Politics is beginning to engage the attention of all classes of citI- gems. Candidates are on the verge of announcing their intentions, and really are only, waiting for the .' other fellow" to break the iee.' The pot is simmering, and within a month the political aspirations of most men will be known. We believe that most democrats are m favor of strictly white democratic primary election to thin down the candidates, and we are of the same mind. We also think that an early primary will be profitable to both the candid ate and the voter-the candidate will escape tbe bleeding and leg pulling process, while the voter will save much time, which is money to most folk. We presume that imperialism, expansion and Coins financial school will be lead ing issues in the county campaign, and the trusts will no doubt also get a whack from the democratic club when the party meets to whereas and resolute, lf good roads, better facilities for getting the country produce to this town, indiscriminate enforcement of the laws of the State-all kinds against all misdemeanors and felo- nies, and other things of this like, though perhaps of minor lmpor- tance. shall claim a small bit of attention, then we are sure the party will wax strong and healthy, and prosperity will perch upon our banner. The candidates will attend to these little matters, how ever, at least until the election, and we will watch them,and if occasion requires, give them a few hints and points as to what the "peepul" want.

 A prominent city official, in h. menting the trials and tribuIations of the local politician, remarked the other day that it was very un- wise In one who cherished a de- sire for office to announce himself carly. "Just as soon as we mak e pubic our intentions to run for an office," said the off cial, tour beloved constituents begin to pay us a great deal of attention, and call frequently, making bold and uncompromislng inroads upon our lime and pocket books. There should he some way to eliminate this class from our elections. It IS composed of pernicious, ignor. ant and immoral element which should have no voice in our city government. Votes which may be bought tor sack of flour, a ham, a half pint of whiskey, or a pound of chewing tobacco, count, but the people who cast them have no interest Tn the city's growth or material advancement, and exer- else the right of sufferage merely as q business or to satisfy the de- mands of greed and degrading habits. The city official is cor rect. We should organize a city Democracy, hold our primaries, nominate ticket composed of the best men, and then elect them. Under the prevailing custom the ritf-raff element bleeds q candid ate to death, and prevents many good and competent men from of fering for the various positions. Good men do not want to scramble for petty office, and spend its emoluments besides.

Troubled with a Wife.

The honeymoon Of the Turkish
minister to Washington, acco riding to
all accounts, is a lugubrious failure
Rcccntly Ali Fcrrou Bey went
home, and marrying new wife, re-
turned with her to Washington, cx-
planning that he was under promise
to the Sultan to keep her as secluded
as ii she were pceping over her mask
at St. Sophia. This challenge to
American curiosity was unfortunate,
for the ambassador has not been
able to give his wife an airing since
his arrival. Whichever way he
turns there is a terrible man in sight,
whose glance upon the lady's face
would bring degradation upon hcl
husband. An appeal for silence was
made to the society newspapers also
to no purpose, for they have set ur
sentry posts around the ambassadors
fcSlucncc.
In this dilemma Ali Fcrrou Bcy
has taken the real estate men into
confidence. lie wants to rent an
extensive inclosurc, for which he is
willing to pay any price, but when
he reaches the condition that fifty
foot wall must be built around it,
with barbcd wire strung around on
the outside, he strikes a snag. Al
most any man is willing to rent his
ground to the ambassador, but he
does not want it converted into q
circus in appearance.
The ladies arc sick from enforced
confinement, the ambassador is mad
the Sultan is passive, while the curl
osity licnds keep watch upon every
window of the residence.

examine them fully before any definite
action could DC taken or the transfer of

most favorable circumstances. The war
in South Africa will doubtless have the
effect to postpone the matter indefinitely
