The Metric System

The Norfolk Landmark in dis
cussing the adoption of the metric
system by the United ,tates,
says:
Professor w. lie COnte Stevens
comes forward with suggestion
that is really worth considering.
Keep the familiar terms, he says,
but alter their significance so as t.
make them agree with the signif-
canoe Of the metric terms; and
then it will be a matter of the ut
most ease for the people Of one
country to understand the weights
and measures of another. There
will be no necessity for figuring.
All that will be required will be
few simple substitutes I'm word
ing. Here is Prof. Stevens pro-
position which, of course, will en-
counter criticism in some quarters,
as everything must:
"Let the yard be made equal to
the metre; let the foot be made the
fourth instead Of the third part of
4 yard. and let it have ten instead
Of twelve inches; let the pound be
made equal to half Il kilogram; let
he ton be 1000 Kilograms; let the
pint, gallon, peck and bushel be
iefined in terms of the quart"
Though that scheme is not
absolutely perfect, it apr ears to us
o be the most practical device
hat has yet been offered for
larmonizing the worlds weights {
nd measures. If Englishmen Z
nd Americans can keep the old
words while adopting the new
ystem. the chief obstacle will
ave been removed. \

WHEAT CROP SHORT

No extraordinary wheat crop is
expected this year. The first Gov
eminent report, upon which the
total crop could be based, has been
made, and according to j. C..
Brown, statistician of the New
York Produce Exchange, the total
wheat harvest this year should be
657 ,021, 900 bushels. The govern
ment's report was based upon the
condition of the grain and the
acreage in June.
In 1903 on the similar date the
forecast indicated yield Of 1892
900, 900 bushels, but the final har-
vest was oaly 637, S2l, 1886 bushels.
The comparatively poor showing
that is made by the wheat crop at
present is due to the handicap
which winter wheat received on
account of the intense cold last
winter. This loss cannot be made
up TO any extent, as harvesting of
winter wheat has already begun.
Benefit to the crop must come
from improvement in spring heat,
which is now doing well.

June 20-Recently it has been our
privilege to visit several sect ions OF
Rockbridge, and In our journey down
the valley Of Hays Creek we game
to the concl4 sion that this sectian is
the garden spot ofthe county. Wheat,
oats, grass and fine cattle greet the eye
on every hand In luxurious abundance,
At Oak Hill school house, a oommo-
dious chapel 80 by SO feet, is being cree.
ted, laid off in private departments
for Sunday school work. The whole
can be thrown into one auditorium,
which is very convenient.
Hard by Is the cemetery embracing
its two lone occupants. the unfortu-
nate victims of the recent Browns
burg tragedy. the pioneers who have
taken their PLACES side by side in the
new metropolis.
On every hand we find the most
generous hospitality. Certainly no
people can excel in kindness of heart
the good people of old Rockbridge.

Tie Chances Seem Favorable for
Democratic Success

The Chances Seem Favorable for
Democratic Success
The Richmond News-Leader
publishes in Mondays issue ex-
pressions of opinion from several
professional and business men on
the political outlook, and COM
ments as follows on the same:
Renewed mention of the name
of Grover Cleveland in connection
with the Democratic presidential
nomination is the subject of COM
ment among the politicians.
Sentiment seems evenly divided
here on the subject, but only a
few people have considered the
matter well enough to talk for
publication. Some of the more
prominent of the business and
professional men, hOwever-men
who have always been admirers of
the distinguished New Yorker
are not at all backward in espous-
ing his cause.
my judgment is that Grover
Cleveland is the man to beat
Roosevelt" said Colonel Charles
Il. O'Ferrall. cleveland is the
one man whom the Republicans
fear more than any other"
Henry A. Atkinson, an old-time
politician and lawyer, is an
admirer of the Usage of Prince
TOM He said: "Cieyeland is the
biggest man in the party and the
man who stands the best show OF
being elected. Cleveland will
carry the solid South, as any Dem
ocrat can do, but In addition he
will carry New York, New Jersey
Delaware and Connecticut. He
is the man to win. Put me down
for Cleveland"
Judge C. F. Moore, of New
York, a former resident of Lex
ington, and a lawyer of eonsidera-
BILE reputation in the city of New
York, said: "The people of my
city do not take kindly tc Cleve-
land. All the Democrats there are
for Parker. | mean what l say; |
all of them are for Parker. At
this time Tammany is at least
line-tenths for Parker. l am
rammany man, and l think |
know what ! am talking about"
Other gentlemen were seen and
.sked to discuss the matter, but
hey declined to do so for publiea-
ion, some of those seen being
or receptive candidates
or Offices to be filled by the people
# Virginia.
II will say this" said a man
Who is well knoan and who is a
'ower in State politics, u think
t would he as unwise to nominate
cleveland as it would be to nomi-
ate Bryan.
AS rule the p ,ople of Virgin ,
, are for whoever the convention
ill nominate. If the convention (
hould nominate any man who is ,
xtreme, it is likely that the vote |

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION

The National Republican Con
vention assembled in Chicago
yesterday for the purpose of nomi-
mating candidates for the Presi-
dency and Vice-Presidency. The
convention will simply declare
what has been decided on already,
the naming of President Roosevelt
to succeed himself. The man for
second place has given considera-
BILE trouble, but it is thought Mr..
Fairbanks of Indiana, will be the
man. Mr.. Cortelyou will be the
chairman of the National Com
mittee, who will have charge of
the approaching campaign.
Thus it will be seen that the
program prepared by President
Roosevelt will be carried out to the
letter, Notwithstanding the fact
that not all is harmony among the
leaders. They will simply yield
their wills to the influence of
strenuous President.
The keynote to the campaign of
1904 was sounded by Hon. Elihu
Root, in his speech as temporary
chairman. His address was re-
view of the accomplishments of
the present administration and a
defence of Republican policies in
general. His sentiments were
heartily applauded.
