i,rofessor MINORS Plan.

Editor of The Times:
Sir:-I have just read. with much m
terest the article of Professor Minor, pup
lished In your issue OF 4th inst, on the
subject Of the work of tho coming con-
yention as regards the suffrage Question;
also your criticism of the same. Ine
views prt forth by Professor Minor nave
had llnd .r consideration for qulte Whle,
believing, as I da, that the system OF
graduated or dual suffrage will give more
satisfaction and will meet the ends OF
justice more nearly than any plan yet de-
vised.
ALI Intelligent persons will agree that
the demands of the people will force the
convention. to eliminate the ignorant col
ored vote to an exits mt that 1t will no
longer be menace to society. The ques-
ton then that presents ltsslf is the pest
means to accomplish the same. ProIes-

in value OF manufactured goods sent
abroad. This seems the more probable
since exports from this port alone during
the month were valued at S5,92 ,2GO,
against s4l.636.351 last year. Moreover,
the question OF trade balance for the
month is complicated by specie and bullion

imports last year by s37 $50. and the

A YOUNG MANS AGE.

In his address of welcome to the stu
dents of Washington and Lee UNIVERSE
ty President William I. Wilson told them
that they had youth, health and oppor-
tunity which all the wealth of trusts
could not buy, nor the suffrage of the
American people confer. This comes in
refreshing contrast to the calamity wall
[; of the demagogue who tells the young
American that there is, under existing
conditions, no chance for him to get along
in the world except as the slave of our
corporations, yet holding out the
hope that he may become great
and successful through some magical In
fuence of government.
There never was an age when there
we're so many glorious opportunities as
now to the youth of the land. There never
was an age when the individual counted
for so much as he does in this age
There never was an age when there was
such demand for bright. brainy and cul-
tivatea young men. It is working
change to be sure. and the drone has a
hard time, but the man who is willing to
work and who knows how to do some
practical thing well can always turn his
talents and his energy to profitable ac-
count 1t is an age of education, and this
should be stimulus to every young man
to educate himself and put forth his best
efforts
The strenuous life is the life which de-
velops character: Nature works by
storms and earthquakes as wei as by
calm and sunshine. In activity there is
development, and the young man of the
present age has the opportunity of reach
ing the highest development of the high

art-. legislation will not help him to i'm

counts, and The man who depends
upon that and employs it will go ahead
while ne who waits in idleness for the
government to help him along will be
a drone and a failure.

The Protection of Game in Virginia.


Editor of The Times:
Sr,-As the shooting season approaches
much interest begins to be manifested
and inquiries made as to the prospects
for game. The reports generally promise
an abundance of game and the nope IS
INDUCED that the mild winter and the
favorable dry breeding season. this spring
and summer, have restored the STOCK OF
birds to something like what it was be-
fore it was almost annihilated by the
severe winter we had in 1896 when the
Legislature. on January 81 1896. passed
an act forbidding the killing OF partridges
in the State for the next two years.
About twelve months ago enough mem

THE COAL STRIKE.

In the statement the authorities of the
mine-workers have put out to justify the
great coal strike that they ordered, they
miners is not over $3.50 a year Heaven
knows The Times wishes their wages
were double or three times that, but
wishing for q thing does not produce the
thing. The wages of laborers, Like every
thing else, are governed by the great and
universal Jaw of supply and demand. II
the supply Of labor is in excess Of the de-
mand for it, wages must fall to point
that equalizes and adjusts everything
coming in touch with the subject, and all
the complaints, good wishes, threats, acts
of violence and strike orders will be pow
erless to avert the result. The result is
as certain as the fall Of an apple to the
ground when it breaks off from the tree.
The sum Of $3.50 seems to be small pay
for years work in the coal mines, and
yet we doubt if the annual average wage
of farm labor in this country Is above
that figure We are quite certain that it
is not so in Virginia.
The Times wishes that every laborns
man could earn 81 900 a year. and would
most heartily and cheerfully lend its aid
to any scheme that seemed to promise
that result, provided it did not trespass
upon the rights Of others, but we 90 NOT
believe that wages can be forced up. Ihere
is This hope. however, for the working
man: AS civilization advances the condi-
ton of the laborer improves He. is no

he is entitled to earn enough to keep his

whether or not the true interests of the
Eorkingman are to be promoted by strikes
is n question. This coal strike will proba-
hly cause great suffering and distress, and
w;,l cost perhaps millions of dollars before
it is finally declared off. It is lcobable,
too. that there will be mora distress among
.ha strikers themselves than among any
other class. They viii be out OF work for
