Rulss Of tho Richmond Primary.

It II high time that the City Demo
cratic Committee were at work revising
our prlmary-election plan. The subject
win first have to be referred to the sub
committee on plans. aiid finally be acted
upon NY the entire committee. All this
allowing q reasonable time also for pub
lie discussion OF tho changes proposed
will take many weeks. In our judgment
the City Committee should meet this
week and give tho plan the attention that
its vast importance deserves.
The old plan should be 30 amended as
that the Judges at the large white pre-
clncts may have help In counting the
votes. Returns from all the precincts
ought to como In to the City Commit
tee nearly simultaneously. Whenever re-
turns from any one precinct are delayed
five or six hours after most OF the other
returns arc In, there are suspicious raiseu
that things are being fixed" Let us
remedy this fault in the old plan. The
Dispatch does not care much about the
details OF the arrangement, so that there
Is a proper division Of work at the large
white precincts-the precincts where the
Judges are always overworked on the
night following the day OF the primary.
The candidases have an interest in
seeing that some relief is given TO these
overworked judges and clerks. and we
trust that they will give this matter some
thought and aid the committee with sug-
gestions.
The time has passed when the peo-
pie will chcerfully consent TO have four
or FIVE hundred voters tickets Thrown
OUT OF the count on trifling TECHNICAL
ties. let us put q stop to this prac-
tice. Let US count the voters vote for
every office as TO which his will Is clearly
expressed. 1t Is monstrous 10 reject a
mans entire ballot tickeD because he
has mistakenly voted for four justices
where he should only have voted Tor
three. Not to correct our plan In this
respect IS TO invite trouble. This IL
matter we should like for the various
Democratic clubs OF the city 10 take up
and discuss. Their odvice 10 the COM
mittee might be valuable.
Experience teaches US that after every
municipal primary there is apt to be
contest between persons who were voted
for as candidates. Therefore. the pro-
visions Of the plan as to "how contesr
may be made" &c, should be perfectly
plain, 50 that each person who has been
voted for will know precisely what are
his rights, and how he may SO about
maintaining them.
There IL much reason TO believe that the
coming primary IN Richmond will he the
largest IN the history Of the city.
nomination is. of course, equivalent TO
an election. Candidates are numerous,
and they ore conducting their canvass with
great activity, but in an excellent spirit.
Indeed, the Democracy of Richmond were
never in better trim than at present. We
have got the primary law that we want;
our City Committee and Electoral Beard
have the confidence of the public, and
there is no schlsn in our ranks. In other
words the Democrats Of Richmond are
solid"

Anderson. nj coormick- Australian Law

The Walton election bill Is designed to
Soinforce the Anderson Mccormick law
md give 70 the electoral boards additional
bower to ensure the secrecy OF the ballot
In other words 1t proposes to engraft
che Australian system on our present
,lection law and give TO the electoral
boards the appointment OF an additional
.,ection officer-a special constable at each
voting precinct.
The chief thing at which the Australian
system aims il that each voter shall have
the privileges OF preparing his ballot unmo-
tested and unmatched. To accomplish this
purpose at each polling place there Is
footh provided and into this booth voters

Our respected contemporary, the Rich
mond State. appears to think that the
General Assembly is afraid TO call con-
sututional convention for fear that IL
will restrict the popular suffrage. And
why not restrict suffrage? a man
who has lived to be Il years OF age
without learning to read with facility,
whether he be white or black, should not
be permitted TO vote.-Lynchburg News
SO we have said many times, and yet
one of the first things offered In objec-
ton by some Of our friends is that such
n test OF suffrage would disfranchise ex-
Confederates, who. though good citizens.
cannot read, etc.-Norfolk Landmark.
Isn't IL in the power OF Virginia to pro-
vide in her Constitution that every man
who has served In a Virginia military
company in time of war and been honora-
bly, discharged therefrom shall become a
voter by registering in the manner pre-
scribed by law?
Isn't II a fact that some Of the northern
States extended suffrage to all for
eigners who enlisted in their regiments
during the war and who could show hon
orable discharges therefrom? That Is to
say. a German or an Irishman who came
20 this country and forthwith enlisted In
these regiments II wounded and dis
charged the next day at once became en-
titled to citizenship.
III these are facts, would It not be IN
the power OF the people OF Virginia Ike
wise to make a constitutional provision
which would give suffrage to all men who
honorably served her In arms in time
OF war or instruction?

Those OF our citizens who reside be-
tween the pcnitentiary and Hollywood
cemetery ought to rejoice very much In
deed at the prospect Of getting Spring
street extended through the penitentiary
grounds from Belvidere street to Arch.
Never until this General Assembly met
could such concession be gotten from
the State. Now thu State offers the
ground II the city will make the street.
The money value OF the States contribu-
ton is the same as that which the
city is asked TO make for the work TO
be done And yet there are some MEM
bers OF the City Council who are opposed
TO making any appropriation for this
purpose.

Harrison's Strange Speech.

Il ex-President Harrison q Communist?
Tho Springfield CMass.) Republican quotes
him as having said last week In a speech
In Indiana what here follows:
1T is well accepted as the right principle
that a city council board of county COM
missioners. or State Legislature should
legislate TO create work for the unem-
ployed. You may read any day In the
newspapers an appeal to tho City Council
to legislate In order to aid the unem-
ployed OF the city, and In the same paper
turn TO another page and read lengthy ar
ticles advocating the reduction OF the tariff
revenues OF the country. II Is a Republi-
can principle that all legislation should
have for its prime object the creation Of
work for and the promotion OF the com.
fort and prosperity OF the laboring man.
The National Government is bound by the
same duties as the city council or the
board OF county commissioners. and this
duty must be fulfilled strictly and faith
fully In order that American mills may
keep alive the fires in their furnaces"
Mr.. Harrison must have spoken extern
poraneously and said more than he in
tended TO say. How city councils are to
find work for all the unempioyed-male
and female-is beyond our comprehension.
To legislate to create work for the unem-
ployed would be, of course. to so legislate
for the benefit OF all the unemployed.
This no Council could do.
Mr. Harrison. no doubt. was defending
a protective tariff when he said what IS
above quoted. Nevertheless. he has some
such notions as the one TO which we have
called attention; for at Kansas City on
Tuesday last he made a speech m which
he said:
Well. we must feed those who can
not feed themselves. but 1t Is n great
deal better that we should promote and
use q policy that keeps the mills going.
than that we should resort TO those tenn
porary and not very happy experiments
OF calling upon our municipal and other
agencies to help those that are IN
distress"

We think the Governors vetoes have
peeH based upon sound reasons, and
are in the right direction. There IS too
much Of the shotgun character in modern
