The propositions to purify the prima-
ries seem to hinge upon the abolish
ment of the polling syatem at the pre-
cincts and instituting therefor the
expression of each electors preference
by mail on postal card. Ths great
trouble to get the expression OF the best
element of each party at the primary
polls is from the fact that the best ele-
ment of each party will not tske the
trouble to 20 to those polls and cast its
vote. The primaries are therefore left
to the manipulation of those who are
always on the alert in politics, and the
roughs. The reform sought after can
eHly be attained by adopting some
method that will operate to bring out
the expression OF the best element of
the political organizations. Will the
men who now refuse to 60 to the prima-
ries to vote take the trouble to fill
out postal card ballot and mail it?
We doubtit. Then the question arises,
will the proposed method not be as sub
ject to abuse as the primary? The pri.

commends it. When the party ia

Mr.. ]. sLoAT FAssETT, chronic aepir-
ant to the governorship of the state of
New York, is visiting San Francisco,
probably with view of seeing what
support he can get for the vice presi-
dency in 1896, on the Republican
ticket. He has some relatives in that
city among what the late lamented Mr..
McEwsn would call "the predatory

position because the vice-president ap-
points the standing committees of the

| An uptown young man, who is fresh
to degree that surpasses endurance
and who persists in talking all the time
there is anybody in sight, went out for
the evening one night last week and
met girl from Boston.
Although the young man talks con-
tinually, he occasionally uses some very
bad grammar. One fault is particular
ly glazing. He invariably says: 81
done it" for II did It," and, as he is
continually talking about himself, he
makes this mistake many times in the
course of an hour.
He engaged the Boston girl in con-
versation and told her some fairy tale
about something or other that had hap
pened to him. When he got through
she expressed surprise that such thing
could happen, and asked him:
Did you really do ftp"
81 done it," replied the young man,
proudly.
Then he branched into another ro-
nance.

the. first. The girl from Boston lis
tened patiently, and, when he had fin
ished, politely exp ressed her great as

And until this day the young man
