In the primary election held last Sat
urday by the Populists of Grant parish,
to determine the question as to whether
they should make their nominations by
primary elections or conventions, the ad-
vocates of primaries carried the day by
majority of about 6 to 1. Only about
275 votes in all we're cast, the hill peo-
pie taking very little interest in the cleo
ton. The boys worked it fine on the old
fogy graybeards of the hill region, and
only allowed about 1O0'of their colored
contingent in the bottoms to vote. as
they had the thing fixed, and didn't need
any more. The kids are up to snuff in
these things, and from this time on we
hope the ancients will know better than
to oppose their youthful bosses.

fain imagine that fiat" makes money

Our present system of working the
roads is a perfect farce. About the only
remedy for the evil is to let out the vari-
Gus roads to contractors, and then hold
them responsible for their being kept in
good condition. True, this would require
each man to pay small tax to keep up
the roads, and many would howl about
few cents tax, although it would save
Chem days Of labor ON the roads.

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Therc is a
possibility of some delay in the open
ing of the Yankton Sioux reservation
in South Dakota for settlement. The
president has had draft of procla-
nation before him for approval for
same time, but does not seem inclined
to pass upon it, possibly be-
cause of the numerous protests that
have been received at the interior de.
partment relative to the opening of
the lands. Another matter that may
cause delay is the fact that number
of squatters are now on the lands and
it may require the use of force to eject
them.
The people Of the state are anxious
for the opening and inquiries by let
ter and kilograms are received asking
