SOME PEOPLE after reading the Jim
Crow law, published in the Gazette
last Saturday, say it does not apply TO
the electric railroad between THIS Guy
and Washington. If such were 1ne
intention of the law makers, they are
very "loose and careless" in the pei
formancs of their work. The law says
that all railroads in the Stale
run by steam shall provide sepa'
rate cars for white and colored passen'
gers; but it also provides, in the same
section, that all railroads in the State
shall do the same. Electric roads are
uuquestionably included in all" rail-
roads, and if they are to be exempt
from the law, it should certainly be 20
amended.

As 1T WOULD be silly to suppose tie
legislature of Virginia would be wise
enough to provide for restoration Of
the viva voce system Of voting, the
next best way by which the protested
want of free vote and fair count Can
be obtained, is to make the payment OF
the capitation tax prerequisite to the
exerciee of the privilege of suffrage.
Whether the legislature will be wise
enough to do that, will be decided this
week. Few intelligent and we'll ip.
formed people suppose it will be.
