We take the following suggestive ar
ticle- from the editorial column OF the
charlottesville Progress:
I'VE would advise the people OF Sir-
sinia to be exceedingly careful in weigh
ing the merits of the various schemes for
representation in the Constitutional Con-
vcntion.
1T is very serious matter and iene
which should be scrutinized most closely.
Without going into the merits or benefits
OF any of the plans already proposed, We
would strongly advise against any system
which would admit a considerable float
ing epresentation-in plain words, dtle-
gates 1t large.
Let each county or district send its
own delegates from its own people, and
let the line be exceedingly closely drawn
on the big men, They are doubtless very
worthy gentlemen, and few-a very few
OF them-mislt be present as State repfe-
sentatives, but the rest should De strictly
amenahle 10 the constituents sending
them. The people and their representa-
tives cannot be too closely in touch in
this matter of Convention making.
Every act Of the Legislature arranging
for the Convention. and every act OF the
Convention itself. should be most careful
ly watched and weighed by the people OF
the State.
And, with this hope in view, we trust
that the newspapers of Virginia. and par
hcuiariy the Richmond papers, will give
the fullest accounts possible OF the whole
proceedings. And thus the people at large
can discuss every measure proposed, and
10y encouragement. or warning, as the case.

IF SO, we hope that our esteemed friend
will speak out in meeting. II there are
any schemes on foot in connection
with the Convention We want to know
all about them.
It is understood that it is the deliberate
purpose of the Executive Cimmittee of
the Democratic National Committee, at
it's meeting next month, in Washington,
to take steps to permanently depose Mr.
Bryan from leadership in the party. That
Will do very well for a starter, and then,
after deposins Mr.. Bryan, the committee
should, in atonement for the past as well
as in Precipitation Of the future, proceed
to depose itself, beginning with Mr.. James
* Jones, of Arkansas, and making no
pause until the last one has been disposed
OF down to George Fred Williams, of Mas
sachusetts. Democracy should have
clean deal in this notwithstanding In

1t is an open secret that when the
party workers at the Kansas City Con-
vention found that it was to be Bryan
and free silver again, they took counsel
among themselves and said, go to. We
will not change the organization this year,
but will let Bryan and free silver and
Jones all go down together, and so kill
three birds with one stone"
The United States is rapidly gaining
upon its great rival, the United King
dom, says the Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun. In 1894 the latter
led this country by about $3.50, Ooo coo, and
in 1897 the United States was only $50, Co.,
600 behind
In 1888 the United States took first place,
our exports in that year exceeding those
OF the United Kingdom by nearly $780,
ooO,00O. In 1899 the United Kingdom again
stood at the head OF the list, her exports
exceeding those of the United States by
nearly SO, GOO. In the IL months Of 1900
THE domestic exports of the United States
exceed those of the United Kingdom by
s5,475,G1o, and should this rate of gain be
maintained in December the United States
will, in the year 1900, show a larger ex-
portation of domestic products than any
other nation in the world.
France shows no increase in her ex-
ports of domestic merchandise in the clos
ing quarter OF the century; Germany
shows during the same period an increase
OF about 50 per cent, and the United King
dom shows from 1873 to 1900 an increase
of nearly 80 per cent, while the United
States shows during that time an IN
crease of practically 200 per cent.
The following table, compiled from Off
cial reports, shows the exports OF domes-
tic merchandise from the United States
and the United Kingdom, respectively, IN
each calendar year from 1873 to 1879 and

Ter carriers in the country, with the ex-
ception of about 1000, are included in Its

lngs the principal subjects of discussion
Will relate to possible legislation by Con-
gress affecting letter carriers. Increases of
salaries to uniform rate for carriers of
both the first and second-class is to be
urged. Carriers of postoffces of the first
class now receive $1,000 and of the second
class $3.50 What the men desire Is a uni
form salary of $1,000.
The question of pensions for infirm and
disabled letter carriers, which has been dis
cussed for some years, has resulted in pre-
paration of bill providing for payment of
such pensions by specially appointed Of
ficer of the postoffice department, out of
fund raised by assessing each carrier one
per cent of his salary. The bill provides for
administration of the matter by the depart
ment without any further expense to the
