One appropriation made by the Legis
lature, at its session now closing. will
not meet with censure from any source.
We have reference 10 the fund set aside
for the improvement of the State peni-
Tertiary. The conditions at that institu-
ton have long been reproach to the
fair name of Virginia. The convicts
have been crowded together in the pres
emit buildings to such an extent that cpl
denies have frequently broken out,
criminal practices have been INDUCED
In, and the prisoners have been only
confirmed In their evil tendencies. The
purpose of the institution is not only to
punish for crimes committed, but to
instill into the convict desire TO live d
better life, and this purpose has been
entirely throttled by the crowded condi-
ton of the prison. AS many as twenty
four prisoners have been confed in one
cell. The appropriation is amply large
to provide the Accommodations needed for
the better conduct of this important
State institution.

The end of the Constitutional Conven-
ton is in sight BY the adoption of the
Glass suffrage plan, the hardest problem
before the body was solved Whether
it was rightly solved. or not, is a ques-
ton that only time and trial can answer
We are willing, on our part, TO claim for
the members of the Convention, that
they have addressed themselves TO this
important matter with earnestness,
honesty and fidelity to their constitu-
ency. We are willing to say for them
that they have done all that human and
finite minds could do to free the State
of Virginia from the Black Colossus
that now menaces her best political
interests.
