KING GEORGE, VA, Jan. 22--Nuch eX-
element prevails here on account OF
smallpox, which, in the past few days, has
developed to an alarming degree. DR.. F.
F. Ninde, prominent physician, was
called to see q colored boy, who proved to
be suffering with this terrible disease, and
now there are seven cases in the neigh
borhood OF yellow HILL" which is several
miles from the central portion OF the
county, and removed from the general
business thoroughfares.
The disease is supposed to have been
brought here in old clothes from Washing
ton, and, thus far, is confined to coloreo
families entirely. Every possible precau-
ton is being used to prevent the spread
of the disease. The public schools are
being closed, and all public gatherings are
prohibited. DR.. f. Il. Ninde has been ap-
pointed by the Board OF Health to attend
all smallpox patients, and Drs- Carutfers
and Minor have been appointed to Faccl-
nate every person III the county
The first persons suffering from the dis-
ease were two coIored children, who We're
attending school when an eruption broke
out on them. They remained at home a
short while. and when they returned to
school were pock-marked. Ihen precau-
ton began to be taken, but mlready the
disease had spread among tne ScLooi Gill
dren, of which there were about seventy
five in this one school
In the past few weeks the Richmond
papers have arrived here on the day OF
publica ton, which is a greHt satisfaction.
Formerly they were thirty-slx nous old
when received and this prevented many
persons here from taking their State pa
pers, as they could get the Baltimore ana
Washington papers a few hours aAter De
ing published
This chnnge of schedule ought to make

CURIiENT TOPICS.

According to Prof. Hadley, of Yale
that public sentiment is not against them.
In the course OF lecture at Princeton
University last week, he said: Most
people object to trusts. Why? Largely
because they do not own them
The inference is that if they owned
them they would not object to them.
Therefore. their objection TO them is not
public sentiment. If they did own them
and took Il firm stand against them,
trusts would be shorn of the features to
which the public objects. In fact, the
trust5eYil would disappear.

| world Queen Victoria has obtained hap
piness In its fullest measure
In 1881, the very year In which the
young Princess assembled the British
throne there was born a girl in Bavaria.
who afterwards became the most beauti-
ful Queen in Europe. the Empress Eliza
beth OF Austria In all athletic pursuits
she cxcelled Her court was brilliant be-
yond compare. Perhaps the life of her
husband prevented her from giving that
share of her time to public affairs that
was vouoElsafed TO Queen Victoria, but be
that as it may. the Empress Elizabeth
gave herself rather to the social than to
the political world, while Queen Victoria
kept upon her steady way. And now
Queen Victoria lies dead in osborne
House, surrounded by her children, her
grandchildren and her great-grandchil-
dren, with the prayers and tears OF a
whole nation going up as an incense more
give. While the Empress Elizabeth,
whose home life was rendered miserable
by the loss of her only son. died on
wharf in Geneva from the hand Of an
assassin.
It is not our wish to seek to unfathom
or explain the mysteries BY which some
human lives seem born for sunshine and
the fullest measure of life and happiness,
while others so through this world as
through \ vale Of tears, but it is a COM
parison worth remembering that the
most virtuous, the most sclf-sacriticing
sovereign that the world has seen in the
nineteenth century was the one who, not
withstandinS the great sorrow that was
caused by the loss of her husband, yet
succeeded best in filing her life with the
satisfaction of high endeavor worthily
accomplished, and history will write down
Queen Victoria as both best and best-be-
loved.
In the very position that she held IN
the hearts of her subjects and in the
hearts OF all mankind lay her happiness.
i was a happiness that none could meas
ure and that none could take away, for
it lay beyond herself, and was but the
flower Of a life spent in trying to make
the world better for her presence Few
have ever had such opportunities and such
success.

We suggest, also that the Legislature
give its attention to the question of pub
Lefty which the newspapers have been
discussing for some time past The law
provides that the board of supervisors
in each county of the State shaii make
regular exhibits ct the amounts for pup
lie nurposes received and disbursed by
the board. 1t is required that detailed
statement Of the boards transactions
shall be posted at the co lrt-house door
end at each voting precinct Of the county,
or printed in the county newspaper
where there is such paper. or where
there is not in some newspaper in an adj
jacent county. We learn from contem-
poraries and from correspondents OF Inc
Times that in some counties of the State
this law Is d:sregarded. TIE Legislature
has nothing to do with the enforcement
OF the law, but our suggestion IS tiat
the law be so amended as to make II
binding upon the board Of supervisors
in each county TO print their statements
in the county paper, when there IS a news
paper in the county. as well as to post
the statements at the courthouse door
and at the voting precincts under the eX-
listing statute. By printing IN the county
newspaper each and every taxpayer
may thus have the opportunity OF taking
the public statement home with him and
studying it, and he clearly has The right
to copy of such a statement that he
may scrutinize 1t at his leisure. We be-
lieve that nothing more surely conduces
to the honest and Sfticient coEdtct OF
public affairs, especially Nhere the hand
ling of public funds is involved, as pub

vital Importance, and we respectfully sub
init the suggestion.

No such william ought to be permitted TO

scouting both parent and ctlild, would re-

there is no place for him in civilized So
ciety. Such a man is a murderer at
heart, and will be a murderer, in fact,
should murder be necessary to carry out
his purpose, and for our part we think
he is unfit TO live.
