.BAPTlSTS And
NEGRO PROBLEM
Will Take Matter Before Gene.
raj Observation-Disclosures
Adopted Yesterday.

AS anticipated by this paper tho Bap-
list Minister'S Conference OF Richmond
will 20 before the General Association OF
Virginia. which meets this week in Staun-
ton, and ask for action by that body
looking to more thorough and eHectlve
work by the denomination toward solving
tho negro problem OF the South. The
conference met yesterday and without
discussion unanimously ADOPTED the FOL
Loving series of resolutions presented BY
tho subcommittee appointed week ago:
Granting that the negro problem Is
insoluble. It remains true that the pres.
ont situation can be aggravated. and thht
II can be bettercd. Radical opinions
which inname violent passions are unqtes-
tionably doing harm. 1t is equally clear
that conservative counsels and certain
practical measures. prompted BY tho
spirit OF Christ, can do good. In tins
crisis the position OF the white Baptiss
OF the South Is unique and strategic.
"Q.) OF those among the negroes pro-
Tossing Christianity doubtless majority
belong to the Baptist denomination.
"23 The further fact that 1t has been
our uniform policy as denomination to
help tho colored people morally and re-
lgiously, makes more easy our access to
their confidence and cooperation.
"(S.) Religion Is the only force without
handicap In its attempts to uphtt the
negro.
IF the polt clan touches the race Issue,
the question OF the political supremacy
Of the whites is Immediately raised II
the educator enters the ne,d. the suspi-
cion OF social equality Is met. II tho
economist deals with the negro problem,
the menace OF Industrial competition Is
sprung.
"The church OF Jesus Christ alone,
among al agencies neither excites pre-
JUDGE nor encounters a doubt as to lis
bounden duty to make more moral these
millions OF colored people dwelling IN tho
midst of us and affecting our every I'M
terest Here is a supreme task-we had
almost said supreme test-for our re-
ligion.
''Resolved. therefore. That this confer
ence request the General Association OF
Virginia Baftists, at staunton. to bring
to the attention of the Southern Baptist
Convention. at Nashville, .he advisabillty
OF appointing a committee OF the w'sest

HARD WORK OF
THE REVISERS
Colonel Cation Talks and Elk.
plains What Has Been
Done by Them.

Before leaving for his home In Alexan-
dria last night, Colonel James r. Cation.
of the Revision Committee OF the Legis-
lature, gave out the following interview
on the work of the body:
Our work is practically completed and
In the hands of tho public printer. We
expect to have our report and all bills
which, in the Judgment of the commit
tee, 1t Is necessary for the General AS
sembly to pass to conform the statutes
to the new Constitution, on the desks
OF the members of tho General Assembly
when that body convenes on November
10th.
The committee has not re-codified tho
laws of the State for two reasons: First,
the time allowed us within which to ac-
complish the work was wholly INSULT
Client: and, second, the scope OF the
resolution, under which 1t was acting,
did not authorize It. While a re-codifi-
alton Of the laws would in many re-
spects be desirable, I think 1t is the
unanimous opinion Of the committee that
1t is inadvlsable to codlfy until tho laws
passed have been fairly tested and the
state Of the law under the new Consti-
tuition settled.
The work OF the committee has. there
fore. been confined to revising the stat
ltes already passed by the General AS
semblY, and suggesting such amendments
as are necessary in the laws of the
Commonwealth to conform them to the
new Constitution. This work has In
volved nm examination Of every section
OF the Code and all amendments thereof
and acts OF general nature SUPPLE
mental thereto since 1857. This has been
a very laborious task, and has received
the patient, faithful and careful atten-
ton Of each member of tho com nittee,
and we have found 1t difficult to accom-
nlish this task within the time allowed
us.
We have prepared bills for the action
Of tho General Assembly containing such
amendments and changes in the law as,
In the Judgment OF the committee. arc
necessary to carry out the purpose OF
the resolution under which 1t was acting,
and It's report will briefly state the rea-
sons for the changes suggested.
The General Assembly will find every
moment OF its time occupied In the con-
sideration of these bills. and there will
be no time for the consideration Of out
side matters. there being over two hum
dred bills recommended by the commit
tee. Ee ~ - sztELs
The committee have been greatly aided
in their labors by the valuable services

experience In legislative matters and
whose connection with the Constitutional
