The Complete Primary Ticket.

s The completed primary ticket to-, be
voted FOR Sept IS, shows sixty-four
offices to be filed for which there are
1s9 republican candidates, sixty demo-
cratic candidates., ten prohibitionist
and seventeen public ownership candi-
y dates. The paucity of democratic as
Spirants for office is more marked than
ever before altho the democrats have
managed to raise pretty hot fights over
the offices they have chosen as party
battle grounds. TIE race for the
mayoralty nomination is most marked.
Here the lines are closely drawn be-
tween candidates who favor and candi-
dates who are lukewarm on public
ownership tho the platform is strictly
for public ownership and control. = .
The republicans have too many can
didates for some offices. There is not
much sense in having eight candidates
for judge of probate and twenty-four
forfour places on the park board. The
one. situation suggests that it would be
well to have the scramble for judicial
positions modified by some provision of
law; the other that the board nomina-
tions in citiessscould well be made a
matter Of conference between parties.
Nominate equal to twice the number
Of the places to be filed would assist
the voter IN making his choice, but

Sunday Saloons Go Forever.

The adniNistration feels that the high-water

figure. For instance, for the three months i'm
mediately preceding the Sunday closing order
the total number: Of strictly Sunday cases of
drunkenness was 194, while for the three
months Immediately following that order the
total number showed but 81, or a reduction Of
nearly 70 per cent.

In 1898 an international congress of

ton is Il vital one. / am inclined 10
believe. although it is not quite clear,
that it will be possible under the pres
ent Aliens Bill to refuse asylum TO
anarchists who have committed politi-
cal crimes in other countries. But, in
my opinion, il is necessary to go much
further than this In most countries,
including England, practically all anar-
chists are perfectly well known to the
police. The mere possession of anar-
chist opinions should be sufficient rea-
son for refusing to permit such aliens
to land in England. To meet the case
of alien anarchists already i'm the
