CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION,

The Convention is now getting
down to work, more having been &C.
complished in the last six DAYS than
during the previous six months. Ar
effort is being made to reduce State
taxes and increase the income from
the sale of whiskey.
One of the most important of the
tasks of the Constitutional Conyeu-
ton seems to be completed, virtually
Sweeping changes in the judiciary
system of the State have been
agreed upon. The spirit of prog
ress has triumphed in the abolition
OF the county court system while
wise conservatism has retained the
election of judges in the legislature.
- Richmond Meas.
The Convention adopted the or
dinance providing for the judiciary
system and it was referred to the
committee on final revision. The
article adopted provides for single
system of courts between the magis-
trates' bench and the Supreme
Court. The present old county
court system, which has been in
operation In some form for more
than century, is abolished. In
its place are to be circuit courts,
which are to hold bi-monthly terms
In each county. There are many
other changes, but these are the
most radical.

Maryland and Our Oystermen.

The Maryland legislature has
before it joint resolution, provid
ing for the appointment of JOINT
committee of the House and Senate
to cooperate with a similar commit
tee, which the Legislature of Vir-
ginia has been requested to appoint.
The resolution grows out of alleged
depredations of Virginia oystermen
aud fishermen in Maryland waters,
about which there has been much
complaint.
The resolution provides for a COM
mittee to investigate the complaints
OF trespassers and irregularities al
legged to be committed in the waters
of Maryland by the citizens of Vir-
ginia, and the remedy for such, if
found to exist; to investigate and re-
port upon any notifications or
changes that may be desirable in the
boundary line between the two States,
and upon any joint legislation that
may be necessary or proper in the
Potomac river for preservation of
oysters, or to increase or preserve the
supply of food and other fish in the
Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries.

No Spring Elections i'm Counties.

The adoption of the amendment
to the Constitution abolishing the
spring election of county officials
will have the effect of curtailinp the
terms of those officials if the new
Constitution Is not adopted. Officials
elected at the election last spring
will go ont of office next fall, accord.
ing to the belief of many, though
there are some who think that the
terms will be extended until the fall
of next year. It is question
whether the terms will expire the
fall before or the fall afterwards.
Some of the terms are for two and
some for four years.
The amendment to the Constitu-
ton will not affect the elections in
cities. But there will be no more
spring elections in the counties,
whether the new Constitution is
adopted or rejected, for the conyen-
ton proposes to do away with the
two elections in one year. The
amendment to the present Constitu-
ton, adopted by the people last fall,
does away with spring elections in
the COZ mites.

CROKER GIVES UP LEADERSHIP.
Lewis Nixon is Now at the Head
Of Tammany Hall.

The new chieftain was born in
Leesburg, Va, April z, 1861. In
1882 he graduated from the United
States Naval Academy at the head
of his class. He was sent by the
Navy Department to the Royal
Naval College, Greenwich, England,
and in 1884 he was transferred to
the construction corps of the navy.
In 1890 he designed the battle
ships Oregon, Indiana and Massa-
chusetts, and then resigned from the
navy TO become superintendent of
construction of Cramps shipyard,
Philadelphia. In 1895 he left there
and on his own account started the
Crescent shipyard at Elizabethport,
New Jersey, where he has built one
hundred vessels in six years, among
others the torpedo-boat Holland and
the monitor Florida.
Mr.. Nixon is bitter opponent of
saloons and gambling, something very
strange for Tammanyite.

CoNvICTs ON THE ROADS.

Let other counties follow the plan
of Amherst and Bedford by working
State convicts on the roads. Untold
advantage would accrue to Virginia
from such a method. Our roads.
which are below the average in poin t
of condition, would soon be in such
shape that farmers could market
their products at largely reduced
costs and vehicles and horses would
last longer; social intercourse would
also be accentuated. And, too, a
large expense would be saved the
people of the State who are asked to
contribute heavily to penitentiary
improvements. We are not opposed
to any sum properly expended for
improvements to the penitentiary if
the present system of dealing with
the convicts is to continue, but we
do not see why this heavy cost can
not be obviated through the system
OF working convicts on the public
roads. In line with this thought
we append the following from the
Richmond Dispatch:
The VIRGINIA CITIZEN, in noticing
that Governor Montague ''is pronounced
Tor good roads and industrial training
Tor youths" cries "Speed the dsv when
both shall take possession of Virginia ~
And this is an echo of the cry OF good
many other Virginia papers II is evil
dent that these two planks of Governor
Montague's platform are very popular.
Hut the practical question Is how are we
going to build upon themg How much
are the people of the several counties
aud cities willing to pay for the two
great desiderataY
The Dispatch is Tor improving the
penltentiary. So is the CITIZEN.
But the CITIZEN thinks that the
convlcts can solve the question both
as to good roads and saving large
appropriation for penitentiary pur-
poses.
