Fourqurean, Temple & Co. One of the Features of the "Week of Wonders" in October. In speaking of the anticipated success of the Carnival, Director George Benson said last night: "While the movement to employ the Phinney Band will not take from the number of local bands we shall employ, it will add a, great musical and. spec- tacular feature such as the Pan-American is rejoiced to avail herself of. "The reputation of Phinney and nis band became national during his six months" engagement at the World s Co- lumbian Exposition when millions or people, representing every country. Its'- tened to his superb concerts. Since that time the band has played at nearly every large exposition, national and political convention, and' celebration. They navo given over five thousand concerts and traveled more than one hundred and eighty-five thousand miles. "Mr". Phinney well deserves th<? great reputation he has attained, and through his untiring efforts has brought this band to the foremost position in the hearts nf the American people. One secret of the excellence of PhlnneVs band lies in the f-^ct that every member is nn artist, many of whom' are capable of executing intricate, solos, nnd each member fully understands what is expected of tlv-m by their leader in every point of phrasing and tone. With a musical library aggro- gating several thousand pieces, and ex- perts • employed in arranging new selec- tions, with a band that can play difficult selections without rehearsal, Mr. Phin- ney is never at a loss to provide, on short notice, a unique and appropriate programme."

Benjamin Andrews, of the Uni- versity of Nebraska, lectured on "Tem- perance" at the University of Cliicago the other day and said that when Paul told Timothy to "take a little wine for your stcmach's sake," he meant that Timothy should drink real wine. "Our " Bible students," said Dr. An- drews, "have tried to prove that the wine spoken of in the Bible was not real wine, but this is not true. Wine means wine, both in tho Old and Xew Testa- ment. Timothy was a very ambitious man and consequently a severe worker. Paul advised him to take a little wine. Do not ngard Paul as intemperate on this account, for there was less danger then than now from intemperance, be- cause people 'were in the open air so much. The danger then was from im- pure water, as the wells were in the midst of dense populations and were not free from contamination. To-day we can get soda, water and there is no real need of drinking wine to avoid Impure wa- ter." Dr. Andrews declared that while a lit- tle alcohol might not be injurious, total al-stinenoe was the best and safest rulo for most people. He did not uphold drinking in general. He snid that the strenuous life of the present time was Intoxicating and that additional stimu- lant would be dangerous. * * * Under the caption, "Birmingham's Opportunity," the Savannah Xews prints an editorial calling atttntipn to the open- Ing that is presented in the Birmingham district for the manufacture of cotton ties. "There is no good reason," says the Savannah' paper, "why most of tho cotton ties needed for the cotton crop should not oe made 'in Birmingham, Ala.. and it would be to the interest of the cotton- growers to have them manufactured there. It is a safe asser- tion that the entire cotton interest would much rather have them made there than in the North, for two reasons. One Is that they cculd, in all probability, be made at less cost there, because iron and steel are cheaper, and the other is that there would be less danger of a strike in the mills there than in> the Pennsylvania mills." "The const innion and laws of ;io:iv- ly every labor organization make- it an offense punishable by expulsion for any member to violate a trade a#vee- lucnt, or even by subterfuge to evade any of its provisions. The oJlicers of the trade organizations of the pres- ent day recognize the great responsl- bility resting upon them, and they are few. indeed, who dare, even if they were so inclined, ruthlessly to disre- gard the sacred obligations of a con- tract. I know of many instances where contracts which were in eon- fiict with the constitution nnd laws of trade unions have been entered into with employers and yet the officers and members of tho irade organizations hav<> insisted" that the contracts su- perseded she constitution and laws and look' precedence of them: in fact. I recall several specific eases where tho members of a local union connected with a national organization went on strike for the purpose of enforcing a higher rate of wages than was pro- vided for in Hie contract made between Ihe national organization and an em- ployers" association, in which the ofn- cers of tiie national union promptly illled ihe places of the strikers with oilier men in order that the union could not b»- charced with or convicted of breach of faith."