MlNNEsOTA's PRIMARY LAW.

The agitation in Iowa for primary
1lection law gives local interest to the
discussion of the workings of the
Minnesota primary system as discuss
ed in an article entitled political
Movements in the Northwest" con-
tributed to the Review of Reviews by
Charles Baldwin Cheney. This law
has had the test of two elections and
It's principles appear to have been per-
manently accepted. Mr.. Cheney notes
as significant that the most important
amendment proposed. at the present
legislative session is one extending the
direct primary to the nomination of
state officers.
The law now applies to congression-
al, judicial, legislative, county and city
officers. The primary is held at the
regular polling place OH the first reg
istration day, seven weeks before cleo
ton, and candidates get places on the
ballot by their own affidavit, accom-
panied by fee of $40 or $50, accord
Ing to the territory covered. A sep
arate ballot is printed for each party,
containing all the candidates that have
filed. The regular election officials
have charge. The voters are required
to declare their party affiliation, and
then they receive the ballot of the
party named.
It is noted that in practice this plan
does not prevent democrats from TAX
ing part in the republican primaries,
and the reverse. In most Of the Min
nesota counties there is no effective
minority. Only one ticket, the repub-
Hcan. Is placed in the field. If demo-
Gratis are to have any voice in naming
county officers. they must get into the
republican primaries and they are en-
couraged to take part by the cand.-
dates who benefit by their votes. This
practice is not peculiar to the direct
primaries, however. 1t was habitual
under the old caucus and convention
system.
Opponents Of the primary law, be-
fore 1T was tried, said that it would
never secure a full expression. The
voters have answered that objection.
A local contest of any character will
bring out a fuller vote than was for
merly cast in caucusesi to elect dele
gates. Contests usually occur, and
they are decisive. The defeated cam
didate is barred from running as an
independent, and the popular vote is
regarded as a final appeal.
The usual primary vote is at beast
atwo thirds Of the vote cast at the gen
eral election, and often runs very close
to the November vote. In the off-year
election Of 1902, the primary brought
aout a larger vote than the general
election in number of Minnesota
counties. AS the primary had settled
lall local matters, and there was no
presidential campaign, the vote in No
vember was light.

Some people are so infatuated with
their religion that they are willing to

alike, open anew the wounds of the

the bereaved, all for the sake of pro-
mitigating their doctrine. Infinite
love never fathered such religion.
The Man of Sorrows never added to
the cup of over burdened humanity,
but rather took the draft himself.

A COUNTESS IN IOWA,
Hampton ChFOnlcIe.I

On the bleak prairies of Iowa, in the
winter months, Franklin county pre-
sents far from alluring place for
nobility of Europe to spend their idle
hours. Under circumstances such as
people are sometimes held where they
have the least desire to be. Such was
the case with Nine Jandriac. French
countess, who, with her retinue of SER
wants was on the train which was snow
bound for so many days at Coulter. No
one that saw the countess, eating fried
eggs out of a tin cup and drinking cof-
fee made in an iron pail would have
thought that she regretted her visit. 1t
is said that of all the party who were
held there that none enjoyed themselv-
es more than she. Her maids and SER
wants were ordered to do all they could
to relieve the rest of the passengers,
and when the men succeeded in getting
an oil stove and some provisions from
Coulter, the servants of the French
countess were the ones who did most of
the work.
Our pictures OF nobility, gained
mostly from books. are SO much differ
ent than this that we are almost
tempted to think that nobility is after
all not so bad. 1t will probably be
many years before Franklin county
will entertain any one of French nor
bility for so long time. We We're
pleased with the visit of Nine. Jandriac
and are glad that she did not fume and
worry all the time she was here. Long
live Countess Jandriac and may she
never be snow bound again: We will
always recall her visit with pleasure.
Royalty snow bound on Franklin coun-
ty prairies is rare indeed, and only
for US.

10 FEVER DEATHS YESTERDAY.
| High Record Charged to Excessive
Heat at New Orleans.

Thirteen deaths occurred yesterday at
New Orleans from yellow fever, one more
than the previous high record Only thirty
one new cases were reported from twelve
different localities. To date there have
been 255 deaths, 1,743 cases and 402 foci
The increase in the number of deaths Is at
tributed to the excessive warm weather
which has prevailed here for the past week.
1t IS currently reported that the entire
gulf'coast from the Louisiana line to Mobile
is infected with yellow fever. Seven cases
have been reported at Gufport, and there
are seven under treatment at Mississippi
City. Before the fever was reported at the
latter place there was open communication
with the neighboring towns. which is be-
lieved to have been the means of introduce
ing the disease in most OF the towns on
the coast although cases have only been
officially reported at Gufport and Mis-
sissippi City
Large quantities of sulphur and pyrethum
powder were burned at New Orleans yester-
day in almost every house for fumigation
purposes. Mass meetings will be held in
every ward next Wednesday to arrange
for a house-to-house inspection of premises.
