istered vote of California amounted to
1,o25. .o66, that is. less than one-third
of the legally registered vote Of Cali.
fornia was cast at this primary, in
spite Of all OF the agitation and sup
posed excitement among tho people.
Not only arc the primaries thus a
distinct fraud upon the Republican
party and a menace to its existence, as
well as a ridiculous travesty on the
idea that they express the popular will
when the people, in fact, cannot be
got out to vote at them, they are also
the most openly and shamclcssly cor
rupt of all the methods ever under
taken to ascertain the popular will up
on any subject wbatever. We find in
tho New York Evening Post some fig
ures that are absolutely astounding on
this point. That paper shows that
Roosevelt's s New York managers spent
five dollars for every vote that Roose-
welt received in the recent primaries
in New York county. In Pennsylvania
S2,000,000 were spent on the primaries.
In Pittsburgh the cost was $98,635, of
which the former 'boss' but now the
"tribune Of tho people" contributed
S22,70 to the Roosevelt activities. 1t
will be remembered that Senator
Stephenson of Wisconsin admitted the
spending of $107, 900 to get a plurality
in the Wisconsin primaries when he
was the last time n candidate for the
q. 8. Senate The Senate Committee
exonerated him from all charges OF
corruption by reason Of the fact that
tho money was not spent in his actual
election, but only in his campaign for
the party nomination at the primaries.
And so all of the corruptions that have
been known heretofore, all the vast
money-spending at elections, has passed
into eclipse by the gorgeous expendi-
lures and corruptions OF the socalled
reform primaries, at which the people
were supposed to express their will,
but in which the people. in fact, show
strange reluctance to appear. The
vast expenditures Indicated not only
have failed to get out the popular vote,
but they have shown that the Repub-
lican party is put at the mercy of the
Democratic vote in the selection oil
delegates to the Republican National
Convention, a condition at once de.
structive of all party ties and obiga-
tions, and in which the party is made
the victim Of opposition unfriendliness.

OTHER VESSELS LOST.

The icebergs and floes off New
foundland have been Of unusual magni-
tude this year, and the icefields have
been not only much further south
than usual. but have been in eztraordi
nary degree more dense and extensive
than ever before known. The loss Of
the Titanic was such a stupendous al
fair and so attracted universal atten-
tion, that il is only now that the pub
lie hears Of the loss Of other vessels
from substantially the same cause.
Thus we find statement in the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican that
the list Of missing ships is CROWN
1t recites that the small Norwegian
steamer Tamfjord left Louisburg for
Newfoundland on January Goth, and has
not been heard Of since On February
Goth the British steamer Erna left the
CLYDE for st. Johns, n. F., and is now
posted at Lloyds for inquiry. On
March goth the Norwegian steamer
Romsdal saw q large steamship Of 5000
tons or more fast in the ice. but was
unable to respond to her signals for
help. 1t may have been the Erna, but
no later information has come. Our
Massachusetts, contemporary considers
that "it would be singular if there
were not many accidents to chronicle
after such an invasion Of the Atlantic
by the Arctic, but the loss of mere
tramp with all hands usually passes
unnoticed by the public; it takes a

service needs overhauling quite as
much as the passenger service. The
hfeboat problem is simple, but the in.

supervision Of hulls and motive power
would do much for safety.
All of which raises terrifying possi-

COAL CASES oBsTRUoTED.

The announcement from Washington
that the General Land Office has inval-
idated the Freed coal land entries in
this State, comes as a surprise. The
local land Office had passed those en-
tries as valid. and the attorney con
suited on the law Of the case, who is
now the U. s. Attorney of this Federal
Judicial District, assured the holders
Of these claims that the entries were
perfectly legal and valid. We did not
suppose that there could be any ques
tion about it.
In this connection, we may cite the
decision Of the Federal Court of the
Ninth Judicial Circuit recently in San
Francisco, concerning the timber land
entries upon which there has been so
much dispute in Idaho and Oregon.
That decision settled the Idaho con-
tested timber entries, and also the en-
tries held by Mr.. David Eccles at Og-
den. The entry Of tho timber lands
and the sale of the claims OF the entry
men were fully validated by that de-
cision.
By parity Of reasoning. those who
enter coal lands are entitled also to
sell their claims, and investors may
lawfully buy them. At the time that
the entries purchased by Mr.. Freed
were made, there had been no with
drawals of coal land, and the law was
fully complied with in the case Of those
entries. This was so clearly shown,
that the local U. S. Land Office passed
the entries as lawful and correct. The
General Land Office, however, appears
to have got the idea that there was
something wrong about the transaction,
and has reversed the local Land Office
ruling.
If the same reasoning would apply
in the case OF these coal land entries
that the Ninth Judicial Circuit Court
and there would appear to be no rea-
son why the same reasoning should not
apply to both, the coal land entries re
ferred to are lawful, and should have
been passed. 1t is singular that the
OF the Government should
DS az OuuS WlIn lLSSll III regard 10 d
matter of this kind. When the Federal
Circuit Court passes on any question Of
this kind, it would seem as thou~h the
departments ought to be governed by
the court decision and the
stated. Eventually, they
must be governed by it, and
the effect Of the decision of
the General Land Office in these cases
is therefore likely to amount merely
to this, that it will cost the holders Of
those lands some more money to affirm
their title in the courts, although the
same principle has already been adjudi-
Gated and decided in favor of the con-
tention which they will make. 1t would
seem as though the General Land Of
fee. therefore. might have either con-
formed to the decision OF the Circuit
Court. or have waited until the Su-
preme Court Of the United States had
finally passed upon the principles in
volvcd. and then those principles would
have been settled for all time, not only
in the matter Of timber entries, but Of
coal land and other entries as we'll
