Some Of the snow bound passengers at one of
the depots near Utica were telling stories the
other day, and travelling man was relating his
experience in a country store in small town in

forenoon and had occasion to note the peculiar
tiles of the storekeeper who carried a general
stock, but a pretty small one. Every little
while customer would come into the store and
inquire for some article that the merchant did
not happen to have in stock. For INSTANCE:
Have you any dried beef, Mr.. Cashdrawer?"
mo, we have no dried beef to-day, but we
have some nice Goldfish. John, show this lady
the Goldfish.

Under the Dutch law, i: seems, the cap
tain of ship at sea has not the powers Of an
autocrat. Some time ago the firemen on
board the etherlands-American steamship
OLDHAM mutinied and left the fire room. A
storm was approaching. the fires were low.
and the captain urged the men to return to
work to save the ship. They became violent
and threatening, aud as a last resort the
captain was forced to shoot the riugleader.
For this he was tried recently In Amster-
dam and sentenced to one years. imprison.
ment. Had the tragedy occurred under the
British or American flag the captain would
have been acquitted probably, and voted a
gold medal

The Petition for a Primary.

The petition asking the chairman Of the
Democratic party OF this county to con-
slider the advisability of substituting the
primary for the mass meeting for arriving
at the wishes Of the party is a move IN the
right direction. 1t is evident that it
is impossible by means of mass meets
ing to obtain a fair expression of the
wishes of a majority of the party in q
county containing 30 large population as
this. There is no very large hall in the city,
and it is, therefore. a very easy matter for
faction of the party to take possession of
a mass meeting and dictate the party's
policy, although it may be only a small
minority.
1t Is evident that there is going to be quite
astruggle over the delegates to the approach
ing state convention. Let primary be or
dered. SO that there will be no doubt that the
will of the majority will be expressed in
their selection. Nobody can find fault with
primary. because it offers everybody a
chance to express his preference; but there
is certain to be q great deal OF dissatisfac-
ton if the delegates are chosen by a mass
meeting.
