Democrntlc Yictories.

! There were elections in eleven States
/ yesterday. In the result OF only two OF
them, however. was there any great and
general interest. Tn Sc were the cleo
tions in New York and Virginia. There
was not much doubt about the result Of
the elections in the other states.
In New York, on the day preceding the
election, the impression seemed TO prevail
that Mr. Davenport's prospect Tor carry
ing the state was slightly better than
Gov. Hills. The returns. however, as
soon as they began 10 come in, were
favorable 10 Gov. Hi. and at
O'Clock this morning the indi .ations
were that be had carried the state by
maiority OF from 10000 70 10000. There is
no doubt that the very high regard that
is entertained for President Cleveland and
his administration, and the very general
approval Of the straightforward course
that he has pursued since be became the
head OF the government, have had great
deal 70 do with the gains which the
Democratic ticket made in New York and
in other States.
There is no doubt that Gen Fitzhugh
Lee has carried virginia by a handsome
majority, which. at this hour, IS estimated
at 10000. It's mighty probable, also, that
the Legislature is Democratic. In that
case Senator Malone will not linger much
longer on the political stage, II be goes
ont Of the Senate he will go out Of politics
and into obscuritv. Nirginians viii have
good reason TO rejoice on the day that Ma
homes political power in their state is
finally and forever broken.
There is some satisfaction in the thought
that whatever may have been the effect Of
sherman's and Foraker's bloody shirt
speeches in Ohio they were without effect
ia New York and Virginia. The Demo-
cratic gains in New York, Virginia, Con-
nectIcut and elsewhere indicate pretty
clearly that the people are well satisfied
with President Cleveland and the course
that he is pursuing, and that they are
not likely to be influenced TO return the
Republican party to power by any such
issues as Sherman, Logan and other Re
publican leaders endeavored to make
prominent in the State campaigns just

Light. Heat and Power.

BradStreers takes a cheerful view OF
the economies Of heating and lighting in
the future. 1t is disposed to concede in a
great measure the claims Of the expert
mentors who are now furnishing and pre-
pairing TO furnish cheap gas in scores, il
not hundreds Of cities and large towns.
The most remarkable OF these claims 10
that the cheapest fuel known, not except
ing wood in the primitive forests, or coal
At the mines, is a gas produced by one of
the new processes. The cost Of this gas
is estimated at 10 to 10 cents per 1000
feet, ana it is said that one ton OF coal
converted into this gas is equal to ten
tons burned in the ordinary way.
Natural gas is furnished to consumers
in Pittsburg and other places at - cents
per 1000 and even less, and it is fast dis
placing wood and coal for all purposes to
which it can be applied. There is little
room 10 doubt that the cheaper processes
Of manufacturing gas will soon come into
general use in cities and towns where
natural gas cannot be obtained.
1t is question whether there will be
any very great compstition between gas
and electricity. The latter win become
more popular as the electric science pro-
crosses, and as new inventions make cleo
tricity more economical, desirable ana
safe. When gas can be produced at such
fabulously low prices as those mentioned
it will become an auxiliary, instead of
being rival Of the electric systems OF
lighting and heating, which are now in
use, or being introduced. II gas engines
can be operated at even one-ffth the ex-
pense that is now required to operate
steam engines, the problem Of producing
electricity at a price that Will bring it
within the reach of the humblest will
have been solved.
When the economy OF the use OF cleo
| tricity is satisfactorily settled, it will not
be long before the question as to its de-
sirableness and safety will disappear,
and its use must be greatly extended. not
| only for lighting, but for heating and the
production OF pOWer

miles away and see abOu. getting oysters for
a church festival.
How many cans would you want?" asked
the dealer.
We'll, you may give me figures on twenty
cans"
The lowest price was given HIM, and he took
his leave. but in about is minutes he came
back, and said
"I've been thinking it all over. We shall
have at least 30 people to feed, and you'd bet
ter give me figures on 40 cans"
A price was made, and after doing some
figuring on his own a count he observed:
Gone TO figure upon the crowd. think We
can count on at least 300. Nobody out our way
has had any oysters yet, and every body viii
expect to I'LL right up to the brim. Let's hg

A Siberian Priest Ahead Of Pastour.

The French professor Pasteur, who has
made himself famous by inOculating men AND
cattle with disease germs TO insure them
aga nst epidemics, ought to yield the palm of
priority in that discovery TO a humble priest
of our own country. IN 1868, when the Sibe-
Ran plague was killing the cattle in this
place, Father Andrew Joakimanskv OF the
Tr0itzky village, resorted to Il desperate
means in order to save his COWS. He got some
blood from dying COW. saturated threads
with that blood, and passed these threads
through the ears Of the healthy cows, number
ing II. At the place where the ears were
punctured there appeared tumors Of the size
OF pigeon eggs. In a short time hose JUNIORS
disappeared, and the cows remained alive
and heal n.y. though the rest of the cattle Of
that village persisted.