- That is sensible talk. Labor orgnnlzn.-; lions cannot expect to succeed if they do not stand religiously by- their con- iracts. President Shaffer dealt his organization a fatal blow when lie ad- vised tho men to violate their work- ing agreement, with their employers. STRIKES AND INTEGRITY. President John Mitchell, of the United Mine "Workers of America, hjis an article Iv the Independent, in which he suys: has been summoned on account of his sister's Illness-, is expected to-day. Two sailing parties, one on Saturday and the other <>n Monday, from Ware and North Rivers, respectively, were given by Mrs. William B. Lee and Judge James L. Taliaferro in honor of. Mr. John Crown, of Berryville. &ARRLL OF EELS. A Shark Caught in a Sturgeon Net in the Rappahannock. (Special. Dispatch to Xhu limes.) l'-KLiLHI,IiICKSi:iiiG, VA., Aug. 21.— A flsherman on. Potomac Creek sunk a barrel in tho creek, baiifcu for eels to be used in crabbing, a hole was bored in the top of the barrel about one and one- half inches in diameter and the bottom was covered with bait. H was then sunk in the water. Two da\b later, when an attempt was made to move the barrel it was found to be very heavy and on examination proved to bo filled with cols. It required the »;iforts of several men to get it out of the water. The eels were brought to this city and shipped to Philadelphia. They netted the fisherman $12. The Order of Red Jlfn of this city gave an excursion by ;i Weeins Line steamer down the Rappaliannock River to-day to Leedstown. A large party went and at'tor a pleasant day returned safely to-night. A large sum was real- ized for the treasurj <>l the Rod Men. Mayor AL G. Wiiiis returned* last night from a visit to th>> Buffalo Exposition and to-day presided in the Police Court as usual. Rev. Mr. Matsumoto, a native of Japan and an A. M. of Vanderbilt University, delivered an interisting address to-night at tlie Methodist Church upon Japan and Japanese customs. He was dressed in Japanese costume and a large crowd enjoyed the lecture. Mr. James L. Shelton, who represented .Louisa country in the hist Legislature, will practice Law in Richmond and re- side in Ashland. Mr. James Adams, a \v«l! known fish- erman on the Potomac River caught a shark in his sturgeon net. It weighed over 400 pounds and is said to be The largest ever caught so Irish r,p in iho river. When cut open the stomach of tho shark was found to contain a bowie knife, pocket knife and several coins. ROCKBRIDGE POLITICS. McDowell and Barclay Two Strong Rival Candidates for House. (Special Dispatch to The Times.) LEXINGTON, VA., Aug. 21.— The friends of Mr. Willham G. McDowell, of Lexington, are urging him to announce himself a candidate for nomination! to the Virginia House Sf Delegates from Rockbridge. Mr. McDowell has shown his interest in county affairs by the ad- vocacy of steps that have resulted in large savings of taxes. He broke up the interference of the United States Courts in the collections of revenue by the State and counties from bankrupt subjects by offering to make a test case under threat of imprisonment by Judge Rives if he attempted it, thus saving thousands of dollars annually to State and county. He broke up the pooling of bridge companies in Rockbridge. He was the originator and carried through the measure to t*x the Valley Railroad, thus saving about $1,500 annually to the county. Among the other candidates in the Held are Major K. H. Barclay, who served Rockbridge last session In the House of Delegates with distinction and was recog- nized as one of the leaders. He has a strong following with bright prospects of renomination. W. P.. Poindexter, of Natural Bridge District, has announced his candidacy for the nomination, as has also J. T. Sale, of South River District. The friends of J. H. Harper, of Kerr's Creek District, are urging him to allow his name to be used for the nomination. Altogether the race will be an interesting one. For Senatorial honors from this, the Seventh, District Colonel Robert Car^ett seems to have things all his way. He is an astute politician and a line all round man, and will make a worthy represent- ative for the district. Daring Feat of a Boy. l&pcdal Dispatch to Tho Times.)

