The Campaign in Virginia.

Professionalism CoCKe has taken
the stump and Colonel O'FERRALL will
soon be on his track. Asa general thing
Joint discussions do no good, but it might
be well for these two gentlemen TO meet
in that way once at least. If Richmond
should be chosen as the place for such
discussion we could promise a large, re-
spectful and intelligent audience, includ-
ing many agriculturists from neighbor-
ing counties.
The DISPATCH likes the spirit of the
Democrats of Charlotte county in sub
hitting their differences to the chair
man of our State Committee for settle
ment. There are charges Of wrong-do-
ing at primary election held in that
county TO nominate candidate for the
House of Delegates, and we doubt not
that each sido think themselves in the
right. but discussion has proceeded as
far as it can be INDUCED in with safety.
Now, DIR. PRIDDY and Mr.. RICE, the two
claimants of the nomination, have agreed
TO leave tle whole matter to Chairman
ELLYsoN, or TO any committee OF nom
residents of Charlotte whom he may APP
point to investigate it, and with power
TO decide between them or to order
new election.
The action Of the Democratic Senatorial
District Convention, held at Saluda, Mid.
desex county, in endorsing their favor
tie (who happened TO be General FIrz
LEE for the long-term United States
senatorship, is likely to be followed by
expressions on the same subject from
other conventions. Wherever the friends
of candidate find themselves strong
enough to carry a resolution expressing
preference for their man they will be
apt to avail themselves of the opportu-
nity. A like course is being pursued in
some directions as to the Supreme-Court
iudgeships.
General FIELD showed no disposition
at Charlottesville on Monday to divide
time with Mr.. MASSEY but on future
day we trust that the Virginia public
will be treated to discussion between
these two. We take it that Mr.. MASSEY
is as much of an agriculturist as General
FIELD, and that he is quite as we'll quail
fed as the General to expound the cur
rency question. Their past neighborly
association would give discussion be-
tween MIR. MASSEY and the General
particular interest.
The City Democratic Committee Of
Richmond earnestly stroye, we doubt
not, TO appease the primary and con-
vention men both when it last night
determined upon a convention but re-
solved that the delegates to the conven-
ton should be chosen at primary cleo
ton. Candidates for the Senate and
House of Delegates will find this a
money-saving plan for them, as they
will not have to spend the money on
"workers" which they otherwise would.
The public also have much to be thank
full for in the resolution of the Com
mittee not to have the primary till Sep

WOULD SEE TIE BOYS.
Two Inmates of a Richmond Home Playa
Prank on the Matron.

There is an old saw which says Boys
Will be Boys" and with the sexes changed,
the saying is equally as applicable 70
girls.
A good illustration Of the truth OF the
proverb occurred at eleemosynary in
stitution in this city a few weeks ago.
For some months past the matron has
had a good deal of trouble with several
girls who are inmates of the home. The
young ladies were frequently caught talk
ing to boys who. contrary TO the rules OF
the institution. scaled the fence and en-
gagged in conversation with their fair
friends.
About a fortnight ago two naughty SIX
teen-year old misses tore couple or
blanks off the fence and ran away. The
matron, upon hearing of the escapade'
notified the police and Sergeant Tomlin-
son made a search for the fugitives.
They could not be found. and rumor had IL
that they had eloped with their sweet
hearts 10 Louisa. This was false alarm
however. for the pretty little sinners, ON
escaping from the institution, walked up
town and meeting "a GIRL whose cousin
was in the same institution, they went
10 her house and stayed there two days.
When information as TO their where
abouts had been obtained, a policeman
went to the hiding place OF the maids
and brought them back to the institution

WEDNESDAY. sLYTEMBER G, 1893,
Tho GrnYes AUTOPSY.

