THE PRIMARY PLAN.

The Richmond correspondent OF the
Norfolk Landmark says the primary
plan as adopted by the State demo-
cratic committee which met there this
week gives very general satisfaction.
TIE elimination OF the assessment Tea
ture meets with approval. II was the
striking out OF this feature that Mr..
Glass. who led the fight for the amend
ment, characterized as drawing the
dragons fangs." Senator Glass asked
Yesterday for an explanation OF what
be meant, said:
why, meant that the most obnox-
ious feature of the primary plan bad
been eliminated. The assessment fea'
ture was q moOstrosity. IL would have
driVeu every ambitious poor man out oil
,be democratic party and fastened OF
as a system of pecuniary exaotions
tnat would have made 1t impossible
frequently for q poor man TO be a can
didate for the most Insignificant oftce.
The proposition put it beyond the
means of any poor man TO offer for
Federal or State Office"
The adoption OF q general primary
plan for democratic nominations 10
Virginia, made applicaableto Unit-
ed States Senators and members OF Con
gress, as we'll as to State officers, is To-
vested with special interest just at this
time because OF the expected tight
four years hence between Governor
Montague and Hon. Thomas 5. Martin
for the United States Senate. 1t has
been 40 open secret for year or NOR
that Mr.. Montague would oppose Sens'
for Martin when his election next came
up again, and the adoption OF the prl'
mary plan makes this more certain.
Mr.. Montague seriously considered the
matter OF entering the race two years
ago when Governor Tyler was put up
ss the exponent OF the principle OF pop
ular nominations and elections. 1t IL
understood that bis decision then not
to come out was due TO the fact that be
held the Office OF Attorney General and
intended to run for Governor.
Senators Martin and Daniel goth
fought she nomination of Senators BY
the people at Roanoke six years ago,
but neither has 80 far as known taken
any hand In opposing the plan soon to
Oe put 10 operation. A straight light
between Messrs. Montague and Martin
before the people would be even more
otter and arouse more feeling and In
terest than marked the first few weeks
of the contest between Messrs. Monta'
que and Swanson for the nomination Tor
Governor Last year.

The Pope's Illness.

Washington. d O. Jan. H.-Csrdi
asl MArtinelli, the Pspal delegate t.
he United States, has received DO all
vices from Rome cOocerning the re-
ported illness of the Pope. A cardina
is never notified of any illness OF th'
Pope, unless the PIN slciaDs announce
nat there Ia imminent danger Of destn.
When this announcement 10 made, the
cardinal Secretary VI Stste cables the
mead OF every Dunco and apostolic
delegation throughout the world. the
first official news will come to Cardinal
Martinelli. II will be his duty to notify
the church 10 whose jurisdiction his
nome Ia situated. The bells OF the
church will then be tolled constantly
aod In this way the people will be told
that the head OF the Catholic church Is
dying. Every cardinal aud apostolic
delegate will do likewise and Catholics
all over the world will congregste IN
their various parishes and pray for the
departing successor of 81. Peter.

IrHAs heretofore been stated in the ga
.ette that this country began the year 1902
with q debt of 8 ,O11, 62s,6S6. 1t is sug-
sested that before Secretary Of the Treasury
Gage retires from Office, which he will do be-
fore the end Of the present month, he call in
the odd Successes of bonds, leaving the
debt at an even billion. The interest on over
eleven and half million dollars would thus
bo saved the already overburdened tax
payers and, IS the treasury has now large
surplus, the money required to retire these
bonds could be put to few better purposes.

