To Be Held Under the Law.

The State primary OF August 25--a
historic events to be held under the
primary law of the state. It is to be
held In each precinct by inspectors
sworn to do their duty and to keep
the law IN every respect all mana
gers. inspectors, clerks and other
officers and returning officers shall,
before entering upon their duties as
such officers, be required to take an
oath to perform their duties at such
election according to law, and to ac-
curately and truly count and return
the vote cast In such primary cleo
ton" These are the words of the
call. It Is not to be haphazard affair
at all, outside OF all law. but 1t is to
be as much within the law as the reg
ular election In November. The oath
is to be similar and the violation of
that oath In any way can be punished
under the primary law Of the State
severely and justly. .g-
R,.t. no law Is effective unless there
rs sustaining public sentiment be-
hind 1t. What each precinct needs is
movement that will put three honest
and capable men in charge Of the
coming primary of that precinct, and
that will support them in seeing that
an absolutely fair election is held.
This is important, first, because the
election Of August 25 is the real and
only election of the year in this
State, and because, secondly, the pri
mary system is on trial. and 1t has
many secret enemies who are plotting
its ruin and downfall, to the end that
the rotten convention system may be
re-established.
There is no lack of law. The pres
ent primary law is not perfect, but
it is good enough to protect voters II
the voters of precinct desire an
honest election and will nominate 20
the county committee honest .nspec-
tors and will stand by them. Public
sentiment and honest inspectors can
give us In other words an honest
election.

Cuban Annexation.

An annexation propaganda has been
organized in Cuba. 1t is called the
Cuban Planters Association. and its
object is to educate the ignorant
classes" OF the island up to the annex
alton point. At present no doubt pub
lie sentiment in Cuba is opposed to
annexation, but the sugar and tobacco
planters OF Cuba hope to be able to
change this sentiment. They will
point to the fact that the best marke,
in the world is closed against them
to their great detriment. while it is
open to Porto Rico which is fast be-

POLITICS OF THE SMITH CASE.

Washington Dispatch to Boston Globe
The action of the President in censur-
ing Brigadier-General Jacob II. Smith
and retiring him from active service as
a punishment for having violated the
rules of war in issuing his celebrated
xill-and-burn order is a lively theme of
conversation in political circles in WASH
ington.
According to some of the Republicans,
it was the very best thing the President
could do. and effectually disposes of the
statements that the Republicans defend
atrocities in the Philippines.
According to other Republicans it was

MOVE UP IN MONTGOMERY.

From the Mobile Register.
'Tf you wish to see how the separate
car business works take a ride on the
cars in Montgomery" was the suggestion
of a former Mobilian to a Mobiian.
Good or had?' was the question. "It
works all right" Are the blacks salts
fied?" Yes; the line was boycotted by
them at first, but they soon learned that
it was a good thing for them, as 1t de-
fined their rights on the cars and les
sened friction between the races" There
is no separate car or compartment Of
car set aside or any artificial division
line In a car. The system or Montgom-
cry may be called the move-up system.
The whites sit In the forward part OF a
car, beginning at the front. and the
blacks in the back part, beginning at the
back, and so long as there is room In
the car each race must move up or
crowd to itself to make place for the
other. This is how it worked: Three
Mobilians were In an open car, and upon
the last two rear seats with other white
men enjoying smoke. when colored
woman stopped the car The white men
in the last seat were told to move up
They moved up one seat forward. Pres
entity the last seat was full Of colored
passengers and four others stopped the
car. Move up again land the white pas
sengers had to go forward and find room
with their class. In the same way the
blacks are required to compact them
selves when demand for room is made
by the whites. When the car is full that
ends the matter, and it may be full of
whites or full of blacks-the rule works
the same way for both races. The con-
ductors are clothed with police authority.
They appear to have no trouble enforc-
ing the rules.

souTH's FIELDS AND FACTORIES.

From the New York World
Southern papers are calling attention,
with well-grounded pride, to the rapidly
increasing extent to which the south's
great cotton crop of over 10 100000 bales is
being manufactured in southern mills
Forty per cent OF the entire crop, or
4.156.0o0 bales, is retained for America
consumption this year. and of this total
northern miles will take 100000 bales,
while 1,S65,OO0 bales will be taken by
southern mills. Only seven years ago the
division stood thus
Bales.
Taken by northern mills ..........A, 019 900
Taken by southern mills ......... .852, 900
At this relative rate Of progress seven
years more will, as the Jacksonville
Times Union points out. find the southern
mills manufacturing 100000 bales of
their own leading crop, against $500. 5000
bales manufactured In the mills of the
north. And being large expectations of
increased trade b .ween the southern
States and South Africa on the 18TH
milan canal, our Florida contemporary
predicts that "the so, III VII. soon become
earth" That is a large prophecy but is to

the natural economic law that wherever a
thing can be produced at the lowest cost
1t will certainly be produced In largest
quantity. The cotton factory nearest the
cotton field is found to be the winner
in the long run.

went to Turney Run Hill yesterday
On an errand of mercy and rescued q
small family from violence OF the
neighbors. There had been petty
acts Of violence reported from that
territory nearly every day for week.
Yesterday Brigadier General Goblin
received a pathetic letter from the
wife Of a non-union workman, who Is
employed in the Gilberton colfery ol
the Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron company, in which she tells
of the treatment accorded her by the
strikers in that vicinity. Among
other things she said rocks had been
thrown through the windows at night
one Of them nearly striking her sleep
ing child; the house damaged, and
while she was out doors one night
..ullet was fired at her. She also said
that crowds gathered around the
house. hOoted and jeered at her and
the child. and hung Grape on the door.
Her husband. she concluded, was COM
pelled to stay in the mines in order
t., make money TO keep them from
starving. and as he could not leave
mis- work she asked the commanding
officer OF the troops here to protect
her. Turkey Run Hill has no police
protection and General Goblin decided
TO help the woman. He learned that
she was not in the best Of health, and
i: was decided that sheA had better be
taken from the place TO the Pottsville
hospital. To carry this out the gen.
eral ordered a platoon Of cavalry to
make a demonstration in that section
and while there to escort the woman
and child to the railroad station.
This was done.

The troops rode all over the terri.
