taken.

posed looking TO the merging OF tne oi-
aces of sheriff and Treasurer.
pu, the 'livest' subject that VIII DC
nefore the Legislature will be that Of re-
trenchment. Here certainly. there VIII
he much wrangling. Here the orators
al, have their greatest opportunity. IL
Is matter In which the general pubic
feels deep interest, and the various
nroblems submitted are rendered all the
more difficult TO tackle" because there
IS lack OF coincidence .of opinion as TO
how and where the axe OF retrenchment
should be applied. There Is some YUMA
nimity OF opinion as to insignificant mat
tiers. but next to none as to big ones.
The greatest onslaught. 1t is plain 10
see. will be made upon the laws govern
ing criminal charges. The last Legisla-
lure passed several acts which have re-
auced these costs TO some extent, and II
romans 10 be seen whether further re-
auctions along that line cannot be made
7, would however, appear incredible that
the whole OF the $4,000 needed can be
secured by savings out OF our annual Dill
for criminal charges.

q urinary election law will excite some
interest in the Legislature. There are
many who think general law shouid
be passed to punish fraud at any pri-
mary. III the two houses OF the Legis-
lature take this view of the matter ana

right I'm case the Democratic party oil
this State decides to make future nominal
tions of United States senators By priS
mary elections, But In the event that
no suitable general Jaw be passed RICE
mond will ask for important amend
ments to her special law. 1t Is the de-
sire of our people that our primary cleo
ton law should conform as nearly as
possible 10 the regular election law, ana
that IT should apply to all primaries. Es-
pecially should it apply to the important
municipal primary to be held here next
spring.
While many new and untried men have
been elected. to, this Legislature, we re-
cognize upon the rolls the names of not
n few old and experienced members.
And then we have the "hold-over' sena-
tors. So. altogether, there is hne
rrcleus around which the new and un-
tried members may gather.
Skill and experience In legislative
hall count for much. There, as III many
other fields of human enterprise. the pattle
is not always to the strongest and most
jealous. Much depends upon having ac-
curate information as to how and when
moves should be made. Ana righ' 'heie

over the new member.

YOUNG GAMMON's DEATH.

The Atlanta Constitution declares that
II is a difficult matter to say just now
Young Cannon, the football player
came to his death. Dr. Nicolson, the
attending physician, is reported as
stating that:
''The blow which caused death was on
the head, producing concussion ana
hemorrhage at the base or the praii'.
DR.. Ridley. / think 1t was he. stated that
he saw Cannon when he fell, and that
he saw him lifted suddenly high into
the air and then hurled forward upon
his head with terrible force. II was
done i'm a scramble. and must have Deeh'
Of course. an accident
From the statements of the physicians
and of those who saw the fall, II APP
pears that Cannon was lifted by the
sudden rush of other players, and the
force of the collision raised him or the
ground. and as he fell he struck upon
his head. To have produced the injury 10
the brain from which he died the blow
must have been of great force.
For some time before death occurred
Ganimon's temperature had risen to lO5'
a degree of fever rarely reached ana
his pulse was beating at the rate OF 14O
n minute. The Constitution, however
reports that death came to the student
so gently that the transition from sleep
was barely perceptible. There was no
struggle when the final moment came
Though Cannon was picked up from
the field in an unconscious conditioh'
none of the football players supposed
that he wac dangerously hurt. His place
In the line was supplied by substitute
and the game went on about as usual
But as soon as the physicians examined
Cannon they "shook their heads.
',Fhey knew death almost at glance
and their practiced eyes were not de-
celved"
The death of young Cannon mas
caused a profound sensation throughout
Georgia, and for time. at least ioo'-
ball games will be discountenanceo' ny
the colleges and the public.
| We have seen no intimation III the
Georgia papers that there was any uniair
n,aving upon the part of the Virginians'
| The most that is said is that the VIZ
rinians were too big and heavy for the
Georgians. and that the latter were
overborne by the superior weight ana
strength OF our boys.

YESTERDAYS ELECTIONS.

The Democratic victory in Virginia yes
terday was complete. Our State ticket
is elected probably by $4,000 or $1,000 ma
jority. and we have secured at least three
of Delegates, and about four fifths of that
of the Senate. So, our party is safely
entrenched in power and position In this
State for the next four years. 1t would
not however, be wise for us to forget
that the magnitude of our triumph was
rendered possible by divisions in the
ranks of the Republicans, and that by the
time we next meet them in election array
their present breach may be healed
We never knew the Virginia Democracy
TO be more united, nor the Republicans
more divided, than they were yesterday.
In New York the Democratic nominees
scored great victory over their OPP
ponents. and Judge Van Wyck is TO be
the first Mayor of the enlarged city.
Though national issues were not dealt
with In the Tammany Hail platform, the
enemies of our party made all the capital
they could out of the fact that Van
Wyck voted for Mr.. Bryan last year
This. however, seems to have done Van
Wyck no harm. but the contrary. The
prospects of Democratic success at the
next national election are all the brighter
now, since Tammany has regained
power-and greater power than ever be-
fore.
The Maryland contest was very close
one. We have hopes that the Democrats
have elected a majority of the members
of the Legislature of that State, but at
the hour of this writing we cannot con-
ndentIy make such claim.
In Ohio, after making gallant fight
and almost reaching the goal Of success,
the Democrats appear to have been de-
feated. Knowing, as we do, what
methods Hanna resorted to to carry Vlr-
sinia last fall, we can well imagine how
desperately ne fought and how lavishly
he spent money to save his seat in the
Senate.
Taken altogether. yesterdays elections
are full Of hope and encouragement for
our party.

