The significance of the result OF the
Democratic State Conventions thus tar
held seems to indicate that large ma
iority of the delegates to the National
convention will be uninstructed. Those
States which have "favorite sons" are
the oues, principally, pledging their dele
lgations. Up to Saturday. April 20, ten
Estates and one Territory had elected zoo
delegates to the Democratic National
Convention. Three States and one Ter
ritory instructed for Hearst, giving him
'twenty-four delegates. Massachusetts,
with thirty delegates, instructed for
Olney, while New York, with seventy
eight, named Parker as her favorite. Five
States have declined to instruct. The
States which have refused to instruct will
send 1874 delegates to the convention, or
one half of the number thus far elected.
If this policy is carried out the number OF
instructed delegates will be but 266 out OF
nearly 1000 composing the convention.

The United States Senate has adopt,

The United States Senate has adopted
an amendment to the Sundry Civil bill
removing all Limitation as to the amount
of subsidiary silver coinage, but shows its
wonderful desire to provide for additional
coinage by giving no authority for the
purchase of bullion.
The act of 1890 authorized the use OF
bullion purchased for the coinage of stan
dard silver dollars under the Sherman
act for coming fractional silver. Under
that authority the silver bullion so pur-
chased has been reduced to less. than
f., 900, 600, and before July I that re-
mainder will be exhausted. There is a
constantly growing demand for fractional
silver to meet the needs of the country.
In his last annual report the Secretary
of the Treasury explained that when the
silver bullion in the possession of the
Treasury shall have been exhausted no
further coinage of fractional silver can be
made from bullion without legislation.
As the Senate amendment merely removes
the limitation to the amount that may be
outstanding. but makes not provision for
supplying bullion to continue the coin
age, the whole. thing looks like another
Wall Street move to accomplish the re-
tirement of the SIS. oo2, oe9 standard silver
dollars now in the treasury. by recoining
them into fractional currency, instead OF
purchasing silver bullion for that pur-
pose
This is the scheme as embraced in the
bill reported by Congressman Fowler
from the committee of the house. al
though it doesn't show it on its face. The
silver dollar is an unlimited legal tender.
The fractional currency is only limited
legal tender. The purpose of this bill,
therefore, is to retire S57S. 900, 600 of legal
tender money, thereby reducing the vol
ume of standard money in the country.
The financiers are determined to reduce
the volume of standard money to the
smallest possible limit, in order that they
can better control it.

The question of the government OF the
Panama Canal zone has been settled by
the adoption of measure which makes
the President the sole ruler of the new
territory, practically with the power OF
life and death. The measure is an exact
duplicate of the one which provided for
the government of the Louisiana Pur-
chase. and which was passed in 1903 and
was drafted by President Jefferson. The
names and date were changed but that
was all. Its adoption is move on the

them to be forced into the bitches
by heavily loaded wagons or other

WOMEN MAIL CARRIERS.
Many of Them Are Doing Excellent
Work I'm Rural Free Delivery,
Says One Authority.

Within the last few months the
women of the country districts Of
the United States have found q new
occupation in the government service.
Some hundreds of them all over the
country have been appointed rural
letter carriers, and the reports to the
department show that the women
have done wonderfully well in their
new occupation.
Indeed, only few days ago Supt.
Machen, of the free delivery division
Of the post Office department, re-
ceived reports that a number OF his
female rural carriers brayed the Sc
we're billiards in the west, and while
acting as substitutes for the men car
riers made the daily deliveries in the
deep snow and sleet of the blizzard
in a most remarkable and satisfac-
tory manner.
There are at present no less than
81 female rural letter carriers, that
is. 81 women who have stood the civil
service examinations and passed so
well that they excelled the male can
didates and have been appointed reg
ular rural carriers, not substitutes.
Under the rules for the appoint
ment Of rural carriers the regular
carrier after his appointment has the
right TO name substitute, who Is to
do his work when the carrier is sick
or incapacitated for work. Generally
the carrier appoints some member Of
his family, as he has to supply his
horse and wagon Tor the service, and
Of late the carriers have been naming
their wives, sisters or daughters and
sometimes their mothers as their sub
stitutes. The department has found
that these substitutes have performed
good work, ard that their sex has not
interfered with the rural delivery, so
when a woman IS named now as sub
ssitute she Is accepted.
The department officials say that
women make very good rural car
riers, and they do not lose time gos-
siping when delivering the mail, as
one would suppose, and that the in
nate love Of gadding about and Wis
iting their friends TO see what is
going on makes the female like the
work and forget the drudgery and
hardships incident to a daily drive Of
90 or more milesin all sorts Of wealth

FARMvILLE VA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 30, 1904.

A correspondent Of the Popular Sci
ence Monthly, much impressed by the
race suicide" has
the No'eils''' made a tentative
study OF the birth rate In fiction, finding
that in that field, as in the real life or
over civilized communities, the rate is
decreasing. Where families ofrespecta-
Bile size may be found occasionally In
Thackeray or Dickens, they scarcely ex-
ist in Meredith, Hardy and James. "
However. says the New York Times, the
analysis Of a typical novel in each class
Vanity Fair" and "Beauchamp's Ca
reer"-does not seem to US to quite bear
out the correspondents idea OF the
alarming decrease Of the birth rate IN
fiction. while he IS surely mistaken when
be inyades the field Of the poetical drama
in a statistical mood. Macbeth and his
lady, for instance, surely had family
or else Lady Macbeth told a falsehood
in one well-remembered line Of that
tragedy, and one Of Thames exhorta-
tlons to her was in vain. But, ofcourse,
Macbeth's children may have perished
young. as Macduff's did.
