As the time is near at hand for us to
elect delegates to the Constitutional
Convention il recalls to mind the con-
vention Of 1851. which was represented
by as able body Of men as was ever
assembled in any State Of our union. Ii
was a long time before we could tell
whether Richmond. Alexandria or Eau
quier had the ablest delegation. Alex
andria district was represented BY R.O.
l.. Moncure, Of Stafford. Benouie +.
Harrison, of Prince William, and
Edgar Snowden, of Alexandria. Eau
quier district by Robt E. Scott. the
great man Of Eastern Virginia. Samuel
Chiffon and James French Strother, OF
Rsppahannook. Richmond district by
John Minor B IT'S, James Lyons. Robt
@. Scott, Jno. A Meredith, Il O. Stan
ard aud - Davis IL was finally decided
that Richmond had the largest and
perhaps the ablest delegation. We ore
now upon the close of century and l
want 10 see how our next convention
compares with that of 1851.
On Monday last we had the largest
crowd assembled here l ever saw on the
day before Xmas. The streets were
almost impossible from the Virginia
Hotel to the Waverly, near the depot,

aud feed store, where will be found
baled hay, corn, oats, clover and tim
o,hy seed. plaster. ground and lump

From The Portland OFegonian (Rep.
The proposed shipping subsidy is
primarily q benefaction to the builder
and owner Of ships Oh. yes, say its
advocates, but indirectly the whole
people are the gamers, because from
increased facilities Of transportation
we shall have cheaper rates Of carriage
for our products and consequently bet.
ter prices for wheat, and in the pros-
psEity Of the farmer oil classes will ulti-
mately be benefited. II this principle
is correct why not extend It TO other
departments Of Industry Take the
business Of wheat growing. Let sum
be withdrawn from taxation and ap-
piled to the payment Of subsidies 10
every person raising and marketing 100
Bushels Of wheat In this way the farm
or will be benefited, and In his in-
creased prosperity ell will indirectly
share. Iron production is In en- impor-
tant sense the basis Of all manufaotur.
ing industries. Let, then. Congress
appropriate annually out Of the Fed
eral Treasury $40. 900. 900 to be given 10
the producers Of pig iron. II ought 70
be clear that II the subsidy principle
be once admitted as rule OF action
there is no point where its extension
may logically be stopped.

Making Fun Of It.

The Nashville papers have been hav
ing no little fun at the expense of the
officers who let the train rObber,
Parker, slip from their grasp few
days ago and out-run them with an
ice wagon. The News says the bandit
took undue advantage of the officers by
getting into fast vehicle as an ice
wagon that he should have shown a
spirit of fairness. and used hearse.
The News says further that now that
Parker has left the safety of the city,
where bandits and criminals may stay
without fear, he will probably be
/ caught by one of the county sheriffs
or constabulary. The local wag is also
getting in his say, and this is a sample

We had failed to note it before. but
we learn from the Commoner that
a Chicago society, composed of women,
have decided TO open winter refuge
for sick and homeless cats. A large
barn will be rented, fitted with steam
heating apparatus and placed IN charge
of attendants who will see to it that
the feline inmates are properly cared
for during the winter This will cost
several thousand dollars. and while il
does credit to the humane instincts of
the women. il does poor credit to the
their Judgment More humans than
eats will suffer from cold ana hunger
in Chicago this winter. While human
beings are starving and freezing to
death il is poor time To waste thous-
ands Of dollars in providing a comfort
able home for stray eats
