Nearly seventy white women in
Boston have been married to colored
men in the last two years. The
law permits it and, apparently,
there is social sanction for these
alliances, so horrible to the thought
of Southern people. We are told
that the women are of the poorer
and more obscure classes in the
community.

WEST VIRGINIA,S PROS
PERITY.

FERlTI.
Fifty years ago it was the habit
of landowners and sellers, in what
is now the State of West Virginia,
to fix the selling price of lane
upon the fruitfulness of the tillablt
bottom lands and to throw in the
coal-bearing hill lands for little OF
nothing. The then estimated
wealth of Virginia lsy in hel
agricultural lands east of the
Blue Ridge mountains, and the
great region west of the Allegha-
MES was looked upon as hopeless
waste.
To-day the enormous riches OF
that western region, now West
Virginia, is only beginning to be
recognized by her own people and
the world at large.
With seams of remarkably pure
bituminous coal interlaying her
mountains in successive strata
and undertaking her valleys in
uncomprehended extent, it is
discovered that of the 55 counties
of West Virginia quite so contain
coal. Of the 1900 square miles
of territory embraced within the
confines of the State fully $1,000
miles include coal-bearing area.
1t is claimed for Pennsylvania
that there are some $4,000 to
5000 square miles Of coal area
within its borders; that Kentucky
contains some 5000 square miles
of ascertained coal area, while in
Tennessee and in Alabama, in
Arkansas and in Colorado and in
Washington there are lesser areas
of defined and assured coal beds.
In West Virginia, therefore, we
have an area OF coal almost double
that of any other State.
Situated as West Virginia IS
upon the great divide between the
waters of the Atlantic and those
of the Gulf, her coal and products
of coke can now be sent with
equal ease either to the Atlantic
ports upon the east or by the in
land waterways of the continent
to the far South, and across the
plains and prairies of the West
and North ~est to the rapidly |
increasing population of the
interior. No State of the Union
is so favorably situated as is West
Virginia for easy access to her
mines and egress therefrom for
The export of her products. The
star of destiny marked her for
wealth and power, and her people
nave only to observe considerate
md just business relations with
me another, conservative and
wise legislation for all, to assure
% themselves and their children
md their children's children the
noststupendous industrial prosper
ty of the new country.
The eyes of the whole people of
he United States are focused
lpon the mineral stores of West
and the foremost nations
# the world are now directed
owards the coal fields of this
tate.

Senator Don. p Halsey, Richmond
Va:
My Dear Sir.-While l wish you &c
understand that | fully appreciate
the sense of kindness and justice
which prompted your effort to secure
an increase in the salary of the At.
tOrney General, it is right that it
should be known that your action in
that matter was in no sense prompted
by or known to Inc.
The propriety OF such an increase
has been repeatedly suggested to me
during the past year, and in every
instance l have discouraged any
movement in that direction, for the
reason that l accepted the position
with my eyes open, knowing what
the salary was.
think it is due to me that it should
be known that have not asked an
increase OF salary, and that no move
ment to that end has been or will be
made with my consent When fully
restored to health, as hope to be in
a short time, expect, as best can,
to meet all the duties and RESPONSE
bilities of the office for the cOmpen-
sation which il was understood that
| would receive at the time was
elected.
Very sincerely yours,
WILLIAM A. ANDERSON.
Senator Halsey says the matter
was suggested in the debate that
Richmond and Norfolk Judges
salaries be increased 81 900, as the
cost of living was higher in these
places than elsewhere. He says
that if it was necessary for Rich
mond judges to get this increase
it was equally necessary that the
Acknowledgement should have the
benefit Of an increase too, as he is
supposed to be of equal PROVISIONAL
standing with the judiciary of the
State, and the style of living
equally as good.

While this action was entirely
proper, it is too bad that such
harsh steps were necessary. 1T
would be physical impossibility
to run military school without
enforcing certain forms of
discipline. The escapade of the
boys in question was probably
devoid of harmful ntention, but
this fact would not prevent leniency
in their cases from being misin-
terpreted by other young men who
regard the restraint of military
rule with ill-cOncealed aversion.
