RTRAL PRIMARIES.

Governor Odell has acted wisely in signing tie
bill 10 extend the provisions Of the primary
law to the rural towns of Monroe and several
other counties of the State. The Tribune has
frequently pointed out the fact that the primary
law confined in its compulsory operation 10
towns Of five thousand or more people, fails 10
accomplish the purpose Of its trainers 10 secure
for the whole State honest and representative
management OF parties. They were apparently
under the delusion that the packing of primaries
was distinctively a city vice though as a matter
of fact some Of the most highhanded outrages
on representative institutions have been perpe-
trated in quiet country villages. A few years
ago the county judge OF GeLesee County APP
peared before a county convention and scath-
ingly denounced the methods by which the
delegates before him had been elected. and no
man dared TO deny the truth Of his accusations
Of bribery and fraudulent voting. In the coun-
ties containing cities corruption is even more
noticeable. The city politicians want the aid OF
the neghboring town delegations, and in fac
tional contests often find these holding the bal
ance of power Money is sent out in large
quantities to tempt farm laborers and others,
and not infreQuenty cauCuses of one party are
overwhelmed by voters Of the other. Instances
are on record where in exciting contests the
vote cast at a rural primary has exceeded the
JOIdl Young pOpuldUOn OF Jne tOWn, ana OIten
it has exceeded the party vote at election, show
ing plainly the participation of the opposition
in the caucus.
1t is an open question just how far primary
regulation should go. Personal registration wa
required in the cities before any registration at
all enforced in the country districts. The
theory was that everybody knew everybody else
in these and there could be no fraudulent voting
However true this might be with regard To re-
mote towns it not true with regard to sub
urban villages, though there has probably been
less fraudulent voting in them at elections than
at primaries. Registration is now everywhere
required, and it is proper to follow with pri-
law may be unnecessarily elaborate for some
country communities. Believing this to be the
case, Governor Odell last year vetoed a bill of
somewhat similar character to the one
signed, but 1t is of the most excellent traits
of the present Executive that he learns things
and is not afraid to act on new knowledge
through fear Of seeming inconsistency. He has
found that the lack of any method of Identify

area. IF the law is found to meet expectations
it may be wise to extend it to cover the whole

The wisdom of our governments adopting
retaliatory policy with regard to the importation
OF food products because Germany prohibits
the importation Of meats containing boracic
acid and similar preservatives is open to
question, but there can be no harm in an in
vestigation into the character Of our purchases
OF food from abroad and making the widest
publication OF the facts. SaicyIic, boracic and
benzoic acids may be proper constituents Of
human food. If so, let them by all means be
put in our beef and hams and sausages. But
by all means let US know that they are there
and have our choice between meats so pre-
served and meats which may not taste so good
or be so cheap, but which we have a right to
use If we want them.
The use of preservatives in itself is not OBJ
iectionable. What is objectionable is the Sc
cret use Of them on goods sold as free from
them, and the manufacturers of food products
the world over seem bent on deceiving their
customers and determined against any stand
ards which will compel them to put their goods
on the market for what they are They say it
IS necessary to use what the world calls adul-
terants in order TO meet the taste Of their Gus
toners. Goods would not have the right color
or flavor otherwise, and the adulterants are
used not for cheaDness but from necessity
Very well Let them put on the goods a rec
ora OF IllS TACT IL the result suits the DODu-
lar taste no harm is done. If on the contrary
pure goods are preferred in spite of color, such
goods can be supplied. The manufacturer will
be saved from the adulterating necessity which
he now bewails. BY all means, then let us
know who uses adulterants either in domestic
or foreign food products. even though we NAV
not desire TO enter into n campaign Of retail.
atory exclusion.
This trouble over the entry Of 'embalmed-
meats into Germany has its humorous aspect
There is not a meat packer in the United
States who will frankly acknowledge the use
of boracic acid or any such preservatiye. If the
government chemist finds IL in his canned beef
as a government chemist recently die in sew
eral instances, protest will be made that no
such thing is used few packers will under
pressure, admit that they use just trife in
making sausage and some other things of that
kind 10 preserve the meat through the compli-
Gated operations Of manufacture before il is
self-keeping. They say this is necessary. but
the fact remains that people made sausages
and other fancy food products, and had them
geep perfectly, for centuries before any cheIll-
cal preservative was discovered Make what
excuses they will, the use Of preservatiYes by
packers is not necessary with proper methods
OF manufacture, however useful they may be
TO secure speed and cheapness.

