SENATOR
DANIEL.
VIII be Delegate
at LARGE

In view Of the apparent design II
certain quarters to send an unin-
structed delegation 70 the Demo
cratic National Convention. and OF
Senator John w. Daniels open hos
tlity to w ]. BRYAN. the following
article from one Of our Richmond
contemporaries makes very interest
ing reading:
Probably no one hereabouts is au-
thorized to speak concerning Sena-
tor Daniels present attitude towards
William Jennings BRYAN. or con-
cerning his views as 20 the suggest
ion that the State Democratic Con-
venuon adopt a resolution declaring
tor the popular Nebraskan.
Heretofore il has been the Gus
tom. in selecting the four delegates
at large TO the National Convention.
ito include in this quartette the two
United States senators. the Governor.
and some other Democrat Of promi-
uence.
The four deiegates-at-large 10
the last conyePdon were the Gov
ernor. the two senators and Allen
Caperton Braxton.
It NAV be that Major Daniel. in
view OF his recent unpleasant colo
guy with the Nebraskan. VIII de-
cline to be a delegate at large this
summer. His course. however.
might be regulated entirely by what
happens at the convention. and as 70
that no man can prophesy definitely
Just now.
The Virginia Democrats. Tor in
stance. might show their approval OF
Bryan in either one Of two ways.
They might adopt a resolution com
mitung the convention 10 him. in
which event the entire delegation
would be bound. or they might de-
clare for the unit rule. which would
compel them all 10 vote as ore.
The unit rule. with all the pres
ent signs so markedly Ia favor OF the
Nebraskan. would practically De
equivalent 10 a declaration FOR him.
One thing is certain. Senator
Daniel. morally. at least. is estopped
from opposing the unit rule. as he
proposed Just that very thing in the
Stanton convention of 1900. Things
were somewhat different then.
In those days he was for Brvan
and free silver. and the unit rule
meant all of Virginia's rgenty-four
votes FOR the Nebraskan.
Great was the division CT sent
ment on the much yeSed question OF
currency at that tine. The Second
District was against free silver and
its delegation consequently was
fiercely opposed 10 the unit rule.
The late Mike Glennsn. OF Norfolk.
and Mr.. West. OF Suffolk. were the
great exponents OF the gold cortine-
ent. while Judge Watts. OF Ports
mouth. took the floor OF the corven-
uon. and made a strong speech
against forcing the entire delegaeca
70 vote as a single nan.

LEAGUE.
Earnest Work for
Clean Town.

liamsourg CIVIC League was held
Thursday. March Is. at the Model
School building. The committee
appointed to procure permanent
wa ste paper reoeptacles for the
streets reported the purchase of six
covered cans provided with chains
and yale padlocks. These have
been placed at intervals along Duke |
Of Gloucester street and if. as now
seems likely. they serve the purpose
of keeping that street clean the num-
Der viii be increased and the service
extended. The half dozen recepta-
cles have cost the League something
over $40 Mrs. Braithwaite. Mr..
Slater. Nj Phillips. Mr.. Bellamy.
Mr.. Griffin and Mr.. Casey. in front
of whose establishments the differ
ent cans are placed. have very
kindly agreed TO keep the Key and
see that the cans are properly empt-
led and the contents burned. II IS
very gratifying to the League to re-
oeive such cordial cooperation.
II each householder would attend

ls6on of waste paper upon his own
premises our streets would soon
be thing OF beauty. as all en- real
ize who saw the benificial effect OF
the work of the Junior League on
the Palace Green.
The committee on a public dump
ing ground reported that the
Council has the matter under con
siderauon and action viii soon be
taken.
In Norfolk an unsiehuy ravine OF
marsh was converted into a beauti-
ful park by using it as public
dump. the piles Of trash being cov-
cred al intervals with earth. thus
quickly making a good piece Of.
land for park purposes as well as re
moving an eyesore from the city.
No doubt one or both OF the ravines
in our city could be quickly filed
and inconvenience 70 neighboring
householders be prevented BY a iu-
dicious use Of earth.
Complaint was made BY various
members that their sidewalks were
being ruined because teams were /
driving over them 10 avoid muddy /
roads. A law exists against such I
practice and unless it is enforced the
money expended cor new sidewalks |
will DC practically wasted. tits sug- !

OF the Junior League being espec-
tally interesting:

Harrisburg is having a contagion of
smallpox, according to reporrs that have
been received by Health Oaicer Davis of
this city, three cases having recently ap-
peared, all of which came from exposure
to cases in Junction City, where the dis
ease is also prevalent. From the reports
received, it appears that the infection in
Harrisburg has been widespread, and
there are likely to be many new cases
deyelop unless active measures are in
stituted to prevent them. A number of
school children are said to have been ex-
posed, which makes the situation all the
more serious.-Albany Herald.
A letter written by J. A. Dawson OF
this city to his old home paper in Mis-
souri, has borne fruit, A few days ago
Mr.. Dawson received letter of inquiry
from Texas. It was written by lady
and the way she fired the questions at
Mr.. Dawson was not slow. It was plain
ly evident from her letter that she had
heard of Oregon but had learned nothing
of its climate, resources, people, schools,
or atural advantages. She asked about
everything imaginable and few things
besides, and concluded with the informa-
ton that she and her family contemplate
coming to Oregon to reside. This item
is given to illustrate how little is known
of Oregon in many sections of the East
and South, and also to show how tew
words of praise, such as Mr.. Dawson
sent to his home paper, will advertise
our state and interest the homeseeker in
these less-favored sections.