The most Important matter which re- ceived Justice Crutchfield's attention yes- terday was the pond of stagnant water between Clay and Catharine and Hancock and Harrison, which is com- plained of as a nuisance and menace .o health by the olueials of the Board of Health. The matter had been partial, y discussed and considered before 'Squire Graves a few days ago. but Justice John grappled with the problem in vigorous style, and was in no humor to brook any delay or postponement. There Is a largo "amount of typhoid and other fever, in the western portion of the city, and Justice John is determined that ponds and stagnant places of this char- acter shall be drained and tilled up. So he called up all parties interested in the matter, among th'-m Mr. Jnhn J. King, the principal property owner; City Engineer Cutshaw. City Attorney Pol- lard. Dr. Oppenhimer, of the Board of Health; Superintendent Conn, of the Street-Cleaning Department; and var- ious lesser luminaries. After a full dis- rtission of the situation upon the state- ment of ,Pr. Oppenhimer that, the pond i? a positive menace to health, by ad- vice of Mr. Pollard, Justice Crutchfleld issued a formal order to Colonel Cut- shaw, instructing him to got a contractor have the menace abated and send the bill to the Council. If the Council re- fuses to pay it. a court mandamus will be issued ordering it po to rlo. Sn tho city fathers will probably look pleasant, and pay up as Justice John says they must.

The warrant acainst William Chalkley (coloreil). for selling bogus tickets to a negro excursion on the Southern n.-ii!- w&y, was withdrawn. $2.20 costs had to bo 'paid first though. The matter had been "fixed up." It seems thru although some seven hundred went on the ex- cursion not enough was realized from \h* sale of the genuine tickets t'> pay for the train. Robert Daniel and Edith Baily (both colored) cot ten days each for fighting, as did R. F. Hudgins for being drunk and disorderly. A CRUEL VETERINARY.

Doyl., «< Nor- The members of the Constitutional Convention have returned to resume their labors, and we hope that they have been refreshed by their resting spell. They have had the opportunity lo confer with their constituents and we doubt no; that they are in all re- spects in a better condition to address themselves to th'j difficult problems be- fore them and to solve them wisely. II seems to us that the thing to do i? to take hold of the most difficult and the ii)'>st important problems first and finally dispose of them. The questions <i!' iiiinor importance can afford to wait. The convention is not. a. parti- san body, but it is largely composed of Democrats, and these Democrats do not want to supply the Republicans with campaign material by prolonging the uncertainty as to the convention's attitude towards ihe suffrage ques- tion. Km this will not fool anybody. So lone: as ihe neproes are permitted to vote.' they will be in evidence on elec- tion day. and they will vote solidly with the Republican party. The Re- publican party is hound up with the negro, and so lons jis that is the case, that party lias no chance of success in Virginia. Lei the Republicans make :i fight It will only serve to arouse the Democrats and bring out a full vote for Montngue. .Willard and Anderson- Tiio Republicans had a great deal of fun in Roanoke yesterday and they shouted and disputed and strove vrlth one .-mother for the honors as though they tliought they had a fighting chance In Virginia. They have nomi- nated a ticket and adopted a. platform and they :ire poinj; to make* a fight. It is )o lie noted, too. that the convention was composed almost, entirely of white men and the negro cut very little iig- ure in the proceedin.es. THE REPUBLICANS.

They seem to refute the theory of some thinkers that the haste and competition of modern life have a tendency to increase insanity. The total number* of lunatics under the eyes of the commissioners on January 1, 1001, was 107.944. This was an increase of 1.333 on the figures for the previous New Year's Day, but compares favorably with an average annual increment of 2.115 during the decade which ended with December 31 last. \u2666 * • "That mob scene was handled with splendid effect," said the critic.

