The recommendation Of the Governor
for the establishment in Virginia OF a
department OF banking and insurance 10
make examinations into the solvency of
companies doing business OF this sort
meets with the appreciation of most pru-
dent men. But to make such depart
ment effective for good to enable II TO he
of real service to the people. it must have
powers commensurate with the work ex-
pected of 1t. .
. The desire OF the public Is not so much
that a number of new offices snail be
created Uhough the cost thereof Is to be
taxed upon the cofnpanies) as that inno-
cent investors shall be safe-suarded
against fraudulent banking and insurance
concerns.
We believe that the present law requires
these concerns 10 make reports TO the
Auditor OF Public Accounts. but these re-
ports are sometimes widely at variance
with the facts. OF course the Auditor has
no time TO make personal inspection or
the assets of these companies his hands
are full with the duties OF auditing a
work tnat ne uVts WAN S""~Pe"o"S
fidelity and intelligence
We repeat that. In our opinion. Governor
O'Ferralrs recommendation is good one.
and should be- adopted. II The Legislature
Is prepared to give the department powers
that will enable IL 10 do its work tho
roughly.
We are sure that neither the Governor
nor the people would feel satisfied with
a law that fell short Of giving 10 the
department all needful and usual power
to hold to strict accountability the con-
Germs In question SO. those who shall
undertake TO frame the bin can give II
no better send or than evidence upon
its face that II will be the means OF
doing great good 10 the people.

RELIEF for city Cou.cll-ea.

II is we'll that the Common Council
has dismissed the matter of requiring
Richmond TO pay her councilmen. Such
In the olden time such men as Conway
Robinson, John A. Meredith. William W.
Crump. William III. Mcfarland, Isaac
Davenport. and Joseph II. Anderson
we're willing enough 10 serve the city
without pay. and We could not lopc
to get their superiors now. even II we
attached a salary to the position Of
councilman.
We admit. however. that the duties
OK city councilmen 1--WE here include the
aldermen. OF course,, are heavier now
than they were in times gone BY. We
are free to say. also, that some Of their
present work ought to be taken from
the shoulders OF our councilmen. And
the best way to do this IL to put the
gas-works under commission and create
board OF finance and audit, to whom
shall be committed many OF the irksome
and laborious duties now performed by
several of the City Council committees.
The expert accountant. whom II is pro-
posed TO employ. should be chosen by
this board and the board should direct
his Investigate tons. In no other way yet
suggested could an expert accountant be
made 10 serviceable, 50 independent so
fearless in the discharge Of his duties.
So, while the Dispatch could not sup
port any measure looking to paying our
councilmen for their services. We would
gladly acqhesce 10 their representation
that they are oyerworked and give them
the great help that two new commissions
could render.
The Chamber OF Commerce might well
begin the drafting OF its proposed petition
for charter changes By recitins that
whereas. Il In UNREASONABLE that the
duties Of councilmen have become very
laborious. and. whereas. the people OF
Richmond are willing TO relieve them or
some OF the most exacting duties that
they now have to perform: therefore,
that the Legislature create such and
such a commission, etc.
1t may be that the Chamber OF Com
merce will wish to ask for more than
two new commissions. but in our judg-
ment two will serve our present purpose
very well indeed, besides relieving, Ia "A
great extent. our overworked councilnen.

What IL almost comical is the easerness
with which nearly all the English
Journals are crying Hands oh' TO
Germany. and asserting that an English
Monroe doctrine Is necessary in South
Africa-that Is to say, the suzerainty OF
the Queen over the Transvaal leaves
no loop-hoie for foreign Intervention
from any quarter. and that neither
boundaries nor internal autonomy can
concern any Power except England.
That is the English Monroe doctrine.
as II is known in Australia, India. and
South Africa, however wicked and sg-
gressive It may be for Americans to de-
mand arbitration for the settlement or
the Venezuelan dispute.
So says the London correspondent Of
the New York Tribune. and We agree
