little opposition to him, in fact. mat
no one else made application for the
appointment. and h was named and
qualified to continue in office with
practically no talk on the subject.
The Daily Press does not believe
in the idea Of having the commission
ers OF revenue appointed by the
courts and was glad TO see the legis-
lature put the power back into the
hands of the people. We might not
always be so fortunate as to have the
appointment of the court in accord
ance with the wishes OF majority OF
the people.

THE USUAL COMPLAINTS
AGAINST THE PRIMARY.

A timely editorial on the primary
system was published in the Rich
mond News Leader yesterday after
noon. Even before the close OF the
recent general primary campaign In
Virginia the opponents OF the systems
were beginning to talk about the
dreadful results" of the primary plan
aud 10 predict that unless a change
fR made the Democratic party Will
soon DE defeated in the State. In this
connection The News Leader says:
AS might have been expected.
ciamor against the general primary
begins promptly after the announce
ment of the result OF Thursday. From
all sides come demands for return
20 the old convention system and
dreary predictions that II the primary
is continued the Democratic party in
Virginia win be split to pieces. We
are told that all the bitterness and
strife and so-called mud Singing and
the indifference OF voters. as proved
by the small vote. are the results OF
the primary. The machine people. al
though they have won two success
i've victories with the general and d.
rect primary. oppose 1t bitterly, prob
ably because It keeps them scared
half out of their lives and forces
thcm In selecting their candidates to
consult public sentiment and interest
rather than their own preferences.
The anti-machine people insist that
with the primary they never can
overcome the machine. Many disin-
terested citizens. seeing some OF the
unfortunate facts and results of pcliti-
ties, Jump. without thinking. 10 the
conclusion that the primary is re-
sponsibie for them. and that with
conventions we would be relieved OF
them"
Leaders in what Is known as the
..machine" and Republicans are the
chief complainers against the primary
in Newport News. The rank and
file of the Democratic party locally
know tina. II Is only through the prim-
sry that they are able to choose
their ow nofficers and most Of them
knew why there is opposition to inc
system. The real organization politi-
clans. or some of them. at least
would like to see the primary abolish
ed because II is well nigh impossible
for the organization to manipulate
things TO its satisfaction as long as
the voters insist upon actually choos
ing their nominees by vote. On the
other hand. the Republicans hit the
primary a lick at every opportunit,
because they know that nothing woulS
be SO liable to throw Virginia int
the Republican ranks. and thereb,
give them the distinction Of break
lag the solid South" as a return t.
the old ward meeting and convention
plan by the Democratic party.

Under this system of selecting their
narty's candidate the Democrats OF
Virginia are afforded every oppor-
unity for a full. fair and free ex-
rression of their wishes. Every nee
essary safeguard Is provided Tor

result 'of todays election, Judging
from the past. will be accepted as
the will of the majority of Democrats
In battle OF ballots untainted py
fraud or corrupt practice OF any KIND.
The candidates for the gubernatorl-
al nomination have made a thorough
and spirited campaign. with the re-
sult that the Democracy OF Virginia
has been stirred to its depts by the
eloquence and invective of the rival
aspirants for the governorship. These
distinguished political gladiators have
landed heavy blows on each other. Al
though each is a gentleman of high
caracter personally. each lawyer OF
excellent attainments, any unsophIs-
ticated citizen of Virginia. not know
ing that scathing denunciation ana
systematic disparagement are merely
a part of the game. might entertain
doubts as to the qualifications or
either candidate for the Goyernorship.
AS a matter of fact. the government
of the Old Dominion will be safe in
the hands of either Mr.. Tucker or
Judge Mann. whose records justify
public confidence in both. despite their
persistent efforts TO demonstrate the
unfitness of each other. They are men
OF known integrity, eager to promote
the welfare Of the State, and the po-
litical irregularities and inconsistent
cies which each had laid at the door
of the other are of trifing import
ance and will be forgotten after to-
days primary.
The Democratic primary nomination
in Virginia is considered equivalent
to election in the general battle OF
the ballots IN November Today the
chief gladiators. Judge Mann and Mr.
Tucker. will have the referee-the
Virginia Democracy-will give final
decision. The previous rounds have
been fougs with vigor and have
brought out all the points of the

Buyinu a Horse.

In an Ohio town there is still main
tanned stage-coach system of trans
portation. the steeds whereof are of
that sad appearance presented by the
horses attached to the Fifth avenue
line in New York not so many years

One day a Cincinnati man, visiting
the town in question. boarded the
stage, having no other currency than

DON JAIME IN A BARkIS AT
TlTuDE.

When the Spanish government af
ter many terrible days and nights
during which IL seemed that authority
was liable to be overthrow at any
moment. finally appeared TO have crush
ed the life out of the revolving Gaia
lcnian masses. Don Jaime. the Carliss
pretender to the throne OF Spain, is
sued a broadminded and patriotic
statement to the world. He declared
with emphasis that ne did not pro-
pose 20 profit by the misfortunes OF
his country and would never lead
Spaniard against Spaniard. He even
went so far as to say that the
Moroccan war probably was unayoid-
able, and. according TO press dis
patches, his action to great
extent lulled the governments fears
of Carlist movement at this time.
Now II seems that the position OF
the government is nothing like so Sc
cure as it appeared few days ago and
that the sparks of life in the rebel
lion is burning more brightly than
ever. famed by the deep under cur
rent of resentment against the fearful
repressive measures employed by the
military authorities in subduine insur-
rectionists in the streets of Barcelona
and elsewhere. The Moroccan war
gives promise of lasting indefinitely,
and altogether Spain does not seem
to be any nearer permanent quiet and
stability than she was before artii-
lery clea.ed Barcelona of open dis
ordes.
Under thu existing conditions, with
the pillars of the present government
shaking so that an additional shock
might be expected to bring on a crash,
Don Jaime apparently is not quite so
sure that he will never lead Span
lard against Spaniard" Dispatches
during the past day or two
have stated that the Carlists
are seriously considering TAX
ing a hand in the situation. And
II is said that Don Jaime may issue
a manifesto declaring that while he
has no desire to profit by the misfor-
tune of his country" IL the present
government is unable to deal with the
situation "he viii act. In other
words, If Alfonso's government gets its
hands so full with malcontents at
home and Moors abroad that there is
n chance of it not being able to sue
cessfully resist Carlist movement
to place Don Jaime on the throne,
Don Jaime Will manage to forget all
about those disinterested. patriotic
sentiments uttered a few days ago.
Don jaime, like Barkis, is willin'.
