The New Constitution.

The Spirit of the Valley, Republican
newspaper, reproduees an article from
the Valley virsinian. Democratic news
paper, which severely criticlses the new
Constitution, and adds the statement that

Valley Virginian says. This is Demo-
cratic testimony" concludes the Spirit
of the Valley. "as to the manner In
which the Democrats have treated the
voters"
The complaints which these Democratic
newspapers make against the Constitu-
ton is that by reason of the provision
requiring the poll tax to be paid In adj
vance as a prerequisite to voting many
white men have been DISTINGUISHED. But

white men In Virginia, otherwise quail

GENTLY high to take the precautlon to

In the course of conversation with a
strong supporter Of Senator German for
the romir1tion this morning, called his
attention to the fact that every mem
bor Of the Virginia delegation, with one
exception, WAS for the nomination of
Judge Parker.
They are for Parker now" he said,
and smiled significantly. There Will be

assurances given the convention at Rich
nond by Senator Daniel, Senator Mar
tin, Mr.. Glass and others that the senti-

Parker, would appear to make 1t certain
that the vote of the State Will be cast
for the New YORKER. Senator Daniel
said here last night that the delegation
was assuredly for Parker.
But insg spite of all assurances that
the Virginia delegation fayors the notni-
Eut.or of Judge Parker, there Is no doubt
that the German people are banking
upon being able to get the twenty-four
votes from the State. under the unit rule.
They base their hopes largely upon the
fact that Virginia has all along been
classed as a German State antil COM
paratively recently. Both Senator Daniel
and Senator Martin have been mentioned
as warmly for the nomination Of Senator
German, but they have each corrected the
statement printed in Northern papers
that they were for the nomination OF

Iefferson's Energy.

It is reported from washington that
5000 copies of the Jefferson Bible" will
soon have been printed by the govern
ment printing office, and will be dis
t,ibuted according to the provisions OF
the act of Congress- authorizing the re-
production. The Senate will receive 5000
copies and the House 5000 copies.
This curious book Is made up Of cut
tinss selected by Mr. Jefferson from the
authorized version, In making his Sc
lcct!ons he eliminated all miracles and
in other ways wrote at variance with
the accented traditions ofRthe clergy Of
all seets, The original book Is IN a very

The work is valuable merely as a
curiosity, but It serves to show what an
| indefatigable worker Mr.. Jefferson was.
Besides attending to his numerous pub
lie duties, he devoted u great deal Of his
time to literature and music and art,
and It is probable that no public man OF
his time or Of any time wrote more long
letters with his own hand than Thomas
jefferson wrote. That such busy man
should also have found time to make a
| revised edition of the Bible is another
tribute to his genius and energy.
