The Medical Examining Roard.

a AN AtSliNssA IsAolllAllAAitk A4StiANN
The fight that is being made on the
State Board of Medical Examiners is I'M
fortunate and greatly to be deplored.
The board is not perfect organizations
but 1t has done excellent work, and the
proposition to abolish district examina-
tons is, as we understand il, only an eff
fort to carry out more fully the principal
object for which the board was created
that of raising the standard of medical
education and efficiency in the State
Examinations by the whole board would
also seem TO present this advantage.
The institutions from which the
applicants come mp are not known
to the examiners. and prejudice in
favor OF or against any particu-
laf college cannot operate in the
matter of awarding certificates As to
the question of exempting from examina-
Ton by the board graduates of Virginia
medical schools, it would seem that if
the standard of our schools is what is
claimed, these should he the lastto favor
such exemption. Every graduate Of
Virginia medical institution who passes
the State Board at regular meeting
affords evidence of faithful and intelli-
gent work on the part OF both precep
tors and student No better advertise
ment for school could be asked than
this. Further it would seem that the
and confident graduate would
CONT the endorsement Of the board,
seeing that with the boards certificate
and his diploma be would be doubly
armed in the fight for securing public /
confidence. One of the shrewdcst of our
legislators has given as his deliberate /

backwards. Granting that the standard

Mr.. REAGAN in his speech in the United
States Senate on Thursday against the
BLAIB bill expressed his willingness TO
vote for constitutional measure. In
other words, Mr.. REAGAN regards the
pending bill as unconstitutional. MIR.
REAcAN's declaration may be regarded as
a good joke; but Mr.. GEORGE, Of Missis-
sippi, an ex-judge Of the Supreme Court
Of that State, who himself demonstrated
several years ago the constitutionality Of
the BLAIR bill, administered the severest
rebuke 10 Mr.. REAGAN that could have
been administered when he said that the
BLAIR bill in one or another OF its forms
had been voted for in the Senate by
Messrs. BERRY BLACKBURN, EUsTis,

A Suit which May Force Keeiy 20

A Philadelphia special says The
latest development concerning the Kelly
motor is an injunction which was grant
cd to-day against Mr.. Kelly. Bennett
c. Wilson is the complainant, and from
the array of eminent lawyers who ap-
peared for him in the Court OF Common
Pleas No. 3 it seems that there is now a
possibility OF the world knowing in the
near future more of this invention than
has heretofore been given to it. Com
plainaht Wilson is represented by Rufus
E. Shapley, A. l.. S. Shilds, and the pa
tent lawyers, J. Bonsall Taylor and
United States Assistant Attorney General
William @. Strawbrdge.
In the bill OF equity Wilson says that

ture in this city, be engaged the de-
fsndans, John W. Kelly, to varnish fur

The Richmond Dispatch with enter
prising industry gave on January LIST n
resume of the business there for 1887,
and also of the affairs of the city for that
year-a regular photograph in which at
glance might be seen what Richmond
has done and is doing. 1t shows, among
other evidences of progress, that Rich
mond's wholesale and jobbing trade,
which reached $l7,000,0G in 1885 was
S2J, OOO, 900 in 1887. The city has also
increased in population, manufactures,
and general enterprise. The statistics
make a good showing for Richmond, and
for the growth OF the Dispatch, which
latter has been evidenced during the
year by the purchase of S22, 600 fast

lation. -StdUnton YiRdicat0r.
