TnE NEW LIQUOR ORDINANCE.

The ordinance presented to the
City Council Thursday night, and
postponed thirty days under the
rules, in reference to drunkenness
and the regulation OF bar-rooms in
town, is a step in the right direction,
and, strange as it may appear, so
lar as we have been informed, meets
the approval Of the liquor dealers
and also the extreme temperance
advocates. This fact, in our opinion,
shows that it will be popular with
the public and its provisions will be-
enforced if it becomes law. 1t Will
20 far towards breaking up drunk
enress ON our streets, because It Is
made the duty OF the police officers,
under pains aud penalties. to arrest
and lock up any one found drunk or
under the influence OF liquor within
the town or its criminal jurisdiction,
aud the party SO offending when he
becomes sober shall he tried and
nunished for the offence. This pro
vision will no doubt prevent persons
from becoming intoxicated or from
appearing on the street in that con
dition. That is "a good point gained
for the morality and good shame of
the town. and will remove the charge
some time ago publicly made-whicn
we did not accept rs true-that
there was more drunkenness in Fred
ericksburg than in any other town
of its size in all the country.
Under this ordinance high license
will have have a fair trial, because
the law will be heartily supported
by public opinion and its enforce
ment will be popular and demanded
by-all parties. We have had high
license since the first OF May and I'M
nrovements over the old system are
already apparent; but this ordi-
nance aids the good that high license
does by removing the screens and
obstructions from the bar. SO they
will be open and visible to the passer-
by. 1t has been held that this is es-
sential to the full benefit OF high
license and will reduce the evil OF the
liquor business 10 its minimum Let
Us hope then that the ordinance,
when adopted will correct the evils
complained Of bring about the It
form hoped for. and prove n great
blessing % the town.

ADOPT THE PRIMARY PLAY.

There seems to be a disposition in
some counties OF the State 10 throw
aside the primary plan OF nomina-
ting candidates and Use instead the
old method. which incidentally car
ries with il ring rule and the proven
bal cutand dried proceedings. This
paper was never in favor Of the pri-
mary, State or county, as scheme

move in the direction of having pri-
maries, but we are very earnestly in
favor OF the primary plan if applied
to all elections in the State Of Vir-
ginia, and We are very earnestly OPP
posed to the old courthouse mass
meetings, where nearly always few
local bosses and politicians control
ed things by the use OF their tried
satellites and where the true senti-
ment of the county at large was very
often misrepresented by the men Sc
lected as delegates. Considering
everything, and especially the fact
that a large majority of the people
OF this State are in favor of the pri-
mary plan, we suggest that in every
instance nominees be chosen by pri-
mary and that the system either be-
come general or else be abandoned |
entirely.

7coEDUCAmoN AND MARRIAGE.

Coordination aud marriage was
the subject Of an address delivered by
Dr. Hall, President OF Clark Univer-
sity, last week. His address is said
To have been one OF ability and made
a deep impression upon his audience.
Co-education is n subject much dis
cussed of late and is attracting much
attention: but most OF those we have
heard on the subject either favored
it or advocated a trial OF it To a linn
tied extent. And so some of our i'll
situations OF learning, that had never
experimental on the subject, admit
ted a few females, but whether the re-
suits were altogether satisfactory,
We have not been informed. On the
other hand several that have tried
mixing the sexes are satisfied with
the results and will continue the
practice. But notwithstanding this
fact not a few of our leading educa-
tors oppose the mixing OF the sexes in
colleges and universities and declare
that 1t works harm TO both sexes.
II is a practical subject and one that
all parents who have children toedu-
cate should investigate as to its adj
vantages and disadvantages. that
they may wisely determine for them
selves the merits OF the question.
Therefore, without endorsing the
position DR.. Hall takes, who is said
u be seriously concerned about the
preservation of the races, we repro
duce, from the Philadelphia Ledger.

war, he cannot uphold a system which
he thinks encourages them. President
Hall believes that all institutions OF the

hates to see girls with the ideals OF men;
