THE IRELAND OF HUNGARY.

The latest phase of the Croatian question
continues the remarkable parallel which has
often been remarked between the Banate and
Ireland. Each of the two formerly consisted
Of three or four separate Kingdoms" Each
came under the dominating influence of another
and stronger power at about the same da1e
Croatia being annexed TO Hungary at pretty
nearly the time when Henry II of England in
vaded Ireland Each has remained during the
period of union chronicaly discontented and
partly mutnous. Each has Jagged far behind
its dominant neighbor in industries prosperity
and progress. Each has boaSted that its soy
ereign's extremity would be its opportunity
And now. just Ireland has sent an almost
solid Nationalist delegation TO Parliament
Croatia has sent a separatist delegation to the
Diet at Agram. In the recent elections it is
said that the Ban used many regiments of
troops 10 influence the voters, and yet sue
ceeded IN affecting the election OF only one
solitary Unionist The new Diet will be abSO-
Iutely under Croatian and Servian control.
Ii was moreover almost simultaneously with
the unicn OF ireland with Great Britain. lit
tie more than a century ago, and the conse
quent arising of a new Irish grievance"
against the Saxon, that Croatia's great Griev
ance arose in an acute form. Down TO that
time that country had enjoyed a pretty com
plete measure of home rule under the Hun
Garian crown. But Napoleon BOnaparte. in
recasting the map of Europe, made ii again an
independent nation the dominant part OF
that ephemeral state Of Illyra, which extended
from Laibach TO Ragusa. For nine years that
state fiOurished under Marmont, and then was
destroyed, its elements being returned to their
former conditions. In 1913 the CroatianS re
Garded Hungary's extremity their opportu-
nifty, and Joined Austria In crushing Kossuth
and his short lived republic" But then. with
the perversity which chara cterIzed Austrian
rule, instead of being treated with grateful con
sideTatlon, Croatia was governed from Vienna
with ruthless absolutism, and SO was com
pletely alienated from the empire TO which 1t
had rendered such service. After Deaks com
promise with Austria had been established q
corresponding treaty WAS made between Hun
gary and Croatia. But that treaty. instead OF
being bond of union, has largely proved to
be a cause OF irritation and animosity
Under that treaty Croatia has home rule

business which affects the whole kingdom and

THE MARYLAND PRIMARY LAW

The friction caused in Maryland last fall by
the failure of the Democratic State Committee
to authorize a genuine open primary election to
nominate two candidates for seats in the United
States Senate has been accentuated by the
fuSa of the Legislature, which adjourned last
Saturday to pass Il statewide primary law. The
Democratic platform, adopted last August. IA
vored the introduction of the MsSssipD-Ala-
bama system, under which candidates for the
United States Senate and for the governorship
and other state offices compete in general prl-
mary. This primary scheme was the baIt
thrown to the Democratic voters who had helped
to defeat the Poe-Gormau suffrage amendment
to the constitution submitted in 1895. They
were to be assured that if they consented to
limit the suffrage and to establish two IN
equally privileged classes of white electors the
legal inequalities between these two classes
would be waived, far Democratic voters
were concerned, by the establishment OF II pri-
vate party primary in which Democrat With
out ancestry might participate on equal terms
with Democrat of guaranteed ancestral pedi-
gree. This pledge accepted with enthusiasm
by the Baltimore Democrats. many Of whom
would be obliged to register as second class
voters under the operations of the grandfather
clause" They argued that if they were allowed
to have an equal share in choosing Democratic
candidates it would not matter much if they
had 10 vote at real election from Il second
cabin steerage list.
Governor Crothers to his credit, labored ear
nestly to induce the Legislature to make good
the partys pledges and install the Alabama Mis-
siSslppi primary. But the influences which set
up ali Limitation primary last November were
powerful enough tn defeat the Governors efforts
The bosses of the party lave healthy dread Of
open ana popular methods of nominating caDdi-
dates for PUBLIC office. They greatly preferred
the old system of county conventions under
which gross inequalities of representation can
he perpetuated and small local interests can be
played upon successfully. Senator John Walter
Smith and Mr.. Arthur L. German have control
Of the party machinery III Maryland and they
do not intend to lose that control through auy
rash experiments They devised. therefore, Il
substitute primary scheme, much like that used
IN nominating United States Senators last wear
ana forced it through the Legislature 1t pro-
vides for distinct and separate primaries in each
county or legislative district and gives the dele
gates elected from each county or district TO the
candidate who leads in that particular sup-
division. As the delegates are apportioned ac-
c0rding To county or district representation in
the Legislature, the small Eastern Shore and
Southern Maryland counties, which are greatly
OvNrCepreSented, can continue to outyote Ralti-

veterans Of these recent wars springs from the
existing preference for Civil War veterans IN
the Civil Service provisions Of the constitution.
But conditions are not analogous. The civil
War veterans are aged men, decreasing In num-
bers and not applying for appointment with any
such frequency as to affect seriously the opera
tions Of the merit system. They fought IN Il
great war in which the existence OF the nation
was at stake, and the nation has felt it owed
them such a debt Of gratitude that 1t should
make an exception to the operation OF the merit
system of appointments in their favor. These
recent veterans. on the contrary, are young men,
and so numerous that an exception in their
favor practically involves the whole principle OF
the merit system. The military hardships which
they went through were in way comparable
with those suffered in the Civil War. Indeed,
the probability is that most of these new vet
Grams never saw any more Of the terrors OF war
than could be seen In few months encampment
at Chattanooga or Mt Admission. Because OF
such services as these the state cannot afford
to abandon the principle Of appointments for
merit and demoralize its whole Civil Service.

A THEATREGoER's PROTEST.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: l have been looking for time past TO
see a protest made against the terrifying methods
adopted recently in theatres of announcing the
raising of the curtain. have reference the loud
beating of a gong the first balcony floor. At a
performance last evening the person who welded
the drumstick seemed TO exercise most fendish
ingenuity in producing the greatest volume of sound
with the utmost suddenness.
more nerve racI<ing distressing kind OF
noise liberated suddenly in the quiet of theatre II
would be difficult 10 imagine. and cannot conjecture
why the manager to sanction such a
dabolical method of terrifying people who visit
theatre for entertainment and recreation. II 1t
the invention of a Chinese believer in the eff
cacy of noise for the exercising of demons the idea
must have originated in the mind Of person
who aimed to make the first balcony seats unpopu-
lar. Each time the gong is sounded nervous women
and girls be starting from their seats IN
different parts of the theatre.
