geographical office holding and when
the Brooklyn paper asks What is there
to prevent Grinnell on stormy March
cay from choosing all of the nominees
in defiance of the wishes of the re-
mainder of the county?' the Herald
replies:
The primary system has prevailed
in this county, dating to period tina,
antedates at least a full generation
For three years convention system
prevailed, '93, "a. 80, and good conven-
tons we had too. In '95, however, the
republican farmers and business men
decided that they preferred the primary
system and since then the primary has
been the rule Several votes have been
taken on the question of adopting the
convention system, but the primary has
each time won out by an overwhelming
majority.
$50 far at least the primary has the
advantage. 1t has proved successful
in this county. No dissatisfaction has
arisen with its results and all candi-
dates seem to have had a fair chance.
AS between the farmers and the
business men the farmers have secured
fully one half the offices in the past.
SO there seems to have been no special
advantage to either. The primary
makes combinations and clfques almost
impossible, and in Poweshiek has never
resulted in punching the candidates
in any one community. In fact the

vention system. The convention can be
so handled and has been so handled
for the purpose of advancing the am
billions of politicians and cHques. and
we doubt not that If 1T becomes the
settled thing in this county we shall
have the same conditions that have
existed in adjoining counties. Among
our neighbors factions have arisen, and
divisive strifes engendered. bitter
enough to cause the loss of the county
to the democrats, while in Poweshiek
harmony has existed to a remarkable
degree. Judged in the light of history
the primary has the better of it
The Herald has pointed out the one
element of strength in the primary
system which should commend it above
the convention system at all times.
A few men always control caucuses,
name delegates and manipulate con-
yentions a political ring arises from
the very necessities of mutual assist
ance and no matter whether the ring
is vicious and corrupt or remains
clean handed, the outs" are always
at the ways of the ms

the primary system the voters select

STATEHOOD FIGHT ABANDONED.

The omnibus statehood bill has beer
labandored by Senator Quay and this
republicans who We're supporting tht
measure, and no new states will be ad
mitted at this session. The remainder
of the term will be given up to appro-
praation bills and treaties, all the re-
puhlicans falling into line for this pur-
pose. The democrats who have been
solidly supporting the omnibus bin feel
that they have been betrayed by Quay.
They fell into line with him simply be-
cause it was obstructing republican
legislation. 1t was meat for them
while it lasted, for it promised to de-
feat the Panama canal treaty and other
matters on which action was essential
regard this new movement by Quay as
revealing another of subtle or cunning
features of his character. They threat
en- all sorts of retaliation. but are pow
erless as against the republican ma
jcrity.
What tends to add to their confusion
is that a compromise measure provid-
ing for the admission of two states as
one was prepared by the republicans
and submitted to the democrats. The
latter in caucus decided to reject it and
this tends to fortify the republican po-
sition in it's laying aside of the entire
measure.
The country will regard the abandon
ment of the bill as sensible move-
ment, so far as New Mexico and
Arizona are concerned. All the dis
closures tend to show that these terri
tories can wait for further development
before being admitted. There will be
more regret about Oklahoma, but as
congressional sessions come every year
the delay in her case will not be long.

The hay famine in this city Is prac-
tically at a close now and the markets
are filled once again. In one block OF
the hay market on East Sixth street
there were nine loads of hay this af-
ternoon. The price of the tame hay
is at present s11 per ton and wild hay
is sold for 50. These prices are some
what higher than those of year ago.
Two or three months ago it was prac-
tically impossible to procure hay at
any price, but since the prospects of
an early spring are good, the farmers
have found that they will have suffi-
Client hay to last the remainder of the
winter and that they have some to

HE SHOULD ATTEND ONE.

The esteemed Birmingham News, being city-born and bred, may be excused for ignorance of some of the most pleasant recreations and enjoyments of the people of less pretentious places. That accounts for It's apparent inability to catch on to The Eufaula Times's desire to have an 'all-day singing i'll that town. The News confesses that it isn't clear as to what kind of an entertainment it is, never having enjoyed the privilege of witnessing and hearing one."
 The darkness of some of our otherwise well-informed contemporaries on this sub- jcct is appalling, and especially when they have lived for years in Alabama, where the practice of having th,se all-day sing irgs is not obsolete, nor, we hope, ob- soleseent. Such occasions among the country people are productive of more rational and harmless enjoyment than any other occasion designed to call the young people together. to say nothing of the elders who have not yet forgotten the pleasures and recreations of youth
 One of the beauties and pleasures of these occasions is that they are entirely free from sectarianism or denominational sxclusiveness. Young people, as well as those who are not entirely young, of all denominations. creeds and beliefs, or of no belief at all, meet together with their singing books the old Sacred Harp being yet great favorite. They either carry lunch with them or make other arrange ments for having dinner on the grounds" and then they proceed to enjoy themselves.
 All day long led by first one competent singer and then another and with suitable intervals of rest and refreshment, they sing the grand old songs and hymns which have been familiar to two. or three gener- ations, interspersing them with later com positions of the song writers There are many kinds and varieties of music, but none more pleasing or inspiring than to hear probably two score we'll trained male and female voices, properly led and con- trolled, unite in singing the songs of other days, It is delightful, inspiring and up- lifting, and The News writer should at- tend one of thern. Come by and perhaps you may get companion who has more than once or twice been there.

SENATOR HoAR ON THE SOUTH.
An Extract of His Chicago Speech
 That Touches Race Conditions.

A portion of Senator Hoar's speech the other day before the Union League Club of Chicago, that was overlooked in the telegraph report touches in interesting fashion on race conditions in the South. Coming from a Massachusetts man. highly honored by the country, the fol- lowing words have unusual significance:
 T know how sensitive our Southern friends are on this matter,o social equali- ty and companionship, and l think l might say fairly and properly-and that perhaps I have right to say it-that 1t is not wise for the people of the North judge hastily of feeling so deeply im- planted in their bosoms.
 Time, the great reconciliator, will re- concile them to that if in the nature Of things and in the nature of man they ought to be reconciled to it. And If in the nature of things and in the nature of man time does not reconcile them, 1t Will be sign that they ought not to be re- conciled to it; and that some other mode of life for them must be devised.
 ''Now. my friends, having said what thought to say on this question, perhaps I may be indulged in adding that, although my life politically and person. ally has been life of almost constant people, yet as grow older l have learned not only to respect and esteem, but to love the great virtues which make up the strength as they make the giories or the free States. Their love of home; their chivalrous respect for women; their cour- age; their delicate sense of honor; their constancy. which can abide by an opin- ion or a purpose or an interest Tor their State through diversity and through prosperity, through the years and through the generations, are things by which the people of the more mercurial North may take a lesson. And there Is another thing-covetousness. corruption, the low temptation of money has not yet Iouho
 
 Now, my friends, we cannot afford to live, we don't wish to live, and we do not live, in a state of enstrangement from a people who possess these quai- ties. They are friends of ours; oa1 born or or our horning; flesh of our flesh; blood oI our blood, and whatever may be the temporary error of any Southern State l, for one, if have a right to speak Tor Massachusetts, say to her, 'Entreat me not to leave thee nor to return from fol- lowing after thee.
