Mr.. Schlicl1t's Proposition.
w A~H11h - : y = = T '-7---',-'-
1,ho nronosition of Mr. %SChliCht and his

Tho proposition of Mr.. Schlicht and his
associates to furnish gas to the city or
Richmond at thirty cents per one thou
sand cubic feet, which we give in another
column, may furnish solution of the
problem raised by the present condition
OF our gas works. Briefly stated, Mr..
Schlicht and his associates, as we under
stand It, purpose going into the coke
business and would therefore !. have hay for
sale daily a large amount of gas, which
would DO made as a by-product. rms
gas they offer to sell the city at price
much lower than tho present cost OF
manufacture. Should tho proposition,
upon Investigation, prove to be guaran-
tced by responsible parties, its acceptance
would mean a reduction of more than.
% per cent. In the cost Of gas to the
consumer and would save the taxpayers
as we'll $4,000 q year, the interest on.
$500, 600, the estimated cost s,s Of restoring
tho gas works.A 55G y 3
This proposition does not involve the
sale or lease Of tho gas works or mains.
Tho city would sell nnd distribute tho
gas as at present. and the sole difference
would be that the gas would be manu-,
featured by a private concern Instead OF
by the city. Without giving our endorse
mcnt to the proposition, we consider 1T
one that deserves md should receive care
full consideration. for rit involves the
taxes, tho comfort and convenience Of the
citizens Of Richmond.

Chief Werner and Fake Clubs.

Chief Werner has taken q good step
and done public service I'm gathering
information against the fake clubs There
Is no disposition on the part Of citizens
general, to Interfere with those social or
CARNATIONS in which the sale of liquor
is an incident. There are, however,. So
called clubs which exist simply and solely
in order that they may sell liquor for
private profit without tho restraints which
are thrown by law around the recognized
bar-rooms. These clubs arc an outrage
and menace. The Times-Dispatch has
long been fighting these organizations, and
in this fight we are supported by the
respectable and Intelligent element of
this community. There is no reason or
justification for allowing a tar-room to
sell whiskey all hours OF the day and
night, on Sunday as we'll as on the week
days, undcr tho guise Of being a social
club, when 1t Is nothing Of the sort.
The only way to solve and settle this
difficulty. is for the Judge to refuse to
grant new discusses to those clubs which
can be shown to be fakes. The police de-
partment has done we'll to collect this
evidence, and Judge Witt will be In a
better position than ever before to pro-
tcct the people from these plague spots.

A Step Towards Health.

Richmond Is to DO congratulated on
another step towards better health which
was taken last Tuesday evening when
the Committee OH Charter, Ordinance
ana Reform adopted practically without
change the report Of the special COM
mittee appointed to investigate our
health conditions. If New Orleans can
cut It's death rate down from IS to 10 by
applying well known and simple sani-
tary precaution, even II 1t uses sur
face drainage and is exposed to yellow
fever, no possible justification can be
advanced for allowing Rlchmonds death
rate to remain at its present abnormally
high figure. Good health Is not to be
had for the asking. 1t will take steady
and Intelligent work to teach the public
habits of hygiene that. have long been
abandoned IL they were ever in use. But
this lesson can be taught just as well
MS any other that has to be learned. Tho
prime requisite Is q board of health
with sufficient Willingness and intelligence
to know what ought to be done and
with sufficient power to make that knowl-
edge effective. We Ill not cease nsitat-
ing this question until Richmond's
health receives that attention which it
deserves.

HIGGINS, he WALKED. :"

Some people are born mean, others
acquire the habit. TO this latter
class belongs our Sheriff, John Han
son. The way it happened was this:
The Sheriff having little business
up toward Hackley, offered to take
Judge Higgins up part way last Mon
day to point where cartridges were
thick and pick him up on his way
back and bring him home after his
two-minute stopper. Every thing
went according to program until the
wind commenced to blow at about a
fifty mile gait, and the rain turned
into snow. 1t turned the Sheriff.
thoughts to the JOY of a warm fire so
he put IN to Hackley to spend the
night. Meanwhile Judge Higgins
was out in the woods waiting for his
return. 1t was too wet to start fire
and being something of sprinter he
patiently trotted up and down the
road to keep warm until long after
dark. Footprints showed that he
made forty nine trips around bass
wood stump and that there was very
little in that locality that he didn't
run around. However, he was final
ly obliged to walk home, a matter Of
a dozen miles, and his thoughts ami
and remarks about the sheriff are not
printable. 1t is said that when be
reached home he spent the balance Of
the night bandaging his pedal ex
tremities so that he would be able tC
get on his shoes the next day in order
to settle With John, but we are unable
! to youch Tor the correctness OF this
report. OF course John had his ex
p;anation all ready the next day anc
told a hair-raising story of his escap'
from drowning on Twin Lake. Tb'
Judge, however, is skeptical, ant
after his term of Office is over i
would be we'll for John to do nothin.
to occasion his being brought befor'
the Judge, or something at hard labo
would be good prediction.
