ELECTION LAWS

The Goebel bill which has been
passed by the Kentucky Legislature
has been the theme of such wide dis
cussions us to make election laws Il
timely topic even outside of the
atate of blue grass, and Bourbon.
The Goebel law may hayc some bad
features from IL high moral stand
point but mt the worst it only Sc.
cures the control of the State the
party that has the right to control
it and which accords with the
genius of its institutions. Election
laws however generally have the bad
luck to be unpopular with one of the
two great parties, and if you hear a
fellow abusing Il. statute of this kind
you may feel quite sure that he didn't
make it. We have an election law
in Virginia for example, which is
absolutely odious TO Il large number
of citizens who. continue to vote udcr
its provisions, and continue to swear
that they have been disfranchised.
1t is not half as partizan II law as
these same fellows would enact if
they had the power. II In fact they
have had the power in times past,
and what ever of fault or imperfcction
may be charged against the Walton
law is Il bagatollc compared to the
wholesale bribery and corruption that
prevailed in this State during the
Malone regime, and which would
prevaile today If the same people
were in power. Yet mild and
equitable (from II pralical standpoint)
rs this law is, the News would he
glad to see it so amended us to take
from these people their pat and per-
petual excuses for defeat, and show
them up for what they arc-a pitiful
minority of the voters Of the State.

FULnESS OF TIME.

This writer has never believed
that the United States had an,
right according to International
Law To interfere IN Cuban affairs
lurther than to look after the inter
est OF American citizens. He has
never believed in comforting bel
llGercnt rights on the insurgents.
They are infinitely less capable of
self government than the slaves
"hen liberated by Mr.. Lincoln's
proclamation. Their wholesale de
St"uction of all values--thc prop
'criN of friends and enemies alike
shows that the liberty they want Is
the liberty of license, and it would
he u crime against civilization TO
turn over to them control of the dev
nS'ated island and the emaciated
INHABITANTS There are other
methods however, and there is n
higher law than the law of nations
the law of heaven. The history
OF Spain has been written IN blood.
and ITS pages are red with the
holocaust OF peoples. The decima
ton OF the whole population of the
beautiful Island of San Domingo
III period of thirty years, taken
alone, would Justify an appeal. nt
this late day, to this higher law.and
who should execute this law bur

that COD has grown and nnrtured
on this continent, the hope and
refuge Of liberty. We are already

gent subjects alike the ultimatum.
that the condition that causes such

AN IDEAL COALITION.

The very acme and iniinitude OF
political perfection Is carried i'll the
suggestion of IL coalition between the
two great English speaking peoples.
Not, an alliance Offensive and defcn-
sive us it is known in diplomacy, for
the mere advancement of mutual
interests, but coalition in The in
terests of humanity, and civilization
and peace. 70 make it truly irresis
table and truly cosmopolitan invite
into this conclavc of nations the
young giant of the East and let it he
known that the United States En-
gland and Japan had combined i'll
the interest of good government, and
universal justice, and you have II
condition for the gods to admire.
No more oppression of peoples,
acknowledgements Of nations and per-
oCCullOllS Vi lullllS. l. uS uIllGu llecl
would open every port the world
over and the missionary bearing the
cross, and the traveller bearing his
samples would be safe in the junglcs
of Africa, and the isles of the Pa
ciiic. The world needs such coal
ltlon, Christianity needs it, and COM
merce most of all. Great us each
nation i'll itself and by reason of It's
environment, the voice of one is but Il
protest. while the voice of the
tiriumyirate would be the voice of
doom. Let the winds whisper the
glory of it TO the justice-loving Queen
across the ocean, and wait 1t over
the yellow seas TO the Mlkado, just
reused from the sleep of centuries,
and then can the Cars and kaisars
II d Kings and Sultans cultivate the
arts of peace, for their dreams of COLI
quest and the schemes of oppression
would be us IL tale that is told.

FlTZ LEE AND SILVER.

We give below an extract which
treats of n man very much in the
public eye just now and of doctrine
very much III the bubble mind. The
only comment we have to make upon
is that Il man who has brain and
nerve enough to sustain himself as
American Consul General IL Havana
would hardly have brass enough to
ask an office from Virginia Demo
Gratis unless he belonged to the party
and believed in it.
The Louisville Dispatch thus ex.
presses its opinion in regard to the
candidacy of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee for
the seat in the United States senate
now occupied by Hon. Thoma S
Martin: the talk about Gen. Lees
candidacy for seat in the United
States senate from Virginia is being
revived since he has come promin-
emily before the public in the excite
ment over the situation in Cuba.
Ten. Lee is man of great personal
popularity in Virginia for his own
sake us well us for the sake of the
family of which he is worthy
representative. However, his posi-
ton on some of the political questions
OF the day is uncertain. He was a
close friend of Mr.. Cleveland, and
undoubtedly sympathiscd with the
eX-presldcnts financial policy. Like
some other Virginia democrats. 1t is
not improbable that he is willing TO
go with his party on the money
question. Virginia is Democratic
state. Senator Daniel is undoubtedly
representative in every sense of the
word of Virginia democracy, and in
spite OF the admiration for Gen. Lee
himself, and the sacred memories
that clsier about his name, Virginia
democrats will not send him To the
senate without assurance that he is
in full sympathy with the principals
OF the party Roanoke World.

To Our Correspondents.

Tho suggestion of our Richards
correspondent is good one. We
have had, until quite recently, a
gcodly number of correspondents
They have moi written as regurarly
as we had hoped. On the other
hand, we have communications sent
ms frequently which we do not pub.
llsh for various reasons. One is.
that we o not always have time to
rowrlte them. and correct them
Another reason is that these letters
are often not news letters ut all.
They are of no interest to the pub
lie generally and hence we no not
publish them. What we want is the
ne'cS from each location. our space
is limited, as well as our time. and
we can therefore publish only mat
ters in which the public are interes
ted.
We sincerely ask that some one
from each Post Office in the coantv
will give us the ue,oS each week from
their heighborhood.
Please give MS the cream and not
skinned milk. We will thank YOU
and pay you too.
