When Shall the Primary Be HeldP

In the resolution adopted by the county
democratic executive committee Tuesday
night it is virtually admitted that it is
the right of the chairman of the commit
tee to fix the time for the democratic
voters of the several districts of the
county to choose new executive com
mittee He may name June as the date
for electing the new committee, in &C
cordance with the request embodied IN
the resolution. There does not now ap-
pear to be any reason why he should not
He did not call the executive committee
to meet on Monday night as requested
last Saturday, because business demand
ed his presence elsewhere, aud it may
be that he thought it made very little
difference whether the committee was
called together this week or next. The
registration is not yet closed, and the
new committee may not consider it ad-
visable to hold the primary before the
middle or latter part of June. If there
are to be two primaries, one to select
delegates to the state convention and the
other to nominate legislative candidates
and name delegates to the sena-
torial and congressional conventions,
it would seem to be advisable to hold one
of them early in June, but if there is to
be only one primary, at which nomina-
tions are to be made and delegates to be
chosen, the primary should be held at a
later time.
There is considerable expense attend
ing the primaries and it is difficult to get
out a full vote. If one primary could be
made to answer all demands, we are con
tident that the great majority of the
voters would be better satisfied to have
one primary than two.

A sportsman IS man who loves sport IN its
truest sense. At least I so consider it. He is
man who ENJOYS hunting, fishing. camping
out, and is cOmmo lly fond of other athletic
amusements in the way. Of boating, swim
ming, riding and the like, He is pardon my
opinion, apt TO be man OF gentlemanly in
stlncts and brains. A sporting man is an en-
tirely different sort OF fellow. He is one
who takes an interest in sports of different
sorts. although he may not engage in any of
them at all. He probably plays the races,
drinks hard. takes in all the prizeHghts and
nothing else on hand playing cards and
whOopDg things up. But sport is on a still
lower scale. He is fellow who thinks he s

VIII It Not Benefit the Ports ?

1t seems to US that the decision of the
I United States circuit court Of appeals
at New Orleans in the case of
the interstate commerce commission
I against the Cincinnati, New Orleans
and Texas railway, reported in our
dispatches yesterday, is one in which
the South Atlantic ports are deeply
interested. The decision in effect enforces
the long and short haul clause of the inter
state commerce act. The railroad that is
the defendant in the case charged more
for hauling a certain class Of freight to
Social Circle, Ca, than to Augusta, Ga,
Augusta being a greater distance than
Social Circle
The purport Of the decision is that in
terstaJe roads will not be permitted TO
charge a higher rate Of freight for
short than for a long haul. For instance,
the roads leading from western points to
the South Atlantic ports will not be
allowed to charge a higher rate of freight
to intermediate points than to the termi-
nal points. Our understanding is
that the steamship lines now make the
rates from the west to the South
Atlantic ports, and the railroads
meet those rates at the ports, but from the
west to interior points the rail rates are
higher As an illustration the rail rates
from western points to places between
Savannah and Macon are the same as
the rates TO Savannah with the rates
from Savannah to those points added.
The question which presents itself is
this: VIII the railroads maintain their
rates from the west to the interior
points by raising their rates at the ports,
thus giving up the through business at
the terminal points TO the steamship
companies, and getting their local rates
for distributing to points in the vicinity
of the ports, or will they reduce their
rates from the west to interior points, so
that at no interior point will the rates
be above the rates at the ports'
No doubt they will adopt the course that
will pay them the best. If they should
raise their rates to the ports the business
of the ports would be largely increased
The ports would become distributing
points to a much greater extent than at
present. A great deal of the grain, meat
and -four that is now brought from the
west to interior points would come to the
ports by water, and be distributed from
there. This would help business at the
what action the railroads will take in
respect to the decision unless there is an
appeal from it.

A Moral Railroad Necessity.

Party Harmony Necessary.

The admirable letter of Senator
Walthan of Mississippi, in which he
deprecates and frowns upon attempts TO
create dissensions and divisions in the
ranks Of the democracy of the south on the
/ financial question will have an excellent
effect. II is in harmony with the resolu-
tions adopted by the state democratic
I conventions of Alabama and Missouri
I indorsing Mr. Clevelands administra-
! tion. IL is a strong plea for party unity
| and points out the folly of democrats
dividing into administration and anti-ad-
ministration factions.
/ The vital interests Of the south require
that the Democratic party should remain
in control in every southern state. With
a solid democratic delegation in congress
the south is in position to have all
of her interests cared for,
and, besides, democratic rule in
the southern states means good govern
ment and good schools. and encourages
immigration and the investment of CAPT
tai. The success of populism in Alabama
for instance, under the leadership of
Capt. Kolb, would arrest progress in that
state Just as it has in Kansas. Even in
South Carolina, where populist doctrines
have received Endorsement, there are
grave fears that prosperity will be
checked.
II is gratifying that Mr.. Cleveland's ad-
ministration is being so generally in
dorsed in Georgia. The great majority of
the counties that have thus far elected
delegates to the state democratic conven-
tion have heartily commended him and
his administration. OF the counties that
acted last week only one, so far as we
have heard, condemned the ad-
ministratiou, and that one was
in the congressional district in which
Mr.. Watson lives. Three fourths of the
counties, and perhaps a larger proper
tion, will send delegates to the conven-
tion prepared to indorse the administra-
tion in the strongest terms.
Georgia democrats understand that Mr.
Cleveland has done his utmost to carry
out the pledges of the national demo-
cratic platform. They recognize in him
| the leader who has twice led the democ-
racy to victory and whose purpose is to
so guide the party as to keep it in control
of the government.
He is the head of the Democratic party
and the party could make no greater mis-
take than to refuse to give him hearty
support. Attacks upon him from within
the ranks for any cause could have no
other effect than to weaken the party and
lessen its ability to cope with its political
enemies. Those democrats who do not
agree with the financial policy of the ad-
ministration do the party great harm by
attacking the administration, and do not
advance the cause they advocate. They
simply lend a helping hand to the political
enemies of the democracy. The hearty
manner in which the democrats of Geor-
gia are commencing the administration is
a safe indication that they do not intend
TO have any dissensions in their ranks.

The proposed trip of Ra bbi Krauskopf
to st, Petersburg to plead with the Car
on behalf of the Jews in Russia, to which
reference was made in the MORNING
News yesterday, has already become
matter of diplomatic correspondence be-
tween Secretary Gresham and the Rus
sian foreign office, and will shortly be
brought before congress. Rabbi Kraus-
kopf, who is one of the most prominent
Hebrews in Philadelphia. knowing the
strong prejudice in Russia against his
race, wisely had a conference with Secre
tary Gresham on the subject, and another
conference, at which Representative
Straus was present, with President CIeve-
land. As result of tine conferences Sec
Rotary Gresham cabled the Russian gov
eminent to know if Rabbi Krauskopf
would be allowed to enter the empire
The Russians, it is understood, replied in
the negative Representative Rayner, of
Maryland, will report the matter to the
House, with resolution declaring that
in so refusing entry to a citizen of the
United States, Russia has violated her
treaty, which gives citizens of this country
the right TO enter, soiourn and travel in
Russia the same as Russian citizens are
permitted to do in this country. The res
olution will direct the state department
to make demand on Russia for full OBJ
seryance of the treaty.
