VIRGINIA FRANCHISE CASES.

Two cases involving the franchise
rights of the colored male adults OF the
State of Virginia under the new consti,
tuition of that State have been docketed
in the Supreme Court of the United states
at Washington by Hon. J. >. WISE
The cases originated in the United States
Circuit Court for the Eastern district oil
Virginia, and were adversely passed up
on last November, Chief Justice Fuller
being on the bench at that time.
One cases was an application for awrit
of prohibition and the other an appllca-
ton for writ Of Injunction, the purpose
in both instances being to have the court
prohibit the Virginia State convasslng
board from convassing the vote for Con-
gressmen at the last general election on
the ground that the restrictions placed
upon voters by the new State constitu-
ton are in contrayention of the Federal
Constitution.
The first case was proceeding in law
and the second in equity, but the cour
refused to entertain either of them, al
leging that it was without jurisdiction, a
the cases were political, and the Stat'
itself must necessarily be party to thu
proceeding
In his assignment of errors bringing
the cases to the Supreme Court, Mr.. Wis
attempts to controvert these points. M

Tu1s DECISION in favor of rebate on
coal for year represents very sudden
change of front on the part OF the repuo-
lican leaders. When this session OF
Congress opened these leaders were EN-
phatic in opposition to any meddling
with the tariff. All sorts of reasons
were assigned against any change IN the
coal duties. Representative Payne
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee, is quoted as having said only on
Monday: 'Therc is an abundance OF
coal. as matter of fact, and it is being
mined in quantities sufficient to meet every
demand The retail dealers evidently
appreciate the value of their opportunity
to hold the consumers up and they are
doing it. do not believe that the re-
moval of the duty will have any effect
upon present prices" But the cold
weather and the clamor of the people
from all over the country for coal, and
cheaper coal, convinced the republican
managers that some concessions would
have to be made, so they adopted re-
bate system as a compromise measure.

THE PHILADELPHIA RECORD takes
this sensible view of the Presidents at
titude toward the South; Southern
LOYALTY to the federal government was
not created by the Spanish war, but it
was demonstrated by that war to people
of the North who could not shake OIL the
recollections and inherited prejudices OF
the ciyal war. The President belongs to
a generation that has come on the stage
since that conflict, and is identified with
the war in which the North and South
fought together. The conditions OF the
present administration were remarkably
favorable for the development OF the new
nationalsm. But this has been largely
or wholly sacrificed for the sake of APP
pointing few colored people to federal
Offices in the South. The President
could have recognized the citizenship Of
the colored people in other ways and
have benefited his party aud his coun'
Try at the same time"

seated in the Senate, even II elected
But Mr.. Hanna and the other Senate
leaders declared it could be easily ac-
complished, and Smoot decided, with
the consent of the church, to become
candidate. The reported indignation o.
the Mormons over the alleged interior
ence of President Roosevelt IN ob)ection
to smoot is probably exaggerated, but II
Is believed that he will be elected not

that without the encouragement given
him to effect partisan victory in Idaho
by the Senate republicans Apostle Smoo'
