toward which the 'orny landed on this day
wend their way in countless thousands,
all bearing and wearing the modest little
pale yellow woodland flower, the great
mans favorite. From dawn to dewy eve,
they throng the purlieus of the grand old
abbey and the parliament house, aud
cluster like bees round the statue of their
friend. Before 8 o'clock the pedestal is
a posy of primroses, and during the dim
ner hour such an army swarms from all
quarters to houor him in this humble
way that by 2 o'clock the figure itself is
completely smothered in a yellow pyra-
mid. What is the reason of this annual
demonstration of esteem? Surely be-
cause the man they thus delight to honor
served his country well and would have
dlsdained 70 close the Indian mint, Grip
pie the trade of the world and ruin thous-
ands of mis- fellow citizens, with "a light
heart" and cynical composure, merely for
the sake of enriching his family connec-
tions. At the present day many deputa-
lions of natives come from the East In
dies to demonstrate on this day their re-
spect for the far, seeing man who made
jah and ryot absolutely equal before
the law, so that now it is impossible in
British India for any man, however
pompous, presumptuous and arrogant,
to fout the law and bring justice into
contempt by monstrous and vexatious
delays. And that is why Primrose day
hourishes in England.

LINING UP.

That was clever piece of newspaper
enterprise which prompted the New York
Evening Telegram to make inquiry of
the Democratic national committeeman
as to how they stood on presidential can
didates, issues and places for holding the
next Democratic national convention.
The returns are significant and may be
summed up thus: Stevenson, silver, Chi
cago; though as to issues leading Demo-
Gratis all over the country express de-
sire to see the contest for tariff reform
carried on in 1896 as earnestly as in the
past. As the Democratic presidential

leads by large majority, nine out of
fifteen of the national committeeman who
answer the question directly declaring
for him. This makes it more than ever
certain that Illinois 10 to be the battle
ground in the next campaign, and the
fact that nobody mentions Mr.. Cleveland
in connection with the place is also an
other straw indicating how thoroughly
the west is going to lead in '96.
On the Republican side the replies are
rather n surprise, for as whole the Re.
publican national committeeman and the
chairman of the Republican state and
territorial committees favor Mckinley as
the presidential candidate in 1896. The
figures are: Mckinley, ID; Harrison 4;
Reed, 4; Allison, q; Morton, /; Senator
Sherman, Il; Henry NJ. Teller, l. This

the BEEF INVESTIGATION.

The outcome of the Investigation
which the agricultural department. has
set on foot relative to the causes of the
beef famine will be awaited with very de-
cided interest by business men through
ont the west, particulr rly in view of the
many absurd theories the eastern anthori-
ties have advanced. The fact is, that,
crowded to the wall by the packers COM
bine, the cattle men long ago gave up
beef raising as hopeless job, hence the
present shortage. We have some curios-
ity to know whether or not the packers
will come in for a scoring at the hands
of the agricultural department.
