has been rescued by some sealing steamer

This Congress is disposed to favor the
provision for silver financial system for
the Philippines, instead of the extension
over the Pacific OF the American gold sys-
tenn. For some time this matter has been
discussed in the Senate committee on Phil
ippines, and it was left in charge of a sub
committee, of which Sena,or Allison was
chairman. II is understood he is of opin-
ion that IL would be impossible TO estab-
lish a financial system for the Philippines
which would be totally different from the
one now in use and not in sympathy with
the money system of China India and the
countries of the Orient To attempt to ex-
tend our own money system in the Philip
pines would mean the maintenance of
standards different from the nearby coun-
tries with which the islands do their trad
ing. The details of this proposition have
not yet been worked out. That is to say,
there is no estimate of how much silver
currency must be coined for island use,
what the denominations shall be. etc. The
information becomes public before it is
ready, because il was decided to-day to
hurry the Philippine civil bill before the
Senate that the general debate might be-
gin. The Democrats are preparing a long
discussion on this subject

White Primaries.

That the political result OF the
session of the general assembly to
the Democratic party in the State
has been more than disappointing
is manifested by the popular dis
content.
Many measures we're passed that
should not have passed, and many
we're defeated that should have
passed.
1t was a political and not busi-
ness Legislature. and the governor
was more in evidence in putting
through or defeating measures
than any representative or senator.
His will was the supreme law, not
withstsnding the wise constitn-
tional provision making the co-or-
dinate branches of the government
separate and independent of each
other. There is no necessity oi
going into details about the dick
ering and trading by which some
bills we're made laws and others
defeated. The facts are generally
known to the people.
The result is that disruption
of the party is threatened, and m
less wise counsels prevail there i
likely to be an independent Dem
ocratic ticket in the field in 1904
with a respectable white Republi
can party contending for the as
tendency with good show of sue
cess.
! The wise and right thing for tn
State Committee TO do is 10 reco
gnize conditions as they exist
!. ignore the wishes of Office e-holder
and bosses, and order white pri
mary for the nomination OF a
, officers from Governor down. Ur

Dear Sir:

of July 21st., the claim is made
that the Iberia Juniors have not
lost a game of base ball this sea-
son. The correspondent of the
Times Democrat was surely mis-
informed when he made the state
ment as the Iberia Juniors will no
doubt concede that they were de-
feated by the st. Martins Juniors
at st. Martinville on July 18th,
1902, and have since refused tc

The Mothers Of Tomorrow
THE OLD IDEA AND THE NEW.

THE OLD IDEA AMI Iac NEW.
The following from one OF our
exchanges is too good to lose,
though we have forgotten the name
of the exchange: "There has been,
according to history, an idea in
the world that education was in
tended for boys, and boys only;
that woman had no need of any
book knowledge more than to read,
write and figure little; that to
educate a girl was waste of energy,
time and money; and, too, that all
education would not and could not
be of any advantage to the female
sex. Things for girls to know
were how to spin, weave, wash,
sew, cook, and all such drudgery
work as might need to be done in
housekeeping, aud when she ad-
vanced beyond this she was get
ting OH forbidden grounds for a
woman.
"Such was once the prevailing
idea in regard to the education ol
the female sex, and even today
some of our people cling to thai
same nonsensical idea.
"The girls should know how te
do all these things mentioned, anc
more. The old idea of this being
a sufficient knowledge for cir
has been abandoned by our bes
and most broad minded people
They see that to educate the girl
OF our land means more than mer'
coutentment for that sex, but, OF
the contrary, means true happi
ness and prosperity for the rising
generation.
"The girls of today are to b
mothers of tomorrow; and oh! hoV
thankful boy or a girl should b
who has an educated mother. Al
educated mother almost means al
educated son or daughter.
1child who never hears poorly rpo
ken English never speaks suct
1t is the mother who has the eveI
lasting influence over son o
daughter; and for these reasons,
for no other, give us educated VIC
women with an aIl-roun
education, and Christian women.
i $50 give US rightly educate
mothers, and we will have lef
: trouble with the young generation
need fewer lawyers, fewer prison
fewer sheriffs, and have few'
|drunkards. We will have NOR
schools and better ones, moi
churches and better members, be
ter citizens and better happi'
homes. Humanity will then stan
! on a higher and nobler plane ths
ever before"

Fixing the Telephone.

Total deprivity Itself was discoV'
cred long time ago, bnt the total
depravity of inanimate things IS, l
understand, something that has
been thoroughly understood only
since the time when the telephone
came into use.
The telephone has one good
trick that 1t never seems to tire o.
performing and which shows ur
Its total depravity very well:
After you have spent ten mimi
ties or so In finding the number you
want, you take down the dingba1
a attached to the cord, hold 1t to your
ear and wait, anxious all the time
for fear you have forgotten the
number. Presently you hear q
noise like CDR br br br br rupp
Then all Is still again.
After a considerable interval
tn ere comes family to you the
sound of ahuman voice. You Car
finally make out these words
Number, please" !
You have forgotten the number
by this time and must look 1t up II
the book again; when you find II
you announce 1t to the telephone
Then everything Is as still as deatt
until, presently, there comes an
other "br br br BIZ br rup!"
Encouraged by this sign OF lite
you repeat the number. Silence
reigns supreme. You might e:
well have been speaking to pho
tograph of your grandmother, loni
since dead.

Then you yell Hello" until the

that word, and the accent Is all on
the first syllable.
You hang up the ding.bat and
say things that have been pent up
In your bosom until they have Just

they were bad, too.
After awhile you go out and find
another phone and report to the
proper official that your phone Is
out of order.
Twenty. four hours later young
man, bearing a small satchel and
having the general appearance of a
plumber, calls on you. He sets
the satchel on your desk, takes a

commanding the street and all 9TH
er railroad companies to obey the or
ders of the commissioners, without
chasing each other around the SUI
preme court? Doesn't all this rail-
road commission business look like
the silliest tommyrot really?
AS an illustration of the amount
of business that may be transacted
when the spirit moves it may be of
interest to note that in the first half
hour of it's session Friday morning
the Senate disposed of twenty five
bills. Among them was that Civ
ing women the right to vote in city,
town or municipal elections, and the
bill allowing taxpaying women to
vote in all municipal elections.
These were reported adversely and
"ordered to lie. This is a very del
icate and refined way of killing the
bills and disposing of the question.
There is no reason under heaven
why the latter bill should not have
been made law decades ago. 1t is
right, by every rule, plain matter
of honest simple justice. They
