THE TRUTH AS 1T is SPOKEN.

THE Petersburg, Va, INDEX APPEAL.
IN its issue Of the 10Th inst says:
After nearly one years consideration
of the subject, the Constitutional Con-
vention is in greater muddle over the
suffrage problem now than it was at the
beginning. t h IS apparently put aside
the nGts,ther 5 clause folly as some
thing too irepoSteraus TO affront the
common sense e the public with. but 1t
has gone TO wranghng over the kindred
folhes of an understanding clause and a
property qualification clause The re-
ports from Richmond tell us that as q
result of the adoption of the properly
quail ticat on condition there was great
confusion IN the Democratic Conference
And well there might be, for the meas
ure Is step backwards of q hundred
ye RS and Is an assault upon every es-
Sentiai principal of true Democracy. 1t
is an an tchr niSm in the politics of Vir-
GINA III the Twentieth Century. With
such feature Incorporated in the new
Constitution, the Convention will not
dare TO submit that instrument Co the
ratification of even a restricted electo
rate, such as Mr.. Glass proposes.
1t concludes as follows:
All this trouble comes from the at.
tempt to do by indirection and i'm VIC.
layion of lazy, and right, and Justice.
what could be done directly in a plain.
easy, lawful, rightful and Just way. 1t
Is amazing that the ablest and most
learned men of the State will deliberate.
ly shut their eyes TO the plain and safe
course which lies directly before them.
and persist in following a dark and tor
tuous way which is beset on every hand
with doubt and difficulty and danger.
All that the exigencies of the times
demand, all that the conditions of the
State require, all that the people of Vir-
ginla expect is that the constitutional
Convention will frame suffrage law
based upon true manhood and compli-
ance with the requirements of an hon
est and intelligent citizenship. That
ought not TO be difficult task.
But what is the use of further COM
ment? We dof our hat TO the INDEX
APPEAL.

'BAGGED TWO BURGLARS
coLoRED PoL1oEMAN,s GOOD Jon
Driven Into u Corner by the Besper
ate Duo, He Shoots One Prob
ably Fatally.

Special to The Journal,
Des Moines, Iowa, March 31.-Through
the nerve Of ira Miller, one OF the few
colOred oatrolmen on the Des Molnes
force, two DESPERATE burglars were cap
tured early this morning. The burglars
are colored men, giving their names as
Walter and Albert Jackson of Lincoln,
III.
AS the officer entered an alley on his
beat he was attracted by the sound OF
breaking glass. Hurrying in the direc-
tion whence the sound came, ne was met
by the burglars in the depths of the al
ley. Both had their arms filled with
plumber, and when ordered to halt threw
down their bundles and grappled with
him. Both drew knives and slashed at
Officer Miller, who fred at his nearest
assailant, Walter Jackson. The bullet
took effect in the pit Of the stomach and
the man dropped. His brother then sub
mitted 20 arrest Ohicer Miller was but
slightly cut about the neck.
Walter Jackson is at Mercy hospital
and is no. expected to live. Physicians
who have examined him say he is wound
ed in exactly the same manner as Presl-
dent Mckinley and they will operate with
a view to determining whether his lie
can be saved. The goods stolen have
been identified in part, some OF them pc
longing to Brndy's wholesale novelty
house and comprising chains and 1eWelry
of various kinds. The police have not
verified the identity Of the burglars

of the Session.

Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, March
3l.-There was another break in wheat this
morning, and May reached 69l4c after an
hour of trading. Considering the general holt
day tone, and the fact that there were no
foreign markets, it was an active session;
more active than had been expected. feature
was the relatively stronger tone here Chi
cago led the down turns and Minneapolis fol-
lowed somewhat reluctantly at first, the diff
ference between the two markets narrowing 10
nc. The only foreign item OF Importance
was announcing the arrival of 26 cargoes
off coast since the Saturday close. there being
only one cargo in sight at that time, and
q this morning. This represents the begin
ming of arrivals there of the Pacific coast
wheat shipments began late in the fall. After
the break to low point the market reacted to
69& @69Bc, and fell again. 1t was lively
scalping market. Worlds shipments for the

ments 1T, 900 against 247,000. Local receipts
we're 34S cars against 42S and Duluth had AZ

amounted to $4,000 bushels. Local stocks

The market closed unchanged from Satur-

The cash market was active. The usual
outside Monday morning demand was noted,
and there was good local milling demand. For
No. l northern the price was 7OA@71c. The
No. grade covered range of a cent from
6SAc to $3.50, but the latter figure was for
very choice and the bulk OF all the No. 2

There promises to be lively tilt here to-
morrow over the proposition which Will
be voted uson to have the city own and
operate it's own electric light plant. me
plant is owned by r. G.: Mason & Son ana
the state law requires city to buy a
plant that is established if 1t designs TO
have it's own plant. This will give the
present owners the LONG end, and many
who would like to see the city own the
plant are afraid they will have to pay
too dearly for the local one and VIII
therefore hesitate about casting ballot
for city ownership.
A large crew Of men began work on the
improvements on the Omaha railway bed
near here this morning. The new track
will begin about three miles north OF the
citv and strike the old bed again about
the same distance east and will be an
air line for through trains that do not
stop here. 1t will be from SIX 10 elshi
