CONSUMPTION AND INSPECTION.

II would seem from the annual report OF
the State Board of Health OF New York
that the inspection OF milk in the cities OF
that state has largely reduced the death
rate from consumption. This. the ooard
holds, is the result OF refusing to allow
the sale Of milk from herds that are al
fected with tuberculosis. The board there
fore expects the Legislature at this ses-
sion TO make suitable appropriation Tor
the prosecution Of its work of inspection
and condemnation.
Richmond is far behind most of the
cities OF this country in the inspection Oh
meats and milk Both of these things de-
mand our attention. but we have done
more TO guard the public against unsafe
milk than against unsafe meat.
whoever makes use Of his eyes when
droves OF cows, sheep. or hogs are going
through this city from the depots to the
slaughter-pens must know that many
such animals come here unfit to be eaten
by human beings.
II any evidence on this subject be need
ed it may be obtained from citizens who
live on the routes along which these
cattle are usually driven. These people
are bound to testify that many of the
animals reach Richmond in wretched
condition. So weak and sick arr some
of these animals IL not infrequently hap
pens that they die in their tracks. Only
a few weeks ago a dead hog lay oil day.
o.. OF
between Main and Cary. The presence OF
this dead hog where it was, and on Sun
day, when so many people were passing
to and from church, forced people TO
think what might have become Of that
hog If he had reached the cattle-pens
alive.
For our part, we are well satisfied that
sick hog would not be Intentionally
butchered for our markets. But the
trouble is that sick cows or hogs may be
butchered through ignorance or careless
ness. For this reason it is necessary that
there should be an expert inspector here.
Objection will doubtless be made that one
inspector would not be able to inspect
every diluidl lileiN 10 lhNtiiNtN IOi
ter in this market. And no doubt this
would be true but the inspector could
exert an influence far beyond his personal
presence. And he could at least inspect
the animals upon their arrival at the
depots here. If he did no more than
separate the sick from the well, he would
be of vast service.
So we need an inspector here, not only
to look out for milch cows and beeves
affected with tuberculosis, but to look out
for all sorts of sick animals intended for
slaughter and prevent them from being
butchered. Doubtless there is also need
for the inspection Of meat when it is ex-
posed for sale upon the stalls at the
markets and upon the blocks at the
green groceries; but we shall be content
to make progress gradually-but we wish
to make progress.

An Amendment Needed.

Boydton, Va, February IL, 1897.
TO the Editor Of the Dispatch:
The Legislature for number Of years
has been greatly concerned, and properly
so, about reducing the criminal expenses
of the State of Virginia. With a view OF
accomplishing that object a number OF
amendments and changes of the criminal
law have recently been made, among
them the amendment of section 4lO6, Code
Of Virginia of 1887. Under that section,
as it now stands, the justices of the peace
have original and exclusive jurisdiction OF
all misdemeanors occurring within their
jurisdiction (Acts 1856, page 92D, with
the right of appeal to county court in case
of conviction This change is saving, and
will continue TO save, the State large ex-
pense as is already noticeable in this
county. 1t is a good law, for there Is no
reason why the justices should not try
all misdemanor cases, the prisoner having
in all cases a right of appeal and trial
de novo before jury in the county court.
The only complaint l have heard of the
Jaw as IT now stands is that IL is difilcuit
to inaugurate many prosecutions Tor mis-
demanors before the justices. such as for
gaming sale of whiskey without a license,
presenting overseers of roads and num-
Der of other misdemanors / could men
ton. All of this can be remedied without
additional expense to the State by so
amending the grand jury law as to give
to the county courts and grand juries
jurisdiction to investigate and make pre-
sentiments Of misdemeanors, and when
presentment is so made require the court
to certify copy Of such presentment'
with names OF witnesses, to a justice or
the peace for trial.
Another change that will reduce the
criminal expenses greatly Is TO require
each city and county to defray its own
criminal expenses. l believe that change
alone will reduce criminal expenses
through the State at least $4,000 per an
mum. This / say after having been OH
cially connected with the matter of crimi-
nal expenses for eleven years in one of the
largest courts of the State. and after
much reflection on the subject

LAID UPON THE TABLE.

In many respects political conditions In
Alabama are similar TO those in Virginia.
For two years there has been a strong
sentiment there in favor of having a
convention to amend the State Constitu-
ton. and upon the assembling Of the
Legislature recently a bill was intro
duced ordering vote of the people as
to whether a convention should be held
or not.
This bill, or resolution, passed the House
by a small majority, but when it came
up in the Senate day before yesterday
it was laid upon the table by vote of
IS 10 II.
This ends the agitation, so far as the
present Legislature is concerned. 1t is
believed in Alabama that this is not a
good time to enter upon the work of
Notwithstanding. The same opinion
prevails i'm Virginia, and, If we mistake
not, our voters will go to the polls on the
9th of May and lay the convention ques-
ton on the table, as it were, by a very
decided majority.

The Supreme Court of Nebraska on
Tuesday rendered an opinion in the suit
of the Hon. William Jennings Bryan
and others against Elmer B. Stephen
son, in which the judgment Of the
lower court was affirmed. This was a
case where the proposition to issue
gold" bonds by the Lincoln Council was
antagonized because the proposition as
submitted to the voters did not contain
any authority for the. Council to insert
the gold cause. Bryan and other citi-
zens made test-case, and asked to
have the issue Of the bonds with the
payable in-gold" clause enjoined.
The order was granted in the District
Court, and Stephenson. the broker nego-
tiating the sale Of the bonds, brought
the case to the Superior Court. The high
est court has now reafIirmed the deci-
sion of the District Court. The amount
Of the bonds to be refunded is $4,000
The court did not pass directly on the
validity of gold-bonds, but merely on
the technical features of the election at
which the refunding bonds were voted.

The Rector's Daughter.

Puck)
Tripping softly down the aisle,
With a brave, religious air,
And a sinful little smile,
Comes the rector's daughter.
Kneels she I'm the family pew,
Bends her pretty head in prayer,
AS her father tells her TO.
And her mother taught her.
Eyes and hair as black as night,
Cheeks and lips like roses.
Little teeth, all pearly white,
Has the rector's daughter;
Form as frail as a cyclamen,
Tiniest of noses
Who shall blame the many men
That have valnly sought her?
Sings she with a hundred charms
Holy hymns and olden,
Just as though an angefs arms,
Heaven-sent. had caught her.
Yet these ways OF sanctity
One small soul embolden-
For to-day she winked at me,
Did the rector's daughter.
