CITY REGULATIONS.

| The Times Dispatch is pleased to
4 see that Mr.. A. r. Scott, of Henrico,
has taken the rational view and de-
the Board Of. Health governing the
milk trade. We are equally gratifled
that Mr.. Scott concurs in the view Of
The Times Dispatch In the matter Of
citizens rights.
| Richmond is not n CLOSE corpora
ltion" She invites outsiders to come
| in and trade with her, and she is very
| liberal as to the terms. But there
must be regulations of all branches of
trade. especially of the milk trade,
which involves the health and even
the life of the people. Milk is easily
infected, and II is the sworn duty Of
the Board of Health to make and
enforce such regulations as in their
Judgment arc necessary to insure its
purity. They cannot allow the milk
producers and milk dealers to make
their own regulations. II so some
producers and dealers would be sure
" sen infected MIX. Inc regulations
must be made so rigid as to reach the
most careless men in the craft. In
fact they are made especially for
dealers of that class. But when made
they must apply to all and must be
enforced against all. or they could
not be enforced at all.
We believe that the milk producers
of this community are honest and pro-
gressive men. We believe that they
are anxious to produce pure article.
We believe that they wish to improve
their methods and to satisfy the pub
lie that 1t is safe and wholesome to
drink milk. 1t is clearly in their In
terest to do SO. They must believe
that the regulations of the Board of
Health are designed to bring about
all these results. Hence these regula-
lions are sfor the benefit of the milk
men as we'll as the public. and in OBJ
serving them they are acting In their
own interest. We do not see how any
intelligent milkman can take differ
ent view.

ments he had no rivals

the possessor OF that added virtue of
being Southern. AS 1t is, we must feel
content that he comes of that
good Virginia ancestry which the

Mr. Bryan will. In n measure, when
elected, be the South's gift to the ma

AN EXPLANATION FROM MEMPHIS.

The Memphis News Scimitar says
that The Times-Dispatch is unfair In
its construction of our contemporary
article on the nomination of a South
ern man for the presidency. If SO, the
News Scimitar falls to point out our
error in its article. which we repro
duce elsewhere. There was no ques-
ton of Interpretation involved Our
contemporary discouraged the idea of
nominating Southern man, because,
as 1t alleged, there was no "presiden-
tial timber in the South, and said
that as the South had no competent
have to turn to Mr.. Bryan 1t says
the same thing in it's reJoinder. THE
South is not strong at this time in
great men, declares our contempor-
ern man, but are for the Westerner
Bryan) because he is superior in all
desirable presidential qualities to any
named Southcrner." That is precisely
several men in the South who are
every whit as we'll qualified for the
presidency as Mr.. Bryan, in intellect,
In character. in statecraft and in
craftsmanship; and vast deal sound
er in their Democracy. Any one of
them would. in our opinion. make a
safer and better President. than Mr..
cratic party, would stand better
chance of election.
