The Trndency of a Humbug-
Some rather casual observations by a
oorrespondent of Thb SfN last summer
pointed to the conclusion that the sys
tem of elections through the medium of
the primaries might not turn out. to be
in practice all that the fancy of the rain
bow chasers had painted it in theory.
Now that wo have had some figures,
rather incomplete to be sure, to give at
least a tinge of color to calculation In
the case of the recent Maryland prima
ries, it is quite possible to make a more
or leaa accurate appraisement on broad
lines of the financial aspect of the sys
tem in general.
A Baltimore newspaper which, being
a Republican organ, may conceivably
have no reason to minimi aa (ho cost of
a Democratic function, tells us that one
of the candidates confesses to spending
$25,000. while his antagonist, evidently
more bashful, pleads guilty to "about"
7,500. This discrepancy may be ex
plained to some extent by showing that
the 17 ..Vio man already had "the organ
ization" under control and that the
$17,500 in excess of this sum expended
by his opponent represented the cost of j
creating and equipping the indispen
sable machinery.
The disclosure, however, seems to ,
confirm certain screams of anguish we
heard from Virginia last June when I
candidates were calling heaven (o wit- j
ness that it cost them from $r,nno to I
$10,000 each to get themselves before
the people. Moreover it throws a whole
flood of liht on the thoughtful frugality
of the Hon. HoKE Smith (wo months
later in (leorgia when, having a per
fectly trained legislature at his dis
posal, he ignored the means by which
he had obtained the Governorship and
took the Senatorial toga by the simple
and inexpensive expedient f asking for 1
it at (he Capitol.
But we think it qui(e within reason lo j
nasume that a contest for the House of 1
Representative, even with the strict- !
set economy, will cost tho individual at ,
least $6,000 to Ix-gin with, a contest for
the Senate n( leas( $10,000, and the race
toe Governor and minor offices more or '
lees, according to local conditions anil j
the high soulod indifference of the work
ers to mere money. These we should ,
call the fixefi charges of the primaries,
though they may be and in all probabil
ity are absurdly misleading; but once t he
primary system gets firmly grounded in
usage and popular credulity and all hope
of such Hoke Smith evasions as we have
described forever are cut off, the tariff
will steadily rise until even politicians
of comparatively moderate means will
be excluded and the bosses attain pro
fessional rank.
We perceive that here and there, at
least in fhe South, there are the begin
nings of timid if somewhat rueful con
templations. In certain instances we
note a disposition to amendment and
melioration. In others we perceive
the beginnings of a rude inquiry into
the merits of a system which inflexibly
excludes poor men from office and en
dows the bosses with larger, more re
munerative and far better preserved
fields of activity. No doubt in some
remote cloister tho rapt visionary adum
brates a situntion in which the cam
paign toiler will work for nothing,
'printing presses maintain themselves,
transportation he had for the asking,
and aspirants encouraged, perhaps as
sisted, In (heir worthy aspirations. Thus
far, however, the tendency ot thepri
Ciary system is as we have stated.
We consider the problem in a spirit of
unruffled calm. Our faith is (hat the
American people are sound of mind, and
that no( for long or very far can they
be betrayed by impractical dreamers or
jclfish mountebanks.

A French Precedent In North Africa.
Seekers afler historical parallels for
the present Italian expedition (o Tripoli
will find in the circumstances of the '
original French descent upon African
shores an astonishing number of points
of resemblance, which may well have
for the Italians a sinister suggestion for
the future of their venture.
The French expedition which cap
tured Algiers nailed from Toulon in the
month of May, 1M0. A huge flotilla, that of twenty years ago. Real protec
perhaps unrivalled since the days of tionists and possible Republicans hold
the Spanish Armada, transposed somn aloof from an organization the personnel

officers who had begun their campaigns j
under Napoleon and escorted by the
entire war navy of France. After sev
eral mishaps, Including one retreat after
the African shore had been sighted.
the French army was landed at thejment of that highly intelligent and be- j
peninsula of Sidl Ferruch, ten miles to nign adjustment.
the west of Algiers, and while the fleet
bombarded the city the army began
its tiresome march along the slopes of
Mount Bouzarca.
Algiors. at this time a city not larger ;
than Tripoli to-day, was garrisoned by a
small Turkish force, which was promptly
reenforced by large conl ingents of Arabs
from the interior provinces. Almost im
mediately the French troops were com
pelled to fight with the Turks on the
hillside of Htaoueli, where the famous
Trappist monos(ery was eubseqiienfly
erected. The battle was brief , the Turk-
ish troops were defeated, the native con-
tingent put to flight. On .lulv i the
French batteries destroyed the Turkish
works about the Fort de I'Empereur and
the capitulation of (he Poy was signed
the satr.e day.
Thus after a campaign of less than n
month Algiers Ml. The loss (o the French I
in tlie campaign was inconsiderable, the j
defence had been ridiculously inefficient .
The Turkish troops and the defeated j
ruler were put on transports and sent to
1 urkey, and r rencn troois were ot once
sent out to occupy the coast towns of
Oran, Bona and Bougie, and the con
flict was proclaimed us ended and
French supremacy seemed assured.

