Endorsed for a second term in
the United States Senate. The
Democratic primary having de-
clared it's will, all that remains is
to see that it's decisions are duly
recorded in compliance with the
formulas Of State and Federal
law.
We do not doubt that for Louis
lana this revolution in election
methods will prove a salutary
thing. If there is to be but one
party in the State, it is better to
have the government of that
party established on a thoroughly
democratic basis than to have it's
action controlled by an irrespOn-
sible and self-perpetuating poll
tical ring. Hitherto the Demo-
cratic Party in Louisiana has
been governed from the top. The
party machinery has been seized
and used by a few aggressive
leaders, and nominating conven-
tiOns have done the will, not of
the rank and file of the white
voters, but of an autOcratic
party machine. Against the
opposition of this machine the
system of free and open elections
within the party has at last won
a trial, and the invitation to com
petition and discussion it offers
can hardly fail to raise the politi-
cal standards of the State.
In the above the Louisiana
primaries are commended, be-
cause they give an opportunity
to make a thrust at the Demo
cratic Party in this State. Here
is the stab at Mississippi:
In its new primary election
system Mississippi has an effec-
tive means of overriding the con-
stitutiOnal stipulation of a two
year term. Under this system
an election for State officers is
held every four years. Candi-
dates for all State Offices are
named in an extralegal Demo-
primary in August, and
these nominees receive a unani-
nous vote at the formal election
set by law for November. Nomi-
nees designated for the United
States senatorships are similarly
elected by the incoming Legisla-
ture. The Legislature no longer
chooses United States Senator's:
it merelycertifes to a previous
popular election. Hitherto Re-
representatives. have been nomin-
ated every two years in district
primary contests. Now it is
proposed to make all nominations
1T a four-year primary nomi-
for Representative being
good for two successive elections.
1t is the Mississippi idea to
discourage political and partisan
activity. Every four years the
white Democratic voters of the
State go to private polls of their
)wn, and choose a full compile
nent of political agents. Then
four years the political
onoratQs from ito ou,r

THE PRESIDENTIAL NOr1lNAT-
ING CONVENTION.

important bodies will meet, one
at Chicago and the other at St
Louis. The former will select
a Republican candidate for Presi
dent, the latter, a Democratic
candidate. These bodies will
outline a platform upon which
each party will go before the
people asking for their support.
AS for the Republicans, Hanna's
pithy remark, Let well enough
alone will probably guide them,
and together with prosperity
again be their principal bid for a
continuance in power along pre-
sent lines. The standard bearer
will in all likelihood be President
Roosevelt, who has practically
made it impossible for anyone
else to secure the nomination.
1t is not believed that the Re-
publican nominating convention
will be in session long, their
work is already cut out and only
needs a few fancy stitches to
complete the garment: but 1t is
an entirely different matter with
the Democrats. They are all at
sea for an issue, and what is
worse, badly divided and unable
to agree upon a leader. There
is one faction, led by Bryan, who
believes in clinging to the silver
panacea and the Kansas City
platform. prOclaiming that prin-
ciDles which were true four years
ago are true to-day, and that
honorable defeat is better than
tainted success: while another
faction wishes to drop the here
sizes Of the party, as they term
them, and go back to sound prin-
ciples. There is a third section
who agree with neither the enc
or the other, but are willing to
adopt anything, provided it will
carry the party to success. With
this division as to the course the
party shall pursue joined to in
decision as to leadership and
issues, the st. Louis convention
has a difficult task before it, and
just what action it will take is SO
problematical as to defy specula-
ton. The only thing that is
certain about the Presidential
race is that the Democrats will
be up against a hard proposition
when they tackle the united and
determined organization of the
Republican party, and if there is
any chance of success, it will lie
in the Democrats getting to-
gether with singleness of pur-
pose and shrewdly manipulating
the errors and short comings
OF the present administration.

SHE HAD A
SABLE LOVER
AND THE GREEN EYED MONSTER
CONSUMED HIM-HE WAS GER
TAINLY TOO GOOD FOR HER.

A case Of romance in low life was
shown i'm the police court this morning
when Anderson Grace was charged
with threatening to kill Mrs. Kalalaina
Kanikau. The man is a negro and as
black as coal, while the woman was
evidently a Portuguese with possibly
some native blood.
1t appears that some time ago the
woman was sent to the Queens Hos
pital to be nursed for a broken leg
Grace was an attendant at the hospital
and he became enamoured of the wo-
man. He showed her the best of at
tention that lay in his power and when
she left the hospital, it was to become
the mans mistress. He testified that
he had drawn all of his savings from
the bank for the purpose Of providing
the woman, who was still lame from
her broken leg, with delicacies and food
The woman appears to have repented
of her bargain however, for she evil
IDENTIFY tired of the man. She testified
that he had threatened to shoot her
with a revolver and had become very
jealous of her. She went to the police
station to ask the assistance of the po-
lice in getting rid of her sable lover
and the man came into the Deputy High
Sheriffs office with the darby i'm pur-
suit. She claimed she feared he wanted
on that occasion to kill her, as he own
ed revolevr and a slung shot. She had
however brought the revolver to the po-
lice station with her
The defendant claimed, however, that
he had merely gone to the police station
to try and bail the woman out for he
had supposed she was under arrest.
He had not intended to harm her. Judge
Lindsay discharged the defendant but
warned him not to modest the woman
in future.
Eugene Devauchella and A. Silva. the
Punchbowl prize fighter, got into an
alteration night before last at the head
of Emma street and both were in the
court today charged with ARRAY. De-
/ vauchelle was also charged with as
sault and battery on Silva. DevaucheIle
was fined SO and costs for the latter
charge and the other cases were nolle
/ pressed.
! Hosoi and Ful5uda, the Japs who are
| alleged to have acted as the Fence" for
/ the gang Of petty thieves caught this
week by the police, were arraigned in
/ the police court this morning on a
charge of receiving stolen goods. Their
| cases were continued until April 8.

some time ago) and was engaged
in helping Mrs. Troutman bury
some potatoes when the shot was
fred. Immediately upon arriving
at the scene of the crime the Sher-
if made as thorough an investiga-
ton as possible and decided to
place Henry Parker under arrest,
but he could not be found and no
one had seen him since some little
time before the shooting, when he
was seen in that vicinity. Mrs.
Parker fingered until next day at
noon, when she died. The pros
ecuting attorney and coroner ar
rived shortly after her death and
an inquest was held. The evidence
was of such a nature that the jury
soon brought in a verdict that she
came to her death by a gunshot
wound and that her husband, Hem
ry Parker, was the one that fred
the shot. The shot was evidently
fired from a gun of rather large
calibre, as the ball, which struck
her in the left side ranged down
through the bowels and came out
through the right hip and narrowly
missed Mrs. Troutman. The sher-
if put forth every effort to locate
and capture Parker, but he could
never get any trace of him until
Sunday morning about day break
when he entered Parker's home
and found him on a bed, dead.
He had evidently entered the house
after midnight, Ia watch had been
kept on the house until nearly that
time)as he was still warm when
found. A coroner's jury was i'm
paneled and, after hearing the ev-
idence, found that the deceased
came to his death by taking strych-
nine with suicidal intent.-Reynolds
