Legislative Proceedings.
RICHMOND, Dec. 13-The feature Of
the legislative proceedings to-day was
Senator Wiokham's bill regulating cleo
tions by ballot and repeating tho Wal
ton law.
The distinctive features of the bill are
the requirements for the ballots to be
uniform, requiring the same size of type
to be used for all candidates; prescrib-
ing how ballots shall be printed; m ak
ing special provisions for electors and
for cases whore they are submitted to
the popular vote.
Anotner distinctive feature ia that It
is made the duty of the Judge of q
county when an election is held to
stamp the ballots with q seal and cause
to be delivered to tho clerk of court q
sample of the ballot, which shall bs
placed upon file for examination by the
public, 1t to be the duty of the clerk to
attend to this. The bill aleo provides
that there shall not be less than one
booth for every 100 voters registered at
voting place. 1t also provides careful
and full directions for marking ballots,
The special constable feature ia or
dered abolished and in lieu Is given a
provision that any voter may call to his
aid any elector in the Same district who
may retire to one of the booths with
him and there mark his ballot for him.
No such person shall 80 mark the bal
-ots OF moro than one such voter at any
ona election, and the election Judge
shall keep upon the poll books q memo-
randum in writing OF the names of each
and every one of such persons &c
assisted, specifying the name of the
elector 80 assisting. Violation OF this
provision Is made q mied emeanor and

less fhan 6.4O0, 600 bales OF cotton and .
larger acreage than had been expected
OF winter wheat.
THE great supplies of cotton brought
ove5 from previous years render 1t un.
important whether the yield OF 1895
was seven or ak million bales. except
ss affecting future planting, and the ex-
teneive organization of planters to keep
back their cotton deprives small re-
ceipts Of their natural influences.
Whether from that'or not, receipts have
recently been over 40 cents smaller
than last year, but takings Of spinners
and exports are also smaller. The
price rose three-sixteenth ard closed at
$3.50 cents.
Wheat continues to 60 forward so
rapidly that past estimates of yield,
whether official or not were discredited.
Western receipts were 6,Os4. 4O4 bushels
for the week, against 8 .4O3, GIL last year,
while Atlantic exports, flour included.
were but 1886, 355 bushels, against
2,357,2l lass year. At current prices 1t
seems improbable that marketing has
been out of proportion to yield, and
prices for the week show little chance.
Iron furnaces In blast December
turned out ZIG. 997 tons weekly, against
2l7.306 November 1, with the increase
OF 5000 tons in stocks unsold. But actual

The Crisis Has no RELATION to Cuba

WASHINGTON, Dec. 49, In diplomatic
circles here it lie said that the cabinet
crisis in Spain will have no alteration
on the policy OF Spain toward Cuba nor
In any way affect diplomatic or general
questions. The crisis is due to a local
content in Madrid into which some of
the cabinet ministers have been drawn.
IL Is possible that the resignation OF the
minister of justice might result in exc
cutting the plan OF Cuban reforms sooner
than has been contemplated. These re.
forms, giving limited autonomy to Cuba,
were adopted last March, but the press
ent justice has withheld their execution
because the Islaud was in rebellion,

Bill to Restrict Immigration,

WAsHINaToN, d. O., Dsa. 10 Some
misappsehension exists as TO the exact
features OF the bill introduced by Sena-
TOR Lodge for restricting immigration.
The bill provides for keeping out such
Immigrants as cannot read snd write in
some language, while the impression
mes obtained that Ii means that ,immi
grants who cannot read and write the
Engiish Language are to be prohibited.
senator Lodge says the latter provision
would be abused, as many desirable i'm I.
migrante come to this country who are
highly educated in their own language
and who do not understand English.

The Governor VII, send Soldiers.

PETERSBURG, Va, Dec. ia special
to the Index Appeal says: The Lunen-
burg prisoners will certainly not be
taken to thatcounty for trial until the
Jennsry term Of the court. When they
go Governor O'Ferrall is sure to send
the military. for he has every reason to
believe that the granting OF second
trial has 40 angered the people of
Lunenburg that they will lynch the
man and women. No one knows, Of
course, whether Judge Orgain will grant
q chsnge OF venue. The counsel for the
prisoners will fight hard for the change.
A gentleman from 8 county adjoining
Lunenburg said to day be did not be-
lieve there would be g second trial, for
in his opinion the people of Lunenburg
would lynch the prisoners whenever they
set foot on the soil of that county.

A Good Appetite

Always accompanies good health, and an absence of appetite is an in dication of something wrong. The loss of a rational desire for food is soon followed by lack of strength, for when the supply of fuel is cut off the fire burns low. The system gets into low state, and is liable to severe attacks of disease. The universal testimony given by those who have used Hoods SarsapariIla, as to its great merits in restoring and sharpening the appetite, in promoting healthy action of the digestive organs, and as 8 purifier of the blood, constitutes the strong est recommendation that can be urged for any medicine. Those who have never used Hoods Sar- saparilla should surely do so this season.