Ten years after the (irst campaign
(he French were restricted to the coast
towns and a few fortifi.sl posts at the
north of the Atlas, while Abd-K.i.-Kadkr.
the famous Arab chieftain, was master
of the whole western half of Algeria,
and from Tunis to Morocco llie entire
country was the scene of carnage and
disorder and futile conflicts.
Fourteen years after the landing at
Bidi Ferruch the French triumphed over

and went into permanent exile.
But the conquest was not yet accom
plished. Campaigns in Grande Kaby
lia, the Berber Switzerland of Algeria,
continued with undiminished violence
until 1S59. South of the Atlas, (lie
whole length of the Sahara, the French
troops as they advanced to the oases,
to Biskra in 1840, Iaighuut in 18,r2 and I
Tuggurt in 1HS. were exposed too form
of warfare strongly reminiscent of the
Indian campaigns on the North Amer
ican plains.
In 1HH0, after the thirty years of in
cessant warfare, which hud cost thou
sands of lives and untold millions of
money, the French again announced
that the conquest was completed. Vet
ten years later, on the morrow of the
Franco-Prussian war, while France was
still staggering under (he weight of
a Kuropcan reverse, a new insurrection
broke oui and the burning farms of the
massacred European settlors could be
seen from the walls of Algiers.
So far as the nature of the country is
concerned, Algiers offered far better
opportunities for European military
operations than does Tripoli. Its in
habitants were vasdy less fanatical,
Intolerant, ignorant. For centuries tha
Turkish suzerainty had been only a
cloak for the rule of Christ iau renegades

the question still unsettled.
It is easy, therefore, to look with
slight conviction upon any early suc
cesses of the Italian', including possibly
the prompt capture of Tripoli and Ben
gasi. Kven the elimination of Turkey

It is clear that at the South the Repub

Lew Shank anil the Potato t'orner.
The Hon. LW Shank. Mayor of In- '
dianapolis, is basking in the limelight
again. Any workable plan to break a
corner in potatoes or in anv other food
oraple is to be heartily commended,
sometimes the middlemen seem to be

business he accepts a check for a much

Such stories of the betrayal of the pro
ducer and the looting of the consumer
are onlv too common.
Recently potatoes in
Indianapolis
have Xtot'ti outrageously high, although
cheap enough on the farm. In fact, il
(,u been oharged that there was a cor
tier. The Hon. I.kw Sbank. always a
friend of the people, bought a carload
of potatoes in Michigan and paid (he
freight wi(h (he design of selling them
at cost in Indianapolis. A despatch from
that oity says:
" Four of ihe Uayor'a wagon will hod them
ibrough the atreeia to th rliy market, and Ui
Mayor aaya he will have the wagons preceded by
a traaa band to attract attention lo th potainea
end Inipreea ihe people with the fart that the
combiae'l strength can he broken."
The brass band sounds like Law Shank .
The music and fhe spectacle and the
cheap potatoes should help him in his
campaign for reelection, but a wicked
middleman is quoted as saying:
" Just tat the Mayor ship some potatoes in here
and we will be laying for him We II make ihe
Mayor believe all ot ihe potatoe In the world
have been emptied Into Imilanapolla "
Mayor Shank is in the stogie business
and does not usually deal in potatoes.
Tl, middlaman will have him on the
hip unless he continues to bring in po
tatoes indefinitely to sell (o an oppressed
people al cos(. The middlemen are
selling pola(oes all Ihe time; (he Hon.
I.kw Shank only for a political flier.
If he wants lo be a true friend of the
people he must have the law on the
dealers, or he must become a pota(o
merchant ami eliminate the middle
man altogether.

orders and under whose supervision tht
largtr number of haaketa were burned,
attended a meeting of farmers at Mtneola,
when he heard much that was evidently

visited hia branch offices at Long Island
City and in the Town Hall, .lamaioa. where
basket were being eealtd by one of hi
official sealers and where I saw the so-called
standard basket as sealed would contain
considerably more than a bushel after a
week's use. as it is well known to all who
us these bnket that the more they or
used the more thty contain.

Ihe baskets which are received by the farmers
contain the name of Ihe makers atampe.1 thereon
but no aerial number.

i thai he verily believes thai It will be a physical
lmposslhllll for the farmers to comply with l tie
provlalons of tne aforesaid ord1an-r for some

Peponent further saya that he Is Informed that
a number of the farmera have failed to place
