The Dover Baptist Association.

The divorce question occupied an in
teresting pla"a in the proceedings OF the
Baptist Association in Richmond We'd
nesday. Rev. Joel r. Tucker offered n
resolution urging every member to use
his influence against ministers officiating
Mt marriages where one or both of the
contracting parties are unscripturally
divorced.
The association adopted resolution
hedging itself to raise a large sum to-
ward paying for the main building OF the
orphanaee at Salem.
The report of the Home Mission Society
showed that during the pastcOnyentional
wear 81 missionaries have been employ
ed there have been 6,G7l baptisms and
7.229 members have been received by

The liquor question was disposed OF by
the adoption OF the report of the special
committee. This provides for n com
mittee to continue to urge the churches
that have liquor dealers among their
members to get rid OF them, and, while
reaflirming the positiolo association
against the liquor rattle, rescinds the res

POLITICAL

The James City county delegates are
instructed for Montague, Willard and
Ieffries
The proposed investigation of the ex-
penditure of the contingent fund Is re-
garded as liable to iniure the Democratic
party.
A Washington correspondent says that
it il not the policy of the men who made
the Democratic national platforms IN
SgG and 1900 To force free silver into
the state platforms this year, nor TO
renew the fight on that issue in the near
future.
At last an effort is to be made To test
the famous Grandfather Clause incor-
pOrated in some of the southern state
constitutions. which allOwsa man to vote
because he is the son Of his father. The
colored men of the country propose TO
see il the thing be legally removed.
We believe they will succeed. II there ~
any one thing the Supreme Court OF this
country is expected to knock out 1t Is
class egislatiOn-and that's just what
this Grandfather Clause is.-LOudoun

The suggestion that Attorney-General
Montague may run against Senator
Martin when his election comes up again
attracts a good deal of interest. There
has been much quiet talk of Montague
for the Senate all through the campaign
and there is little doubt that he will as
pire to that office at the expiration ofhls
term as Governor unless there il some
decided change in the course OF political
events in the meantime. If the primary
plan of nomination is adopted he almost
certainly will fight between Monta-
gue and Martin for the SenatOrship
would be very interesting. Both have
many elements of strength and are able
fighters. Mr.. Montague was strongly
urged as a candidate after the May con
ference but finally declined. The friends
of Mr.. Martin point 10 his fine record IN
the Senate AZ an argument for his con
tinuance there and they think he will he
hard TO beat
The strong sentiment setting toward
IeCatO in all parts of the State shows
how the people look upon what has been
hintod by many n MOntague-Willard com
bination, or in other words Willard had
put up for Montague and Montague's
influence would be thrown to vii
lard in the Norfolk convention. We
do not believe anything OF the sort is
possible MACE of results that have just
been made manifest it would be folly,
and the erection of IA sacriticial altrr for
somebody were the conqueror OF one
combine to Immediately become the hero
in another before the political crumbs are
so much as dropped. We cannot give
credit to any such argument. We be
lieve that Mr. Montague will take his
nomination like a man, and in honor of
those who will have nominated him,
he will do the graceful thing and bow
out. Certainly he will not try to met"
the convention for or against any man
or any section. Because he is n young
man yet and could not well afford to
ieopardize his growing prospects. This
| being true. we believe the level-headed
men in the convention will heed Acco-
macs call and go for LeCatO and fair
play.-AccOmac News.

THE SAME OLD GAME.
nnnvilla Ere Press !

Everything that can be said about the
secret ballot as the refuge for trimmers
and towards and liars applies equally to
viva voce voting. Cannot a man lie with
the living voice az well as with a pencil
stroke? Does the mouth always speak
from the heart? Under coercion, intim-
idation, or simple cowardice that has
not been played upon, a man by word oil
mouth, can vote against his honest senti-
ments and actually shield himself from
contempt by a pretence of boldness and
Independence.

FIELDS FOR MILITARY IN
STRUCTION.

NoStatcin the Union hasa stronger
claim to or can offer greater advan-
tagcs for one ofthe four great military
maneuvering camps than Virginia
can. and no spot in Virginia is com
parable to Spotsylvania county. Its
whole territory, or most OF II. Is the
Gene of master maneuvers OF large
armies and divisions OF those armies.
and four of the great battles OF the
Civil war. besides many smaller en-
gagemcnts. were fought in its terri
tory. No spot of territory ON the
globe can equal Spotsylvania county
i'm this respect. The fredericksburg
battlefield may not he rs well
adapted TO military maneuver as
some other battletcldS, but those
of Charlottesville. Wilderness and
Spotsvlvania Court House cannot be
equallcd 10y any other fields fought
over bv the eastern armies. and the
area covered ycach one is sufficiently
large for the most extensive mancu-
vering. Besides these advantagcS the
lines OF battle are distinctly marked
and the earthwOrks are still in an
excellent state of preservation. And
if necessary for the purposes OF "a
military memorial park, camp OF III
structiOn. as has been recommended
10y the Secretary of War, and OF an
extensive field for military maneuver-
ing. these three great battlefieldS
could be- throw a into one grand field
or park. which would amply meet the
requirements of the three enterprises
combined.
We would call the specialization
of our two United States Senators
and the Virginia congressman tothis
great enterprise and suggest that 1t
is worthy of their united efforts. The
advantages of these fields for these
purposes cannot be Over-eStimated
for the military student and military
commander. Ii has been said by "A
Skilful Union General that "A three
months study of these fields, where
great military leaders were opposing
each other in deadly conflict, would
be worth more to the military student
than "a whole session at the West
Point Military Academy. This asser-
ton. while it may appear somewhat
extravaganza. has been warmly Ell
dorsed 10y military men OF reputation
who have visited the fields.
Virginia should not be overlooked
i'm these matters. in respect to the
late Civil war she occupies a unique
position. The war, save the bonn
bardment OF Sumter. commenced and
virtually ended on Virginia soil, and
every engagement of the two great
eastern armies, except Sharpsbure
and Gettysburg, were fought on Nir-
ginia soil. and her claims should not
be- overlooked or ignored

IT STRIKES us that the Convention
would 90 "a little out of its way il 1t
should decide to fix salaries for the
various State offices. 1t is within Its
prov ince to create or abolish offices,
but THE FREE LANCE agrees with the
Richmond News in saying that the
matter of salaries should be left to the
legislature Wesay this, at the same
time feeling that the Legislature is
often inhuen ed to a great extent IN
the matter Of salaries, and We would
prefer seeing them fixed by some other
body. But the question arises
should they always stay fixed? Con
ditions in the future may call for a
change in the salary paid any official
and then the Legislature would be
powerless to act. We approve OF the
suggestions of reduc 'ng some OF the
salaries mentioned and OF abOlishing
some of the offices, and when we fee
that these things will hardly be done
bv the Legislative body it is a great
temptation to say that the Conven'
tiOn should take the matter in hand
Yetitwould hardly be right Orproper
We would, however, Ike to see the
Convention fix the salary OF members
OF the Legislature paying them better
than 81 a day and the Senator d
little more than the Delegate. Mem
beers of the Legislature do not get
proper remuneration. Because Ofthis
it is said that often some worthy ano
able men are kept out of the Legisla
ture. Small salaries in this branch
are too conducive to filing the body
with rich men, political aspirants anc
moor men who will suffer under the
ban of being bribe-takers. The sub
iect has been brought up time anC
again in the Legislature, but the
members were afraid to act. and invite
criticism by increasing the salaries
of themselves or their successors
Hence, we say, we might overlook
the lack of prerogative should thu
Convention take this subject up fOl
settlement.