AN ENGLISH INVASION,

These spring days should be stirring the blood
of the golfer and inspiring him to fresh attacks
upon Colonel Bogie; and in club smoking rooms
you may-but rarely-hear the seasoned devotee
OF the royal and ancient game babhling of green
fields from force OF annual custom. The sport
ing pages of the newspapers to be sure, speak
vaguely Of matches to come new courses to be
laid out and the doings of champions on South
ern links; but the unpreiudiced observer is
struck by the hollowness of it all. He sees the
perfunctoriness Of the golf editors perform
ances, and he detects the false ring in the
veterans enthusiasm. He knows that the
foundations of Bridge land therefore of Society
are threatened by an insidious sapping and
mining force. In a word. ping pong IS among us
1t is too true. From the humble beginning of

lids for bats and champagne corks for balls the

WING SHOTS IN NEW-JERSEY.

Friends of humanity in New-Jersey are fear
full that the bill to prevent the shooting OF
trapped pigeons may fail of passage at this
session of the legislature in Trenton. To quote
the expressive language Of an expert who Is
familiar with every detail Of the subject, the
proposed act may have its neck wrung in COM
mittee or be shot to pieces on the floor 1neSe
words are apt and appropriate with respect to
a measure which was prepared and introduced
with the hope that the shooting TO pieces and
the wringing of necks of helpless birds might
be prevented in our neighboring State. What
argument has been made public to excuse the
slaughter of doves by trap shots, when it IS
plain that the smashing of clay pigeons Will
afford ample opportunity for betting on the
craftsmanship of masters of the fowlng piece?
No convincing reason can be cOnjured up why
they must have a living mark. a dazed and
agorzed creature with a heart throbbing wildly
in q torture of fear.
In the Empire State hereafter the promoters
of matches and tournaments arranged to settle
disputed questions Of craftsmanship over the
traps must content themselves with lifeless
marks. But they will not be badly off. Clay
pigeons are not to be despised as targets. Even
if they are inanimate they tumble about in
deceitful and disConcerting manner when they
are hurled from the traps. And If clay pigeons
are the objects TO he shot at between Montauk
Point and Lake Erie, they ought to be sufficient
for the crack trap shots between Weehawken
and Wilmington. NewYOrk has decided the
question in the right way, after deliberate and
careful consideration of the whole matter
Unless New-Jersey follows that example, the
slaughter of the pigeons will be carried over
the Hudson River The people Of our neighbor-
ing commonwealth have as a rule, been sensi-
IL al oP f.tfY, Y,,r
victims. Organizations for the prevention Of
cruelty to animals have been numerous, hard
working and efficient in New-Jersey. Men
and women OF good hearts and sound feelings
should see 10 it that New-Jersey shall not suffer
a reproach from which NewYork has been re-
lieved. The shooting of trapped birds IS nde-
fensble cruelty. and NewJersey will surely be
come its chief centre unless the legislature st
Trenton takes proper action.

convenient to give them after diverting what
ever they want to their own uses. This great
est commercial State of the continent ought TO
have the strictest laws TO safeguard invest

our rule has been TO make it easy for the ma
nipulator. on the theory that it promoted pusl-

meats to Germany free from boracic acid. so
much the worse for the American packer. If.
on the other hand the German packer is equal
ly tricky and not only feeds his compatriots
with boracic acid. but also tries TO feed us
with it. let the fact be made known. If the
Germans will kindly tell us who of our manu-
facturers adulterate food. and we tell them
who among them indulge in the same practice
we may all be the gamers. Then if Germans
and Americans want TO continue eating boracic
acid put up at home they can enjoy the privi-
lege Only let them know the privilege they
enjoy. Messieurs, the packers, should not in
modesty insist comforting the favor in the

London mothers have in some way acquired
the noticn that the air OF the underground tun-

including Group. whoopng cough. wind collie and
teething, and some of them ride to and fro with
their little charges day by day for no other rea-
son than TO submit them to its supposed cura-
tive influences. The theory. of course is pure
illusion, and English medical men advance vari-
explanations Of it's origin. none of them
overplausible. The London Telegraph" hopes
that these credulous females will not take it into
their heads that tunnel travel is likewise sub
