Virginia citizen. (Irvington, Va.) 1891-1921, 1900-06-01

The CITIZEN, which for many
years has been advocatinga Constitu-
tional Convention, tenders cor graf
ulation to the Democrats throughout
the State, to those leaders who have
earnestly and laboriously Supported it
and made success possible, and to the
rank and file of the party who were
numerous enough to thwart the de-
sires of scheming politicians. This
paper is glad to know that Irvington,
Fleets Island and Wecms gave ma
iorities for the Convention.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONyENTIoN

Let us be sure that the right sort
OF Virginians are selected togo to
the convention, which has now been
called, for otherwise We may have a
worse Constitution than that now in
existence. Virglnians are capable of
making a better Constitution than
the Underwood production, but if
the capable and patriotic men are
Kept at home, and incompetent. self
seeking politicians sent to the con-
vention. we need not expect any i'm
proyement in the org anic law of this
State.-Richmond Times.

ENGLAND AND THE BOERS.
More About the Pig-Sticl<ing
Which the English are En-
gagged in.

VIII ich the English are En-
gagged in.
IL is rumored that General French
has entered Johannesburg.
General Louis Botha is at Pretoria
urging President Kruger to arrange
peace terms. President Stem oc-
cupies the house of the British resi-
dent at Pretoria.
The morning papers generally
regard the Boer organized resistance
as nearly at an end. Predictions are
made that the British flag will fly at
Johannesburg aud at Pretoria this
week.
Ii. j. Whigham, a correspondent
of the London Daily Nal, who
visited Pretoria in disguise, says the
Beers are demoralized and that many
of them are singing "God Save the
Queen"
The Duke of Cambridge, former
commander-in-chief of the British
forces, writes: 81 am an old man, and
so is Kruger. AS he is. so am Ian old
soldier. | have so many faults
myself, how can l Judge another"
The Beers are retiring rapidly
before the onward rush of the British.
The latter think that the enemy
will make only one more last heroic
stand. General Botha, with $4,000
Beers, aud General DE Wet, with
1000 more, are reported from British
sources TO be in front of Lord Roberts.
The British army opposing them in
the northern part of the Free State
is estimated at from 10000 to 10O,-
900 men.
Roberts Advancing.
Lord Roberts is now within DAVIS
march of Johannesburg, and Gen
eral French and General Ian Hamil-
ton fought the Beers from noon
until evening on Monday.
TIE decentralization of the Trans
vaaI is remarkable. Panic and con-
fusion prevail everywhere. Every
one is weary of the war, aud full of
fear as to the coming of the British.
Not much gold is likely to be
found IN the Treasury. The salaries
of the officials and judges have not
been paid, or have been paid only
in bank notes, which will be
worthless when Lord Roberts arrives.
The seat of government will be re-
moved to Waterfall, small station
on the Delagoa bay railway, and
from there, if necessarily to Lydenburg.
President Kruger speaks bitterly
of Lord Roberts unfair tactics i'm
refusing to meet the Beers in posi-
tions chosen by them, and eternally
turning them by flank movements.
Around johannesburg few
trenches have been dug, but no other
steps have been taken for defence.
The. railway line Is blocked with ref
ugees from the west and southwest,
who are packed like sardines in
trucks.
Movements of Beers.
While the main Boer army has
been compelled to retreat before the
immensely superior numbers of Lord
Roberts, parties of the burghers are
active M a number of directions. A
dispatch from Newcastle, Northern
Natal, says the Beers in that section
are every active" and have been rein
forced. Their front extends from
Laing's Mex to New Republic. The
force which retired from Mafeking
when the relief column arrived has
rallied well within the British border.
1t is reported that burghers have re-
occupied the town of Kuruman,
Bechuanaland. They have also oc-
cupied Hebron, so miles east of
kroonstad, in the Free State, where
they can threaten Lord Roberts line
of communi cations.

ACROSS THE SEAS.
CUBA.

