THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.

The State Democratic committee at its
meeting last Saturday by unanimous
vote selected Thursday, June ., as the
day for the state primary.
The predictions that there would be
sharp differences in the committee on this
question failed completely. more har-
monious meeting, or one characterized
throughout by more pleasant feeling,
could not be desired.
The time chosen for the state nomina-
tions will be satisfactory TO the great
mass OF the voters. There can be no
complaint of snap" action, no reasona-
BILE claim that the committee acted with
partiality for any candidate.
Every Democratic candidate now out for
a state office has friends and supporters
on the committee and not one Of them
enterposed any objection to June as the
day Tor the choice OF the party's nominees
The manner In which the committee
transacted its business indicates that the
Georgia Democracy is in excellent shape.
There was no sort OF wrangle over ma
tional issues, as there was sure to be a
few years ago whenever Democrats met
to consider the party's proper policy.
Throughout the whole country like
feeling of Democratic harmony and good
will prevails. The day of Democratic dis
sentions is past. The party is facing the
future in more solid ranks and with more
confidence than 1t has had in years.
There is a beautiful prospect of gen.
eral Democratic revival this year which
viii result in the capture of the national
house OF representatives, the recovery of
several states which have in recent years
gone astray and the establishment of a
unity and enthusiasm among Democrats
that will carry the party to victory in the
/ next presidential election.

THE WAR TAXES.

The special taxes which were imposed
in July. 1898. on account of our little
brush with Spain. should have been re-
pealed long ago. They have been contin-
ued long after the governments reve-
nues went so far in excess of its expendt-
lures, even on a very extravagant scale,
that we were piling up a surplus of more
than 500, GEO. 600 a year as a temptation to
extravaganza and corruption.
The senate has at last passed war tax
revenue bill which will probably be pass
ed without important changes by the
house of representatives.
This bill removes all the remaining spe-
cial and stamp taxes except the excise on
bucket shops" This step is good as far
as it goes. but it is after all very slight
measure of relief from the federal over
taxation which the people of this country
are now enduring. The enormous surplus
that is being raked into the treasury will
continue to be a grievous and increasing
burden. The present administration will
refuse and deny all petitions for its re-
duction by the just and natural methods
of reducing tariff taxes. because that pol
icy would interfere with the precious
trusts and might enable the American
people to buy protected American goods
as cheap as the foreigner gets them
which, of course, would never do.
The compact between the trusts and the
party which depends upon them for its
campaign Doodle is in no danger of dis
ruption. The trusts will not break it be-
cause they have too good a thing as the
bargain stands. The republican party Will
live nm 20 il because there is a congress-
ional election coming on next fall and
the fat will have to be fried very freely
out of. the trusts to grease the way for
enough republican candidates to slip a
majority OF them into the next house.

TRUE GROWTH.

Wherewith the steadfast coraI-stems uprise,
Which, by the toll of gathering energies.

Man-EatinE LION.

The Living Animals OF the World"
which is so packed full Of anecdote and
lively descriptions OF strange, as we'll as
familiar animals, gives an interesting ac-
count of the terrible man-eating lions Of
Africa.
when lions grow old they are always
liable to become man-eaters. Finding their
strength failing them, and being no longer
able to hunt and pull down large antelopes
or zebras, they are driven by hunger to
killing small animals, such as porcupines,
and even tortoises, or they may visit a
native village and catch a goat or kill a
child or woman going for water; and ind-
ing a human being a very easy animal to
catch and kill, an old lion which has once
tasted human flesh will in all probability
continue to be a man-eater until he is
killed. On this subject, in his Missionary
Travels DR.. Livingston says: 'Man-eater
is invariably an old lion; and when he over
comes his fear of man so far as to come to
villages for goats, the people remark, His
teeth are worn; he will soon kill men,
They at once acknowledge the necessity Of
instant action, and turn out to kill him.

are taken by the greater part Of the natives
of Southern Africa to put an end to any

prevents these animals as a rule from be-
coming the formidable pests, which man
eating tigers appear to be in parts Of India.
But man-eating lions In Africa are not
invariably old animals. One which killed
thirty-seven human beings in 1887. on the
Majili River, to the northwest Of the Vic
toria Falls Of the Zambesi, was, when at
last he was killed. found to be an animal
In the prime Of life; whilst the celebrated
man-eaters Of the Tsavo River, In East
Africa, were also apparently strong, healthy
animals. These two man-eating lions
caused such CONSERVATION amongst the In
dia workmen on the Uganda Railway that
the work OF construction VS. considerably
retarded, the helpless coolies refusing to
remain any longer In a country where they
were liable to be eaten on any night by a
man-eating lion. Both these lions were at
last shot by one of the engineers on the
railway (Mr. ]. H. Patterson), but not
before they had killed and devoured twenty
eight Indian coolies, and an unknown num-

SCHEME TO PAY WITH CASH
Finance COMMITTEES Of Board Of EaScatiOH
Csntsmplatss a Saving.
WILL STOP SPECULATION IN WARRANTS
Board May Borrow Money ut Five
Per Cent and Cash seven Per
Cent Warrants rs soon
as Issued.

The finance committee Of the Board OF
Education is considering a proposition which
contemplates a revolution in the manner of
paying teachers, ~janitoTs and others en-
ployed at the schools and at the same time
a saving to the board of from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year. School warrants now carry
Z per cent interest, and, though they could
be fioated for much less than that, the rate
OF interest is fixed by the state law and
cannot be changed. The plan (. to borrow
money when necessary at 8 per cent interest
and take up the warrants as soon as they
are issued. The saving to the board will
be the difference between 5 per cent and
Z per cent interest. One Of the principal
banks of the city has volunteered to loan
to the board as much money as is needed at
the rate Of 5 per cent.
The plan of paying teachers and iauitors
In Z per cent warrants has developed a
rather picturesque custom in Omaha, and
one which, for obvious reasons, has re-
ceived little or no publicity. The high rate
Of interest made the warrants a particu-
larly tempting morsel to the various brok-
erage firms. A spirited rivalry sprang UP
among them. For a while It was the GUS
tom for the brokers to be In the office of
Secretary Burgess on the day the warrants
were issued and buy them up for cash.
An EnterprisInE shyIock.
Then one of the firms, more enterprising
than its competitors, executed a coup by
sending its agents to the schools a week
before pay day, where they bought UP all
OF the paper that was for sale, and when
the rival firms reported at the secretary's
office as usual It was to find that all Of the
warrants had been sold.
This firm. whose ONCE is at Sixteenth
and Farnam streets, has since enjoyed a
monopoly Of the school warrant business.
Every month 1t has bought up all the way
from $4,000 to $50, 900 worth Of the securi-
ties. The plan was to divide the sum INTO
three parts, of say $4,000 each, place each
part in a valise and, usually on the last
Friday OF the month, start three agents out
with the funds in three different directions.
Each agent had his territory mapped out
for him. He visited each school in his dis
trict and, through the principal, had the
teachers sign their warrants over to him,
whereupon he paid them cash in hand.
This system, If the present plan of the
finance committee is carried out, is doomed
to an early death, as the teachers and other
employees Of the board will be requested to
cash their warrants at the office of City
Treasurer Hennings.
