r,,p IEoAI,IzED PRIMARY.

Tomorrow the Democratic primary
election will be held here for the nomina-
ton OF members OF the City Councii ana
other officers of our city government IL
will be conducted under the act OF AS
sembly legalizing our primaries anu
providing for the punishment OF persons
who commit frauds agains, the ballot
We, however, do not expect that the ia"
will have to be invoked to punish any
one. inasmuch az the contest mas peeh
carried on for the most part In goou
temper, and the officers of election are
men acceptable o the general public.
1t is true that a most determined anu
malignant disposition has been shown IN
some quarters to misrepresent the mo-
tives of the members OF the Demo
cratic League for Good Government OUT
we trust that these mischievous EFFORTS
have deceived few people. SO far from
causing split in our party here we De-
lleve that the League has saved US from
a split. After the disclosures made as 10
the rottenness at the gas-works, there was
a disposition shown TO organize 'citi-
zens 4" party here TO put an independeht
ticket in the field Doubtless such
ticket would have been put out had not
a number of patriotic and influential
Democrats come forward and determined
that the fight should be made In the
party. Then the Democratic League Tor
Good Government was formed. how
conservatively II has conducted us
canvass is within the knowledge OF all
There has been no vilihcation of persons
on their part, and their sole purpose has
been TO encourage the candidacy OF men
who would try to make the city live
within its income.
The beneficial effect of the Leagues
organization has been evidenced in the
action of the City Council in reducing
its annual budget. For many years our
city expenses have largely exceeded our
income, but 1t was not until the League
was organized that the subject OF re-
trenchment was seriously acted upon by
the City Council. If this was a mere
coincidence with the organization OF the
League, let Heaven be praised for the
coincidence.
The Democratic League has acted
strictly in accord with Democratic teach
ing in making this contest within our
party, and IL is TO be commended for
that as well as for killing out all
prospects OF an independent ticket. The
prudence and conservatism that the
League has displayed should commend
1t to the approval OF the party, and we
trust that to-morrow's election will show
that many, If not all, OF the councilmen
whom 1t has endorsed, have been con-
hrmed by the popular vote and have be-
come the nominees OF the Democratic
party of Richmond.

A COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.

AS we stated yesterday, call has been
issued for a national commercial conven-
ton. TO be held at Detroit, beginning on
Tuesday. June %, and continuing from
day to day until the business brought be-
fore 1t shall have been completed. The
plans adopted by this conference or con-
vention will be put into proper shape and
committees appointed TO present them to
the two great political national conven-
lions to be held In June and July. respec-
lively. and urge their embodiment in their
respective platforms. There may be some
thing in this convention-scheme. The
subjects to be discussed, as outlined in
the call, are many. We quote some OF
them:
IL. The discussion Of ways and means
for taking the tariff question out OF parti-
san politics and making II business
question. instead OF political football
80. The advisability OF recommending to
Congress the creation of a department OF
commerce. manufactures, and labor, and
OF making the chief Of such department
member of the Presidents Cabinet.
"l. The advisability of forming per-
manent organization for the purpose or
holding annual conventions for the con-
sideration OF national questions and OF
recommending to Congress each year sech
changes In our laws or i'm their admins
tration as may be deemed for the best in
terest OF our country"
1.-THE convention will be non-politcal
and non-sectional. and all questions must
be discussed from a purely commercial
standpoint.
THE Invitation IS without limit as ia
the number Of attendants. and is cordial
ly extended not only to accredited dele
gates from organizations, either CONNER
cial. manufacturing, labor, or agricuitu-
raj. but to every citizen who may be in
terested in the questions to be discussed.
and who believes that more can be ac-
complished by the united effort OF all the
different interests involved than by each
acting independently of the other, to meet
with U.S."
The Journal OF Commerce gives long
list OF tho members of the convention
committee. Such a conference or conven-
ton can do no harm. and may do "a great
deal Of good"

TILE rwo-rHlRps RULE.

Retwecn now and the meeting OF the
Democratic National Convention there
will be so much discussion of the Two
thirds rule. that IL may possibly be de-
c,ded before the convention meets whether
that rule is TO be enforced IN
the convention or not. AS each house
OF every State Legislature and each house
of Congress has control over the cleo
tons, qualifications. and returns OF It's
own members, so ench national conven-
ton has control over the elections, quail
fications. and returns OF its own mem
beers. We mean to say that as TO power
and precedent there can be no question
raised in the Chicago convention. III
that body decides TO dispense with the
two-thirds rule, which has obtained In
all Democratic National conventions Tor
the last forty or nifty years, it can do
80. Nobody can question it's right or
its power to do so. The old Wing party
i'm its national conventions never resorted
20 the two-thirds rule. The Republican
party I'm its national conventions has
never resorted TO that rule. There is
nothing In the nature OF things when
makes 1t obligatory upon Democratic
national conventions TO adopt and en-
force a two-thlrds rule. IT was first re-
sorted 10 because IT clothed the slave
States with powsr to protect themselves
from the enemies Of slavery, the slave
States casting more than one third Oh
the votes in Democratic National conVeh-
tons. The New York Tribune says mat
this old two-thirds rule was contrlVed
many years ago in order TO give southern
Democrats an absolute veto on all the
wishes Of their party at the North but
has come TO be the one thing that plaques
them In their proposed alliance with pro-
silver Democrats Of the West.
OF course that rule operated TO protect
the South, or. as to that matter the
North. from what either section might
consider Injurious action; but its object
was, as we have said, the protection Oh
the slave States and Of slavery.
We repeat that there is likely to be so
much discussion of the two-thirdS rule
that when the Democratic National Con-
vention shall meet, the question OF It's
adoption or rejection will already, 1t Is
possible, have been decided Then the
question OF boiling the nominee. or the
platform. or both. will come up In the
convention itself. and there will be such
displays OF eloquence as have not been
heard in a Democratic National Con-
vention for many years. 1t is possible
that a second William L. Yancey will
arise to be "the shepherd Of his people. ,"
He was the greatest orator his country
has produced.