IT WILL be seen that the venerable
and Justly venerated Bishop White
has by reason of advanced years and
physical ills been compelled to
transfer his bishopric. While the
church has been blessed with his use'
funess for many years and In the
natural order of things could not ex'
pect his mission to be prolonged In
definitely, yet the announcement oil bis
retirement will be read with sincere
regret by many throughout the Old
Dominion as we'll as by numbers Of
persons in other diooeses who had
learned to esteem him. He had been
regarded for a long time as q bulwsrk
between attempted Innovations and the
onslaughts of some who are swsyeo
with every wind Of doctrine and who
too often disturb the tranquility OF the
church militant. The Bishop has
devoted his long life to the church and
all its activities, and now In the adj
vanoed evening OF his earthly mission
his works and example stand as monu'
ments to his worth.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

The constitutional convention yester-
day had turbulent debate over two
separate reports and finally adjourned
10 a wrangle, leaving the questions at
issue somewhat 10 doubt.
A battle royal took place over the
reconsideration of the action oil that
body 10 eliminating from the educs-
'ioDsl report the appropriation for the
University of Virginia. Tue cutting
out of that section was sustained aud
the measure cliuched by defeat OF the
reconsideration, aud the friends oil the
university had surrendered all hope
when the matter took an interesting
form. Mr.. Withers explained that !op
objection from him a pair that was an
nounced on the vote TO reconsider the
vote by which the university sppro-
priation was defeated had been with
drawn and a vote not given.
This caused tie vote. Mr.. Thorn
explained that he mad voted no 10 con'
sequence OF the pair being withdrawn
Since that time a telegram has been
received from Judge Green, holding
him to the pair, and be wished to recall
bis vote. This changed the result Of
the motion to reconsider, and, pending
a wraugle as to the status OF affairs, the
convention adjourned.
1t is therefore probable that the friendi
of the university msy rally again and
yet save the appropriation and removt
that institution from the Geld ofpolitics
The report on legislative department
was also taken up, and, on motion o
Mr.. Flood, the clause providing To-
quadrennisl sessions OF the Legislature
was amended 80 as to make the meeting
Of that body biennial, as now, by vot'
Of SO to 81. A fight for reconsideration
was on at the hour Of adjournment
This is the second time this matte
has been fought over and 1t Is quit
likely 10 come up again. Nearly every
important issue fought out before tn
convention has been reconsidered a
| least once.

AN OLD reader and for many years
an occasional correspondent OF the
Gszstte In letter in another column
again calls attention to the fact that
colored laborers are sadly needed Oh
farms 10 his part Of the State, and sug-
Sests that southern cities could be re-
lievsd OF the congestion OF colored
people If this class OF people would 60

ment which is offered them. Alexsn-
dria has for nearly forty years had
more than its quota OF iudolent blacks

from the effects of war times when the

THE FLATEsT man In the Maryland

presuming upon this, aspired to be

OF that body and his aspirations were
uipped 10 the bud. Then. ss 30 many
of his fellow townsmen do when they
can't have their owD way, he bolted and
undertook to form q combination with
the republicans, hut the latter not only
rebuffed him but some OF them even
went so far as 10 vote for Gen. Victor
Baugbman for State Treasurer, just be-
cause Mr.. straus opposed him. Com
mentiug on the affair, Gen. Baugh-
man said:
"The repeated statements published
"a to the determination OF Mr.. Strau;
TO carry the republican delegates with
him ia visiting his displeasure upon the
DEMOCRATIC managers so displeased
many OF the leading and influential re-
Uublicans at Annapolis that some were
found who unhesitatinRly decided to
administer a rebuke to MIR. Stratus fol

would follow him 10 oil his efforts to
disrupt the plans of the democratic

FRIDAY EVENING, JAN. II. 1902

YEARS AGO some surprise was eA-
dressed, and great many Virginlans
were at a loss to understand, why Mr.
Scott. of West Virginis, now United
States Senator from that State, should
be such potential factor In the dis
trlbntion OF the federal patronage 10
Virginia. Mr.. Scott was member Of
the national republican committee, and 10
the man who came to Virginia with that
$3.50 600 which Mr.. John s. Wise says
Mr.. Hanna sppOrtioned to this State
10 1895 to be distributed by the re-
publlcan executive committee among
the ten congressional districts thereof
Senator Scott was commissioner OF
internal revenue four years ago, and
the Virginia republican committee was
largely advised by him during the
amounting OF the federal officers at
that time. President Roosevelt mas
said more than once that he would
listen to what Senators, Representa-
tIvss and committees had to say, Dut
would himself make selections. With
John Sargent Wise, of New York, CIV
Ing the President the benefit OF ais
