IRON the richmond Christian Advocate Jan.
2Sth, issued the day the Koiner bill was
defeated
The legislature has before it a bill for lady
physicians for the female patients of our in
sane aSylumS. The surprise is that there has
been delay so long in the employment OF wo-
men, educated as physicians, to attend on the
unhappy inmates Of the gentler sex. The
suggestion carries rebuke for our neglect.
Virginians, with their proverbial tender re-
gard for women and adherence of any en-
croachment on their native modesty, cannot
but regret that public attention had not soon
er been directed to this delinquency in the
management of our Homes for the demented
The press of the State has been urgent
for the use of women skilled in medicine. At
Staunton, Va, there is the largest asylum,
and the INDICATOR of that city has eXerted
itself, reinforced by local information, tor
this betterment in the wards OF the women
1t is a grievous tax on the hearts OF parents
to leave daughter, with reason unseated, in
one of these huge hospitals. The mother can
not remain to hear the poor girl relate bodily
ills to maternal and needing ears. And
whatever the malady, the young maiden must
tell the story to strangers, to men. And men,
never seen before, must, not unfreQuentlv
make physical examinations. Surely shock
to delicate nerves, not curative in its conse-
quences. Ii there ever was demand for the
good Office OF woman to woman, it is in our
asylums.-
There comes at times a CHASTITY rumor. with
muttered words as if choked in the telling,
that wrongs which cannot be mentioned ha We
been wrought on matron or maiden by vile
men whom politics have placed in authori-
ty within the walls of these prisons for men
tai disorders.
The House of Delegates, with promptness
and unanimity, has forwarded with approval
to the Senate this bill endorsed by noble wo-
men not few, and commencing itself to the
best instincts of our race. 1t would astonish
the people ii our Senators SlOu Id cOntinue for
Staunton vindicator. [volume] (Staunton, Va.) 1860-1896, 1892-02-05

always right He agreed with the Senator
from Craig, Mr.. Marshall, that the necessity
for female physicians in our asylums was
upon u.s. If the women wanted the bill they
were going to have it 1t might be put off for
time, bu. it was bound to come. No man
could understand sane woman, and how on
earth, he asked, could a man be expected to
understand an insane woman. He was heart
lily in favor of the bill. He opposed the
amendment because he thought it would kill
the bill.
A TRIBUTE TO THE BOARDS.
Mr. Lovenstein said he had not heard an
argument in favor OF the bill, all was pure
sentiment. If the Boards deemed women
physicians necessary they could have them.
In the Eastern Asylum we have such men as
w. H. Taylor. Members of that board are
such men as d. e. Richardson, the we'll known
lawyer; Dr. Brock, the accomplished physic-
ian. If they desire female physicians the law
as it now stands gives them power to employ
them. If you go to the other asylums you
will see men of the same high calibre. When
the time comes and it becomes necessary for
female physicians, then the boards Of the
asylums can elect tie physicians. Consequent
ly l hope the committees report will be
adopted. The committee takes the same posi-
ton that is expressed in a telegram received a
short time ago from the Superintendent of the
Southwestern asylum. He says: II think
the matter should be left to the discretion of
the Board OF Visitors 1 want this matter
left where it now stands. trust that the
amendment offered by the Senator from Clarke
and amended by the Senator from Spottsyl-
vania will be voted down. Let US meet
the measure squareiy in the face. Don't tack
amendments on it; DON have any side issues.
The fight is on; let us stand and face it.
THE PENDING QUESTION.
Senator Green moved the pending ques-
ton.
The first amendment was then voted on and
lost. The second amendment was adopted
The vote was then taken On the report of the
committee. which recommended, by vote of
ten to two, that, 1.-THE bill do not pass
The vote as follows resulted in the adoption
OF the committees report, and the defeat of
the bill:

before the House, his speech in advocacy of
it was able and effective, and 4 gentleman
of long experience in public life tells lis that
it was the best he had ever heard a new
member make. He has a fine mind, clear
head, the energy of youth and the discre-
tion of years, and we shall be very much
mistaken if he does not make one of the
best records as a representative of his peo-
pie and Il guardian of the interests of the
State, that any Augusta delegate has ever
made in the House. His skillful manage
ment and able advocacy of the Woman Ply
stefan bill, has already, in the few weeks
lie has been at Richmond, made his name
Known throughout the State.

The Legislature for the Week.

There has been nothing of completed legisla-
ton at Richmond the past week, but the COM
mittees of both houses were quite busy The
House Railroad Committee has been hearing
argument for and against the Kent railroad
BILL and the House Finance Committee has
nearly ready the bill to carry out the Olcott
debt settlement. Two former professors in
the Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical
College at Blacksburg, appeared before the
Senate committee on public institutions and
learning, and made charges against the board
Of directors of that institution, claiming that
the affairs are badly managed. The commit
tee will ask the Senate for permission to in
vestigate the charges.
THE WOMAN LAWYER BILL.
Mrs. Annie r. Smith of Danville, appeared
Justice with her husband, and made an argu-
ment in favor of the bill permitting women
to practice law in Virginia She is a pretty
blonde about twenty-five years of age, and
wore black suit with close fitting black
hat. Her handsome husband brought the
law books in, and handed them to her as they
were needed in her argument. Her modest
demeanor, low voice and winning department
captured the committee independent of the
ability she showed and the strong weight of
argument and precedent that she brought to
bear. She said the Southern States in many
instances had set precedent and both Florida
and South Carolina had women practicing in
their courts. Some of her remarks were verv
fnclsive. "Why," she asked, lis it that you
will permit women to have license to keep
q saloon and yet refuse them the opportunity
to become lawyers?" Pennsylvania had
fought against it for years but had now passed
laws admitting women as lawyers. "Virgin-
ia will eventually have to succumb, and you
may as we'll do it gracefully now" She said
she had never heard of case where woman
lawyer absconded with her clients money.
The first vote on reporting her bill stood-Sen-
ators Jones, Little, Sands, Flood, and Tyler
IS, for reporting it adversely, and Senators
Harrison, Peters, Walton and Blackstone,
for reporting itfayorably. But Tyler changed
his vote and so by ito the committee resolved
to report her bill favorably.
THE REINFORCEMENT FOR CoNGREss-BoT
ETOURT ADDED TO THE 10TH DISTRICT
The Democratic caucus on Tuesday night
adopted the report of the joint committee on
Privileges and Elections on Reproducing
the State for representation in Congress. The
only change from the present apportionment
is that Botetourt is taken out of the 9th dis
trict and added to the 10th. The transfer OF
Botetourt with population of IA, S51 reduces
the Sixth District to 1884, and increases the
Tenth to 169,992. In the congressional cleo
tion of 1888 the Democratic majority in the
Sixth District was 3,697, and in the Tenth 594.
The Democratic majority in Botetourt county
was 1856. There was no Republican candidate
in the Sixth District OF Tenth District in 1890.

