Election Laws.

Every state having general elect.
ion laws should have special ones
covering certain cases W herein un-
fortunate voters are deprived of
their rights and privileges.
Take for an example blind
man, under a general law and un-
der the Australian ballot system,
he cannot vote because he cannot
prepare his ballot and no one is
authorized to prepare it for him.
The same rule is true of him who
cannot cad and write As long as
the law is general and without any
prohibitions these classes of men
should be protected in their rights
and should be assisted by judges or
other authorized persons in pre-
pairing their ballots,
1t will be well too. when laws are
defective, to have them so amended
that party or parties wishing to
vote straight ticket can do SO by
crossing the name of the party in.
stead of being forced to cross every
name on the party ticket. This
will be great saving of time foi
precincts polling heavy votes.
Then again there should be a law
! governing our primary system O
voting. In the absence of a law vo
tiers in precincts are often cheated
out of their rights by designing
committeeman and politicians, and
quiet orderly voters tolerate sucf
things rather than have scrap
with the gang running the prima
ries to suit themselves.
! The News calls the attention
of our legislators to the election
laws of the state and asks that thes
be amended where amendments ar,
needed, and above all that the,

us, and won't come. And besides we'll never have Jack for pet, now,' said Ar thur.
 The next day as Kitty and Arthur were starting to school what should they see hopping around the yard as if hunting for them, but Jack himself!
 "Oh, Jack! Jackr' cried both of them to- gether And Jack came hopping up to them and put his nose in their hands as much as to say, How do you do? I'm very glad to see you!''
 After that Jack stayed around as if he thought it was his home, too. Once in while he would go away for a day, per- haps to visit his relatives in the woods, but he always came back.
 On Easter morning, Kitty, Arthur and Mary hurried out to the barn; they could not even wait to have their shoes but toned, so anxious were they to see if any eggs were there for them.
 They hunted all over and finally, in the box that had been Jacks first bed, there, down in one corner, covered up with hay, they found dozen of the prettiest Easter eggs a rabbit ever brought to anyone.
 Jack did it! Jack did it!'' cried the chill dren, as they danced around for joy, hold ing the pretty eggs in their hands, while Jack hopped about, as happy as they.

 Arthur and Kitty did not like this plan at first, but when mamma told them that there might be a nest of little raDplts somewhere in the woods waiting for tneir parent to feed and care for them, they thought it would be cruel to shut Jack up and keep him from going away If he wanted to.
 So they took him to the barn and left him to do as he pleased
 But to their joy and surprise. the next morning he was still there. They led nm on lettuce and the new, tender blades or grass that spring was just coaxing 10 car, pet the brown earth again. But JACK oiu seem able to get out of his box yet.

cotton spinners by sdepriving them of raw cotton. But this is only temporary mat ter. The primary cause is much more seri- ous and far-reaching. The truth is, the European coal mines are becoming ex- hausted. Some of the mines in Belgium and France have reached a depth of over half mile, and the coal must be brought up by a costly series of elevators No new deposits are being discovered, while the great manufacturing enterprises of mod ern life are devouring the remaining beds faster than the coal can be mined.
 Hitherto the imports from England have supplied the deficiency. But England itself has passed it's prime as a coal-producing country. The miners are compelled to go lar beneath the surface. Labor and ma chinery have already been taxed to their utmost, but the mines can no longer re- spond to all the demands upon them. Thus Russia, Germany and Belgium are con- Ironted with a permanent handicap to the great industrial activities which constitute the power and prosperity of every modern nation.
 In this predicament the United States alone can supply the deficiency. This coun- try Is inexhaustibly rich in coal It seems practically certain that Europe will hence forth be compelled to import an ever-in- creasing quantity of coal from America. If the various governments will remove all tarfn restrictions, as they now show ten dency to do Americans can supply good coal in unlimited quantities at prices far below what Europe Is now paying. The finest West Virginia soft coal can be land ed at European ports for but little more than g a ton.
 That we shall in time have a large coal export trade seems certain. It is equally certain that the United States Is destined to be the supreme manufacturing country or the world, for we alone have unlimited supplies of coal, and power is the control ling factor in the industrial world. The disadvantage of having to import their coal will ultimately compel European man uiacturers to devote themselves chiefly to products in which art is a larger element than power, leaving to hold the supre- macy in the heavier and more utilitarian products, such as iron and steel, which are the most important and the most prof itable of all

The European Coal Famine
From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Consul General Mason has sent from Berlin an official report confirming the most serious rumors of a coal famine throughout continental Europe. Many German manufacturers already have been forced to close their factories because they are unable to obtain coal and some of the largest electric light and power plants will be compelled to close in a few days unless they can get fuel from some unexpected source. In Prussia the managers of the state railways have been able to secure coal enough for six months, but only by paying an advance of 45 per cent. on the former high price The same is true of Belgium, and even at the advanced price the government cannot get as much coal as it wants. The lowest grade of bitumin- ous coal has nearly doubled in value throughout Europe. Russia has sought to meet the emergency by removing the tariff duty from coal, but the coal famine still threatens results as serious as those of the food famine of few years ago.
 From the Chicago Tribune.
 The cause of the sudden shortage in Flu ropes coal supply is the partial cessation of exports from England on account of the South African war. In this respect the British. war seems about to infiict as great hardship upon continental workingmen as did the American @vil war upon English

Where StOnewnli Died
he Richmond Dispatch.

From the Richmond Dispatch.
 When Dr. Hunter Mcclure was stricken with his present illness he was taking ex- traordinary interest in the scheme for raising fund to buy the house at Guiena's s Station in which Stonewall Jackson died.
 That house-once the property of the Chandlers-is now occupied by a negro as a tenant. It's yard is neglected and the window-panes are stuffed with rags: deso- lation reigns all about; that, too, though the homestead is in plain sight of the numerous passenger trains of the Rich mond, Fredericksburg and Potomac rail- road.
 Largely through the efforts of Dr. Me Guire the Stonewall Jackson Memorial as- sociation was organized and acquired an option to buy the property at 5000. The option includes the dwelling and 16O acres or land. The land, we are informed, is of good quality and has been well kept up.
 It is the design of the association to raise $lO,C0O one-half of which will be used as purchase money and the other as a fund to keep the property in good repair and under proper supervision. A part of the permanent fund may be obtained by disposing of some portion of the farm.

 After this the children were even more attentive to their little patient. They made his bed softer and brought him the tender est leaves and buds they could find.

 But, oh, dear! Maybe he will go away and never come back again, now that he is we'll" said Kitty mournfully.

 But the next morning when the children visited the barn, their little friend was gone! No sign of him anywhere. And three the house.

 But If he saw Jack around here, may be he'll think Jack would bring them for
