When the present county committee
was organized they passed a rcso'u-
ton declaring that they thought
it was for the best Interest of the
Democratic party of the county that a
primary should not be held for at
least year from their date of organ
ization, or not earlier than May l, 1894.
We are informed that strong pressure
is being brought to bear upon some
members of that committee TO induce
them to change their minds. We
think we know the personel of the
committee well enough TO be very con
fident that any such attempt will be a
allure. We believe we voice the senti-
ments of nine-tenths of the Democrats
of the county when we express the
wish that they will strictly adhere to
to the resolution passed at their first
meeting.

The building in Washington for
merry known as Ford's Theater, in
which President Lincoln was assas-
sinated, was the scene of a disaster
Friday in which twenty-four men
employed as Government clerks were
crushed to death and fifty-two or
more were injured, many seriously.
The building was used by the Records
and Pension division of the War De-
partment, in which nearly 500 clerks
were employed. The first, second and
third floors in the front part Of the
building suddenly collapsed, burying
the clerks in the debris. Most of those
killed where dead when their bodies
were recovered. It is claimed that
the building had long been insecure,

knows the many peculiarties of this
hard-fghting game fish, and writes
so pleasantly of his experiences, that
one longs to HE away to rushing
stream and sparkling lake in quest of
bass. Many other attractive features

The second on the "Kings and
Queens of the Turf in Outing for
June, completes one of the most valua-
BILE works on the light harness horse

following the breeding, development
and notable performances of every
record-breaker, from the first appear
ance to Hambletonia's famous brown
son Dexter, down to the closing tri-
umphs of the phenomenal Kremlin
and Stamboul in 1892. The article is
illustrated from specially painted por-
traits of the "Kings, "and in addition
to being an accurate history of all
champion trotting stations, present
many new and interesting anecdotes of

The heavy mass dropped upon the

OTHER IMPORTANT MATTERS
WAsH4NeroN, d. c., June 10, 1893.

WAsHINeToN, ID. c., June -, 1898.
While President Cleveland and Sec
rotary Carlisle believe that the Sher-
man silver law is responsible for the
unsettled financial status, and that its
repeal is absolutely necessary for the
welfare and prosperity Of the country,
and that the failure of the extra ses-
sion of Congress, to be held in Sep
TENDER, to repeal itpromptly, will pre-
cipitate a financial panic; they are
not doing the slightest thing to force
any Senator or Representative to vote
for its repeal against his honest opin-
ion, nor will they; but they do ask
that every man, Congressman or pri-
vate individual, shall study this ques-
ton anew, not from the point of view
of last year or the year before, but
from the point of view of to-day,
with all the attendant circumstances
in the industrial, business and finan-
cial world, believing that such intel
ligent study of the question cannot
fail to result in practically unani-
nous vote for its repeal as soon as the
extra session of Congress gets together.
The practical operation of the Sher-
man law has shown it to be bad
law; that's why the President and the
Secretary of the Treasury wish it re-
pealed. .-.... ......
There is no truth in the sensational
rumor sent out from Washington
early this week, that the British Am

Orleans last month. The arrest has
been, in courteous note, brought to
the attention of the State Department
and an investigation. is now being

such fear. President Cleveland has
proven by his selection of postmaster
for New York City that he knows how
to select men who will be equally &C
ceptable and satisfactory to Tammany
and anti-Tamamny Democrats. Pres

this week and notice

that 1t would go into effect on the oath
of the present month. About the
only material difference between this
and reciprocity treatise we have with
other countries is that attempts against
the life of the head of either govern
ment or members of his family are
not classed as political offenses, but are
made extraditable crimes. Officials
here do not expect that the working
of the new treaty will bring about any
of the calamities so freely predicted
by those who are opposed to it.
