THE WOMAN DOCTOR.

we believe that IL is the desire OF
large majority OF the thinking people
Of Virginia that there should be fe-
male physician for each OF our state
hospitals for the insane. If the pubic
wish is respected. the law will make IL
compulsory upon the Board Of Directors
of each asylum to secure such a phyA-
clan. and assign her TO duty In the wo-
mems ward. OF course. she should DE
under the direction OF the superintend-
ent. just as his other assistants are.
The proposition that has been made
that there should be a female nurse
10 20 the rounds of the womens
wards with the superintendent Tor as
sistant superintendent is very good, ana
is already in practice at some-may De
Mt all-of the State hospitals; but a wo-
man doctor could, OF course, DC much
more serviceable to the female patients
than a trained nurse
Though our Legislature has hereto
fore refused to change the law as desired.
we feel sure that it will do so eventu-
ally. 1t will not be able 10 Withstand
the rapidy-growing and very decided
public opinion on this subject. 1t may
be that there are proiudices on both sides
Of this question. But 1t does not seem
possible that the presence Of a woman
doctor in female Woodworking under
the orders of a man doctor-could 10
any harm. while such an arrangement
would most undoubtedly give great COM
fort TO many of our people who have
female relatives i'm the Virginia asy.ums.
So. viewed even from this unfavorable
standpoint, II would seem that the Legis-
lature would better Yield 20 the advo-
Gates than 10 the opponents of the pro-
position.
Rather than that this promising I'M
provement in the affairs Of our State
hospitals should fail we would urge the
Legislature 10 make provision for an
additional physician at each asylum.
said physician to be 4 woman. We have
ar absolutely unshakable faith in the
ultimate success Of the measure its
adoption may be postponed for awhile.

LEGISLATIVE WORK.

Tho D,spatch has several times com
uended the industry OF this Legislature
Further observation convinces us that
all the praise we gave IT on this account
is deserved. Both the Senate and House
are hard-working bodies. and the attend
ance upon the committees and upon the
floors of the two bodies Is good.
Rut owing to the fact that many OF
the legislators are new members much
NJ their legislation has been crude. The
consequence has been that the Governor
has been compelled to veto number oil
bills. whose imperfections he pointed out
80 clearly that no effort was made to
override his vetoes.
Some of the errors in question might
have been corrected by the committees;
some the houses alone could have cor
rooted while others. II detected by the
Enrolling Committee. shopld have IN
epires that committee 20 suggest a re-
call OF the bills OF Old the Enrolling
Committee was so critical and cautious
that much crude legislation that would
have reached the Governor otherwise
was suspended there until IT could be re-
called by the two houses. We would re-
commend that members be more careful
in drawing their bills, and committees
more careful i'm reporting them. Bills
have been passed at this session con-
tanning gross errors and not a few alb
surditics.
There can be no substitute for good
eommittee work Careless work done
In the preparation Of a bill by commit
tee is not likely to be corrected in
either house; it sticks In the bill TO the
ond-not even appearing, as rule, 10
10 the Enrolling Committee, which should
be composed of men who have the quail
fications of proofreaders.
We commend the industry Of the le-
glslators. but we urge them TO take more
pains in the drafting of their bills.

HOME INVESTMENTS THE BEST.

Under this caption the Richmond Dis
patch urges the people of that city TO
take more interest in the development
of its manufacturing industries, and says
that, III all the Richmond money that
has been invested elsewhere had
been invested here our city would
now have population tca or twenty
thousand greater than it now Las, and
our citizens private fortunes would be
some millions greater han they are now.
Little of good and much of evil have these
outside speculatons brought Upon this
city.
Now that we have our experience,
bought az dear prise AMI paid FOR
by much sacrifice. let US resolve that
hereafter we will Keep our capital here
where we can watch it closet. aud where
II will be safe"
This is sound logic. AID the experience
of Richmond is probably that OF hum
dreds of others. Home Investments are
always the best. when AL things are
considered. and yet thousands upon thou
sands of dollars are sant ont Of Virginia
every year, when the same cpu.i be IN
vested as proftably, IL not more so, at
home.-The Norfolk Nirgnian.
We do not believe that there is in this
country a safer or more profitable place
than Richmond in which to invest ones
money. And we predict that hereafter
our moneyed men will prefer TO put their
money down right here rather than SEND
II elsewhere, out OF sight and out OF
reach. If they will do this Richmond
may have everything she wants. she
may develop her water-power; she may
bring new manufactures here; she may
build herself grand opera-house' ana
she may set all Of our builders TO WORK
erecting factories, warehouses, shops, and
residences.
II is too late TO be crying over split
milk but we ought to profit by our dearly
paid-for experience. and invest all OF our
money in Richmond-in Richmond where
few investments have turned out badly
here where we can keep an eye upon
them all the time. Yes; home invest
ments are the best.