o,,R CITY,s PROGRESS"

Some one has said that no city can DC
n great city without nuisance IL TINS
no true Richmond is undoubtedly one OF
the greatest cities in the country She
has four nuisances, each or which com
mares fayorably with any nuisance any
other city can boast Of. These are 'he
nuisance of driving cattle through the
streets. the dog nuisance. the waste-pa-
rAr nuisance. and the rough-pavement
nuisance.
II nuisances are sign of citys pro-
orsss Richmond is getting there-has' III
fact gotten herewith all four feet. AT
Tho same time we are old fogy enough 10
orr, how long. oh. how long. are we to
suffer the Affections and pay the penalty
OF progress? How long are our tho
rourhfares to be livestock trails? HOW
long are pedestrians to run the risK OIL
hroak,ng homes while preambulating GER
tain Of our sidewalks? How long are
orr streets and front yards TO suggest d
great al fresco junk-shop? How long 'e
sleep TO be murdered by the rioting Oh
canine mass meetings? Seriously we DO
not believe there Is another city In tne
Union the size of Richmond that wouiu
countenance this sort Of progress. In
default of ordinances to abate such null
sances, public sentiment would demand
legislation adequate to their abatement
with unanimity and a positiveness that
would be quickly needed. When will
Richmond public sentiment take hold Of
the situation here in respect OF this mat
| ter, and deal with It vigorously?

The American Consul at Port au Prince
notifies the State Department that an
English syndicate has obtained control of
the customs revenue of San Domingo for
a period of 100 years by making loan
of $4,000 600 to the government. The syn
dicate takes charge of the custom-houses
of the republic. receives and collects all
duties on imports and exports. and pays
over to the government certain per
cent. of the revenue thus derived for the
current expenses of the government 1t
agrees to pay all the. outstanding obiiga-
tons of the government, and pay the
amount of the debt owed to the Ameri-
can syndicate that at present holds con-
troll of the customs revenue.
This syndicate will need watching, lest
II drift into partnership with the British
Government that will lead to complica-
ton under the Monroe doctrine.

Higher female education has just scored
anoibe- triumph on the Continent OF
Europe n the throwing open of the doors
of the University of Vienna to women.
The conditions under which women may
be matriculated are as follows: Cd They
must be Austrian subjects; (2) they must
be IS years Of age; C0 they must have
passed final examination in an Austrian
gymnasium or In some foreign gymna-
SUM of equal standing. Women adj
mitted as hearers must have finished sue
cessfully the courses of obstruction pre-
scribed in normal schools for girls or in
some other school of equal rank. If they
enter they must at least attend ten lee
lures a week in some department OF the
philosophical faculty. The number OF
women already registered for the winter
semester is thirteen. of whom eleven are
hearers and two matriculates. Four OF
the whole number registered take courses
in mathematics, four In philosophy, two
in physics, two in history and German
istic studies, and one in natural science,
including zoology. botany, and mineral
ogy. 1t is thought that the first Of the
conditions as to matriculates will soon
be set aside as being too provincial.

Eighteen new cases of diphtheria nave
Just been reported to the Health Depa''
ment of Baltimore.
DIR. McShane Is quoted in the Sun as
saving that much Of the spread is due
to allowing children already injected
with diphtheria. or who come from homes
where there are cases of the disease 10
attend the public schools" The Doctor
conferred recently with the School COM
missioners, and so impressed them with
the need of increased protection that they
issued a circular to principals requesting
that a close watch be kept upon the chill
dren. All pupils complaining OF sore
throat or giving other evidence OF TINS
most common of the premonitory symp-
toms are to return at once 10 their
homes, nor are children coming from
homes where the disease exists to be re-
ceived
There is a strict penalty TO be enforced
for violation of the ordinance which pro-
hibits the contact of those infected or
coming from places infected. and whica
insists on isolation of all known cases
But the ordinance is frequently disre-
garded by careless parents, who permit
their children to move at large, though
coming from infected homes, and thus
carry the disease to other children.
Despite the great number of cases re-
ported in Baltimore, the death rate has
been comparatively light. This Is mainly
que. the Sun says, to the use of anti
toxine. which has lessened the former
rate between 40 and so per cent.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

Tho General Assembly of Virginia.
which is TO begin work here on the first
Wednesday In December, will have two
Governors messages to considerable one
that of the outgoing and the other that
of the incoming Executive. II will also
have TO elect "the basement officers,
county judges. and senator In the
United States Congress to succeed the
Hon. John W. Daniel Ii will follow
therefore, that, as usual, very little gene
raj legislation will be effected until the
Christmas holidays have passed.
II is the Judgment of some that the
Legislature should not enter upon the
election of county judges until the yari-
ous propositions concesning our present
county court system have been passed
upon: but we doubt II a majority of the
members viii be controlled by that view,
All experience shows that when MEM

ofice-seekers they soon become anxious
10 relieve themselves OF annoyance by
holding the. caucuses as soon as pos

number of contested judgeships. and the

gent. Where there have been primary

the people the caucus will have 10 trou-
BILE In making its decisions. but in other
cases they will have no easy work 10 de-
eide who ought TO be nominated. And
