It Is Proper to Attend the Circus Even
# Without Children.

The circus Is becoming more and more
a national attribute. 1t Is factor IN
American life. and the young American
never forgets his first circus. 1t always
remains conspicuous milestone Of his
earthly career.
The time was when II was considered
the proper thing for adults to apologize
for going to circus. and TO give a iic-
titious excuse. by saying that they went
TO take the children. Such apologies are
out OF place now. 1t Is quite the thing TO

that they like the circus.
The evolution from the old time one

wagons to the mastodonic rich, and ar

Wallace Show OF to-day, marks re-
markable transformation which is merely
In keeping with the tendency to Vastness
IN all modern enterprises.
The announcement OF the coming OF a
big, modern circus such as Is the Wallace
Show arouses in the mind OF 1uvenllity
visions Of supernal ecstacy which refuse
to be controlled on show day and the
adult is also reminded of the days when
a glimpse Of the waving canvas, the

crowds seemed to be the ultimate end

Silver Frightening.
In the face Of general depression In
financial centors. not only in this coun-3
try, but IN Europe also, the price OF
silver has been tending upward a long
time. Lately the tone Of the market has
been unusually strong in London and
New York.
This is probably change which will
last for many years, even II 1t should
not go farther, There has been no such
increase in the production of silver or
the worlds stock OF that metal, rela-
tive to the figures Of tho last quarter
of the nineteenth century, as has taken
place In gold or II, general business and

Another One.

The Halifax Record advertiser takes
z the same view. It says: "a
The second regular viva voce primary
election, held under the party law In
Halifax, for the choice of candidates for
county offices and for two members OF the
House OF Delegates, is now numbered
among the things that were. The law
was not mandatory as to the. selection
Of county officers, but the party was com.
PEELED to select its legislative candidates
by primary election and a viva yoce vote.
We have never heard a plan of making
nominations cussed and discussed more
than this recent primary election. 1t was
unpopular from start to finish, and we
arc sure will never be tried again In
Halifax. If there is any way to prevent.
At Houston every voter who presented
himself at the polls was asked by one of
the Judges of the election IL he pledged
himself to support the nominees. This
question was insulting to lifelong Demo-
Gratis, and almost invariably they de.
clined to pledge themselves to anything,
and yet their vote was recorded and
counted. At no other precinct in the
county was question asked, and ac-
cording to the Interpretation of the law
by some of the leaders, n legal vote was
not taken except where the voter was
asked If he pledged himself to support
the nominees.
Again, only here and there was there
n contest for the nomination of justice
of the peace, supervisor or commissioner
of the revenue. and large per cent,
of the voters only consider themselves
pledged to support the candidates whose
names were on the tally sheets and for
whom a vote was taken. And there you
are. No question In politics has beer
settled, for not q principle was involved
and only personal spite was the moving
spirit In many instances. M
