HEALTH OF THE STATE.
It's Condition, for n Winter Month, i.
Quite satisfactory.

It's Condition, for n Winter Month, is
Quite satisfactory.
In his report for the month of Novem-
ber, DIR. ]. r. Laine, Secretary of the
State Board of Health, says that mortality
reports from 103 cities, towns, villages
and sanitary districts. having an aggre-
gate population of 1868, give l,0S7
deaths from all causes in November.
This corresponds to a death rate of SO
per month, or 1852 per annum.
There were 172 deaths due to consump-
ton, 81 to pneumonia, 81 to bronchitis. 10
to congestion of the lungs. Is to diarrhea
and dysentery, 20 to cholera infantum, 50
to other diseases of the stomach and
bowels, 80 to diphtheria, II to Group, Is
to scarlatina, 5 to whooping-cough, 36 to
typhoid fever, ? to malarial fevers, s to
cerebro-spinal fevers, 40 to cancer, to
erysipelas, "a to diseases of the heart, to
alcoholism and 427 to all other causes.
PREVAILING DISEASES.
Reports of prevailing diseases from 67
localities outside of the large cities show
63 cases of pneumonia, 13 of congestion of
the lungs, l58 of bronchitis, 81 OF pleurisy
ISS of diarrhea, "a of dysentery, q of
cholera morbus, Ii of cholera infantum,
46 of diphtheria l2S of which We're re-

San Rafael and Ventura report an epi-
demic OF whooping- cough, and Azusa re-
ports la grippe epidemic. Fresno reports
a case OF leprosy, cared for in the County
Pesthouse. No history of the case has
been given. A case OF confluent small
pox was reported by DIR. B. T. Mouser of
North Temescal. There is some doubt,
however, as to the disease having been
contracted at Fresno, as the disease has
not been reported from that point for
many months.
A copy OF The twelfth biennial report of
the California State Board of Health has
been sent to each local Board of Health.
In addition to a synopsis of the sanitary
work of the past two years, it contains
the sanitary laws of the State This to
local boards viii constitute its chief
value, as it will be found useful for ready
reference in matters relating to sanitary
affairs. If Secretaries of local boards
will forward the names and addresses of
the members of their boards a copy will
be forwarded to each. They will also be
sent to any one else who applies for a
copy.

THURSDAY. MARCH "a. 1892
No COMPROMISE.

The tone OF the speech made on Monday
fast by Mr.. BLAND. chairman OF the Com
tnittee on Coinage, Weights. and Mea-
sures, in the House of Representatives on
the silver question. does not indicate that
the monometsllistsl are gaining ground IN
that body or in the country at large, nor
prove the sagacity OF those OF them VINO
have 90 loudly detained against the
friends Of "the dollar Of the dsddies as
a few mischief-mskers bent upon giving
the Democratic party as much trouble as
possible. Mr.. BLAND is the night man 70
lead the b.metalists. He has no doubt
that he stands upon safe ground. He is
like the Englishman who is so cock-sure OF
everything that he makes no allowances
for the inability of his opponent 70 reach
the same conclusions to which he has come.
He stands mp before all the world as the
champion of bimetailism pure and simple.
and seems TO DO as confident OF winning
victory as If the results of the financial
legislation he proposes were already
known.
Mr.. BLAND and the rest of the free-siivcr
Democrats in the House of Representa-
tives must. however. not have one set OF
principles for use in the House OF Repre-
sentatives and another set tor sbe enter
tainment of the Wall-streeters. The peo-
ple of Virginia seem TO be we'll informed
on this subject according to the observa-
tions Of our Washington correspondent,
who stated in his telegram III yesterdays
issue of the DISPATCH that several OF the
Virginia congressman had said the day
before that so far as they knew the dele
cation would vote solidly for the free
coinage bill when 1t came up on the ques-
fion of Its passage. They believe that the
feeling among their constituents. and par
ficularly the farmers, is Overwhelmingly
an favor of free coinage.
Yes, Mr.. BLAND stood up for the farmers
Ale was as emphatic as ever in denouncing
Che London monometallists and the Wall
street manipulators Of the money market,
aud ranged himself in line, in his old-tlme
way, with the producing classes. The re-
mort is dscredited that the bimetallists in
the House of Representatives are wiling
TO accept compromise. We recently

