VIRGINIA ELECTORAL BOARDS.
The Supreme Court OF the State sus-

The Supreme Court OF the State Sus-
taiBs the New Law.
RICHMOND, VA, May THE Supreme
Court of Appeals Of Virginia to-day rem
dered decision in the case of Frayser VS..
DeLarue. This was a case made up to
test the validity of the joint resolution
passed by the last Legislature providing
for the election by that body of electoral
boards for all cities and counties of the
State and investing these boards with
power TO appoint. The joint resolution
was not presented to the Governor for
approval, and in order to avoid any nl-
ture conflict between the political parties
in the State the case was made up as
stated. The decision is that the act was
not a legislative, but n ministerial act,
which did not require the concurrence Of
the executive, and was therefore valid.
This decision gives the election machin-
cry of the State almost wholly into the
hands of the Democratic party.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Representative
Holman says that the administration

"This is great big government" he
says, ''and a great many things have to

An improper appointment is public ca
lamity, and it is better to move slowly.
1t is much more important that good ap-
pointments should be made than to bother
about whether or not this or that man is
allowed to retain his Office a few months.
It is only question of few months, and
this delay is for the best public interest"

Plymouth with water is a house IN which
typhoid fever has prevailed for the last

at Plymouth about two weeks after the
stream was polluted. By this pollution
of the water supply, 1000 persons were
poisoned and about So have died with the
