SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE %. 1901

MANY OF the northern republicans
and newspapers are giving themselves
much unnecessary concern about the
suffrage questions now before the Vir'
oinis constitutional convention. Some
are offering unssked advice. while
others are even threatening the state
with punishment II n constitution Is
framed which Ia not to their liking.
Now Virginia people know what they
want better than do outsiders and
many of her Statesmen have just as
good sense as her would-be northern
instructors. Her people are now 10
convention assembled and will frame
inst such q constitution as suits them,
without reference to the wishes OF
others and without caring rap
whether they like 1t or not lmpern'
nent interference in State affairs py
outsiders will not be tolerated and the
weather Is entirely too warm for sucn
people to get into passion about Vir'
ginia's affairs with which they can have
no concern. 1t is not their business.
