BURLESQUE CIRCUS.
Ejks' Lodge Will Pull Off New
and Novel Attraction.

The Elks' Circus, which shows
at the Tabernacle Tuesday, Octo-
Der 21, is the biggest aggregation
of the kind on the road, and fur
nishes amusement of an entirely
different nature from that of any
other big circus, such as Sell Bros 1,
Ringing or Forepaugh.
The big tent" covers the entire
theater, and the menagerie includes
rare specimens of performing ami
mails, whose intelligence is almost
human. Theremarkable feats per-
formed by the stupendous aggrega
tion of Elks have set the world to
wondering, but the audience may
rest assured that the entertainment
afforded will be perfectly safe. The
wild animals are all Gagged, and
could not get loose if they would,
while the tame ones will be permit
ted to run loose among the specta
tors and liven things up a bit.
Red lemonade will be permissible
and children may feed the elephants.
The chariot races will make the
world go round, and the man, wo-
man or child who misses the per-
Torrance will regret it ever after,
and will never hold his peace.

The rules of the Democracy of the
State do not authorize the Chairman
of the State Central Committee to
call State primary, but there is
no party law which forbids that
functionary to refrain from calling
for either precinct or county mass
conventions in order thatIthe sense
Of the voters of the State may be
ascertained in a State convention
as to the wisdom or unwisdom Of
holding a State primary.-Mayheld
Mirror.
This suggestion is practicable If
not feasible, but a convention to
amend the rules and provide a plat
form would not meet the greatest of
objections to the State primary
the expense. If the same conven-
tion could provide about $4,000 to
defray the expenses Of the primary
to be called under the amended
rules, there would be no serious OBJ
stacles in the way of a primary,
provided the candidates wanted to
submit their claims to such a
method of settlement.

Ben Ringo, who has put Up in
advance S475 for a primary election
nomination, with no opposition in
his race for commonwealth attor-

position to tell Jim Richardson
whether or not primary elections
are expensive. When the State
committee meets, Of which Ben is a
member, he ought to be pretty we'll
informed on the subject OF $4,000
primary elections in judicial dis
rricts for four counties.

The Democratic committee OF the
Judicial district composed of Da
viess. Ohio, Mclean and Hancock
counties has found it necessary to
increase the assessments of candi-
dates for the primary to be held
Nov. 4. The two candidates for
Judge have been raised $50 each
and the candidates for common
wealth's attorney SIS, making fhe
fee for Judges $3.50 each and for at
torney S475. The total assessment
is 81, ,975 for four counties, or about
$50 to the precinct. The same rate
for the whole State would make the
cost Of State primary more than
500, 900. Who said primary cleo
tions we're not expensive?

Opinions.

The agreement entered into by
the American and Imperial Tobac-
co Company for the settlement ol
the great Anglo-American Tobacco
war, and the formation of the new
British-American Tobacco Com
pany, have been the absorbing top
&c of discussion among the trade
during the past week. Just what
the new deal signifies and what ef'
feet 1t will have on the trade seems
to be a question which is variously
answered and the solution is not
yet apparent. Many believe that
there is more beneath the surface
than in sight.

THE VENEZUELAN MUDDLE.

THE VENEZUELAN MIDDLE.
If the present difficulty between
the republic Of Venezuela and the
British and German governments
IS settled without the United States
being drawn into the matter and al
practical test being made of the
Monore doctrine, it will be next TO
a miracle.
President Castro Of Venezuela
was negotiating for funds with
which to pay the British and Ger
man claims, and was in a fair way
TO secntr1e the money, when the
British and German governments
delivered to him an ultimatum
demanding immediate payment.
British and German ambassadors
went aboard their respective war
ships which had anchored in the
harbor to enforce the claims. This
aggravated Castro, and to make
the matter whrse the Germans and
English siezed four Venezuelan
vessels for their own use and dis
abled another one. They threat
to assume charge Of the Vene-
zeulan custom houses and thus
collect their claims, but Castro
proposes to meet this move, fit is
made, BY issuing a free trade proc
lamation abolishing all customs
duties. The question would then.
arise, how would the British and
Germans collect their claims with
out Seizure Of Venezuelan territory2
Or in case they should sieze the
little republics customs houses,
and assume the prerogatives Of the
Venezuelan government in the
leyying and collection Of customs
duties, would such an act not be
the Same as q Seizure Of territory,
and involve violation Of the Mon
roe doctrine2
These questions naturally pre-
sent themselves at this time, and

fact that Germany has never man
