OTHER PEOPLES NOTIONS.
Primary Election Law.

To the Editor Of The Journal.
An article which appeared in your paper
of the 10th in regard to the primary cleo
ton law of the last session Of our legis-
lature gave the points in favor of the law
in question as we'll perhaps as they can
be stated
Certainly it is just both sides of the
matter should be fairly considered and If
that statute is a, necessary one that 1t
should be sustained.
To me it appears that the reasons
against it far outweigh those in its favor.
According to the Interpretation officially
given to it's provisions a man must be
affiliated with some one of the political
parties to have a; right to participate in
a primary election. He must be a! :radi-
cal partizan. a republican, a democrat or
a member of some one of the political or
ganizations in the state or be corrupt
enough to state falsely under oath that he
is such. and not only: that but that he
will support the successful competitor for
the nomination, whether he is a good man
or otherwise, whether he believes. :, him
competent or incompetent.
For the purpose Of partizan politics per-
haps this may be we'll enough, but is
this the surest way to secure good gov
ernment for the people?
Under the operation of our new law it
hardly looks as if many Of the intelligent,
chance to express their preference for
the candidates for the several offices to
be elected. They may have their choice
of several candidates who have paid their
money to the county auditor or the official
appointed to receive it and bought their
right at the price fixed, to receive the
votes of such as are affiliated with their
party, and the affiliated may vote for
them and them only. All others are ex-
cluded.
This system is calculated to drive men
into parties and fill the Offices with men
who make office getting the business Of
life, rather than one likely to secure the
services of the best talent and the highest
integrity. A man once eminent and wise
once declared that 1.-The office should seek
the man, not the man the Office" but
| our state has by legislative enactment de-
clared that none but office seekers shall
hold office here.
Some wrong may at times exist un-
der, the convention system Of nominating
candidates, but it is largely exaggerated
no doubt and the remedy is in the hands
Of the voter and if he does not exercise
it he has only himself to blame. That a
is a confession an intelligent voter should
not feel proud to make. '..
A convention has the chance to sit down
very hard on an unworthy aspirant; and
not unfrequently rejects all clanoring for
| the place, selecting their own choice and
giving the go-by to the inportunate
Not so with the primary law method. The
aspirants have purchased the right to
be voted for and the best the voter can
do is to take his choice among the rivals.

as to tell tales out of his studio. This artist
designs hosiery chiefly for fair, fastidious and
extravagant beauties. These women will
only wear stockings the patterns of which
are unique, and they obtain the copyright of
the design. One customer insisted upon hav-
ing delicate hose embroidered with a serpent
having two pearls for its eyes. Other art
stockings decorated, with perfect imita-
tons of flowers embroidered in colors, yiolets

verer tastes prefer black lace with jewel en-
broidery' The artist in question charges any
price from "a francs upward for a pair Of
stockings.

$4,000 TO HIS EMPLOYEES.
j. Pierpont Morsan's New Years
GIFTS LARGEST on Record.

New York Herald: Employees I'm the Of
flee of j. =. Morgan & Co. were made
supremacy happy yesterday by the record
breaking act Of generosity Of Mr.. Nor
gan. Every man In his employ received a
New Years gift Of exactly 100 per cent or
his salary. Many were the expressions
heard Of good will and kindly feeling
toward Mr.. Morgan as a result OF his
munifcence. At Christmas the clerks ana
employees generally expected that the hrm
would follow its usual custom and give n
bonus at the end OF the year. but none
expected q distribution so liberal as that
made yesterday.
From the office boy TO the specialist In
bonds and the heads Of departments, a
check was given equal to his entire years
salary. That is to say, the bond expert
or loan clerk who received a yearly salary
of $40, 600, received from Mr.. Morgan yes
terday q check for $4,000. The little Of
flee boy, who begins his Wall street ca
reer at $40 a month, was made happy with
"A check for $3.50.
This Is the largest distribution of profits
ever given by a financial house In the his
tory Of Wall street.
When the IN Of the various
Christmas gifts were made shortly before
Christmas, 1t was said that j. p. Nor
gan d Co.. would distribute about 500, 600
among their employees. This estimate was
far too little, 1t is now admitted, and the
amount they will give as a bonus TO theif
clerks is nearer $25O.000.