Now the Denver people are curious to
know what poison it was that DR.. L.
huArcHFR GRAVES possessed himself Of
nnd used in committing suicide.
He senior perhaps We should say
FIAT he ia alleged 10 have sent-Mrs.
BAESABY arscnite Of potassium, under

suffered much. and knowing all this We
NAV be sure that he sought some speed
Ger poison; but what, is not known yet
Mrs. GRAyEs protests that no autopsy
Is necessary the deceased left written
reoucst that none should be made, and
several Denver doctors have refused
o. DO the work. The doctors objec-
fions. however, are solely on the
ground that they DO not wish to under
take this laboiOus and exacting work
which. by the way, may make them
witnesses in coort aud victims OF the
Viles Of tho legal fraternity-until suit
able compensation for their services IS
guaranteed them. From this we con-
rlude that in Colorado, as well as in
Njrginis. there is a disposition to under
value medical services rendered the
Stat. OF this the physicians OF Viz
GINA have often complained, and with
good cause. A fee OF from 50 to 500
for medical or surgical WAX is begrudg-
indy pad whore corresponding skill
ani responsibility would yield some OF
tn professions i've times as much.
The Deuycrdoctors being wise in their
tencr'ion All having wholesome fear
OF being drawn into "a court case have
eemanded t.at assurance be given them
that suitable compensation shall be made
for their services, and they hold the key
" the situation.
There seems 20 prevail in Denver an
ldsa that IT. GRAVES compounded, or
he'd compounded Tor himself, some oc-
rnlt poison. but We doubt it. itc had q
motive 10 furnish Mrs. BAHStBY with a
,oison which would mystify those who
ipicht undertake to make an autopsy
upon her body. but there WAS no such
motive in his own case. His letter adj
dressed TO the coroner advertised the
death as death bysuicide. He probably
had little field of choice and was glad to
get any poison that he could lay his
hands upon. How be got it at all is as
yet mystery.
Probably the last writing OF DIR.
GBAvRs'5 Wa a request addressed to the
Denver county authorities asking that
his body lie sent to Connecticut for
burial ami that his wife and mother be
cent home and his wife (whose mind is
much disordered) be furnished with
female escort" All this he asked be-
cause his available funds were exhausted,
and because it appeared TO him that the
county owed it to him and his "for the
trouble which they have caused"

How as to the bounty on sugar pro-

fifty millions of dollars. These duties

City Hall Affairs.

The Council Committee on Grounds and
Buildings met In regular session last
evening. and disposed of great many
routine matters. 1t was decided to pay
Messrs. Broomell. Schmidt & Co. within

This firm was given the contract to
furnish the oak hand rail for the new

was authorized to advertise for bids for
the proposed drill shed back of the
Howitzer armory. Proposals will be re-
ceived I'D to the time of the next meet

The fault in most children's stockings
is that they wear out quickly at the knee
aud in the heels and toe. This oblec-
ton is overcome in our Patent Spliced
Knee goods, which are double in front
OF knee only. giving great durability and
at the same time proper elasticity. The
goods are made OF double yarn through
out and with an entire thread in spliced
knee. This color is guaranteed TO be
absolutely fast, does not crock nor turn
green and is free from all poisonous sub
stances, thus making them the most de-
sirable goods in the market, especially
adapted for boys and girls school use.

A Foreign View of the Situation.

n Foreign view Oh the SltuatlOn.
Thecablegrams from London in yester-
days papers furnish telling illustra-
ton of the difficulties which surround all
international financial problems. In
Londen it is held that the repeal Of the
SHERMAN silver-law will prove to be no
remedy for the effects Of that law upon
the financial condition Of the world.
These effects will be removed in due
time, and the repeal of the Objectionable
law may be regarded as the first step in
the direction Of total recovery from
all the bad results which have followed
the operation OF that law.
1t is also held in London that the pos
sbility that the United States and India
will raise gold loans is to be regarded as
warning i've suppose to all the
world except the United States and
India. But the man recognized IN Lon
don as the most distinguished financial
authority in thiscountry-namely, JoHs
sHKRmAN--holds that the one thing
which the United States Government
ought to do is to issue national bonds
wherewith TO procure gold TO be used in
keeping gold and silver at parity in the
United States. But il England is daily
warned" as she viii no doubt be, our
bonds viii be regarded in London as OBJ
s.acles in the pathway to . prosperous
condition Of the finances Of the world.

The New York "Tribune" asserts that
receat experience does not indicate that
"the safest time 10 travel is just after
bad railroad accident" The number of
serious accidents within the last few
days has been appalling. There may be
some law governing such occurrences,
but if so, 1t is obscure. Can it be, the
Tribune" asks, that the heat OF the
summer unnerves railroad employees, and
that they consequently relax their usu al
carefulness and vigilance?
