THE REPUBLICAN, PRIMARIES.

The president Of the Republican County Com
mir1ee won gratifying victory il the primaries
on Tuesday. He and his friends not only held
their own in respect to the number of Assembly
districts they control. but strengthened their
hold on many Of them their delegates being
elected over the opposition by increased major
tiles, though unusually hot fight made
against them. There was no issue between Mr..
Parsons and the opposition except the question
who should control the Republican organization
This was made plain in the primary campaign.
and IL was with this distinctly in mind that the
Republicans voted so strongly to sustain the
present leader.
The result is satisfactory for the reason that
Mr.. Parsons represents an Improvement upon
the old type of leadership. We have not al
ways been able TO accept his Judgment but mis-
management has been. on the whole. q distinct
advance upon that which formerly prevailed.
He is one of the newer type of leaders who have
come 10 the front To take the place OF the old
fashioned bosses II has been predicted Of such
men that they would find themselves compelled
10 resort 10 the same kind Of practical politics"
which their predecessors employed. or else that
they would fail 10 maintain their hold and have
TO give place 10 others who would not scruple
10 use the worst Of the old methods. 1Ir. Par
sons has done neither of these ttings<and this
present contest in which he opposed and van
qUshed the past masters of the old school has
proved that his sort Of politics can he played
successfully. The choice at the primaries was
virtually betpeen Parsons and Quigg. and the
result is fortunate.

The incident is now closed in the manner
which was from the first desirable. and 1t

The opinion which expressed some time

The State Department at Washington is re-
ported to have adopted the policy Of making ap-
plication for Chinese exequaturs for American
consular officials in AIancEuria- Mr.. Fisher. the
American consul at Harbin, accordingly recog-
niZes Chinese sovereignty as complete over that
city and the adjacent region. At this. we are
told the Russian government IS disturbed. hold
ing that its sovereignty IS superior 10 that of
China in the railroad zone at Harbin and else
where in Manchuria.
In the treaty Of Portsmouth Of September >
19O3 Article III. Russia and Japan mutually en-
gagged Ito completely and simultaneously evacu-
"a1e Mauchuria. with the exception of the ter
'ritory over which the lease of the peninsula
of Lao-Tung extends, ana to entirely
'and completely restore 70 the exclusive admin
-stratiOn OF China all parts OF Manchurla oc-
"cupied by Russian and Japanese troops, or I'M
der their control, with the exception OF the
above mentioned territory" In the same i'll
strument the Russian government declared that
it had no territorial advantages or preferential
.or exclusive concessions in Manchuria of such
"a nature to impair the sovereignty OF
China" Finally in Article VII of the same
treaty Russia and Japan agreed Ito operate
their respective railroads in Manchuria for
commercial ana industrial purposes exclusively
but by no means fer ST. dtegic purposes" And
in an article additional 20 Article III the twa
governments mutually agreed ito begin the
Withdrawal OF their military forces from the
territory of AIanchuria simultaneously and i'm
"mediately after the entrance into force of this
treaty and within period of eighteen months
from this date the armies of the two powers
shall be entirely withdrawn from Manchura
with the exception OF the leased territory IF
the peninsula of LiaO-Tung"
There is, believe dispute concerning
either the location IF Harbin OF the date of llie
treaty OF Portsmouth IIarbin IS IN Manchuria
and ii i not within tie leased territory OF tit,
Liao-Tuug peninsula. Therefore, il is ii place
which is TO be completely evacuated by Russia
which is to be restored 10 the exclusive admins
tration of China, and in which Russia has no
advantages or concessions which impair tae soy-

teuber , 1905 and was 10 be ratified and the
ratifcations were TO be notified not later than
fifty DAYS thereafter. and from and after ths
date of the last of the notifications the treaty
was TO enter into full force in all its parts on
or before October -. 1906 therefore the treaty
entered into full force and effect and eighteen
months thereafter-to wit, on April %, 19o'-

According to that treaty, then. made on Amer
lean soil and through he good offices OF the
American government. there seems TO be no con
ceivable reason for seeking exequaturs Tor
American consuls in Manchuria from any other
power than China. or for the recognition a'
Harbin or elsewhere in Manchuria outside OF
the tip of the Regents Sword of any other SOW
ereignty than that of China. In the words OF
Mr. w. the Chinese Minister, Chinese suprem-
acy in Manchuria is complete Or, if it Is not
complete it rests with the signatories OF the

An ARKANSAS FALST4FF.

Senator JEFF Davis seems 70 be in danger
of trying the Arkansas sense Of humor TOO
severely, for if Arkansas is anything like the
rest of the earth il will be ready TO forgive its
hero anything except making himself a laugh
ing stock The Hon. jeff has been knocked
down in the streets Of little Rock and has fed
in unheroc haste. with the enemy in hot pur-
suit and in possession Of the famous gold
headed cane which in his oratory he is always
boasting that he uses upon the heads OF his
foes. \ few moments later he was caught
in the street fourshiug big pistol ar
rested by the constable and ended ANONYMOUSLY
10y being fined in the police court. To man
of the Senator's truculent manner not TO have
landed a blow. to have been seen by his con-
stituents running like q scared rabbit from
bare fists and TO have concluded the inglorious
affair in vulgar courtroom will prove most
damaging Indeed. The Memphis CONNER
ciaI Appeal is abundantly justified in its pre-
dicrfon of a few DAYS ago that Jeff was about
due TO execute the grand skiddoo, for, said
our contemporary. vengeance leans eager
from the skies and Reuibution paws the
earth"
Jaf~s constituents seem 10 have had pre-
rn6nirion of what was coming. for he emerged
from the recent campaign down in Arkansas
with no more credit than from his affair IN
the Little Rock streets. The Jeff candidate
for Governor was handily beaten at the pr1-
maries. running poor second, with another
anti-Jpff candidate close VI. Something less
than third Of Arkansas was with him. To
that third the Arkansas Falstaff issues an
exclamation of his encounter. He was the vic
tin Of a 'cowardly. unprovoked effort ar as
sassination." He was struck over the head
with = loaded bat" The bunch Of boodlers
and grafters may yet assassinate' him, AS
his prototype said of a famous encounter Il

Not since q certain leading Arkansan threat
ened 10 drive Jeff Davis into the Arkansas
River with a lightning bug on the end OF a
corncob has anything so serious happened.
Arkansas may begin to wonder whether
man who could mistake q lightning bug on the
end of a corncob for dangerous weapon
might not mistake a bare fist for loaded
hat
