The republicans managed to get in one member of congress from that district under that apportionment at the first election thereafter, but Mis-sissippi methods have prevented the re-turn of any republican to congress since then from that or any other Mis-sissippi district. But we need not go down into Dixie for exemplification of the prevalent demo-cratic practice of gerrymandering when that party gets into power temporarily, for we have brilliant examples of it to-day in Ohio and Indiana, to say noth-ing of Michigan and "Michiganizing." Ohio in 1888 gave IIakuison a plural-ity over Cleveland of 19,599 votes, and 49i per cent of the popular vote of the state. In 18S9 she gave Campbell, democrat, for governor, a plurality of 10,872, and a percentage of less than fortv-nin- e nf ihn nnimlnr vote, electinsr j I l ' o all of the other republican candidates for state officers except lieutenant-governor- , on which the vote wa3 in favor of the republican candidate but he was unseated. The democrats secured the legislature, however, and the gerry-mandered the state so that in 181)0 when the republicans elected all three of the state officers then chosen by pluralities of from 9000 to 11,000, and had nearly 4D per cent of the popular vote, they got seven out of the twenty-on- e con-gressmen elected, or just one-thir- d of the total. Indiana is another instance of demo-cratic gerrymandering. In 1888 she gave Harrison and the republican state ticket a plurality of 2300 and more than 49 per cent of the popular Tote, but the prior democratic government of the state had so districted it that the de-mocracy secured ten of the thirteen congressmen and nearly two-third- s of each branch of the legislature: Last year when the boasted tidal wave came on and the democrats carried Indiana by a plurality of 20.000 from a vote of 477,000, and received less than 49 per cent of the popular vote, they elected eleven of the thirteen members of con-- , gress, and secured the legislature in both branches by a majority of nearly three fourths. Some months ago the columns of the Chicago Iribune contained maps of Ohio and Indiana showing up well the shameful gerrymander perpetrated by the democracy in the arrangement of congressional districts in those states. There was no pretense at compactness in them they exist today in all forms conceivable, from straightness to shapes of the ram's horn and the ox-bo- Equality in population cut a small fig-ure too, as shown by figures on the maps, the republican districts being made almost invariably so as to contain more people than those fixed up for democratic majorities. These instances are of not at all an-cient date, as will be seen, and we have more of them to give when our demo-cratic friends shall indicate that they would be pleased to perusfttieni, mu we are inclined to belieVJ it enough has here been exhibited fc Jeir delec-tation to satisfy them thaJyi; is not in good policy for the pot t o call the kettle black. ANENT GERRYMANDERING. It is refreshing to pick up a demo-- j cratic paper nowadays and read in its columns whining articles anent gerry-mandering. The term had its origin ,, from the name of a local politician in Massachusetts.one Gekri", long years ago.who it seems was the first scientist in America that developed the magnifi-cent proportions to which the practice of thwarting the will of the people might be carried. The practice never became notorious in this country, how-- , ever, until after the had secured control of the state govern-ment of Mississippi, which they did in 1875, by means not now necessary to rehearse. Their first act was to fix Mississippi so as to offset as far as pos-sible the republican representation from that slate in congress, which in 1872, was overwhelmingly republican, as shown by the majority Grant obtained there in that year. Mississippi was one of the two or three southern states that contained a majority of ' nigger" vo-ters, who almost unansmously votedre-publica-hence the redistricting of tho state followed that massed the "nig-gers" of the state as far as possible in one of her seven congressional districts. Then it was that the term "shoe string district" came in vogue. A district was formed taking in a tier of negro c unties, more or less zigzag in propor-- i gALT JAKET rpHEATEfi. Chas. S.

