TIE sinking of the battleship

Yet the United States are paying out more for pen sions annually than any of the great powers for the maintenance of their standing armies and formida- ble navies. How long the people of this country will suffer such a con- diticn to continue cannot be accu- rately foretold, but certain it Is re- cent disclosures should show the ne cessity for a change in our internal policy of paying pensions to our own citizens while our means of de fense and of war are neglected.

The Prlnar.es,

In the opinion of the GRAPHIC, the
 Democratic County Central Com mittee acted wisely in fixing the
 date for the county primaries on the
 same date as that fixed for the State primaries May the Eth. The de
 cree of the State Central Committee
 was mandatory. and since May the
 7th was fixed upon as the day for
 voting for State officers, it was but
 fitting and proper that the county
 primaries should te set for the same
 day It was observable during the
 proceedings of the County Central Committee that Q majority of the country members were in favor of consolidating the pcimaries; also
 that they were in favor of May the 7th as the date for the county pri- maries. In their vote and action in this manner, they no doubt voiced and voted according to the senti ments of the people of their town ships. In such matters the country people should always be consulted. One day is as good as another so far as the convenience of the town people is concerned. Butit is not that way with the agricultural class.  es, many of whom have to go sever al miles to get to a ballot box. And the consolidation of the primaries will save them day to their crops, aud insure a full vote for the State ticket.
 As to the candidates. their inter- ests are not to be consulted in such at any rate. If they do not want long campaign they should aot announce so early. The GRAPH e did what it could to prevent an sarly campaign, but the importu- late aspirants would not heed it's ldmonitions, and many rushed in with their announcements in the of Jahuary, when March T April would have done as well. hey. have no one to blame for the ong campaign, therAfore, but them elves. 'Midwinter primaries or have neyek been known
