yania leading Franklin by only $40.
1t Is said that the heavy criminal exc
peDses In these mountain counties are re-
sponsible for these large deficits Thtn
can hardly be entirely true.
The criminal charges made In Buch-f
anan county in 1905 were 80, 2Ss.9s, and
that was within about SLIGO of what the
county drew out OF the State treasury in
excess OF It's revenues; but In Pittsyl-
vania, the next highest deficit county. the
criminal charges were s3,295.G2, less than
half OF the money the State furnished
to meet the county's deficit, and in
Franklin county tho criminal expenses
were s2,3s7.67. but fraction over third
of her deficit. From AZ careful study OF
the reports from the Auditors office, 1t
would seem that the criminal expenses
of these deficit counties. with the excep-
ton of Buchanan. are no greater proper
uonately than those OF other counties

We have a great deal more Kind
4ness than is ever spokcn.-Emerson.
Shall We Take the Risk?

The News Leader does not deny that
the slaughter-house OF W. s. Forbes q
+. Co. lie it should be established. might
prove to be nuisance. Its argument Is
that Messrs Forbes & Co. promise that
their enterprise will be conducted in such
way rs to give no offense
Mr.. Forbes proposes" says our con-
temporary, "to stake his investment of
one hundred thousand dollars or more
on his ability to establish and conduct
nm abattoIr which will not be offensive

asks for an ordinance which gives the
city government power to close him up,
nut him out of business. and make all
his plant useless If any recognized all-
thority decides that he is creating null
sance.'
But suppose that, in spite OF this fair
promise, and in spite Of Mr.. Forbes's
best endeavors. the abattoir should send
forth from time to time doors such as
are emitted from slanghter-houses uni
ycrsally? And suppose our "peppery,
energetic and aggressive Mayor" should
order the nbattolr to close7 Does the
News Leader or anybody believe that the
10000 abattoir would forthwith shut
down and stop smelling? But II not
what then? The burden of proof and the
burden of suppression would be on the
community. 1t would be necessary to file
complaint and to establish the fact that
the abattotr was n public nuisance, and
so offensive that 1t ought to be put out
az business To abate q nuisance OF that
nature would be to destroy valuable prop
crty and to throw many persons out OF
employment. The Mayor could not go
down with bevy OF policemen and by
force of arms close up the abattoir a
citizen cannot be deprived of his prop
erty except by due process of law. and
Mr.. Forbes would be an angel and not a
business man IL he did not fight for all
his rights under the law.
This would involve tedious. II not end
less, litigation, and in the meantime the
ebattoir would continue to perform the
function of the traditional herring in
the moonlight. and the public would have
to suffer.

Mr.. Trafford's Figures Reviewed

In to-day's issue we publish two re-
Views of the estimates made by Mr.. z.

One OF these reviews is by Professor Geo.

by Mr.. Edward ]. Willis, q mechanical
and electrical engineer OF Richmond.
Professor Sewers review was made for

that Of Mr.. Willis for The Ttmes-Dis-
patch. Mr.. Willis Is an expert; he Is in
no way interested save rs q citizen, and
he thoroughly understands the local situa-
ton in all its phases and bearings.
Professor Sever makes two estimates
OF tho relative cost OF lighting tho city
| and operating new machinery at the new
| Plmp-House, with and without munici-
pal electrical plant. One of these is
based on Mr.. Trafford's figures; the other
on his own. In the former, he makes
! it appear that the city would save 500
a year by contracting with the Passenger
and Power Company for $50 arc lights
at $50 year each, and installing new
machinery for pumping at the New Pump
House. In this, however, he charges
! the electrical plant operation with 5000
/ interest on tho estimated value OF the
Old Pump House property ana s5.4So for
i loss OF power in transmission to the New
j Pump-House.
i In the latter estimate. based on his
own figures, he makes It appear that tbs
i city would lose 1859 year by erecting
and operating n municipal nlant.

Wild Beasts at Large.

The last bulletin Of the Virginia Board
of Health shows that tuberculosis causes
more deaths in Virginia than any Other
pie Of Richmond Is that tuberculosis is
moro prevalent here than in any other
city in the State. During tho month OF
November there were twcnty-four deaths
In Richmond from tuberculosis against
forty-one In all other cities OF the State
combined.
Yet doctors are all agreed that tuber-
cuosis is n preventable disease, and that
its prevalence is due to negligence of
the people. If 1t should be announced
that there were Wild beats In this city
which destroyed in single month TWEEN
ty-four Of our citizens. tho whole city
would be aroused and steps would be
taken Immediately to destroy them, re-

tuberculosis bacilli are as SO many wild
beasts at large in this community. In
fact, they are worse than so many lions
| and tigers, for tho large beasts could
| be seen and avoided, while tho little beasts
float in the air and are too small to be
observed with the naked eye. and so they
prey upon their victims at will and with
out warning.
Tho trouble is that the people do not
believe this. or. If they do believe it, they
arc Indifferent because they do not see
the beasts. But whether they believe OF
not. the beasts are here and they arc
! doing their deadly work. Every man.
woman and child in the city Is liable to
be attacked by them; and still we GO
about our affairs in an Indifferent way
and do not take preeaution against them
1t is a reflection upon our intelligence and
our prudence. We should give this sub
ject our most serious consideration. and
we should, without regard to expense
tako Immediate steps to stamp out the
germs of this dreadful disease.
