The editor of the Lynchburg News
and member of the Constitutional
Convention gives his views in re-
cent issue of his paper Of the results
to be accomplished by the new Con-
stitution under a double headed edi-
torial entitled, Some things it will
do" The following extracts showing
the additions 1t will make to the
revenues of the State and Saving to
the taxpayers" are worthy OF Sc
rious consideration and will go very
far to remove the prejudice of those
who do not favor the constitution:
The new Constitution will save
the taxpayers of Virginia outright,
in reduced expenditures, $1S3,000 per
annum.
The new Constitution will save the
taxpayers of Virginia, incidentally,
at least $97, 900.
The new Constitution will add to
this annual saving of $272,000 in ad-
ministrative expenses the further
saving that must accrue from a
higher type of public officials and a
better method of transacting public
business and safeguarding public
revenues.
The new Constitution will reduce
the tax burden of the people 80 per
cent, amounting in the aggregate to
$437, 099 40!
The new Constitution will exact
from the great railway corporations
of the State 100000 in additional
taxes, which they virtually admit
they ought to pay.

The constitution will be proclaim
ed, according to advices received by
the Richmond Dispatch from the
most of the counties of the State, and
the correctness of its conclusion in
the matter will hardly be question
ed in the light of the figures present
ed by that journal, showing that OF
the sixty nine counties heard from,
fifty-one are for proclamation, seven
for submission and nine doubtful.
The majority of the counties of the
State having thus spoken, the qUes-
ton of course is no longer in doubt.
That the white people of the State
had the right thus to speak and re-
lease their representatives in the
Constitutional Convention FROM
pledges which were made to them by
the Norfolk Convention too cannot
be seriously disputed even by the
most ardent advocates ofsubmission.
Instructing, as they have done, their
delegates in the meetings held by
them to proclaim they have asserted
their authority, and it is the same
thing to them as though they had
actually voted on the Constitution
itself. In fact their action in the mat
ter seems to be the only one that
could have been taken by them
They could not wisely take the
chances of defeat by submitting 1t
to the present electorate or willingly
be parties to the farce Of a submits
sion to an abridged electorate. II
willing to trust their delegates to
make a pew constitution for them,
they have acted wisely, we believe, in
trusting them still further by con-
forming to their wishes, as they have
done, as to the method Of putting 1t
into operation.

Governor Montague, Tuesday,
named the twelve commissioners Of
the jamestown tercenteuary cele'
bration, two at large and one from
the ten congressional districts of the
State. The commissioners will con
stitute a Board of Directors of the
enterprise. The two directors repre-
senting the State at large were rec
commended by the Association for the
Preservation of Virginia Antiquities.
They are the Right Rev. Alfred
Magill Randolph, Of the Episcopal
Diocese of Eastern Virginia, and
Hon. J. Taylor Ellyson, OF this city.
Mr.. E. D. Cole, of Fredericksburg,
was selected as the commissioner
from the First District. The claims
of the Eastern Shore to a position
on the Board, if considered, were
ignored by the Governor. 1t may be
that we will be remembered later on
and get the recognition due to us as
one OF the eight original counties of
the State.

A Local Purchaser.

The new steel hopper coal cars, de-
signed by Cornelius Vanderbilt, are
meeting with considerable favor in the
trade and will undoubtedly prove a
source of considerable revenue for the
inventor. Orders, we understand, have
recently been placed for them at an ag-
gregate cost of $1,200,000
The West Virginia Central and Pitts
burg railroad has ordered 500 cars,
costing S6oo,OOo, While the Lackawan-
ma Iron and Steel company has placed
an equally large order. These cars have
novel and interesting features which
makes them particularly applicable ia
the coal trade. Each car weighs about
$4,000 pounds, and has coal capacity
of 11l,00O pounds. The car has prac-
tcally no underframe. There are no
side sills, center sills instead providing
for the weight of the car body and load,

Not Consistent.
Editor Of The Tribune.


Sir-People become suddenly alarmed and take
every possible precaution to prevent the spread
OF contagious or infectious disease in com
munty when nenaced by the same. l shall not
say one word against this. / do say, however,
that we are not consistent In this respect, both
the people and the newspapers are equally at
fault. Every community is menaced by an evil
that produces greater suffering and is more to be
dreaded than the smallpox, yellow fever or lep.
rosy. The dramshop business destroys more an
nually, year in and year out, decade after de-
cade than famine, pestilence and war combined.
Yet people are sapient and look on the dram
shop necessary" Why necessary? Is any
business necessary that has nothing good in it
and is evil and only continuously from one end
to the other. But we hear some one eSclaim,
we cannot make people moral by law and we
have no right to enact or enforce sumptuary
laws. They say that must not attempt to
regulate" or prescribe" wkat people shall +at,
or drink or wear. That is not any argument in
favor OF the dramshop business. We do have an
inaieable right 10 protect the home. We are
required 10 protect those around US
l have said that the dramshop business de-
stroys more than famine, war and pestIence COM
bined. Do you look incredulously at meY You
have not made any investigation study OF the
subject ii YOU do, II is we'll known fact, es-
tablished beyond the possibility of dispute by
any one that in this great country OF ours even
before the acquisition OF tine new POSSESSIONS
that every time the hands on the dial marks five
minutes, a soul passes to eternity us the result
of the nefarious dramshop business. Is there any.
thing else that would be tolerated which has
such black record? This is not all. 1t is the
fruitful source of crime, misery and sutferings of
every imaginable character More than nine.
tenths of the criminals that appear before our
courts OF Justice are brought there either directly
or indirectly because OF the dTamshop. Recently
and solely because of increase of crime, by yea.
son OF the dranlshop business, the criminal court
sessions of this county have been increased from
two weeks at sitting to three weeks. What
other evil would any community tolerate, law or
no law, with such black recordS Are you be.
ginning to say 'cranli"? Very we'll, let me re.
mind you that that appellaton carries not one
feathers weight in argument, and IL is very
much like the school boy's making up face
To show his superiority TO his fellow schoolnate
and disregard of what he is saying.
The dramshop menaces the home; IL men
aces society; it menaces busiress--honest busi-
ness, it menaces the church; il menaces the ma
ton, All have felt its potent power, All have
suffered more or less from its destructive in
huences, Heroes, prophets, priests and kings
have fallen by its potent power One dramshop
in community will DO more harm To the people
than hundred smallpox cases

Shipments of Anthracite Coal.

During the month of December the
shipments of anthracite coal amount
ed to more than 3.62O.4O0 tons, making
the total for the year, in round num-
bers, 5365S,00O tons. The output last
month was not as great as was belev-
ed it would be, and the reason for the
falling off was the scarcity of cars, the
holidays and the inability to work
some of the mines, owing to the heavy
rains.
The following table shows the num-
ber of tons of coal carried by each one
of the companies. and the excess of de-
ficit, according to the percentage al
lowed:
