PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
They Are Much More Satisfactory
Than Party Caucuses.

Inan farty Caucubcbs
uaniel Webster said in his day and
generation: 1T is time to do away with
caucuses. They max, great men little
and little men great. The true source
Of power Is the people" Perhaps we
have made some advancement in our
political methods since then, but 1t Is
still far cry into lne future to the
political millennium.
The state of Minnesota proceeding
upon the theory of Webster that "the
true source of power is the people" has
taken a decided step in this direction,
the effects of which other common
wealths may do we'll to thoughtfully
consider. The Minnesota plan embraces
two ideas combined in one procedure
called "a primary election" Idea No.
is that the people shall do their own
nominating instead of delegating that
duty to conventions. Idea No. 2 is that
they shall do their nominating almost
exactly as they do their electing, with
all the conveniences and safeguards
now found on the general election day
and with all parties doing the work at
the same time and in the same place.
We have this idea we'll developed in
our primary system in South Carolina
as to the Democratic party.
In carrying out the second idea bal
lot is provided for each party, and as
ho f0 fhn Ia ,,f
name which party ballot he wants. If
required he must take oath that in gen.
eral he supported the ticket Of that par
ty at the last election and means to
support it at the coming election. A
convert, then, must abstain from eau
cuses for year, sort of political PEN
ance of a season for prayerful medita-
tion that any neophyte ought to expect.
The more practical phase Of it is that
this lessons the chance Of packing a
primary with voters of another party.
This plan of primary elections is
no longer an experiment, but has
proved entirely satisfactory in practi-
cal operation. Speaking of it, writer
in The National Magazine says: THE
Minnesota plan lets and man be a can
didate who will pay small fee for hav-
ing his name put on the ballot. Parlor
caucuses cannot dictate nominations.
The machine candidate stands no better
chance than any other candidate. No
aspirant need put himself under obli-
cations to ring or boss or corporation
before he will have a ghost of a Show
Nominees will go to the polls unham-
pered by promises. Those elected will
fill their offices with obligations only
to the electors, the people. Political
debts will no longer clog and hamper
and embarrass."
Manifestly in a Republican form of
government the political methods which
give the people the largest opportunity
to express their will and have'it carried
into effect is most in harmony with the
spirit of our institutions. Frequently

DEMAND FOR GOOD HORSES.
Prices Have Advanced Recently 20
to 25 Per Cent.

Prfces Have Advanced Recently 20
to 25 Per Cent.
A decided improvement has taken
place in the sale Of horses during the
past two weeks. The sales have al
most been doubled. There Is now a
demand for good strong. farming and
working horses, and the consignments
from the west and Pennsylvania of
draught. chunks, business and acclim-
ated animals have met with ready
sale. The consignments inside the past
few weeks have been good, and an aver
age of 800 horses have been shipped
weekly to local markets. Owing to the
low prices tnat have ruled for the past
few years some Of the western farmers
have not given so much attention to
stock raising. In consequence there has
been a scarcity Of western animals.
Within the past two weeks prices have
increased 20 to 25 per cent. In West
Philadelphia 400 horses were disposed of
at one horse bazaar, while another sale
stable reports sale Of nearly 500. The
Adams Express company Is now seek
ing a number Of good strong general
business horses, and being unable to
get what they require here are sending
west for them.
Recent sales have been made at these
prices: Farming horses, $135 to $3.50;
business horses, s1OO to $l25; draught
horses. s1O0 to $125, and mules, $50 to
$50. These prices are for good, sound
and sturdy stock. Acclimated horses
have found a sale at SIS to $125. Most
of these animals come from this state
and New Jersey.
OF the better class horses, which in
cludes drivers, PAGERS, trotters and car
riage pairs, there has been a steady
sale for the past two weeks. At some
of the recent combination sales the
prices secured have been good. Car

were heartily approved.
Silas C. Herring. of Pittsburg, who
was occupying the seat Of Representa-

ranged schedule on the speakers desk
to offer a privileged resolution from the
committee on rules. The resolution,
first, that the pages of the house
should be put on the annual roll in
stead of being merely session employ
ees and that incidentally they should
hereafter receive $3.50 month instead
of SIS, and he allowed two months ex-
ira pay each year. The resolution was
received with hearty applause and was
about to be passed by acclamation
when Jacob Beder, of Ohio demanded a
vote by "tellers." Speaker Hollings-

tones that the motion was "dilatory"

to supply 1000 tons of ore to the Gran

Nothing definite is known here as to
when work will be resumed.
The outlook of the coke supply for
the smelters is not encouraging since
the Michel coal coal miners went on
a strike last week, but the CRANKY
smelter has yet a four days supply on
hand, by which time it is hoped some
adjustment will have been had.

the building of tramway to connect
Phoenix with Greenwood. The road
will be operated by electricity, now
that the Cascade Water Power & Light
company has its power lines to Phoe-
nix nearly ready to deliver electrical
energy.
Owing to the continued shortage of
coke the ore shipments from the
Boundary mines are still comparative
Iy small. No ore is going to or being
treated at either the Mother Lode or
the Sunset smelters. The CRANKY is
the only smelter now running in that
section, The weeks record. however,
shows 1000 tons sent out and treated
as follows: CRANKY Mines 1880 tons,
Emma 357 tons, Jewell 263 tons. The
total for the year aggregates 1861
tons.
