THE PRESS CAN DO IT.

A number of Virginia contemporaries
are scoring the House of Delegates for
failure to pass Senator Glass Travelling
Auditors bill, which passed the Senate
practically without opposition. All these
contemporaries say, however. that the
fight is only Just begun, and that the
Dill will be reintroduced at the next ses-
sion of the Legislature, and will be ear
nestly supported by them.
The way to get that measure through
is for the newspapers of the State TO
begin right now to advocate the inspec-
ton system, and to educate public SEN
timent in that direction. More than
year ago The Times took up this question,
and in series of articles pointed out as
best it could the advantage to the State
OF having travelling inspectors who would
go in and out among the office-holders,
especially those whose duty it was to
handle public funds, and report to the
central authorities how the States af-
fairs were being carried on. Several OF
our Virginia contemporaries approved
the plan. but nothing approaching an o.
sanized fight was made in its behalf.
However, the editor Of one of the most
influential daily papers in the State in
troduced in the Senate bill to inaugu-
rate the system, and the Senate passed
IT with hardly a dissenting voice. This
IN itself was a triumph, and we are en-
couraged to believe that il che newspa-
pers of the State will only do their part
between this time and the next meet
ing of the General Assembly. there VIII
be such demand Throughout the length
and breadth of Virginia for complete
Inspection system, applying to every
branch OF the public service that a meas
ure of far greater scope than the travel
ing auditors bill will be passed.

Finally two former circus men named
Mcdonald and Lewis, armed with a BIZ

Dr. Julian P. Thomas, who came to this
city from Atlanta about five years age
declares that uncooked wheat IS the bsst
possible food for mankind. He says that
for the last seven years he has lived al
most entirely on this cereal, and that
his wife and child have subsisted upon
the same diet, the latter never having
tasted any cooked. Dr. Thomas theory
is that the vital qualities of food are de-
srroyed by cooking.
A remarkable case is reported from
Trenton N j. Isabel Kane, a bright
glrI about twelve years of age, has for
some time been suffering from burning
feet. Her feet become 50 hot that she
cannot stand the pain. and therefore
keeps them constantly immersed in ice
water. The strangest part of it all IS
that she takes into her system one nun
dred grains of opium a day, with no par
ticuIarly damaging results. Physicians
have been unable to give her any relief.
and it is presumed that when the opium
ceases to have any effect upon her it
VIII be necessary to amputate her feet.

court says as to who. are citizens Of
the United States entitled to these privil-
eyes and ammunities. It can be seen
ON pages q and 70 of 1e Wallace. The
substance OF It is. however. that since
the fourteenth amendment, every living
American. whether dwelling in Terri
tory or State. Is a citizen of the United
States entitled to all the privileges. and
immunities Of citizen. Of the United
States. Very well. One OF those privil-
eyes and immunities is. as the court
says, the right of free access to its
scaports through which sall operations
Of foreign commerce are conducted"
Is 1t 10 be said that the Porto Rican
has free access to the port of New
York. but that Qis personal property
that he brings along with him may be
taxed SO heavily as to force him to leave
It behind and to destruction? This
cannot be claimed except upon the
hypothesis that Porto Rican is not
a citizen of the United States, and If
he is not, then chaos has come again.

ing w. R. Dickens, whom he alleges rob
bed him while in his employ, and whom
he describes as five feet high, with curly
brown hair.
Mr. Fontaine says: lie came to me

He is from Fersusson's Wharf, Isle OF
Wight county, Va. He says mis- father
was from this State. His father and mo-
Their are at home in Virginia, where he
says he came from. They have not been
to see about their son. Dickens said af-
ter his arrest that this is not the first
time he has been caught.) He says that
a merchant in Smithfeld, named Guth-
rey, caught him stealing some money,
but the man did not punish him, but
took him before a notary public and
drew up a pledge that he would not do
ii again; and he took him back on that
promise. Dickens was soon caught do
ing the same thing. Guthrey discharged
him, and told him to leave the State,
Which Dickens did at once.
Dickins is now in jail here. The amount
stolen by him was about SIS ard the
amount he took OF Suthrey was ss21. His
trial will come off the 9Th of March.

