TURN OUT At THE PRIMARIES.
HOLLIS CoU RTNEH, JR.,
State Central Com. for Hartford &c

The Democratic primaries, which
are to be held shortly, should be at
tended by every Democrat in the
county who has the good of the party
at heart. If bad nominations are
made the fault lies primarily with the
people themselves. Ifthey do not at
tend and elect the best men for dele
gates the other class will creep in and
the county will be misrepresented in
the Convention. If it were any other
business matter, no one would think
of allowing it to go by default and
then expect the best results to follow.
The campaign of 1900 is an import
ant one, and these are times when
nothing can be allowed to go by de-
fault. There never WAS time before
when the party needed to be more on
the alert. In the past, minor matters
could be left in the hands of a few,
but now is the time when united
action is needed To be successful
needs the cooperation Of every Demo
crat. If they will turn out at the
primaries a renewed interest will be
manifested and the moral effect of
this goes great way toward success.
AT the recent County Republican
Convention the apathy apparent, was
freely commented upon, both by out
siders and the members themselves.
They could not be blamed for not
showing more interest because it
seems that theirs is indeed lost
cause. This feeling is doubtless
shared by all of from their leader,
Congressman Baker, who declines
denomination at this critical juncture,
down to the colored brother in the
northeast corner.
In marked contrast with this let as
many Democrats as possible be pres
ent both at the primaries and the
county convention too, whether dele
gates or not; and show by their pres
ence and enthusiasm that victory
is within their reach and that they
propose to have it and by big old
time Democratic majority.

TOO TRUSTPUL,

That all is not harmony between
the various leaders Of the Republican
party is clear from the disposition of
Congress to save its neck from the
sword of public opinion in the ship
armor matter.
AT first the Republican committee
fixed the maximum price OF $54j per
ton, sufficient to give Krupp, Carnegie
and the Bethlehem works bonanza,
but the present intention is to refrain
from fixing any price, and turn the
whole matter over to the President
and Secretary Long, with instructions
ito buy the best arInor in the market
at the cheapest possible price"
The absurdity Of this is apparent
in the fact that ali of 1.-The best and
cheapest armor" is in the hands of
the syndicate. With M8rk Hanna
behind the executive stool pigeons,
the best" must be the very highest,
or we shall have to DO away with
navy expansion.

4 GOOD BILL.

The post check money order
| bill recently introduced in Congress
is one which is calculated to fill long
felt want for those persons who desire
to remit conveniently and safely
through the mail small sums of
money without being compelled to
go to the postoffice and obtain a
money order.
Two-thirds of all the postofhces il
the United States are not money
order offices. Such offices are among
agricu,t ural committees where it is
especially inconvenient to the citizens
to secure safe money through the
mail. The proposed bill contemplates
the reprinting of all one, two and five
dollar bills now in existence and have
on their faces spaces allowing blank
ines for name and addresses to be
| filled in. The notes are to be printed
in the highest style OF art employed
in the National Bureau of Engrav-
ing.
This money with it's new face will
pass from hand to hand in tho ordi-
nary business transactions Of the day.
Whenever any one desires to send a
small amount of money, for Instance
to pay O small back subscription to
The 1f,gis he will take the bill from
his poeketbook, write en- its face the
firm name and the postoffice and
State tffiXing q two cent stamp in one
corner, Zone cent stamp for fractional
bil!s) sign his initials and date and
cancel the stamp.
Thus, this piece Of currency which
up to this time has been passed from
hand to hand is instantly transformed
into a personal check on Uncle Sam
and is as safe for transmission as any
money order. This is enclosed and
can be collected the same as any
other check or draft or will be paid
on presentation and Identification at
the postoffice on which it is drawn.
There is no change on the financial
base of issue as each note will be re-
placed by the government with u
post check note of like denomination,
based on the same foundation, and
existing under the same law as the
note retired, thus in no way affecting
the present financial system of the
government.
Every one admits the fractional
paper currency issued during and
after the civil war was the most con-
venient small money we ever had, SO
long as it remained comparatively
clean. Instead Of carrying a lot Of
silver and nickels these small oils
could be smoothed out and carried in
a space occupying very little bulk.
This bill provides for the issue of
$50, eco, 900 in fractional bills of the
post check form in denominations of
., 10, 10, % and so cents in place of
that amount of large notes in circula-
ton; this fractional currency to pass
current from hand to hand when left
with blank spaces untitled. These
can be transformed into checks, pay
able to the payee, and will require u
one cent stamp.

John Adams: No. l stood by
the side of Jefferson when he brought

on the floor of Congress. After our
long arrangement come back to his
side again.
James Madison: No. The object
OF the Federal Constitution is to Sc,
cure the union of the thirteen print
tive States, which we know to be
practicable, and to add to them such
other States as may arise in their own
bosoms or in their neighborhood,
which we cannot doubt will be prac-
ticable.'

trainers OF the Constitution never con-
templated colonies or provinces at all.
They contemplated States only; moth

sovereign States. There is reason,
there is sound political wisdom, in this
provision of the Constitution-exelud-
ing colonies, which are always subject
to oppression, and excluding provinces
which always tend to corrupt and en-
feeble and ultimately to break down
the parent State.
John Marshall: No. The power
to declare war was not conferre2 upon
Congress for the purpose of aggression
or aggrandizement. A war declared
by Congress can never be presumed to
be waged for the purpose Of conquest

QUE SCANDALS IN CUBA.

The Administrator has to face an
ugly scandal il Cuba, which is all the
more humi!iatipg because We have
''carpet-bagged" the island with
American officials in order to teach
the Cubans how to govern them
selves. If reports from Havana are lot
exaggerated one of the talented in
structors in the art OF government
whom the Administration sent to
Cuba-and possibly more than one
has given the natives some exceeding
ly fine points in official stealing. A
great deal has been written about the
looting propensities Of Spanish office
holders in Cuba, and the genius which
they displayed in getting their fingers
into the Islands cash box. The
Spaniard may be gifted thief in
Office, but he is not able to teach
the American carpet Dagger anything
about the nice points Of the game. An
instructor in honest government who
can pocket SO, 900 Of other peoples
money in LEES than q Year is an artist
in official larceny who has little to
learn from the most accomplished
rogues under the Spanish regime in
Cuba. 1t is to be hoped the Cubans
will appreciate the Administration
efforts to establish an economical and
efficient government in the island.--
