J. P. Morgan, having: spent $1,200,000 for antiquities, Is due to return to Wall btreet and make a "killing."
do so appears certain from the fact that an ordinance covering the points desired by the government has al
ready been prepared and Is In the hands of the ordinance committee. That it will pass there is little doubt and that proper inspection of all meat kilted here will be the result, there is also little doubt. Richmond will be one of the very few cities of the size in the country to hare government inspection and this fact will operate to its benefit in more ways than one. To the credit of the local butchers it may be said that they have never been opposed to government Inspection, only asking that reasonable conditions be created so that no hardships would be worked on them, operating against their business and to their financial loss. When the matter of meat inspection is fully disposed of and the system is properly working, then the question of milk inspection should be given attention and the interests of the public properly safeguarded in
this respect.

CHANCE- FOR MEAT INSPECTION. Proper inspection of meat, for which the Palladium has long been contending, now appears to be within easy reach. The government has agreed to furnish inspectors for local slaughtering places provided the rules and regulations required by tho government are complied 'with, so that it remains for the city council to. make such, inspection possible. That it will
SHAMEFUL WASTE OF MONEY. It any private corporation or large business were run on such a plan as
the government follows in doing its public printing, the result would be
disastrous within a very short time ? and a receiver would be in charge. As-;
an example of how the printing busi ness is done and the shameful extrav agance and wastefulness that is prac
ticed, stands the following dispatch
from Washington City:
The government's printing bill,
which amounted to a little over $7,
500,000 last year, will drop to about
$3,500,000 this year, and this in spite
of the fact that a number of new bu
reaus have been established and several-new laws, including the immigration law, the pure food law,' and the railroad rate law, which entailed an
enormous amount of printing, have
come into operation. The congressional printing commission, of which Representative Charles B. Landis, of Indiana, is the active head, is working
out. plans for a etill further reduction of the printing bilL This commission will sit here from time to time during the summer and fall, and when Con
gress meets again will be prepared to recommend additional reform legisla
tion.
Just now the commission is wrest
ling with the problem of what to do with the surplus stock of printed matter the government has on hand. One of the acts which tho commission got through congress last year cut off the
printing of more than 1,000,000 volumes a year, which had been turned
out, not because they were needed, but because the law said so many volumes should be printed.
Millions of these volumes, most of
them obsolete and of no value except as old paper, are occupying ware
houses here at the capital, for which the government is paying annually
$15,000 in rent. These books are as
sacred from the touch of any one as the money in the vaults of the Treas
ury, and the commission has decided that it will require legislation to dispose of them. The enormous saving this year is traced directly to the
legislation of one year ago, which made the office or department which furnished the copy responsible for the
cost of printing. As a result of this
legislation many government publications have shrunk to one-half the number of pages they formerly con
tained. Mr. Landis has devoted much of his time during the last eighteen mqnths to a study of this problem of government printing, and he is certainly getting results. No one is more pleased with the reforms that have been brought about than the President, who more than two years ago called attention to the fact, that the government was wasting enormous sums of money on Its printing.

and conditions. He scored the present cars unmercifully, but said that the people of Richmond should act along Intelligent lines before any remedfes were suggested or even attempted and first secure the actual earning powers of the Richmond Street and Interurban railway company. After this had been done the citizens of the city could then. act in an intelligent manner and suggest plans and revisions.

