A hot-headed Irishmsn accidentally
insulted an equally ! hot-headed
Frenchman, who insisted on fighting
duel with the Hibernian to wipe
out the slight. The Irishmsn sugges-
ted that the two of them should each
draw card from pack, and the one
who drew the lowest was to 60 into an
adjoining room and blow his brains
out. The Frenchman demurred at
first, but finally fell in with the idea,
and the two opponents drew out the
cards, one of which was bound to car.
ry death in its wake. The Irishman
drew the lowest card, and with a
smile, he charged his revolver and be-
took himself off to a small snteroom
to complete the tragedy. Presently
a loud report rang out, and the white

anteroom, fully expecting to see the

later admitting for the first time
since the attacks made upon him
during the recent national campaign,
that his defeat for reelection was
certain All minor candidates have
either withdraw already or will get
out OF the race during the afternoon
so that the naming of Burton in the
party caucus will be but a formality.
The end OF the stirring campaign

the end was forecasted With the re-
turn from Augusta, Ga. yesterday OF
Wade H. Ellis. who had been sent

RICHMOND, Va. Dec s1-Prof-

the Great EIector and its Material
Rewards.

sian state" said Mr. Richardson. re
ligious federation was both a pollti-
cal and economic necessity. An
nexations OF territory and their as
simHation would have been impos-
sible without it; it alone rendered
feasible that policy OF inner coloniza-
tion which became in such abund-
ant measure the source OF the mater
ial power of the state through in
crease OF population and the develop
ment of agriculture. industry and
commerce. The total result was in
creased political power The adop-
ton or the Reformed creed by the
Electors is the decisive factor in this
evolution; for it alone insured the
employment OF permanence Of a toll
Grating policy. The Great Elector Is
the central figure, for he became the.
founder OF the toIerating state.
thereby securing for all time the pos
sibillty of the colonizing policy, and
he gave the Initial impetus to that
great movement"
The first part of the paper based
upon private correspondence and Of
fetal documents of various kinds, dis
cussed the fundamental principles of
the Great Electors ecclesiastical
polity at home and abroad, with par
ticular reference to the establish
ment of religious liberation and It's
relation 10 the Introduction of the
religiously oppressed as colonists.
The second part of the paper was de-
voted to the effect of inner colonial
ton upon population and the de-
velopnlent of political greatness. The
contrast between the tolerant policy
of Brandenburg and the intolerant
policy of Catholic Austria and Luther
an Saxony led through inner colon
ization. to dispropOrtionate in
crease OF the power OF their tolerant
rival. Historical development and
the development or inner colonial
ton follow the same line. Vital
statistics, comparing the relative
rates of increase OF population IA
Saxony, Hanover and Brandenburs=
Prussia. were cited to show This. The
concluding portion of the paper, bas-
ed upon unpublished manuscripts -
the Geheimes Stats Archive in Ber-
lin, dealt with littIe-known attempt
to introduce colonists from England
in 1915. Itself signal failure, q
yet illustrates coloHizing methods
and the nature OF the material re-
wards which we're expected to occur
from the colonizlnE process. The
affair presented also exceptional feat
ures; IL represented an attempt to
make inner colonization. through the
agency of English 'interlopers,' tribu-
tary to- foreign colonization, through
the establishment OF a Brandenburg
East India Company sympathy for
the oppressed was an unimportant
factor. and in the background SIMS
ter intrigue with the partisans of
Minmouth may be dimly seem
