Democrats, Brave and True.

The meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee to eau vass the returns of the primary election of June 1Gth afforded many opportunities for sore test of mans Democracy
 One who could withstand the bull dozing tactics of the "ruIe 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 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- fuslng to count another irregular ballot (the one with the voters name signed to iO, for Mir. Brew ster.
 To Mr. Arthur Murray's resolu- ton to declare Maj. Mccoy the nom. inee the Hon. J. W, Crawford offered 8 substitute which provided that the petition of MT Brewster rea tive to negro Republican votes in Richland township and other illegal votes and irregularities, should be investigated.
 The Mccoy forces made very desperate effort 10 defeat the in- vestigation, but at this iuncture Mr. Geo. E Lytle and Mr. F. 0. McGehee, who had voted with the Mccoy adherents on several oues. tions, kicked out of ihe traces and boldly announced that they would vote for the substitute, regardless of the pressure Messrs. Murray, Mccoy, II. R. c. Foster and others were bringing to bear on them to stihe the iayes stigation and declare Mccoy the nominee. Mir. Lyt.e went so far as to tell the clamorous Mccoy adherents to "go away and let him alone, and that he intended io do what he believed was the flair thing.
 This was brave and manly act on the part of Messrs Lytle and

 Running the Fast Express" is the title of an article by George Ethelbert Walshin St. Nicholas Mir Walsh says.
 The engineer comes down to his post nf duty nearly ap hour before his train is scheduled to leave. 4lI night long ii she roundhouse the engine has beer carefully watched; wiper has spent the whole night rubbing down the pant. ing. sporting iron horse until every rod and cylinder shines ike gold or silver; the banked fire has been kept going so that little steam has been always in the boxes, und before he left at night the fireman put everything in perfect order inside the cab. The fireman ap- pears first i'll the morning and inspect1 the work of the roundhoase men, and If any part Is not satisfactory he makes it so The engineer makes his inspection after the fireman and thoroughly and carefully examines every part. All the bearings are then oiled, and the oil cups ire filled with oil. Next the engine is run out of the roundhouse and tested. Fifteen minutes before the time to start the engine is coupled to the train, and the steam and airhrakes are tested.
 No race horse was ever brought to his post better fitted for running the course than is the locomotive of the fast ex- press. Ill addition to the tests already made, mechanic goes rom wheel to wheel and upon every one strikes 8 sharp, resoundlng blow to ascertain if the wheel and axle are sound. Nuts and bolts are examined. The engineer and fireman are held responsible for the per- tees condition of the engine and cars bs. tore tEe staet is made.

The attention of the State Demo- cratic central committee and the State convention which will convene in this city tomorrow is called to the complaints Of frauds and irregu- larities coming from Pulaski, Jetfer- son, Woodruff, Prairie and two or three other counties. A legalized primary was called for May ', and in three or four counties where dis satisfaction arose a second primary was held in certain townships. Was this the proper course to pursue in Q legalized primary? oes not the law governing these primaries des- igaate course of procedure when frauds and Irregularities crop out? If so, the law has not been properly enforced. What are you going to do about it, gentlemen? Will you call the atteH tion of the courts and juries to fragrant violations of the law, or will you allow such things to pass unnoticed?

GEN. MERRIAM COMING
MAKING 4 MILITARY PROGRAM
FOR HAWAII
Department Commander to Familiar
ize Himself With the Situation and
the Needs of the Future.

Honolulu is now the intermediate
station between the Department of
California and the Department of the
Pacific, the latter including the Phil
ippine Islands, in command of Major
General Merritt, whose headquarters
are at Manila. This not only makes
Honolulu very important naval sta
ton, but adds much to the importance
of San Francisco as a depot of sup
plies.
General Merriam at once appreciat-
ing the great responsibility that has
been placed upon him has already put
on his thinking cap to work out the
military program for the Islands. In
Call interview he said that he pro-
posed at an early day to take trip
to Honolulu and spend some little
time there for the purpose of thor
oughly acquainting himself with the
situation and learning the needs of
the near future.
The colonel of the infantry regiment
stationed here will be the commander
of the post, while full detail of
quartermaster and commissary otiici-
ais will be permanently quartered
