Setter Inspection Promised.
The members of the city council are to be congratulated upon the fact that they have taken prompt action upon a matter that is of vital interest to the people of the city of Richmond without regard to their social or po
litical status. Since the story of the discovery of a bullock afflicted with tuberculosis at the abattoir appeared in the columns of the Palladium, hPi-A has hff n an insistent demand that safeguards be thrown about the
Inspection of cattle that are slaughtered in houses that do not receive gov

AN OFFICIAL PAPER SAYS
Restriction of Immigration as Settlement of the Japanese School Question is Not Likely to Be Satisfactory to Japs.
IPublishers' Press. Tokyo, Feb. IS. The Xichi Nlchi, which is looked upon as an authority in diplomatic affairs, discussing the San Francisco school incident, rays that placing a restriction by the United States on the adm'ssion of Japan ese immigrants from Hav.aii, which practically seems unavoidable, appears to be too high a price to pay for the solution of the school trouble, which it eiys is only a sida Issue. The whole question, it says, hinges. ou thvi disability of Japanese to become naturalized. If this is effected, the NJrhi Niehi thinks the last source of difficulty between Japan and the United States will cease. ' I

Is a thought that has rung down through the corridors of time, for endless ages and has found expression from the world's best thinkers THAT HE DOES. Will he continue to live in the enjoyment of life when the horrible conditions that have been established by the trust, and put into evidence by the DRUG TRUST and its unscrupulous agents here in RICHMOND? Is a question that has awakened in the minds, the best thought of the best thinkers, a strong doubt, and has led to the conclusion, unless there is a change that serfdom and slavery will be the lot of our great laboring classes. A great writer and eminent thinker has said "strike from the annals of the history of our great American Republic, of the fruits of thought and invention, that eliminate this class of society, and what would remain?" My dear COMMON BROTHER we are facing a condition and not a theory the DRUG TRUST here in RICHMOND requires of every traveling man that visits this city, to go before its secretary, and bow at the knee of BAHL and obtain a card and make oath or promise that he will neither sell or walk upon the same side of the street of the great friend of the people "THE ALF0RD DRUG CO. The drug trust here in Richmond is a branch of the National Drug Trust and does its biddings, this we are prepared to make oath upon. A certain man, we are told in the Holy Scriptures, went down into Jerico, and fell among thieves, but had he fallen among the DRUG TRUST agents here in Richmond, we fear the Lord would have had a much harder time to get him on his feet again. When the voice of the Lord rang out through the cool shades of Eden's evening, saying "ADAM, WHERE ART THOU?" trembling he appeared before the LORD, crouched in his meagre clothing of fig leaves, and with these weak words, said: "They tempted me, and I did eat." The meagre subterfuge of hypocrisy of the Drug Trust here in Richmond, will present a far more meagre and sorrowful wardrobe than did Adam When the voice of the great common people will ring down through the streets of Richmond and say, "common honesty and common decency, where art thou?" Don't like Adam when the great drug trust has defeated the aims and purposes of the common man's friend, say "WE WERE TEMPTED, AND THEIR FALSE PROMISES DID IT." And then cometh the voice of the Lord, saying: "We are at the corner of NINTH AND MAIN Street, doing business, with the thought ever in view WE ARE FOR MEN.
