TIE FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL p1sra1c.

TIE FIFTH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.
Tbs Republican Committee Of the Fifth
Congressional District of this State haro
lssued call, not for convention to nomi.
nate candidate, hut for a primary election,
at which the people shall rote directly for
the parsons whom they preter-the candi-
date receiving the highest number Of votes
to he declared the nominee.
In taking this action, tho committee
1isya Clearly exceeded their authority. 1t
would be competent for convention OF
the Republicans Of the Fifth District to
change the mode Of selecting candidates.
Il would be competent for them to dis
1cuse with conventions hereafter, and to
adopt the Crawford County systen,"
es it il called, of voting for can
tl:tlates at primary elections. But 1t is
No, competent for mere committee to
i2ke that step. Such a transaction is, in
party point Of view, revolutionary.
l, will probably be alleged, in justi6os-
tim of the call, that it is democratic
.nods of procedure, leaving the power in
the bands Of tie people, But, in reality,
j; is not 50, since it enables minority to
siect tbs candidate II, for instance,
tEero we're ten candidates voted for, and
little Of them ahould receive thousand
retcs each, while the tenth should receive
oI. ven hundred, the latter would secure tho
domination. although there would be ma
joHty OF mora than eight thousand against
him.

The Wonaan'4 journal raises the forcible
objection to the St. Louis mode Of. - reg1-
lating the Social evil that it is an ordi-
nance to render licentiousness safa, cheap,
secret, and easy to men, While the women
tire sadd1ed with the expense of maiutain-
ing the hospital, and the utmost publicity
is given to their names, persons, and occu-
patton, the men are encouraged to patro-
,.ize these licensed houses by the promise
of Immunity from punishment and safety
from disease. The Homan's Journal draws
from this illustration the inference
that there will never be
any just wise, or impartial
legislation concerning sexual questions un-
til both so1cs vote and participate in franz
ing the laws. The journal does not, how
ever, inform ua what kind Of law the
coming woman would propose. We are iu-
clined to concur with It, in the belief that
Just legislation on such question will
never bc had until both parties are repre-
sented. But discussion il alike open to
10th parties, and wo believe most men
would be glad to hear what kind Of law
women would frame for the reform OF nit
igation Of tho social owl. There are plenty
If lawyers among the women. Let them
draft their bill, and we promise them, if it
is good one, to support it.

RECIPROCITY OF TRADE,

Occasionally local Republican Conreu~

worst specimen that has lately commanded
apy notice is tho subioined, which was
drawn BIZ an Ohio momber Of Congress
named John L. Smith, The first resolu-
tion declares for "a revenue tariff with in-
cidental protection. and. the second is as
follows:

We were right in aupposing that the
high tatifites could not n1nrd to accept the
dec1ination of General Schenck. He had
served them too faithfully and well to be
abandoned now. So he is again on the
trnck, for the fifth consecutive term. But
he will need all their aid to be elected. The
delegates from two Of tho four counties Of
his district, Butler and Preble refused
to join in his denomination but
the other two counties, Montgomery aud
Warren, being a majority Of delegates,
forced him on the ticket. The majority by
which he vas elected in 1868, does not e1-
hibit any very astteriug assurance OF sue
cess. In 1909, he beat Vallandigham ], o57
votes in 1864, he beat David A. Hank
2,7GG in 1sG6 he bent Durbin Ward l, OCT,
aud in 1868, with Presidential ,}urore to
help him, he was elected over Vallandig-
ham, the most unpopular man in the dis
tsict, by only 475, in vote Of more than
$1,000.
unIeas the Democrats put up yallandig-
ham again, the probability is that Schenck
will be beaten this fall. His tariff record
is only one degree less outrageous than
FallandiEham'H war record.
