RICHMOND PRIMARIES.

The Dispatch Is inclined to think that

wisely In determining not to elect dele
gates to the State Democratic Convention
at the municipal primary. OF course.
there would be some saving Of trouble
to the committee, and some saving OF
time to the voter II all of the work could
is certain that in that case the making
of nominations would absorb attention to
the exclusion Of the matter Of electing
delegates. AS now arranged primary
will be held on April 30th when munich
pal nominations will be made (and when
the battle for good government will be
ioined), and at later day special pri-
mary will be held for the election Of dele
gates.
We conclude that a second primary will
be held, because ward meetings would
not give satisfaction. and what the City
Democratic Committee doubtless wishes
to do Ii to please the great mass OF
our voters In all Of the plans that the
committee makes. A third primary will
be necessary late IN the summer to elect
delegates to convention to nominate a
candidate for Congress. and. we believe.
to choose members OF a new City Com
mittee.

Convention Necessary" The Gazette
does not think Il r.. but. In q spirit Oh
most commendable frankness and fair
mans. II admits that there IL great di-
versity OF opinion on the subject Before
proceeding to advance It's own arguments,

such a convention. but. on the contrsry'
think that IL is wholly unnecessary.
Continuing. the Gazette says this diver
sity OF opinion Is not connned I"
any particular locality. but exists among
leading men all over the State.
Our contemporary. while favoring re-
trenchment and reform In every case,
where these are possible. without deri-
ment to the public service. does not De-
Iieve that a convention would result IN
materially iessenlng the public burden
and questions whether several OF the pro-
posed changes In the Constitution wouio
not be very ill-advised. 1t Is strenuousiy
opposed to THE proposition" to abolish
the county-court system. Among its
other arguments against this proposition
"a the following: 1.-THE Virginian who
cannot say, 4 viii meet you at court
either to settle difficulty or debt, will
feel that he is no longer Virginian.'
Upon one who is not Virginian This
may produce the impression that the Ga
zette IS somewhat inclined to be humor-

serious, and in earnest What is more

rect the evil complained OF we 90 mol
knew what II is. II has long posed as
the f4iend OF the workingman, but great
schemes Of public Improvement which
would employ hundreds OF workmen nave
been made utterly impossible by reason
OF the fact that city bonds which should
have been sold for betterments upon the
municipal property have been sold 10
make up annual deficits.
The people Of Richmond ought to see
now that Richmond's present business
methods will not do. They ought to see
that n we persist in pursuing the policy
OF selling bonds to meet deficits In cur
rent revenue we shall never have bet
ter streets; never be able to beautify our
parks; never be able to enlarge our water
supply.
Every workingman IS interested In
stopping this misuse OF bonds, because,
II the bonds were used as they ought to
be, they would give him employment.
whereas II they are sold TO pay off cur
rent charges he gets no good at all out
OF them. Never shall we be able TO make
the great public improvements that Rich
mond needs until we have elected a City
Council which will compel the city to
live within Its income. Then all the
bonds issued will be issued for better
ments. Then the value OF Richmcnd's
property Will be increased. Then there
will be work for hundreds OF skilled me-
chanics and laborers to do. Then Rich
mond will no longer be spoken OF as
city of great natural beauty and Won
derful possibilities. but OF rough streets
and half-kept parks. And this is how the
OF Richmond are interested
in having city bonds used for better
ments instead OF allowing the bonds TO
be sold to pay of charges that ought to
be met out OF current revenues.

Russia is inclined to criticise her friend,
France. for refusing TO consent to the
use of a part of the Egyptian reserve
fund for the payment Of the expenses
OF the Dongola expedition. One Of the
of,icially-inspired st. Petersburg journals
says Frances refusal was wrong policy,
"as It tempted the danger Of highlands
making q conquest of the Soudan for
herself with her own money, whereas, If
It we're carried out with Egyptian money.
the conquest must be effected for Egypt"
This suggests distinction without diff
ference. Whether In the reconquest Of
the soudan the expenses are paid with
British money or with money saved to
Egypt by British administration OF Egyp-
tan affairs. Great Britain will domi-
nate the Soudan.

The Baltimore Sun says Of the Illinois
law to punish bank officers who receive
deposits knowing the bank to be broken.
that It does not propose to punish one
man for the act Of another. but It does
assume that when an officer OF a bank
knows that the institution has been
wrecked. he cannot honestly take the
money OF depositor and throw It into
the wreckage.
How is the bank officer to know that
a bank Is insolyentf How many OF the
officers Of any given bank have the In
