GREAT BRTTAIN'S ELECTION.

political system, our method Of han

election ordered In Great Britain be-
fore Christmas. As It Is much less

arranged for the several polling
places in Craig county, at which the
democratic candidates may present
their claims for nomination to the

You, being aspirants for the nomin-
alton, on the democratic ticket, to the
Office of county Judge, should be both
willing and ready to advocate your

daeies.

Mr.. cHoATE PROGRESSING.

Joseph Hodges Choate became sew
enty-eight years of age about dawn
on Monday morning. Mr.. Choate, for
some elusive reason lis still consider
ed young man by the great majority
of his fellow citizens. Mr.. ChOate was
for some years the leader Of the New
York bar and was subsequently So
cial leader at the Court Of st. James.
It is generally understood that Mr..
Choate spent most Of what he made
in New York promoting general inter-
est in Americans while he conducted
the intricate and difficult negotiations
incumbent upon an American ambas-
sador to the English court.
The worst of these was probably
the work of getting sudden-million-
aires from the West into the best of
London's clubs, even though temper
arily. Contributors to Republican cam
paign funds made things strenuous for
Mr.. Choate while he was in England.
so now that he has reached the eighth
year-stone beyond the scriptural three
score and ten, Mr.. Choate deserves a
rest. For the most part, he has used
his wealth and brilliant intellect to
the welfare of his country and the
French vineyards whose champagne
is SO dearly loved by the British.
Among Mr.. Choate's many admirers
there is none who hates him more
than Thomas Fortune Ryan, for which
we press forward in the congratula-
tory throng with our best wishes for
his continued health.-New Orleans