Dewtws Wood plant, and now comes the Inter- esting report that the holders of muni- cipal bonds of that city are seriously considering a proposition to apply 10 the court for an order restraining ibe company from .such action, cm tne ground that this property is in part pledged to the bondholders and that to remove it would be to in jute the town, and therefore to impair the con- tract of the bondholders. This is a novel proposition and we have no idea that it would stand be- fore sl court of justice, but the New York Times ivdiscussing the question suggests that it is possible thai under some conditions such a restraining or- der would be granted by the court. "Should it appear," the Times pro- ceeds, "that Melveespqrt has establish- ed a claim upon the owners of the Wood plant, for its permanence as a feature of the local Industrial develop- ment, the resulting litigation Would have interest for a great many thou- sand manufacturing concerns who have chosen their Ideations with ref- erence to the amount of Ideal capital \u25a0which could be enlisted, the donation of free land, exemption Croin local taxation for a term of years, or other advantages deemed attractive by boards of irade." The Times thinks it. questionable whether plants located under such conditions can be removed to more advantageous places at lho pleasure of their owners, provided the holders of municipal securities object to such removal as Impairing their value. "Without going into any discussion of this question, the suggestion is in- tprosting as showing the doubtful ex- pediency, generally speaking, of resort- ing to these various devices of bring- ing new industries Into a community. It is certainly a mistaken policy, as this 'paper has always contended, for any community to attempt in promote new industries by exempting them from taxation for a term of years. It is violative of the first principle of taxation to do this. it. is contrary to public policy, it 'is injustice to tax- payers ;)ud to enterprises already iv operation and moreover it is danger- ous for any concern to put itself under such obligations to the community in which itlocates. The best inducement from this point of view which :>ny community can offer to investors is a uniform rate of taxation, a fair and just law that taxes equally and uni- formly all actual property once and only once, and the protect ion of the law to all investments of whatever character. The community that will guarantee Ihis will do all -that it can do by law to attract investment from the outside. A SUFFRAGE HINT. We have received from a prominent Virginia Democrat a suggestion coti- cerning the suffrage clause of the forthcoming Constitution which is worthy of consideration. Firs* of all he calls attention to the fact that what- ever may be said of the other pledges of the Democratic Convention which met in Norfolk in 1900 and committed the parly to the calling of a ('oustna- tional Convention, one promise cannot be ignored. The demand of the white voters, says he. especially those outside of the "Black Bell," that in framing a new Constitution no white voter >]y.i\\ be disfranchised, is so widespread that failure to keep the promise "not 10 disfranchise any citizen of Virginia who had the right to vote prior to ]S<">l or the descendant of such person" would be fatal both to the Democratic party and to any instrument that tho Constitutional Convention may sub- mit to the people- The Republicans of Virginia are more active than they have been for a long time and are preparing for a fight on the presumption that the suf- frage clause of the new Constitution will give groat dissatisfaction and drive many white voters into ilie Re- publican ranks. It is a delicate task, therefore, that the Constitutional Con- vention has before it. and the delegates dealing with it must be as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves. Our corrspondent's suggestion is as follows: Exclude (1) idiots and lunatics; (2) paupers under certain restrictions; (3) criminals convicted of certain of- fences; (4) those coming under the con- demnation of the anti-dueling law. Require of those otherwise qualified (1) a residence of two years within the State, one year within the comity, city or town and six months within the election district or precinct, with the usual proviso as to soldiers, seamen. etc.; (2) the payment, on or before the first day of April preceding any elec- tion of the capitation tax and of all property tuxes assessed against the citizen and which lie had an opportun- ity of paying prior to that date. Having made these provisions, our correspondent thinks that the conven- tion should not endanger them with any "entangling alliances" with the "grandfather" or other clause of like kind. He says that the convention may, and doubtless should, embody such a clause, but in such a manner and so placed as not to jeopardize the «*ilu*r Motions of t'ja article, should The Paris correspondent of "The Lon- don Times" tells a pretty anecdote of the Kmprc.^s Frederick. Some years af- ter the F]ranco-Grerman) -war 'military maneuvres were being-- conducted on the other sit-e of the frontier, and on one particular day a grand review of cavalry was to be held. The troops were drawn up. awaiting the arrival of the Emperor William 1., when suddenly the Crown Princess rode on to the ground and proceeded to the spot where the military attaches were located. This was the first occasion since the war of ]STO on which the French army had been rep- resented at manoeuvres in Germans'. The delicate mission hud been intrusted to Colonel Grandln, who afterward became a general of division, and who. as was but natural, was feeling rather lost amid all this assemblage. Addressing Herself- to the gallant soldier, the Crown Prin- cess said: "Colonel, I am particularly glad to see you to-day." and. as he bowed low without understanding? the point of the remark, she added: "Yes. this is the anniversary of the fall of Sebastopol. and on that day our two armies won a great victory together." • * * "\\ nere the speech is corrupted the mind is also. — Seneca. » « Pr.

One of the Features of the "Weekof Wonders" in

October.In speaking of the anticipated success

of the Carnival, Director George Benson

said last night:"While the movement to employ the

Phinney Band will not take from the

number of local bands we shall employ,

it will add a, great musical and. spec-

tacular feature such as the Pan-Americanis rejoiced to avail herself of.

