Text of the Letter.

r. The letter is as follows:
Dear Sir: The constitutional convention
having practically completed its labors
and the proclamation of the instrument de-
cided upon, l am advised by the news
papers that the schedule provides for con-
-vening the general assembly on July IL.
that the members of the latter body may
be sworn to support the new constitution
and TO accept as the fundamental law for
the government of our people until amend
ed. The situation to my mind is one of no
small import, and demands our most earn
est consideration. My honest convictions
are against the power of the convention.
under the circumstances which brought
them together and the existing conditions.
to proclaim the instrument, and after a
careful study of the question and the
animation of precedentS and authorities |
feel fully supported in my judgment l
am anxious, however, to ascertain the
views Of some of my collea CUES in the
house. as well az of some of the members of
the senate, and to obtain from them some
expression in the premises, not for publ
cation, but merely for the purpose of com
pairing notes and getting the sentiment of
the general assembly.
I'm this communication | am prompted
in a measure by publications contained in
some of the newspapers that the sentiment
of the general assembly was in favor of
proclamation. This seems to me somewhat
inconsistent with expressions heard by me
during the last session. Personally. | feel
that the instrument should have been sub
mitted to the people for their ratification
or rejection, and that its proclamation is
setting a precedent which may come back
to plague us in years to come If a repre-
sentative body, without first being clothed
with power to do so by the expressed will
of the people, can make and proclaim a
constitution for them and enforce its ac-
ceptance by the constituted government
under the penalty that all executive. judi
cial and ministerial offices shall be vacated
it would seem that our idea of a govern
ment by the people is but a fiction. and
that their most sacred rights may be
wrested from them, and they without any
peaceful remedy in the premises. | shall
be glad to have your views to the legal
effect of the proclamation of the new con-
Stitution. and what seems to YOU to be the
duty of the general assembly under the
circumstances

RICHMOND. Va. June 17.-That some
of the members of the general assembly
are not disposed to concede the right of the
constitutional convention to proclaim the
constitution as framed has been intimated
for some time. Whether there is to be a
determined fight on that question remains
to be seen. That consideration is being
given to the matter is evidenced by the fol-

members of the house of delegates and the

home and robbed US of our first borr,
Edna Gertrude. The wound then
made has been measurably healed.
But on Jan. 10, 1902 at O'Clock p. m.
the cruel shaft was for the second
time applied and this morning accom-
panied by t 70 friends tried and true
we are at home, just back from the
silent city of the dead where We left
the flower OF our household. Wilma is
gone. Her pleasant voice,l her elias
tic step is heard no more. We are
trying to be resigned to the will of
Him who gave and has taken away.
After these long years we have just
fully learned the true merits of the
people, our people. 10 say tnat We
shall always feel very tenderly to
| wards DR.. R, W. PopGn for his untir
ing attention and medical skill, only
but feebly voices our sentiments.
We would love so we'll to mention
every person who so willingly gave
their service during our daughters

because they are many. We must be
permitted to mention a few, Mrs.
Gray, Mrs. Mayheld, Mrs. Finley, Mrs.
Fausett, ct al and last bat least, Misses
Pearl HighVower and Florence Gray.
They all have wrought nobly and we
all, from little Iva up, wish now to
give them assurance of our love.
We have nothing but praise to offer
in our mention of their words of SYM
pathy and kind deeds. A. s. WILSON

Kansas Crop Conditions.

Texas is not the only state IN
which q dry winter prevails. A dis
patch from Topeka, Kansas, says the
winter there is characterized by very
dry weather. In spite of this fact the
crop OF winter wheat is not yet SER
Eously damaged. Eminent authorities
state that IL rain or snow would come
any time between now and March the
crop would be as good as ever.
What 10 true of Kansas Is likewise
true OF Texas. While the plant has
virtually stopped growing, yet rain
or snow within the next fifteen or
twenty days would prove che saliva
