THE INQUIRY IN rms STATE.


The present investigation of the joint
legislative committee on primary reform
into the faults which the people Of this
state find in their primary laws will
strike disinterested observers as about as
useful as the inquiries which inferior
whist players bold over hands they have
played. known 10 the impatient as cor
oners' inquests.r The game was played
on November =. The adversary took an
unexpected number of tricks. and now
there is 10 be learned session on why.
The faults which the public md with
the primary laws are a matter of com
mon notOriety. There is probably moth
ing more familiar than the unanswered
criticisms that have been made upon the
convention system Of nominations. They
have been repeated Gd RdHseam. Recent
experience has added nothing 10 them.
nor has IL subtraeted anything from
them. They are 10 be summed up in the
statement that the delegate system does
not do what il pretends 10 do. The dele
gates do not represent those who voted
for them in the convention. and they do
not choose the candidates. They represent
certain potent individuals within the
parties, and they have the candidates
chosen for them by those individuals. To
this il is replied that the viii Of the
people controls these individuals. leaders
or bosses. as they NAV be called. and
that thus the result of the convention
reflects the popular intention. But that
itself is an argument for the abandon
ment Of conventions as useless. II the
delegates are mere figureheads, why con-
tinue 10 name them?
IL is because the delegate Is a hgure-
head and because the whole Of the pres
ent machinery Of making nominations is
largely q pretence that the public is dis
satisfied The boss, even when he does
his work well and does not abuse his
position. is out of place in the institu-
tiOns Of a self-governing people. and the
people are conscious Of the anomaly.
And bosses have done their work i'll so
many times that the people have little
confidence in them. There is every rea-
son 10 believe that the people desire and
are determined 10 take 10 themselves the
l1h1i ~ NDAAiol NAC pidNbtuA DuoiftSoS
% making nominations. With this de-
sire and determination the delegate sys-
TEN of choosing candidates does not COM
port. for it has been shown by long
practice that this system is not truly
representative.
The faults which the public finds with
the present plan are so notorious that
legislative inquiry into them seems as
absurd as would be legislative inquiry
as 10 why children do not like castor
Oil. The present investigation will affect
public opinion as much a. have the pre-
vious Investigations OF the joint commit
tee. And how much Of an influence

rRE HCNGARIAN CRISIS.

TIE resignation Of Mr.. Kossuth from
pendence party is ominous 10 Hungary
and 10 the relations between that king
dom and the Austrian Empire. When he
wGs first received in friendly conference
by the King against whom his father had
rebelled and who had sought 10 destroy
that father as a traitor, fl was hoped
that the differences OF the past had been
irrevOcably buried and that new bond
of concord and union had been estab-
Iished between the two realms. There is
reason 10 believe that both the King
and Mr.. KosSuth desired that 10 be the
case. But that welcome dream has
vanished IA a rude awakening TO a state
Of more intense, IF not more open. hos
tility than has been known before since
the adoption Of Deak's compromise in
1867.
The present troubles began a little
more than q month ago, when Mr.. Kos
suth again went 10 the King with what
was practically an ultimatum. The Mag
var demands which he made were three
in number. one was the use OF The Mag
yar language and dag in the Hungarian
army, a demand which has for years
been one Of the most serious objects Of
contention 10 the Dual Realm. The sec
Ond was the organization Of a separate
Hungarian banking system IN place of
tie present joint system. The third was
the immediate enactment of q so-called
universal suffrage law, which, IL was
suspected by many, Was calculated to
confirm and perpCtu2te the pOliticsl
dominance Of the Magyars in Hungary.
II these were granted, complete recon-
ciliation between the Magyars and their
King would be assured. II not. the In
dependence movement in Hungary would
be revived, and efforts would be directed
toward dissolution of the dynastic union.
Of these propositions that for a sep
arate Hungarian bank WIS most con
tested, since il was believed al Vienna,
and indeed very largely at Budapest. that
Two separate and smaller state banks
would be much weaker and would enjoy
less credit than the Austro- Hungarian
Bank. which now controls the fiscal af-
fairs OF tile two nations. II was also
pointed out that Mr.. KOssuth made no
promise aud gave no hint concerning
iinngary's attitude toward the dispOsi-
tion of Bosnia and Herzegovina. although
il WAS recognized that that would be one
OF the eraVest of questions for settle
merit In The not remote future.
The result was that while the venerable
King might have been inclined 10 grant
the Hungarian demands. the heir pre-
sumptive the Austrian Archduke Francis
Ferdinand. set his face like a mint against
them. and ia doing 50 VAS backed boy

