| IHE PRIMARIES. SATURDAY. JUsr
srH'-The primary meetings of the De
n0Sracy Of Hickman and FaIton. for the
appointment Of delegates to the Moscow
O0n'ention on the 18th, occurs at the
'O"He places in the respective Magis-
'l"'es Districts, at 2 o'clock. on the eve
ping OF Saturday, June the 9lh-only a
h''ie over two weeks of. These meetings
~"' oe organized by the selection of a
chairman and Secretary, and the. voting
be conducted in such manner AS the
voters present may elect
II Is more than likely, that the names
ot Inherent favorites will be presented to
the precinct meetings asking for instruc-
tons to the delegates. This is clearly
right and admissible, AS it is equally so
thar they can send them without instruc-
tions II they so desire. The point to be
einemoered is that, the voters assembled
are the sovereign authority in all matters
pertaining to the Convention. Hence,
we nave alwayes held, that at the-very
threshold of these precinct meetings, n
motion to obtain the sense OF the voters
as to whether they desire nominating
convention at all or not, is admissible.
The party County Committees are only
the instruments for placing these ques
Ii'hs before the people in an organized
shape But, when "a precinct votes
sgslnst holding any convention, il should
none the less appoint its delegates, be
cause all the others, or a majority OF the
precincts, may vote favorable, aud it then
becomes the duty of the Objecting ami
minority districts, as good democrats, TO
yield to the will of the majority OF the
parry, and TO participate in the proceed
ingi Of the Convention
Ne beg those who have a favorite whom
tley desire to receive the nomination, tO
rsmember the day, and go to their voting
places aud pOte. If you stay at home, aud
some one other than your choice, is select
ed, who is TO blAme2 Not the voters
presen. who perferred some one else; but
ou, VINO stayed at home. The hour Of
the meetings, Saturday evening at 2 O.
clock, is as convenient as possible to the
farmers, and for one we would like TO see
full turn out at all the precincts. The
prevailing objection is that, few used
to public speaking, consume the time IN
speaking, aud thereby control and direct
these meetings. But, the most blatant,
loud-moutbed speech maker, can vote no
more than the humblest democrat present.
In truth, primary meetings are not the
places for speech making. and in our
opinion should not be INDUCED in no
more than necessary for the proper or
ganiIation OF the meeting. They are
rather places for rOhng, snd one democrat
stands upon equal footing with the other;
and any man has the right TO vote who
will abide the nomination. The people
can remedy these grievances, about
speech making, as few about tie towns
aud court houses controlling things, if
they wall turn out.

ed to power. But be has a pretty
wife, who controls him completely, and
who is a thoroughgoing Monarchist
The Mouarchists. aided by the cIeri
Gals, have accordingly set to work
upon the President through his better
half. They wanted to have Mon
archist Cabinet for the purpose of ma
nipulating the forthcoming elections
for the General Councils aud Munici
pal Councils 4 Cabinet headed by d
man like Jules Simon would have
managed to put representatives of re
publican principles into all the iDfu
eu'ial Offices throughout France. This
would certainly not sua either the
Right IN the Assembly, or the clerical
party, or the MOnarehi,ts at large
Therefore it IL that the Mouarchists
have forced Marshal MscM ahons hand
at this moment.
We see thus that France is It thi,
moment lsbOring under at least three
very fatal influences: the fear Of the
Germans, the fear OF the mob, anl the
iutrigues OF clericalism. Whethg or

TIE WAR.

The European situation.
In single handed contest between
Russia and Turkey, the former woulc

] not be copdnsi to these two natiops
Complications, instructions, iuterven
tions, aud outside interference will
now be in order. While there are re-
beIIious uprisings in some of the Tur
kish provinces, Russia is threatened
with a Caucasian rebellion in some oi
her southern provinces-where there
is a large Mohammedau elemeDt-and
there are some signs of trouble in Pc
land The Polish legion, if made up
at all, will be composed of Poles out
side of Poland. for the vigilance OF
the Russian policy is such, and the
punishment so severe, that no recruit
ing of any consequence can be carried
on within the ancient kingdom whose
wrongs fill one of the saddest pages in
history In any event the legion viii

men of Sobie-ki and Kosciusko are
splendid soldiers, and 10 a contest with
their hereditary enemy would die to
the last man rather than yield an inch
of ground.
In England there is no more excite
ment than anywhere else, except in
the countries Immediately engaged
The Gladstone resolutions have been
the means of drawing out the war and
auti-war parties. 1t is apparent how
ever from the speech of such pro
nouuced Liberal as Mr. Forster, that
if Russia should threaten Constantine
pie the triumph of the war party would
be immediate and overwhelming Aud
the belief that il will be threatened ia
rapidly growing.
The latest news from the seat of
war is SO conflicting that American
readers can determine but little as TO
the true facts. Que batch of dispatches
through Coustautiuople, gives victo
ries here and there to the Turks
while on the same day Russian dis
patches. claim the exact opposite.
One thing is certain the Russians
have not progressed as rapidly in the
demolition of Turkey, as general pre-
diction fixed at the inception of the
war. The battles which have been
fought have not been decisive, and Of
no great advantage TO either side. The
Russians have effected partially aud
temporary crossings of the Danube
river. but until they pass their whole
army over, no substantial victory need
be claimed
The complications of the European
powers rs to this war can not be
guessed at All are trying to keep
out OF it. aud yet the relations of al /
render it more than probably that all
will be engaged on the one side or

The main question about them may

There ia gold in the. Black Hills and Il

of the mines Isst year was, in round
numbers two aud half millions Of
dollars. A very competent CORES
pondent. predicts that this years yield
will reach. il it docs not pass, tweufy-
five millions. lu view OF the fact that
ore TO the estimated value of eight
thousand dollars is now in plain sight
in single tunnel and Ot the other
fact that improved mining machinery
is weekly going into the Hills, this
prediction cannot be pronounced ex~
travsgant Silver, too, has been dis-
covered in large quantities, and galena
(~niphuret OF lead) groupings are re-
ported in the same vicinity. 1t is
quite possible that other deposits Of
the precious metals, perhaps richer
than any of those now known, may
exist in the remoter parts oi this
strange region still awaiting explors.

about gli-teuing yellow mountains is
hardly "A solid enough basis for theory
let alone joint stock exploring com
pany.
But this Black Hills country, rich
as it is, is no country for the poor or
he epless people. aud We earnestly ad
wise all such people to stay away from
it. There are too many there already;
on that point there is concurrent aud
conclusive testimony. There can be
no doubt that the fact is bad enough,
aud that the immigration now pouring
into the Hills will only swell the ag-
gregate of disappointment and suffer
ing. Gold does not grow on the bushes;
! it does not even lie on the earth's sur
face ready to be picked up. 1t has to
be got out, as a rule, by lsborious aud
costly processes. Successful mining
takes time aud moneY-especially y
money. There Is field in the Black
! Hills now for capital seeking invest
meut-no field at all for labor seeking
employment, still less for labor seeking
sudden wealth and the emancipation
which wealth brings. All the known
paying ground in the Hills is already
taken up, and is held by the owners,
when they are willing to sell at all at
figures far above the pockets of the
great majority of immigrants. OF
course there have been, and will be.
exceptional instances of good luck
peuuiIess lads and tatterdemalion ne
groes have stumbled upon fortunes.
But these are the rare prizes in lot
terry full of blanks, aud in the nature
of thiugs, they ~ill be rarer this year
than last.
If it is folly for poor man to go to
tie Black Hills. it is sheer madness for
feeble or lazy poor man to 60 there
Capitalists aside, no one has any bust
