A Democratic Primary.
Birmingham News.

Birmingham News.
 The agitation for a primary has been in progress for some time. Almost every newspaper in the State has declared for if For q while loose aud indiscriminate use of terms in connection herewith was to be expected but latterly the persist ence with which certain newspapers are demanding a white primary to the eNclu- sion of a white Democratic primary m cites the suspicion that there is more noise than sincerity in their clamor A white primary, to which would be admit ted those who neither affiliate with nor pledge allegiance to the Democratic par tv, is out of the question.
 Against q white DcmocratE primary no sound objection can he urged. In Sup- port of a wide open white primary there is no sensible argument that can be ad-
 yanced. Such a primary would be an ab- surdity. It would be better to have a free-for-all race at the general election.
 What is wanted in Alabama Is white
 Democratic primary honestly conducted,
 in which every Democrat who desires may run with assurance of fair treat ment. and in which every Democrat who uarticipates may feel satisfied that the declared result is the free and honest voice of the Democrats of the state. The State Executive Committee could well ar ford to ignore the demand for white primary. when it could not in justice re- | fuse a white Democratic primary. The white primary advocates are playing into | the hands of those who desire tn perpet- ] nate the convention system

JUSTICE TO MIR. CLEVELAND.

In the session of Congress Immediately preceding the secoad inauguration of Mir.
 Cleveland there was an ehort made to repeal the silver purchase law which was
 threatening financial disaster to the
 country. Speaking of that enort The
 New York Journal of Commerce says;
 There were enough sound money men in
 rnngress to do it, but they had to be
 taken from both parties, and mere psrti-
 san feeling kept sufficient number from
 getting together on 4 matter when they
 knew to be of vital interest to the coun-
 trv Most of the Democrats were sil-
 yerites; most of the Republicans were
 sound money men. But the sound money
 RcpubIicans divided. A part, under the leadership ol Mir. Reed. united with the sound money Democrats tu anticipate the wishes of Mr. Cleveland and Mir Car usle. Bat the rest, under the leadership of A Western member. took the position ! that the Silver Purchase law was He- publican legislation, and it would be bad party politics for Republicans to repeal | one of their own acts in order to smooth
 the way for an incoming Democratic ! Administration. And yet inc Western 1 leader of this group uf members said II. i nriyatc conversation that Mir.

fsIlacy and danger of the free silver craze, and with the courage of a patriot he set himself to combat it.

Crop Report.

The week was dry, no rain hav-
ing occurred in any section, and
was quite warm, the temperature
having been above normal on all
days of the week except the last.
1t was favorable weather for the
growth of vegetables and for the
ripening of fruit, although corn and
outs would have been benefited by
rain.
It was ideal weather for haying,
which is not yet quite finished, and
for wheat harvest, which has fairly
begun in the early fields of fall
wheat. Fall and winter wheat has
ripened rapidly and even spring
wheat and oats are beginning to
turn. The heads are filling well.
There are some reports of smut.
No fall wheat has yet been threshed
out, but it is believed that the yield
is generally good although not up
to the highest expectations. The
outlook seems fair for fine wheat
yield, although some make less
favorable reports.
Nothing has occurred to lessen
the prospect of fine potato crop.
The weather has been favorable for
hops as the heat has destroyed the
vermin. Cucumbers and canta-
loupes are producing well, and sugar
beets are producing well.
Palouse country-Tekoa-Wheat

The County May Lose the $500.

CoLFAx, Wash, July Whit
man county may lose the 5000 paid
to {. G. Raby, when he was county
auditor, for two saloon licenses for
the town of Endicott. Raby's
bondsmen have refused to make
good the deficiency and suit will
probably be instituted.
Raby, as we'll as all the county
officers, was bonded by the Ameri-
can Surety and Fidelity company of
Baltimore. At the last session of
the board of county commissioners
demand was made on the company
tor 5000, the amount which it is
claimed Raby received for these
saloon licences. Today R. H. Kipp,
local agent for the surety company
notified the commissioners that the
campany refused to pay this sum
and will contest the claim of the
county that the company is liable on
Raby's bonds for the amount.
Local attorneys express a doubt
about the county being able to hold
the bondsmen for this amount, as
the law makes the county treasurer
the recipient of all fees for saloon
licenses and it was held that Raby,
as auditor, had no righttQ receive
the money. 1t is supposed this is
the ground on which the bond COM
pany will try to escape payment.
Raby is stillin hecounty Jail, being
unable to furnish bonds to secure
his release pending the appeal Of
his case to the supreme court.

To Meet the Farmers
r. r. Presidents to Come

III IGSpOuSS W tue luVlLdI1On eX-
tended to the presidents of the var
ious railroad companies to come to
Washington and meet with the
wheat producers, PresidentJ. J.. J, Hill,
of the Great Northern, and c. S.
Mellen, ofthe Northern Pacific, will
come to Colfax next Tuesday, Aug.
5th, to discuss the question of
freight rates at first hand, and try
to arrive at some amicable under
standing.
It is believed that the meeting
will result in a reduction on the
present freight rate on grain, pro-
viding the people show by their at
tendance that they are deeply inter
ested.
The call for the meeting, as issued
by R. c. McCroskey, president, and
Alfred Coolidge, secretary, of the
farmers meeting, is as follows:
In response to invitations ex-
tended, President J. ]. Hill, of the
Great Northern, President c. S.
Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, and
President A. L. Mohler, of the O.
R. & N. Railway Companies, will
be in Colfax, Tuesday morning,
Aug, 5th, at 10 O'Clock, in the
Court House, to meet the farmers of
Whitman county to discuss freight
rates and all matters of mutual in
terest. 1t is to the best interest of
this county that every farmer who
possibly can come, be here at that
time, SO that the railroad people
may know that we are in earnest in
our contentious for a reduction of
rates, and that they may be i'm
pressed by the feeling and interest
that we take in the matter.
"a reduction of 2A cents bu-
shell on freight would add an ap-
proximate value of $500 per acre to
all the farming land i'll this county,
and every farmer could afford to
give up that day to do what he can
to accomplish this result. Come
yourself and advertise this meeting
all you possibly can.
"a small attendance would indi-
cate to the railroad presidents that
but little interest was taken by the
people here, and that we are salts
hed with present conditions, and it
might be years before we would
again be afforded an opportunity to
get relief that is now open to us.