NEITHER LACKS NERVE.
Both TiiImen and Mclaurin Courage
Gus In TheIr Hostility.

Washington, March 3.--It took n
western nan to break the hold which
which McLaurin and Tillman clinched
In their fight I'm the senate Saturday.
Senator Warren OF Wyoming sits di-
rectly across the af-le from TIllman.
He is more than six feet tall and very
strong. with the western instinct he
threw one muscular arm around Till
mans body and the other around his
neck. Tillman struggled to loosen War
ren's hold, but Warren lifted him and
literally carried him back to his seat.
Senator McLaurin was born In MARI
borough county, South Carolina, and
his county sent hin to the Legislature
when he was "a. While McLaurln was
in school Tillman was paying his own
bills Mt college and working hard to
do IL. BY the time McLaurin had
reached the Legislature Tillman had
worked himself into the candidacy for
nomination as governor. 1t was in this
campaign, In the fall Of 1890, that the
two men first became associated IN
politics. Tillman was on the ticket as
candidate for governor and
as n candidate for the legislature. ON
the opposition ticket to Tillman In this
campaign was a candidate named Yo-
man, who worked for Tillman's de-
feat. He employed Tillman's own
bukl ld lblllpl ~ '' 1870

Tillman himself. Some OF Tillman's
friends advised him to pull out OF the
fight rather than suffer defeat, but
others, among them McLaurin, boil

him. When in the Legislature less than
n year the attorney general OF the
state was appointed to the bench ana
NcLaurin was appointed to succeed
him. This position was the stepping
stone to the lower house OF congress-,
and he was appointed United states
senator in 1897 to fill the vacancy
caused by the death OF Senator Earle.
The friction between McLaurin ana
Tillman dates back to 1894, when NC
Laurin was in the house and Tillman
in the senate. The break was In a
caucus of the South Carolina demo-
Gratis In Washington. McLaurin,
wearied by Tillman's abrupt, drastic
methods, characterized him as a De
structive genius, without whose medi-
cine the state would be better OF, Tor
the old lady needed a rest since that
time there has been n quarrel
the two men. McLaurin has made
harsh accusations against his col
league, but they have been open. he
has not met with the same treatment
from Tillman, otherwise the fight In
the senate chamber would not nave
occurred.
There is some talk thai the conclu-
sion of the fight between the two men
will be on the dueling field or In a per-
sonal encounter in which deadly
will be used. whatever may
occnr II is certain that neither will
be found wanting in courage.

The Force of Vibration.

indianapolis News: What force
least expected does the greatest dam
age to buildings?" q News representa-
tive asked a we'll known architect.
1T is difficult to tell, but l Will VEN
ture to say that you would never eX-
pect violin playing to injure the walls
of a building. Yet that is certainly the
case. There have been instances when
the walls of stone and brick structures
have been seriously impaired by the
vibrations from q violin. or course
these cases are unusual, but the facts
are established. The vibrations OF n
violin are something terrible in their
unseen, unbound force, and when they
come in contact with regularity they
bear their influence upon structures Of
stone, brick or iron. OF course ii takes
continuous playing for many years to
loosen masonry or to make iron brittle,
but tina result is obtained. In the
great Masonic Temple in Chicago L
have thought Of what the result might
be if a man would stand on the first
floor, at the bottom OF the nineteen
story light well, n play there con-
tinuously. The result could be more
easily seen there than almost any place
else, because the vibration gathers
force as ii sweeps upward. A man can
feel the vibrations of a violin IN an
ironclad ocean vessel, and at the same
time be unable to hear the music. 1t
is the regularity of the vibration which
means so much. Like the constant
dripping of water wearing away a
stone, the incessant vibration of the
violin makes its way to the walls, and
attacks their solidity."
But why doesn't this vibration af-
feet the player?"
Because a man is a flexible object.
He can give way to motion and resume

