Republican Gains in the Cities.
No careful observer can have failed to
notice one Distinguishing feature in all
the elections held this spring in various
parts of the country, both East AMI West.
That is that the Republicans appear to
have made decided gains 10 all the large
cities. This was seen in Chicago, IN
Providence, in Milwaukee, in the Micbi-
gan town elections, and IN those nearer
home in New York, particularly in
Rochester, Syracuse, Lockport, Utica,
Albany, and Oswego. Again it has just
been seen in Jersey City.
Yet it is upon the cities of the country
that the Democracy absolutely depends
for success in all the doubtful States OF
the North this year, Unless the cities do
their full duty, the triumph of the Demo-
cratic candidate to be nominated in
Chicago, otherwise assured, will be i'm
perilled.
Why should the Republicans in the
spring elections Of ls92 gain generally in
the industrial cities OF the country, unless
1t is that in the discussion Of the national
questions incident to this years battle
the revolutionary plans Of the free trade
extremists have diverted from the paIty's
support great body of voters whose
Democracy is undoubted IN. Y. Sun,

The Law of Promissorv Notes.

The Law Of Promissory Notes.
THE FIVE ESSENTIAL LEGAL ELEMENTS IN
NEGOTIABLE PAPER.
There are five essential elements to the
legal validity OF negotiable note, draft
or check:
/. 1t must be payable IN money, that
IL, gold, silver, or greenbacks, possibly
also in United States currency, not In
any kind OF merchandise. Thus n note
payable in 100 calves" has been decided
invalid.
3. II must be payable without any
contingency or uncertainty. A note
promising to pay IS 900 out of the pro-
ceeds of ore to be raised and sold from any
mine," is invalid. But particular fund
may be designated, as 81 promise to pay
ont of the estate of John Smith, deceas
ed.r
3. 1t mist be payable at a certain
specified time-a time certain to arrive.
A note payable to Joseph Jones "when
he is 81 years of age" is not good, for he
NAV not live to be 81, and so the time
Is not certain to arrive.
But note payable ION demand" is held
to be good, for demand is in the ma.
ture of things certain to be made at some
time. The owner of such a note would
not possess common sense if be never de-
manded payment.
4. 1t must be payable TO the order Of
a certain party therein named, or else
payable to bearer. Otherwise it is moi
negotiable, although as written con
tract 1t is good as between the maker and
the person to whom it is payable. But
il is not capable of endorsement unless
the words 'order" or "bearer" appear.
5. The amount payable must be specl
| fled and certain. note for 500 with
interest can be calculated and thus Ger
tainly ascertained, but note reading
"Pay Sl0J or 5000 is not good.

Cleveland Means Sure Defeat.

SENATOR BRICE SAYS ONLY WESTERN
DEMOCRAT CAN SAVE DEMOCRACY,
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Cal
vim Brice will not serve again as chair
man of the National Democratic Com
mittee. He said to-day that he was con-
WINGED the chance of a Democratic sue
cess lies in the selection of Western
man. He does not believe that Hill can
be elected and declares that Cleveland's
nomination means sure defeat. So little
interest does he take in the Cleveland
boom that he will take a trip to
Europe if the Democrats force Cleveland's
nomination at Chicago.
Representative Hurd of Missouri, one
of the oldest and most Influential Demo
Gratis IN the House, says that Cleveland
NAV be nominated, but cannot be elected
He is supported by Democratic ex-otfice
holders, who expect to be restored Ia
their federal offices in the event of his
election. Practical men OF the West and
South realize that neither Hill nor Cleve-
land can carry New York and the ma
iority of them favor German of Maryland
or some Western man.
"These views" says Mr.. Hurd, "repre'
sent the general sentiment among Demo
cratic Congressman"

The Return Of the Direct Tax
Money.


Mr.. John B. Moon, the Virginia agent
at Washington for the copying of the
names of those entitled 10 the return OF
the direct tax money paid by them, writes
to the Richmond Dispatch that he hopes
to deliver the lists with the money to the
county treasurers, or commissioners, in
two or three months He says there are
90, 900 tracts OF land, in forty-nine coun-
ties, embr aced IN the list, and the aver
age payment to be refunded to each
claimant is 81 30 to s.. Mr.. Moon says
there are no authorized lists Of the claims
in circulation.
The Governor, in referring to the direct
tax money, said it might be we'll to give
a fuller explanation than has so far ap-
peared regarding the loaniDg ont of the
fund.
When the money was received 1t was
evident that it would be several months
before the copies of the lists could be Sc
cured and the details for its distribution
completed. It was therefore out on call
to four OF the State repositories at 3 per
cent. per annum. 1t is calculated that
will pay all the expenses Of distribution.
As soon as the lists are ready so that the
treasurers and commissioners will be in
position to commence the refunding, 1t
will be drawn out OF the banks.

Woman Journalists.

All press club and journalistic assOcia.
tions of women will be specially well
cared for by the woman's department al
the fair. They will have commodiout
and elegant headquarters in the woman's
building, and every facility for seeing and
hearing. The woman journalist will be
a privileged and fortunate woman in lS93.
1t is strange that the many bright women
of Virginia who write for newspapers and
periodicals have never formed themselve:
into press association. This is an ex.
cellent time to inaugurate such move
nent. At the great international Ex'
position they would meet on equal terms
the brightest feminine literary lights Of
all the countries of our planet, aud We
are sure would add to the lustre OF the
galaxy.
Valuable as Virginia's representation al
Chicago may be as an advertisement oil
her magnificent resources, it may be safe
" said that its beneficial effects will be
apparent. not only in material evidences,
but in the spirit of her people, whose
efforts make them opponents and stimu-
lants of her industrial progress. Per-
haps indeed, its greatest good may be ac-
com plished in this way, for the pros
perity of an American community de-
ponds upon the spirit of its own people,

Industrial Progress of the South.
The rapid strides which the South is
making in industrial and material pros
perity are shown by the striking figures
presented by Nr. Carroll D. Wright,
United States Commissioner of Labor, in
AN address at Nashville. In ten years
from 1880 to 1590--cotton mills increased
in number from l61 TO 1874, spindles from
100000 to 100000 aud the value of pro-
ducts from SIC, 100000 to $4,000, 900.
Daring the same pesiOd the capital in
vssted in wooden manufactures increased
from tour to ten millions. In 1850
the banking capital of the South was
SOP 100000; in 1890 it was sl7l,oO 10000.
The total capital invested in manufac-
tures and establishments Of all kinds rose
from Sis, COO, 900 in 1880 to SOL, OOO, 600
