Says the Springfield Republican: The
various wars down in the revolution belt
seem to be subsiding. Hayti is pretty
quiet; in Colombia the insurgents have
lately been greatly reduced. and now our
Minister to Caracas reports that the war
in Venezuela is probably over. The world
after all may experience. an old slow
poke of a winter in which peace shall
reign everywhere.
But it will be pretty safe to wager
that South and Central America revolu-
ton may be only alternating.
We agree with the Charlottesville Pro-
gress that the opponents of the primary
plan OF making nominations will make a
great mistake If they do not accept that
method in good faith and join in with
its advocates in making 1T as free from
objections as possible.
Moreover, we are inclined to believe
that they are kicking against the pricks-
because the primary has come to stay.

coast AS well as throughout the voyage. "
This is important. if true. and since 1t
comes from an official source there would
seem every reason to believe it is true.
But all the same, 1t IS astonishing and
hard to grasp.

The Alabama Primary.
Chattanooga Times.

G0dttdnOOSd l.
 As on most propositions that have come up to him for settlement, Governor Jelks of Alabama has taken the manly. frank and fearless attitude of indorsement of the State primary, and against the old. vicious and demoralizing mass conven- ton plan. In addition the Governor con tends that the candidates for State ofiices must have clear majorities of the votes cast in order to entitle them to the nom- ination, which though liable in contests where there are many candidates, to give trouble is nevertheless the correct prin- ciple. The rule is that the majority shall control and that should be the basis of all preliminary contests. The Alabama Democrats seem in a fair way not only to maintain a stronger party organiza- tion than they have ever had, but to se- cure honest and fair elections, something they have not been able to boast of since the war Tennessee will fall into line after a while There are just as many fair-minded and honesty loving Demo crats here as there are in Alabama; the only trouble is that they haven't got to the uprising point yet. That will come a little later on. and at the present rate of progress 1t will be in comparatively a short time.

AssAULTING THE CoNsTITU
 TON,

The people should not be deceived by false issues. The candidacy of Johnston means an assault on the new Constitu- tion and an attempt to nuilify it's provi- sions as far as possible. Johnston did all in his power to prevent calling conven- tion to adopt new Constitution and af- ter it's adoption did his best to prevent its ratification. He was the leader fin both of these movements and today he de- sires to put every obstacle he can in the way of its operation. His election would mean a desperate effort to amend 1t. es- pecially in its suffrage provisions. The people of Alabama have just adopted this great and glorious reform that means a new era in Alabama's history and de- velopment It win never do to turn it's enforcement over to its deadllest enemies who will nullify it's most important pro- visions and destroy it's efficiency Every friend of the Constitution should rally to the support of Governor Jelks. who rep resents the Democracy of Alabama that secured the adoption and ratification of our new fundamental law which means 50 much for AlabAma

Will Use a sledge Hammer.

Mobile Herald.
 As if there existed anywhere this side of Tammany Hall more thorough or a more selfish politician than Joseph F. Johnston. As a politician he is profes- sionaI. and as a candidate. he is perpet- ual. No one but a professional place hunter would have the sublime audacity to protrude himself again on the people after the overwhelming repudia ton he re- celved when he endeavored to defeat John r Morgan. In that memorable cam paign. it will be remembered. Johnston was not only repudiated in almost every County in the State. but his home Coun- ty and city, even the ward in which he resides. cast overwhelming votes against him. History will repeat itself on Au- gust 9. The people are fully aware of Mir. Johnston's desire to represent Alabama in the United States Senate Their disapprovaI of the idea was spoken in thunderous tones two years ago. Had he possessed any deli cacy of feeling he would have then re- tired to the rear and taken a seat. Since he cannot take a hint the people will now use sledge hammer. Mark the prediction

cratic Party in 1896 I recognized his right to do so. and did not criticise his decision. although as the party candidate was administration had brought upon the par ty--an cdium which had already lived through a more disastrous defeat than ever since experienced. He has never yet indicated an intention to return to the Democratic party, and his business interests are such as to make his return improbable. Until he does manifest some respect for Democratic principles and policies. I do not understand why he should be an honored guest at a politi- cal dinner given by a Democratic club. Having thrown his influence to the Re publican party in two campaigns. he IS hardly in position to advise the party which he abandoned or, as he explained 1t. which hanished him.
 T am anxious to see the party grow in numbers and in strength. but it is ab- surd to expect this result to follow an attempt on the nart of deserters to turn the party over to the control of those who find the society of Republicans more congenial than the society of those who believe in the platforms adopted in 1Sst and l9O0.''

ANNEXATION OF CUBA.

Washington Special to Chicago Tribune.
 The proposed reorganization or the t,u- ban Sugar Planters Association on the basis of political society having for It's object the annexation of Cuba 70 the United States serves to call attentlon to the propaganda which has been pushed with great vigor for some months.
 Ii is becoming apparent that there IS an organized movement on foot In this coun- try as well as in Cuba to bring about the desired result It has been especially no- ficeabie in the United States since the Administration of the island government was turned over to it's inhabitants on May % It cannot be doubted that Senator El- kins's bill providing for the annexation of Cuba expressed the sentiments or a large coterie of members of both houses of Congress, although many or them would not admit 1t. Part Of the plan was to defeat reciprocity legislation;
 Some of the opposition to the Presi- dents program was due to the pressure Of local interests, but other Senators were undoubtedly actuated by desire to 1orce annexation by denying commerciaI renel:

When everybody thought for sure we were going to the bottom, he sat down at the piano in the saloon, and what do you suppose he began playing? Home. Sweet Home Somebody went to him and begged him to stop Immediately he switched off from the doleful strains of the old song to the rollicking melody of Down Went McGinty.'
