A GOOD SYSTEM TO ABOLISH.

fanything were wanted 10 convince in
telligent and fair-minded men of both po-
litical parties that the delegate system Of
holding primaries is a very good system to
abolish, the proceeding of the Northside
Conventions of Tuesday would serve ad-
mirably and conclusiyely TOR that purpose.
There was a time when the law cast no pro-
lection over party primaries. but even then
the chances for trickery and sharp practice
by the delegate plan were improved so
picturesquely that what was known as the
Crawford couRty system came to be widely
adopted. But the unblushing frauds which
were possible in direct voting. when the law
affixed no penalties for any sort of dishonesty
at the primari gave color to q demand
for restoration OF the delegate" method.
What startling surprises and what charges,
true or false, of fraud, jobbery, bad faith,
and such things can grow out of delegate
conventions found some shining illustrations
in the outcome of Tuesdays proceedings on
the Northside.
Since the Legislature took cognizance of
party primaries and made frauds therest
duly pu nishable, there is no reason whatso-
ever why the direct vote of the people
shou i'd not be counted for the candidates.
Neither convenience, nor good sense, nor
anv other desirable end is in the slightest
degree promoted by having the nominations
made by proxy through delegates, against
some of whom, in the case of every
close contest, there are sure to be charges of
fraud or disgraceful bargaining. Over the
organization o: these delegate conventions
there is usually a sort of struggle which
brings neither dignity nor respect to the
party or to the candidate; and the instances
of "splits. "rows" and ''bolts" are too nu-
merous to be remembered.
Everyone knows that the people in both
parties would take more interest in contests
at primaries, and would be more likely to
go to the polls, if there was the certainty
that their ballot would count directly as
cast. The political managers might have less
scope for their ability in making states and
getting up combinations: but in the interests
of fair and spirited contests they might
WELD point 1t will not take many such
outbursts as have followed the Northside
to impress upon the public that
the delegate system is good one to dispense
with altogether.

THE TRACTION CASE ENDED.

The Supreme Court promptly decided the
dispute between the Duquesne and Fifth
avenue traction companies yesterday, dis
missing the appeal at the close of the argu-
ment. This affirms Judge Whites decision
that Councils, in granting street railway
franchises, have not onlv the option to ac-
cept or reject the first company chartered to
run over given street, but has the further
right to choose between different companies
competing for the same route. As was said
in connection with the decision in the lower
court, this is obviously the view that best
conserves the public interests. To suppose
that a company can occupy all the streets
and shut out competitors with paper roads,
would be to take a view under which all
progress could be blocked and the improve
uent of transit made impossible.

PROBLEMS AT HARVARD.

They are talking about cutting down the
length of tine Harvard College course.
President Elliott is in favor of radical re-
duction of the term from four to three years,
but compromise arrangement is likely to
be adopted by which man, by very hard
work, may obtain his A. B. degree upon
the completion OF sixteen courses, which is
equivalent to three years at the University.
The question has not yet been passed upon
by the Board of Overseers, and there is
strong opposition to the proposed reduction.
Some Harvard students have chosen this
moment to demonstrate to the faculty and
the country at large that as far as they are
concerned the academic course might be
shortened without the slightest injury to
anyone. The youths who literally painted
Harvard red, running the statue of the
founder of the university few days ago,
certainly might be excused from further at
tendance with advantage to the college at
all events. A snort course in the peniten-
tiary would be better for them: three years
would be sufficient probably. If baseball,
running, boat racing and football are
to be the principal objects of the
academic course, we do not see why
one year would not be long enough to unfit
a young man for honest work OF any sort.
Perhaps the faculty and the Board of Over

He Wasn't a Copperhead.

To the Editor OF The Dispatch
Will you permit me through the columns Of
your paper to reply to the interview published
by you from one Major w. Q. German, of Bir-
mingham, Ala, in your issue of May, II.
Major German made statement about one
Senator Huffman Of Aurora, Ind, whom he
says he commissioned as a major general In
the Confederate service after he had organized
three regiments for the Confederate service.
Senator Huffman (my father) had two brothers
in the Union army, one whose bones now lay in
the Andersonville prison yard. He had three
sons in the Union army, the two oldest and the
youngest (myself) who left school at the age of
16 to join the army. Ny father was too old to
go into the service but he organized a COM
pany OF home guards composed of both political
parties, and was ready at all times to defend
the lives and property of himself and neigh
bors. He went to indianapolis and drilled un-
der instructions Of the State for two weeks.
Does any sane man believe that he would work
against his own interest against his brothers.
against his sons who were out on the tented
field battling for the Union?
Without going into further detail, If Major
German, as he styles himself, will come to
Aurora and make affidavit to his statement
will insure him more money than he collected
to equip those three regiments which he says
my father raised. The facts in the case are,
Major German never met my father during the
war or since, and If he seeks to make political
capital out of his statement he will fail.
If you desire to do justice to an old man and
his three soldier sons, you will give this place
in your paper. +. HOMER HUFFMAN.

MORE MELODRAMATIC POLITICS.

As if the good people across the river were
not already sufficiently torn up over the con-
ventions OF Tuesday, another political stir
was made yesterday BY nothing less than the
arrest of Allegheny's Mayor on charge Of
perjury. Pending hearing and the pro-
duction of evidence of course nothing can
fairly be predicated of the merits of this
case. Considering the latitude which many
candidates are suspected of taking, in the
ways and means of convincing voters, 1t is
rather in the nature of a surprise when one
is called to answer on a charge of perjury
in omitting to remember such transactions
when taking the oath of Office. However,
where charges of this sort are sustained, the
courts will not fail to treat the constitu-
tional requirement protecting elections as a
very stern reality,
For melodramatic politics Allegheny is
certainly taking the palm these days. Ad-
mission free and bills changed at every per-
formance.

MIGHT RECONSIDER TO ADVANTAGE

MIGHT RECONSIDER TO ADVANTAGE.
The continued and unmistakable evil
denees OF dissatisfaction at the manner of
Tuesdays convention not unlikely NAV in
duce Colonel Stone to reconsider that deter
mination which he is reported as having ex-
pressed at Harrisburg yesterday of staying
on the track for Congress. ,Assuredly if
the protesting citizens of the district keep to
their present attitude and continue to make
themselves heard loudly enough the Colonel's
experience from now until November
would not be particularly inspiriting. The
result then, with possibly an independent
candidate, and certainly Democrat, in the
field, can be imagined. On as little provo
cation Bayne was beaten by Cochrane in
1874
In all the severe comment on the mode of
of proceedings of Tuesday, Colonel Stone
has so far been recognized as man who
would have made very excellent candi-
date had be come by the nomination in the
usual way. The contention is simply that
he is in no sense the nominee of the voters
at the primaries, and that the sudden
springing of his name was simply part of a
programme whose object included total
deception of the thousands of voters who
went to the polls and who were led to be-
lieve that they were voting simply as be-
tween Bayne and Shiras. This is indisputa-
bic.
The outcome of the business depends solely
upon the earnestness with which the pro-
testants chose to press their case. They
have the best of it under the rules As sug-
gested yesterday, it is not improbable, as
things look, that Colonel Stones best chance
of getting to Congress will be by handing
back" the irregular nomination, and sub
mitting his claims fairly and fully to pop
ular vote. The best friends of the Colonel
cannot regard the expression of opinion so
lar as a wildly enthusiastic reception of the
news of his nomination.