"The reputation of Phinney and nis

band became national during his six

months" engagement at the World s Co-

lumbian Exposition when millions orpeople, representing every country. Its'-

tened to his superb concerts. Since that

time the band has played at nearly every

large exposition, national and politicalconvention, and' celebration. They navogiven over five thousand concerts and

traveled more than one hundred andeighty-five thousand miles.

"Mr". Phinney well deserves th<? greatreputation he has attained, and through

his untiring efforts has brought this band

to the foremost position in the hearts nf

the American people. One secret of the

excellence of PhlnneVs band lies in the

f-^ct that every member is nn artist,

many of whom' are capable of executingintricate, solos, nnd each member fully

understands what is expected of tlv-mby their leader in every point of phrasing

and tone. With a musical library aggro-gating several thousand pieces, and ex-perts

•employed in arranging new selec-tions, with a band that can play difficultselections without rehearsal, Mr. Phin-ney is never at a loss to provide, onshort notice, a unique and appropriateprogramme."

CURRENT TOPICS.Dr. E. Benjamin Andrews, of the Uni-

versity of Nebraska, lectured on "Tem-perance" at the University of Cliicago

the other day and said that when Paultold Timothy to "take a little wine foryour stcmach's sake," he meant thatTimothy should drink real wine.

"Our"Bible students," said Dr. An-

drews, "have tried to prove that thewine spoken of in the Bible was not realwine, but this is not true. Wine meanswine, both in tho Old and Xew Testa-ment. Timothy was a very ambitiousman and consequently a severe worker.Paul advised him to take a little wine.Do not ngard Paul as intemperate onthis account, for there was less danger

then than now from intemperance, be-cause people 'were in the open air somuch. The danger then was from im-pure water, as the wells were in themidst of dense populations and were notfree from contamination. To-day we canget soda, water and there is no real needof drinking wine to avoid Impure wa-ter."Dr. Andrews declared that while a lit-

tle alcohol might not be injurious, totalal-stinenoe was the best and safest rulofor most people. He did not upholddrinking in general. He snid that thestrenuous life of the present time wasIntoxicating and that additional stimu-lant would be dangerous.

* * *Under the caption, "Birmingham's

Opportunity," the Savannah Xews prints

an editorial calling atttntipn to the open-Ing that is presented in the Birminghamdistrict for the manufacture of cottonties. "There is no good reason," saysthe Savannah' paper, "why most of thocotton ties needed for the cotton cropshould not oe made 'in Birmingham,Ala.. and it would be to the interestof the cotton- growers to have themmanufactured there. It is a safe asser-tion that the entire cotton interest wouldmuch rather have them made therethan in the North, for two reasons. OneIs that they cculd, in all probability,be made at less cost there, because ironand steel are cheaper, and the other isthat there would be less danger of astrike in the mills there than in> thePennsylvania mills."

"The const innion and laws of ;io:iv-ly every labor organization make- itan offense punishable by expulsion forany member to violate a trade a#vee-lucnt, or even by subterfuge to evadeany of its provisions. The oJlicersof the trade organizations of the pres-ent day recognize the great responsl-bility resting upon them, and they arefew. indeed, who dare, even if theywere so inclined, ruthlessly to disre-gard the sacred obligations of a con-tract. I know of many instanceswhere contracts which were in eon-fiict with the constitution nnd lawsof trade unions have been entered intowith employers and yet the officers andmembers of tho irade organizationshav<> insisted" that the contracts su-perseded she constitution and laws andlook' precedence of them: in fact. Irecall several specific eases where thomembers of a local union connectedwith a national organization went onstrike for the purpose of enforcing ahigher rate of wages than was pro-vided for in Hie contract made betweenIhe national organization and an em-ployers" association, in which the ofn-

cers of tiie national union promptlyillled ihe places of the strikers withoilier men in order that the union couldnot b»- charced with or convicted ofbreach of faith."-

That is sensible talk. Labor orgnnlzn.-;lions cannot expect to succeed if they

do not stand religiously by- their con-iracts. President Shaffer dealt hisorganization a fatal blow when lie ad-vised tho men to violate their work-ing agreement, with their employers.

