CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
ADJOURNS.

The Convention has finished and
will now rest from its labors until
May 22nd, when it will reassemble
to pass upon the revised yerbiage.
The scene at closing resembled a
crowd of school boys off on a holiday
excursion and great shouts of ap-
plause, not unmixed with delight,
rent the air.
The Richmond Times has made a
poll of that body as far as it was
posslble TO do so on the question of
whether the new Constitution should
be proclaimed or submitted to the
people for ratification. The poll
shows that thirty-seven members are
for submission to the present cleo
torate, twenty-three for proclamation,
thirteen for submission to the
abridged electorate, fifteen who are
not certain, five who refused to talk
and seven whose views could not be
learned, making the total of 100.
DR.. Dunaway is for proclaiming and
Mr.. Walker on-committal.
The Convention refused to re-
place the State tax at 40 cents, but
decided to rescind its action and
make the term Of State Senator's
four years and all to be chosen at
the same time.

Battle on Old fractional Lines.

(E'Etrdcts from Richmond Tymes)
= Whatever else may be said of the
controversy over the bill to reappor-
ton thesState into congressional dis
triots, it is4Fell understood by those
in close toueha with the situation
that factionaf politics played no in
significant part, and that the same
spirit Of poh heal rivalry that AMI
mated the two wings of the party in
their struggle for mastery last year
manifested itself I'M almost every
stage of the proceedings. Indeed, this
spirit OF partisanship and fractional
jealously has become proverbial in
the Democratic politics of the State,
and every one looks for its appear
lance when any matter of party sig
niticance isup for determination.
Everywhere 1T was evident to the
observing mind that the two wings
of, the party were arrayed over the
matter, and would contend vigorous
ly for every point, until the struggle
should be determined. 1t cropped
ont in the Hobbies, before the com
mittees. and on the floors of the two
Houses, and no one made any great
attempt to conceal it.
Now that the battle is over. il is
easy to see that the fight was rather
awkwardly managed by both sides.
Neither the friends nor the oppo-
nents of the measure seemed to see
their opportunities until it was too
late. Had the former reported the
bill early in the session, it might
have passed in time to get it again
up in the two houses before the men,
bers scattered out, and if they were
strong enough it might have been
passed over the Governors veto, and
saved all the talk now going on about
testing in the courts the right of the
Governors veto. On the other hand.
the opponents of the bill dashed
their opportunities to the wind in the
House. Hon. q. Conway Baker, of
Westmoreland, was put forward in
the filibuster fight to hold the floor
and test the physical endurance of
those behind the bill. He succeeded
in getting recognition to speak in op.
position TO- Mr.. Cummings motion
to take the bill up opt of its order,
and instead of holding the floor ali
night, as he had right to do under
The rules, lie surrendered. after a
speech of some ten minutes. Good
parliamentarians commended that Mr..
Baker could have held the aoor the
remainder of the session if he had
cared to, and there was no proper
way to make him surrender. If he
had grown tired he could have sent
to the clerks desk the Bible, the
Code of Virginia, or any other
printed matter, to be read, and could
have resumed his speech ct pleasure.
But. the filibusterers practically sur
rendered by IL o'clock. aud the next |
day the House passed the bill.

GOOD ROADR-

There has been such an awakening
through the whole United States in
behalf of good roads that Virginia
has caught the contagion, although
the State is rather behind many of
her Southern sisters in taking up
this great and beneficial question.
Her papers are almost a unit Ia
clamoring for a better and more in
teiiigent system of working the
roads, and her representative men
nave been so much interested as to
further the movement by holding a
number of good roads conventions.
The fact that SO many men Of ma
tional repute eongregated in Char
lottesville last week and discussed
the subject bodies good for the ad-
vancement of this cause. 1t is much
to be regretted, however, that the
Virginia Legislature should have de-
feated all efforts seeking legislation
to this end, and considering the
munifcent hand with which she
lavished our revenues upon many
objects-good, bad and Indifferent
and denied the pittance for the adj
vancement of good roads, deserves a
need of censure.

THE GOVERNORS VETO.

Governor Montague as was expected
has yielded to the pressure of his politi-
cal friends and vetoed the re-apportion-
ment bill. He gives no good reason for
his action but politicians are not ex-
pected to keep reasons on tap, and Mr..
Montague is like all the rest. We believe
he went contrary to majority of the
people of this State but we philosophy
cally accept the result believing firmly
in the old adage that "there is no use
crying over split milk" -Eredcricks5urQ
Star. -
The foregoing conclusion very ac-
curately echoes the sentiments of the
VIRGINIA CITIZEN on the Governors
veto. The issue was decided on
purely fractional lines, and as the
Governor held the whip hand he and
his crowd won out. Smart lawyer
that he is he was not at loss for
adroit argument to sustain his posi-
ton, but not one scintilla of it is
reinforced by precedent or promise
for the material welfare of the Com
monwealth. BY law the State
should have been reapportioned, and
while it could have been better done
the new plan was still an improve
ment upon the preceding apportion-
ment. The districts were not so
badly gerrymandered as they might
have been and have still found favor
an MIR. Montague's sight-if it had
appeared to favor his friends.
Bringing the matter home to us, it
rs absurd that the addition of the
Newport News section would have
been anything like as bad as the
present arrangement, which skips
King George and Stafford and takes
in fredericksburg and. Spotsylvania
beyond; nor does it reach in drastic
ness the placing of Essex county
with four of our Northern Neck
counties for new judicial district
when King George would have given
us five counties contiguous; nor is it
any worse than tying together in a
legislative district Richmond aud
Lancaster counties whose business
interests are little in common, or
likewise Northumberland and West
moreland for the same reason. The
matter of population is also against
these existing arrangements.
We offer no opposition to the Judi
clal or legislative appointments just
mentioned, but simply cite them to
show that the argument of the
Governor and his friends here, so far
as our section is concerned, is illogical.

