THE Norfolk VIrqiRidn estimates that
there is coal enough in the mines re-
Gently opened in Pocahontas county,
West Virginia, to supply the demands
of the North for 2OO years to come. Nor
folk is building great hopes on the al
legged benefits she isto derive from these
Poeahontas mines, which are owned by
the Norfolk and Western railroad. 1t
is expected that the European bound
steamships from the most southerly
ports, instead of going to New York or
Boston to coal before crossing the
Atlantic, as they have formerly done,
will accept the friendly hospitality ex-
tended them by Cape Charles and Cape
Henry, and enter Hampton roads or
Elizabeth river, where they can get all
their needed stores cheaper than they
can be obtained at the Northern ports.
Whatever benefits Newport News and
Lambert's Point, which will be the
coaling stations, is expected to benefit
Norfolk, and it probably will.

THE President has at last found a
Postmaster General, and thus closed a
very unSCemly scramble.
Twenty years ago the man who
would of himself, or through friends,
make formal application to the Presi-
dent for position in his Cabinet,
would be considered to have offended
all the proprieties. But in these times,
if there is Cabinet place to be filled,
there is just as much scramble for it as
for any Of the minor places in the git
of the President. Men will make d.
rect application to the President for
themselves, and will send their friends
in droves to appeal to him.
Probably these remarks do not apply
TO the anpOintee, Judge GRESHAM, and
it is a point in his favor if they do not.
The country will be better satisfied with
the Presidents selection because Of its
being made outside of the clans that
were scheming for il.

JUDGE PERGUSON'S DATES.

Some controversy has arisen about
the number Of days intervening be-
tween the second Tuesday Of October,
1884, and the Tuesday after the first
Monday of November, 1854.
Judge FERGUSON computes q days,
and as the law specifies p days after
the vote upon Unconstitutional amend
ment as the period when the Governor
may ascertain and declare the result, it
is claimed, and the Judge claims, that
if there are only q days this is conelu-
sive and makes an election in Novem-
Der impractieable and impossible.
The Judge is right in his computa-
ton, but it does not follow that this Is
conclusive of the controversy.
sThere would be % days between the
two dates, but for the fact that 1884 is
leap year, and there being one more
day in February, it happens to make
weeks difference In thenumber OF days
between the dates in question by put
ting the first day Of October on We'd
nesday instead of on Tuesday as 1t
would be if there were 2S days in Feb
ruary.
But we cannot agree with Judge
FERGUSON when he attempts to set up
this fact as conclusive of the contro-
versy about holding q second election
ID November.
The bill which makes provision for
submitting this Neutrality-suspicious.

THE venerable PETER COOPER, of
New York, has succumbed to one OF
the most trying seasons experienced,
perhaps, during his long life.
Having braved the frosts Of 81 win
ters, he was not sufficient for the unre-
lenting tenacity of the present season,
and that insidious disease; pneumonia,
which has proved so fatal to the old and
feeble in health, this winter and spring,
claimed him as its victim.
A very long, eventful and useful life
has thus closed, and New York, rs well
as the country, has lost one Of the most
esteemed citizens and a model man Of
The age.

THE New York Sun lays down the
platform for 1884 thus, ~ "A tariff for
revenue only; - and the tariff the
only source of revenue" and upon this
says:
This will meet the views Of those who
dislike protection, AMI 1t will meet the
views of those who fear free trade. The
revenue tariff will impose an average Of
forty 10 forty five per cent. duty upon all
imported goods; and these duties will be
levied not for the sake of protection, but
for the sake of revenue. Then We may all

reform may be won by the Democracy in

A Public School Building.

Deer Lodge Is certainly in need of larger
and better public school building, and the
necessity is one that is constantly increasing.
With the primary department so overcrowd-
ed that pupils can attend but half the usual
time, with the intermediate department so
filled that pure air is an impoSsibility, with
the other rooms fairly full, it il evident to all
who consider the subject that something
must soon be done to remedy this matter or
that the efficiency of the schools will be Sc
riously affected. Deer Lodge needs ant
should have brick school building, one that
will be sufficient for the ord mary increase Of
our school population for at least five years.
1t would hardly be possible to build and pay
for such house Immediately; indeed, 1t
would be unfair to make the present tax
payers bear all the burden. But by the issu-
ance OF bonds payable in four or five years
and the sale of the present frame buildings, a
$40 900 school house might be built without
any severe strain on the school finances, and
the erection of such building would add ina
terially to the value of the school system and
be strong additional inducemcnt to fami-
lies to locate in the town. An act of the
Legislature will be necessary to give the
district authority to issue bonds, and we
would suggest to our representatives ia the
Legislature that they draft, introduce, and
urge the passage of such bill, making it
subject, of course, to the decision of the
qualified electors Of the district. The matter
could then be submitted to the people at a
special election, and we have little doubt as
TO the result.

New Years Day.

New Years Day of 1888 was bright, bat
cold. The mercury in the thermometers
hardly got above zero all day long, and the
holiday was fine excuse for keeping as near
as possible to warm fires. Few ladies had
announced their intention to keep open
house, but as the day arrived others made
preparations for that purpose, and nearly all
were willing to receive their gentlemen
friends and exchange the happy salutations
of the incoming year. Some eight or ten
gentlemen started on the rounds and others,
seeing the pleasure of 1t, fell into the process
sion, until the number who made more or
less calls reached twenty-five or thirty
These enjoyed themselves so well
that we are confident the custom will be
more thoroughly revived next year. The
ladies were all in their happiest moods, and
their attentions would have melted the most
obdurate heart. As many Of the young gen.
tlemen had very susceptible hearts instead
we may look for some happy consequences
The festivities of the day wound up with q
pleasant dance at O'Neill's hall and some
private social gatherings.

Prisoner Escapcd.

At 8 o'clock Thursday evening, Royal
Tousley, convicted Of k,and larceny and
serving seven year term in the peniten-
tiary, escaped through the fence. Tousiey
was one Of the men employed in A. J.
Davidson g. Co.'s saddlery shop, and 1t is
presumed escaped just after being released
from the shop. He is five feet nine and a
half inches high, weighs 165 pounds, and has
large scald mark on his back between the
shoulders.
Later advices state Tousley, who came FROM
wickss, was q years old. He was dressed
In stripes. He crossed the river on the ice
just south Of the prison, and il Is thought
would try to board the 7:15 train ut Race
Track. He had been permitted to leave the
harness shop while the men were washing.
and the guard says NO gong was rung from
the shop when he was let out In the yard, as
the prison rules require, and which IL sig
nal for the yard guard to keep the man In
sight.
