KISS THE BIBLE.

BY a vote of 16 to II. the Senate yester-
day defeated the bill intended to do away
with the use of the Bible In administer
ing oaths IN courts. The patron of it
was Mr.. Mc1lwaine. a very able, sincere.
and useful member. who found himself
In advance Of public sentiment on this
subject.
Several States have made the change in
the laws that he suggested in ours, but
In our opinion the judgment of the SEN
ate, as given yesterday. corresponds with
the sentiment of the masses in this State.
That many of the bibles used in our
courts arc dirty: that oftentimes the kiss
ing OF the Book Is more hastily and UNI
decorously done. and that there is some
chance of bacteria being spread from the
soIled cover or leaves, we concede. but ali
these objections can be met.
There is TO excuse for any courts using
dirty Bible; clean one can be easily
obtained, and at small ccst, and judges
and justices should see to it that 1t is
done. and that oaths are revcrently adj
ministered. The man who objects to be-
ing sworn on the Holy b.eie can, Of
course. make affirmation by holding up
his right hand. That Is his privilege.
and long has BEEN No one wishes to de-
prive him Of it.
The danger from the spread Of bacteria,
in the cases under consideration. Is ex.
aGserated by some speakers and writer's.
The beneticent bacteria exceed the mimi
cal ones by millions and millions. If it
were not so. the human race would have
been extinguished long ago. AS 1t Is. 1t is
going along quite happily and prosper
ously, and is increasing and multiplying.
The Dispatcl, would have the people of
Virginia profit by the lessons OF science
and pay heed to the learned. but not get
too panicky about bacteria. AS we nave
said before, it is observable that most
physicians take things pretty coolly,
and usually do not think it necessary to
change their raiment in passing from one
patient to another.
And 50 we are glad that the Senate has
differed with Mr.. McIlwaine in this in
stance. Lets hold on to the Bible in the
courts, but have clean Bibles there for
Witnesses lips to touch. And the cause
OF justice would be better served and the
dignity of the courts much increased if a
little more time were given to the pro-
per and rsverent administration Of oaths.,

The Smallpox In Greene.

TO the Editor Of the Dispatch:
on December 22d. the corpse OF a col.
ored woman was brought to RuckersVllle,
Va from: Pittsburg. Pa. with burial
permit. giving the cause Of death as
peritonitis-non- contagious The coffin
was opened and the burial occurred .ou
Deceniber Esd On January 9Th. a sister
Of the deceased woman was taken III and
in a few days developed smallpox. Va
rious theories have been advanced as to
the cause OF the conta gion. and some OF
them we're as fanc;fu1 as the frost on q
window pane on December morning.
IN reply to letter OF inquiry from the
attending physician at last letter came
from a. health off1ceh in Pittsburg, SAYING
the woman was sick only few days, and
died on her way to TIE hospital. a post
nnortenn was held by the coroner. who
found evidences Of pefitonttis. On Janu-.
airy 4th, sixteen days after the girls
death, Mrs. Palmer, a paralytic, who
had not been out Of her home for over
two years, developed smallpox. On the
same day. Mrs Frye washer woman
for the Palmer household, developed the
same disease, at her home.
The officer said he was puzzled about
Mrs Pa!mer's case. as he was not told
of the colore6 girls death nor did he.
know that Mrs. Frye worked for ne
Palmers He was about to give up trying
to trace that case when the inquiry
reached him from Ruckersville. and sup
piled the missing link. The skin OF. the
deceased at the autopsy and at the burial
showed no signs of eruption. In IN expe.s
rienee OF over 80 cases Of smallpox.
he had found four genuine cases, which
died before any eruption appeared. He IS

To die for his State, even by the loath-
