THE CONVENTION of iovited, not elected,
delegates, that assembled in Richmond last
night to organize State republican league
and provide for the organization of republi-
can clubs 10 all the cities and counties OF
the State, met at the call of Mr.. John Wise.
Mr.. Wise has by that call afforded further evil
dence of the fact that he is not without va
riableness and shadow of turning, for it was
only last month that he wrote letter to the
national convention Of republican clubs that
met in New York, in which he said the only
sort ofclubs theVirginia republicanswant are
hickory clubs. Mr.. Wiss possesses bright
ness but lacks wisdom.

can sse their way clear


DR.. q. Gray Latham, president Of the Vir-
ginia State Board of Medical Examiners, and
DR.. Hugh T. Nelson, secretary, are out to-
day In circular letter in defense of the Vir-
GINA State Board of Medical Examiners,
and to morrow copies OF this circular will
be placed upon the desks of members OF
the General Assembly. 1t is an answer to
the petition of the students of the Medical
College of Virginia, who seem to think that
the law creating the board of examiners
should be abolished In the circular letter
the president and secretary of the board
give very discouraging account of the
medical learning of some of tine graduates
who have applied for license to practice,
and the way they do this ia by submitting
long list of questions and showing how
foolishly some of them we're answered by
college graduates. The following are few
of the queries and replies
Question. Describe the larynx.
Answer. The larynx is composed OF cartilage.
The esophagus passes through the larynx.
Question. What is the function of the liver?
Answer. Do not know.
Question. Give the best means Of disinfecting
clothing, rooms, etc.
Answer. Do not know.
Question. Give tests for arsenic
Answer. Sulphuretted hydrogen is orc. Don't
know the rest.
| Question. Give test for mercury.
Answer. Do not remember.
! Question. Give dose of tartar emetic.
Answer. Ten grains. Should have been 1-12
| to . grains
Question Give dose of sulphate of atropia.
| Answer. Hypodermically, 10 grains by mouth,
60 grains. Should have been from about 1-120
to 1-60 of grsin.)
| Question. Give dose of corrosive sublimate
Answer. One grain. Proper dose, 1.3O to lilo
of grain.
It s very probable that the circular will
receive spirited reply from the students Of
the Medical College of Virginia, who are
talking great deal of interest in the move.

A DISPATCH from Pittsfeld says:

"The Sampson Manufacturing Company
will supply the places of the sixty striking
lasters by machiuery. The manager of thu
company has purchased three large laetinf
machines, and each machine will do the
work ottweniy men, hence the three ma
chimes will supply the places of the lasters
1t takes four men to run each machine, and
the work can be done cheaper than it ha;
been done by the striking iasters. Other
shoe manufacturers propose to put in last
iug machines if their lssters strike"
Strikes stimulate genius to invent ma
chimes that will supply the place of hand
labor, and force employers to use such ma
chimes, thereby lessening the demand fol
laborers. This and increasing the hardship:
of those engaged in them, and of other
poor people. seem 10 be the only practca
results of strikes.

The PLAINS. Jan. 16. 1888

To the editor of the Alexandria Gazette:
Dear Sir-An editorial in your paper OF
the 18th founded on what purports to be q
resolution passed by The Farmers Assembly
docs me injustice which l hope was unin-
territorial. No such resolution was passed
by the Farmers Assembly, I'm sure. Such
a resolution was reported from the commit.
tee, but was amended to conform to my
views in my remarks to the assembly, which
were in part published in the State of the
18th. and which paper doubtless you get.
To those remarks urged that the tax should
be taken off tobacco and fruit brandy only,
aud the assembly fully endorsed me in that.
Your slur at the farmers ignorance in the
last clause of your editorial is nncalled for,
and az the president of their assembly l
must resent it, and say that think the
farmers know what is their interest about
as we'll as they can be instructed by the Al
