Democrats, Brave and True.

The meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee to can vass the returns of the primary election of June 18th afforded many opportunities for sore test of mans Democracy.
 One who could withstand the bull- dozing tactics of the "rule or ruin element of the Mccoy forces in that committee was truly brave and true Democrat. This was especially true when an effort was made to declare Maj. Mccoy the nominee for Sheriff by a plurality of one On the face of the returns-a plurality obtained by counting one vote in the First Ward and two votes in the Second Ward, which were not counted or returned for him by the Judges of the election, and also by counting one irregular ballot for Mccoy in the Third Ward, while at the same time re- fusing to count another irregular ballot (the one with the voters name signed to iD, for MT. Brew. ster.
 To Mr. Arthur Murray's resolu- ton to declare Maj. Mccoy the nom- inee the Hon. J.W. Crawford offered substitute which provided that the petition of Mr. Brewster rala. tive to negro Republican votes in Richland township and other illegal votes and irregularities, should be investigated.
 The Mccoy forces made a very desperate effort to defeat the in- vestigation, but at this juncture Mr. Geo. K. Lytle and Mir. r. O. McGehee, who had voted with the Mccoy adherents on several ques- tions, kicked out of the traces and boldly announced that they would vote for the substitute, regardless Of the pressure Messrs. Murray, Mccoy, H. R. c. Foster and others were bringing to bear on them to stihe the investigation and declare Mccoy the nominee. Mir. Lyt,e went so far as to tell the elamorous Mccoy adherents to go away and let him alone, and that he intended to do what he believed was the "fair thing.
 This was brave and manly act on the part of Messrs Lytle and McGehee, and in this vote they showed that they held fair play and the interests of their party above the personal fortunes of any man, set of men or any candidate. Thelr votes for the adoption of Mir. Crawford's substitute will receive the endorsement of the honest and fair minded Democrats of the county who belle fe in fair play, justice administered to all alike, and who do not want to see the nominees of the Democratic. party of Jefferson county selected by ne- gro Republican votes.

 But justice will prevail. for the people will not tolerate anything else, and in the end all of these wrongs will be righted.

NEW STAR III MUSICAL WORLD

Lorenzo Perosi, the rising star in tn.
Italian armament of music, has already
done sufficiently well to fix him in his
seat of fame forever. Perosi IL musical
director Of the famed Cathedral OF st.
Mark in Venice. and his compositions
have made him the ideal OF Italy, espe-
cially Of the Venetian public. He has
written a trilogy Of oratories called tho
Sacred Trilogy." They arc THE Pas
sion OF Christ" "The TRANSPORTATION
of Jesus Christ" and The Resurrection
of Lazarus" Each ~oratorio Is In two
parts, sc arranged that the parts may
be sung separately. Record, the great
musical publisher OF Italy, has pur-
chased these compositions and has CON-
missioned the composer to write a
fourth. TO be entitled "The Holy Sepul-
chre." Perosi's first teacher was his
father, Giuseppe Perosi. a cholrmaster
In Tortona, Piedmont, where Lorenzo
was born. He was afterward sent by
the patronage of a wealthy Milanese to
the conservatory at Milan. He also
studied and travelled In Germany. He
filled various posts as director In
churches until he received his commits.

which have won for him the respect
and admiration of his people. 1t is
safe TO say that no foreign power will
attempt 10 trifle with 0kuma. What
ii Hung Chang Is to China Count
Dkuma Is to Japan, and more, for he
represents the people OF japan. In his
recent elevation TO the premiership the
death knell of the government OF the
clans was sounded and Japan now en-
Joys the comparative freedom Of party
rule. 1t is really q revolution In Jap
anese politics and the people arc at
least assured OF representation. Count
Okuma Is the father OF the reforma-
ton. He has had ample experience in
the past as minigter of finance and min
lister of foreign affairs. In order to
thoroughly understand the situation It
Is first necessary to take a brief survey
OF Japanese politics. For the last thir-
~ years Japan has been ruled by the
ministry composed OF tho mobiles of Sat
sam and Choshu. There were times
when Tosa and Hizen men were mem
bers Of the cabinet. but the latter we're
gradually frozen ont, and of recent
years all the important government po-
sitions have been filed by represen-
tatives Of the two famous clans. Japan
suffered long and patiently under this
yoke OF clan government, but finally
the clamoring Of the people for a
change resulted in the establishment Of
The diet In 1890, and At once 1t became
The ~mouthpiece OF tho peoples discon-
tent. An address to the throne charg-
Ing the government with mls-adminis-
tration or a vote OF non-conidence in
the reigning ministry or the rejection
or an important government measure
became the usual feature OF the diet.
The government would reply with
either suspension or dissolution. The
clan government managed to continue
Its existence, az there were no political
parties strong enough to overthrow Il.
Tho liberals and the progressives, the
two leading parties, were always ct
toggerheads, but on a recent measure
Involving taxations they united their
forces. The leaders OF the two parties,
Count Okuma and Count Itagaki, got
together, and as a result the great pop
ular party under the name OF "kensei-
TO-" or constitutional party, was born.
The inauguration ceremonies Of the
new party were conducted on June 22.
As a result of this Marquis Ito resigned
the premiership and his example was
