According TO the New York Herald
Mr.. Tesla has been working for many
years on his theory of the necessity and
the practlcability Of the conservation or
electrical energy. The present mean
descent light gives only per cent. OF
Illuminating power. The other 81 per
cent. Is wasted in heat. In accordance
with Mr. Tesla's theories. which have
been already applied successfully 10 the
economical transmission of the electric
fluid. he applied himself TO the saving
OF some OF this wasted energy in electric
lighting.
The bulb which he has perfected gives
10 per cent. Of light and loses 90 per cent.
Of energy. Mr.. Tesla declares that he
will, with the aid of few more expert
ments. be able TO produce 40 per cent. OF
light, so that the waste will be reduced
10 only co per cent. or 81 per cent. less
than at present

acquaintance OF his, one Edwin

years OF age, who is boss burner

Alton, H., used Ripans Tabules
with marked success for a pain in
the right side, which had caused
him considerable trouble. The
Tabu;es were brought to his notice

NEW YORK BUSINESSMEN SPEAK.

To quote the utterances OF the business
men OF New York on the silver question
Is to arouse tho prejudices OF the men
for whose benefit they are quoted. Never
theless. the New York Cotton Exchange
made q deliverance a day or two ago
which reads as follows:
Whereas, the continued uncertainty IN
regard to the monetary system OF the
nation has caused widespread financial
and commercial disirust. crppling enter
prise and paralyzing the trade OF the
country; and.
Whereas. We consider a sound and sta
bic currency absolutely indispensable 10
our national and commercial property
and the chief means Of restoring conn
dence at home and abroad: therefore De
IL
Resolved. That the New York Cotton
Exchange places itself on record a. being
uneuulvocally opposed 10 any debasement
Of the currency. and emphat.caly declares
i'm favor Of and urges the maintenance
OF the present gold standard OF value
recognized 10y the great commercial ma
lions Of the world.
Resolved. That we believe that the
question OF the permanence Of the goo
standard should now be settled. aud that
Il should be considered the paramount
issue al the coming election by b3tE 20
litical parties.
Resolved. That we respectfully and
earnestly ask that the conventions of the
two great parties shall clearly and dis
tinctly declare in favor Of the gold stand
ard and against the free coinage OF silver
so that the country may enjoy the pros
perity which its mighty resources justify
and warrant.
Resolved. That copy OF these resolu-
tions be mailed TO the various cotton eN-
changes Of the country, inviting them
TO cooperate with us in the direction in
dicated by the foregoing resolutions
The Journal of Commerce comments as
follows:
"The Cotton Exchange has set an eX-
ample which should be widely followed
by commercial bodies. In the present
state Of the public mind II takes some
courage for businessmen 10 declare their
position unequivocaly, and to cali on me
national conventions to DO their part h'
stopping the silver agitation. Some meh
are afraid OF offending their customers
others are restrained by considerations
Of party politics. or the fear that thel
NAV be thought TO be introducing politics
into their business. But the COTTON IN

The Lee Park Pleasure Association
lessees of the race-course of the Expo
sition-Grounds, intimate that they VIII
have races here during the week of the
reunion. The proximity Of their track
to the auditorium makes it very neces-
sary that extraordinary care should be
taken lest these races interfere with or
mar the dignity and solemnty OF the ses-
sions of the Grand Encampment of the
United Confederate Veterans. How this
can be successfully managed we confess
we do not know, but we take it for grant
ed that the Pleasure Association will an
nounce no programme until it is ap-
proved by the Veterans Committee Of
ARRANGEMENTS, and that that committee
will not endorse any plan which will de-
tract in the slightest from the almost
sacred character of the reunion, or be
out of keeping with our position as hosts.
This is "A matter which should receive
very careful consideration from the Nete-
rams Committee, and, If they have any
doubt at all, we think they would bet
ter err upon the safe side. 1t fortunately
happens that the park managers are gem
tlemen who, we suppose. would not for
the world violate any Of the proprieties
Of the occasion OF the Confederate re-
union.

