The CcnYeriinr.

Here is an outside view Of the Virginia
Convention. The Baltimore Sun says:
Judging by the expressions CT soma OF
our Virginia contemporaries, tho people
OF the Old Dominion are beginning to
fear their Constitutional Convention Will
become a permanent fixture. The con-.
Vention assembled last June and is still
pcSsing away, with no indications that
its work Will be completed at an carly
day. Consiitution-r,aking is Il Very Sc
1ious busincss-one which requires great
thought anc labor. Still, it appears to
d;sinteresseG observer that the Viz
ginia convention might have prepared a
Constitution and adjourned in much less
sine than has been consumed by the
body now III session. The trouble with
our Virginia friends 1t seems. is that
they did no. know exactly what they
wanted wa;sn their convention assembled.
The consequence is that there has been
a great deal OF plating ut cross rur-
poses. Taxation and the suffrage are
important questions III every State When
comprehensive changes arc proposed. as
IL the case OF the Old Dominion. it
seems inapossibla to secure results with.
anything like reasonable expedition.
While The revision. &C the suffrage laws
of Virginia has been agitated in that
state for many years. the combined Wis
dom aud craftsmanship OF the conven-
lion has thus far been unable to de-
yi;c a solution of the problem which will
give general satisfaction to the people.

HOW TO BUILD A TOWN.

The South Boston News is urging the
,itizens of that live town to form a Bus
mess Mems Associations. Our contem-
)orary is right, ana the citizens of South
Boston will be wise to adopt its sugges-
aons and put it into practical effect. A
business mems association is quite neces-
harry TO the progress and development OF
my town. It brings the enterprising
1men Of the community together and capt.

Ngencc of the community. 1t brings the
representative citizens into closer rcla-
1ionship and makes them more friendly
and arouses in them that esprit de corps
which is the best asset Of any town.
It cannot be too often asserted that the
men make tire town. Naturally, ioca-
Aion counts for something. but the right

clause, and he thinks he could reasona-
biv explain any section in the new con-
stitution. but if these clauses are inserted
he will, II he lives to get to the polls,
crst his ballot against the new Constl-

be making an effort to save the fair
name OF his State, UNFOLDING the right,
cthdemning the wrong and recording his
opposition to fraud and corruption.
Should these clauses become parts OF
the new Constitution, then it will be
time, indeed, FOR all citizens OF Virginia,
who believe in the purity of elections
as the safeguard of our institutions. and
in an atmosphere of public morality, for
the rising generation to breathe and i'm

oBsYINQ TnHLAw.

Mr. J. Picrront Morgan Is Indignant
because an officer OF tho law entered his
home and served q subpoena upon him.
Mr.. Morgan was requested to testify IN
the suit OF Peter Power against the
Northern Pacific Railroad Company. He
claims that tie agreed to accept service.
provided they would not serve tho legal
rapers upon him. But counsel for Mir.
Powers SAYS that he had reason to be-
aicyc that Mr.. Morgan would not ac-
cent. and so It became necessary to sum
mons Inn We know nothing about all
This, but we cannot understand why MI
Morgan should object TO having 4 sub
,,ocna served upon him, and he makes a
great mistake TO raise sucil objections.
MIR. Morgan is 4 very rich man, bat he
is a citizen OF the United States and is
subject to all the duties and response
ailitics oe citizenship. When he objects
to a legal process Of this character he puts
himself outside the pale OF other citizens
and makes it appear that he regards him
self as superior. There are no class dis
4inctions in this country and rich men
are entitled TO no immunity because OF
their wealt... When rich men assume
that they belong 10 q privileged class they
do very stupid thing. and naturally
cause poor men to feel resentful.
We do not mean to make any assault
upon The rich. We do not mean to mako
any appeal to the passions Of the poor.
we do not think, as some seem to think.
that ali rich men arc bad. Many rich
men of this country have shown them
selves to be good and true. We believe
that Mr.. Morgan is good and kind man.
But Mr. Morgan and others like him. of
all men should obey and respect tho law
and so set an example. Without law
there is no safety for the rich. What
would Mr.. Morgans millions be worth to
linn if there were no law to protect him
in his rights? 1t is not enough that Mr..
Morgan pay n large sum Of money to the
Government in taxation. 1t is not the
whole of a citizens duty to pay taxes.
1t is as much the duty of a citizen to
serve on a subpoena to serve as a wit
ness. to take an active interest in the
affairs of government, as 1t is Tor INN TO
serve in the ranks in time of war.
That was a timely utterance which we
quoted in Sundays paper from Rev. w
C. Campbell, of Roanoke. on Civic Right
eousness.'' mo man. said le, 'by rea-
son of wealth, has a right to sl1irk jury
duty. the duty OF voting or holding Of
fec. His own interests may be protect
ed without performing these duties, but
those of his poorer and weaker neighbor
may not be, and he has no right to rcle-
gate to less. favored men the duties that
residence in city give hin to perform. -
We cannot hope to have good govern
ment unless the good men of every walk
In life are willing to bear their part of
The public burden, unless the best men
recognize and discharge all the duties
of citizenship.

Az APPEAL 70 the Convention.

Editor o; The Times:
Sir-Ec" nine Gull months the Consts-
tEtional Convention has been celebrating
over the suffrage question. Plans to dis
franchise citizens WAC voted to call that
body into being and TO elect its members,
have been presented il every phase and
form. The prominent feature OF every
plan hcs; been to take from the poor man
his right 10 vote. and so hamper the IL
iitcratc ,can with difficulties as to de-
prive him of the ballot, or enable the dis
honest election official to use MIN to SUBJ
serve Ills own corrupt purposes. It can
be stated without fear OF successful con-
tradictior that every proposition that
has met with any considerable favor in
The convention has been oppressive to the
poor man and has provided the means
for corruption in elections This is strong
language but the facts Justify it and

of them.

The Difference,

Some one has made the interesting dis
covery that the Republicans in the United
States Senate think a great deal more OF
TiIlman than they do Of McLaurin. This
is easy to understand. It is on the prin-
ciple that a naked savage is more inter
csting than a whited sepulchre. How they
can feel anything else but contempt for
McLaurin is hard to conceive. No'ni-

There is truth in every line Of the fol-
lowing article from the Acconac News:
On education the hope Of the South
must rest Education is the only means
/ of elevating and broadening the individ-
ual type. Great attention must be paid
to this in order that the best results may
be worked out. The constant elevating
Of the individual through the process
of education is the only. means by which
the best can be accomplished. The aim
Of this education must be to create broad
ness Of view and liberalty OF thought.
The South must broaden its base along
these lines Men are needed who will
see the public good and who will
stand for it and their convictions. The
broad view Of such questions can only
be brought about by education. The
broadening Of the Individual and the
teaching of the principles Of political
economy and municipal government are
the needs OF the day. This means also
the broadening and strengthening Of
character-that, Is, the production Of men,
