EDITOR Press:
Notwithstanding the fact that the
County Chairman refused to inform
persons interested as to what names
of candidates would appear on the
Republican ticket, and also refused
TO allow them to have copies of the
same in advance of the primaries,
and stated, as we are informed, that
no candidates wo1ld be allowed to
have any tickets in advance, the
fact is that on Wednesday tickets
were in the hands of some of his
supposed, and some of his real
friends. In short, those whom he
favored we're given the advantage
of having the tickets in advance,
while those he opposed we're kept in
ignorance so far as lay in his pow
er, of the contents of the ticket, aud
deprived of the advantage of having
them that they might instruct
their friends how to vote.
This gentleman holds a federal
Office in this town, the best one in
the county, is Chairman of the
County Committee, and as such
should treat all candidates fairly,
and so far us in his official position
lies, give each one an equal chance.
Is our county committee simply II
machine to further the political in
terests of one set of men, and to
thwart the desires of all others who
may not be in their graces or who
will not bow the knee to their man.

minded Republicans, even of their
own faction, will endorse or APP
prove of such methods. No one is
sure of the favor of such men, and
no matter how specious their prom
ises or loud their prOtestations OF
friendship, if one dares but to ex.
press an individual opinion he comes
under the ban of disapproval and
the same tactics which have been
used to gain his support will be as
relentlessly used to crush him
Fair play is jewel and we await
the verdict of the people on the

Reflections of a Bachelor.

Love with women is like poker
with a mamie does most of his
winning while learning it.
Women know more about love
than they do about loving, men know
more about loving than they do
about love.
Married men are rare whose pride
is so strong that they can't bear to
think they might have been refused
when they proposed.
The is no surer way for a man to
make girl think she has got to
have another man, than for him to
make her think he has to have her.

The Far West.

The applications for space at the
National Export Exposition at Pa,
from California and other Western
States indicate that that section of
the United States will be we'll repre-
sented. Most of the exhibits will be
of an extremely interesting oharac-
ter. Dried fruits, wines and canned
goods of all kinds will be shown
and arrangements are now being
made for the showing of the process
of wine making. Inasmuch as
American wines are fast securing a
foothold in foreign countries such
an exhibit cannot help but stimu-
late that industry. A manufactur-
ing concern on the Pacific coast will
make a very novel exhibit. A booth,
covering at least 200 square feet,
and rising 30 feet from the Exposi.
tion Hall, will be erected, and il
will be constructed entirely of diff
ferent varities of glue manufactur.
ed in California.

A NAME WANTED.
Australia Is Trying Co Find . Sult- able One for Her New
 Capital.

The correspondence columns of the Australian papers are teeming with novel and original suggestions for the style and title of the federal capital of the early future. "Cooktown" is pro- posed as a posthumous compliment to Capt. Cook, the Columbus of the Aus tralian seas. "Ophir," the Biblical gold en city" is also considered appropriate, as gold is a principal Australian prod uct. Augusta" the name of the first known settlement on the site of Lon- don, is regarded by one correspondent as a capital symbol for "a noble, ma jestic, imperial city" says the London Chronicle.
 Alexandrina, Guelph, Southern Cross, Australopolis, Australburgh. Victoria Regina, Atlantis, Federal City, Queen Victoria City. Fedora, Southminster and Britannia are a few of the titles culled from a considerable variety of epis- tolary samples. An admirer of the pre- mier of the parent colony recommends Rockville. Perhaps the most sensible suggestion is that of An Australian Girl" who would leave the selection of the title of the federal capital to the queen. Her majesty has not been asked to play this role of godmother since she bestowed the name of New West minister upon the first capital of British Columbia, then an independent colony now the most western province of the Canadian dominion. The present capi- talof British Columbia bears the queens own name, Victoria.

POMP OF POWER.
GreAt Ceremony Attends the Nightly Locking of GIbraItar's
 Gates.

Perhaps the favorite sight of Gibral. tar is the daily procession at sundown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper of the keys, looking very like a prisoner despite his uniform, marche: through the town in the center of . military guard, preceded by a regiment al band, which plays inspiring and fa- miliar tunes. The keys, of enormous size, are borne aloft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigi' lance of Britain in guarding her prime military treasure.
 On arriving at the gates the guard salutes, the martial strains strike uI with a redOubled paean of triumph while the great doors slowly swing tc and are solemnly locked for the night Then right-about-turn, and the proces- sion marches back to the convent to de posit the keys in the governors keep ing, conveying by its passage an assur. ance to the people and garrison that they may rest in peace.
 Once the gates are shut it were easier for camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for any unauthorized per son to go into Gibraltar. Even a be- lated officer returning from pig-stick- ing beyond the lines would be confront ed by so many fornahties and the ne cessity of inconvcniencing so many high personages that he would probably pre-, fer to encounter the disCOmforts of 6 Spanish inn without.

NO ANSWER FOR BILLINGS
 GATE.

Our contemporary continues its tirade of epithets against Governor Murphy, and apparently imsgines that thereby it is doing great ser vice to taxpayers and the people generally. Just what argument or proof there is in such a course IS dit- fcult for a fair minded man to see, but il may be powerfully convincing to the Courier readers. In all the columns Of vituperation and epithets used against the governor not a single word has appeared, outside of mere assertions. to attempt 10 disprove any of the things com piained of. Any official act of the governor is the legitimate subject for legitimate criticism, but this everlasting howl and constantly re- peated string of epithets against an official without any argument what ever in support of them, does the territory infinitely more harm than any proclamation that could be IS sued by him. IL IS on a par with the constant and continued reitera- tion of the word ''taxless," as ap- piled to one single railroad ofseYeral taxless ones in the territory, and the claim that by its use a fight IS being made Ter the taxpayers. IL must be apparent 70 the most ignorant man in the territory that the oft repeated use of this word is meaningless while the motive which prompts its equal lvapparent inasmuch as it is aimed at one single road of the various ones enjoying tax exemption in the terri tory.
 Itisa matter of note, by its re- p4ated reference to the Murphy gang" the Murphy satellites, and such choice epithets, used aga'ns' any one who dares to plead guilty of being friendly to either Governor Murphy or his brother, F. NJ Murphy, or of being friendly to any enterprise they are connected with that personal spleen and not public interest is the actuating motive ol these vile and malicious attacks The JOURNAL MINER does not pro nose to descend to billingsgate which is the only answer which can be made to the profuse use of 1t m, dulged in by our contemporary, and to which it always resorts where a discussion or controversy oi any kind arises.
