The direct nomination system Of part

The direct nomination system Of party
primaries is receiving widespread dis
cussion as a result Of the issue made Of
it by the Wisconsin republicans. The
consensus Of opinion in states where 1t
has been tried, more notably in Mime
sofa, is that direct nominations can only
be satisfactory where safeguarded by
majority rule. Nominations by minority
c~ontravene the vital principle of popu-
lar government no less n~agrantly than
the barter and trade of convention dele
cations. Minority nominations also fail
in commanding united support of the
party at the polls. where the votes are
needed.

the pension rolls is to be found In the
great liberality which the government
has shown to it's soldiers. Pension seek
ing has been encouraged, and whenever
the pension bureau has been found I'M
friendly to claims the claimants have
generally been able to get what they
ask from congress. Undoubtedly a
great many of the claims filed by men
who enlisted for the Spanish war will
not be allowed by the pension bureau,
in which case the claimants will appeal
to their congressman and generally with
success. A very considerable addition
to the pension account is thus assured.

ABROAD.

Industrial combinations abroad are
steadily increasing. A correspondent
writing from Berlin says that one Of the
tangible results of the continued depres-
sion in the German industrial and Sc
curity markets is the tendency toward
consolidation. One by one the big firms
which could not be prevailed upon to
join the sale syndicates and Kartel sys-
TEN during the hoodtide period now sud
denly recognize the benefit of co-opera-
ton. The various coal and coke syndi-
Gates have come to q mutual understand
ing and dropped their antagonism. The
large industrial firms of Westphalia and
the Rhine districts have come together
for the sake Of economy, reducing pro-
duction and working together to In
crease exports.
The combination movement is more
active In Germany than in other Euro
pean countries, but there Is a general
and strong tendency in this direction in
all the countries and the spread Of the
movement appears to be assured. It's
prime purpose Is to regulate production
and to render it more economical and II
Germany shall demonstrate that this
can be effected by combination that sys-
ten will be generally adopted wherever
it is practicable. 1t is not the tariffs
abroad that are causing the industrial
combinations, but conditions OF business
quite independent Of the fiscal system.
In view Of this 1t is obvious that the
Russian proposition for an international
conference to consider what can be done
about the trusts is not likely to receive
very serious attention.
