A PRIMARY WANTED.
Petition Circulated and Generally Signed
Asking That Primary Election Be
Held to Select Clerk OF Court.

A petition was circulated Saturday
and very generally signed by the voters
of this city and by many citizens OF
other sections of thecounty who were in
town, requesting the county Legisla-
ture delegation to recommend that a
primary election be ordered for the
purpose Of electing Clerk OF Court
to I'll out the unexpired term of the
late Shepard Nash. As far as can be
ascertained by talking with the people
there is a strong and growing senti-
ment in favor of the primary as the
best and most satisfactory plan that
can be adopted to settle the clerkship
question. 1t is argued that since
Governor Hayward has heretofore re-
ferred the appointment of county officers
for unexpired terms to the county dele
cations instead Of exercising his right
Of appointment without the recon-
mendation, and that in one or more
instances primaries have been held in
other counties to fill vacant Offices he
will Go SO in this case, and that it may
as we'll be referred direct to the people,
rather than to their Legislative repre-
sentatives. The people themselves
may as we'll be given the privilege of
electing the Clerk by vote as to have
the members of the Legislature do it
for them.

THE BALKAN OUTLOOK.

TheAseesaw in the Balkan States continues.
One day it is peace the next day it is war. Our
special correspondent, writing from Salonica ON
Tuesday clearly set forth the uncertainty OF the
situation and the contradictory impressions re-
ceived in travelling through the disturbed prov
inces. His first cue, that the Albanians were
more likely to make trouble this spring\than
any one else, has proved correct; and we shall
await hopefully the fulflment of his second I'M
preston that the long threatened general up
rising In Macedonia will not take place this
year. In fact it seems pretty sure that there
has not been nearly so much trouble IN that
region as some reports have suggested. The
Turks and the BuIgarians are both easily capa-
BILE Of exaggeration, and they each appear 10
hare been drawing an uncommonly long bow
about the atrocities committed by the others.
Apart from this exaggeration Of evils. which
has made the outlook seem more ominous than
it is. there is another circumstance to be borne
in mind That is the distaste Of the great
mowers and especially of Austria and Russia,
for ANYTHING like a revolution, and above all
revolution with anti-dynastc tendencies. 1t is
in their eyes a bad thing TO revolt against q
sovereign in favor of another sovereign But 10
revolt against a sovereign in favor OF something
savoring OF democracy is the very abomlnat1on
Of desolation. Now. the latter is just what they
are afraid of in Macedonia. The best of the
Macedonians are Greeks and the Greeks are the
most democratic people in Europe. If a revolu-
ton in Macedonia could be so arranged as sim
plv TO transfer that region from the Turkish TO
the Russian or the Austrian crown there would
be no objection 80 it. But revolution with
Ricciotti Garbaldi and other knights errant or
repubIicanism figuring in it and leavening the
lump would be a very different and very OBJ
iectionable thing For that reason we shall ex-
pect those two empires 10 continue TO exert
their influence against a general outbreak. and
we shall not be surprised if their influence
proves effective.
This might be regretted were it not for the
fact which we have often recorded IN these
columns and which our observant correspondent
on the ground abundantly confirms, namely, that
while the Macedonians yearning for the
emancipation of their country the right men
are not raising the cry for liberty. 1t is,
writes our correspondent, "an honest and ear
''nest Christian race. but some of those at the
s'head of the movement are adventurers, fortune
shunters and intriguers unworthy to lead
sse-reat and noble cause That is the unhappy
truth. and while 1t remains truth 1t will not
be easy to enlist the sympathies Of the world
in behalf of the movement thus led. Accord
ing to Paul the Apostle, the people of Salonlca
in old time received the Word in much Attic
ton" and endured many prosecutions and trlb-
ulations That seems to be the lot OF the Thes-
saIonfans and indeed of all Macedonians to-day.
From such a lot they will one day be rescued.
But it will scarcely be by the hands OF kid
nappers murderers and brigands.