United Mine "Workers of America,hjis an article Iv the Independent, inwhich he suys:

has been summoned on account of hissister's Illness-, is expected to-day.

Two sailing parties, one on Saturdayand the other <>n Monday, from Wareand North Rivers, respectively, were

JUSTICE JOHN'S COURT.

Prompt Action ia Connection With a Menaceto the City's Health.

The most Important matter which re-ceived Justice Crutchfield's attention yes-

terday was the pond of stagnant

water between Clay and Catharine and

Hancock and Harrison, which is com-plained of as a nuisance and menace .ohealth by the olueials of the Board ofHealth. The matter had been partial,y

discussed and considered before 'Squire

Graves a few days ago. but Justice Johngrappled with the problem in vigorousstyle, and was in no humor to brookany delay or postponement. There Isa largo "amount of typhoid and otherfever, in the western portion of the city,

and Justice John is determined thatponds and stagnant places of this char-acter shall be drained and tilled up.

So he called up all parties interestedin the matter, among th'-m Mr. Jnhn J.King, the principal property owner; City

Engineer Cutshaw. City Attorney Pol-

lard. Dr. Oppenhimer, of the Board ofHealth; Superintendent Conn, of theStreet-Cleaning Department; and var-ious lesser luminaries. After a full dis-rtission of the situation upon the state-ment of ,Pr. Oppenhimer that, the pond

vice of Mr. Pollard, Justice Crutchfleldissued a formal order to Colonel Cut-shaw, instructing him to got a contractorhave the menace abated and send thebill to the Council.

The members of the ConstitutionalConvention have returned to resumetheir labors, and we hope that they

have been refreshed by their restingspell. They have had the opportunity

lo confer with their constituents andwe doubt no; that they are in all re-spects in a better condition to addressthemselves to th'j difficult problems be-

fore them and to solve them wisely. IIseems to us that the thing to do i? to

take hold of the most difficult and theii)'>st important problems first andfinally dispose of them. The questions

<i!' iiiinor importance can afford to

wait. The convention is not. a. parti-san body, but it is largely composedof Democrats, and these Democratsdo not want to supply the Republicanswith campaign material by prolongingthe uncertainty as to the convention'sattitude towards ihe suffrage ques-tion.

Km this willnot fool anybody. Solone: as ihe neproes are permitted tovote.' they willbe in evidence on elec-tion day. and they will vote solidlywith the Republican party. The Re-publican party is hound up with thenegro, and so lons jis that is the case,

that party lias no chance of successin Virginia. Lei the Republicans make:ifight Itwillonly serve to arouse theDemocrats and bring out a full vote

"The London Telepraph" has been scan-ning the lunacy statistics of Eigland

for 1900, and draws encouraging conclu-sions therefrom. They seem to refutethe theory of some thinkers that thehaste and competition of modern lifehave a tendency to increase insanity.The total number* of lunatics under theeyes of the commissioners on January 1,1001, was 107.944. This was an increaseof 1.333 on the figures for the previousNew Year's Day, but compares favorablywith an average annual increment of

2.115 during the decade which ended withDecember 31 last.

AN INTERESTING CASE.

The United States Steel Corporation,

as already reported In the press dis-

patches, Las determined to removefrom McKeesport, Pa., the W. Dewtws

Wood plant, and now comes the Inter-esting report that the holders of muni-cipal bonds of that city are seriously

considering a proposition to apply 10

the court for an order restraining ibecompany from .such action, cm tne

ground that this property is in part

pledged to the bondholders and thatto remove it would be to injute thetown, and therefore to impair the con-tract of the bondholders.

This is a novel proposition and we

have no idea that it would stand be-fore sl court of justice, but the NewYork Times ivdiscussing the questionsuggests that it is possible thai undersome conditions such a restraining or-

der would be granted by the court.

"Should it appear," the Times pro-ceeds, "that Melveespqrt has establish-ed a claim upon the owners of theWood plant, for its permanence as a

feature of the local Industrial develop-ment, the resulting litigation Wouldhave interest for a great many thou-sand manufacturing concerns whohave chosen their Ideations with ref-erence to the amount of Ideal capital

\u25a0which could be enlisted, the donationof free land, exemption Croin localtaxation for a term of years, or otheradvantages deemed attractive by

boards of irade."The Times thinks it. questionable

whether plants located under suchconditions can be removed to moreadvantageous places at lho pleasureof their owners, provided the holdersof municipal securities object to suchremoval as Impairing their value.

