THE CONSTITUTIONAL coNvEN-

Tho affirmative action Of the Demo-
cratic caucus on the proposition TO call
a constitutional convention is :. move
7nent in the direction of honest elections
in Virginia, and as such we give it or
hearty approval. AS an Independent
proposition, The Times is not in favor
OF holding u constitutional convention.
we believe that all needful reforms may
he obtained by the process Of amend
ment. and it has been our opinion, and
is our opinion, that that were the safer
plan. But many other Nirsinians who
desire honest elections have made up
their minds that the surest way to ac-
complish this result is through con-
stitutional convention, and where all are
agreed as to the great end TO be attained
there should be no falling out about the
means. The Times has always main
taincd that the great body of Nirginian
voters were honest and patriotic, and in
favor of honest elections, and that they
never would have countenanced for one
moment practices that have prevailed
in certain localities but for the fact
these practices were necessary to white
supremacy The people have been chatting
under it more and more. until they
have determined to rise up in their might
and majesty and remove every possible
pretext for fraud and trickery. They
say that II the ignorant and vicious
negro vote is The cause of corruption
~
and shall be removed. They say that
fit is more courageous and honorable
and better for public morals and good
government TO come out boldly and dis
franchise the negro. than tc make pre-
tence of letting him vote and then cheat
ing him at the polls.
That is the true meaning OF The con-
sti,utional convention movement. The

CURRENT TOPICS.

The Vicksburg Herald says:
'Virginia is now in q fair way Of join
ing the States that have separate car
ing to race. While this provision is op
posed by negro ag.Iators, nothing is
more fruitful Of incidents provoking strife
and ill-feeling than the common use of
passenger cars by white and black travel
lers. AS the best evidence Of the poDu-
arity of race cars, in no State having
such law has there ever been even an
effort at its repeal.
That is the philosophy of the case. This
measure is not intended to degrade the

peace and good order.

WIFE SMOKED CIGARS.

Henry Marcus, who recently inherited
$1,000, Coo from his father, is having trotiole
with his wife. Mrs. Marcus has sued LOT
a separation. charging him with abandon
!nent, and she caused his arrest on the
charge that he wars about to leave the
State and go to Baltimore to avoid pros
ecution Their marriage took place on
October 81, 1896. She declared that he
abandoned her several times, returning
and promising to do better, and the last
time he appeared he gave check for
S54 to their landlady, which was said to
have been forged
Marcus story is that the only reason
his wife is now suing him is because he
has fallen heir to one-fitth of his fathers
fortune OF S3,GG0,CG0 of which he expects
soon to get possession. He says that his
wife has offered to reaese him from his
marital obligations on the payment to
her of large sum of money, but he re-
jected her proposition. Marcus declares
that he has always been ready to support
his wife. and is willing to Go so now.
but that her desire for strong drink and
the fact that she has acquired habit
for smoking cigars and cigarettes has
been the cause OF a great deal of trouble
between them.
