Governor Smith of Maryland has
issued a proclamation calling the
Legislature of that State in special
session on the 9Th of March and &C.
companies it with statement giving
the reason for his action and the
necessity which justified it. The call
is made, he says, in response to the
wishes of the great majority of the
people of the State and because of
evils that exist in the State that need
to be corrected, especially in regard
to the census, ballot and sewerage
The Legislature is convened though,
doubtless, principally for the pur-
pose of considering the election laws
and remedying the evils incident to
them and no other reason need have
been given. 1t is not only his privi-
lege but his duty to have extra SEES
sioDs as often as he wants them, IN
til the registration laws Of the State
are amended, which permits the ig-
norant and vicious of other States to
be qualified on such short notice as
voters, as those of Maryland do, and
thereby defeat the will of the people
of the State, until laws are passed
which will prevent voters from put
ting themselves up to the highest
bidders as they do in our Sister
State.

General FitZhugh Lee is now q
brigadier- general in the regular army
and will soon, it is stated, be placed
on the retired list with three fOurths
of the pay of his rank. That he is
justly entitled to such recognition by
by the Government no one will Ques-
ton, who is at all posted as to the
brilliant record made by him as Con
sul-General at Havana, and the etfi-
Gent services which he has rendered
his country since, if they would give
to him the reward which he has so
Justly earned. Every Virginian, at
least, will agree that he deserves the
promotion he has received and will
be gratified, that one who has served
his State so we'll in the past, is placed
beyond the reach of want in the
evening of his life by the pay Incl
dent to it.

SENATOR DANIELS POSITION.
In Regard to Work Of The Coming Con
stitutiOnal Convention.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 12.-lt was
largely due to the influence exerted
bv Senator Daniel at the Norfolk
Convention that that body commit.
ted the Democratic party to a call
for the Constitutional Convention.
Had the senior Senator not thrown
the weight of his influence and made
such a strong speech there in favor
OF the convention it is quite certain
that the proposition would have been
defeated at the polls. Major Daniel
has taken such a prominent part in
assembling the body which is expect
ed to make such important changes
in the organic law of the State that
interest is felt all over Virginia as to
that gentleman's views concerning
amendments to be adopted.
Senator Daniel has refrained from
giving any public expression OF his
views on these subjects He thinks
the people should instruct their dele
gates without any attempts from
others to influence them in the
co lrse they will follow.
1t is we'll known that Senator Dan
iel favors the military provision OF
the suffrage section of the new Con-
stitution. He believes that the ex-
emption from an educational qualih
cation of all veterans OF former wars
and their lineal descendants is prop
or and will be held to be valid. 1t is
quite probable that the Senator him
self, who, it is admitted on all sides,
will be in that body, may offer this
provision in the convention. That
il will pass the Federal Supreme
Court is thought to be quite certain.
The precedent relied upon to sup
port this belief is similar law which
was enacted by England many years
ago. under which sailors and Il GER
tain prescribed race we're offered the
right of franchise upon the condition
they entered the army or navy. Dur
ing the war between the States some
of the w estern States enacted sini'
lar law and offered as a condition
that the disqualified voters should
enter the Federal Army.
Friends of Senator Daniel fee
quite sure that he is inclined to favor
judiciary reform. Just how this
is to be accomplished they do not
think he is prepared to commit him.
self. 1t is probable he is disposed to
favor abolishing the County and
Circuit Courts and creating in their
stead district courts, possibly some
what similar to the North Carolina
system. Whether these judges shall
be elected by the people is an unset
tied observation-disclosures Sun.

tionment of 100 members, with 20

vention itself.

composed of Glass (chairman), Sands
and Keezel, on the part of the Sen

folk, and Kelly, on the part OF the

As "you can't fool all of the people
all of the time" it is at least reason
able to hope that the influence which
prevented the people from having a
primary for the nomination OF State
officers this year will not always hold
sway in Virginia, and that the peo-
pie will some day arise in their
majesty and become in fact the SOW
ereigns which they are as yet only
in theory. When that day rolls
around-when the people have be-
come aroused to the point Of strip
ping off the wool which they have
permitted to be pulled over their
eyes for so long-it can be said that
we have true democratic govern
ment; a government by the people
and not by few of the people.-Nor-
folk Ledger.

Pneumonia Can be Prevented.

This disease always results from a
cold or an attack of the grip and may
be prevented by the timely use Of
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. That
remedy was extensively used during
the epidemics of La Grippe of the
past few years, and not single case
has ever been reported that did not
recover or that resulted in pneu-
monia which shows it to be a certain
preventative of that dangerous dis
ease. Cbamberlain's Cough Remedy
has gained a world wide reputation
for it's cures of colds and grip. For

SEED OYSTERS.
Bill For Their Protection Passed BY
Legislature.

Richmond, Va, 13.-The bill of the
State Board of Fisheries for the pro
lection of seed oysters in James river
and the ocean side of Accomac and
Northampton counties provoked a
lively discussion in the House. The
measure passed, but not until Mr..
Pitcher, OF Fauquier, and others had
maue vigorous speeches against it
Mr.. Pitcher said he stood on the floor
to champion the rights of the tong
men. Continuing, he said that the
only reason great many tidewater
people were not in Major Holmes
penitentiary shoe shop was that they
could not be tracked in water. The
Senate passed tue same bill without
opposition.

A newspaper is an educator; there are all
kinds of educators, but the man who spends
money judiciousy and literally is better able
to impart his knowledge than the man who
has little or nothing TO spend.
The SUN is the highest type Of news
paper.
The SUNS Special Correspondents through
out the United States. as well as in Europe,
South Africa, China. and, in fact all over the
world, make it an up-to- date newspaper.
The Market Reports and commercial fea-
lures put the farmer, the merchant and the
the broker in close touch with the markets at
baltimore, Norfolk. Charleston, New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia and other places which
are prominent centers.
From now on the news of the world promis-
es to be more interesting than ever before and
national and political questions will arise,
making probably the most eventful period in
the country's history.