POLICEMEN As WITNESSES.

The Dispatch has received commune
cation asking il If the act recently passed
but not yet approved by the Governor
denying Witnesses fees TO policemen is
constitutional.
We cannot say that it Is unconstitu-
Aional, but 1t certainly seems very un-
Just. 1t proceeds. we take It, upon the
theory that as policemen are State Off
vers they should not be paid for attend
ing court. as other witnesses are paid.
Now. as matter of fact. policemen
are state officers only in name The
State pays no part OF their salary. All
that they receive for their services Is
paid them by the cities and towns Of
this State. Moreover, the time that they
spend IN court as witnesses is, for the
most part. taken from their hours off
duty: hours when they might be in bed
asleep or resting az their homes.
The unfairness OF the act Is further
shown by the fact that while 1t proposes
who are NOT paid by the State. 1t con-
tlnues to allow such fees to officers who
ARE paid by the State. Here at once
Is a rank discrimination against city Off
GERS and I'm favor Of county officers.
Such Injustice as this act will work can
not he defended upon the ground that
A will help 10 reduce criminal expenses.
We would better not attempt to reduce
expenses than do II at the sacrifice Of
e,cn-handed justice. There might be
some excuse for IL II police officers were
paid by the State. but being paid by the
cities of the Commonw eal,h 1t comes
very near being. II It is not, class legls-
lasion. And even allowing the plea that
this act is In the direction of retrench-
mcnt and economy why should the Le-
g.slature deprive police officers OF the
fees which could be collected Of defend
ants-not one cent Of which would come
out Of the public Treasury?
The act works such discrimination
against city officers. and Is so clearly
unfair. We cannot but hope that the Gov
crnor will prevent IT from becoming a law.
II the existing laws with respect TO the
payment of witnesses fees need revi-
sion. let this be done thoroughly and
hnpartally. and not so as 10 discriminate
against the large communities of this
State which bear the greater part OF the
expenses Of the State Government.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1896-02-04

We believe that the people OF this state
would like to see the bill of General
Hundley expediting criminal justice be-
come a law. There is popular demand
for a reform in our present system There
are too many chances for the criminal
to escape on technicalities, and too many
courts to which he's can appeal. The
pendulum has swung backward too far.
Nowadays 1t Is not the criminal VINO
needs protection so much as the out
ragged public.
We would give to every man a fair
and square trial before an unprejudiced
Judge and jury, and one court to appeal
to. That is to say, the way to convic-
ton ought to have fewer stumbling blocks
in II than 1t now has.
We have not examined General Humid
ley's bill very carefully. but from what
we have heard about 1t We feel sure that
II is a step in the right direction.

came under my observation TO show me
opsration OF this law: John Doe il IN
dcted for house burning. III ~ proved
before the grand jury that witnih TWO
or three months preceding their JhVesu-
CATION he had set fire TO thirteen buiiu-
tnes. no one Of which was worth as mucn
~ IOG. The man really seemed 10 De
afflicted with pyromania. but this has Ut
tie bearing upon the case. Under m
structions from the attorney Tor the
State the grand jury made thirteen IN
dsctments against him. instead OF Two
or three. in which all OF these trifiing
offences or burnings could have been
presented. The penalty for each offence
urder the statute Is confinement In the
pcnitentiary not less than two nor more
than five years. The defendant pleaded
guilty TO all Of the indictments. and upon
mction OF the commemorative ATTORNEY
the jury fixed the punishment In each
case at the minimum period OF tae st't-
ute. The Commonwealth Attorney re-
ceived SO In each case. making $lSv III
all for filing up thirteen blank indict-
ments and requesting the jury to give the
defendant the shortest term In each case
allowable under the statute.
Now two or three indictments would
have accomplished what all thirteen OF
these did. because under them all OF the
separate offences could have been proved
To- aggravate the crime and JUSTIFY the
court and jury in inficting the maximum
instead OF the minimum period OF m
prisonment. but the fee Of the attorney
would have been twenty or thirty DOL
lars instead OF $50.
This practice of piling up indictments
In similar cases Is prevalent IN tne STATE
