THE STANDARD. PUBMSHdD EVERY FRIDAY BY D. ANTHONY & J. M. CROSS- TERMS : BE YEAR, CASiiN ADVANCE, - $1.25 SIX MONTHS - " . Friday, May 18, 188:). TOWXSHIP 1HIMARIES. As far as heard from we are pleas ed with the action of our Township primaries. In many instances no instructions have been given the delegations to support any one man for a particular office. The repre sentation from each township to the County convention will be of the very best citizen ax and their advan tages of knowing the wish of each and every one of their neighbors will, we believe, insure a satisfactory nom ination by the assembled delegates, to-morrow, and make it almost im possible to thwart the popular will. The action of these primaries con clusively shows that there has. been no attempt to buoy up any one aspi rant. We can but unreservedly voice the sentiment of the No. 8 voters in reference to doing away with a con vention for the nomination of coun ty officers, and the joining in with our sister county of Stanly in con vention for the selection of a senato rial candidate. This couny officer nomination convention has for years, been considered by many as a hum-. p;:g, and has resulted ot late Years. in th defeat of the nominees, not ber cause the selections were unfit for the offices, but because the. inde pendent element added to the Re publican vote, always, made a ma jority. We are glad that these staid, far-seeing business men of Eastern Cabarrus, whose democracy is with out a stigma, have taken the inde pendent bull bv the horns in the only way he can be conquered. Let all our aspirants for county officers be independent this time. The great scarecrow of a Republican winning is loh. The people of Cabarrus are level headed enough to attend to that little matter, and both Demo crats and Republicans will vote for none but good men. Self-interest is at stake. MEAT HOUSES AJfH COBS CRIBS. The above seems rather homely subjects for much consideration. While this may appear, they go right back to the foundation and the beginning of a country's welfare and prosperity. Fuller the meat house and corn cribs, better and healthier the condition of thex peo ple. But how has it been and in a great measure how is. it to-day The meat house in Cincinnati;, the corn crib in Richmond or Chicago! No wonder the people of this coun-. tryjiave been crying out, "There's a screw loose,; a tap's off." In the name of truth and hon-. esty, how could that noble class of our citizens, the farmers, and conse quently all other men, wear the smile of perfect contentment and financial ease, saying nothing oi their stomachs and those of theft animals, when for ten years the West and Northwest have been car rying the keys to. or store house of provisions. This is truth; it's a cold, hard fact. The very fact that a great part of our corn and meat that is to sustain life, have to be brought in from other states is enough to give us a cold, dry grjn. with an abundance of significance. m It was not always this way, nor is it to remain, long withpufe a great change being wrought. The farm ers are taking in the situation.- STATE NEWS.

Sanderlin is,put: in a, card asking the democracy for the nomination for Auditor. There are bts of me,n who would like to have the position, and" again there axe, many true and tried Democrats within the bounds of the Old North' State who have the qualifications for the position or any office within the gift of - the people. Because a man wants an office, "because he is quali fied, because he is a, preacher, $c., are by no. means adequate, grounds upon which his nomination should be made. Together with ability and moral worth, especially, in this a presidential campaign of more, than ordinary interest to the people- of the South, th,e nominees should "carry in. their make up a most splendid and -active record, and the hearts of the people in their behalf. No one doubts Mn Sanderiin's qualifications for tin? office, but itis doubtful if it is right and proper t forget the services of Gen. Roberts at home, in the, war,, ajwlin.the po sition he now holds, the duties of which he has attended to so well and so accurately during, the past t hree years. Let's keeps Roberts., in the old soldier. Woninti.SHirrtvflreh. The Louisville Journal reports that it has been a year since Kansas pave her women municipal suffrage, and the experiment does not seem to have been a success. On the contrary it is regarded, even by most of the women themselves, as a, failure.

Speaking to the committee, he said:. "I am satis fied that we are going to have agreat deal of opposition this fall, and .that it will come from a source we little expect. I have made up my- mind that I will go into the organization, whether I violate the civil service or not. I am a free man, and. thank God I have not been naad'toeat the leek,' The fact of my holding . an official position does not deprive me, of the light to assist the Democratic party in carrying the banner v.hen ever.I please. To deprive me of such a liberty is not the intention of the civil service, order. A number of gent'emen think.it is about time Mr. Cleveland put his guillotine to work. South is Coming. A.

I had an excellent chance to study this remarkable ruler of Venezuela, who is just now the foremost man in South America. Personally he is of imposing appearance and royal bear ing. Fully six feet in height, his tal wart frame is beginning to show age, for he is in his 60th year, and his mustache and imperial are almost white. His skin is bronzed with steady sun, and he has the most ef fective pair of .black byes I . have ever seen. Suave and courtly in manner, there was an occasional gleam . in them that told of a reserve of pas sion boding ill for an enemy in his power,. I would, as soon think of tampering with aloo.se tiger as with Guzman Blanco, in his present posi tion. To the autocratic power that he wields, .and to its exercise for his country's good, I. attribute the pres ent quiet, .prosperous condition of Venezeula. As I heard . from every hand, .until he was called to govern, no advance had . been . made after Spanish rule was overthrown ; since that time there has , been, no stop. The country is being opened up by railways; official corruption and misgpvernment is sternly punished when discovered;..! evolutions and anarchy nipped in the- beginuing ; commerce and all possible agricul ture flourishes, . and.- best of all, workingmen . are beginning to- de pend upon receiving, steady pay f Or steady work, a thing previously un known.
