THE PRIMARY ELECTION.

Heretofore the excuse of the monaco
tive citizen in politics has been that he
had no show" at the primaries, hence
he stayed away and left to the profess
sionals the running Of this beginning
of all else in political activity. Under
cry citizen can so to the polls to-day
and vote under the same protection and
guarantees afforded by the regular cleo
ton law. He is not driven to accept
caucus nominees to form conventions.
He can vote for whom he chooses and
write with pen or pencil upon his bal
lot sheet just the names he wishes to
be called in the convention of his party.
He is absolutely free in this whole
matter. He can rest assured that no
trfckery will be possible, no stuffing of
the boxes or returning false lists. The
voter will not be browbeaten at the
polls. run away from the booths, nor
jostled and elbowed out of line. In
Short no excuse remains now for the
citizen who before has had some reason
for remaining away from primary cleo
.tions. His duty now is to go to the
polls and to vote the ballot sheet of the
party of his choice. A conscientious
man will not vote upon the ballot sheet
of the party with which he does not
affiliate, and the candidates Of which he
does not expect to support. He will, if
not satisfied with the nominees of the
caucuses of his party substitute Others
but he will not, If he is self-respecting
and fair-minded, use the ballot sheet
and nominees of a party to which he is
not attached, and for the purpose of ac-
complishing some low political end.

have ourselves. under the new system

TWO HELPLESS QUEENS.

The youngest Queen in the world the
other day made a pathetic appeal to
the oldest Queen in the world to inter-
vene to stay possible war in the Trans
vaal. Yet neither of these Queens,
though sovereigns of unquestioned title,
have the slightest power to do what
each desires done in the matter.
Welhelmina of Holland has a justi-
fable and natural sympathetic feeling
for the Beers. because they are of
Dutch origin, though the blood has be-
come considerably mixed. She knows
that they are numerically not strong
enough TO whip the British, though
they may long Withstand, their assault.
She knows that at the very best war
for them means woe and desolation.
Her young soul revolts at mention of
war under any circumstances. Peace
with all its smiles and placidity is far
more inviting to her than the trump
of battle, the boasts of gallantry and
the shouts of victory.
As for Victoria. she always abhorred
war She is pre-eminently a peace
ruler; yet the nation under her reign
has been engaged in several very
bloody wars. and scarce a year of her
reign has passed in which some of her
soldiery has not been engaged in slav-
Ing either foreign foes or rebellious sub
jects. She, too, desires England and
the Transvaal to remain at peace She
would prefer even some humiliating
concessions to the cry of ION to battle.
But aside from a respectful reception
OF any request she might make of her
Ministers, her intervention to prevent
or cause war with the Transvaal would
amount to no more than the pleading
of a summer zephyr. So democratic
is her State that she is sovereign N
but very little. more than title. She
neither suggests nor influences the
policy of her government; she is not
even the supreme voice through which
its DEGREES are announced. Her pred

If they did not direct absolutely, they
greatly Influenced the policy of the

the realm. But Victoria is ruler in

erful and the foremost nation of the

never sets. and the rattle of whose
arms are heard in every quarter of
the globe.
Wilhelmina is really more a Queen
than aged Victoria to-day, since the
democratic spirit has not SO far ad-
vanced in her realm. Yet she. too. is
little more than Queen in name. The

being to mislead voters into believing
it to be the regular ticket. The latter
also bears the name of Stephen Uren
at it's head, but the rest of it is differ
ent from the ticket sent out last night.
Those who wish to vote the regular
ticket should not allow themselves to
be imposed upon.
This trick will also be played in other
wards than the Fifth, but the City
Committee has taken steps to check.

place to-day will be large posters warn
ing the voters against the deception
practiced by the opposition and calling
attention to the regular ticket and

| The trick referred to is one that could
be resorted to by the regulars, had
they SO wished, but the committee

The Judgment of the best informed
and more intelligent of the officers and
soldiers returned from service in the
Philippines is that it was largely waste
of energy and money to send the peace
commission to Manila. The problem in
the Philippines is one to be dealt with
only at the swords point as yet, say
they. Before there can be any commits
sion work, there must be submission
to the authority of the United States.
the returned officers, really hampered
the military, as it caused delay of oper-
ations during a season when the troops
could have been effectively at work
pushing the insurgents into a corner.
The barter attempted by the commits
sion with the insurgents served, 1t is
charged, only to give the latter time
to recruit their strength, fortify their
positions and spy out ours. While in
clined to believe that the work Of the
commission did not tend toward peace,
it did accomplish some good. 1t gath
cred facts and made them of official
record which are of first Importance
TO the Government 1t reached conclu-
sions based on such facts which must
operate with the Administration in
forming, changing and adapting its
policy. The commission did good by it's
travel over thousands of miles in the
archipelago gathering information,
meeting natives and in putting before
them the friendly attitude of the Unit
ed States toward them if they did not
take up arms against us. The commits
sion was worth all it cost in the vo-
luminous data it reports to the State
Department at Washington, concerning
the resources of the country, it's to-
Biography, it's possibilities under q
higher state of civilization, the social
conditions in the islands, the extent,
value and promise of the commerce of
the Philippines, and SO on. On the
basis of the information gathered the
Administration can build with perfect
confidence. While, therefore, the COM
mission as peace agency was ineffect-
i've and probably delayed aggressive
measures to some extent, 1t was not
therefore valueless.

OUR MANILA HEROES.
A Proposed Public Demonstration
in Their Honor

There has been talk of a public re-
ception to be extended to one of the
sacramento young men who fought IN
the country's battles about Manila
This is all very we'll, but there are
now here several returned soldiers who
fought along the firing line in the Phil
ippines during the past year. Among
them are Hayward Reed, a graduate
of our High School; Osman Anderson
and others, and it has been suggested
that some sort of public demonstration
might be gotten up-a banquet, or
something of the kind-at which the
peoples appreciation Of their services
and yalor might be shown.
1t is understood that by the trans
ports that returned lately, or to come
soon, will bring back a few more Sac
ramentans, and altogether there will
ere long be quite a number Of Philip
pine heroes in the city.
They should all be included in any
demonstration that may be held.