to confound Congress with the Chicago
convention-not to look to the House of
Representatives nor TO the Senate for the
creed of the Democratic party. but to the
Democratic National Convention. If it
would be indefensible to pass freedom
age bill through Congress as Democratic
measure and then construct an anti-silver
platform at Chicago. so it would be indie
fensible TO pretend to side-trsck the silver
question at Chicago and then nominate for
President a man pledged by all his antece-
dents. all his outgivings on the subject,
and by his whole environment TO veto a
free-coinsge bill. There are numbers of
good Democrats who have not thus
wrapped themselves in the vestments of
WALL street.

The WISCONSIN Decision.

The decision of the Supreme Court of
Wisconsin that the congressional and legis-
tative appointments made by the last
Legislature of that State are unconstitu-
tional will raise some new questions for
final adjudication by the Supreme Court
pf the United States. or final decision by
the TIVE houses Of the Wisconsin Legisla-
ture acting separately, or by the national
House of Representatives acting only for
itself.
The Constitution of the United States
provides that each house OF Congress shall
be the Judge of the elections, qualifics-
tions, and returns OF Its own members.
So the Constitution of every State, so far
as we know. contains q similar provision
as to each house of the Legislature.
Therefore we cannot imagine upon what
ground the Supreme Court OF Wisconsin
based the decision we have just mention
ed. When the Wisconsin members Of the
national House of Representatives pre-
gent themselves ut Washington as the
chosen representatives of the people of
that State, will that body dare to 60
behind the returns? II SO, where will
Il stop in its work? Will it super
wise the redistricting of the State of
Wisconsin, and continue to do so until
the work is done 10 suit the lower house
OF Congress2 Or will new elections be
ordered in the districts as they existed be-
fore the unconstitutional districting was
done? Or will the Legislature chosen
under the new reapportionment be de-
elared no Legislature at all?
So as to the two houses of the State
Legislature. Each Of them being the Judge
Of the elections, qualifications, and re-
turns of its own members, it seems like
osurpstion for any court to attempt to
pass upon the constitutionality of re-
superintendent law. Virginia's constitu-
tional provision as TO reapportionment for
the election of congressman is that the
whole number Of members shall be appor-
tioned as nearly as may be according to
population, and that the districts shall
contain as nearly as may be an equal
number Of population" But when our
Legislature makes a reapportionment
there Is an end of the matter.
There can. we take it tor granted. be no
reason to doubt that the case under con-
eideration will 90 up TO the Supreme Court
Of the United States. The questions in
volved in it are some Of them national
questions. II would DO preposterous to
set up the clam that decision which thus
touches the national legislature in atender
point is one in which that tribunal has no
concern. The case will no doubt be I'D
vsnced and heard a. soon ~ possible.

Fighting a Judge.

The Association Of the Bar OF the CITY
OF New York has tried" Hon. Isaac @.
MAYNARD, Judge Of the Court Of Appeals,
and brought in verdict OF guilty OF
reprehensible conduct IN the Dutchess
county election case" and within few
days the Senators and Representatives in
the Albany Assembly will be called upon
by it to remove him from the high judicial
Office &c which he was recently elevated"
II seems that MAYNARD. as counsel for the
Board Of Canvassers. helped the Dem
ocrats 10 gain possession Of State which
had been wrongfully withheld from them
for many years. Whether the particular
action complained of was right or wrong
il question; but the alleged offence, II
committed at all. was committed before he
went upon the bench Of the Court OF Ap-
peals.
Some Of the New York papers have pun
gently pointed out recently that the bar
association has been far more Jealous in
this political case than it usually is in cases
where its members conspiie with sharpers
10 defeat the law, or where they TAI! In
their duty 81 fiducisries.

The Committee of Our Party.

The State Democratic Committee will
assemble here to-day to fix the time ano
place for holding the State convention,
which is TO elect delegates to Chicago anc
transact other important business.
We welcome the members to Richmond
May they be pleased with their visit anc
have unity and wisdom in their coun
ellis.
We hope and rather expect them tc
ADOPT Richmond as the place for the con
yention. We have room and welcome here
for the delegates, no matter, whether they
are to number $50 or 1,5O0.
And we verify believe that the Gooo
effects of an enthusiastic and brotherly
convention will spread out from Richmond
with more certainty and greater effective
ness than from any other city.

