A GROWING THEORY.

a growing theory regarding the in

Of the theory. He says that until the

who had suffered several well-defned at

changing their bread diet to- cornbread

coal AND SALT.

The city Of Detroit is going into the
coal business and will supply. the people
with coal at cost price. says special
from that place Some time ago the
Common Council appropriated 5000 for
the purchase OF coal, to be sold by the
municipality; and Mayor Maybury has
approved the resolution.
We look to see other cities follow the
example of@Detroit, unless matters mend
soon. We, however. apprehend that
every city adopting such q course will
have hundreds of poor families begging
it for a load or half q load, or a basket
full OF coal. and 1t will be difficult to re-
fuse them.
During the civil war most Of the
counties and cities of this State bought
salt at wholesale and resold it at cost
price.

q coAL DEALER Held up.

The tengeness Of the coal situation
was well illustrated a few days ago by
| Mrs W. T. Richardson. boarding house
| keeper, of Detroit, Mich, Mrs. Richard
son has way OF saying that she gene
rally gets what she goes after, and one
is inclined to believe that her asser-
tons are not boastful. AT any rate, she
got the coal that she went after when
she called upon her dealers. On this oc-
casion, TO insure success, the redoubta-
BILE 1natron took with her pistol. When
she rendered the clerk $3.50 and demanded
an order on the yard for ton OF an
thracite coal, the latter individual, not
knowing of the propinquity Of the pistol.
declined TO sell the article at the price
offered. And thereupon Mrs. Richardson
reiterated her favorite declaration that
she generally gets what she goes after,
and produced the pistol to verify her as
sertion She got the coal. But when she
reached home she found that the weapon
was unloaGeG.
Mrs. Richardson. in explaining the In
cident for publication, said:
stThe coal dealers Of Detroit are hold
ing up every one for higher prices. I
have been dealing with Smith for fif-
teen years. and thought it was about
time some OF them were held UP, so I took
my husbands hammerless out Of the bu-
reau drawer. drove TO the coal office, and,
in ladylike manner. asked Boden the

This striking little adventure, aside
from It's appositeness at this chilly sea-
son. shows that where there's a will
there's a way. It shows too. that a wo-
mans way is apt to have a good deal TO
do with her will.

THE LEGISLATURE.

There was not quorum in either house
OF the Legislature yesterday: but to-day
the seats will be filled. We hope mem
with health and abundantly saturated
with good resolutions too sincerely taken
ever to be broken.
Our distinguished friends have had
quite a long holiday and should now be
eager for work. The Dispatch would not
consent for them TO be harshly criticised,
and has dissented from the view OF some
newspapers that much time has been un-
necessarily wasted. but certainly the day
is now at hand for a display OF legislative
Industry. TO that end each OF the i'm
portant committees should resolve that it
will work given number OF hours
per day and stick to the resolution
The trouble about advancing committee
work IS that some members are hope
1essly needless Of the consequences OF
breaking a quorum. To be without their
presence would be no great loss to their
committees. but the trouble is that when
they fall to report for duty the members

rum and consequently unable to do any

This evil is moi new: nor It is confined
to Virginia or to this Legislature Still
brave effort should be made to remedy
1t. Legislative sentiment hostile to such
absence and delays would do more in this
direction than anytting'else we know OF.
1t Is always true-it will be supremely
true in this case-that slipshod work in
committees never can be repaired upon
the floor OF the two houses
1t too often happens that hastily
written amendments put on the commit
tees work jar the whole fabric out of
shape. Such amendments do harm in
stead Of good: hence there are in some
legislatures, committees on revision.
This Legislature may decide to have
one. but whether 1t does or not new
Code Of Virginia laws surely will follow
ths worKfcf the session.
However. the present duty OF members
Is to frame the laws carefully and pass
them as speedily as may be consistent
with the public welfare. We trust they
will do their work so prudently. wisely,
and expeditiously as to wiring hearty
praises from public which is not prone TO
over-estimate the Industry OF our iegis-
latures.
