primary election bill. | submit the follow
ing brief outline of what regard as the es-
sential framework Of the proposed meas
ure:
Il. Nomination of candidates by direct
vote.
'.2. The primary election for the two
leading parties should be on the some day
and under the same election officers. This
is the surest means OF preventing repeat
ing, and Is the most economical
''3. Primary elections should be con-
Quoted under all safeguards provided for
final elections.
a. The necessary expenses of the pri-
mary election should be paid from pub
lie funds, but it may be we'll TO provide
for a reasonable assessment on candidates
who seek nominations for the purpose of
partially defraying such expenses
5. The law should provide for nomi-
nation by second-choice votes when there
is a minority OF first-choice votes.

Had Judge Taylor Beattie been
born in Benares, India, we have no
doubt he would TO- day be performing
feats OF occult science before admir-
ing multitudes. Making the mango
tree grow would be mere child's play
to a man who can handle the attitude
Of the Republican party on reeipro-
city in the Snow you see it, now
you don't' style he did in his speech
here recently.
Listening to the distinguished
judges logical pleadings and dis
carding the facts and the evidence
one would naturally conclude that it
was the Democratic party and not
President Roosevelt and the admins
tration which was trying to crowd
reciprocity with Cuba down the
throat of congress. That it was the
Republican party and not the Demo-
Gratis and handful of insurgent Re-
publicans who defeated this pet
measure Of the administration. He
failed to tell his auditors that these
Republican ssboxers'' or "insur-
gents'' who held out for the protec-
tion of the beet sugar industry were
nearly all defeated for denomination
10 their own party.
In the event of Democratic success
| there would be no occasion to dis
turb the present tariff on raw sugar.
1t is an ideal article of revenue. Re-
fined sugar being a trust product,
controlled by q giant, grasping,
monopoly, might suffer. But Louis
lana planters make only raw sugar.

The Wrong Connection.

The telephone girl and the bill
clerk, to whom she had promised her
heart and hand, were sitting in front
of the fire place talking about the
happy days to come when they would
be one. From one little detail to
another the talk finally drifted to the
subject of lighting the fires in the
morning. On this point the young
man was decided. He stated 1t as
his emphatic opinion that it was o
wife's place to get up and start the
fires and let her poor, Woodworking
husband rest.
After this declaration there wal
silence for the space of about three
quarters of a second. Then tht
telephone girl thrust out the finge
encircled by her engagement ring ane
murmured sweetly, but firmly:
"Ring OFF please. You have go
connected with the wrong party. -

Some Straight Talk.

President Baer, Of the Reading
Railroad and big coal baron, 10 o
man for whom we have no admira-
tion. But we must heartily COM
mend his plain talk to Governor
Odell and Senators Plstt, Quay and
Penrose at the conference the other
day in New York, when he told these
worthless: II do say and l reiterate
it, that we will not accept political
advice or tolerate the interference Of
politicians in this our affair."
This is pretty plain talk. Odell
and the whole gang of politicians do
not give a cuss for the situation. It's
the votes they are afraid OF losing.
Baer is to be congratulated in having
the backbone to tell these fellows the
truth.
The miserable farce in New Or
leans, where lot of lawless strikers
were permitted to paraIyze the inter-
nal traffic Of that great city, inaicting
heavy losses in business and trade,
destroy property and murderously
assault peaceful citizens who offered
no provocation, is all due to the crimi-
nal temporizing by the constituted
civil authorities, and today the very
men they were actively endeavoring
to befriend are denouncing the
mayor and governor.
If ever the Republic is destroyed
and despotic dynastyis established
on its ruins, the accursed penthouse
politicians will be the fellows who
grease the "shoot the chutes" that
| carry to the "facilis descensus
Averni."

While our missionaries are risking
their lives in spreading the great
truths of the gospel in China and
other foreign countries, 10! the
heather law makers of our Capital
City have forbidden the preaching of
the gospel in public places. Is it
any wonder that our legislature sit
ting in such an un-Godly place
should escape the wrath Of the right
eous and the Times-Democrat? Bro.
McGrath. of the Truth, harpoons
the heathen in this happy style:
"On Tuesday notice appeared in
Truth stating that Mr.. Mike Gilday
would hold religious services at the
corner of Third and Main streets,
but after publication aud before the
hour fixed for the preaching, that
gentleman learned that a city ordi-
nance was in force forbidding reli-
gious services in public places.
While we do not believe in shouting
ones religion from the house tops, or
in displaying extraordinary Chris
tian zeal at street corners, we fail to
see why a religious enthuslast-crank
il you will-should not be granted
the same measure of street freedom as
an organ grinder with monkey, a
travelling montebaLk or a three card
monte shark, and yet we have time
and again seen musicians, medicine
fakirs, vendors of patent fly traps
and kindred humbugs, to say nothing
of brass bands and blaring trumpets,
occupying the same corner, even on
the Sabbath, while at the same time
to publicly testify to ones reforma-
ton and Christian belief was a viola
ton of city ordinances which carried
with it fine and Imprisonment.
Lordy! but such inconsistency, such
discrimination against moral in
huences make US exceedingly tired.
While as we said we do not approve
of emotional and sensational exhibi.
tions of religious spirit, we dc
do think Christian should enjoy a:
| much liberty on public streets as
wandering minstrel of the accordeor
stripe, which we noticed week o.
two ago occupying the identical spo
selected by Mr.. Gilday for hi
preaching. A community which il
afraid that the preaching OF Mix
GiIday will have baneful effect up
on its welfare would suffer an cpl
demic of nervous prostration were
band of the Salvation Amy to ap
per IN their midst"

