A November "peach "

The chambers of commerce of St
Paul Minneapolis and Duluth are
struggling heroically over a measure
TO regulate primary elections. The
spirit at the bottom of every effort to
reform election abuses is one to be
commended. never to be scoffed at; and
yet the character Of the remedial legs-
lation suggested is often entitled to the
merry ma Ia, from practical men.
1t would seem as if this particular
measure Ito regulate primary cleo
tons" had been formulated by gen
tlemen who never attend primaries
themselves and are lacking, there
fore. in the experience and wisdom
which should go hand in hand IN lay
ing a good foundation for a really re-
formatory measure. But their inten-
tion is good and their purpose as clear
as that of commercial bodies generally.
to Wit. that something affecting the
body polite requires to be regulated,
and they will proceed (by resolution
always) to regulate it,
The Pioneer Press says of this meas
ure that it is good. The Dispatch re-
serves the right to comment upon 1t
hereafter. The Clio b e meekly in
quires the name of the particular asy-
lum for feeble minded folk whence it
emanated-for nobody in St. Paul. we
venture to say, originated 1t. The mer-
its of the measure will be duly pointed
out. we understand, at the meeting of
our own chamber on Monday. Posi-
bly, it may have no dement's, albeit
some of its features may be said to be
queer.
For instance, mo organization or
association Of citizens for the cleo
ton of city officers shall be deemed a
political party within the meaning of
this act" and a political party" is
defined as amy political organization
which at the last preceding election
of the governor polled at least 10000
votes for governor" That is to say. a
municipality may be governed by a
body of rogues, a combine of corrupt
Republicans and Democrats. and a cit
liens movement such as freed New

want 10 do-to restrain any number. of
honest citizens from associating for
the purpose Of putting an end to the
reign OF banditti. in the event of the
regular political organizations being
unwilling or too weak to assist in
such a laudable work.
Again, Why a party strength of