CUBA.
Collector of Customs Bliss. OF
Havana, Cuba, since he took charge
of the department, has discharged
more than two hundred Cuban en-
ployees for fraud.
1t is alleged that Charles f. w.
Medley converted into cash 100000
worth of surcharged Cuban postage
stamps which had been ordered
destroyed.
PHILIPPINES.
The money wasted up-to-date in
the Philippine war would build the
Nlcaraguan canal and operate it for
years to come.-Orange Observer.
Surrender In Body.
Three officers and fifty-six men,
with forty-six rifles, surrendered un-
conditionally at Cuyapo Monday.
Three officers and forty six men, with
tifty-five rifles, surrendered uncondi-
tionally Tuesday at Tarlac. These
spontaneous surrenders are very en-
couraging.
General Corbin said that Gen eral
MacArthur's dispatch showed that
the situation in the Philippines is
improving. The present policy of
the army, he said, is to disarm and
not to Kill the Filipino insurgents,
and that object is being facilitated
by the action of the Filipino captains
In getting their men together and
snrrendering in a body. In such
cases the men get receipts for their
arms and ammunition. There is no
longer any organized resistance. he
says, and the only tronble comes from
bands or guerillas. The marauders
receive no mercy from the troops.

Our Alameda.

A remarkable record is that Of
the steamer Alameda, now en- route
here from Sydney. Much OF tho
credit for the steamers continued
good fortune for seventeen years is
accorded to her chief.sngineer, A
D. Little, who will take the position
OF chiei-engineer on the new steam
or Ventura, third OF tbs fine vessels
recently launched at Cramps yards
for the Oceanic Company. The Ala
media was built in 1888, and the trip
she made from New York to San
Francisco was record.breaker, aud
has never been surpassed, the time
between the ports being forty. FIVE
days. After reaching the coast the
Alameda made thirteen round trips
to Honolulu, when she was placed
on the Australia route. For the
thirteen years that she has run be-
tween San Francisco and Sydney
she has never been laid up for
repairs.

We believe it would have been
proper for Sheriff Andrews to have
taken steps to refute and disproYe
the charges Of dishonesty made
against him in the public press. 1t
is all nonsense for any official TO say
damn the Press" and keep silent.
The Press represents the public,
and the official who does not take
cognizance of grave ohargeH, like
those made against the Sheriff, in
the columns of the Republican and
The Tribune, is, in the mind OF the
public, guilty.

rim Andrews, the attorney, and his

Nobody has ever charged the two
young Republicans with knowing
anything, and the charter bill is be-
ing framed without their assistance
and will bscome law without their
help.

What Will Be the Issue ?

If fusion is to be effected III
Idaho this fall it will be curious to
note the articles Of agreement upon
which the allied forces unite to
make up the campaign issue.
Upon every issue except silver the
fusion factions are on directly oppo-
site sides. By Ihei. platform OF
1898 the silver republicans are ex-
papsionists. They stand with the
administration in defending aud
maintaining our rights acquired
by the treaty with SPain.
Wha, contention can be made
that the silver cause can be aided
by union Of silver forces The
monetary bill just passed estab-
fishes the gold standard. With this
law on the statute books il will be
impossible for any president 10
carry the nation to the silver stand
ard by executive action alone. The
senate is now SO strongly fortified
against free silver that no change
can possibly he made in that body
which could affect silver legisla-
ton during the coming presiden'
tial term. Even the election o.
Mr.. Bryan will not eudanger The
maintenance OF the gold standard
Under these circumstances it is al
most uncomfortable that the silve
issue should cut any serious hgur'
in the coming campaign.
Upon what issue then will tn
fusion in Idaho be made Their
is nothing left but frank coDfes
sion that the organization exist
solely to divide the spoils Of Office
Will the voters of Idaho stand 70
the organized greed that seeks
perpetuaie an officeholder trus,
Are principles to be sacrificed tina
salaries may be paid : With silve
eliminated from the campaign tn
fusion in Idaho has no other basi
than an organization to reward tn
faithful with the fat of the lane
The fusion forces must either al
cept this as their platform or els
take up the issues Of the nations
platform, when fusion will nea
the absorption of the elements in
the democratic party.

Bryan's free silver aud anti
expansion speeches made here in
the north west will fall on hard and
stony ground. The Pacific coast
has already begun to feel the quick
ening impulse of trade activity
given by the opening OF our trade
with China and the far east. Here
there is no desire TO check
the movement which promises IN
the next decade to create markets
for the products Of the country,
open its navigablc streams, build
its railroads, and develop its latent
resources. The west sees no terror
i'll the apparition OF imperialism.
Mr.. Bryan has long been a prophe,
of evil and experience has proven
him to be a false prophet. The
west is no longer pessimistic, II
looks forward to the future with
hope, and since hope and Mr.. Bryan
have long since parted company,
he will find his rhetoric unavailing
Curious crowds will gather to hear
him, bu be will find at the ballot
box that the west has given him
