The SCHOOL QUEsTIoN. "A telegram from

the way Of separating school funds and giving
the negro only the amount paid by them.
This feeling, 10 his opinion, is not near go
strong in the State ss 1t was Elk months ego.
DR.. Southall will in the near future ask for
authority for the introduction Of special in
dustrial training in the Normal Colored
School and possibly In some Of the high
schools OF that race. His idea Is that indus

negro in the South He does 70. think the
white people OF Virginia will ever consent to
@ division Of the school fund and force the
negro to depend for education only upon the
taxes paid by that race. This question,

As THE white people of the State had
the expense of educating the negroes

By their conquerors, and as he negroes
have suffered morally and physically
by that education, and as learning al

tutional convention should, for the good
of both races. if it shall keep up the

THURSDAY EVENING. MAR. %, 1901

If THE people OF Virginia were call
al mon to elect a Governor or mem
bers of the General Assembly. it would
bs deemed the height of folly for the
democrats, who compose large ma
iori,y Of the vote Of the State, to con-
sent to the election OF republicans, or
of any apostate democrats who had
helped to defeat the democracy and TO
inflict republican rule upon the country.
No body would expect 1t from them.
Yet the election OF members OF state
legislature Is small matter compared
with the Importance Of rightly constl-
tutipp the convention which is to frame
the organic law of the Commonwealth.
The work of this body. for good or FOR
evil. may last thirty years or more, as
did the work of the creatures who fas'
bioned the famous "Uhderwood Con-
stitution. The primary object OF calling
the convention was to impose such
limitations on the suffrage as woulh
rslieve US from the evils OF power
welded by q mass of ignorant and cor.
rupt negroes. But these renegades ana
apostates who abandoned us 10 1896
and 1900 declared by their acts that
becauss the base, corrupt and debaucn-
ed rule of Clsvlapdism has been DIS
csrded by the national democracy they
preferred to have anything. rather
than the rule of purified democracy
and were quite willing to ipf.ct on the
State the ascendsroy Of party that
had DISTINGUISHED the best voters OF the
South, and also inflicted on US negro
rule and carpet bag spoliation. 10
other words, to crafty their spites and
hates, they were willing to put US I'M
der the yoke Of negro party. Now
these are not the men who ought to be
trusted TO make constitution for the
State Of Virginia. What folly to have
the Clevlandites do the great work once
performed by ouch men as George Ma
son.

The Newport News Press has the
following to say of the recently orgaDiz-

this city:
"The State Council, Junior Order of

called State council OF National SYM

Is plaip. IL means that the State
body which was organized several
days ago in Alexandra has no standing
Ia Virginia under its present rsme.
Those who took part in the convention
and elected officers are followers OF the
national body and identified with them
are about one-eighth of the Juniors in
Virginia, including two councils in
Norfolk. These two councils. by the
way, are paying tax to the legitimate
State council fearing revocation OF their
charters. Attorney General Al. Nor
tague is the attorney for the State body
and it is probable that within the next
two weeks legal steps will be taken
which will forever keep quiet the &C.
called State body recently organized.
It is said that the Alexandria conver-
tion was held with the back doors Of
the hall open go that the participants
could slip out 10 the event any attempt
was made to serve injunction papers on
them by the Legitimate State body.
