Fold the surplus an inch or 50 over like

Now for the Hospital.

The ommittee on Relief OF THIS Poor

There is nothing else 10 do. The pres
ent almshouse IL past repairs, and it
must be abandoned. Moreover, the lot
can be sold for considerable sum
and the proceeds used toward erecting
the new building. But even II this
were not the case, It issln the Interest

tons on the same grounds under one
no mixing Of the races, but tire now
builaing should be placed near enough
to the building occupied by tho whites
to mako ono heating plant and one
Kitchen serve both. This is cntiro,y
practicable.
AS for tho proposed city hospital,
there are many strong arguments In
It's favor. The city is under the Same
obligation to care for the INDECENT sick
that it is to give shelter, clothing and
food to those who are destitute. This
burden cannot fairly be shifted to thy
hospitals. Moreover. a we'll appointed
public hospital would be both a pub
lie benefit and a pubic economy. When
u person is hopelcssly INDECENT, the
ain shousc is the place for him. but
when he Is INDECENT because of some
bodily iniirmity which may be cured
by skiiful treatment the place for such
person is a hospital 1t is far more
economical from every point OF Wow
to heal indigcncy than to support IL
for life, and 1t is n hundred fold
more humane. The city has no mora!
right to condemn man or woman to
lifelong indgcncS, when medical or
surgical skill can relieve it. The best
help is that which nelps a man to help
himself.
A city hospital would relieve the
almshouses of many burdens and save
expense in that direction. On the
other hand, it would be of enormous
benefit to the medical schools and
greatly increase the number of natric-
ulatcs. These schools bring a goodly
sum of money to tho city year after
year, and every dollar Of it remains
here. From a commercial point of
view, medical school is to be ranked
with a factory which brings in money
from the outside and dispenscs it in
tho city. a factory which would dis
bursc 100000 year in Richmond
would be we'll worth encouraging.
With city hospita. for clinical study
it is probable that the medical schools
of Richmond would bring in considera-
bly, more than that sum annually.
Now that the almshouse question
| is practically out OF the way let the
| Council give serious consideration to
the city hospital proposal. 1t is well
+! worth it.

A Vain Appeal.

A Vain Appeal.
The Houston Post takes issue with
the Charleston News and Courier IN
the assertion that no Southern man
could be elected President in 1905. 1t
says that the North has been more
liberal towards Southern candidates
than the South has been towards
Northern candidates for political office.
For proof of the libcrality of North
ern Republicans it points to the re-
cent election of Joseph NJ Dixon TO
the Senate to succeed William A.
clark. of Montana. Dixon Is young
esorth Caroinian, whose relhu'es
Fpught for the Confederacy. Another
Republican, Page Morris, former
Nirginian, was distinguished Reprc-
sentative from Minnesota.
For proof of the libcrality of North
ern Democrats it points to William A.
Harris. a Confederate colonel, who
represented Kansas III the United
states Senate; to l.. +. G, GarVin, a
nativc of Tennc ssee. who served Rhode
Island as Governor; to Francis o.
Newlands. a native of Mississippi, now
a Senator from Nevada; to General
s Roger A. Pryor. OF the Confederate
Army. who represented New York in
Congress- to John r. Fellows, VINO
followed his service in the Confeter-
acy with many political honors in
New York; to Bcrtram T. Clayton, a
native of Alabama, who served New
york in Congrs IS; to Rufus Is. POLK,
of Tennessee, who served Pennsylvania
In Congress; to John II. oNeall' OF
I South Carolina. who represented IN
diana in Congress: to John G. Bell, OF
Tennessee. who represented Colorado
in Congress: and to many other SOUTH
erners who have been honorcd by
Northern Democrats with public Office.
Our contemporary might also have
pointed to the fact that the Review
OF Reviews. in its current issue
declares that it is the duty OF the
south to come forward and save the
party. mo other section 1t says, mas
