When one Of the men attending the meet
ing of the general committee to devise a
primary election law asserted that there
had never been much illegal voting In pri-
maries his associates must have smiled.
There would be no cause for a primary
election law If only those voted in pri-
maries who had the right to do so. The
present law was enacted because organiza-
ton of bodies of men of every party. and of
no party, mustered at the nearest saloon,
regardless of their residence or of the party
to which they belonged, had become a GUS
tom when sharp contests for nominations
were pending. 1t had become so much a
practice that the best men in both parties
had about ceased going to primaries. 1t
will be well for the committee framing a
primary election law to bear in mind that
this wholesale fraudulent voting in pri-
maries by men who have no right to vote
In such meetings is the great evil to be
overcome. Any legislation which does not
make the party primary as secure to the
votes of those who belong to that party as
Is the general election to the legal voters
will be of no consequence.

Address by Senator Fairbanks at Chi
Tour-Other Political News.

BOSTON, Oct. S.-More than ordinary in
terest was attached to the annual dinner of
the Republican Club of Massachusetts at
symphony Hall tonight, from the fact that
the club had for it's guest Leslie NJ. Shaw.
the secretary of the treasury. Seven hun
dred men occupied seats at the dining ia
bles, and the two large balconies were filled
with spectators, the majority of whom
were women. The occasion was marked by
many scenes of enthusiasm.
Evben s.. Draper, president of the club.
acted as postmaster at the dinner, and
the speakers included, besides Mr.. Shaw,
Governor w. Murray Crane, Lieut.. Gov.
John Bates, the Republican candidate for
Governor. and Senator Henry Cabot Lodge.
In opening the after-dinner exercises,
President Draper expressed the regret of
the club and the Republicans of Massa-
chusetts, that Elihu Root, secretary of war,
who was an invited guest, should have been
kept away on account of stress of national
affairs. Mr.. Draper then presented Gov
ernor Crane, to whom he alluded as being
a man who stood for all that is best in
American citizenship. Governor Crane
spoke briefly, saying that he took great
pleasure in presenting to the guest of the
evening the greeting of the commonwealth.
President Draper next introduced Lieu
tenant Governor Bates. Mr.. Bates gave an
historical sketch of the manufactures OF
Massachusetts and made a plea for a con-
tinuance of protective tariff, which he said
had made possible Massachusetts, remark
able success in business.
When Mr.. Shaw was introduced as the
man who had met great problems in such
a way as to receive the praise of the pub
lie he was given a magnificent reception.

TIL statement of an evening paper that
Associate Justice Brewer, of the Supreme
Court Of the United States, was appointed
by ex-President Cleveland is not correct.
Judge Brewer was appointed to the SUI
preme Court by General Harrison to fill a
vacancy caused by the death of Associate
Justice Stanley Matthews, who died March
q. 1889. 1t is a matter of little consequence
but Mr.. Cleveland would not be pleased to
confess the weakness Of his party in legal
ability by appointing a Republican to the
Supreme Court Of the United States.

The Standard Oil Company has advanced
the price Of refined oil about 6 per cent,
doubtless because Of the increased use of
oil for f~uellon account of the high price of
coal. There is nothing in the production of
crude petroleum to warrant this increase,
but the Standard monopoly could not re-
sist the temptation to wiring a little more
money out of the hands of consumers.
There is no duty on refined oil or petroleum

that the absence of tariff makes 1t possible
for the Standard to advance the price.

The figures which Senator Beveridge pre-
sented to his audience in Batesville Tues
day night regarding the number and
amount of mortgages released during the
last five years are the best evidence which
could be presented to show the general
prosperity. and particularly that of farm
ers. The aggregate mounts of the mort
cages released in several large counties
like Clark. Knox, Marion and Monroe are
not given, but for the other counties the
aggregate amount of the mortgages dis
charged in the five years is s1S4, SIC, 929,
while the total number of mortgages re-
leased in all the counties is go, 424. These
figures are emphasized by the recollection
that in 1890 or 1891 an In
~dianapolis Democrat published some
estimates Of the mortgage debts
which were so large as to warrant the con-
clusion that the men making them must
surrender the property they had mortgaged.
The same Democrat, as editorial writer of
the Sentinel, told the farmers in 1896 that
money scarcer and dearer, and the lower
prices for farm products which the gold
standard would cause there was no hope
for those who had mortgaged farms. He
and his associates are now counting the
gold Democrats. whom the bitterly de-
nounced as traitors in 1896. Do they confess

In A T0O-

A dispatch from Paris, published in the
Journal of Tuesday, stated that the dele
gates to the national committee Of French
miners would meet that day to decide
whether an immediate general strike should
be ordered. 1t was stated that 5000 men
had already quit work, but no serious dis
orders had occurred yet. 1.-The government
having sent gendarmes and troops to the
threatened points," il seems the French
government does not wait for conditions to
become almost intolerable before taking
steps to maintain order. The national COM
mittee was in session several hours on
Tuesday and adjourned till yesterday with
prevailed that a general strike would be
ordered and that from 10000 to 100. 900 miners
would obey the order. A dispatch in yes
terday's Journal said:
The reason why the committee failed to
vote with regard to ordering a general
strike Is understood TO be because discus
sion of the matter developed a division of
opinion. The majority was i'm favor of an
immediate strike, but the minority desired

the view of securing promises of early
legislation which would render the strike
unnecessary.

minimum wages, an eight-hour day and the
establishment of old age pensions. There is

in Western cities who were supposed to

As there is no general strike In the BIZ
