"a Faith strengthens us, enllghtens US,
for all endeapors and endurahces;
with faith we can do all and care all
and life itself has thousand times
been joyfully given away.
The Fight Must Go On.

Improvement for Richmond's health was
deliberately delayed, hindered and
frustrated by minority OF the Council
last night, and the disheartcnng feature
of The whole affair was the fact that
even those who voted loudest and lobbied
the hardest to maintain the present In
tolera6le conditions knew that the peo-
pie were Justified in their criticism OF
the health department and right IN de-
mantling the adoption Of the new ordi-
nance. In the way Of the demand stood
thre, ,noti> es and they are well worth
tie Individual and careful attention Of
every citizen who has the love Of life
in his heart of the fear of death before
his eyes.
First and foremost was the Inherent
native and almost ineradicable objection
OF the Council to giving up any part o.
its appointive power. Though there were
many who welcomed commissions
or health boards or any other
form OF administration that would
best conserve the public health
and promote the public happiness. there
we're Others like Mr.. Gilbert K. Pollock.
who, while he protested his desire for
better health conditions and his admira-
ton for the proposed health measure. still
voted to refer the whole question to the
decision OF the overwhelmingly hostile
Health Committee. because "he would
not vote for the creation OF any body Of
public officers whose terms lasted five
years ss
Happily for Richmond, the majority,
at least, OF the Council were not so care.
sfui OF that bodys appointive power as
Of the welfare Of the people.
The desire OF the Health Committee to
keep under Its control the administration
OF the city's health department. despite.
the lamentable failure that 1t has already
made, was another determining factor.
Only two members of that committee In
the Council supported this measure.
though OF all members Of the Council
none should have been more aware OF
the need for the changes asked.
The third and last important cause OF
opposition was expressed by Mr.. w. L.
White, who said that he voted against
the measure because he would not al
low any imputation of any sort to be
cast on his friends on the present health
board" So the people are to be unpro-
tected. the PRESENT incompetent and slip
shod methods are to be continued, and
the struggle for proper sanitation Is to be
prolonged until personal friends are salts
fled that mo imputation is cast on per-
sonal friends.
There Is this comfort. however, that
even those who delayed and INSTRUCTED
the cause of health last night knew they
were attempting q hopeless task. The
tide has set In Richmond for better
things, and the trained politician sees
It as we'll as the enthusiastic reformer.
Among those great improvements that
Richmond soon will make Is modern,
capable and earnest health board, In
charge OF an efficient department But
what an inexpressible pity it is that igno-
rance and personal motive should delay
that blessing by O single day.

INSPECTION Den1a nded.

The, President has transmitted to Con-
gress message conveying the report OF
Inspectors Reynolds and Neill on condi-
tons In the packing houses OF Chicago.
The disclosures are disgraceful to the
packers and nauseating to the public.
The meat packing industry OF the United
States, in the value Of. its products.
stands next to the iron and steel indus
tries. In 1900 the value OF the packing
house product was $3.50, 2525s6; the value
OF the iron and steel product in the same
year was $500, 1855, 273. In 1905 100000
head OF cattle, hogs and sheep were re-
ceived In Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha.
st. Louis. St. Joseph and st. Paul. These
cities handle annually about 100000 car
loads of animals on the hoof. That such
u industry should bc conducted as
Messrs. Reynolds and Neill describe Is a
disgrace to the nation, and intolerable.
The people will not stand for It. The
report Is In itself sufficient argument
in behalf OF the Presidents demand for
thorough ana efficient inspection by the
agents OF government.

structlon. These will increase the total

NEW YORK DESPERATE.
Now After Abbaticchio. Formerly of
 Boston,

Pittsburg, Pa, July 26.-The New York Nationals have determined to strengthen their team at any cost and have told Edward Abbaticchio, formerly of Boston, to practically name his own price if he will sign his name to New York contract. Mon- day John T. Brush and John Me- Graw went to Latrobe, Pa, where "Batty" is now acting as manager of his fathers big hotel. The cham pions have received permission from Boston to deal with the big player, who declared at the beginning of the season that he was through with baseball, While no one on the out side knows just what brush and Me- Graw of offered "Batty" if he would sign New York contract, it is said that the price is higher than was ever offered to player before. It was so high that the Italian has not turned it down and friends of his in this city believe that he cannot afford to do so. He promised Brush and Me Graw that he would give them an answer in a few days. It is thought here that he will be with the New Works before the month is out.
 Abbatiechio will not join the New York Giants after all. Yesterday af- | ternoon he called on President Brush and Manager McGraw, and told them that he had decided to remain at home and continue to conduct his ho- tel at Latrobe.
