In congratulatiug Mr.. Cox we hope

the franchise invite rather than repel

and upbuild better state In which Il
better race may dwell. Those who arc
chosen to guido her councils and to
lead her representatives have before

We welcome such day. and we re-
ioice that it comes when the Democra-

TIL: GREATER MEDICAL. COLLEGE,.
With the practical assurance that the
Board OF Aldermen will tonight an
prove the hospital ordinance. those who
have dreamed OF Richmond as great
medical centre see their dreams fast
being fulfilled
great city for the study or med
icine Richmond already is! on tho
rolls OF the Medical College OF Virginia
arc 5e5 students, doing work of a
higher standard than ever before: to
the dispcnsarics OF the college come 500
patients every weok day; in the lee
ture-rooms some of the leading scien-
fists OF tho South are explaining 10 in
terested voting men those new discov-
cries which are notwithstanding medi-
cine and surgery
Tho new hospital will bc Of great
value TO the city and OF incidental value
to our college. In the wards OF the
hospital our workingmen and our
worthy sick can nnd shelter and treat
ment at the hands OF an able staff: in
the adjacent dispcnsarics, thousands OF
others viii receive the care of COM
petcnt physicians. Richmond Will iind
better health through better attention
10 the needs OF her citizens
From the college and from the CITY
Hospital y wider influence will extend
Even as now patients come 10 Rich
mond from the Carolinas and adjoining
States, so We may expect them 10 in
crease In number as the reputation of
tho college becomes better known, and
Is the advantages OF our many private
hospitals are moro widely advertised.
we may expect also that Richmond
will profit by that movement which is
consolidating medical education in u
few cities OF ample clinical and hospital
facilities. This il the goal % those
who are prepared 10 MAKO large con-
tributlons tor the training of physi-
clans. The agents OF these phllanthro-
psts. their exports. investigating con
ditions in all parts OF the country, have
decided that Richmond IS ona of the
cities in thc East whore = great ,nedi-
cal school can both flourish and serve.
Accordingly. we may anticipate in time
large endowinents for our college, even
as we are assured abundant clinical
material able teachers, sufficient nos
pital accotnm odations and a large stu
dent body.
Surely The friends Of medical cduca-
ton need only TO lift up their eyes to
sec the day when Richmond viii stand
first IN medical education among the
cities OF tho South
There is some consolation about the
fact that Harry Kenny and Tommy
Dyke are leading figures in New Yorks
last gangsters' shooting screpe. il is
at least possible to spell their names
