Tea. OF .ns New primary Election Law.

Test oil the New Primary Election Law.
The New Castle county Democratic
primaries, Saturday afternoon, afforded
a practical test of the new Primary
Election law. The result was crafty
ing, in every respect.
While the vote was smsll--for the
reason that the registration thus far is
email and only those who are regis
tered can vote at the primaries
slection passed of in a highly success
full manner. Tho voting was easy and
peaceful. There we're no crowds around
the polling places and not the slightsst
disorder. The FOUNDERS and repsaters
who heretofore found the primaries
such SOURCES OF profit were con-
spicuous by their absence. The law
ruled them out and their occupation
WAS gone.
The election officers were Of un-
uusally fine calibre. and they per-
formed their duty we'll. They made
their returns very pomptly to the legal
custodians. The certificates, in nearly
every 1uSthuCt, Wprb tHoueib VI uedtunhs
and clerical accuracy. The officers had
been provided with all the requisites,
and they applied the facilities for
counting and recording the votes with
Intelligence.
For this Admirable result the credit
is largely due to the Democratic County
Executive Committee. With firm
faith in the wisdom OF the Law, Chair
man Merry worked increasingly ia
make it's operation smooth and
effective. His thorough knowledge oil
all its requirements, and his practical
experience in the detail of political
work provided for every contingency,
and there was scarcely a hitch in the
conduct Of the elsction ia any part 81
the county. The vote, also, was clear
and honest.
Through this Democratic primal,
the new law has been eminently justi
fed. Let the Republicans resolve t.
show like results at their primaries oil
September Gath. II they are. wise the!
will do this. And IL they attempt I,
ignore the low, some persons may lane

Although for some years Java has been
the principal country for producing Gin
chona bark, writes Sidney B. Everett,
United States consul at Batavia, to the
State Department at Washington, yet the
actual manufacture of sulphate of
quinine here has only just begun; it
nevertheless deserves a passing notice.
His attention, he says, was first called to
the matter by an invoice being brought
to me on January 18th, TO be certified
for "a shipment to the United States, Of
10000 ounces of sulpEate of quinine.
This is the first shipment on record and
marks the beginning of a new and very
profitable era in the trade relations be-
tween Java and the United States.
Since then, there have been other ship
mcnts, and up to the present date there
have been shipped, or rather invoiced for
shipment, to the United States, 4S,300
ounces of sulphate of quininc, valued at
$l1 ,395.55, and more will follow.
There is at present only one factory for
working the cinchona bark in Java, and
it has been running very short time;
but, in spite of drawbacks, its owners are
full of energy, and the success of the. en-
terprise is probable.
just now, he says, things look especially
bright, as the war has resulted in rise in
quinine quotations. Quinine from this
factory (Bandoenrsche Kiuine-fabrickl
which the latter part of April was AT
S615 per unit, had risen by the middle Of
May to 1884.
AS regards the cultivation Of the Gin.
chona bark, Consul Everett adds, the re-
suit of the government plantations here
does not bear out the common opinion
that commercial ventures are better
managed by private enterprise. An off
cial report just published shows that the
government in 1896 cleared profit Of
over $3S,500 from its cinchona estates
while the same year was, as Il rule, u very
poor one for planters, owing, Mr.. 'Sijthof
says, TO the nanipulations Of particu
larry INSCRIPTIONS European trust. II,
cannot conceive better investment thar
the planting of cinchona in Java. Tn,
shortage in production in few year
will be very large, and prices will take ;
big jump. Concessions Of land are no
hard to get here if one is on the spot, ant
the climate of the interior OF Java is a
perfect as that of the coast cities is bad.

Some OF the many changes that have
taken place in shipbuIlding in recent
years are emphasized in the construction,
in Maine yard, Of five-mast
schooner for the coal trade between
Philadelphia and New England ports.
The peculiarly of the new vessel is not in
the five masts, although she is only the
second schooner to be thus rugged. She
is distinguished by reason of the fact that
she is the largest fore-and.aft sailing
vessel yet constructed. She will spread
10000 yards of canvas. and is expected to
carry cargo of 1900 tons of coal on 90
feet draught. Other innovations in sail
ing craft will be an electric-light plant
and a steam-heating system. Her sails
and gear, excepting the steering, will be
worked by steam. She IS 3l8 feet over
all, with "A feet breadth of beam and 81
feet depth Of hold. Each of the five
masts will be 112 feet long and 30 inches
in diameter. The foretopmast is to be &c
feet long and 90 inches in diameter, and
the other four topmasts are each to be &c
feet long and Is inches in diameter. The
jbboom is to be rs feet and 20 inches it
diameter. The bowsprit has 80 feet out
board, and is 80 inches square. The fore
main, mizzen and spanker booms are tC
be As feet long and Ia Inches in diameter