THE OLD CAPITOL.

Before another session Of the Legisla-
ture shall have been held something must
be done to the old Capitol building to
make it llabitable. The ventilation is
wretched, especially Of the Senate Cham
Der. and we understand that at one time
recently eleven members of that branch
OF the Legislature were laid up at home
with severe colds, and unable to discharge
the duties of their position. To say moth
ing Of the inconvenience OF the thing. the
very life Of each member is imperilled.
A great deal has been said about the
wretched condition of the penitentiary.
and the State ought to take such action
as is necessary to give the convicts pure
air But the State should do as much
Tor the members of the Legislature as 1t
does for penitentiary convicts. Those
who sit in the Senate Chamber do not get
pure air, and unless something is done to
remedy the defect the time will soon
come when citizens will be afraid for
their lives to come to the Legislature.
Human life and health are too precious

and to drive capital out of Virginia.
1t is, in the opinion of some OF the
wisest members of the Legislature, ana
in our opinion, one. Of the most ms
chevous bills that was ever passed by
a Democratic body, and if it receives the
signature of the Governor and becomes
/, law it will do this state incalculable
harm, and bring the Democratic party
into contempt.
The hour is SO late that it is not con-
venient to review the bill! at length.

exert themselves to the utmost, it is.
further provided that each one OF them
shall receive as compensation, "one-
twentieth of one per centum, to be cal
culated on the amount of property and
incomes assessed under this act"
How such bill could have made its
way through both branches of the Leg
islature is past our comprehension. We
cannot believe that Governor Tyler will
put his signature to it.

when a chinaman issues invitations t
Ti,c Constitutional Convention.

The constitutional convention bill, which
passed the Senate last week, in the shape
it provided the manner OF voting, was a
trick. and one which. Like all tricks, can
not be defended before the voters until
the election.
The Senate bill as passed simply re-
1uires on the ticket, For Constitu-
tional Convention Let's see how one, S
vote will be counted. Take Dick Jones,
voter. who favors constitutional con-
yention-he will erase nothing; but sup
pose Dick Jones is against 4 constitu-
tional convention, what will he do? The
natural conclusion of the average voter
would be to strike out For ConStltu-
tional Convention No. that won't do,
for if Dick Jones does that he will not
vote ait all; but if Dick Jones wants to
vote against a convention he will first
erase Cor and write Against, so as
to read, against q Constitutional Con-
vention.'
We say this is an unfair scheme, as
Senators Wickham, AIunford. and others
declared on the floor of the Senate. and a
Democratic Legislature could not endorse
it. We are glad to say Senator Massle
voted against this trick. Two years ago
we had on tickets both For ana
Against" convention when weavoted on
the convention. Why could We not nave
the same this time No, a. certain set
in Virginia propose to carry the conven-
ton question, whether fairlE,or unfairly.
Senator Munford said Virginia was not
necessarily Democratic always! CHEAT
ing has been done, it IS said. in Black
Belt, but white voters In Write counties
cannot be cheated.-AnLherst New ERA.
The bill authorizing the voters to call
a constitutional convention, as 1t passed
the Virginia State Senate, IS another
sample of the contemplate work of the
little politicians. It provides that the
tickets shall all be printed For the
convention, and if any voter wishes to
vote against 1t he must scratch out
the word For" and write the word
Against on the ballot.
This dodge of the little Schemers shows
that they are afraid the whole scheme
will be turned down by the people as 1t
was a few years ago, unless they can
fool the voters by some sort Of political
trickery.
When the politicians rule the people
mourn And they ought to mourn. be-
cause they are foolish enough to trust
such men to make their laws.-Lynch-

losses in Battle.

