Jefferson Davis, Memory.

The Virginia Legislature has passed a
joint resolution providing for the proper
observance each year OF an anniversary.
Of Jefferson Davis birth 1t is note
worthy that this action has been taken
by the sons OF Confederate Veterans
at the request of the daughters of the
Confederate Veterans. few of whom are
old enough to remember the civil war.
Nothing oculd more clearly demonstrate
the fact that the South of to-day
though heartily loyal to the Union, is
also heartily loyal to the leaders of the
lost cause, feeling that there is nothing
to be ashamed of. nothing to apologize
for, and that the unsuccessful of the
two warning elements of the sixties, con-
tending for principle which it believed
in and died for. is worthy of all honor.
This point of view at last begins to
be understood at the North, exciting no
longer suspicion or irritation. There
was q time when such an act would
have raised tempest from Maine to
California, and the alarmist would have
endeavored, with considerable success, to
persuade the people that the Confederacy
was again in the saddle; but now the
incident will pass with little comment
further than that intended to intimate
that the right of the men of the South
to honor the fathers who proved their sin
cerity by dying for their convictions
should be respected by a brave ana tree
people.-Aacon Telegraph.
The times. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1890-1903, 1900-03-01

The following telegram from New York
was printed in the morning papers yes
terday:
Government bonds continued very
strong on to-day's market, the notable
advance being in the tours of 1925, which
are not convertible under the refunding
clause OF the finance bill. The bid
quotation for these bonds advanced IL
points to-day, following q similar rise
of l1-2 points yesterday. Other classes
of government bonds gained Ia point
each.
National banks in all sections of the
country are sending to bond dealers IN
this city to procure United States ), i
and 5 per cent. bonds. convertible under
the terms of the pending currency bill
into the per cent. issue. which will be
available to secure circulation. New
York banks vii! also take out additional
notes, increasing materially their circu-
lation Of S17.571 800 reported on Saturday
last. The feeling was genera! to-day
that the refunding section OF the bill
will put in circulation a very large ad-
dition to the amount of national bank
notes now outstanding. which might have
an important bearing upon the money
market conditions at this center.
1t may be that the new law will result
in expanding the currency, but we call
attention to the fact that as soon as the
committee of conference agreed upon
the measure, as soon as it became GER
tain that the finance bill would pass.
United States bonds began to jump IN
price. Therein is the fatal effect in the
present currency law and the new cur
ever be that United States bonds will
be active and high when national banks
go on the market and purchase them,
and they will be low when the national
banks have more OF such bonds than
they need and offer them for sale. And
SO it will come to pass that when the
country needs more currency, these
bonds. which afford the basis of currency,
will be high And when the demand
for them is past, the price will drop.
1t is plain TO see that this operates
against the national banks and tends
to prevent them from issuing their notes.
The banks must pay premium Tor the
bonds when they purchase them. but
whenever the banks sell out these bonds it
must DE at a sacrifice. This loss must
| of course be deducted from the profit
on notes which the banks issue. and 1t
may be SO great as to prevent the banks
from issuing notes to any great extent.
We are quite willing to see the ex-
| pertinent made, but we feel sure that
| there can be no successful system OF
| elastic currency until there shall be alb
solutely free banking in every State in
| the Union.

4 LITTLE SHOP TALK.

In referring 20 the fact that newspa-=
ners are sometimes imposed Upon by
smart Alecks, who send in false ac-
counts of marriages. the Petersburg In
,aex-Appeal says that the Richmond pa
pers IRE more responsible than others
for this sort of thing, adding that in the
good old days when marriages were
treated almost exclusively as advertising
matter and were sources of revenue to
the paper these smpositions could not
) have happened 1.-The manager of TIE
Richmond Times st goes on. thinks
that marriages and deaths are more im-
nortant as news than as sources OF reRe-
nue., though why they should not be made
4 both is not quite clear TO u.s.
The Times thinks that every man who
n.arries a good woman should DO AIM
/. self the honor, and the woman who has
taken his name tho Justice. to make his
own Official announcement OF the union
through the advertising columns Of the
paper. but that a newspaper in . city

THE RIGHT TO VOTE.

