PRIMARY USE OF PRIMARIES.
Tka new primary law will prove a
God tend to tha politician and tha busi
ness man. It offers them a secretive
and admirable resource for disposing of
tha hydra-headed candidate with dis
patch and aplomb. Tha Mums will
never reveal tha storiea of individual
bad faith, and tha defeated candidate
will never know who to blame for the
downfall of his ambitions. It i iro
measurably useful in thi line, and
tide from any positive and inherent
virtue and commendable utilities it
may have, this one convenience will
render it so popular that it will be
bard to displac. Half the burdens of
political life may be swept into the
primary ballot boxes and be buried be
yond redemption and reproach. And it
li a good thing withal, for it diveits the
campaign of a hoard of bitter feuds
and party tore, and smoothes the way
for "chucking" personal reponibili
ties, that were, otherwise, too onerous
entirely. And if thi wene the only use
for the system it is almost enough to
commend it everlastingly to the popu
1.r m and sufferance. It has been

of the sort imposed upon th dance

whole lot worse than some of the bank

mere reminder in behalf of what ar
known as Hie "equities", and we hope
