Rev. d. p. Ward, the Dakota
Sunday School missionary, of Sioux
Falls, paid his annual visit to our
city on last Sunday and gave II very
interesting. and we hope very profit
able, song service in the evening.
Mr., Ward is probably the finest
singer in the territory, and his songs
awaken an interest in whoever hears
them, The choir also, with Miss
May Miller at the organ and Mr..
Green Crumrine with the c%ornet,
discussed most excellent music.
Very appropriate remarks were
made on behalf of the Sunday
school interest by Rev. Mr. Hines
and Mr.. Ward.

A Lesson from Scripture.

A certain man went down from Jerusalem to
Jericho and fell among thieves, which stripped
him of his raiment and wounded him and de-
parted, leaving him half dead.
And by chance there came down n certain priest
that way; and when he saw him, be passed by on
the other side.
And likewise Levitc, when he was at the
place, came and looked on him, and passed by on
the other side.
But certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, camo
where he was; and when he saw him he had COM
passion on him.
And went to him, and bound up his wouudJ
pouring In oil and wine, and set him on his own
beast, and brought him to an inn, ana took care
of him.-S. Luke, chap. C, 30-3L

would. The negro and his friends will never
stand between the thieves of Jericho and the

and make whito heat of public opinion
which will utterly consume indilerontism

V,re,n,n,s Vote AnnIyzed.

According to tho figures of tho Virginia
election given by the Washington Post the
total vote was 271,s36. Thon 62,18i voters
abstainod from voting for tho same paper
tells us that the total number of voters in
1880, as shown by the census, was $4,000.
With the race issue raised by the democrats
for tho express purpose of forcing o full and
solid white vote for thoir party, and of de-
priving tho coalition of as many black votes
as possible, which race furnished tho most OF
the absentcos?
The census shows that thoro arc 100000
white voters in the state. OF
these it is reasonable to suppose that 10000
voted. Tho colorod voters number $4,000.
If 10000 whites voted, then only 10000
blacks voted. That would bo allowing that
10000 whites and $1,000 blacks constitute tho
81, 600 who are known to have abstained from
voting
The bourbons received about 1i5,000 votes.
These were made up of their own whites,
thousands of white roadiusters who were
made to believe that war of races had
actually commenced, and as many blacks as
money would buy or terror coerce.
Probably as many as 5000 blacks may have
boon bribod and bulldozed. This would leave
10000 as tho white votc which supported the
bourbon side.
fHhn rpalineiara rnnnitya1 nlnuf mn
votes, of which at least $4,000 were from
whites and 1000 from blacks.
The Post informs us that the roadiuster
gain this year over 1881 was 15,47S in total
gain ON tho total vote of G0,6O6. This shows
a bourbon gain over 1881 of 15,12s. Thi.
shows that the repeal of tho capitation taS
gave tho readjusters $4,000 more votes thar
they lost by the race ISSUE while the bour
bons gained $4,000 votes by the cpeal of tht
capitation tax dd the raco issue combined
In 1881 tho election will bo for congressman
and presidential electors. Tho most ordi
nary precautions for the preservation ofordei
and tho protection Of voters will mako the

safely be calculated that not less than 10O0t
white read justers who voted against theii
party under tho Danvllo panic will return t,
their own camp. This would alone defeat the
bourbons, for the vote would then stand
$4,000 for our candidate and $4,000 for the
opposition; 10000 of the $4,000 blacks who
did not vote this year would alone suffice to
save the state in 1884.
From every point of view tho outlook il
most encouraging for the Virginia union mon
and the trumpet call of Malone for reforming
the lines will be found in due time to hav,
been based on substantial reasons for hope o
success.
We have made the Posts figures the basis o
tho above calculation without verifying
their correctness.

Assassination for Harmony.

that mob of democrats in Copiah county, Missis
sippi, warned J. T. Matthews, an employe of tho
federal government, not to vote at the recent
election. And when he voted, and was shot dead
as he turned away from the polls, the assasslna-
ton was doubtless committed for the purpose Of
allaying sectional animosi1y. Besides this, the
Copah county democrats probably felt extreme
anxiety to express their cordial acceptance of the

And yet why should the democrats set Mr..

leader they have except on the tariff ques-
tion. On that he is bold, too, but not on the
democratic side. On the tariff Mr.. Randall
is republican after THE NATIONAL REPUB-
LICAN's own heart Wo shall soc millions of
his tariff speeches circulated next year by
the republican committee to show that the
party Of protection ought to win. But if he
is made speaker and then the nominee for
president, the tariff would be out of tho can
vass, and the issue would be whether tho re-
publicans or tho democrats were moro worthy
of public confidence Neither party is per-
feet but as our party always turns its own
rascals out, tho people would not hesitate in
its choice in Wow of the spirit manifested in

Jules Verno's fascinating pseudo.sclontifc

ginning to the end. Tho scene of tho story
is laid in Great Britain, and tho incidents
and characters are British. Tho same set of
characters, under different names and Of diff
feront nationaltios appear hero as in all of
Verno's works, but, Notwithstanding the pla-
giarism on himself, the vivacious French
author docs not permit the interest of his story
to flag It is one of tho marvels Of this book
making, book reading age that Jules Vornes
improbable and inartistic works should take
such deep hold upon the minds of his readers.
That he has tho genius Of awaking an absorb

and while we cannot holp seeing their count
less defects we go back to them again and
again. "Thc Underground City" is as inn
probable as absurd, and as fascinating as all
