The EVENING HERALD,
Has larger circulation In Shenandoah than
any other paper published. Circu.
lRtion books open TO all.
FARO1OAL PRTMARIEs.
ALL THE NEWS FOR ONE oENT.

That the primaries held by the
Citizens party are nothing less than
farces was never more plainly demon
strated than during the present week.
They are political parodies and as long
as they are upheld just so long will
the rights and privileges of the
citizens remain cUrtailed. The pri-
mary held Tuesday evening was one
of the brilliant burlesques of the
season. The absurdity of the affair
was glaring and it is difficult to under
stand how any man of intelligence
can view the methods adopted at
such meetings with any degree of
satisfaction. 1t is certainly unreason-
able to expect that the intelligent
voters of ward will consider them
selves bound by the rulings of such
bodies. A calm and careful considera-
ton of such proceedings increases
disgust. The HERALD does not wish
to be understood as making any COM
plant against the ticket nominated
Tuesday night, or, in fact, any of the
tickets. The complaint is directed
against the system under which the
primaries of the Citizens party are
operated. Figures show the sbsurdity
of the system. Last spring Scheif1y,
the Independent candidate for Council
in the Second ward. polled 1873 votes
Neiswenter, the Citizens candidate,
polled 120, total of 253. No man OF
common sense will maintain that the
full Citizens party vote is represented
at the primaries of the party, yet we
find that 176 votes were polled at the
primary held Tuesday night. Stout
the candidate for Council against
Evans polled 12l votes at that primary,
but twelve short of the vote polled by
Schei1y, the independent candidate
for Council in last springs election,
and one more than the vote polled by
f. Neiswenter, the Citizens candidate.
No one will question that the Citizens
primary in the Second ward last year

The big deal made by the Philadelphia

Finney Talks.

John F. Finney, in conversation with a
HERALD reporter touching upon the Sec
ond ward primary, said, "The primary was
farce, but do not thiEk the candidates
nominated were responsible for it. The
ticket is a strong one and if the friends of
the candidates work half as hard at the
election as they did at the primary there
can be no doubt as to the result 1t is time
that radical change should be made in
the methods Of holding the Citizens pri-
maries. Any one can see that the present
methods are entirely wrong. l was in
favor of John II. Evans for councilman,
because he has always been friend of
mine and 1 regret that he was defeated, as
he did not deserve it. He is a good,
straightout Republican and will no doubt
support the ticket. He isnn,t the kind of a
man to sulk. So far as 1 am pers onally
concerned l believe that now is good time
to bury all animosities and for all to put
the shoulder to wheel and push the ticket
to success. Meanwhile let us get together
and devise some means VIII reby the Citi-
zens' primaries of the future can bo held in
a manner satisfactory to all concerned"

with the election of the first Democratic
Governor Pennsylvania had seen in many
wears This Democratic Governor was
Robert E Pattison, who had been Mr. Bar
rity's fellow student in the Office Of MI.
Cassidy In 1884 Mr. Harrity was dele
gate at-large to the Democratic National
Convention, being the youngest man ever
accorded that honor in Pennsylvania
Harrity's Record as Postmaster.
Following the election of Mr.. Cleveland
he was on the recommendation of Samuel
j. Randall, whose warm friend he was, ap-
pointed postmaster of Philadelphia and ac-
cepted the Office, temporarily abandoning
law practice which, since he engaged In
business Tor himself in 1886, had grown to
handsome proportions. AS postmaster MI.
Harrity showed himself to be a thorough
believer in the doctrine that to the victor
belong the spoils, and when his term of Of
fee ended he was the idol of the Pennsyl-
vania Democracy He returned to his law
practice in the spring of 1889, and also be-
came the head of the Philadelphia Trust
Company, but continued to take an active
part in politics.
In the summer of 1890 Mr.. Harrity exc
cuted one of those master strokes in politics
which show real genius. He saw that the
State election lay in the nomination of Pat
tiso1 for Governor His relations with
Pattison were not of the friendliest nature,
but this did not matter, and without warn
ing or consultation he announced himself as
the leader of the Pattison forces. He per-
sonally led the fight, and in the State Con-
vention held in Scranton won with ease,
though he was opposed by that veteran and
sagacous politician, William A. Wallace.
Pattison was elected and made Harrity his
Secretary of State.
Pattison Might Have Beaten Cleveland.
Harrity has been from the first the most
forceful factor in the administration OF his
chief The leadership of his party in Penn
sylvania, gained at the Scranton conven-
tion, he has also easily retained. Follow
ing the death of William L. Scott he was
chosen the Pennsylvania member of the
Democratic National Committee. At the
Pennsylvania State Convention last spring
he secured the election of Cleveland dele
CATION and the adoption Of the unit rule.
His success in this convention showed him
to be the most powerful Democrat in his
State.

METHODS OF THE coOLIE PEDDLERs

SHANGHAI, Aug. 30.-I find utter igno-
rance in the rural districts in China They
have no newspapers, no postal service and
no books. Their knowledge of geography
ends with the neighborhood in which they
live. They believe the world to be fat
They cannot understand the motives of the
missionary. A Chinaman came to the Rev
Mr.. Wilson at Hanknow and asked ysry
quizzically:
"Where YOU come from7"
"From America" answered the mis-
sionary.
"Where is Americs?"

1 don't believe 80 Chinamen In China,
outside of Pekin diplomatic circles, ever
heard about our new law excluding China
men from America They don't care any
thing about it. There is no patriotism in
China. If there were an invasion from
someone began to tread down his rice.
Lying Is an Accomplishment
There is no honesty among rural China
men. They all steal anything that they
can carry away without being seen. A
farmer never leaves a plow or noe in the
field. 1t would be stolen. Each man
guards his own property and it is a case Of
the Survival of the fttest." A Chinese
rural family usually consists of from twenty
to forty people, all related. The family
government is patriarchal A small family
would not dare to live isolated. In the big
cities murder and theft are about the only
crimes punished. Every Chinaman lies,
and the man who is the most skillful liar is
considered the best man. Punishment for
theft is made by locking a heavy wooden
collar around a man or womans neck, and
exposing them to the gaze of the people