The compromise settlement Of the
street car strike in New Orleans is not
entirely satisfactory. 1t seems as
though the strikers got the shot end"
of 1t; as the Railways Company has
cut down the number of crews, and

cases before the Circuit Court Of Ap-
! peals.

Third-Because it increases the
lower limit of the jurisdiction Of the
Supreme Court to a sum which
practically debars the people OF the
country parishes from the benefits oi
that court.
| Fourth-That it will tend to pro-
mote different systems OF jurispru'
dence in different localities in the
State.
Fifth~-Because the adjudication
of Circuit Court cases will not be re
ported under said Amendment anG
the Bar and the people will lose th'
benefit of its rulings.
Because the Circuit Cour
as proposed under said Amendmen
will not have the proper libraries ant
facilities for properly adjudicatinI
cases brought before it.
Seyenth-Because said proposed
Amendment will cut off the poo
people from the benefits of the high
est court in the State.
Wherefore we recommend and ad
; wise all citizens and voters in th
parish of Vermilion and Throughout
the State, vote against all propose'
Amendments touching the Judi
ciary.

The diamond drill., 1902-08-23

scarce all over the country but ii is a
fact that Crystal Falls is in worse
shape than any of the other towns on
the range and one of the greatest
causes for it IL the scarcity OF houses in
this city. There are no places for men
to live in if they come here. The fact
was brought out very forceably during
the past two weeks in canvassing for
houses for several families that are to
be brought here by the woodenware
company. They can t come for they
can not get any houses TO live in. The
same Is true Of the miners, they don
want 70 come here as they can find no
places for their families Nor does
there seem 10 b. any effort mdt t. r.
lieye the congestion There are no
residences being erected. Men who
have few dollars refuse to invest
them in buildings bcause Of the uncer-
tainty that exists among the laboring
men as 70 the permanency Of the de
mand We believe FOR this condition
of affairs the mining companis are
somewhat to blame They do not turn
their attention to assisting men of
families to get houses either by build
ing residences or assisting a building
of residences by the men themselves
ON the Marquette range the mining
companies give the men assistance in
this line and as a result they have
good grade Of miners who are kept
there because they have homes ana
don't want to leave, even though
tempted by higher wages elsewhere.
If our mining companies would turn
their attention to advancing the erec-
tion of homes here they would keep
the good men that they get and get
more until we would have commun-
ity OF as good miners as can be found
anywhere.

THOUSAND MEN WANTED.
Crystal Falls can Give Employment TO
That Number. Mining Compa MES
Advertising Tor Help.

There were gotten out at this Office
during the week advertising matter
for the Crystal Falls Iron Mining com
pany which is badly in need OF help.
This concern alone advertises for 500
men to work at it's mines in this city.
The circulars were sent TO the copper
country and TO the east, principally,
but every nook and corner Of the couu-
try where miners are Known 70 exist
will be canvassed ia an EFFORT to get
the men required to work ~ the mines
about here. The primary cause Of
this advertising for men Is due to the
reopening Of the Great Western mine
which has been idle for two years and
which, when in operation requires
from three to four hundred men 20
keep il going to the limit Of its capac-
ity. But il is not the Great Western
alone that is shy Of workmen. The
Crystal Falls mine, the biggest pro-
ducer in the district is badly handi
capped for men. especially trammers
SO bad off are the operators for M en-
at this property that is is likely to cut
a big hole into the output, unless, of
course, the-difficiency should be filled
soon. At the Dunn mine where some
mining is TO be done and at the La
mont where mining has just been re-
sumed, they are short Of men.
But the Corrigan- Mckinney people
are nbt the only ones that are shy of
help. The other mining companies
in the district also complain of the
scarcity OF help. The Oliver Mining
company is not in need Of great deal
of help just at the present time as they
are doing lot OF dead work, especially
- the Mansfield.
In addition to the deficiency at the
mines, great scarcity exists about
town. The contractor could put a
large force at work on the water pow
or construction. II is probable that he
will have to import some from with

work OF one OF two hundred more
men. SO, it is safe to say that 1000
men can be taken care of in the Crys
