To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
Among the many excellent recommended
tions of Governor Mount in his able and
practical message to the Legislature, none
is more important to the State than that of
having a primary election law. The Gov
ernor says: THE nomination of candidates
for Office should be as far removed as posi-
BILE from the dominance of political leaders
and ring politicians, giving all voters an
equal chance and untrammeled right to be
heard in the selection of candidates"
Ring politicians" as the Governor prop
erly calls them are in politics only for
what they can get out of it for themselves
An honest political ringster would be a
great curiosity political ring has no
scruples as to methods. Its reserve forces
that are invariably called in to win the
nominations are Doodle and beer. With these
helpers they can bring to the primary the
buns and floaters of all parties. With their
aid they can secure delegates to nominating
conventions of their own kind. In the cit
les and larger towns especially they will
have this disreputable gang at the primary
convention few minutes before the adVer-
tised time of the meeting, organize it with
a rush, and put through prepared bill of
their henchmen as delegates before honest
men can reach the meeting. When the
fraud is completed and the nomination is
maze, with q DfdZen eIfOnIefy ln6y INVOKE
party loyalty to indorse the fraud at the
polls. A good, well-governed primary law
will give men who love their country and
State, and who believe in and take pride
in their party, a chance to make nominal
tons for Office of men Tor whom it will
be a delight to vote at the polls. 1t will be
an efficient lever to lift party politics out of
the dirt and filth of the ringster methods,
10 the higher level of decency, capability
and integrity. 1t will take the control out
of the hands of the ignorant and vicious
classes and the governing power will be
transferred to those who have a proper APP
lot. 1t will end the career of the office
hunting ringsters, who have been, and are.
the disgrace of American politics. A pri-
mary election law that would give assur-
ance to the people that there could be no
Juggling, but that the vote of the honest
man and good citizen would accomplish
the purpose for which he gave it, would
cause him to come to the primary and do
his duty to his State and his party.
The Governor calls attention to the fact
that in many counties in the State there mas
been, with no apparent reason, a great in
crease in the local expenses and as a con-
sequence higher taxation. 1t is fair to con-
clude that the nomination. and their cleo
ton, under the whip and spur of party 10y
atty, of incompetent, and often OF dishonest,
ringsters has been the chief cause of this
additional burden the people. If better
men made the nominations this would, to a
large extent, correct this evil. This would
he practical, and not merely theoretical
civil-service reform The people will cor
rect all these things and give us decent
government If they can have "A fair chance
at the primary. WILL CUMBACK.

HAVANA. Jan. 14-General Julio San
gully, accompanied by four aids, to-day
sailed for Tampa, Fla, whence he proposes
to proceed to Washington to protest against
the attitude assumed toward him by Major
General Ludlow, military governor of the
Department of Havana. Yesterday General
Sanguilly called on Major General Brooke,
governor general of CUBA, and for the first
time gave his version of the Albisu Theater
affair. He showed General Brooke General
LudloWs letter ordering him (Sangullly),
as the latter puts it, to stay out of the city
and not to wear his uniform. General Lud-
low letter, which was dated Jan. o. was
personal letter, not an official communica-
ton, and was courteously phrased In it
General Ludlow expressed surprise that
man of Sanguillys rank should take part
IN such scene as that which occurred at
the Albisu Theater, and ii contained a di-
rect suggestion as to the propriety of San
guillys staying out of the city thereafter
or if he came into Havana that he be not
attired in uniform.
Sanguilly who had not seen General Lud-
low, got note of introduction to him from
General Brooke, and sent it to General Lud-
qulry as to when it would be convenient
for General Ludlow to him. To this
General Ludlow replied that he could not
see Sanguilly and the latter, before leaving
full statement of the case. General San
gully considers that the Cuban army has
been insulted in his person.
Major Russell b. Harrison, provost mar
shall of the Seventh Army Corps, has writ
ten letter to Major General Lee protesting
the city without passes. The Havana pa
troll arrest any priVateS or noncommissioned
officers whom they find without written
leave in their possession, and the prisoners
are taken to the guardhouse, where they are
held until the next morning and sent back
to camp on the 10 O'clock train.

Meat Famine in south Africa.

WASHINGTON, Jan. flowing TO the

longed drought South Africa is threatened
with q meat famine. During the year ended
May 81 last, according to a report to the
sui Stowe at Cape Town, no less than 1,4y0.-
900 head of cattle were lost from these
sheep was 20S6,OO0. In many districts the
drought has become worse since May. All
over the country the farmers are selling
price of meat is rapidly rising. In the cities
it sells now for from 20 70 40 cents per
pound for beef and 20 cents for mutton
Prices of living are mounting to the dan
ger point American flour and corn meal
are being imported, the demand for the lat
ter being beyond the supply. Altogether
says the consul, the outlook for a large
trade with the United States in cereals is
good and he regrets only that the United
States cannot share in the large prospective
sales of frozen meat.

long and was blunt at each end.

Woodcarver Convict.
AS an art centre Sing Sing Prison
is establishing a reputation. Already
the warden has made the school of
design and decoration there one of the

I The classes are for thoroughly practi-

are doing time, receive an education
that makes Ii easy for them to earn a

ter they have served out their sentences
and are discharged into the world out

The warden has discovered several
geniuses already. One of these built

and the Protestant ehapels He did
all the work himself and learned how
to use tools after he entered the prison.
His experience in carpentering or any
mechanical work had not gone further
than driving nails in packing boxes be-
fore the Law took charge of him. He
had good ear for music, though he
could not read a note. and he had
played organs on the road" three sea-
sons of three months each for a manu-
featuring firm in Canada. In this
work he had helped a packing and I'M

become t4miliar with the arrangement

OF the instruments. He had never
worked at organ building nor had he
done any NJ The -,l9ctical work of de-
signing or construction.
