The returns in the Congressional
primary elections throughout the
State show that the viva voce system
is decided success. No frauds were
committed and imperfections, incl
dent to that method of voting, it is
stated, can be easily remedied. Every
vote seems to have been counted as
cast, and the result was so scGn and
early ascertained, that no one could
be dissatisfied with it, If willing for
the majority to rule. The new sys-
tenn not only seems to have worked
satisfactorily but has come to stay,if
the large majority of the voters of the
Commonwealth are permitted to
have their way in the matter.

ton opens next Tuesday, and we are

tary to be present and carry with

buted to its success in the past and

The validity of the new Constitu
ton will be contested by the colore(
people OF Virginia. An address
adopted by the Colored Industrial
and Agricultural Association of Vir
ginia, in session in the city of Rich
mond this week, left the matter NJ
longer in doubt. The address CALI
upon the colored people to contribute
toward the fund for contesting it
validity and recites discrimination
against them in railroad cars in the
courts and politically as grounds fol
such contest, which will make them
willing to furnish the necessary
funds. The colored people, of course,
are foolish to listen to such an ap
peal and no good will come of it to
them and it's pity that they will,
because the masses and not the lead
ers will have to suffer for the folly OF
the step to be taken by them. II there
are any of them, however, who are
disposed to listen to the voice of reason
the following from the Richmond
Dispatch is worthy of serious consid-
Grafton by them:
In our opinion this movement of
the negroes is i'll advised, wild, and
foolish, and will do them harm, and
in the end prove nugatory, if not
worse. 1t will bring the whites closer
together than ever before in the sup
port of the Constitution, and in the
unlikely event that the latter is de-
clared invalid, the result will be
another convention explicitly in
structed to go farther than the re-
cent one did in the matter of disfrau-
chising unworthy voters and deal
Jog with the school funds.
The whites of Virginia will not al
low themselves to be thwarted. They
are going to keep themselves in easy
and certain political control of this
State, and is the United States SUI
preme Court should throw obstacles
In the path they have chosen, a new
and safe path will be found.
n ncW COA NChtlOu, uClu uuUcC COLL
pulsion as il were of the Federal
Courts, would not deal as leniently
and literally with the negroes in the
matter of school funds as did the
convention which has just adjourned
There would be an instant and prob
ably irresistible demand that the
funds collected for public school
purposes should be distributed to
the two races in proportion to the
amount paid in by each race. 1t was
only by the exercise of the greatest
tact and discretion, and with the
most earnest pleading on the part of
some of our leaders, that that course
was not adopted by the recent cons
vention. The little that was done by
it to give the whites greater school
advantages, where they choose TO
levy special taxes, is as nothing COM
pared with what might have been
done had not conservative spirit
prevailed. No such spirit would ami
mate a new convention, and the di
vision of the school fund would be
almost certain.

Pure Food Laws Enforced.

The ST: Louis papers report sever
al more grocers brought to trial up
on the charge of selling baking
powder containing alum in violation
of the law The parties were all
convicted and each fined 800.
Several baking powders which
have been found by analysis to con-
tain alum have been offered in this
market. They are called BENGAL,
/. c., CROWN, CALUMET,
and CHAPMAN'S.
In many places similar powders,
under these or other names, are
offered for sale at from ten to TWEEN
ty cents pound.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things il the kitchen.
There are several good powders on
the market; housekeepers will help
the authorities in their efforts to
promote the sale of pure and health
full food, if when buying baking
powder they will insist upon having
some one of the we'll known brands
of cream of tartar powders, which
are pure and healthful beyond a
doubt.

question but what certain lines
of business suffeed materially by
the closing down of the line,
and they will Norwegian the bust
ness which they lost. But
everybody believes that the road
coming to this city means a
great deal more than the Battle
Axe could ever have been. The
road is one of the greatest in the
country, and it gives freight and
passenger connections from this
city to a large part of the contin-
ent. It also likely means new
docks, elevators, and other i'm
provements that will mean a
great deal to Washburn and
Bayfield, county. While there
has been for years good deal
of regret that the voters were
hoodwinked into voting an I'M
reasonably large aid to the Bat
tie Axe enterprise, yet there are
none but what are now pleased
at the outcome.

How is the state going? The
TIMES has had this poked at it a
good many times during the
past week. It may possibly be
stalwart, or the claims Of the
administration forces that they
have things corralled may be
correct. It makes no particular
difference to us. The TIMES as
a small factor in the affairs of
the state took a position which
it believed and still believes was
for the public good. We were
and are still opposed TO the one
man power which Governor La
Toilette has adopted in matters
of state. IF the Governor it for
reform in taxation matters we
are heartily in sympathy with
him on that point, but in the
nearly two years that he has
been in Office we have failed to-
discover any particular interest
on his part to bring about just
taxation. We are heartily oppos-
nd now aS we have been for
many months to the sham of
primary election methods, be-
lieying that the demonstration of
it's 'smerits" will be something
on the line of the Minneapolis
trial, which has scandalized the
name of that city. The TINES
has supported a Washburn man
for a state office. We have seen
him carry his own town by a
very big majority against strong
opposition. We believe that the
convention which meets today
will give him every possible
advantage in the selection of de-
legates. The battle SO far as
state matters are concerned is
over. There is still member
of assembly to be nominatedfrom
this district. On that point The
TINES is of the opinion that some
town in Bayfield, county should
bring out a candidate, and that
he should be nominated and
elected. The candidate should
be a man who is unelterably
pledged to the return of John G.
Spooner to the United States
senate, man who will support
measures in the Legislature that
are intended to make railroad
companies and other corpora
tions that are escaping taxation,
come up to the scratch. HeI
should also be a man who has
Judgment to act intelligently and
for the best interests of the peo-
pie, upon all matters that are
liable to arise that will affect the
people of the state. There is no
question but what these views
are held by most people in rela-
ton to public matters, by the
voters who will have the naming
of the next assemblyman. The
position hardly belongs to Wash
burn, but it does belong and
should be kept in the county.
Let the right kind of man come
out for the position and he ought
10 shaye no trouble in winning
out. The TIMES has a clear
conscience, and no matter who is
nominated for Governor will not
swerve in it's loyalty to the party
it has always supported.
