 the Constitution.
 Washington, Feb. l7.-Todays session of the National American Woman's Sui frage Association was devoted, to a dis- cussion of proposed amendments to the constitution of the organization. One adopted opens membership to "all citl- zens of the United States who subscribe to the constitution and pay not less than S1O annually into the treasury of the As- sociation."
 The number of honorary treasurers was reduced from two to one and the Federal Suffrage Committee was stricken from the list of standing committees.
 The report of the Committee on Res olutions, which was adopted. was pre- sented by Henry f. Blackwell of Mas sachusetts. The resolutions reiterated the American independence of sex: ask ed for equal suffrage for mothers, not only for the sake of the State, but for the home; demanded that marriage should be considered a partnership in which the woman should have a shai c in the guardianship and control of chil- dren; declared that the women of the en- tire Union are as intelligent as are those in the places where suffrage is granted and therefore demand this right for all women; and thanked Congress and Mrs. Roosevelt for courtesies during the con venGion.
 The convention also adopted a resold- ton calling for the indorsement of an international peace congress. general ar bitration treaties between the United States and all nations and declaring foI study of militarism "sinee 1t is a men, ace to the republic" with a view of ob- taining universal peace.

issue at Kansas City. but his last defiance of Southern sentiment on the question, when he demanded the reafIifmation al St. Louis of the Kansas City platform in its entirety, has utterly destroyed hia influence with the party leaders and press.
 His coming to the South cannot pos sibly change the Souths attitude on the subject of silver nor re-establish him the recognized leader of the Southern De- mocracy.
 With Mir. Hearst the case is different. In the South he has succeeded in attach ing to himself the labor elements of the Democratic organizations in the cities and some of the antitrust farmers m the agricultural districts. These men have their representatives in the leader ship of the party. They are not bound to the silver issue. Their radicalism ex- hausts itself against the trusts.
 Democrats of that class think Mir. Hearst supplies all that MT. Bryan once supplied in qualities of leadership and that since he Is not handicapped by the silver fatality he will do very we'll as q candidate for President

CHECKING PAY ROLLS
NEW SYSTEM IN EDUCATIONAL
 DEPARTMENT.
Important Innovation to Safeguard State from Paying Money to Teachers Not Authorized
 to Draw It.

In the State Educational Department a new and important innovation in the supervision of the work of County superintendents has been inaugurated.
 Additional scrutiny Is being given to the pay rolls sent in by the County Superintendents, to ascertain If any part of the public funds is being paid to teachers not authorized to receive it. It was possible under the old system for a county superintendent to continue on the pay roll a teacher whose certificate had expired. The superintendent could continue to pay monthly salaries to teachers who may have failed in their examinations for the renewal of their certificates. A system of checking has been established by which such practice if 1t exists now. is rendered impossible The same system will reveal this practice if it has been practiced.
 Acting under instructions from Gov ernor Jeiks the Educational Department is making a careful check of the pay rolls which have been sent in by the County Superintendents. The checking system is based upon the paragraph in the general educational law which forbids the County Superintendent from paying out money to teachers whose certificates have expired.
 A careful record of the certificates is- sued to all teachers of Alabama Is kept in the Department of Education. This record gives the date of issuance of each certifcate and the date of it's expiration. The check is to ascertain if the superin- tendents have made the certificates of any teachers extend beyond the legal time and in so doing paid the teacher money authorized by law.
 This checking system is correlative to the work of the public examiners. The examiners year ago were instructed to examine the books of the County Super intendents. They have been doing so and reporting in most cases that the Supeeintendents had vouchers for all money paid out. The existence of these vouchers is not, however. prirna facie evidence that the money was legally paid out.
 when the. checking is conN1leted the examiner cah' report to the dovernor if ans sunerIntapdent has been paving out nabney to teachers who have no certi- dcateS.

FIELD DAY FOR BULLS
pRrcrs ADVANCE DESPITE THE
 HA1rMERING.
Close in New Orleans 3l to 52 Points Higher Than That of the Day Before--Another Cam
 paign On.

New Orleans, Feb. ls.--while the open ing in the cotton market was unproms- inr enough for the bulls. 1t proved a field day for them before the closing gong sounded
 Al the opening shorts hammered the market aggressively and iorced prices down. and during the morning each re- action to higher level saw more ham, mering and consequent forcing down of prices. but a mysterious buying power de- veloped and offerings were greedily ab- sorbed. This resulted in 8 closing from 3l to 52 points higher than yesterdays. The session was exciting from the start almost to the finish. The bears growled harder than they have for months and their attack were hercer. It was plainly evident that some outside speculators had been attracted to the short side while there was little or no outside buying. Prominent bulls were heavy buyers at the weak places, but for the greater part of the day they sat idly by and appeared to take but little interest in the proceed ings. Nevertheless the market showed a wonderfully strong undertone and buying orders were plenty. This caused a partly confirmed rumor that the bull clique had come to another understanding and was entering upon another campaign, this
 time with strong outside interests idcnti-
  In spite of the fact that prices are now
 over a cent higher than they were two days ago, there has been but little cover ing by shorts; in fact, the higher levels have been but fresh inducement for | them to sell more energeticalIy. The
 bulls appear delighted with their new
 found local opponents and are, according ] to the consensus of opinion, preparing for ', a battle royal. If they can get this re- | cently-created short interest on the run,
 1t goes without saying that prices will be , quickly forced up to the sixteenth story again.
 The bulls claim that the statistical posi-
 ton of the staple will give them an i'm.
 pregnable position within short timc
 and they also point to the rapidly-grow.
 ing inquiry from spifrners for the actual
 stun as the best basis for a new bull
 campaign. Buying by spinners caused q | more favorable spot market today than
 has been seen for weeks. Sales on the
 spot amounted to 3.90o bales.