"knockers." The present system he
said should be subjected to the strong

the people could act in a judicious manner. He termed the street cars.
piles of junk," "dirty" and "a dis
grace to civilized people" while they
are filled with all sorts of odors. The question in its entirety was dealt with
by Mr. Reeves in a most intelligent manner. Encouragement by Starr. Horace C. Starr gave a stirring address and said that there is nothing occurring In Richmond but what the Commercial club should have an ab-1 sorbing interest in it. In the course '
of his rertiarks he named a list of Richmond jS most prominent men, dead and living, who have done so much for the ci(y in every way and admonished the club members to keep up the most excellent standards these men had worked upon, and upon which the city of Richmond rests. Their standards should be remembered while the members of the Commercial club should work as these men had worked for Richmond's interests, with the same zeal and enthusiasm that has characterized the efforts of the men he had named. H. L. Monarch, a recent resident of Owensburg, Ky., but who is now a resident of Richmond responded to a very interesting toast. Touches Live Topics. Dr. T. Henry Davis spoke in behalf of better meat and milk inspection in this city and stated that not
a single dairyman should be allowed to sell milk within the city, unless he had first submitted his cows to the turbercullue test, a means of tell-! ing whether or not they have tuber- j culosis. The entire situation was re-j viewed. Adequate meat inspection ' was championed and he stated that the city should stand the cost of meat inspection, for If the butchers had to pay the Inspectors, the latter's eyes probably wrould sometimes become '- dim in performing his duties. Guard-1 ing against disease of all character was given as a needed precaution and he said the Commercial club should
lend its aid and support to both the adequate milk and meat inspection campaign. Mayor Schillinger, responding to a short toast, said that he with the Commercial" club, is with everything and everybody, which tends toward the development of a greater and better Richmond. Real Estate Values. In his address "VYm. K. Bradbury took up the question of real estate values in the city and said that mfiy people were complaining that real estate in Richmond did not afford good means for investment as values did not increase to a great enough extent Mr. Bradbury took this as a healthy condition and stated that it is through
this that Richmond stood at the head of the list of cities, where residents own the largest per cent of the properties in which they resided. The statistics which he gave in reference
to the real estate values in Richmond from time to time were very interest
ing.
Following Mr. Bradbury's address,
Horace Starr who has an enviable reputation In this city as a story teller,
spun several of his favorites, much to
thg amusement of the crowd and to the credit of himself.
Ex-President Speaks. Ex-President 13. '1L Johnson gave a
very eloquent speech on Richmond as a ii and Richmond as she is dstin
ed to be through the character of her
people. He dwelt on the recent census re
port and showed that it had not done
Richmond credit. His address was
very interesting and inspiring.
A. C. Lindemuth was the champion Qf the traction lines for the evening, and he said that Richmond's future development rests to a great extent
on the development of new traction
lines. He cited Marion as a city which had increased in population in the past few years, through the trac
tion lines. He said that the Commer
cial club should lend all support to
worthy traction line enterprises arid it would be' through this and only through this, that foreign capital could
be in the least interested, as the atti
tude of local men is always watched In
a venture of such character. Championed Y. M. C. A. In a stirring speech, George H.
Knollenberg championed the Y. M. C.
A. and said that it is the duty of every member of the Commercial club to help tho cause and it is a test of citizenship that they should do so. At the close of Mr. Knollenberg's remarks he was applauded for several moments, showing the members were in hearty accord with his remarks. Attorney John L. Rupe made a very pleasing and entertaining address, the gist of which was that all men in the city and particularly the members of the Commercial club should aid Richmond by boosting Richmond. E. G. Hill Speaks. E. G. Hill too, championed the Y. M. C. A. and his stand for the association was emphatic and he did not hesitate to tell those who had not yet
given to the cause, that they should do so. It is their duty, and as men they should respond cheerfully to the call, he said. Mr. Monarch was again called upon to tell a few stories and anecdotes and he succeeded immenselj'. The banquet served was an excellent one while tho work of th waiters who were members of the club, did credit to those who havp boon inMhe business for years. C. D. SHfer was head waiter and he was assisted by Ben Bartel. jr., Mr. Henley, Frank C. Kibbey, .TepPe Fletcher and E. "W. Craighead. The banquet was prepar
ed by the Tidies of the Eastern Star. Flowers Serve Double. The many bpantiful clusters of flowers which decorated the tables, and which were presented by E. G. Hill & Co., were donated to the Flower Mission and Reid Memorial hospital. The flowers sent to the mission wre turned over to the Margaret Smith home" for the aged women. The Tetrauq nuartet furnished music tH-oughout the evening.
Do Vou Digest What Vou Eat? It is one thing to eat and quite anjther to digest tho food. Many peoplt ;an't do the latter, and suffer for yean from indigestion without really knowing what is the matter with them. Thej just know that their "stomach is out oi irder." But the most important thing-, aftet ill, is to know what is the matter, foi ihen It is easy enough to know what to do. If the tdvice of thousands ef people is convincing tc ?ou then we Bay take Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin If you have any digestive trouble. As its lame indicates, it is for just that very ailment, ind that it cures Is proven by files of voluntary testimonials in our office. More direct and pertonal proof can be obtained by going to youi learest druggist and buying a SO cent r tl botde.