Editor of The Times:
Sir-In your editorial of to-day, March
Sd, upon Several Things TO Think OF"
you give long list Of the total of Union
and Confederate losses, and make with
these comparison with British losses
in South Africa This is neither fair nor
correct.
It is the percentage of loss which is
calculated upon the numbers engaged in
each battle upon which comparison should
properly be based. The greatest esti-
mate OF loss on either side in our war
is the Confederate loss at Gettysburg"
"333 per cent" General Butler reports his
loss at "Spion Kop'' at 40 per cent.

cate 1t, and has not ceased from that
day to this, being firm in the belief that
the tax is Unconstitutional. and. If for no
better reason. should be repealed. The.
government has no right to levy a tax
save for the purpose of raising revenue.
and Mr.. Sherman, who framed the BILL
confesses that this tax was levied. not
for revenue, but to prevent State banks
from Issuing their notes. Apart from this
we firmly believe that to permit State
banks TO issue notes would completely
solve the currency question.
AS for Senator Daniel. we have always
held him in high esteem. He is a Viz.
ginian of whom we are proud. He IS an
American statesman, the peer of VIII
liam ]. Bryan or any other man who
has been mentioned in connection with
the Democratic nomination for the presi-
dency. and he is, in our opinion, in every
way qualified to be President of the
United States. We nominated Senator
Daniel upon his merits, feeling that an so
doing we were Faying him compliment
that he deserved. but never dreaming
f
that we would rally the Danville Regis
ter and other Bryan worshippers around
Hirginia's soldier statesman. Our Dur-.
pose i'm mentioning Sena tor Daniel in
this connection has already been served.
We desired to go<on record as having
expressed the conviction that Virginia.
''the Mother of Presidents had al least
one son in this day and generation who
was competent and worthy to fill the po-
sition which had been SO honorahly oc-
cupied by Washington, Jefferson, Madi-
son, Monroe, and Tyler We were graft
fed to note that many others took the
same view. We Paid our tribute to this
gifted son of Virginia. others paid their
tributes, and so our purpose has been
accomplished and the incident is closed
Major Daniel understood our motive,
and in his own manly and generous way
acknowledged the compliment that we
had in sincerity paid him. He dld NO
look for .ulterior motives" He did not
scent a "ruse." He did not suspc:t
scheme" But noble men like Daniel
are never Suspicious.

A LITTLE MANS SUSPICIOUS.

Under the head of another Trick
+. Exposed" the Danville Register prints
the following in its editorial column:
A certain element of the anti-Bryan
press which still claims to be Democratic
has persistently and artfully cndeaVored,
and is still endeavoring, TO defeat the
nomination of MIR. Bryan for President
first, by trying to discredit him. then by
trying TO discredit the silver issue, and
now by insi6iously attempting TO divide
the party in dts allegiance to bimetallism
by injecting other schemes for increas-
ing the circulating medium. They 90
not wish Ito see their suggestion prevail,
or if they wish it they have no hope
tina. it will, and their zeal is merely due
to the desire to divide the party.
Among the newspapers that have made
the most stubborn and plausible attempt
to defeat Bryan's nomination is the
Richmond Times. and Mr. William L..
Royall, one Of its editorial writers. The
first ruse of The Times 10 achieve its
purpose was the attempt to boom Sena-
tor Daniel for the presidency. but this
was soon exploded like a pricked bubble.
The scheme was. OF course. to try to
stampede the South to Daniel. and with
the West loyal to Bryan. thereby to SO
divide the silver elements. the West and
South that q Northern man. hostile to
the free silver cause. might leap into the
breach and win. The plan was an in
genious one. but Ii was a trifie too trans
parent.
Despairing of defeating Bryan's nomi-
nation. ehe artful gold advocates nave
sprung another ruse. This one is aimed
at the issue the man represents and not
at the man. We refer to the effort now
being made by Mr. Royal and The Times
and a few 1inanciers to arouse the hope
OF the re-est ablishnent of State banks by
advertising a nest case on the constitu-
rlonal.ty of the 10 per cent. tax on State
banks which they are ostcnsibly jealous
to have repealed. Thereby they hope to
divert the support of Southern Demo-
Gratis from bimctallism and by sending
them on following an ignis fatuus to
enable the anti-silver element to come In
and control the convention. The gentle
men with such fiery zeal for State banks
have really no hope OF seeing them es-
tablishcd and therefore canno. be
prompted by this motive. but by an ute
rior one. That one, in our opinion, Is as
we have stated, 1.-THE effort to divide the
West and South and weaken their now
united support of Bryan and b.meta4lisn1.
we ,are unwilling that the writer of
This article shall act as interpreter of