AGAINST FREE COINAGE

The result of yesterdays Democratic
urinary election here establishes Rich
mond's position as "A soundmoney city;
a city whose people believe that the free
coinage of silver at ratio of 16 to /
would be a rash thing for this country TO
undertake to do, Independently OF the
action OF other nations.
The occasion of the election was the
choosing OF delegates TO represent Rich
mond In the State Democratic Conyen-
ton. which is 10 be held at Stanton on
June 4th. The upshot of it is that
large majority of the delegates named
are opponents of 16-to-1 free coinage.
However, it remains to be seen whether
the free silverites have not secured
number OF delegates here sufficient with
the number the counties will give them TO
enable them TO name the two delegates
from this congressional district to the
Chicago convention.
In our judgment. the opponents Of free
silver might easily have obtained many
more delegates here than they did obtain
had they conducted their campaign with
q little more energy and discretion. Some
mistakes OF theirs are now apparent TO
everybody.
That the aggregate vote was small
may be accounted for on two grounds:
First, the free-silver men massed their
workers in those voting precincts which
they thought they might carry. and gave
their opponents a "walk-over" I'm the rest
Of the city. This was no doubt good
politics" for them. but in the precincts
which were left uncontested IL robbed
the election OF all interest. SO. in the
uncontested precincts, the vote was ex-
ceedingly light. Nothing else could have
been expected.
In the second place. we are bound 20
admit that a considerable number Of
voters who lived in contested precincts
did not vote. because they did not wish
10 be bound to support the nominees Of
the Chicago convention.
All who so acted acted against the APP
peals and the advice of the Dispatch,
and. we think. made a mistake; but the
fact is as stated. and our out-of-town
readers have the right TO know 1t. In
the country. too. where meetings have
netn BOlNH on lpI SfAtAdl NtNho ldcAf w
are Informed that many members Of the
party did not participate in the meetings
10 elect delegates for like reason-unwill-
ingness to be bound. or to feel bound, &c
support the nominees Of our national con-
yention.
These facts. according to our way OF
thinking emphasize the need for tht
exercise of great caution and extra con
servatism in our State convention. Al
ready the currency question has split oul
party in some States. and other divisions
in other States. are impending.
In everything we do at stanton WI
should have in view not only so
luton, II possible, of the problems nov
pressing heavily upon us. but the fat'
OF our party after the presidential cam
paign is over.
In other words. we Virginia Demo
Gratis cannot well afford to risk all ou
fortune and hopes upon presidential
campaign into which our party win entel
with but shadowy hopes of success.

NO IkE FOR THE NEGRO.

Tho same old story of northern anti
patty TO the negro comes from Fitzgerald,
Ga. FITZGERALD is new town that has
been built up and settled by several
thousand Union veterans from the North
and West and their families. Into the
place, however. had also drifted about
twenty-five native negroes; but even that
small number proved sufficient TO precipi-
tate the cOlor-iine issue A few nights ago
there was a mass-meeting OF the white
laborers and mechanics Of the town. at
which violent speeches against the
negroes were made and resolutions We're
passed to exclude the colored brother en-
tlrely from the co. The call for the
meeting was g.. up In prominent
places and ornaG with pictures OF
a skull and cross-nones.
We are not at all surprised at this
proceeding. To the average northern man
the negro 50 long as he is afar on, IS a
man and a brother. but let the negro
come into competition in the slightest
degree with the northern mechanic or
iaborcr and he is driven ruthlessly To the
wall and denied. IL possible, the opportu-
nifty 10 make a living in even the
humblest capacity. The Fitzgerald Incl
dent Is only another illustration OF the
hypocrisy OF northern negrophilism, and
another lesson TO the negro that his only
real friends are the people OF the South.
Race prejudice is as strong among the
northern whites as IL Is among the south
ern whites. but in the ease Of the former
selnshness and a fear OF contamination
By being thrown In contact with the
negro that do not obtain with southerners.
The southern whites have distinctly
