SUGGESTS sUSPENDING ORDINANCES.
General Greene Intimates Police Will En-
force Sidewalk Rules if Not Amended.

General Greene yesterday wrote TO the Mayor
suggesting that the Board of Aldermen suspend for
thirty davs or longer the ordinances relating to
sidewalk Instructions, which the police have failed
70 enforce for years. He suggests that the alder
men hold public hearings the question Of amend
ing the ordinances. as 10 meet the requirements
OF trade in some parts OF the city, and then decide
to amend the ordinances or not to amend them
General Greene intmates that If the ordinances are
not to be amended they must be enforced by the
police. He says:
have been frequently requested Of late TO issue
instructions TO the police concern themselves
with these ordinances and not TO make any arrests
for violation of them, but 1 have uniformly de-
cned 10 issue such instructions, because the exer-
else of discretion by members Of the Police De
partneut in the enforcement OF any law or ordi-
nance is. in my judgment not only without war
rant Of law, but IS injurious to the discipline OF the
teparment has been one of the chief causes OF ITS
decentralization in the past and is temptation to
dishonesty on the part OF members OF the uni
formed force in the various grades.

The Stuart Monument.

At the request Of the Veteran Cavalry
Associa ton OF Virginia. the Daughters
OF the confederacy have undertaken to
raise the money necessary TO complete
the Stuart monument fund, 80 as to
make the appropriation from the State
available. TO that end they have Jsent
return envelopes to such persons as tho
ladies think are disposed to contribute.
with the request that each one Of them
will send as much as he feels abba to
give.
We are gratificd to state that many
favorable replies have been received, and
the Daughters are much. encouraged.
They have never asked anything for
themselves and they have never APP
pealed In vain TO the patriotism Of the
Confederat,s.
As stated In last Sundays Times Dis
patch, the sum OF $1,000 must be raised
by private subscription within the next
three months. else the $4,000 approprta-
ton BY the Legislature, will be forfeited:
so tho countless friends Of this move

For Pure Elections.

The House yesterday passed by unani-
nous vote bill offered BY Mr.. Green. OF
fauquier, requiring each and every can
didate either before a primary or In a
general election to mako oath In advance
that they will not expend any money In
tho prosecution OF his candidacy except
as provided by law. This seems to us to
be a first rate measure and we hope It
will pass the Senate. It will greatly
strengthen the pure elections law. for
II will put the candidates on guard. and It
viii put vote sellers and party workers. "
so.caEed, on notice
Under the operation Of such law, no
candidate could plead ignorance, He
would know In advance that he could not
lawfully use money Improperly In his can
vass, and his oath would be as notice to
ali persons concerned that they must not
call upon him to spend money In suoh
way as TO make him per1urer.
The pure elections law has come to stay,
and We are gratifled to see that the don1i-
nant sentiment Of Legislature is In favor
OF perteetlng It and strengthening it at
every point.

were reached. The bill will have an

William c. Ritter. president OF the Vlr-
ginia Association Of the Deaf. has BY
investiga ton nscertained that there are
IN the State Of Virginia 23l negro children
who are either deaf or blind, and the
state makes no provision for their IN
struction. The proposal to establish a
school In the Interest OF these anEcteu
children has been approved BY the Board
Of visitors OF the Institution for the Deaf
and Blind at staunton, blythe Methodist
Conference by the State Baptist Associa-
ton and by large number OF pronl-
ncnt citizens throughout the Common
wealth. It is hardly credtable to virginia
that no provision is made for colored
children who are thus afflicted, while she
is spending $4,000 a year for the deaf and
blind children OF the white race.
No persons are more entitled to our pity
and sympathy than those who are de-
prived Of their sight or their powers OF
