Party Plan to Be Considered.

At recent meeting of the State
Democratic Committee, q resolution
was adopted requesting the State
Chairman to appoint committee of
ten, one from each Congressional dis
trict, to examine and recommend to
the State Convention any necessary
changes in the party plan of organi-
zation. Chairman Ellyson, who is
exsofficio member and chairman of
the committee, appointed them Mon
day: The following are from this
section; First District, Claggett B.
Jones; Eighth district, George s.
Shackelford. Mr.. Ellyson hopes to
have this committee meet before the
convention, and if not sooner it will
surely convene in Norfolk on May LIST,
the day before the convention.

Democratic State Convention.

The State Democratic Committee
met in Richmond Friday night, End
inst, and decided upon May End as
the date, and Norfolk as the place
for holding the next State conven-
ton OF the party, to elect delegates
to the Democratic National Conven-
ton.
The vote was 20 for Norfolk and 10
for Lynchburg.
The basis of representation is one
delegate for every 200 Democratic
votes, or fraction over 100. cast IN
Presidential election OF 1895. This
means a convention of about half the
usual size, the basis OF representation
having heretofore been one delegate
for every 100 Democratic votes.
The early date of the State Demo-
cratic convention is for the purpose
of declaring for or against the con-
stitutional convention question.
which is to be voted on May oath,
and the State committee has enpow-
cred the State convention to take the
subject up.

The Legislature of Virginia has adj
journed and the exciting scenes in
the last days of the Senate indicate
that many of the representatives of
that body would have been happier,
If their labors, as lawmakers, had
ended at an earlier day. The pro-
ceedings were very unique and so
far as is known, without a precedent
in the history of the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia-their effort to undo
the work of the preceding day and
failure toN,actomplish that object,
viz: to repeal an act to appoint com
missioners of valuation in the coun.
ties and cities in the State. whose
duties are given in the following from
the Richmond Dispatch:
The work of the commissioners is
to begin as soon as possible. Acting
under instructions from the Auditor
of Public Accounts. the commission
ers of the revenue have not assessed
property for this year. There will be
no conflict between the commission
ers of the revenue and the commits
sioners of valuation. The latter is
on the lookout solely for all moneys,
bonds, notes, or other evidences of
debt, and all stock and shares of
stock; all incomes in excess OF the ex-
emptions now allowed by law; all
capital invested, used, or employed in
any trade or business; all capital, in
Guiding moneys, credit or other thing
remaining invested, whether said
investment was originally made in
this or any other State or county,
loan ed, used or employed in business
in or out of this State; all capital of
any joint stock company not other
wise taxed; all money on deposit with
any bank or other corporation, firm,
or person.
The measure will not be popular
with many of the people of the State
but whether it is open to the OBJ
jections of being vicious, odious and
inquisitorial, "as it is claimed that it
will be by the Senators who made
an effort to have it repealed, remains
to be seen. Those opposing it will
make haste to have it declared un>
constitutional and thereby rid them
selves of it.

Resolutions, instructing Senators
Daniel and Martin to use their in
fuence in securing the election OF
United States Senators by the peo-
pie, passed both branches of our late
Legislature, and with only two dis
senting votes. Rejecting, as we pre-
sumo they did, the wishes of their
constituents in the matter, it is row
In order for our representatives,, we
submit, having placed themselves
upon record on the Senatorial ques~
ton, to use their influence to have
the Senators from Virginia elected by
the people at primary, if favorable
action cannot be secured throughout
the whole country on the question.
The sincerity of their declarations in
the matter will be proved in that way
and they will be more likely to con-
vince others that they are correct
in their views,if they avail themselves
of their opportunities to put into
practice what they profess.

The Constitutional Convention.

The constitutional convention bill,
which passed the Senate last week, in
the shape it provided the manner OF
voting, was trick, and one which,
like all tricks, cannot be defended
before the voters until the election,
The Senate bill as passed simply re
quire on the ticket, For CONSTITUTE
tional Convention. Let's see how
ones vote will be counted. Take
Dick Jones, a voter, who favors con-
stitutional convention-he will erase
nothing; but suppose Dick Jones lie
against a convention what will he do2
The natural conclusion of the average
voter would be to strike out For a
Constitutional Convention" No,
that won't do, for if Dick Jones
does that he will not vote at all; but
if Dick Jones wants to vote against a
convention he will first erase " For"
and write Against, so as to read,
Against a Constitutional Conyen-
ton"
We say this is an unfair scheme, as
Senators Wickham, Munford, and
others declared on the floor of the
Senate, and Democratic Legislature
could not endorse it. We are glad to
say Senator Massie voted against this
trick. Two years ago we had on tick
cts both For" and Against con-
vention when we voted on the con-
vention. Why could we not have
the same this time? No, a certain set
in Virginia propose to carry the con-
vention, whether fairly or unfairly
Amherst New Era.
The bill authorizing the voters to
call a constitutional convention, as 1t
passed the Virginia State Senate, is
another sample of the contemplate
work of the little politicians. IL pro-
vides that the tickets shall all be
printed For" the convention, and if
any voter wishes to vote against"
it he must scratch out the word For"
and write the word Against" on the
ballot.
This dodge of the little schemers
shows that they are afraid the whole
scheme will be turned down by the
people as it was few years ago, un-
less they can fool the voters by some
sort of political trickery.
When the politicians rule the peo-
pie mourn. And they ought to
mourn, because they are foolish
enough to trust such men to make
their laws.-Lynchburg News Herald.

One of the best measures intro
duced into our Legislature at the
session, which has just closed, the
bill for the care of epileptic patients,
failed to pass. The labors of its
patron, Senator LeCato, however, in
that direction have not been in vain.
1t was a step in the interest of hu-
manity which appeals too strongly
to the sympathy of everyone to be
forgotten and the good work started
for the betterment of the condition
of the epileptics of the State will be
continued either by the patron or
his successor until an institution for
the unfortunates is established. A
measure so generally approved by
the people of the State ought to have
passed this session.