 The closing of the market was rathet quiet and bulls showed no disposition to force prices up, so that Liverpool might
 be influenced in the morning. This caus- ed the belief that the prominent bulls do not desire wide advances yet as they have not taken on all the cotton they desire,

In one of candidates for the presidency, Tn one of the Hearst letters, widely circulated here. these terms are used in describing hirns MT Hearst is not a demagogue. he Is not a violent radical he believes that nothing is more conservative than ad- adherence to the fundamental American principles that made this country. through guaranteeing to every citizen Mir. Jefferson's famous pEescript ption--iife, liberty and the pursuit of happiness Hearst Is a loyal Democrat. He has given the party loyal support through both Bryan campaigns, although he ia not an advocate Of free silver. He is noe a factional candidate. His interests are legitimate American progress and pr0s% perity, with good wages for those who work and big rewards for those who have brains and executive ability. He believes that the creation of wealth is not mcrs important than the distribution of wealth to the promotin of porsrerity. For that reason and also because he has sense Of justice, he fights the trusts and all tens dencies to excessive concentration of wealth through criminal monopoly. Mr. Hearst heiieyes that universal prosperity is dependent upon the purchasing power of the masses and upon the protection ck those that are industrious and frugal.
 More than two years ago Mir. Bryan urged in the Commoner and in public adr dresses the organization of Democrakie clubs to propagate the doctrines Of the Kansas City platform Several of the clubs were organized in the South. None is now in existence, they have all been taken into the fold and have dropped th4 Kansas City creed. Several Hearst eluha in the larger Southern cities are prepars ing to 20 to the convention.

From stan Correspondent of The

 Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 1o.-The Radi. cal Democracy is not going to give uE the Solid South without struggle. Toe two Democrats in whom the hopes oi the radicals are centered-William J. Bryan and William R. Hearst-are going to visit the South simultaneously. and all of the Bryan and Hearst organlza- tions are m a state of pleased expect ancy awaiting the event. Mr. Bryan was expected in Florida the last week in January. The death of his sister in Nebraska deferred his visit. He has agreed to be in Alabama this month, and he has accepted invitations to speak in Raleigh, N. C., and in Florida.
 Mir. Hearst will be in little Rock, At lauta and Memphis during the ensuing month and probably at other centers of Southern political activity. From Demo- crats who profess to be familiar with the radical program 1t is learned that a great deal is expected from the visits of Mir. Bryan and MT. Hearst. They are of the opinion that these two leaders will De able to crystalline Southern sentiment against ex-Presldent Cleveland, Chief Judge Parker, Senator German and the conservative element of the South. repfe- sented by such men as Governors Mon tague, AycocK, Hayward.

Not to Travel in Company.


 Mir. Bryan and Mr. Hearst will not travel in company in the South. 1t is even likely that Mir. Bryan will reiterate his declaration that he has no interest in Mir. Hearst's candidacy for President. but it will be impossible for the radical leaders to separate their causes in the eyes of the Southern people.
 Here 1t is commonly understood that the delegates Mir. Bryan may secure in the West will vote and act In the con. vention with the Southern delegates who may favor the nomination of Mir. Hearct. It is accepted as one of the certainties Of the situation that the Bryan and Hearst interests will combine fin the end to thwart the aims of the conservatives, both as to the platform and tine eandi- dates.
 They will visit the South, therefore, according to the best knowledge of tlleir plans, for the purpose of securing South ern delegates. Mir. Hearst has working opportunities in Florida and in certain Congressional districts of Georgia, South Carolina. Alabama, Mississippi, Louis lana and Arkansas, These opportunities might be enhanced by Mir. Bryan's aid in Florida and in Mississippi. but nowhei e else. The best judges of politics through the South say, that Mir. Hearst's only hope to secure help of consequence .n tho convention from the South lies in the complete Association of his campaign from Bryanism, a thing which now ape pears impossible of accomplishment.

 One of the topics discussed was: From where are the printers of the future com ing?"
 Another was: Has the payment of higf wages to stereotypers provoked diseonten in other mechanical departments of news papers2

Hearst stronger Than Pryan.

Previous letters of this correspondence have shown that MT. Hearst Is stronger In the South than Mir. Bryan. There is no active hostility to him, while the ari- tagonism toward Mir. Bryan Is far-feaeh- ing and bitter.
 All the Democratic leaders and news- napers have put themselves on record as against perpetuatlng the foIlies of 1896 and 1900, which Mir. Bryan was reeponsi- ble for. and which he still persists in ad- vocating Many of them have cautioned him to abandon his attitude of dictator ship. To anybody with eyes to see and ears to hear. who puts himself in the range of observation in Southern politics, 1 1t is plain that MT. Bryan is no longer even a negation in the Southern Demoe- racy.
 The influence he possessed in 1900 was slight He might have retained that by