A Denial from senator German,

Senator GoRSas declines 70 be held re-
sponsible for the alleged interview " with
hin recently published in the New York
Szn by GEORGE AIFKEp TOWNSEND.
He states that some time ago he had an
hour or two's casual talk with TowxsxSp.
The result was that the latter went of and
wrote up the conversation from memory.
Mr.. GosMAs regrets that he has been
"made to criticise others when he had no
such intention, and did not do So"
This Is as we suspected. and in our re-
cent article dealing with some phases Of
that interview we declined to hold Mr..
GoRxAs responsible for it or any part of it.
Mr.. Towssxp is utterly unreliable. 1t

Admission of Patients 10 the Asylums.

ADMISSION Oh Fdtlcueo w ,AiO "a ~ A"A&S'
The Governor yesterday, in compliance
with n joint resolution of the General As
sembly, appointed a commission of three
physicians to inquire into and report upon
the expediency of changing the laws re-
earding the admission of patients into the
insane asylums of the State. One OF the
principal objects Of the Legislature
in providing for this commission
was TO ascertain if there are
not admitted into the asvlums many pa
tents who cannot be properly classed as
insane. but are harmless imbeciles, who
should be taken care of by their families.
In the debate in the General Assembly,
both on this resolution and the appropris-
tons for the asylums, it was contended
that such was the case, and that this was
one OF the reasons why the charge on the
Commonwealth for the maintenance OF
these institutions had increased so much
since the war

BUCKINGHAM BAD WEATHER.
Winter Lingers In the Lap of Spring
Farmers Wei Advanced.

Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
DIANA Mills. Va, March 2l.-The wea-
Their has moderated some. but it IS still un-
comfortably cold. Ii has been many years
SINCE we had such spell of weather as the
present Us late ~ this IN March. Truly
winter fingers in tho lap OF spring. We
don't know what it may do when May
comes. 1t is hard on some of our people
who are scarce of feed for their stock and
cattle. We have as yet no appearance OF
spring in the budding OF the fruit-trees or
sprincing up of vegetation. Many persons
who have had the grip are fearing re-
lapse. They keep close TO the fire; but
some Of our wood-piles are getting. low.
Our farmers are well up with their
ploughing for the spring and summer
crops, and were busily engaged in SOWING
oats when this spell of weather came upon
them. Most of them are aiming at crop
of tobacco this year. and have their plant
beds prepared. /,
Our public schools have generally closed
with satisfactory results.

AN INJUNCTION.

Several times in past years attempts
have been made TO remove the tracks, and
under the administration Of Mayor Court
land IL. Smith force Of men were put to
work TO tear up the track, but an ilIunc-,
ton stopped them and the city allowed
the matter to drop. Recently the city no
tilted the railroad company That unless 1t
paved the street and kept 1t in repair the
matter would be carried to the courts
and the injunction dissolved. Various
propositions to pave and repair portion
of the street have from time to time been
made by the railroad company, but all OF
them have been rejected, and last night
the railroad company practically agreed
20 the city's terms. This will end the
matter and give the railroad peaceabie
possession of the street.

ALONG RAILROAD FIGHT ENDED.
The Pennsylvania Company Agrees to the


fCorrespondonce OF the Richmond Dispatch.l
ALEXANDRIA. Va. March 23.-Ihe City
Council last night received proposition
of the PENNSYLVANIA railroad in regard TO
Their occupancy of Henry street for its
tracks. and referred the matter to the
Street Committee for action. 1t was also
determined to pave Lee street from Queen
to Princess, about the Midland freight
ward, and also to put up an electric light
about the fish wharf during the fishing
season.
For two or three years past q fight has
been going on between Alexandria city and
the Pennsylvania railroad over the occu-
pancy of Henry street by the railroad com
pany. The tracks. over which the fight Is
taking place, we're built during the war
for the convenience of the United States
troops. After the war the Pennsylvania
system took possession of them.
