WHO WANTS MORE LAWS

The press OF the State is almost unan-
imous in opposition to general legisla-
tion at the extraordinary session of the
General Assembly. to be held next
Spring. A number OF weekly papers,
who usually keep in close touch with
the sentiment OF their communities. are
outspoken in favor of the Legislatures
doing what it has been called together
to do, and then going home.
The Virginian-Pilot is at a loss to
understand from what quarter the
pressure for general legislation comes
There are, to be sure. several matters
in which relief legislation is demanded
notably the State prison-but apart
from these, no considerable number of
people in the State are demanding leg
islation of any sort. The Salem Times
Register remarks that the question Of
general legislation will precipitate q
hot fight in the Democratic caucus and
adds:
Senator Flood will lead the fight for
letting down the bars while Senator
Mctlwaine will offer vigorous oDposi-
1 ton and contend that Legislature was
called for specific purpose. and hav-
ing disposed of hat should adjourn i'm
mediately. Both sides will have strong
backing, but it is safe to say that the
advocates of general legislation are in
the majority and will win out"
Senator Flood comes from the other
end of the State and that section may
be suffering for more statutes: as to
that we are not advised. but the peo-
pie In this neck of the woods would
be quite satisfied to worry along with
what laws they have until the Consti-
tutional Convention shall have done its
work. and intelligent legislation become
possible. The eagerness of a few poli-
t'cians TO legislate just at this time,
and in the absence of any specific need
| or popular demand for legislation,
greatly increases the chances that the
legislation will be had.

TWO WoMEN'S HUSBANDS.
Why One Was Docile and the Other Was
Rebellious.


Mrs. Fuller and Mrs. Deming are
neighbors and visit each other quite
frequently, and Mrs. Fuller has no
ticed with surprise that Mrs. Deming's
husband never scolds when he comes
home and finds no supper ready. She
asked Mrs. ID. about it, and was told
it was as easy us rolling off log.
You have only to use Il little tact"
she said. why, any man can be man
aged by a tactful wife,
Just then Deming came in looking
rather tired and cross, but his wife
took his hat, whispered something in
his ear, and asked him if he was very
hungry.
He said he didn't mind waiting, and
at her suggestion he took his paper
and went into the other room.
"Therew whispered Mrs. d. to her
neighbor, "didn't tell you it only re-
quired little tacty" and she Went
about getting supper while Mrs. Fuller
went home to try how tact would work
on her husband.
She found him with a thunder-cloud
brow, and at once began the new treat
ment.
"Please go into the parlor and read
the paper while l hurry the supper
"Well, you have nerve! Do you s'pose
l can satisfy my appetite with news

minutes and he wasn't a bit cross,
and her supper is late too"
"Of course it is. GOssiping round
and hindering each other, l wonder
you ever get anything DONE
Mrs. Fuller had tried tact, but it
didn't seem to work. Her feelings
were hurt and her temper was rising.
She concluded to take heroic measures
and see what would happen. She took
off the white apron she had pinned on,
and turned as only worm can.
George Augustus Fuller, if you want
any supper tonight you can get it for
yourself I'm going home to eat and
will stay there until you know how
to treat me. You should have married

"Why, of course. l was only bluff

Ter thinks it takes different kinds of
tact for different men, but she doesn't
know vet what it was that Mrs. Dem.
ing whispered so sweetly to her hus-
band 1t was this.

she is here I'll tell you how much

Since Willie Goes to School.
Since Willie goes to school the days
Are always full of peace,
And in hundred little ways
The cares of life decrease;
The halls are Uttered up no more
With blocks and tops and traps;
No marbles lie upon the floor,
But are we happier than before?--
All. well, perhaps-perhaps.
Since Willies goes to school the cat
Lies doing in her nook,
There are no startling screeches that
Make all the neighbors look;
His playthings are all piled away,
No books bestrew the floor,
But have found a hair today,
Deep-rooted, glistening and gray,
That hid itself before.
Since Willie goes to school hear
No pounding on the stairs,
Nor am l called to help my dear
Make horses of the chairs;
A sense of peace pervades the place,
And l may be fool
To shed the tears that streak my face
But boy is ir my baby's place,

New Yorll's laudable desire to b. the
biggest city in the world is in strik-
ing contrast with the ambition of Lon
don in the last years of the sixteenth
century, when the decree of Nonesuch
forbade the erection of buildings
where none has existed in the memory
of man. The extension of the me-
tropolis was deemed to encourage the
plague, create trouble in governing
multitudes, a dearth of victuals, mul-
tiplying of beggars, and inability to
relieve them; an increase of artisans
more than could live together; i'm
proverishing other cities for lack of
inhabitants. The decree asserted
that lack of air, lack of room to walk
and shoot etc, arose out of too crowd
ed city. A proclamation to the
same effect was also issued by James
I.

In the course of long article deal
ing with the growth of cotton produc-
ton and manufacture in the United
States the London Times says: The
United States as a producer will be
able to command a universal market
at remumcrative prices. 1t seems I'M
likely that the manufacturing branch
will be able to do more than to sup
ply the home demands. These make
it the most valuable single market in
the world, and the maintenance of the
monopoly is likely to be assured" Am
erican progress, the article points out,
is largely due to the quick adoption of
perfected machinery, much of which
has been devised in England.
