souND-MoxEY MEN CONFIDENT.
Believe They VIII Control the Demo'
cratic Convention.
washington Post. yesterday)

washington Post, yesterday
While it was unquestionably true
few weeks ago that the silver Democrats
were likely TO control the national conyen-
ton at Chicago the conditions have now
changed. and the result is in doubt win
a decided leaning I'm favor OF the advo-
Gates Of the slngle-gold standard. Much
of this change is due to the work which
was inaugurated by the administration
when the possibility Of silver control irst
became apparent In Illinois. particularly
where the silver element had had every
thing pretty much its own way, a mark
cd change has occurred. and the anti
silver forces are well organized and con-
fident.
Another blow az the silver cause has
undoubtedly been dealt by the action OF
the Michigan convention. With a ma
jority OF silver men. and with great pro-
testatiOns Of which IL would do Tor sil-
yer. the convention nevertheless went on
record against the white metal. This
result IS almost universally accepted as
the forecast Of what win happen in Chi
cago. Even Ii the.silver men have ma
jorlty there. they will yield to what Rep
resentatiye Hartman, Of Montana, calls
"the seductive ard persuasive influences
Of the East Consequently, very lew
Democrats. except those whose devotion
10 the cause OF free coinage is extreme
are willing 10 predict now that silver Will
win the victory at Chicago. There may not
be an endorsement OF the single gold
standard. out il certainly does not appear
TO be absolutely certain that the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at a ratio Of
l6 10 1 viii be declared.
HOW THE STATES WILL STAND.
The action Of the Michigan convention
ard the gradual clearing Of the uncertain
" in many OF the States enables a much
more accurate forecast to be made now
Of the probable vote I'm the Democratic
National Convention than was possible a
few weeks ago. The table as it now
stands is as follows

School History of the United states.

The School History Of the United States.
by ]. William Jones. d. D., Of Virginia
the publication Of which by the r. IL.
Woodward Company. Baltimore, has Just
been announced. will be received by the
public with much interest. Mr.. Jones is
the author OF number of historical
works of recognized value. referring chief
ly to the period OF the civil war. As the
editor from 1876 to 1851 Of the fourteen vol
umes Of the invaluable Southern Hist0ri-
cal Papers" he obtained special prep
aration for dealing with the civil war
thus experimenting the information OBJ
tanned during his period Of service In the
Confederate army as soldier and chaplain,
and during his subsequent intimate asso-
citation with General II. L. Lee, at Wash
ington College. Va.
There has long been demand for
school history Of the United States which.
while fair TO all sections. would do full
Justice TO the Southern States. Many OF
our so-called histories are but perversions
Of fact. Written with knowledge OF but
one small section OF the country. they
have exaggerated the Importance of tri-
vial incidents In its history, 10 the neglect
of more important events elsewhere.
Bias, often unconscious. has contributed
10 further distort the truth, so that we
have no proper account In brief space OF
the Colonial period. the war OF the kevo-
luton, the formation OF the Constitution,
and the ideas that instrument was design
ed TO express. The period from the for
nation of the government 10 1851 has been
described with equal unfairness. When
we come to the civil war. Its events.

TO press the proposition when they know
that it is opposed by the conservative SEN

interesting to note that II this should be

Of the convention. IN other words. IL
this gold column Is approximately correct.
and Illinois and Iowa are added TO II.

about Indiana, or Kentucky, or Nebraska.

There Will be two delegations from
Nebraska. and the one finally seated will
undoubtedly be the one In sympathy with
the majority sentiment of the convention
In Kentucky the fight Is 10 be fought TO
"a finish, and the result IS In doubt al
though both sides are claiming the victory.
South Dakota is also uncertain. while In
diana will probably conclude to split even
with the delegation. II is quite probable
that Illinois will be after all, the pivotal
ground. just as 1t has been In the cam
paign Of McKinley's nomination.

