Primary Elections are a Farce.
The evils of the primary election
system were plainly shown in the late
campaign in this district, and the
pitiful shirt-tail full of votes cast on
election day shows how the people as
a mass tire of constant trotting to
the polls. Ours is a government by
representation, and the great body
OF the people prefer to follow out tins
principle in their primaries. Give us
the convention method every time.
Primaries are the hobby of the dema-
gogue and trickster, and are twice as
easily controlled by them as would be
any representative body assembled
in convention.

1t is the general consensus of opin-
ron that Rapides needs anew jail and
needs it badly. The present make
shift is not only insecure, but is un-
fitted for the confinement of animals,
much less human beings. If the pres
emit Police Jury cannot belinduced to
contract for a modern jail, suited to
the necessities of a large and wealthy
parish, then the people must take the
matter in their own hands and elect
a Police Jury who will not ignore
their wishes.-Alexandria Democrat.

WHAT STONES HEIRS CONTEND.

A friendly bill in hich The heirs-at-
law OF George Stone, the heirs OF Fam
ME Northrup, Mrs. Mary +. Battey
formerly Mary Stone) and the admin
istrator of the estate of George Stone
are parties, was heard by the Appellate
Court today. The object of the bill is
to secure an Interpretation of a certain
clause in the will of Ann Eliza Steere
The latter died on November IL, 1892,
in the county of Los Angeles, Califor-
MIA, leaving a last will and testament,
which has been duly admitted TO pro-
bate by the Probate Court of the state
of California.
At the time of her decease Ann Eliza
Steere was the owner OF certain real
estate in this city. and in the fourth
clause OF her will she directs the ex-
ecutors to sell said property in man.
ner following: II direct my executor.
as soon as practicable after my death,
TO sell that certain real property in the
city of Providence, state of Rhode ISL
and known as the 'Steere homestead,
situated on the corner of Eddy and
Haswell streets. said property having
John Steere, now deceased, and after
paying the expenses Of such sale, 10
distribute the remaining proceeds
thereof as follows: Two-fifths thereof
to my cousin. Mrs. Emily A. Holder,
wife of William A. Holder. who resides
at Providence, i'm said state of Rhodi I
Island: the balance 10 be divided
equally among my cousins, Geo. Stone
and his wife, Mary Stone. who reside
at said Providence. and my friend Fam
NY Northrup. wife of Samuel Northrup
who resides at Plainville. in the state
of Massachusetts"
The property referred to having been
sold, the proceeds remain in the hands
of the executors pending the interpreta-
ton Of the court.
The heirs of George Stone contend
that the three-fifths of the balance in
question should be equally divided be-
tween George Stone. Mary Stone and
Fannie Northrup. The reference to
Mary Stone in the will is claimed not a
matter of identification in this case or
description. but puts her on an equal
footing with George Stone and Fannie
Northrup for the purposes of this di-
vision.
The heirs-at-law contend that this is
a gift of real estate instead of personal
property. and that the interest of Geo.
stone. although ii vested at the time of
his death, should be distributed as
though IL was real estate.
Cooke & Angel and Farnell d Far
nell are the attorneys in the case.

At the Elmwood Temple last evening.
Rev. T.. Tallmadge Root preached on
Isaiah. or the Statesmanship Of Faith
What Would He Say About Imperial

quite exhaustively, and in substance
said:
when the other nations fell beneath
the power of the Assyrians Isaiah be-
came the prime minister. Many of the
people sought to have Jerusalem ally
itself with Egypt against Assyria. But
Hezekiah. the king, followed Isaiah's
policy. Finally, however, he listened to
the people. and Joined Egypt Then the
Assyrians conquered everything before
them; their armies took AZ cities and
shut Hezekiah up in Jerusalem like
bird Now everybody turned TO the one
man who alone could advise them.
Isaiah. Confidently the armies of the
Assyrians advanced. But in a swampy,
malarial region the hosts were stricken
with a great plague and were overcome:
Though we do not face any national
crisis today, we face a changing point
in our history. on the one hand, we
must conquer. like England, all the
land we can get-be Assyrians. On the
other hand, we are told by the weak
stay-at-homes to forget all outside our
own confines. This is Egypt But If God
calls you to take up Porto Rico, Hawall
and the Philippines, do your duty! But
this takes craftsmanship. You must
bring out all your qualities Of strength,
and he who overcomes himself is
strong. Ally yourself neither with
Egype nor Assyria but believe in GOD,
and do whatever He sets before you
