The Trailing Skirt Nuisance.
Philadelphia Press.

Philadelphia Press
One thing that might well have received
some expert attention at the tuberculosis
congress in New York is the trailing skirt
nuisance. No better agent for the colec-
ton and dissemination of germs could be
imagined. From out OF homes infected
with consumption the trailing skirt carries
its disease causing bacilli into the street,
public halls and convevances, where the
obliging draperies of other women sweep
them up and retransfer them to homes
not yet invaded by disease, but which in
turn become foci for infection.
This deadly rounl goes on simply be-
cause women are still the slaves of hurtful
fashions. The short skirt for the street
has indeed made its way into popularity
on rainy days, but for the most part is
worn by those who, by the general condi-
ton of life, are protected from the inya'
sion of disease germs. Moreover, on
rainy days, though the trailing skirt IS an
offanse to the eye of man, one would
think its bedraggled lengths worried its
owntr, it is not such germ gatherer as on
dry days, since the germs are washed
away by the rain in the air and on the
pave. On clear days, however, the short
skirt has by no means following even
among women who appreciate lis value IN
stormy weather, and the trailing garment
rules supreme.
If the average woman could be shown in
the laboratory in culture tubes and under
the microscope the varied flora of disease
causing germs that her trailing skirts carry
and stir up in the street and at home she
would marvel that the sex survived. Under
normal conditions of health the human
economy does resist germs of all kinds
but this is no reason for spreading them in
public or carrying them to homes where
in the case of the family or in the case
of the individuals, by reason OF physical
and social conditions, the vitality is lower
ed beyond the resisting point. In the
light of bacteriology the trailing skirt is a
crime against the public good and ought
to be suppressed.

LET US HOPE FOR BEST.

The makeup of the Constitutional Con-
vention is now settled. Of course the
Democrats will have absolute control Of
the body. Very few Republicans have
been elected members, for the reason that
there were but few Republican candidates.
If our party had selected good men as
candidates in all the counties and cities Of
the State, and well organized contest
been conducted, one half of the delegates,
in all probability, would have been Repub'
lcan. AS it Is, the indications are that
the convention will be a strong body of
men, and, if we are to Judge them by the
declarations they have made in the public
press and upon the hastings, they are
more conservative than it was at first an
ticipated they would be.
A convention which assemblies to change
or reform the organic law Of a State should
not be controlled by radicals or extremists
There is no necessity for any violent alter
ations in the constitutional law of Virginia.
In fact majority of the people have been
awakened to the fact that there was 10
necessity for a convention or new consti-
tuition, and if the thing was to do over, we
believe, the proposition to hold a conven-
ton would be defeated.
There is no use now, however, in indulg-
ing opinions as to what should have been
done. The convention was called, its
members have been chosen, and let us all
hope that wise and patriotic spirit will
dominate its deliberations. We trust that
it will be free from partisanry and that a
constitution will be framed so liberal and
lust that it will receive the cordial APPROX
al of all the people.

Hard LiCks For Swanson and Martin.

At rousing Montague meeting held IN

for Shumaker's to rival the reputation of

Public Institutions.
Richmond News.

One of the new things in this State
Which the constitutional convention should
provide for is State Board of Charities.
1t is needed now and will be more urgent
ly needed as the State grows. 1t is needed
not only to stand between the inmates
and officials of charitable and pena! insti-
tutions and to give official information to
the legislature of DEFICIENCIES and abuses,
but to keep the public informed. AS 1t Is,
the inside of a public institution is as
closely sealed as a tomb against the aver
age citizen. Such a board as is suggested,
and as nearly every other State has, would
be the eyes and ears and nose of the aver
age citizen, and all those organs are useful
in inquiries into the welfare of the pool
and helpless wards and slaves of the State.
There are many matters of which there
is now more or less complaint that such
board could adjust. For instance few
years ago the boards of directors Of the
various asyums in the State fell into the
habit of paying themselves S. per diem in
addition to their actual expenses. In
1895 the legislature passed a law that these
directors should get nothing beyond their
actual expenses.
As far as we know none OF the boards,
as such, draw any longer this prohibited
per diem, but we do know that what Is
known as the executive committees, made
up of part of each of these boards, are
today paying themselves S. per diem for
every day that they devote to the business
of these hospitals. In some of the hos
pitfalls tie per diem is charged and in
others fixed annual sum is paid by the
executive committee to their own mem
bers out Of the funds appropriated for the
maintenance of the institutions.
We do not undertake to say that these
members of the executive committees
should not receive some compensation,
but if so the legislature should so amend
the law, or better still provide for the State
Board of Charities.
In another part of this issue we print a
complaint of gentleman Of this city
against the food furnished bis wife, pay
patient in one of the State hospitals. We
know nothing of the circumstances or
merits of the case save as given by the
gentleman interested, but the fact that be
has complaint to lodge emphasizes the
fact that a State Board of Charities would
be desirable institution to consider and

SENTIMENT CHANGING.

There can no longer be any doubt that
political sentiment at the South is rapidly
undergoing change. The absurd posi-
lions taken by Mr. Bryan, as the leader OF
the Democracy, may, perhaps, have had
much to do with the change that is taking
Mace. but we are inclined to believe that
the most potent factor has been the intro
duction of the liberal and progressive
ideas of Republicanism. The thinking men,
the business men of the South have be-
come weary of the hide-bound theories OF
Democracy as we'll as disguised with the
Populism of Mr.. Bryan
The changed industrial conditions OF our
section are beginning to break down party
lines and induce our people to look be-
vond the lines that have heretofore been
drawn by sectional agitatOrs and bitter
partisans. They begin to realize that 1t is
not wise TO sacrifice our commercial inter-
ests upon the altar of political sentiment,
and that Southern men can be true to
their own people without subscribing to
the doctrine that nothing good can come
from north of Nason's and Dixon's line.
The South is now more deeply interest
ed in the expansion of trade and the con-
seouent expansion of American ideas and
influence than any other section OF the
Union. 1t is also more interested In
policy that protects and builds up our
manufacturing industries. Protection for
our home markets and expansion for the
extension of our trade in foreign markets
are essential to our continued and increas-
ing industrial development.
We do not hear so much of the violent
abuse of Republican theories of govern
ment that was once so common here.
Every day we can hear Democrats, who
are not politicians and aspirants for office
predicting that the South is destined tc
become ultimately the stronghold OF the
Republican party. With the fear Of negro
domination removed, they say that polite
al freedom will be restored to the white
men and they will not fail to vote for th'
men and measures that they think arr
right.
The South certainly needs more liberia
policies and broader craftsmanship thar
have been controlling it for the last thlrt!
years. 1t needs the cultivation and en-
largement of a national spirit and a pa
triotism that is free from sectionalism.

A WORTHY SUCCESSOR.
Something New Under The Sun"

All doctors have tried to cure CATARRH
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhalers
and drugs in paste form. Their powders
dry up the mucuous membranes causing
them to crack open and bleed. The pow
erful acids used in the inhalers have en-
tirely eaten away the same membranes
that their makers have aimed to cure,
while pastes and ointments can not reach
the disease. An old and experienced
practitioner who has for many years made
close study and specially of the treat
ment of CATARRH, has at last perfected
a Treatment which when faithfully used,
not only relieves at once, but permanently
cures CATARRd, by removing the cause,
stopping the discharges, and curing all in-
