oTEY ON THE UNIT RULE.

Congressman Otey, Of Virginia. the
hcad OF the sliyerites In his State. says
that. Of course. his political information
concerning Virginia comes from those
who agree with him on the silver ques-
ton: but that 1t Is reliable: and, from ".
he is confident that the free-silver men
will have the majority in the Democratic
convention OF Virginia. and will adopt
the unlt-rule, so that the delegation 10
Chicago will be a solid silver one.-Wash-
ington Letter in the Alexandra Gazette.
We very much doubt II Senator Daniel
will concur with Mr.. Otey as TO the
adoption OF the unit-rule by our State
Democratic Convention.
The convention would better adhere TO
the usayes OF the party in this State, ana
leave the unit-rule alone. We sound
money men," "silverites." and "goldites"
are getting along together very nicely
In Virginia, and II would be the height
OF foil, for any member Of the Stanton
convention TO introduce there PROPOSE
ton which would be sure to give rise 10
acrimonious debate. and which would be
equally sure to do the party In this state
a great deal Of harm
At best. the work that the State Demo-
cratic Convention will have to do In order
70 attain success will require great tact
and conservatism on the part OF our lead
ers, and that end will not be promoted
by Mr.. Otey's suggestion that the ola
rule be abandoned and the unit-rule
aaonted in its stead. The Virginia Demo-
cratic method is to let the delegates
from each congressional district choose
two delegates TO the National Democratic
Convention, and the State convention IT.
self choose four from the State at large
and this plan has tided US over many
difficulties. and may save us at Staunton

RHODE ISLAND on SILVER.

II the reader Will carefully study the
wording and meaning Of the following
resolutions. adopted by the Republican
State Convention of Rhode Island On
Friday last. he will understand how that
State looks at the silver question, and
will be able to forecast what will prob
ably be done on the same question by
the National Republican Convention. We
quote:
"Resolved, That the Republicans Of
Rhode Island are inhexioly opposed to
the free and unlimited coinage OF silver
and they believe the continued agitation
Of what is called the silver question
TO be unpatriotic, and destructive OF all
the interests of industry and commerce.
'sThe existing gold standard is the
measure of value adopted by the nations
with whom the United States have the
most important commercial relations. and
the very suggestion OF a departure from
II inficts injury TO the credit Of nation
whose honor should never be questioned,
at home or abroad.
ITO those who toll for their daily
bread, a currency redeemable in and OF
equal value with gold is essential While
the capitalist may protect himself against
the fluctuations. even OF silver, the Ia
borer and the artisan. the salaried OFF,
cial and the widow, are powerless 10
guard against the changing values Of a
currency which a great and benefcent
government should make absolutely Sc
cure and unchanging in its purchasing
power"
These resolutions speak for themselves,
and we will not comment upon them
They show that we have never misunder-
stood nor misrepresented the position Of
Rhode Island.

Colonel John A. Cockerih, VINO o'eu
night before last very suddenly in caro-
was a great journalist. He had held nign
positions in Cincinnati. st. Louis. Bait
more, and New York. In st. Louis ne
killed Colonel slayback In self-defence-
In New York he became the editor OF the
Morning Advertiser. and was at another
time the managing editor OF the New
York Herald. For some years. In addi-
ton to other work, ne wrote Sunday
letter for the Dispatch. When the war
between China and japan broke out the
New York Herald sent him to the seat OF
war as its correspondent. From Japan
the Herald sent him to Egypt to report
the British movement against Dongola-
He made his headquarters at Cairo. and 1t
was there, in his hotel. that he died OF
apopiexy. Colonel Cockerilrs life was fuil
of adventure. beginning at Shiloh. where
he was a drummer-boy in a regiment
which his father commanded. He was an
"all-'round" newspsper-man, OF extraor-
binary capaclty-knew news when he saw
il, and could write strongly and grace
fully, whether filing an editors chair or
serving as a correspondent.

LETTER POSTAGE.

