PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
A few years ago primary elections
were general all over the state.
There had been so much complaint
of packed conventions that prima
ries were everywhere resorted to,
and the result was satisfactory in
in every case, as soon as the peo
ple began to rest satisfied and to
pay no more attention to the sub
ject, the old methods began to re
turn. It suited politicians to have
conventions. They were more easily
controlled. The result is that prima
ries for a year or two have not been so
general as formerly. It is time to
revert to them. L'he election of a
governor is settled by the nomina
tion of the Democratic party, and
the people should have a voice in
the nomination. Every Demo
crat should have a voice in it;
There should be no middle men to
come between the voter and his
choice. He should have the chance
to express his sentiments in a pri
mary poll. The sentiment so ex
pressed will represent the will of
the people and ought'to be satisfac
tory to everybody.

WATTERSON-HIS WAY.
Henry Watterson has spoken, and
the star-eyed Goddess has shed
tears. She has wept new weeps
over the Wilson bill. Henry has
built up a man of straw and knock
ed him down, whereupon the God
dess put’flowers on his grave. This
is a very sad and touching spectacle.
It would be extremely pathetic, but
for a few touches of humor, which
the incomparable Watterson puts on
bis closing utterances. He begins
by saying these are the days of
small things, and ends by saying he
will be satisfied with small potatoes.
Between the Alpha and the Omegoj
of his speech there is thunder, I
lightning and rain, with finally a
clearing sky. The Goddess smiles
through April tears, before she dis
appears from view.
Speakins as rational men, we are .
inclined to ask, why this thusneas?
Mr. Wilson begins of
GO per cent one about j
.thirty. a good year’s I
work for tariff reform? Henry Clay,
the great expounder of Mr. Watter
son’s favorite idea of a tariff for rev
enue, estimated the average rate of
duty at twenty per cent. Clearly
we have got to levy some tax on
imports. Else, how shall we provide
a revenue to defray the expense of
government, however economically
administered?
The sensible thing to do is to re
move as much of the tariff as we can
without placing it in position to be
immediately repealed. The Wilson
tariff is such a measure. If passed
as reported, it will not be repealed.
It may be amended in a few years
by further reductions of duty, but
the measure is sufficiently entrench
ed in conservatism to resist attacks
by its enemies, and to gain such fa
vor in the experiment that people
will sustain a further reduction a
few years hence. But this does not
suit the impetuous Watterson. He
believes in shutting his eyes and
going it blind. Fortunately, our
statesmen are not so disposed to
leap in the dark. They recognize
the truth of the saying that “states
manship is the science of circum
stances,” and it is a shallow states
manship which fails to take cir
cumstances into account.
If there are any candidates for
municipal honors who have not an
nounced, they ought to come out of
the woods and let the people see
them. The dark horse business is
not creditable. If they have noth
ing to be ashamed of, let them come
out in the broad light of day where
the people can see them and size
them up.
A correspondent from Stilesboro
writes that a very large crop of
grain has been sown in that neigh
borhood. Similar reports come
from all parts of North west Georgia.
The demand for farms to rent is
unusually large. Captain C. N.
Featherston says he has six appli
cants where he had one last year.
Reform in the Jury Room.
[Blue and Gray for January.]
Trial by jury baa always been more or
less of a farce, and is gradually becom
ing more so. No one has ever explained
exac'ly why perfect unanimity is required
of a jury when a majority, greater or less,
is allowed to decide all other matters of
contention. It is hard to see why the
majority rule may not be applied in the
jury-room with perfect justice. Less
time and money would be squandered on
worthless criminals if the present cue
toms were abolished. As the case now
stands, it is comparatively easy for coun
sel to secure the necessary “one stubborn
man,” whose power the law renders ab
solute to defeat the wishes of his eleven
colleagues and, perhaps the of jus
tice. All sorts of pretexts affecting
merely one juryman may undo weeks of
work, and cause the waste of much pub
lic money. Only a few days since, dur
ing the progress of a noted trial, the sud
den real or feigned (it does not matter
which) insanity of one of the jurors com
pelled an entire.re-tria), with great at
tendantcosts. 0 ntingencies of this sort
may arise at any time, and are not only
expensive but clearly detr mental to the
administration of justice.
A reform is also needed in the rules for
the selection of jurors. It is impossible
jary_sa.mpoßed of jnteljigejjt
citizens to try a case that has filled the
public prints without excepting men who
have already “formed opinions.” The
test of moral integrity and good horse
sense would be far better than the ordi
nary test of ignorance—lor that is what
the law requires in manv cases.
Hard Times a Blessing.
[Blue and Gray for January.]
The “uses of adversity” are practical
as wed “sweet.” The American people,
unconsciously it may be, are accustomed
to a degree of luxury unknown in other
lands. A period of ceaseless growth and
development, such as we have enj >yed,
brings prosperity to every class. It has
been gravely asserted that this country,
though in its youth a land of plenty for
all, must in its maturity settle down to
the condition in which we now see older
nations—'he bulk of the wealth in a few
hands, and the “common people” a strug
gling herd, unused to anything but the
mere necessities of existence. The logic
of history shows that there is an element
of probability in this unpleasant prog
nostication, and that the danger is palpi
j ble, even though it may be remote. At
| all events, we may not consider the pre
vailing depression an unmixed evil. It
is well, sometimes, for a to be
forced to practice economy, so that ail
may learn the value not only of a dollar
Unbroken prosperity,
of an individual or a nation, is
productive of evil. The uses of adver
sity are to teach lessons of retrenchment
j and economy, and the result is to restore
I the balance and re-adjust the items of
| earnings and expenses.
America’s Only Frostless Belt.
What is supposed to bethoonly frost
less belt in tbo United States lies be
tween the city of Los Angeles and the
Pacific ocean. It traverses the foothills
of the Cahuenga range and has an ele
vation of between 200 and 400 feet. In
breadth it is perhaps three miles. The
waters of the Pacific are visible from
it, and tho proximity of the ocean has
of course something to do with banish
ing frosts. During the winter season
this tract produces tomatoes, peas,
beans and other tender vegetables, and
here the lemon flourishes, a tree that is
peculiarly susceptible to cold. Tropical
trees may be also cultivated with suc
cess, and in connection with this fact it
is interesting to know that a part of the
favored territory has been acquired by
Los Angeles for park purposes, and it
is only a question of time when the city
will have the unique distinction of pos
sessing the only tropical park in the
United States. Strange to say, only
the midway region of the Cahuenga
range is free from frost, the lower part
of the valley being occasionally visited,