THE WORLD,S FAIR.

The Worlds Fair at Chicago promises to
be the wonder of the world. 1t will have
more size, more grandeur, more startling
effects, than any that has been held, far ex-
ceeding, it is generally conceded that Of
France, which far surpassed any of its pre-
decessors. The buildings, the grounds, and
the accessories will surpass in magnifcence
anything in the history of such eXpositions.
Naturally this has attracted the atten-
ton of the civilized world and greatly in
creased the competition of its peoples for
the best representation there for it is es-
timated that the attendance Of visitors at
Chicago will be unparalleled and it is this
publicity that each people is striving to Sc
cure. So far, thirty-nine foreign nations
and twenty-four colonies have made appro-
exhibits. So far tWenty-six States and two
territories of the American Union have
made appropriations for their representa-
ton at the exposition. 1t is al occasion
Oh which Virginia simply must be repre-
scented. She cannot afford to stay at home
She has too lately come to the eyes Of the
world with her great wealth of resources,
to be able to be absent from the dress pa
rade of the world at which the resources
of all commonwealth will pass in review.
The first step towards this has been the in
PRODUCTION of bill IN the legislature to
appropriate $4,000 this year and $4,000
next year to enable Board of World s
Fair Commissioners, one from each con-
gressional district, to he appointed by the
Governor, to collect, arrange and display
the products Of the State at the exposition.
The Board is to appoint two Executive
Commissioners, one of whom shall be a
practical business man, whose duty shall
be the collection and transportation Of ex-
hlbits to the Fair, and the other scientific
man who shall superintend the classical
ton, arrangement and SO forth, and one
woman assistant to tax charg Of he
woman s work. These officers and the Sec
rotary aud Treasurer are the only office Is
who will receive any salary.
We nope, and We ueIIeve our reaae.s will
heartily join us i'll the hope, that the legis
lature will pass this bill. Especially to the
Delegates and Senators from this Valley, "a
territory teeming with resources, does this
bill appeal for support. Their constitueI-
cies are vitally interested in it's passage;
they feel that in view of the opportunity at
Chicago it is ''now or never" with this sec
ton of Virginia. If this generation de-
sires to do anything for the State and see
the result of it during it's lifetime, then
this bill should pass.

A GHOST COMJURED UP.

Our versatile Contemporary the Clifton
Forge Valley Varginiags, which in one col
umn deplores the efforts of 1.-THE Staunton
VINDICATOR, Richmond State and other
papers" to ''bulldoze'' the Senate into pass
ing the Woman Physician bill, in the in
terest of the helpless insane women Of the
State, nimuly reappears in tie adjoining
column with the bulldozer's whip over the
backs of the Democrats in the legislature
in the interest of the railroad corporations.
1t says:
Suppose the railroad influence, which is
power in the State, would say to the Repub-
licans, we have been unjustly and oppressive
ly dealt with by the Legislature, and to cor
rect the wrongs inflicted upon us and the in
dustrial interests of the Commonwealth, they
were willing to cooperate with the Republic
cans, to remedy the wrongs that have been
effected, what would be the result? 1t would
simply be an overwhelming defeat for the
Democracy; the possession of the State gov
eminent by the Republicans. and the relegat-
ing to the sphere of private life the politicians
who had dared to trife ana dicker with inter-
ests SO important for the sake of few offices,
Well, if there was any hope for such
denOument, the Democratic members of the
Legislature may rest assured that the Vsr-
gilman, instead of the threatening bull.
dozer's whip, would be patting them OH the
back and telling them to go ahead and pass
afraid of anything of the kind. The rail-
roads know as well as anybody when they
are well off. Alabama, Arkansas, Florida,
Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina,
all have Railroad Commissions with power
to enforce rates like the Kent bill, and the
railroads have not yet found it to their adj
vantage in those States to cooperate with
the Republicans. - Still less would they
find it to their advantage to cooperate with
the mortal remains of that party in Vir-
ginia, the extent of whose power is to choose
delegates to the Republican National con-
vention and, here and there, constable or
two. The capital invested in railroads, like
all other capital, would rather be under
control in State wher- the intelli renee
rules, than to control in State where the
intelligence is under the feet of an irrespon-
sible boss in command of an insubordinate
and dislocated organization. But if they
were not thus wise, the railroads know the
folly of such an alliance. The largest DEM
ocratic majority ever given in Virginia
would be against any candidate of whom
it could be proven to the people that he had
the railroads at his back, or even if he was
strongly suspected of it. It is one of those
political ghosts the Virgimian is given to
elevating on pole to brighten Democratic
children.
