The Crittenden Press, one Of thu

ton of the Ringsters:
Primary elections, and conven-
tions, for that matter, are held for
the benefit of the party, for the con-
venience of the voter, rank and file.
A group of individuals, embracing
men of many avocations, hold to
certain political tenets, believing
that the application of these tenets
in the administration Of government
brings the greatest good to the
greatest number of people, them
selves included. TO accomplish
this purpose they select the stand
ard.bearers to be voted for, that
there may be unity of action, to pre-
vent the success of another group
that holds to other tenets. Thus
primaries or conventions become
necessary for the good of the cause,
and, as it's the people who rally to
that cause, expecting TO he bene-
flied and giving rise to the neces-
sity for primaries, they should bear
the expenses. This, 1t seems to us,
is common sense, common law and
equity. The candidate, in the ar
and perfecting of these
plans, is and should be merely an
incident, and should not come in as
an issue at this juncture. Now
when every man in the party ex-
poets TO be benefited, directly or
indirectly, personally or as an in

a little of his time, or its equiva-

TO HARMONIzE INTERESTS
Compromise to he Recommended by
AmRIRamnted Association Gre
dentiaIs Committee.

WHEELING, w. Va. April IA re-
port from the Amalgamated associations
contested seats committee is expected this
afternoon, and meantime the convention
Is idle 1t is learned on good authority
that the committee will recommend a
compromise course in regard to the lodges
which have failed to pay assessments.
II will recommend a procedure in re-
gard to the offending lodges that will
not be regarded as a vindication of the
officers nor as a slap at the delinquents.
The fact is that the number of delinquents
is so large that 1t would not be wise for
the convention TO ruthlessly turn them
down, and at the same time It is recog-
pized the power OF the executive board
must be upheld.
1t is q delicate question to handle and
the committee is now looking for a way
to harmonic all opposing interests and to
settle the question in a way that will be
conducive Of good feeling on all Sides 1t
is understood that both factions have
agreed, in view of the proposed compro-
mise that they will not consider the result
victoIy one my or another, and that
after the question is disposed OF II Will
not be brought up in subsequent proceed
lngs. 1t is stated that one reason for the
compromise is that the delinquent lodges
threatened, IL turned down altogether, to
aflliate with Chicago lodges which have
been expelled and organize a rival organi-
zation.

REVIEWS THE CURFEW CRUSADE
Wants All Railroad Towns to
Adopt Ordinance.

KANSAS CITY, April 17.-Alexander
Hogeland, president of the National Curfew
association, is taking steps to extend the
curfew law to cities and towns along all
railroads In the United States. He has ad-
dressed a letter to Charles II. Winslow,
general secretary of the railroad branch of
the Young Mems Christian association
Kansas City, Mo-, inquiring If he cannot
arrange with the general managers of all
the trunk lines OF railway to place in the
hands OF the mayors and councils OF all
cities and towns on their respective lines
of railroad the curfew and one other ordi-
nance requiring city and town officials to
arrest all boy tramps and restore them to
their homes. President Hogeland thinks
the management Of all of the railways
will be glad to aid in getting the ordi-
nances referred to adopted as they are GER
tain TO prevent further recruits TO the
ranks Of the vast army Of American tramps
now swarming over the country.
President Hogeland says the ordinances
will lessen accidents to trains and protect
both life and property and they will greatly
curtail the liability of railways to prosecu-
tion for accidents. as we'll as to reduce the
army Of trsmps.

CONTROVERSY is REoPENED
OmciRI Dispatches Referring to De-
feat of British at spiOnkOp
Published.

LONDON, April 17-All the Official dis
patches referring 10 the defeat sustained by
the British troops under General Butler at
Spionkop, Natal, January "A, 1900, were
made public today. Those hitherto unpub-
lished merely emphasize how hopelessly
muddled were the preparations for that en-
gagement. The controversy between Gem
sral Butler and General Sir Charles Warren
ia proved to have been even more bitter
than previously hinted at. while new ex-
tract from one Of Lord Roberts dispatches
brings additional censure on General Bull
Ter.
Lord Roberts declares that General Bull
ler's endeavor to put the responsibility for
| the defeat on General Warren was not Jus
tihable. Roberts holds that II was Buffers
duty to intervene when he saw things were
going wrong. This remark was caused by a
dispatch from Butler In which he says:
1 saw no attempt on the part of Warren
! to either grapple with the situation or
command his force himself. We lost our
| chance by warren's slowness. He seems to
me to be man who can do well what he
| can do himself, but cannot command. !
can never employ him again on an inde-
t sSmsd co@mand ns"T myself % When I saw t things
were not going well. blame myself now
for not doing so.
Butler explains that he failed to super
cede Warren because It might have dis
credited the latter with the troops which
was an especially serious matter, as. II
Butler had been shot. Warren would have
succeeded to the supreme command.
The question OF the responsibility for the
actual retreat from spionkop lie shrouded
in a maze OF dispatches proving that q mis-
take was made in sending a heliogram and
that there was a general desire TO shirk the
onus. Beyond this washing Of dirty liner
nothing appears to have been accomplished
by the publication Of the dispatches.

BIG WHEAT CROP IN SIGHT
Yield Above Average and Equal TO
Last Years L. AnticI-
pated.

NEW YORK, April l7.-According to dis
patches to r. G. Dun & Co., the outlook is
encouraging for a large yield Of winter
wheat. At most points the acreage is
equal to or larger than last years, and
even in the few reports OF a decreased
area the loss is only put at 10 per cent,
while the most hopeful statements make
the increase 90 per cent. On the whole
there appears to have been little loss dur
ing the winter from weather conditions,
although at a few points the snow pro-
lection was light. Damage by insects is
also less serious than a year ago. The
least satisfactory feature thus far is the
lack Of moisture, which is causing anxiety
In a number Of states. With average
weather during the rest OF the season, how
ever, there is every reason to anticipate
a yield above the average, and probably
fully equal to last years large produc-
tion. The liberal demand and good prices
Of the Frevious season would naturally
tend to stimulate operations, so that re-
ports OF a large acreage were to be eX-
pected. but estimates OF condition are more
sanguine than the government report on
April /, which may be due to favorable
weather during the last few weeks.
