William Moody, Of WakUlla county, was
severely stabbed in the neck last Tuesday

road crossing and there waited until time for
his victim to come along. AS Moody ap-
preached. Anderson struck of on brisk gal

proven fatal.

The Meeting of the Legislature.

The Legislature OF this State meets to-
day, and there will be, doubtless, a very
full attendance. 1t will be several days
before either house is ready to begin Sc
riOusly the work Of legislation. 1t is not
probable that there will be much difficulty
in selecting officers. The field was pretty
well canvassed several DAYS ago, and the
majority Of the members, perhaps, had
made up their minds with respect to the
applicants for the different positions be-
fore they went TO Atlanta. If they had
not they were not in doubt long, in all
probability after they reached the capitol.
There are a great many State officials TO
be chOsen-Judges and Solicitors General.
The LEGISLATURE viii hardly get through
with this branch of its work in a couple
Of weeks. There will be a good deal Of
wire-pulling and trading, doubtless, and
il is by no means certain that the best
men will be the fortunate ones. In a con-
test where success depends upon other
things than merit, modest men are
apt to meet with defeat.
The present plan Of selecting Judges
and Solicitors General isn't a good one,
and the impression is growing that 1t is
about the worst ever tried in the State.
1t is probable that change in selecting
these important officials would meet with
very general favor.
There are some very important matters
that demand the attention Of the Legis-
lature. The finances of the State require
looking after, and there is in every part
Of the State a greater or less Outcry
against the present method Of assessing
property. 1t is certain that a very large
per cent. OF the taxable property OF the
State is not taxed at all, and that the
property that is taxed is taxed very IN
equally.
1t would be a good plan for the Legis-
lature TO devote less of it's time to purely
local matters and more to those which
concern the people Of the whole State
than has been the case heretofore.

,,,,,-,,,,a,,no ,be steam Engine.

Mr. Edison. the electric wizard, mas set
himsalf to work in earnest to conslgn the
s,oam engine to oblivion. he has as
siorod himself five years Of hard work
vvitbin which to complete the task. Elec-
tricitv must be obtained cheaplY before
its use can become general, and to obtain
it cheaply some new process for its gen.
Grafton must be discovered. The steam
engines, with their ravenous furnaces
and the costly dynamos, must be done
away with. Edison says under the pres
emf rude and wasteful methods OF obtain
ing power not one hundredth part of the
coal burned is made available. As zinc
is consumed in the battery. be proposes to
convert coal into electricity directly at
mere nominal cost. If he succeeds, the use
of electricity will, in a comparatively
short time. become almost universal.
Jablocbkof and others have expert
mented in this direction, and Edison has
already devoted the better part of the last
six months to preparations for the task
no has undertaken. Ali the experiments
made so far have seemed TO encounter in
surmOuntable obstacles, and yet there
have been indications Of ultimate success.
1t may take years of patient study and
work to overcome these obstacles, CT they
NAV be swept away very soon by some
chance discovery, as when an idle boy
first saw how the valve rod of the steam
engine could be made automatic in its
action.
Mr.. Edison says he can get quite a cur
rent of electricity now from the combus-
ton Of fuel, but he acknowledges that he
5 vet apparently very far from obtaining
il economically and satisfactorily. He is
hopeful of trIumphing within the time
stated, but he does not appear TO be over
sanguine. He says electricity as now
generated and applied costs ten times as
much as it ought to cost, and that when
the desired object is attained 1t will revO-
lutionize the world. Every one then, even
the poor, can have light, heat, and power
without stint.
Ifany man can overcome the difficulties
named it is probable that Edison can. He
is familiar with all that is now known
about electricity, he is possessed of won
derful inventive genius, and he has the
laboratories, workshops, assistants and
means necessary for the prosecution OF
the work he has undertaken. The out.
come Of his labors will be watched for
with interest by the whole civilized world
No doubt many electricians will devote
themselves to the same task, but it is on
Edison the attention Of America will be
| centred, and Americans will have faith in
his ultimate success.

Democracy Victorioas.


At this writing, 1 80 a. m, theredoesnr
appear to be any good reason to DOUBT
that he Democratic party has won
great victory and that IrOver Cleveland
will be the next President OF the Oni'eu
States. -@,
mo DemocTatie majority in the city OF
New York is 5s,OsS and in the CITY oi
BROOKLYN 5,2S9. 1t is not possible lot tne
Pon,bIicans % o7ercom e these majorities
IN the countrvdistricts From the returns
At hand if looks as if Cieveland's majority
would be between 10000 and 25,eeO IN the
state.
Vow Jersey is certainly Democratic.
The majority will be at least 5000, and II
may be 700.
connecticut is very close, but the re-
turns thus far received indicate that the
state has given a small Democratic ma
ioritv. The Southern States with the
three States named give Cleveland three
more electoral votes than he needs.
The Republicans have made gains IN
Virginia. but there is no probability that
the gains will be sufficient to overcome
the substantial Democratic majority of
the election Of last year, when Malone
was overwhelmed.
The Republicans had some hope of Flor
ida. but they have received nothing from
that source that is encouraging.
In Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Mas
sacbusetts. and several other strong Re
nubliean states the Democrats have made
substantial gains.
The people have become tired Of Re
publican rule and the corrupt methods
which the Republican party has intro
duced into the administration Of the gov
eminent. After nearly quarter Of a
century Of power the Republican party
goes out Of power with fair prospect
that il will never get control Of the gov
eminent again.
The campaign was one Of the most nota-
bic in the history Of the country. Both
parties put forth extraordinary exertiOns
70 secure the victory. The Republican
party. however, was weighed down with
itb own record and the record OF its can
didate.