GRANT AND LONGSTREET.

We do not know that southern soldiers
are willing to adopt the language in
which Longstreet eulogized General
Grant at Boston; but, certainly. Grant
had a great hold upon the affections OF
our people. We all criticised Grant for
that drastic war measure of his, by
which he discontinued the exchange OF
prisoners but he certainly behaved very
handsomely to Lee and Lees troops at
Appomattox. And when he became Presi-
dent ne was kind In giving places 10
ex-Confederates. Longstreet himself
profited by Grants friendship in that
way.
Grant offered TO make General Pickett
a United States marshal for one OF the
Virginia districts but Pickett declined
the office. telling Grant that, as popular
as Grant was with the people, he Grano
could not afford TO make such an APP
pointment. This was as much to say
that Pickett could not change his affilia-
tons. and that for him not to do so would
be to injure Grant in the view OF the
northern public.
PRESIDENT DAVIS sDpht WHY hiAiGAJf
deed, of General Grant In a letter pub
lished about the time of Grants death.
Indeed, Grant stands far higher in the
estimation OF southern veterans than any
other general Of the war on the northern
side.
We Virginians have never forgotten
that IL was President Grant who gave us
the opportunity 20 vote upon the Under
wood Constitution In way that enabled
us to expunge the DISTINGUISHING clause
of that nefarious instrument. Yet we
may be permitted to doubt If II would
not have been better for Grants reputa-
ton If ne had never accepted the presiden-
tial office. The Washington politicians were
too much for him." Public life in the
national capital never reached lower
ebb than during Grants presidency.
Scandal after scandal dimmed his adj
ministratlon. Though not personally
mixed up in them. they would have ut
terly discredited and disgraced his adj
ministration had he not enjoyed most
phenomenal popularity; popularity that
was proof against every mistake that he
made, except that Of seeking third term
In the presidency.
General Grant lies buried on the banks
Of the Hudson, just on the upper edge
of New York city. over him has been
erected the most costly and beautiful
tomb in this country; one of the finest in
the world, indeed. This tomb will be
dedicated next spring, and though no
southern veteran can take part In the
parade (under the Grand Army OF the
Republic rulings as to "the Confederate
gray" etc), the 'old rebels" will not
omit in some suitable way to show their
respect for the memory Of General Grant.

POSTAL REFORM.

When the time comes for Congress to
talk about adiourning. the reformers Of
the Postal Department are always ready
to submit their schemes to that body
and they lose no opportunity TO make
II appear that the Postal Service would
be greatly benefited by the adoption Of
those so-called reforms. 1t Is necessary
to be informed in the premises. or the
new schemes viii be whistled down the
wind.
The House Committee on Post-Ofiices
and Post Roads has reported to the House
Of Representatives, with a very warm
recommendation that 1t be passed, bill
TO authorize company 10 supply postal
cards and envelopes provided with cou-
pons instead of stamps, and addressed
TO the purchaser, who Is to send them
out TO his customers. and which are to
be invalid II the address is changed. The
coupons are TO be taken up by the post
masters and redeemed by the company

cations that are returned TO it,
The Post-Ofiice Committee believes that
this new law would lead to a much great
er use Of mails. at large
profit to the government. There
are a number OF postal reforms
which we would rather see tried, just
now. though IL Is urged in favor Of this
one that only 10 per cent. OF the postal
cards and stamped envelopes which are
sent out In solicitation OF orders come
back TO the firms that send them out.
and that much larger percentage OF
these said postal-cards and stamped en-
veiopes would be returned II the new
system were put into operation. We are
willing 70 test this proposed change in
the postal laws. or any other change
which promises 10 improve the Postal
Department.

HE is 100 YEARS OLD.
He Lived 80 Years In siberia, Too

The st. Petersburg Gazette says Russia
has the oldest man on earth. Its Mos
cow correspondent tells OF him thus:
There appeared this week in the office
of the police surgeon an aged man, VINO
wished to have his injured hand band
aged. The surgeon bound up the wound
and then began talking with the patient.
He learned, eventually, rom documentary
evidence, that the man was born In 1891,
during the reign of the Empress Eliza
beth, and, therefore, Is lS9 years old. The
old man, whose name is Kusmin, said he
was a native Of Moscow. and from
his 10Th TO his seth year had
been coachman. In his Seth
year, however. he had upset his matter,
count. and the counts brother.
had hurt both seriously, and had been
sent 10 Siberia, where he had lived until
1893. In that year he decided to return
home. and he arrived In Moscow in 1874
He at once started for Kieff On pilgrim
age. from which he had just come back.
He was much grieyed TO find that all the
friends of his youth were dead.
"Kusmin's eyesight is undimmed, his
hearing Is good. and he is a splendid walk

his 13ith year he had never tasted whis-
key. but now he allows himself an occa-
