"The state papers, says the com.

on one question of great import
ance. They are all agreed that
the primary election plan of making
nominations should be adopted.
"When the state committee meets
to determine the method of making
nominations, and the time for max
ing them, it will doubtless decide
upon this method. 1t should de-
eide also that only registered, quail
lft d voters, pledged to support
the nominees, may take part in the
primaries. II IS bad policy to per-
nit persons to vote at primaries
" ho do not prize rights of suffrage
sufficiently to pay taxes and regis
ter. Such persons could not help
elect nominees, and they should not
be permitted to take part in the
nominations. 1t would also be
very unjust to citizens qualified to
vote, and candidates qualified to
vote, to permit those not qualified
to vote to take part in nominations,
and in many instances control
them. In many counties the non
voters would control the nomina-
ton, and they would have a good
chance 10 nominate the candidates
for governor and other officers. j.

the lava descends Vesuvius very slowly,

that is, if England undertakes to occupy
the disputed territory in Venezuela be-
fore a court of arbitration has passed
upon her claim, the United States will
fight.
This dispatch will be sent immedi-