New Paper For westmoreland,

The press and plant of the Chesa.
peakS WatcAmen, which suspended
publication, year before last at Kill
marnock, Lancaster county, has been
purchased by Watt 4. Mayo, a prom
Inent attorney of Westmoreland
county.
1t is said to be the intention of
the purchaser to start local paper
at Hagne, in that county. The field
is good one and Mr.. Mayo is a
bright and energetic young man, so
there is every reason to believe sue
cess will crown his efforts in this
direction. He and his proposed
paper have the CITIZENS earnest
and cordial wishes.

GREATER IN DEATH.

We have for years watched the
career of Cecil Rhodes, and more
than once taken occasion to comment
on the character of this truly great
man. While he had his faults. as
all humanity has, death has ell
veloped most of these and he stands
out greater today in the estimate of
unbiased critics than ever before.
In our limited knowledge in his
peculiar line and career We know of
no equals, certainly of no superiors,
to this poor minister's son who was
sent to South Africa to die of con-
sumption. He gained the mastery
over an early death and lived to
carry off the palm as a commercial
empire builder, and must stand ont
in history as greater than the re.
nowned Warwick, who created kings
only and lost empires to himself.
The Anglo-Saxon race and its cousin.
the Tuetonic, though there he in
dividual hates, must do obeisance t,
the great achievements of this re.
markable man; and new that he lies
dead his last will and testament is q
wonder to all the world which STYLES
tia parallel to the great Caesars as
depicted by Shakespeare. He far
eclipses the munificent Carnegie in
the amount of his donations, while
his will is marked for the philan-
thropic idea that permeates 1T. We
must stand aghast when we try to
contemplate the far-reaching extent
OF the bequest of twenty million
dollars for education at Oxford Uni
verslty of the youths of England,
Germany and the United States.
One hundred of these youths belong
to America alone.
1t is not too extravagant to say
that the memory of no man in civil
life who has preceded him stands
half the chance to become perpetual
as that of this Presbyterian minister's
son, the diamond King" the bold
NKaffir Lord" and the British EN-
pire Builder, Cecil Rhodes.

FISH AND OYSTER LAWS.

The Alexandria Times demands
that all new laws made by the legis-
lature of this State shall be published
in all the newspapers, So that the
people may be Informed. Whether
the Times is right or not in its de-
mands certainly something should
be done to better spread information
as to what are and what are not the
lawswhen each Legislature has closed
its session. The session which has
just closed passed a great many i'm
portant measures, while others, more
agitated, failed of passage. Very
few today, even among the members
of the Legislature, are certain as to
the fate Of such measures, There
has been great uncertainty among
the people of Tidewster Virginia as
to fate of the various oysters bills,
and we have received inquiries in
Vulnerable as to what was done about
shortening the season. There are
hundreds of men working on the
oyster-rocks today who do not know
whether they are violating the laws
or hot, uncertain whether the bill
taking April off the oyster season
had become a law. This measure
Jailed OF passage, and the length of
the oyster season remains as before.
Ihe only oyster measure of general
interest which became law ia the
one that opens the deep waters of
Chesapeake bay to oyster planting.
Bottoms of the bay, in fifteen feet
OF water and over, can be taken up
for twenty-five cents an acre by ap-
plication to the Board of Fisheries.
We are glad to know that tie bill
reducing the tax on pound-nets to
So, and on all fykes or weirs to 81,
was passed and is now among our
statutes.
While a number Of bills bearing
On fish and oysters were introduced
there we're no others of material in
terest passed save the foregoing ones.

|E0aiy Two of0ld Members Rstxspsd,

i -
aoserner Montague on Monday
gave got the app6intne6ts sef Che
new State Board Of Fisheries, terms
beginning April LIST, 1902, and con-
tin1ing four. years. They are:
Dr, John w. Bowdoin- chairman,
Acoomac; Seth F.. Miller, secretary,
Matthews; George b. Keezell, Rock
ingham; Henry NJ. Tyler, Richmond,
and Robert j. Camp, southampton.
The fight for the chairmanship
has been very warm and it was pre-
dlcted that Norfolk man would
win as the rivalry between DIR. Frank
Fletcher, the present incumbent, and
Or Bowdoln was quite sharp, they
being from the same county. Friends
OF DIR. Fletcher maintained that their
man had made good officer, and
there appears 10 reason why he
should be turned down. Friends of
MIR. Shultice, of Norfolk, confidently
predicted that they had assurances
indirectly from Mr.. Montague that
the Norfolk man would be given the
place because of the rivalry of two
candidates from the Eastern Shore.
Considering this the friends of DIR.
FLETCHER very reasonably want to
know why a good official should be
turned down for a rival countyman
although his reputation be of the
highest order. The only answer they
can find is in the recent common
rumor that the Governor would
strike Senator LeCato over his
friend Fletcher's shoulder. The
rumor has it that after the Norfolk
convention, lat which Senator LeCato's
friends felt badly treated by the
Montague people, whom they were
supporting, there was an estrange-
ment between the popular Eastern
Shore senator, who limited at his
grievance, and the Executive.
That Capt. Curtis and Hon. Penn
broke Petit were dropped was not
surprise as they were not for Mr..
Montague for Governor. DR.. Fletcher
was a supporter of Dir. Montague
and naturally his friends feel deep
grievance, and they are not slow in
commenting upon the fact that the
assumed patriotism of the guberna-
torial campaign has dwindled into
policy of reward for some friends
and punishment to all enemies.
