The political event of the week
abroad has been the manifesto of
Prince Napoleon, ("Plon-P lon,"
which was posted throughout France

The only effect of the document was
the prompt arrest Of the prince and

REGULATING THEpRImARIts

Several bills have been introduced
In the legislature which have for their
object the prevention Of frauds at pri'
mary elections. Two years ago THE
BEE strongly urged the subject upon
the la,t legislature and a measure OF
similar tenor to those now proposed
was introduced 10 the senate by Gen.
eral Van Wyck. Owing to the ener'
petic Efforts of several Interested par
ties it never became a law. The pres
emit Legislature owes it to the people Ct
Nebraska to pass some measure which
will be adequate to deal with
the evils of the primary. In

ment.
The primary election is the fountain
head CT our political system. 1t Sc
lects the members of our conventions
which formulate the party principles
and nominate the candidates for pop.
ular support. As long as party lines
bind tightly together the members OF
a political organization, the party will
generally approve the results Of the
primary, however obtained. For this
very reason II Ia oil the more impor.
tant that the primaries should
be taken from the hands
Of the political thugs and

their swishes. Ohio has n law reg

In successful operation for several
years. Its provisions were fully dis

THE Kansas CITY Journal NAL

THE Kansas City Journal makes
merry at the expense Of our pumer-
GUS senatorial candidates. 1t says:
A great many patriotic Americans
are offering themselves as sacrifices In
various parts of the country. In
Michigan fourteen Of these patriots
have allowed their names to be used
In the senatorial contest. For patriots,
however, Nebraska heads the list,
with twenty. nine candidates and q
dozen dark horses. When the ardu.
duties of the office of United Stotes
senator are considered, every true
lover Of liberty must feel lifted up with
pride at this unusual spirit OF sacrifice.

when the republic can be endangered,
with a United States senatorial as.
pirant on every section of land. Such
examples will induce every youth in
the nation to go to the senate, if called
upon to sacrifice himself. We almost

The nucleus around which the votes
of the coming senator are to cluster,

Of the gentlemen who are selling high

that Is, that the anti-monopoly repub-
licans, the anti-monopolists and a ma