"Without going into any discussionof this question, the suggestion is in-tprosting as showing the doubtful ex-pediency, generally speaking, of resort-ing to these various devices of bring-ing new industries Into a community.

It is certainly a mistaken policy, asthis 'paper has always contended, forany community to attempt in promotenew industries by exempting themfrom taxation for a term of years. Itis violative of the first principle oftaxation to do this. it. is contrary topublic policy, it 'is injustice to tax-payers ;)ud to enterprises already ivoperation and moreover it is danger-ous for any concern to put itself undersuch obligations to the community inwhich itlocates. The best inducementfrom this point of view which :>ny

community can offer to investors is auniform rate of taxation, a fair andjust law that taxes equally and uni-formly all actual property once andonly once, and the protect ion of thelaw to all investments of whatevercharacter. The community that willguarantee Ihis will do all -that it cando by law to attract investment fromthe outside.

A SUFFRAGE HINT.We have received from a prominent

Virginia Democrat a suggestion coti-

cerning the suffrage clause of theforthcoming Constitution which isworthy of consideration. Firs* of allhe calls attention to the fact that what-ever may be said of the other pledgesof the Democratic Convention whichmet in Norfolk in 1900 and committedthe parly to the calling of a ('oustna-

tional Convention, one promise cannotbe ignored. The demand of the whitevoters, says he. especially those outsideof the "Black Bell," that in framing anew Constitution no white voter >]y.i\\

be disfranchised, is so widespread thatfailure to keep the promise "not 10disfranchise any citizen of Virginiawho had the right to vote prior to ]S<">lor the descendant of such person"would be fatal both to the Democraticparty and to any instrument that thoConstitutional Convention may sub-mit to the people-

The Republicans of Virginia aremore active than they have been fora long time and are preparing for afight on the presumption that the suf-frage clause of the new Constitutionwill give groat dissatisfaction anddrive many white voters into ilie Re-publican ranks. It is a delicate task,therefore, that the Constitutional Con-vention has before it. and the delegatesdealing with it must be as wise asserpents and as harmless as doves.Our corrspondent's suggestion is asfollows:

Exclude (1) idiots and lunatics; (2)paupers under certain restrictions; (3)criminals convicted of certain of-fences; (4) those coming under the con-demnation of the anti-dueling law.

Require of those otherwise qualified(1) a residence of two years withinthe State, one year within the comity,city or town and six months within theelection district or precinct, with theusual proviso as to soldiers, seamen.etc.; (2) the payment, on or before thefirst day of April preceding any elec-tion of the capitation tax and of allproperty tuxes assessed against thecitizen and which lie had an opportun-ity of paying prior to that date.

Having made these provisions, ourcorrespondent thinks that the conven-tion should not endanger them withany "entangling alliances" with the"grandfather" or other clause of likekind. He says that the conventionmay, and doubtless should, embody

such a clause, but in such a mannerand so placed as not to jeopardize the«*ilu*r Motions of t'ja article, should

The Paris correspondent of "The Lon-don Times" tells a pretty anecdote ofthe Kmprc.^s Frederick. Some years af-ter the F]ranco-Grerman) -war 'militarymaneuvres were being-- conducted onthe other sit-e of the frontier, and onone particular day a grand review ofcavalry was to be held. The troops weredrawn up. awaiting the arrival of theEmperor William 1., when suddenly theCrown Princess rode on to the groundand proceeded to the spot where themilitary attaches were located. This wasthe first occasion since the war of ]STO onwhich the French army had been rep-resented at manoeuvres in Germans'. Thedelicate mission hud been intrusted toColonel Grandln, who afterward becamea general of division, and who. as wasbut natural, was feeling rather lost amidall this assemblage. Addressing Herself-to the gallant soldier, the Crown Prin-cess said: "Colonel, Iam particularlyglad to see you to-day." and. as he bowedlow without understanding? the point ofthe remark, she added: "Yes. this is theanniversary of the fall of Sebastopol. andon that day our two armies won a greatvictory together."• * *
