Public and Economt.

In discussing the talk about oppo-
sition in Office holding quarters to a
retrenchment policy on the part of
the institutional convention, the
Charlottesville Progress says that
for every Office holder whom the
members of the convention will meet
on their return home, they will prob
ably encounter fifty or a hundred
private citizens; and our contempo-
rary Is of the opinion that the
majority in favor OF cutting down
State expenses is in equal or greater
ratio. The Progress also believes
that the demand for retrenchment
among the people is as1etermined
as is the demand of theOffice-holder
to the contrary.
And in an article along the same
lines the Norfolk Landmark SAYS
that tue Retrenchmeut Committee
will not be relished by those who will
be affected by it, but the public will
view it with satisfaction, as they are
convinced that many economies can
be affected in the administration of
public affairs.
We nave no means of knowing to
what extent office holder opposition
to retrencbment obtains. We would
fain hoIe thatlit amounts to 10 more
than individual, and what It must be
admitted is somewhat natural.

An Educational Qualification.

The census figures of 1900 present
some interesting facts bearing upon
the question of an educational quail
ification for voting. Last Saturdays
Richmond News published tabu-
lated statement a study of which
clearly shows that some ether means
must be adopted if the negro vote is
eliminated. An educational quail
ification would disfranchise only n
little over One half of The colored
vote, and presuming that we had an
educational qualification it would
not be two years until the entire
negro vote, or very large majority
of 1t at least, would be voting again
the same as before.
Here are few figures In Virginia
there are 301.379 whites over q
years ofage. or this number sc
493 are unable to read and write. or
nearly 9 percent. There are Jag.
l22 colored voters, and 1864 IL
hterate, or a little over 80 per
cent. Only about one half the
negroe vote would be reached by an
educational qualification. There
would be a gain to the Democratic
voting majority. on the present basis
of about 10000 votes. Without tho
disfranchisement of a white vote the
Democrats would have about go 600
majority. Any qualification which
DISTINGUISHES over thirty-six thous-
and white men in Virginia, and
reaches only about half the negroes
is not likely to pass. Tie conyen
ton is pledged to get rid of the
negro vote, half it, and some other
means must notbe suggested. A prop |
erty qualification added tc this woul6 1
sweep thousands more. both black /
and white.
lazewell County has 954 negro .
voters. OF this number GOO are
iiterate. Thus only 354, lirtle over
half, would be disfranchised by an
educational qualification. There are
soZO white voters, with 943 illiterates
VINO would be DISTINGUISHED. An
qualification would
reach nearly one third as many
whites AZ blacks. Buchanan and
dreen counties show the largest
per cent of whites, over II years Of
