SENATOR MORGAN DEFIEs ENGLAND
Talk OF War.

Senator Morgan in the Senate served
notice upon Great Britain that the I'nited
States would abrogate the Clayton
Bulwer treaty, war or no war, fight or
noRght Not only this. but Great Britain
would get no concession in return. And
finally Great Britain would have to take
what the United States laid down, ~ she
was in no condition 10 fight anybody.
Altogether il was great twisting of
the lions tail.
The text Of Mr. MOrgan's bellicOse ut
terances was the resolution which he has
introduced, declaring the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty abrogated. That treaty, AZ every
body knows. il n compact between the
United States and Great Britain. made
in 1850. whereby both countries agreed
To partnership in the enterprise OF
building the lsthmian canal. IL has al
ways been a thorn in the side OF the
Stated States, and Mr. Morgan would
extract it by force. Mr. Morgan talked
about the treaty for nearly two hours,
and then had not concluded his speech.
He charged that England was opposing
the construction Of the Nicaragua Canal
in order that there might be no dimi-
mutton Of the profits of the Suez water
way. He gave Great Britain warning,
however. that American patience was
becoming exhausted, and that the
Clayton-Bulwe treaty would he abrO-
gated. whether she was willing or not.
There il no possible way Of dealing
with that treaty" he said, except to
put il to death il il is not already dead.
We will make no compromise with Great
Britain upon that subject. We will
make no concession.

A Weather Prophets Fall.

MFR. Willis L. Moore, Chief OF the United
States Weather Bureau, is today sad
der and n wiser man than he was nj
0 80 p. NJ. on March Bird, when he ad-
dressed To Mr.. John JOY Edison, chairman
of the inauguralcommittee, thefollowine
communication, which promises to go
down in meteorological annals as one ol
the most famous ever penned by weather
prophet:
dear Sir: The weather tomorrow
(Monday), March 4th, will he the finest
ever experienced on the Inauguration ol
n President.
"rhe sky surely will be clear and the
temperature warm and balmy-a tit
meteorological climax to the magnificent
work done by yourself and your able as
sistants. Sincerely yours, Willis l.. Moore,
Chief United States Weather Bureau.
Mr.. Moore has had long and yaried
acquaintance with the weather and he
should have known better. But he did mt.
Familiarity breeds contempt, and he
evidently imagined that be had got the
weather so tame and submissive that he
could make it do AZ he pleased-like some
wild animal that has been trained to
obey the slightest command ofits keeper.
This is where Mr.. Moore was mistaken:
The weather is clearly still unbridlOd and
unbroken, and Monday, like a bucking
broncho. il sent its aspiring rider flying
through space, kicked up it's heels and
disported itself generally pretty much AZ
IL licensed March 18th IL always a day

WHERE'S THE DIFFERENCE?

The ADVICE of the party leaders at Nor
folk and the demands of the people
are separate and distinct matters. We
should pay serious attention 10 the latter
and if il conflicts with the former, as we
believe il does, the Norfolk suggestion
should go for naught. The representa-
tives at Norfolk were not authorized TO
bind the people upon the question OF sub
mission. even if their resolution could be
construed as binding The people had
not then declared in favor of cOnven-
tion. When they so declared, they EN-
braced in that declaration animpled OPP
position to any scheme or proposition
which would defeat a new constitution.
II theconventiOn believes that submission
TO the whole or any part OF the people
wOuld thwart the wishes of those who
called the convention into existence,
which one of the declarations at Norfolk
should be given the greatest welght-the
one which endorsed in unmistakable Ian
guage a revision of the Underwood Con
stitutiOn. or the advisory suggestion that
sueh revision be submitted 10 the vote OF
the people,
The people have not demanded that
the constitution shall come back TO them
for ratification. and the real friends OF
good government are not going 10 de
maDd il Hby such course the whole
work of the convention be put in ieop-
ardy.
We agree with our contemporary (IHE
FREE LANCE in desiring a "Constitu-
tional Constitution. but we do not
share it's apprehensiOns of interference on
the part of the Supreme Court because OF
the methods prescribed for it's adoption.

sitiOn. The Convention may be SUI
preme, and conclude not to submit
it's work to a vote, but they will do

II is our opinion that the people of Nir-

RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.

