SATISFACTORY FIGURES.

The official figures published in this
paper yesterday Indicate that Bryan VIII
have plurality OF more than D'~0 votes
I'm this state, while our candidates for
Congress will have a plurality OF about
1900 or 1900.
A considerable number OF the Palmer
men voted for our congressional cam
dldates. as did some who did not vote
at all for presidential electors. And then
there were some who voted for Mckin-
ley. and yet supported our House eandi-
dates.
The general results in Virginia are
very gratifying to us. and more than
fulfil the measure OF expectation OF our
party leaders. Knowing what men, what
money. what influences we had 10 fight
those IN the inncrmost counsels OF our
party hardly expected that we would do
as well as we have done.
It is inconceivable from any informa-
ton now in our possession that we
shall ever have to fight stronger oppo-
sitlon than we had against us in this
campaign. And when II comes TO state
election, many who fought US hard on
November 81 will be on our side.
1t is scarcely possible that the Demo
cratic party Of Virginia will ever be
called upon TO so into another campaign
so ill-supplied with money as we were
in this So. we cannot but be satisfied
with what we have done. and cannot
but give thanks and praise to all who
contributed to our triumph.
We have fought well, and won Vic
tory against great odds, and are now
entitled to take a rest, and this we'll
do-unless we see or hear Of PERM
cious activity" upon the part Of our op-
ponents, which viii require us again to
fly to arms, so to speak.

The Baltimore suns Washington CORE
spOndeut writes.
Representative Turner. OF Virginia.
who has returned 20 Washington, believes
that the coming session Of Congress will
be an exceedingly quiet one. The Republi-
cans. he thinks, will attempt little more
IN the nature Of general legislation than
the passage OF the appropriation bills. and
that all consideration OF the tariff question
VIII be postponed until after hr. Mckiu-
ley's Inauguration. Such n Postpoucment.
Mr.. Turner believes, rs due the President
elect. and the incoming Congress. What
the policy OF the Republicans will be III
an extra session OF Congress Is called
Mr.. Turner does not attempt 10 cOujec-
turc. but he believes as does nearly every
other Democratic member OF the present
House. that a complete revision of the
present tariff law will be attempted. Mr..
Turner Is one Of the few members Of the
present House from Virginia who opposed
free coinage and was sim unwilling 10
vote the Republican ticket. As a result
ne took no part In the campaign. and Will
retire from tho House upon the 4th Of
March. one Of his personal friends. who
was with him to-day. declares that the
number Of Democrats In Virginia who
voted for Bryan for the sake OF what
they considered regularity. and yet who
did not believe I'm free silver was very
large. He asserts that had party feeling
been entirely eliminated from the fight
Bryans vote would have been much
smaller in the State. and ne assumes the
same Is true OF the entire country. He
argues, therefore, that the vote received
by Mr.. Bryan does not show the real
weakness Of the silver cause. and he be-
lieves that We're another convention held
az once, In which the real sentiment OF
the Democracy could find expression. the
free and unlimited coinage of silver could
not find endorsement in the platform"

We gather from the New Orleans pa
pers that the new election law has given
general satisfaction throughout Louisiana.
1t is true that it materially cut down the
vote, but, the Times Democrat says that
was expected and desired Of it-and an in
vestigation "will show that the voters
who failed to cast their ballots were OF a
class we can spare with advantage" on
the other hand. it made the election UNI
usually quiet and peaceable, "and got
away from that dangerous excitement
which has been one Of the marked condi-
lions Of politics in louisiana"
The law was not intended to get rid
of all the nliterate voters, but to go as
far in that direction as the Constitution
allowed. It is desired in Louisiana to dis
franchise all illiterates. but this could not
be done under the present Constitution.
A convention called for next year is for
the special purpose of overcoming this
objection, and allowing the Legislature TO
make the knowledge Of reading and
writing essential TO the enjoyment Of the
franchise. Under Louisiana's present or
ganic law all that can be done is to dis
suade the illiterate voters, and to render,
as far as possible, intelligence necessary
to cast a ballot. That the law has ac-
complished this result is proved, says the
Times-Democrat, by the fact that "the
Republican vote has been cut down to but
little over a quarter of what Il was in
April, barely seven months ago"

STNNE UHICK.

A great brick-pant is to be established
at San Francisco. which, it IS expected
will revolutionlze the brick industry
there. The process 10 be used is that
Of Professor L. c. Brice, Of Washing
ton d. c.
The bricks will be manufactured from
powdered stone, or the elements con-
tanned in such stone-such as sand clay
etc. These substances are mixed with q
prepared "hux." which acts as bond
holding together the PARTICLES Of sand OF
other material used as a filler; the
whole being thoroughly annealed by heat
ing.
Among the advantages claimed for the
Brice brick IS the saving Of time only
ten hours being needed for their manu-
facture. instead Of from eight TO thirty
DAVIS: a much less consumption OF fuel
scarcely any loss from burning, a crush
ing strength OF from 1900 TO 5000 pounds
TO the square inch. instead Of from
400 to 400 pounds, and a reduction of cost
n three nfths of that of the old-style
bricks
The manufacture Of similar brick was
begun in this city before the war, and
the foundations of an armory were laid
with them, on the west side Of Ninth
street between Main and Cary But
good brick clay. which If very scarce in
many other localities, is abundant here,
and the manufacture Of concrete bricks, -
which was stopped at the outbreak Of
the war; was never afterwards resumed
here. Still. If there is any great merit
in the new process, Richmond would be
a suitable place in which to establish a
plant so plentiful are stone and stone

In several Of the public schools Of Som
erville, Mass, the teachers took a vote of
the pupils on elecuon-day, with the result
that the Bryan children were found to be
largely in the minority. 1t is suspected
that this was a shrewd. but outrageous,
move on the part Of some Of the teachers
to find out how the fathers of the pupils

by their fathers. The Somerville School

There Is a growing impression among
Virginia politicians who have returned to

General Lees fitness for his present
position has been demonstrated during
