dwindling towards the end of the

AN EFFORT will be made to have
Congress abolish the war revenue
stamp-tax. Unless this effort is sue
cessful there can be no hope that the
people will be relieved of this burden
for at least four years, and, it NAV
be, for a generation to come. 1t is
known that there is large
surplus which has accumulated
from this tax, and the money
is not needed, SO it is thought
the President favors the immediate
abolition of the tax for political
reasons, this being a Presidential
year. The United States Supreme
Court has decided that the express
companies may shift the war tax on
the shippers. making their customers
pay for the stamps on receipts, just
as they do now on kilograms.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The result of the election of dele
gates throug bout the State on Mon
day make it certain that majority
of the delegates in the Norfolk con-
vention will favor a constitutional
nvention.
Many of the Democratic leaders of
the State are opposed to the proposed
plan for Constitutional Convention
among them being Governor TYLER
and Congressman Jones. Governor
Tyler, while in favor of revising the
Constitution is opposed to conven-
ton for that purpose. His plan is
to appoint 10 men to draft the pro-
posed changes, and then call a special
session of the Legislature to make
any change desired, and then approve
the committees work. This plan.
in the Governors opinion, would
save time and money. 1t is thought
that the opposition to the Conven-
ton will unite on the Governors
plan.
Communicated
EDITOR VA. CITIzEN:-It seems
to me there ought to be but one
opinion as to the Constitutional
Convention. For thirty years the
people OF Virginia have been abusing
the Underwood Constitution. and
Justly so-for it was conceived in sin
and born in iniquity, and as the
creature can not be greater than it's
creator, how could it have been
otherwise? A large majority of it's
trainers were "carpet-baggers" and
"scallawags."
Many OF us remember the dark
days of reconstruction-from the 9th
day OF April, 1865, to January Goth.
1S70-when we were under military
rule; when federal soldiers were pa
trolling the streets of our cities. as
well as the rural d istricts; when a
sheriff Zone Charles) was sent to this
county by the military governor to
worry and annoy our people; when
also commonweal th-attorney was
sent by the same governor to prose
cute, prosecute, abuse and villify our
people, and as anxious as we were to
get back into the Union in order
that we might get rid of all these
impurities, we could not swallow
the Underwood constitution. AS
well as my recollection serves me.
thirty of the foremost men of Vlr-
GINA, to the manor horn, called upon
Gen. Grant, then President of the
United States, and influenced him
to agree that two of the most obiec-
tonable features would be voted
upon separately. 1t was then that
the vote was taken, the constitution
adopted, and the two worst features
eliminated.
Now that we have an opportunity
to get rid of the entire work of these
parasites, let us have the courage of
our convictions and measure nm TO
our duty. Some persons seem to re-
gard the colored vote as the whole
constitutional question. So far as /
am concerned would not deprive
any sane man of the right to vote
unless he had been convicted of
crime or failed to pay his capitation
tax-and will say that the failure
to pay taxes is not confined to the
colored man, because l know num-
Der of able-bodied white men in Lam
caster that do not contribute one
cent to the support of the govern
ment that protects them in their
rights.
l voted for the convention four
years ago and should it be my pleas
ure to attend the Norfolk Conven-
tion shall certainly vote to make
it party issue.

THE Republican Congress has
again decided to accede to the de-
mands of the people for the building
of the Nicaragua canal, and has
agreed to pass the bill. But the ma
tute of the bill has been changed.
To satisfy the President and Secre-
tary Hay Congress has decided to
drop the word "fortify." 1t is
claimed by some of the leaders that
the change of verbiage does not pre-
vent our control Of the canal in time
OF peace or war, while many of the
members say it does and that Eng.
land and the other powers will hold
us to the wording of the agreement
whenever it is to their interests so to
do. The people of this country are
anxious for the canal to be built. but
they are equally as DESTROYS that there
shall be no compromising clauses to
handicap this government when crit