because the timbers are flexible. But it
is different with masonry.
You may nave noticed that n dog
crossing the room will shake the entire
building no matter how small the dog.
A dog can shake a suspension bridge.
There are some great and valuable
bridges which dogs are never allowed
TO cross, except when carried, You
see, in that case it is the regularity Of
the vibration that is so powerful. The
dogs movement is a fixed and positive
institution. The first step on the bridge
is not noticed so much, but every step
just alike, at the same interval,
and with the same firmness. The force
gathers momentum, and each step
makes the bridge sway more. But
there is another way that 1t may per-
haps be illustrated better. AS you sit
there raise n foot partially on tip
toe. That's IT.. Now work your knee
up and down rapidly and regularly.
See how everything in the room rattles
and the 1oor shakes? That illustrates
the dog steps power better thar any

TREATMENT FOR LoCKJAW.
Tetanus Anti-ToxIn Injected Into the
Thick Muscles OF a Mans Back.

New York World: Trenton-The man
ner In which former Councilman William
Chumar was saved from death by lockjaw
will attract the attention of the medical
profession all over tae country. He was
given sixty cubic ~centimetres OF tetanus
anti-toxln, fifteen centimetres at an in
lection. The serum was injected into the
thick muscles OF the back. 1t is claimed
tina this treatment is new and is better
than that Of the new Paris method. A
queer feature of the case is that a broken
tooth figures largely In the cure.
Mr.. Chumar cut his finger three weeks
ago while moving a piano at his home,
and tetanus germs were noticed. He suf-
fered much pain, his jaws locked firmly,
and spasms began. He was taken to st.
Francis hospital and grew worse, and the
physicians were exceedingly doubtful as
to their ability to save his life. He had
a broken tooth, and through this food
was given him by the insertion of a mar
row tube.
DR.. Martin II. Reddan Of the medical
staff of ST. Francis's hospital, reviewed
the case in view of the claim OF DR.. Bauer
of Paris, which was cabled yesterday. DR..
Bauer was credited with the cure of a
case of lockjaw by the use of picnic acid,
which was recently applied in Italy for
pneumonia. DR.. Reddan, when shown the
~cablegram, said:
while l do not care to say anything
about the merits or dement's Of the Paris
method, the treatment followed In the
case of Mr.. Chumar was different. The
patient was given sixty cubic
of tetanus anti-toxin, fifteen centimetres
at an injection. The serum was injected
in the thick muscles Of the back with a
large anti-toxin syringe. There was an
Improvement within two days, the spasms
being less frequent and the patient being
gradually freed from the awful cramr
that held him In a vise-like grip. The
theory Of this treatment is based on te-
tanus being a germ disease and the serum
killing the germ"
This is the third case that st. Francis
hospital has had. Two patients recovered
and one died. Mr.. Chumar will probably
leave the hospital In a few days.

GREAT SIOUX RESERVE.
Settlement With the Indians 10 Re-
mote, Says Hitchcock.

Washington, March 3.-Sen. Gamble
and Representative Burke have re-
ceived letters from the secretary OF the
interior which in effect say hat there
can be no settlement with the Sioux
for the remainder OF the lands In the
Great Sioux reservation, coded to the
government In 1899, for some time TO
come. The secretary say that there
still remain approximately 10000 acres
TO be surveyed, for which contracts
ave already been let. The surveys
annot be completed until next sum
mer. when a complete accounting Will
be made. Under the terms OF h treaty
the Indians were TO be paid so cents an
acre by the government for all lands
unoccupied at the expiration OF ten
years from the ratification Of the
treaty, except for sections 16 and 36,
known as state school lands, for which
they were TO receive $1.25 an acre. 1t is
TO determine which are school lands
that the surveys are to be made Sec
rotary Hitchcock says that as soon as
the surveys are completed he will d.
rect the commissioner Of Indian affairs
and the commissioners Of the general
land office to make an accounting so
that congress may provide the amount
needed TO square the government with
the Sioux.
