the opening OF tue afternoon session OF ttte
convention, that the committee had held a
meeting during the ecess and unanimous
~ agreed to strike out section twenty

ton. Following is the section in question:

debt of Virginia proper to be borne by
The State of Virginia and West Virginia,
and shall provide that such sum as shall,
be received from West Virginia shall b.
applied to the payment of the public
debt of the State
The convention took up section one,
which was adopted without amendment,
ard reads:
Section 1. All property. except as here

whatsoever, whether State, local or munic-
ipal, shall be uniform upon the same
class Of subjects within the territorial
limits of the authority levying the tax
land shall be levied and collected under
general laws
Section two was finally adopted as per-
fected in Committee of the Whole after
long fight there. The only amendment
added in Committee Of the Whole is the
.en.e1ce wllhln the quotation marks ana
is as follows:
Sec. ,. Except as hereinafter provided,
al assessments of the value OF real estate
and tangible personal property shall be

Resolved, BY the convention tina the
following Rule be adopted to come IN as

"a When any article, section or clause
which has been adopted by the conven-
ton, has been rescinde I'd a new or amend:

to be incorporated in its Appropriate place

Mr.. Flood announced that In changing
his vote on the amendment offered by
Mr.. Thorn to section 22. relating to the
proportion of the public debt between
Virginia and West VI ginia. he had made
a mistake and dcsired unanimons con-
sent to have the vote withdrawn and the
question taken up again.
TIE DEBT QUESTION.
Mr.. Thorn again earnestly advocated
his amendment as necessary, since the
settlement of the debt TO make unambig-
suous the legal status Of Virginia in con-
nection with the portion of West Vir-
81 las obligation. He rev ewed the whole
public debt question and its settlement,
and claimed that to incorporate now the
exact language of the Underwood Con-
stit,ltion. which was adopted long prior
to the settlement of the debt. would be
extremely dangerous TO the interests of
Virginia. He thought it would be much
safer to strike the section out entirely
than to adopt it without an amendment.
Ex-Governor Cameron made a vigorous
reply to Mr.. Thorn. He also went into
the public debt settlement question, re-
ferring to readiuster and former days,
the Rid ..1ebe-ger basis of settlement etc.
He was Piled with question by Messrs.
Thorn and Flood, and answered all with
courtesy and ready argument
Ex-Attorney-Gene Ayers made a
brief speech, saying the legal status of
the rcla tons between Virginia and West
Virginia was thoroughly well established
and understood. He thought that either
the section should be stricken out or Mr..
Thorn s a amendment inserted.
Mr.. Meredith was afraid the amendment
would amount to reputation in some
form and asked that further cOnSldera-
ton be postponed, so that the committee
could have meeting and examine It,

Smells OF Cities.

A famous English artist insists that
each city has it's own peculiar odor;
that stranger can smell city-'the
great, blended odor of the entire city,
There is truth in his remarks. When
a stranger enters Munich, there is a
smell as of many breweries-a pecul-
lar, sweetish, yet pungent odor Of malt,
not at all unpleasant to beer drinker.
After a day on two the smell is not re-
marked, but after the stranger leaves
the city the smell Is distinct in his
memory; it exerts spell; it urges him
to drop his work, to take the next
steamship. We have not been in Mu-
mich for seventeen years, but that sweet
smell haunts us still. Paris has pc
culiarly individual odor; so has Lon
don, SO has Berlin, so has Dresden.
Boston no doubt has it's own smell,
which is highly respectable, rather
musty, with suspicion of old family

Mounting n HOrse,

A careful bicyclist learns to mount

emergency may arise at any moment,
says the London Chronicle. One would
think that the horseman would be
equally careful to provide for possibil-
tiles and accustom himself to mount
ing indifferently from the off side and
the near side. But If he were to ven-
ture to mount on the right side-whlch
is the wrong side-in hotel stable
yard the hostler would probably de-
mand the price of gallon as the
statutory fine, and the horse would col
lapse with surprise. What Is the
meaning of this convention? 1t ap-
pears in odd places. Not only does
the trick horse in the circus canter
from right to left, but the after dinner
wine passes the same way. 'ThE way
