IieaItfS In the wintes oil 1915, al
Charleston, introduced Into tho Ieglk-
lature, House bill No. 90, creatinga
State Board OF Health. This bill atthe
adjourned session in Wheeling, Novem.
her l2th, 1875, was tabled
Tn January, 1877, ! moved I'm the
Legislature To withdraw House bill No.
ST from the files OF 1873, and putt again
ON the calendar, but on its second read
ing was defeated. Upon reflection /
now feel that in doing what | did ex7
crcised more zeal tl,an sense. This
question had never been agitated in this
State, and but few knew little ornothing
Of State Medicine. ,t' a.1H
Some of tile members OF the Degis-
lature opposed the bill because they
thought and said on the floor OF the
House, "No one will get sick or die un-
i'll their time comes" This argument
will knock the best Of them down. No
surrounding this obstacle.
We now are of the opinion that We
cannot get good efficient act creating
State Board of Health until u majority
oi the people have m adequate concep-
ton al the true meaning and scope OF
sanitary laws and their administration,
and that such majority shall have faith
in the efficiency OF sanitary precautions
and sufficient knowledge to deyisea and
use them.
SAYS DR.. Toner, ''ro make the knowl-
edge of sanitary science seryiceable for
the protection OF the people, requires
great discretion, perseverance, and iorti-
tude On the part Of those charged with
tho duty. While there remains with
the many rooted ignorance and sen
stivc antagonism 10 reform We believe
that, except IN extreme cases, more
rapid progress can he made by deyel-
oping, educating and leading public
sentiment than 10y attempting too soon
In enforce compliance with sanitary
laws"
We understand from this, that public
hygiene should he taught in all free,
high and normal schools, and in our col
| lrges and universities II should he the
| subject of discussion in our literary so
lures; from the pulpit it should be the
subject Of prayer and discussion; not
wthstsnding the insulting reply OF Cam
10 God, when enquiring OF his brother
Abcl's welfare, we are our brothers
keeper or helper both morally and
physically. Yes, we physicians should
daily talk it 10 our patients aud induce
The lawyer to plead il to his clients, and
last, though not least, the press should dgi-
| tate il, and when it is well before the
| peoIsc there will bc no difficulty In
creating an efficient State Board OF
| Health.
OF what avail would State Board of
Health bc to West Virginia, OF which
the closing paragraph OF the act should
read. "The said Board Of Health shall
not in any way be n charge npon the
State" These few words would kill Il Q
| best act ever made. There never was u
time in the worlds history when man
kind are so universally acting on the
declaration that the laborer is worthy
al his hire" as at the present, and why,
even il it isan act Of mercy, require those
who do the labor to receive no compcn-
sation.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The Cabinet ses-
sion yesterday was remarkably short, and
only unimportant routine business was pre-
sented for consideration. 1t was generally
expected that the New Orleans Collectorship
would be discussed. if not finally disposed
of, but it seems the President is unable to
decide which one of the numerous candi-
dates he will nominate. Mr.. Geo. William
son, whose nomination for the position was
recently rejected by the Senate, has arrived
here. 1t is understood his friends claim a
denomination on the ground that he was
rejected because he was serving in an official
capacity outside of the Jurisdiction of the
United States The President does not give
any indication of an intention to reconsider
Mr.. Williamson's claim.
The friends of Ex-Governor Packard are
still confident that he will yet receive the
nomination. He is strongly backed by sew
eral members of the Cabinet and a large
number Of influential Republicans outside
of the Administration.

some Sweeping Reductions Pro-
posed.
Messrs Atkins, Durham and Foster the
Subcommittee of the House Appropriation
Committee having in charge the Legisla-
tive, Executive and Judicial Appropriation
Bill, made their report to the full Commit
tee. Some sweeping changes are recon-
mended. The offices of the Fourth and
Fifth Auditors and their deputies are abol-
ished and their duties, as well as their
clerks, transferred to the First and Second
Auditors Besides the four classes of clerks
now existing new class, with a compensa-
ton of 81 900, is established. Messengers
salaries, now $S40 are reduced to $720 while
one-haH of the Messengers now receiving
$720 are dropped, and their places supplied
by pages at salaries of $3.50.
In the United States Treasury Office the
force of female clerks is lessened by forty
and other bureaus and departments about
the city are dropped. Laborers now
receiving $720 are reduced to $780, In the
Agricultural Department the salaries of the
Commissioner, Chief Clerk and heads of di-
visions will remain as they are but the
grades of clerks are abolished, and the sum
of 81, 900 is appropriated to pay for clerical
services, and the total amount is about the
same as for the current fiscal year.
The composition of the Territorial Legis-
latures is changed by fixing the number of
the Council at nine, and the Assembly at
eighteen, at salary Of 81 per day, and the
salary of the Chief Clerk Of each House is
fixed at S6 per day. This reduces the ex-
penses for this purpose fully one-half
Other changes than those mentioned, more
or less important are made, and it is safe to
predict that the bill will create lively
fight.

MOBILE, ALA, March 23.-Jerry, Isaac
and Jacob Childs, negroes and brothers,
paid the penalty of death yesterday for the
murder of Mrs. Yon in 1876. The execu-
ton attracted immense crowds Jerry was
calm and collected, showing no signs of
emotion excepting dark scowl on his face,
but Jacob and Isaac were apparently suffer
ing the tortures of the damned. Jerry stood
erect and told his story without hesitancy.
He said they were innocent; but that Isaac
Hall, the prosecutor knew who killed Mrs.
Yon, for he had offered him Jerry 500 in
October previous to her death to kill her.
The condemned men assembled the platform
and proceeded to address the crowd, EN-
phatically denying their guilt and calling
upon God to attest the truth of their state
ments. Each of the condemned professed
their hope of salvation.