by Nj. Frelinghuysen with Lord Gran
willie in 1sS1-'s2. when the British gov
eminent reasserted the validity OF the
CLAYTON -Bulver treaty and its presump-
tive application 10 the Isthmus OF Pan
anna presumption which was not con-
ctded by this country and which Great
Britain probably never would have un-
dertaken 10 enforce. Obviously. more
over. that very contention OF Lord Gran
ville's twenty eight years ago implies
confirmation OF our right TO fortify the
canal now. since the Clayton -Bulwes
treaty has been specifically superseded
by the y-pauncefote treaty and the
latter contains no prohibition of fortif-
cation. while 10 does provide that the
United States shall have the exclusive
right OF regulating. managing. policing
ard protecting the canal. which obvious
ly may imply the right to construct nee
essary Notifications. at any rate, no
nation but Great Britain has even pre-
text for questioning our right TO fortify
the canal. and Great Britain in the face
OF our unconcealed intention of so doing
has not raised the question. aud We may
be- sufficiently sure that, as General
Davis confidently declares, she will moi
do so. for We are pursuing precisely the
course which she would pursue If she
were in our place.
We may say more than that, as Cen
cral Davis does. We are pursuing and
are planning to continue TO pursue az
Panama precisely such course as that
which Great Britain has pursued at Suez
with canal which is at least as much
q neutral highway as that at Panama
is to be, and In which Great Britain has
not nearly so exclusive right and III
terest as we have in the canal which we
are building. The Suez Canal has been
freely open TO belligerents in two wars.
so long as they committed no acEs OF war
therein. But If some nation were at war
with Great Britain, General Davis peril
nently asks, is il conceivable that its
waTships would be permitted 10 pass
through the Suez Canal? 1T Is un-
"thinkable, unless that hostile power had
"a force adequate TO c"ercOme British
resistance" That is the state OF affairs
al SueZ. 'and the world appears 10 be
quite reconclled 10 the status quo"
General Davis concludes that il is the
traditional and declared policy Of the
United States 10 control and defend the
Panama Canal as part of its own coast
line; that neither public law nor moral
obligation is in conflict with that policy,
and that fortifcations at Panama are as
essential 10 the protection Of our na-
tional interests as they are on the coasts
Of the United States itself. In those
conclusions he will have the thoughtfui
and earnest support of the nation.

TEE COLLTERY DISASTER.

Again there has been that wholesale
sacrifice Of life with which the mining
industry has become painfully familiar.
This time the number of victims, al
most four hundred, is rather above
the average. As has only too often been
the case In the past. the tragedy nj
Cherry acquires an added pathos from
the death of half a dozen men who en-
gagged IN futile attempts at rescue
The immediate cause OF the slaughter
seems 10 he unmistakable. Through
somebody's neglect fire was permitted to
spread from a heap OF smouldering hay
TO the timbers of the mine. thus creating
a double danger Not only was the Sc
curity Of the walls and roof lessened by
the destruction OF perishable supports
but there was an explosion from the ig-
milton of gas which had accumulated in
the drifts aud Shafts OF the mine. Since
the persons who we're chiefly responsible
for the catastrophe probably persisted
with their fellow workmen, they cannot
be called to an account.
Yet perhaps il is not utterly hopeless
TO draw a profitable lesson from the
latest instance OF carelessness which
ought TO be regarded as crime. There
is abundant evidence that the miners
themselves occasionally violate rules in
tended for their protection and for the
protection OF their fellows. They open
their safety lamps and light matches In
order 10 enjoy quiet smoke before
emerging from the mine. spirit or
comradeship or some other seemingly
worthy motive restrains those who Wit
ness such acts from reporting them.
Often no harm ensues. but there Is
probability almost amounting 10 a GER
tainty that in at least few instances
highly disastrous consequences will FOL
lew.
Is il not possible 20 bring new in
fluence to bear 10 check these practices:
Cannot a campaign OF education be
started which will cultivate the proper
sentiment toward them among the min
ers themselves? Would not the condem~
nation OF ones associates prove more eI-
feetive than any threat Of dismissal by
an employer? Could the labor unions 70
which many Of the coal miners belong
engage in a nobler service than wagins
an energetic and intelligent war on
usages which imperil life and threaten
TO create hundreds of widows and or
phans in a single day? Could Mr.. John
Mitchell say or do anything 10 promote
a movement Of this kind?