Senators Carter and Wellington
fought the exorbitant appropriations
in the River and HarbOr bill unceas-
inglv. The Fourth of March came
to their aid. the session closed and
the bill died without being voted
upon. For their actions these Sena-
tors are being roundly abused. 1t Is
a question. though, if the result OF
their work will not be for the good
of the people at large. The Kappa
hammock. like many another river,
will lose its pittance, but is it not
better that this should be so than
that the exorbitant demands OF less
important streams should be grant
ed? For every dollar of such appro-
priations the people OF the South
have returned them they pay proba-
bly, ten dollars to nameless and In
significant creeks and waterways III
the North and West. A certain river
in Maine, not as large as the Kappa
hammock. was to have gotten $3.50
600 under the bill. That's the differ
ence between Virginia and Maine in
the estimation OF Congress. We will
suffer. but if it will teach the country
a lesson, and lessen extravaganza APP
preparations. it may be well worth
the sacrifice.

Beware Of Greeks Bringing Advice
Norfolk Landmark

Representative William 4. Jones, of the
First District. as quoted in our Richmond
correspondence secs no need for radical
changes" in Nirginia's suffrage prOyis-
ions. Az this gentleman opposed the
calling of n Constitutional Convention,
we suppose he 'secs no need for radical
changes" in the Fundamental law.
The people of Virginia and Of every
other Southern State have been for
thirty years earnestly complaining ofthe
niquity OF negro suffrage. Intelligent
men in the North now admit that great
wrong was perpetrated in fastening this
incubus upon the South.
What impression, we wonder, is made
In the North by the utterances of South
ern Democrats who see NO need for rad
zeal changes in the franchise? Outsiders
must think either that we prefer
TO continue under election laws
which make the ballot farce, OF that
we are satisfied To have our voting priv
ileges shared by the ignorant and pur-
chasable element against whose enor-
nous influence at the polls we have been
protesting 50 long aud so yehemently.
A little thought over this matter sug-
gests n searching question, which is this:
are not a great many white ofiice-holders
in the State Of Virginia secretly glad that
the ballot was conferred upon the negro.
and would they not be very sorry to see
Congress repeal the amendments by
which the gift il made2
Examine the record of every Democrat
who makes light Of the need for suffrage
reform. In nearly every case, you will
find that he fought against n COnstitu-
tional Convention until the State Demo-
cratic Convention approved the move
ment last May. Scratch the man who
opposes effective qualification Of the suf-
frage and you find man who has OPP
posed n Constitutional Convention. Re
member this test, and apply it on occa-
sion. IL will serve you well.
Let all good Virginians take care that
the men for whom they vote az delegates
to the Constitutional Convention shall
be men who do zee need for radical
changes in the suffrage laws of the State.

INAUGURATION OBSERVATIONS.

A witticism dropped by a Freder-
icksburger at the depot here, when
many were leaving to attend the in
auguration at Washington, i'm
pressed the bystanders. He declined
to Join the crowds that were fiocking
to the "niggeration AS he put it.
Under ordinary circumstances this
would seem a very appropriate APP
pellation for a Republican Inaugural
ton, certainly from Southerner's
point of view. The inference did not
hold good, however. For, remark
able to say, the proportion OF col
ored visitors upon the occasion was
far smaller than had been known since
the war-so remarked several regular
attendants upon these occasions, and
the scarcity of colored faces was no.
ticeable to any observer. Could it
have been because there has been so
little recognition OF the negro by the
Mckinley administration?
The New Century Inauguration will
become memorable in one respect at
least, and that a not very cOmpli-
mentary one. Falling upon Monday
as it did, both Houses of Congress
held continuous sessions from Satur-
day evening until Monday noon, not
resting for the Sabbath. The city OF
Washington, too, was thrown "wide
open" to the assembled thousands
theatres, saloons and shops were
running at full blast, and there was
no surcease during day or night OF
Sunday. This, we think, marks a
new order OF things for Christian
America just upon the threshold OF a
new century. Wemay appropriately
ask "What will the end be?" None
of us now here will know. The an.
swer is to be revealed tocoming gen
erations.