Let us hope that an understanding Will
soon be arrived at by which the street
car track-laying on west Broad street
may be pushed to early completion. The
sooner the Traction Company's line is
finished the better And we would like
to see the old company extend its tracks
from Main street to the Exposition
Grounds. During the Confederate re-
union here we shall need all the means
of transportation possible for TO have
between the city and the Exposition
Grounds. 1t is altogether unlikely that
we shall have a surplus; 1t is far more
probable that we shall have too little
1t will take an immense number Of
street-cars TO move 10000 or 1900 people
and fully this number will wish to come
to Richmond at the close of each session
of the Grand Encampment.
Let us all remember that the reunion
cannot be a success unless we have the
amplest street-car facilities. We shall
not undertake to censure any one in the
matter of the pending dispute as to the
BrOad-street tracks. but we beg every
body to whom the reputation of Rich
mond is dear to do his utmost to expe-
dite a settlement so that the Traction
Company may so. into operation soon.
There is no time to lose. The new line
ought to be in tip-top working order
weeks ahead of the time of the reunion,
so that it may be fully tested, and so
that running schedules for its cars may
be arranged to tho best advantage. And
as we have said before. we should like
to see the old companys tracks extended
to the Exposition-Grounds from their
Main-street line at some point west Of
the baseball park.

The Governor and Attorney-General
have selected thirty-iour acts Of Assembly
TO be published in newspapers to be des-
ignated To- the President of the Senate
and the Speaker of the House of Dele
gates. OF this number sixteen are Senate
bills and eighteen House bills. Among
the important ones are the fraternities
societies bills, game, warden, immigra-
ton bill, license brokers, extending JuIis-
dlction Of Orphans Court regulating the
practice of medicine prescribing the reg
ulatlons ana conditions upon which the
Board of Public Works shall sell the
States interest in all works Of public inn
provement. the free-schoo-b bill,
relating to health in workshops ana fac
tories. bay fishing, bicycle law, oyster ton
mage, geological survey and others.-The
Baltimore Sun.
Virginia ought to have some such law
as this providing for the publication in
newspapers of acts Of Assembly which
concern the people generally. Our pre-
sent system is inadequate and far be-
hind the times. Good proof of this is
found in the fact that the law with re-
spect TO the trial of misdemeanor cases
enacted at the late session OF the Legis-
lature. is just becoming known through
out the state. The State officers who
brought the charges against Lacey and
others for violation OF the Maupin law at
Alexandria seem not TO have been aware
that the old law had been amended. This
could hardly have happened had the law
IN question been given extended news
paper publication.

The wisdom of the Senate In reducing
from four TO two the number OF battle
ships provided for in the bin for in
creaslng the navy would seem questona-
BILE, to say the least. The plea advanced
by the Senate for its action was economy,
and a desire TO protect the Treasury,
but the reduction might prove costly
economy, indeed, should the Venezuelan
issue again become acute. II our as
sertion of the Monroe doctrine is mere
buncombe and harmless Jingoism, this re-
trenchment policy Of the Senate is all
very well. But. If we are serious in re-
gard TO that doctrine, We could not do
wiser thing than put ourselves in posi-
ton TO maintain 1t. The stronger the
evidence we give that We mean business
In this matter the less danger there will
be OF an attempt TO infringe the doctrine.

A Possible Clue.

Two young men suppVstu 10 DC tue
persons who stole two bicycles from
the bowling Alley ofSroat and Wilson
last week, were seen in Corvallis last
Thursday. One Of the fellows offered
a good looking wheel for sale at the
very low price OF so. The suspicious
of the Corvallisites were aroused but
il seems the men were allowed to
leave town unmolested. The police
have been laboring at disadvantage,
not knowing the number of the wheels
but now since that has been ascer-
tanned it is thought the thieves will
soon find themselves in the clutches
of the law. Had the officials known
the number of the wheels last Thurs
day, the men would no doubt have
been captured before leaving the city
since the Corvallis chief of police has
been in communication with Chief
Dilley since the day before mentioned
