WAS A STATE LNEMY.
The Man Who Took MIR. Writers Grip Had
Malice

1t was an enemy indeed who robbed
Senator Withers, 'the father of the con-
vention,'' of that gripload of statistics
Judge Robertson once in a speech in the
convention declared that he believed Mr..
Withers had eaten, drunk and slept on
statistics until he had become SO satu-
rated with them they oozed out OF every
pore of hrs anatomy, as we'll as poured
out Of his mouth.
Judge Hancock has stated that he had
suffered with a "crick'' in the neck from
lodging Withers' figures, while Hon. Eppa
Hunton, Jr., had been heard to complain
more than once Of sporadic attacks Of
diaphramous paresis following an injec-
ton of these statistics in his judiciary
committee.
The man who robbed this grip was an
enemy to the State. The statistics
have been honestly and valiantly used
as a weapon of offense and defense, but
always for the good of the Common
wealth. What the thunderbolt was to
Jove, the spear to Ithurie!, the jaw
bone to Sampson, the javelin to Sail.
thestone to David, the horns to Joshua,
the scissors tosDelilah, the loop to Sch!ey.
the pipe to Pan. the axe to Ajax the
interrogaties to Wysor, the contents Of
that grip have been to Withers.
The surplus in the State treasury could
not be reduced in a better cause than in
paying a large reward for the recovery
of this formidable weapon of the States

The movement, it is asserted, had long
been premeditated, and is recorded with

cred a terrible blow against President
Castro. who. Immediately. upon learning
of the uprising, dispatched troops from

CHICAGO, Dec. Pin n speech to-
night before the Bankers Club Charles
81 Schwab. president OF the United States
Steel Corporation Company, declared the
trust is dead proposition, built on "a
trinity that would wreck anything-tfc
restriction of trade, the increase of prices
and the throttling OF competition.
In distinction from the trust, h. &c
clared that consolidation had for its guild
Ing principles the reverse Of this trinity
that instead OF restricting it expanded
trade by creating new avenues and re-
ducing the prices Of commodities pro-
duced. For particulars he discussed the
United States Steel Corporation, pleading
that it was with this consolidation that
nc was most familiar.
HE WANTS PUBLICITY.
Mr.. schwab gave an account or the
formation and workings Of the United
States Steel Corporation, and then said ::
Il am heartily in sympathy with Presi-
dent Roosevelt when he says that all
the great combinations should be given

.urred to me this evening: Many people
think that the bonds of the United

80 think, you will find that the first
great mortgage is that which is owed TO
labor. The Ci.ited States Steel Corpora
lion pays to labor approximately $4,000,

WAR TINE Law
IS RECALLED.
If Not Constitutional it Might In
terfere With Convention
IA
Work.


When the question OF negro education
was under discussion in the convention
or Thursday, President Goode asked a
question which brought half a dozen
members to thei feet. DR.. McIlwaine, the
distinguished chairman Of the Committee
on Education, was asked by the President
whether he had considered the terms and
conditions upon which Virginia was re-
admitted to the Union after the Civil War,
and called attention to the fact that the
express condition upon which Virginia
was allowed to be again represented in
Congress was that the school rights and
privileges Of the negro race should not
be taken away from them. The following
is an extract of the act of Congress,
which is now generally admitted to have
been unconstitutional:
'The State of Virginia IS admitted to
representation in Congress as one OF tie
States OF the Union upon the FOLLOWING
conditions: First. That the Constitution
of Virginia shall never be SO amended
or changed as to deprive any citizen, or
class of citizens, of the United States OF
the right to vote, who are entitled TO
vote by the constitution herein recoS-
nized, except as Il punishment for sucn
crimes as are now felonies at common
law, whereof they shall have been duly
convicted under laws equally applicable
to all the mia bitants of said Sta,e; pro-
NlAcu LllStL itlly eillCIdliOlL VI SaiSl -SS''
stitution, prospective in its effects, may
be made in regard to the time and place
of residence of voters. Second. That IL
SHALL never be lawful for the said State
to deprive any citizen of. the United
States, on account of his race, color or
previous condition of seryitude, OF the
right to hold Office under the Constl-
tuition and laws of said state, or upon
any such ground to require of him any
other qualifications for Office tran such
as are required of other citizens.
Third, That the Constitution of Virginia
shall never be so amended or changed as
to deprive any citizen or class Of citizens
OF the United States of school rights and
privileges secured by the Constitution of
said State
If this act were binding, the convention
would be powerless, rot only to curtatl
negro education, but negro suffrage. even
BY a property or educational nuaililca-
ton applying to whites and blacks alike.
and indeed, even goes further and says
the negro shall never be deprived of hold
ing Office.
