The election in Louisiana. held Tuesday
resulted in a great Democratic victory, which
was in all respects gratifying Both political
parties were badly demoralized and cut up
into factions TO such tn extent that it was
impossible to foretell results. and it was
greatly feared that there would be serious
troubles and perhaps bloody Disturbances.
with very great possibility that the Repub
licans would step in and carry the State.
The election, however, passed oil quietly,
and the result was straightout Democratic
victory, with the anti-lo.tery Democratic can
didate successful by handsome plurality.
No victory could be more satisfactory than
this. 1t not only shows that Louisiana is
safely Democratic, but that the lottery is dead
beyond hope of resurrection In fact. there
is now but little doubt that the lottery people
saw tho handwriting on the wall" some time
ago. and that IS why they were so emphatic
in denying the report that they intended to
make another fight for life upon the expiration

any such effort hopeless as far AS any State OF

WHAT has become of the old Republican
party of Massachusetts, the party of the an
cient aristocracy Of that Commonwealth, the
Summers. the Adamses. the Peabodies, the
Flots of the past? II would have caused
SILVER to pass through the bones of these his
torical worthless if they could have known
that the last Republican Convention was
called to order, not by man whose name
was identified with the most ancient annals
of the State but by an obscure individual
who bore the name of Rotscheky. The
TACT is that the representatives of the
historical families at least in the younger
generations of Massachusetts, have gone over
to the Democratic party. 1t Is in this party
that we must now look for the Adamses, the
Ouincys. the Russells. the Lowells. the Law
rences. the Hears and others who gave
reputation to their native State when the
Republican party was in its prime.
Mr.. HARRY NJ SMITH. JR has published
letter. in which he says that he is satisfied
that frauds were perpetrated at the recent
primary, and he therefore asks the City Cen
trail Committee TO order new election. This
admission, coming from Mr.. Smith, is pecu-
liarly significant. since it will be remembered
that he fought the recount asked for by Col
onel Spotswood very bitterly. and he must
have become fully convinced. through the
investigation which Colonel Spotswood is now
carving on, that fraud had been committed.
But no matter whether the committee
orders "a new election or declares Colonel
tpotswood entitled to the nomination. one
thing is very certain. the Committee owes tito
the Democratic party as well as to itself to
continue the investigation as 10 tasten
the fraud upon the guilty party. Our Demo
cratic primaries should by all means be free
from every faint of crookedness.
IL we understand the Dispatch il means by
natural monopoly" something like this IF
street car company's tracks take up the bed
of street 30 ehectually rs to exclude all
other street cars from that street it has
natural monopoly Of that street. and if
gas company's pipes take up all the pipe
room III that street it has natural mo-
nopoly" of that street. This is perfectly plain.
though we must confess TO seeing but little
reason in it. but we do not see how il bears
on the question whether the city should
build an electric plant, seeing that there is
room enough in the streets Of Richmond for
all the gas pipes and electric wires necessary
to supply population Of a million of people.
YESTERDAYS Dispatch gives US another
touch Of Hill politics. It's correspondent at
Lancaster Courthouse writes it that a mass
meeting of Democrats was held there on the

considerable extent, bnt NJ. Walkup fails to
see now the missionaries can interfere.
Inc natives go of their own free will after
signing contract for IA certain number OF
years. I've worst feature of "blackbrd-
ing is IN the poor, ignorant natives being
taken TO Central America and badly treated
by men who cannot svmpathiZe with or
understand them. In the Hawaii I Islands
they do good work as employers Il &c know
Their peculiarities. If coaXed ley will

Mr. Walkup is Of the opinion that mis-
sionary enterprise, aside from its spiritual
character, opens up avenues for legitimate
trade ana he has testimonials from traders
tnat II would pay them well TO support mis-
slonarles for opening up the islands in this
regard. In the Gilbert Islands the trade in
nquor and guns is almost stopped and there
is an increasing trade for clothes, t00d and

Mr.. and Mrs Bingham have not only re-

The population Of the group OF eighteen

The FIVE southern islands, with a pOpula-

under Mr.. Walkup's charge.
The Gilbert Islands form part OF tho
islands of Micronesia. a subdivision OF Poly
Desia, the generic name for the myriad
islands scattered over the broad Pacific
Ocean Micronesia is in the great coral
belt-ihe Gilbert and Marshall groups being
exclusively OF coral formation-and lies in
the Caroline Archipelago, which stretches
over the sea distance OF 1000 miles from
east TO west Many OF tho atolls, or coral
islands, inclose lag0ons from tel TO fifteen
miles broad AID from twenty to thirty miles
long.
The climate of Micronesia is reverend
ing summer; never so hot as the hottest
summer days in America. and never cold
enough TO cause chilliness. On some OF The
islands the rainfall is excessive, on others
but moderate.
In those groups in which the different
islands are near enough TO allow OF COM
municatoD, even though comparatively in
frequent, there is usually common lam
guage; where widely separated different
languages have been developed. Most OF
the various dialects abound in vowel sounds,
two consonants rarely coming together in
the middle of word, and all words end
ing IN yOwels.
As an Illustration, Mark :25. "And say
ing, the time is fulfilled and the kingdom
OF God is at hand. rerent ye and believe
the gospel" is, in the language Of the Gil
bert Islanders, as follows: "E roko to
bon, 40 a kan uean TO Atua, Kan ma

The hymn, Come to Jesus" is a great
favorite with the Gilbert Islanders. In
English il reads:
Come TO Jesus; como 10 Jesus;
Come TO Jesus INST now,
Just now; como 10 Jesus,
Come to Jesus Just now.
He is calling; he is calling,
He is calling just now,
