Strike of the Telegraph Boys.
3. The story of the fight between Georse
could. principal owner Of the Western
Union Telegraph Company. and a. D.
c.assatt, president Of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. has been told In Tho lines-
Y D,snat ch. It will be recalled that one
o,4ythe overt acts of Mr.. Cassatt was 10
cut down the poles of the Western pnloh
along the lines of the Pennsylvania fall-
road system, involving loss to ar
Gould. as we have heard, OF several MIL
zion dollars. 1t is not surprising there
fore, that Mr.. Gould should order re-
duction of expenses in the operation OF
his extensive telegraph system. ana III
pursuance OF that policy should have Or
4dered a cut In the wages OF the unor-
sanized messenger boys from two cents
for deliveries, and two and a half cents
for calls. to a cent and half for each
delivery and each call. That is his own
affair The cut may be justihaole from
his point Of view. We do not undertake
10 dictate to any man how he shall con-
duct his business, or what wages ne
shall ray. 1t was Mr.. Gould's right to
cut wages, and 1t was the right Of tho
messenger boys Of Richmond to refuse
TO work at the reduced scale
Mr.. Gould also has the right to fill the
places made vacant by the strike with
negro men. We Say that he has the legal
right to do this. but the people OF this
community prefer white messengers to
negro messengers, and 1t remains to be
seen whether or not Mr.. Gould has not
made a blunder In using negro substi-
tutes for the white boys.
We are frank to say. for our part, that
the change is not to our taste, and we
& believe that In this we express the sentt-
1nent OF the patrons OF the telegraph
4 company. and unless we mistake the tenn
4 per Of this people. Mr. Gould's expert
& u1ent will prove more expensive than the
white messengers at the old scale OF

This Is all Interesting venture. We shall
watch its progress. At one time cotton
was very generally raised In Virginia, at
least III Eastern Virginia. but Its cult.

few counties.
During the Civil. War IN almost every
county small patches OF cotton were
planted. the product Of which was spun

The Keezcll Bill.

Tho Norfolk virgis:an- Pilot reproduecs
an article from The li>,es.Dsratch, II,
which are started our objections to the
Keezell- Bnrksdalo primary election bill,
ami adds: s
If Tie Times.Dispatel Is right as to
the provisions Of the bill, 1t Is certainly
not wrong tn the position 1t taxes. y
would DO III tho last degree undesirable
to have tho General Assembly enact
s,,cli measure. The sentiment Of the
people Of tho State Is for tho primary
plan Of making nominations. Nothing
could be clearer than tho drift toward
the primary pla,, IN the last few years.
It Is little short OF amazing that nlli
SO contrary to public sentiment as me
Times-oispatcl alleges this TO DC should
be seriously proposed. ~
Tho bill provides that in all State con-
tests delegates from tho cities and coun-
ties are to DO chosen BY primary cleo
ton to state convention and instructed
to vote for this or that candidate, out
the convention will make the nomination.
Tho same rule applies to representatives t'
in Congress. except that conventions VIII
be held II each district. the delegates
to be chosen By primary and Instructed
IN the case Of United States senators. II
Is provided that I'm any primary clcc'
ton held to select the candidate OF the
rarty to be voted for United States SELL
ator by the members Of such party IN
the General Assembly, the names OF
all candidates for United States senator
shall be printed on thu same pllioe us
the candidates for State senator anu
House of Delegates, and the election shall
be governed BY the Same conditions as
ar. prescribed as TO such officers unoer
the provisions Of this act and the per-
son receiving the highest number or
votes in tho senatorial or House district
for United states senator shall be deemed
tho choice of his party, and the nomi-
nees for tho Senate or House district
shall BIO considered as instructed accord
ingly."
Now, It IS provided in the first clause
Of the bill that whenever, under author
ity OF a convention Of political party, the
state Committee, or other body having
such authority, In said political party
orders a primary slection to ascertain the
choice of the members OF any political
party for any office to DO elected by the
people Of the State, or any political sub
division thereof or to ascertain the
wishes Of the people as to a candidate OF
that party to be voted for by the Gen
cral Assembly Of Virginia for United
States senator any such primary shall
be conducted under the provisions Of this
act
Therefore, If tkis bill should pass, 1t
would he unlawful for any political party
in Virginia to hold a direct primary. cleo
ton to select nominees for state oihcers'
for representative in Congress. or Tor
United States senator.
Such, at least. is our understandings
and If we are wrong. We hope the pa
irons OF the bill will point out the error.

Ing recently lost her hair from an at
tack Of typhoid fever, now has new
crown Of soft, curly. brown locks. for
which she is SO thankful that she wishes
to share with other women the simple

as all good things come high, the woman
who would have soft, wavy hair, must
work for it. In the way Of TOOLS she
mentions two hair brushes with firm, but
not harsh bristles. These. she says. are
absolutely necessary. Tho only tonic
which she recommends IS lanolin. a I'M

as lard and as old as Cleopatra, who,' is
said to have owed the preservation y OF
her youth and beauty to its use. Lanolln
