STILL AT IT.

We have been forced to believe
and the CITIZEN has so expressed it
that the people of Virginia would
better accept the new Constitution
as promulgated by the Convention
after nearly years labor. We do
this upon the principle of choosing
the lesser of two evils, since we are
compelled to live under one of two
evils as depicted by the Constitutions
before the people of Virginia. We
have taken this position from a
thoroughly conscientious and, as we
believe, patriotic step. The new
Constitution is nothing like the
document we had hoped and expected
would emanate from so able body.
In nearly every item there is discern
IDLE the hand of partisanry and
fractional politics. A blind man
having it read to him will see clearly
that this is the truth, and the man
who could not read at all will come
to knowledge of the fact by brush
ing coats with few of the people
who are versed in the affairs of State.
Unfortunately-most unfortunate.
ly-was it for our people that the
Constitutional delegates were chosen
at time when there was hot State
canvass in progress and when party
schisms were at higher pitch than
had been for twenty years. 1t has
long been clear that large majority
of delegates to the Convention were
friends to one gubernatorial faction
and their predictions have greatly
influenced the action of the Conven-
ton in nearly all of its work. This
is hard thing to say but it is we'll
known to be the truth and the only
extenuation offered is that the Con-
stitutional delegates are not demigods
and are human beings.
One of the most patent pieces of
partisanry that has disported itself
is the proposed election of the new
circuit Cor county, judges. Not
even violation of promises to give to
the people voice in the matter of
electing most of their oflicers-par-
ticularly county school superinten-
dents and trustees-can exceed the
intrigue that sought to postpone
the selection of these judges until
1904, at time just few days
prior to their being called upon to
assume the duties of their offices.
One secret reason for not wishing
the present Legislature, which will
convene in November next, to select
these judges is because that body
is not in harmony with the
fractional inclinations of a majority
of the Convention, and the chief
reason for some of the delegates
wishing a new Legislature to change
the judges is hope that that Legis-
iature may be more in harmony with
their afiiliations-in plain words,
may be Montague Legislature-in
which event they may entertain a
hope that they will get some of the
pickings.

AFTER much opposition protest
of DR.. Arson West, of the North
Alabama Conference, became a part
of the record of the proceedings of
the Methodist General Conference at
Dallas, Texas. DR.. West protests
against the action of the Conference
in instituting the Order of Deacon
esses as being at war with the his
tory of Professionalism generally, and
nowhere in the Bible could justifica-
ton for the creation of the order be
found. One of the sentences in DR..
Vests protest said: departure from
Divine order leads to infidelity, an
archy and ruin"
Since so eminent a divine is on
record as protesting against this in
novation in Southern Methodism it
may not be counted treason in any
laymsn's criticising the action of the
General Conference. We are ALWAYS
for peace, harmony and unity where
consistent with moral and spiritual
scruples, in individuals or churches,
but this institution, which is one of
the main features of the church
North, would meet with our bitterest
denunciation if we were in position
to deliver ourselves In an official
or prominent capacity. Aside from
doubtful Biblical authority such a |
departure is in conflict with the
laws of sociology aud the general
understanding of woman's more use
ful sphere at this day. 1t may be
step in anticipation of the years to
come, but we are not yet prepared
for the advent of the "new woman"
into the religion OF the Methodist
church, South. The General Con-
ference is supreme, but it has pro-