A bill is pending in Congress which pro-
vides for reducing letter postage from
cents TO lin other words, a bill TO allow
men who are able to pay cents to pay only
1 cent. Most of the 2-cent postage is paid
by persons able and willing to pay 1t.
The people who write many letters seldom
complain of the present rates Of postage,
except, of course, those people who use
the Post-Office Department to advertise
the wares they have for sale. On this sub
ject the Lynchburg News says
1.-THE Post-Office Department is not.
and Il has never been, self-sustaining.
The Federal Treasury is not In a Pile
thoric condition. Instead Of a surplus OF
revenue there viii probably be a deficit Of
500. 10000 for the current year. The re-
duction Of postage would certainly have
the effect Of increasing the deficit. There
are other improvements In the Postal
Service which ought TO precede the reduc-
ton of letter postage, such as the increase
OF mail facilities In the rural districts
and the extension Of the free-delivery sys-
TEN. With the increase of population,
the revenues Of the department will in
crease, and after few years II Will be
found practicable to introduce the i'm
provements indicated, and also TO reduce
letter postage without increasing the
burden of the government"

The New York World has undertaken to
ascertain public sentiment with respect
10 a third term for Mr.. Cleveland. To
this end 1t has communicated with ma
tional committeeman and others. and Sc
cured replies. II finds that thirteen States
which will have 2ss delegates. are favor
able TO Cleveland" while five States,
which will have io2 delegates. are ''fiatly
against Cleveland" nineteen States. which
will have 44s delegates. prefer some
other candidate" and twelve States,
which will have 90 delegates. are "for any
free-silver candidate"
Quite generally. il seems 20 be believed
that Cleveland is in the field. Nor do we
see how any other conclusion could be
reached II he were not candidate. who
can doubt that no would have the cour-
age OF his convictions to say so. Indeed.
so long as no administration man comes
out as a candidate. the public will reason
that the administration men are waiting
for Cleveland to speak, and until he
does speak he will be considered a can
dldate. But. II Mr.. Cleveland were out
OF the way. we conclude. from the Worlds
reports, that Whitney would have a
greater following than any other one
man. Morrison OF Stevenson ranks next.
And then there are quite large number
OF people who favor Matthew'S. Campbell.

NOTHING NEW.

The washington Post says that in his
speech of Thursday last in the United
States Senate. Senator Butler favored
the government control OF all
telegraph and telephone service in
the United States. His speech
had one novel argument-that private con-
troll OF these public necessities was In
violation of the letter and the spirit of
the Constitution.
Not novel. by any means. II the Post
will read an article published some time
ago by Mr.. Justice Clark. of North Caro-
lima. 1t viii see that the Judge expressly
declares that this power belongs TO the
Federal Government. Judge Clark's con-
tention was stated in the Dispatch at the
time.

? LURAY. VA, April 1l.-(Special. THE
announcement Of the death few days
ago, in Texas. of Mr.. NJ. +. Wharton, n
brother OF Drs. J. s.. M. B., and II. NJ.
Wharton, was received here with sadness
and regret. although It has been knows
for some time past that he could not
long survive. Like his distinguished
brothers. Mr.. Wharton was possessed Of
varied talents. He was Of a modest and
unassumicg disposition. As young man
he studied law in Luray. and commenced
the practice OF the law here. Afterwards
he removed to Texas, but some years
ago returned to Virginia, resuming after
a time the practice Of his profession with
Major +. J. Armstrong, OF this place.
with whom he formed partnership.
which continued until the summer or
fall of 1891. when failing health compelled
Mr.. Wharton to go back 10 Texas. The
deceased was OF genial. sunny DISPOSE
ton, and was an earnest Christian.
About four years ago he married Miss
Lizzie Baily. OF Natural Bridge, this
State, a sister Of Mr. A. G.. Baily. OF
Luray, who. with one child. survives him.

Mr.. Lincoln thought 1t not beneath his
dignity to hold conference at Old
Point with his "rebellous" insurgents.
why may not Mr.. Cleveland have that
celebrated conference in mind when he
proposes to send commissioners to Cuba
to see with his eyes and hear with his
ears. We have from the first. favored
the recognition Of, Cuban belligerency,
but we have never desired to be I'M
reasonable with our neighbors. Up to
this time the "jingoes" have had 1t all

that everything was all hight. but never
