MR.. FLOODS BILL,

We have before us a bill that the
Hon. H. D. Flood has introduced in
the Senate for apportioning and elect.
ing members of the Constitutional
Convention. The bill provides for who
shall be eligible to vote and be candi-
dates, which is the usual provision
under the present laws Of the State, it
provides for 100 delegates, giving to
Augusta and Staunton two, Allegha-
ny. Bath and Highland one.
The words For Ratifying, ""Against
Ratifying," shall be on the ticket. The
election shall be held on the 4th Thurs
day in May, 1901, under the existing
election laws, and the convention shall
meet at the capitol in Richmond on
the 18th day Of June, 1901, at the hour
of - m.
The rules for assembling and deter
mining its membership are those of
the present General Assembly. AS
soon as the convention has certified to
the Governor the constitution agreed
on and adjourned sine die, the Cover
nor shall issue his proclamation and
publish the same in such newspapers
in the Commonwealth as may be
deemed sufficient and certify a copy
of the constitution to each county and
corporation court for examination by
any person interested.
If the convention finishes it's work
before the 9Th day of October, 1901, the
said constitution shall be submitted to
the voters of the State on the 5th day
of November, 1901, at the general cleo
ton to be held that day, if not the
General Assembly next setting shall
enact suitable measures for submitting
the same.
This is the general tenor of the bill,
and will likely be the course in gener-
al adopted, though there may be some
notifications. The bill is long of ne
cessity, but is carefully drawn and
presents the ideas which have seemed
to be uppermost and most acceptable
to the public generally.

Murder in Second Degree.

Murder in the second degree was the
verdict found by the jury in Paterson,

G. McAllister, VIM. A. Death and An

night of October Is drugged and as.

she died in the carriage in which they
brought her back to Paterson. The
extreme penalty which may be impos-
ed is penal servitude at hard labor, in

years. Immediately after the render
ing of the verdict, Judge Dixon re-
manGed the prisoners back to the Jail.

1T WOULD BE A MISTAKE.

1t has been limited that Mr.. A. j..
Montague, one of the candidates for
Governor, will take the stump. This,
while not exactly departure from all
precedent, is not in line with the Gus
tom heretofore prevailing in Virginia
among those seeking this office. A
candidate who goes upon the stump
caunot be content to praise the ad-
ministration which is passing away,
nor can he laud himself at all times
and places, be must criticise somebody
and some thing. We.would therefore
expect any candidate who took the
stump to expatiate on his own virtues
and other peoples vices. There would
of course be reply on the part of those
whose vices he portrayed, and in lit
tie while, no matter how innocent may
have have been his intentions when he
began, he would find the political pot
boiling over in less than no time. The
outcome of such action cannot be fore
seen. When one went upon the stump,
no matter how unwilling, another
might be forced on, then third, a
fourth and so on, until at every court
day and, indeed, at every cross road,
we would expect to hear the voice OF
the orator ''norating" on the brilliancy
of his own or his friends record, and
the blackness of his opponents. In
our opinion nothing would tend so
much to lower the dignity of the office
as this. AS one who feels very kindly
toward Mr.. Montague and who ad-
mires his previous course and his
genius, we hope he will not adopt this
method.

make the nomination by a general

is for that body to order general pri-

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
