THE PRIMARY QUESTION.

The Democratic executive committee
will meet some time within the next
week a. the call of the chairman. A
careful canvass of the committee reveals
the fact that it stands ten to five in favor
of conservative party action. 1t will be
scrupulously careful that nothing is
done to ALLEVIATE the hundreds Of now
voters who will act with the party if it
is broad and liberal. 1t is in favor of
primaries only when the absolute neces-
sity for primaries is demonstrated
On this matter there will have to be
considerable delay. In the first place
the action of the Democratic State com :
mittee should be awaited. Delegates
to the State convention are to be chosen,
and either primaries or mas ,-meeting
will be necessary to choose them.
In the second place the now registra-
ton will not be completed until the
first of May and no primaries can be
held fairly without a completed regis
tration to use as guide.
When May comes, it may be clear to
all that, as large percentage of the
party now believes, no primaries on To-
cal Offices will be necessary and that to
hold them will be serious injury to
the party

terested in the coal deal. be added, the
advance on 1881. 273,6y7 of bonds and
stocks reached $40, S41 ,654. A fortnight
has made the owners of these securities,
who do not number over %. 900. feel richer
by a round $50. 600, 600.
This advance is u sixth of the recent
value in the case of the coalers most
nearly interested, n seventh in the case of
the entire group of roads involved in this
tremendous Grange of competitive con-
ditions. Taking the Stock Exchange for
just what it is-a rude but summary
measure of the general opinion OF the
community on the value of railroad
securities-this advance is fully justified.
The great majority of rational people I'M
doubtedly feel that the anthracite roads
are worth from 16 To 20 per cent. more
than they were before this great combina-
ton was formed. With the Reading
common stock it is confidently expected
that the amalgamation will convert 1t

To go out of doors in rough weather is not

face rough weather frequently. Diseases which

shown in the deadly form of .'la grippe;'' it pro-

CLUB GOSSIP.

When the Arions propose an entertain
ment they make little fuss about it.. 1t is
a fun loving organization. but only such
fun as that in which their families can
participate with mutual, social. physical
and mental profit, is allowed. Cultivation
of voice n honest national inspiration
of sentiment are prime objects of their
association. They believe in song and
laughter, yet their songs are mainly the
climax of digniied poetry. The society
embraces many prominent manufactur-
ers and merchants, lawyers and other
little for politics, and vote only as
they think they should vote when
the interests of good government
are at stake. The society gives
many social entertainments every year.
Next Saturday evening the annual mas
Querade. which many consider the great
social event of the year. will take place at
Chairman of the Committee of Arrange
ments. On Sunday week next a theatre
cal performance will be given in the
Arion's own hall. There is considerable
latent dramatic talent in the society, and
the knowing ones are endeavorinG to
bring this to the surface.
1t seems as natural for a Teuton to
bowl as for a duck to take to the water.
Way back to the days of Hudson and RIP
Van Wrinkle it appears that bowling was
at least, a favorite Dutch pastime. And
it isn't surprising that the Germans of
the present day are equally as fond of the
sport. The Arions have several well
trained clubs who meet on various nights
of the week and some of the lady Arions
are as proficient as their lords in hand.

nights, however. any of the members

though the hammerer undertook to
drive his toenails in. And why
shouldn't q dead man maintain q
supreme indifference? What else
could he maintain, in fact?
But why didn't the reporter go out
and put pstop to the gallows building
businessyG What was the good OF
putting up such a structure for
a mar already dead? Hanging
couldn't have much effect on a dead
man. 1t couldn't kill him any moro
thoroughly. and as a means OF resus-
citation strangulation has never been
regarded as a success.
Then two other reporters tried to
talk with the dead man, but he waved
them away. The fact that they went
shows that they didn't know their
business.
Mr.. Peshall has made it tolerably
clear that Hallinger's waivers are no
good.

Adverse criticism Is bound of course to
Werts to the bench of the Supreme Court.
Governor Albeit has named hims as the
successor Of Judge Knapp, and our Re-

things. In politics we must expect that
politics will be observed. and if the Gov

occasion for condemnation? Senator
Werts is an able man, and a good lawyer.
We have every reason to expect him to
