FIGHT OVER SUFFRAGE.
Convention has Decks About
Cleared for Action.

Richmond, Va. Feb. as
The constitutional convention
has about cleared its decks
ready for the suffrage fight.
This will be the last battle oil
the f oifss and md. trying campaign,
except that over the nio0Ssa
question OF submitting or pro-
claiming the constitution. 1t
will open up early next week.
Practically everything else has
been settled, and this problem
which was first TO engage at
tention, will be the last one
solved. The discussion of the
subject may consume only a
few days or it may extend
through two or three weeks.
There seems good reason
for the hope that the conven
ton may practically complete
its work by March IS. The
suffrage report will be, as stat
ed above, the last one to be
passed upon and the general
impression seems to be that
when that has been done the
body will take a recess for
several weeks, during which
the committee on final revis-
ion will do its important work
of revising the various articles
so as to bring them into har-
mony,
Then the convention will
reassemble, pass upon the
work as whole, and deter
mine whether the constitution
shall be submitted or pro-
claimed. There is thought to
be little doubt that it will be
proclaimed.

FRIDAY. MARCH Z 1902.
-
The Tillman McLaurin cpl
sode in the United States
senate a few days ago was
very interesting to the people
". vino were f fr6t directly con-
cerned in it. Mr.. Till,iiilan, the
senior Senator from South
Carolina, made a grieovus
charge against his colleague
Mr.. McLaurin, that his vote in
faS5f 81 ratification d;satioa of q cer-
tain treaty had been obtaineao
by undue influence, namely the
promise 81 the control of fed-
eral patronage in South Caro-
lima. To this charge McLaurin
gave the lie direct whereupon
the pitchfork statesman rose
and dealt the speaker blow
that brought the blood from
McLaurin's nose and paralys-
ed the Senate. The two angry
belllcose senators were soon
separated, and as soon as they
J realized the gravity of their
Fence against the dignity and
OF the Senate, were
to apologize z hey were
placed in contempt and
rived of their vote anc
rights in the Senate, until such
time as the Senate should re-
store them. The Senate pass,
ed resolutions Of censure, anc
then resto red the two Senators
to their former status.
All we see in it for us is
this, if the charges which Mr..
Tillnan makes are true, then
McLaurin ought to be retired
from Senate by the honest
people.o South Carolina, and
on the other hand, if they are
not true, Tillman ought to be
in some way efectually silenc-
ed. We do not, however, be-
lieve he is the kind of man to
make such fearful charges,
unless he thought he was JUS
tilted in doing so. We confess
we are glad there are such
men as Tillman in the Senate,
men who are fearless and who
talk out boldly and plainly,
and are not afraid to call a
spade spade; but it is abso-
lutely necessary that they
should apply the good old rule
.ot Davy Crockett's ''be sure
you're right, then go ahead, ;"
if they are to accomplish any
thing for the people. The An
gean stables Of the north wing
of the capitol may need clean
out and Mr.. Tillman and his
,pitchfork may. be the means
to that end.
