MISSISSIPPI PRIMARY.

The Mississippi primary of Thursday
furnishes pretty fair illustration of t
w at may be expected of that system
of making party nominations in /
other states which may choose to /
adopt plan SO elaborate in its de- |
tials and so we'll guarded against
frauds and abuses as is that which |
prevails III that commonwealth. !
Some friction is to be expected in
the action OF all new machinery, !
whether mechanical or political, and /
no doubt there must have been some |
friction in Mississippi's first trial |
of primary machinery for selecting
party candidates, though at this writ
ing the telegrams have reported but a
single instance of where serious
trouble occurred. That trouble APP
pears to have been prccipitated by the
aniinosity of one man against another,
and the result, while deplorable, was
just suchin its character as the papers
print every day as growing out of
differences between people on other
subjects and where no primaries are
pending. 1t would hardly be fair
to say that because a candidate was
killed in a personal difficulty in Her
nando that the blame therefor is at
tributed solely to the tact that pri-
nary election was being held on that
day The cause of trouble antedated
rhe date Of the primary
The enormous vote polled in Mis-
sissippi is proof that the people are
not only willing, but anxious, to ex-
ercise the right of suffrage to secure
the nominations of men of their
choice for party candidates; and they
went to the polls with patriotic zeal
to cast each man his vote according to
his own Judgment. The electionseems
to have been fair and unhampered
and as yet no cry of fraud or dishon-
esty has followed on its heels. The
chances are that all factional feeling
naturally attaches to any contest
where the opini OBS of voters vary as
to men or measures will now rapidly
die away, leaving no bitterness be-
hind, and no suspicious of wire-pull
ing and machine politics to rankle in
the minds of those who were beaten.
Louisiana might profit by the ex-
ample of making party nominations.

BUSY TIMES ANTICIPATED.

Yesterday afternoon a man who has
been employed at theBugby rockquarry
was up In the police court TO answer to
a charge Of drunkenness. He was
found at Astor and Eighth streets In an
unconscious condition, and. after COM
ing to. assured the police that he had
been doped with knockout drops. The
mans story was regarded with skep-
ticism and the police attributed his con
dition to booze. He was fined 81 and
permitted to leave town. 1t is expect
ed that the Bugby quarry will be a
source of endless annoyance to the po-
lice this winter. OF the 500 men EN-
ployed there nearly all have come from
San Francisco. Seattle, Tacoma. Port
land and Astoria. and the men enjoy
themselves immensely when they come
to the city to get their pay. From this
ii is concluded by the city authorities
that the transient men at Bugby will
be involved more or less.