Senator John Sherman of; Qli'iQ, Jrt spite of his intimate knowledge of the politics of that state, lias littered as silly a comment iifiou the recent election, if lie is correctly reported, as could he imagined. He says: "(irecnluu'ks ami free silver mean the same and for the second time in our political history the. state of Ohio lias spoken and decided that question so far ns it can. I do not say, however, that the tariif lias not played aii important part in the game. Free silver will be a feature ot' the next presidential tight. In fact, it will be a lead-ing issue upon which then are vast differ-ences of opinion in both parties." Everybody but Sherman saw that the silver question dissappcred from sight very early in tiie Ohio campaign, for the reason that, as Sherman says, there were "vast differences of opinion in both parties," and the same difference of opinion exist in both parties all over the United States. How, then, can a question be a feature in a presidential campaign upon which neither party is agreed? Shcunan might as well talk about a great battle in which the two armies wire divided as to the propriety of fighting at all. Such political bosh is unworthy a man of John Sherman's ability and ex-perience. It is probable that he will want to be heard next year, as he has been for many years, in framing the issue for the con-test. "Will , he, insist upon making free silver one of those issues in the face of his own assertion that vast differences of opinion exist as to free coinage among both parties? "Will he break down the distinctions which naturally separate re-publican from democrats, mid insist that the people of the United States divide ou new lines, with free silver as the only de-batable ground? The republican party will certainly ac-cept no dictation of this kind from John Sherman. The doctrine of protection of home interests and industries is the corner- -stone of tbat party, and it certainly will not reject it because Sherman has de-clared that the coinage question should be the feature of the campaign. By a recent order doing nway with the counting of mail matter by letter carriers, Postmaster-Genera- l Wana-make- r has effected no small saving in time Avhich may be otherwise employed for the benefit of the service. This saving is estimated at about $300,000 a year. It had been the custom, since the free delivery service was instituted twenty-eigh- t years ago, to require letter carriers to count and keep an account of all letters, postal cards, and second, third and fourth class matter collected, the total number of pieces handled, and the total postage on all local matter collected. About the smallest piece of business we have come across is the determina-tion of Governor-Senato- r Hill of New York to hold on to the oflice of governor of the Empire state until his term ex-pires. This action of his is nothing but a piece of personal spite. He does not intend to allow Lieutenant Governor Jones to step into the highest place of power at Albany, even for a brief per-iod, and rather than do that he will permit New York to have but one rep-resentative in the upper house of con-gress when it meets the first Monday of next month. Hill is governor and has it all his own way. It is quite certain that h will appoint no one to fill the place to which he was elected.

With paper and pencil Senator Hansbrough shows that this year's grain crop of that state is equiv-alent to $214 in cash for each man, woman and child of that state. In all of the wonderful crop figuring there is nothing which strikes one quite so forc-ibly as that. The money which North Dakota will receive for this year's grain will he about $40,000,000. It will be remarkably well distributed. Nearty everybody in North Dakota has some wheat. The people who live in the cities and towns own stretches of black prairie which they seed and harvest by contract. Every farmer is a wheat raiser. And so it may be said that nearly all of the 185,000 population will share directly in this grand distribution. 3 Lost.

It is the last gift of the year and the best. Its cheering presence makes glad the gray month of November. These snow masses of white bloom have rare charm, or perhaps some other hue is preferred, for it runs through the richest gamut of color. No fragrance is exhaled, but the great drifts of color breathe joy and hope. And how gorgeous are its colors! What is purer than its white; what more golden than its yellows; what more rich that its maroons? Again, each petal floret for the divisions of the bloom are not real petals, but separate flowers will show one hue above and another on its under side and so, brushed by the winds, there is almost a kaleido-scopic change of color seen in no other bloom. The rose is tame as to form and hue besides the queen of the bare trees, this concrete expression of aut-umn sunsets and sunrises. All hail the chrysanthemum, whose vagaries are but new types of beauty and whose cult is worthy a temple and a festival. w Conrsln Match.

M. V. No. 221. The Herald in advocating the amend-ing of the city charter, urges the con-ferring of a limited veto power upon the mayor. This position of our morn-ing cotemporary is rather surprising in view of its former utterances upon this same subject. The last legislature passed a bill for the amending of the city's charter, which was. however, so involved that even its framers did not know exactly how to interpret it. The bill was vetoed by Governor Thomas, but with his veto ho returned a substitute, a clear, concise measure, one of the fea-tures of which conferred upon the mayor this limited veto power that the Herald now advocates. This, however, did not then meet the approval of the Herald. On the contrary, it was made the occasion of a bitter attack upon the governor. . . Metropolitan Stone Company.

In preparation for the opening of congress 2000 yards of new carpet haye been put down iu the senate wiug of the capitol. It has long been the cus-tom to have carpets for the house and senate made to order of unique designs, which the contractors arc not permit-ted to duplicate. The new carpet se-lected for the senate chamber this time is a jumble of small figures, with pre-vailing colors of old gold and crushed strawberries. There are nine hundred yards of it for the chamber and lobby, and it cost $2.15 a yard. Six of the senate committee rooms have received new carpets. To prove that the western farmers are not forgotten, a tine new carpet which cost tl.tiO a yard, has been put on the floor of Mr. Plumb's committee on public lands, where he can sit with his feet on the table and receive delegations from Kansas. If they have no socks on, this carpet will keep their feet from getting cold on the marble lloors. Mr. James Doxald Cameron, while walking the floor of his committee room, will tramp upon about 100 yards of beautiful blue rug. General Hawley may tread upon as many yards of terra cotta rug in the room of the committee on military. |
