Yesterdays Primary.

With the closing of the polls yesterday
an interesting and spirited contest be-
tween Richmond Democrats for party
shonors was concluded. 1t was hard
fought bnttle between many Of the can-
dilates, but It was friendly fight, and
was conducted in fairness and good tens
per. A fairly large vote was pollcd, and
SO far fls we can learn the election was
without faint of fraud or trlckery.
We congratulate the successful candl-
dates and offer this crumb of comfort to
the defeated: A man cannot control re-
suits. His part Is to do his best and
let the results take care Of themselves.
But the man who runs honorably, in the
highest sense runs successfully, whether
( or not he wins the prize. or course,
there will be disappointments3 and many
will say that some candidates were noml-
mated who should have been defeated,
and that others were defeated who should
have been nominated. But in our form
of government the majority rules, and it
cannot be disputed that the primary is
tho best means yet devised to test popular
sentiment The voters have expressed
their choice, and from their decision there
is no appeal.

WHY Not An Arnistice?

IT Is reported that there may be no
armlstice pending the negotiations be-
tween Japan and Russia for peace, But
why not?
An armlstce is simply the temporary
suspension OF hostllitics and preserves
the status quo. While 1t is in force each
party may do within the limits pre-
soribed by the truce whatever he could
have done in time of peace For OK
ample, he may raise troops, collect stores,
receive achievements and fortify places
that are not actually IN a state Of siege.
Neither party can take advantage or the
armlstice to do what no could not have
done had military operations been con-
tnued. Thus, he cannot throw REIN
forcements or provisions into a besicssd
town, and neither besiegers nor besleGed
are at liberty to repair their fortt ficatlons
or erect new works All things contained
in places, the possessions OF which was
contested, must remain In the state IN
which they We're before the armlstlce
began. Any infringement By either party
of The conditions Of the truce entities the
other TO recommepce hostilities without
previous intimation."
The following example Is given by a
writer on this subject to illustrate the
nature Of an armistlce: "On February
Is, 1856, the representatives Of ENGLAND,
France, Austria. Prussia. Sardinia. pur-
key and Russia met In conference at
Paris to consider tho terms Of q treaty
of peace. which should terminate the
war at that time going on between five
of the above named nations. The British
nation was very unwilling to suspend
hostilities, due to the sitting of the con
ference, partly on account Of the numer-
aus failures of~diplonacy in the preced-
ing year and partly because Russia was
suspected of only wishing to gain time.
II was agreed however, at the first Sit

Folk to the Rescue.

Governor FOLK, tho re1Ormer OIL MIS-
souri,, who as Governor Of the State Is
endeavoring to enlarge and make state
wide some OF the reforms that he was SO
successful in bringing about in ST, Louis,
is just now up against a very hard propo-
sitIon. Missouri people, or ut least Q
great many of them, are as fond OF horse
racing as Kentuckians are, but, unlike
the Kcntuckians. the Missourians race
their horses for the money that may be
in 1t more than for the love OF horse
flesh. The result is that horse racing
in Missouri has degenerated into the most
,reprehensible kind Of gambling.
The Legislature Of the State at It's
last session, put a new statute on the
law books, which prohibits betting on
horse races. Tho law was aimed atSan
race track gamblers, but more especially
at the bookmakcrs, who for years nave
operated at the famous Delmar race track
In st. Louis.
Governor Folk has ordered the sheriff
of ST. Louis county to enforce the law.
He has directed that officer to summon
n sufficient number Of deputies to carry
oft the order, and declares that II the
local facilities are not sufficient ior t ne
proper enforcement Of the law, he the
Governor, will call out the militia. Ihero
appearing to be atdisposition on the part
az botl1 the sheriff and the attorneys

to nntagonizc the Governor the latter
has gone to. st. Louis, presumably 70 see
to 1T IN his own vigorous way, mat MS
orders are carried out, and he has gone,
SO a local paper says, prepared to SIT
up with the boys.
Ono thing that makes the affair m
itenscly interesting Is that the attorney
general has Informed the Governor that
he does not think, as at present advised
that betting as carried on now Ct inc me
Delmar track, Is violation Of the law,
which probably means that tho pook-
makers have in some way changed thelr
methods Of gambling since the enactment
of the law, in order to whip the devil
around the stump, md the attorney gen.
eral is inclined to encourage this evasion.
FURTHERMORE, the sheriff has employed
counsel, who has advised him that the
system Of gambling now used at the track
while gambling in itself, is not the kind
of gambling forbidden by the statute, and,
of course, counsel for the hooknlakers
are Of the same opinion It is alleged
that the sheriff has declared that in me
absence OF n positive opinion by the
attorney general that the present gam
bling system is a violation Of the law, he
will not ac..
This Is the condition Of affairs that
has brought Governor Folk to st. Louis.
and he intmates that tho Legislature did
not pass and he did not sign an excuse
OF a law that could be so easily evaded,
and he. proposes to enforce it IL he has to
DO Encouragement and sheriff, too, as
well as Governor. That Is just the kind
of pluck the people love to see a reform
Governor exhibit, and they are taking.
and Will continue to take, an absorbing
interest in the fight that Governor Folk
now has on hand.
