Mail by Phone.

The Postmaster-General, In his annual
report, just made public, urges Congress
to make small appropriation for the
purpose Of enabling him to test the use
Of the telephone In tho rural free delivery
service. lie proposes that special do
livery stamp 10 provided covering tho
cost Of such transmission by telephone,
The placing of such a stamp upon u let
ter would authorize tho postmaster at
the Office of delivery to open 1t and tel
ephone its contents to the person to
whom 1t Is. addressed.
In many cases. the Postmaster-General
Is assured the telephone would save
twenty-four hours time between the
sender and receiver Of the letter.
we do not know whether Congress will
vote this money or not now. but this
improvement In, the mall service Will
come about eventually, And It will be
of great public benefit. Whatever tends
to make rural life more agreeable and

General Gordon's Funeral.

III an order lust issued Lieutenant
General Stephen y. Lee, Lieutenant Com
n,under Of Confederate Veterans, assumes
the office or Commandcr"in-Chief of the
Veterans Association, made vacant by
the dealt, Of General Gordon.
General Lee Is the senior of the sur
vivlng llcutennnt- generals OF the Confed-
eracy. These arc himself, a. r. Stewart
aud Simon b. Buckncr. General Wheeler
was slated for promotion to the office Of
lieutehant-g general. but his commission
was never issued, we believe. 1T there
foro appears that three, If not four, leu
tenant-generals OF the Confederacy SUR
vive Iongstreet and Gordon.
Tho funeral of General Gordon Is to
tako place In Atlanta In the hall of the
House or Representatives, and among
those who IRE expected TO speak on that
occasion arc Generals S. d. Lee, Stewart
and Evans: also Judge Jones' Of Mont
gomery, and Senator John w. Daniel, Of
Virginia.
The different organizations Of Confed-
erato veterans throughout the South Will
be requested to take part In the funeral
services, ana 1t is expected that many

Democratic Convention.

. The National Democratic Committee
will assemble to-day In Washington for
the purpose OF fixing a timo and place for
the meeting OF the convention Of the
party to nominate President and Vice
President and put forth platform Of
principles. The Hon. j. Taylor Ellyson
is the member from Virginia. .
The Republican convention will be held
in Chicago in June and 1t is supposed.
therefore, that the Democratic convention
will not be held until July, ast is the
custom for the party In power to be the
first to hold its A,nventlon and select
Its leaders.
In what city tho Democratic conven-
ton will meet Is a question. New York
Is actively preparing to present her
claims for this honor and so are St.
Louis and Chicago.
For a long time New York has been
very lukewarm in such matters but now
1t seems to be in earnest. The chief OBJ.
lection raised against that city is that
