the
public debt and an increase in the amount
of pensions paid to Confederate soldiers
will make 1t necessary to raise the rate
of taxation. There can be no doubt how
ever. that the people of Virginia will prove
equal to the occasion and that the new
organic law to be framed will meet all the
demands OF the Observation-Disclosures Her

HARD WORKERS.

wish some of those fellows who chat
ter so glibly about labor and never did a
square days work in their lives would
join the knights of the grip. In the rich
fields of drumming" they would have
full opportunity to crafty their desire
10 work and see what a pie time We
travelling men have. Six days of work
and six nights and Sunday on the cars
viii give them a bang-up opportunity to
demonstrate to their personal satisfaction
the picnicking time traveling-man has.

try IN a springless wagon, and it's pies

have such a picnic will be a gutter.
When it comes to hustling, the Kansas
City newsboy is not behind his older
seeker after the coin. His shrill voice
can be heard with the growing of the
chicks in the morn, and he keeps it up
till the curfew rings at o'clock at night,
which is the signal for all children to
leave the street. There are four fine
papers here-morning Times and Journal,
afternoon paper. put out their first edi-
o'clock. The newshoy thus has great