The Clinch Valley News reproduces an
article from The Times on the suffrage
question with the comment that it has
the true ring. adding that IN its opinion
"a large majority of the thinking people
of the State will endorse the sentiments
expressed in Tho Times article" That
5 is gratifying. We believe that the peo-
ple of Virginia are in favor of a quail
fled suffrage, but we believe that they
are also in favor of dealing fairly with
the black man, giving him the right to
vote whenever ne shall show that he is
competent TO vote and that heis honest
Nv interested in good government

to an account OF the wedding in the
news columns Of the paper is not in. ac-
cordance with our idea Of conducting q
newspaper.
we think, also, that every family In
which a death occurs should print q
formal death notice in the advertising
columns OF The Times. But because snch
an advertisement does not appear mani
testify The Times cannot neglect to re-
port in its news columns the death Of a
well-known citizen, together with such
a sketch of his life as the occasion de-
mands. The Times is a newspaper, and
the mana ging editor of The Times en-
deavoTs TO cover the news of the cay
completely Nor do we know of any
class OF news that is more interesting to
a large class of readers than marriages
and deaths Should we fail to cover that
class of news in Richmond and through
out the State of Virginia, The Iamcs
would be robbed of what we regard. and
what most of our. readers regard, as one
of its most attractive features.
But while the 1ndeX-Appeal and the
Times are not agreed on this particular
phase of The question, we are entirely
agreed with our contemporary that some
thing ought to be done to prevent news
papers from being imposed upon by silly
chaps who think il funny to send in
fake report of a wedding, or, indeed.
fake report of any character In the
hurry of general newspaper work It is
often impossible for the managing editor
to investigate every report that he re-
ceiyes, and the Richmond papers have
time and again been imposed upon in
this way There is a law in New York
to cover an such cases. and there ought
TO be q similar law in Virginia.

CURRENT TOPICS.

We find the following bit Of news in the
Atlanta Constitution:
while in Columbus Mr.. Bryan went
through the Eagle and PheniN mills He
was taken through by Mr. z. N. Glenn
ence, the genial secretary and treasurer
of the mills. Mr.. Bryan afterwards re-
marked that he learned more in his trip
through these mills than he had ever
learned in any similar period of time
about any kind of manufacturing"
Mr.. Bryan said in 1896 that times were
hard and that they would be harder sun
If the gold standard should be continued,
but he did not seem TO have thought OF
this when he was going through the mills
of the South and seeing the great prosper
ity which that section Of the country is
now enjoying under the gold standard.
Mr. Bryan may have learned a great deal
IN his tour through the cotton mills, but
he has not yet learned that the only
thing which this country now needs is a
fixed standard of value and freedom from
financial agitation.
In speaking the other day about life in
surance we said that, thanks to medical
science. the span of human life was be-
ing prolonged as the world grows older
A writer in the Forum has an interesting
article on the subject, from which We
take the following extract:
There is one characteristic, however,
which distinguishes the nineteenth CEN
tury from al! previous centuries-a char
acterastic which has become too common
to attract the attention it deserves, al
though it really measures all the rest:
this is longevity. During the past one
hundred years the length OF life of the
average man in the United States and in
the more civilized parts of Europe has
increased from little over thirty to
about forty years. a multitude of causes,
mostly physical have contributed TO this
result. Foremost among these should be
placed "a whatever may be included un-
der the general term sanitation: CD inn
proved methods in medicine, and co the
more regular habits of living, which are
the direct outcome of industrial life on a
large scale. These are some Of the evil
dent means by which life has been length
ened Inventions. which have made pro-
duction cheap and the transportation Of
all products both cheap and easy, have
had an influence too great to be computed.
And no doubt much has been due to a
general Improvement in methods of gov
eminent. although in the main there has
been much less progress In practical gov
eminent than is commonly supposed. No
Great railroad company ar banking house
or manufacturing corporat ton could pros
