quotation from an address of DR.. G. STAN
ley Hall, is spreading Throughout the coun-
try: There are now thirteen state institu-
Ions devoted to the study of childhood. Be-
tween three and four score city clubs and
organizations of teachers and workers have
been organized, which, wholly or in part,
devote attention to child study. There are
about a dozen chairs in normal schools and
colleges devoted mainly to child study. AL
most all the philosophical departments of
educational Institutions devote time to this
subject. There are several child study jour-
nails in this country, and from one to three
in each of theleading countries in Europe.
one each in India and japan, and some in

TIE NOVEMBER PROSPECT.

The Springfield (Mass) Republican, in
an article on "The Political Prospects in
November" calls attention to the fact
that Chairman Babcock. Of the Republi-
can Congressional Committee, is alarmed.
and evidently thinks he may well be.
THE present Republican majority in
the House is" says the Republican,
"only about fifty and there are scores
Of Republican members whose pluralties
at the last election We're less than 1 900.
Many Of them, moreover come from dis
tricts in eastern cities, which normally
are Democratic, but which in 1896 were
carried by the Republicans in the lurch
for Sound money OF these there are
quite a number which are already con-
sidered hopeless for the Republican can
dldates. In New York and Pennsyl-
vania the local conditions are very adj
verse to Republican success, AMI even in
Massachusetts it is expected that the
Democracy will gain at least one dis
trict. In Ohio" adds the Republican,
there is bad blood between the factions
and in Illinois the Republican family is
not exactly a happy one"
II the Democrats fail to take advantage
OF these conditions and of the issues the
Republicans have raised for them, they
will have thrown away a great oppor-
tunity. The November prospect is
bright and Frightening for the Demo-
Gratis, if they would but realize it.
Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1898-09-02

In a recent Issue we discussed scheme
suggested by Mr.. Horace Dumars. which
has for its object a more convenient
method Of making. postage stamp remit
| tanccs, and which aims to do away with
many OF the troubles incident to the
! present system. That there is need for
some Improvement along this line We do
not doubt, and we repeat that the Of
flcials Of the Post-Ofiae Department
might well give the matter their con-
| sidoIation.
1t appears, however, from the July No.
OF "Thc Virginia Philatelist," that the
remedy suggested by Mr.. Dumars is not
original with him, and that Mr.. John
Paalzow has also been investigating the
subject. In the periodical above alluded
20 the latter discusses the question at
length, and like Mr. Dumars, advocates
the adoption of postal money-order cards,
on which the stamps may be pasted.
Mr.. Paalzow states that during and i'm
medlately after the war the need for
these cards was not so great, as We then
had in this country fractional paper cur
rency OF different denominations. such
as 80 cents, % cents, Is cents. and 10 cents,
and in the earlier years s. and Scent
notes, which latter, however. soon gave
way 10 coin. In those times there was
no need for postage-stamp remittances
as the money enclosed in envelopes could
pass safely through the mails But with
the recall OF this small paper currency,
the demand for something TO fulfil its
functions straightway followed. and as
a medium for the transmission OF frac-
tional parts Of a dollar, postal notes were
issued at many Offices. These notes.
which. by the way, appear to have been
Just what we now need, were soon re-
called. And as a consequence, nowadays
our country cousins" when they send
to us for garden seed or a yard Of rib
bon, invariably remit in postage stamps,
which nearly always become stuck to-
gether, and cause us no little trouble.
We have already explained the remedy
proposed. but we will again sketch its
operations. IL a farmer. for instance,
wishes TO send 80 cents to a firm here, he
would, according TO the proposed system,
purchase a card from his local post office |
at a cost Of 2 cents, place upon this 50 |
cents worth of stamps, FIJI out, and direct |
II, write his order on the back, and the |
as far as he was concerned, |
would be over. His postmaster would |
cancel the stamps, and then the Rich |
mond postmaster, upon presentation and |
Of the card would pay the adj
1ressee the money represented by the
stamps and turn in the card as a voucher.

THE SURPLUS.

Under the caption "a Troublesome Urea.
sury Surplus once More" a New York
contemporary states that, although fifty
millions of dollars remain TO be paid into
the Treasury on account Of the new
| bonds, the cash balance is now
about $500 100000 An expert estimate.
adds our contemporary, makes the di-
rect and indirect cost of the war for the
| current fiscal year about $3.50, 600 so
that ii will be nearly met by the proceeds
Of the bonds alone, leaving the greater
portion of the receipts from war taxes to
swell the surplus.
These war taxes will not be reduced
for many years if the Republican party
is allowed TO remain in power. Indeed,
should the Republican programme as now
developing. be carried out, the continu-
ance Of the war taxes would be a neces-
sity for years to come. This is entirely
apart from the fact that it is the policy
of that party TO spend under any circum-
stances. everything in hand and in sight.
The practice of the party has been to dig
snk-holes for the surplus when it could
not find them already dug.
All this considered. the above statement
OF our New York contemporary furnishes
one Of the strongest of arguments why
the Democrats should make supreme
effort to get control of the next House
Of Representatives. In Democratic su-
premacy lies the only hope OF checking
reckless extravaganza and lifting from
the people the burden of the war taxes.

NEWPORT NEWS Is HAPPY.
Probability That She VIII Get Con-
tract for Three BattIeships.


NEWPORT NEWS, VA, September l.
(Special)-All Newport News is happy
over the result Of the bidding for battle
ships in Washington to-day. Everybody
believes, from the nature Of the bids
that contracts for at least two and DOS
sibly all three of the ships will come to
this city. The Newport News bid on the
B-knot battleships. which is the type
most desired by naval officers, is remark
able, I'm that this ship-yard agreed
TO give the government three ships with
that speed and a displacement of 1850
tons for 200 less than Cramps bids
on an lS-knot ship OF only l2,l5O tons dis
placement In every class Newport News
submitted the lowest bid and when It is
considered that the Union Iron-Works
is allowed 10 per cent. extra for trans
portation of material, it seems reasonable
that the Virginia ship-yard should be
awarded all three Of the battleshps
IRON WORKERS STRIKE.
The sheetiron- workers at the ship-yard
went on a strike this morning and re-
fused TO work until their wages are in
creased from S22j to $3.50 The men
claim that at Cramps $3.50 day and at
the Norfolk navy-yard $500 is paid for a
days work of eight hours. There are
seventy men on strike and only two at
work. These sheeriron-wOrkers were en-
ployed on the battleships, and this strike
is likely to cause some delay in the con-
struction of the big fighters unless a
speedy agreement is reached
il is learned from a trustworthy source
that a new EGGPLANT, independent Of the
project mentioned yesterday, will be
started here in the next few weeks and
be completed and ready for operation by
January LIST. The ground has been pur-
chased and the machinery ordered. The
promoters are keeping their names from
the public until their enterprise assumes
