Primary Election a Failure.


Under the above caption the South
ern Reporter, OF Sardis, Miss, CON-
ments as follows on the primary elec-
ton recently held in that State:
We always opposed the primary
election, and always regarded it as an
innovation of old and well established
methods, and a plum thrown out to
tickle the Populites and catch their
votes. We have never seen cause to
change our mind about it, and never
expect to change it. But isn't it the
irony of fate, or to say the least, a
little singular, that the author of the
law should be the first man defeated
under it, ''hoisted on his own petard?"
1t seems SO to US, and if there is any
man in the next legislature who is
brave enough to 'take the bull by the
horns," we believe it will be (as it
ought to be- repealed. 1t entails a
heavy and unnecessary expense on all
candidates, which we think is wrong,
and we are opposed to it. The pri-
mary election law has been tried and
proven an expensive failure. Let us
have no more of it. Every voter has
IN inherent right to vote for whom
he wishes to vote and primary cleo
ton is nothing more nor less than an
unbinding agreement imposed, with
out constitutional authority, by the
legislature.

The primary election law, to
judge from the extravagant asser.
tions made by some of its advo-
Gates, is the counterpart of Mother
Winslow's soothing syrup, for
which the claim is made that "the
children cry for it" To our knowl-
edge very few reputable and well
known Democrats are taking any
stock in the movement to adopt
the primary election plan, but as a
rule they all favor the old-fashion-
ed convention system.

Spare the Birds.
Editor COlEax Chronicle:

Editor Colfax Chronicle.
Is there no chance to check the bru-
tai and merciless slaughter of birds
by boys here? Parents who pretend
to be christians and merciful humane
men and women allow boys with
cheap guns to kill and wound birds
at pleasure. Please cite the notice of
the Audubon Society. CITIZEN.
Our correspondent refers to the no.
tice of the Audubon Society, which
will be found posted at the court
house door. This society advertises
that it will pay SIS reward to anyone
who informs against the illegal trap
ping or shooting of birds. The State
law protects a number of non-plum-
age, insect eating and game birds.
In fact, nearly all of our common
birds, and a number of the rarer birds
are protected, and information of
their killing or trapping would meet
with certain fine. An affidavit before
the magistrate is the most direct and
certain way of getting at the Offend
ers, and we would advise Citizen and
Others interested to try that plan.
One or two good fines would go
long ways toward stopping the cruel
and unmanly slaughter.
