ings, the establishment Of a State
Board of Charities and Correc-
tione, and the law making the un-
lawful selling of cocoaine felony.
ALI Of these laws were directed at
very real necessities in the social
and educational life of the State.
On the other hand, the State
money aid road bill, with it's ap.
preparation of $3.50, 600, met an
equally important need Of better

of the wealth now at the disposal
of TIE State, and though this may
not be properly classed as charity,
yet it would fall under the head
of that sense of social obllge tion
which was so prominent in the de.
alterations of the Legislature this
year. 1t is a note worthy fact,
however, that in cumming up the
whole work Of the General Assem-

HIS WAY A HARD ONE

CHICAGO, March 13-John r. Walsh
former president OF the Chicago Ma
tional Bank. Of this city, and con
victed of illegal use OF the funds OF
that institution, was today denied g
new trial by Judge Anderson, Of the
United States District Court, and SEN
fenced to serve Ave years In the Fed
eral peniteutiary at Fort Leaven-
worth.
AS matter of public history it
may be further stated that, al
though John r. Walsh was boln
in Ireland end came to America a
poor Irish boy, still Mr.. Walsh at
tanned an eninence in politics and
finance second to no one in the
great city of Chicago.
During the two terms that Mr..
Cleveland was President of the
United States, Mr.. Walsh's name
was often mentioned through the
public press in connection with
that Of the President, ard alweys
in words of praise. When William
j. Brysn Yves nominated in 1895
for the presidency, MIR. Walsh used
TIE banks that he controlled as
we'll as the two daily newspapers
that he likewise controlled fer
the purpose of defeating Mr..
Bryan. And when Mr.. Bryan
was again nominated in 1900,
Mr.. Walsh declared though his
papers that "the Democratic
party had become so corrupt and
30 debased that he could no longer
remcin in that party" And
through his newspapers openly
declared in favor of the Republi-
san rarty. and ever since has sup
ported tie Republican rarty in
national politics. And now, in

Work of the General A ssembl y
of Virginia

The Richr ond Times Dispatch
thus summarizes the work of the
General Assembly of Virginia: Al
the Legislature has practically
completed its work, we may sum
up what has been accomplished.
At the outset, let 1t be said that
this Legislature was distinctly con.
servatiVe, without being subservi
ent to corporate interests. The
spirit of discrimination pervaded
uost of it's work, and, though
some lll.considered and radical bills
were ffered, yet, in the main, the
enacted laws were not conceived
in luminosity nor passed in unfair
ness.
The repeal of the statute pro-
hibiting the pa-allehng of the
Richmond, Fredericksburg and Po-
tomac Railway was hailed as
great triumph of the anti-monopoly
spirit. 1t remains to be seen wheth.
er the people of Virginia will gain
any material benefit from this en-
actment.
Likewise, the bill aimed at the
formulation of a uniform system
of taxation sought to remedy one
of the NEST glaring defects in our
wi ole administration. But, again,
the slow strength of the happy
rossessors Of governmental favors
was too great to be overcome, ard
the Old Dominion will have to bat.
tie along for two years more with
six watches reported in one county
and 600 in another, and cattle as
sessed all the way from So to $18
a mead.
in Analysing the work CT the
Legislature, it is striking fact
that nearly all of it's important
measures fell under two distinct
heads, one of which comprises So
biological work; the other public
expenditure for roads and pensions.
Under the former head we find the
establishment of local option for
compulsory education, geological
survey, a school Of mines and two
lormal schools for the educational
part of it. On the sociological side,
nay be mentioned the increased
,owers for the Board of Health,
he extension of the child labor
aw, the abolition Of local hang