Annual reports of the secretary and treasurer of the board of associated charities were presented to the board at the meeting held Tuesday. The election of officers for the year resulted as follows: Rev. C. Huber President. Mary E. Whitridge Vice president. Elizabeth Beck Secretary. Emma E. Mather treasurer. Report of Secretary. Again we find we must render accounts, and give reports of happenings
great ana small, that Imve tome to our notice during the year just past. The experience of previous years has ever been present during fhe !at twelve months. The perplexing question of how to satisfy the great demand made upon us by the sick and destitute, when our meaiss were inadequate, confronted us. AVhile we have not made great advancement during the past year, we feel that through the different efforts put forth by 'this board, to bi ing to the public notice, the great needs and demands upon them, that many more people have become acquainted and interested in the work. Many more have responded to our circular letters sent out at different times during the winter. "We must thank the many kind friends of this cause, who have made it possible with their numerous gifts of money, coal. provisions, etc., for us to relieve suffering to the extent that we have done. Although the winter has not been severe, the demands made upon our funds have been great, and our efficient missionary has been kept very busy, as
she goes from home to home among the sick and suffering, and far as is possible, relieving their distress, by ministering to their bodily needs, and giving, comfort spiritually. Many deaths have occurred among people un
der our care and many sick had to be provided for.' Several unmanageable children were placed in homes of correction, and others were taken from inhuman parents and placed in com

Industrial School. We cannot close this brief report
without reference to one branch of this
society's work, which we all consider of the greatest importance, and farreaching in its influence, namely our Industrial school. We cannot overestimate the value of this work, when we consider that it is giving an opportunity, yes. we may say, the only op
portunity that many girls have, by which to fit themselves for worthy employment in homes of our city, and without which we must know that their lives will be worse than wasted.
A teacher has been secured for the
girls composing our class in domestic science, and they are very much de
lighted to have this chance for learning
the art of cooking. The class in sew
ing has been dispensed with, for need of suitable person or persons to lead it.
Does it seem right that toese young
Rirls, willing to learn, should remain in ignorance for want of training, that
could be so easily given by some of our
worthy women who have time and
means to spare for the work. Would
it not be a fitting monument to sojne
organization or persons5 charitably in
clined, to permanently equip a suitable place where both branches of this work could be taught. May we not hope that our work can so commend itself to the public, that friends will be raised up to help, especially in this line and that we may more fully realize great benefits derived therefrom. We ask for the prayers as well as the gifts of our friends that this good work may go on, and that many unfortunate ones may be raised for a useful and helpful life. ELIZABETH BECK. Secretary.

There Being no Competition In the Steel Trade, the Railroads are Powerless. One of the most serious things tho officials of the Richmond division have had to deal with for the past few months has ber-n the 'brittle rail," and during the time named, many rails
have been broken. The Richmond division has been an extremely lucky one, however, as no serious wrecks have occurred. Track walkers have been employed constantly to prevent any accident. The brittle rail Is caused by the effect of changing weather upon steel, which is not by any means superior. The steel manufacturers, according to the statement of a local official, have the railroads where they can pawn off any old thing onto t'.iem. The trust is the cause, for were there a number of Independent concerns operating in the steel Industry, the highest degree of excellence would be worked for by the several manufacturers, as it is at present, this is not the case as there is no competition, the trust selling what ever it sees fit. NEW SIGNAL SYSTEM. Work of completing the installation of the new block signal system on the Richmond division will be rushed to

PROPOSES A MEASURE. It is stated that Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Harlan has proposed a measure which will tcet the rate reduction laws of the various states. It Is suggested that the commission should order the railroads not to grant any preference in rates to state traffic over Interstate. This would require the roads to Ignore tho state laws, and bring the question Into courts. This would present an Interesting phase of the conflict between federal and state laws: and a supremo court decision would be f.ir reaching in Its effects. Railway and Engineering Review.
