That is not, in our opinion, by many degrees,
as important point as the great feature of
single districts for the election of the repre-
sentatlves, to be extended to all the States
This great and truly republican principle
has now been for the first time adopted :;
and IT will render the House in the mode of
creating it,what the Constitution designed it
to be, more truly the representation of the
People,and more really the exponent ofpub
lie opinion, than it ever yet has been.
The Senate was designed by the Consti-
tuition to represent the States in their COL
lectlve capacity as States and the House
was designed to represent the people in their
numerical capacity. not collectively, but
individually as citizens. So far, however,
as the system of electing representatives by
general ticket has obtained in different
States, just so far the theory and design of
the constitution have been practically thwar.
ted; for the effect of the general ticket is
to render the representation of State in
the House virtually the same as the repre-.
sentation in the Senate-nameIy. a repre-
sentation of each constituency in its colec-
tue capacity; thus disturbing the proper
balance of the Constitution, by giving un
due weight to the corporate principle as
compared with the principle of numbers
Not only so. The general ticket system is
still further Objectionable in this. namely,
that it gives effect TO the corporate princi-
pie. in the form and by the agency of con
soIdated State mgjorities, thus overriding
both the numerical principle and the opin-
ions, interests, and rights of minorities

In short, we regard the single district sys.

practical Importance, the most Just and e.

pursue his remedy in the proper Courts, the
same as any other third person whose pro-

and before such decree, the course is the
same. The assignee, when one is appoin-

Court will not interfere with the operation

IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN
BANKRUPTCY.
PATERSON, Tuesday, June IA

The District Court of the United States
sits here to day. Judge Dickerson has just
announced one or two decisions, which are
of some importance in matters of bankrupt
cy. One was, that the day appointed to
show cause against the bankrupt's discharge
If any can be shown, is too late for an OPP
posing creditor to come in, file his reasons
against such discharge, and apply for an
order to take testimony. He must have
appeared earlier, and must have his testi-
mony ready, with the report of the commits
sioner thereon; so that the matter may be
heard and determined on the day appointed
for showing cause. Still, if the creditor
shew to the Court any good cause for his
delay, the Court will give him further time
to take or complete his proofs.
Another point decided was, that the
Court will not. except in extreme cases,ex-
ercise its extraordinary power of snsnen-

RHODE ISL

We gather the following from a slip OF
the Providence Journal, dated last evening.
The powder house of Dutee Greene. Prov
ldence was broken open some time between
Friday evening and Monday afternoon, and
forty-eight kegs of gunpowder, containing
twelve hundred pounds, were stolen there
from. The building is of stone, with an iron
door, and is of very great strength. The
door was fastened by strong locks and mas
slve bars and bolts. Four locks were bro
ken by the thieves.
arrest One of the men engaged in the
attempt to seize the Warren guns has been
arrested on a warrant issued by Justice
Magoun, of Warren. The Sheriff of Bris-
tol county came up with it yesterday, and
the man, whose name is Wetherby, was ar
rested and committed. He will be taken
to Warren for examination. The officers
are on the track Of others, and there is a
fair prospect that number of them NAV
be taken, although several are believed to
have fled. As near as can be ascertaIned,
the expedition consisted of forty or fifty
men they appeared to have come by diff
ferent routes.
WooNsoCKET, June 81, 1912 The in
tentions of the suffrage party can be easily
OWNED from the movements of the past
two or three weeks. Dorr intends to have
his legislature meet at Chepachet on the 4th
of July, the time to which they adjourned,
and hence the concentration of his efforts
in that quarter. Hence the reason of the
two cannon sent there from this village
To give you some idea of the preparations
making here-a team with three horses
was sent to Boston last Friday or Saturday
night, and returned Sunday night, loaded
with tents sufficient to accommodate 3 or
400 men. They were engaged yesterday
in making cartridges for their:cannon, in a
barn on the Globe side. All these indicate
an intention of concentrating their forces
somewhere, probably Chepachet; and, if
they can muster strong, of making des-
perate attempt on the government of the
State, and if they do not succeed, or if they
cannot raise sufficient force to make the at
tempt, Connecticut is very handy as ''city
of refuge" This village was probably first
selected, as they can muster the most ad-
herents here--hence the story of the en-
campment, which was undoubtedly con-
templa:ed,bu the unexpected opening made
in their favor by the Governor of Cohnec-
ticut, diverted their attention to some place
nearer the borders or the highly favored
land, and Chepachet was selected. as being
in a town where they could number more
adherntslthan in any othel of the towns in
the west part of the State. is, besides,
but two hours, ride from Woonsocket, and
our folks have travelled that way so often
lately, both by night and day, that they can
hardly miss the road, even in the darkest
night.

HENRY CLAY AND THE LOCOS

1t cannot be forgotten that when Gen.
Harrison received the nomination for the
'resldency,by the Harrisburgh Convention.
The whole tribe of Loco Focos from Dan to

rise at what they called the faulty if the
Wings, IN taking up such an individual, TO
he neglect of Henry Clay, whom they then
'ulogIsed as statesman of rare endow
nents, who had served the country for more
than third of century in the most i'm

contended was far greater than that of Har-
rison. "Harry of the West" might have
caused us some little trouble; at anv rate
We should have had to prepare our artillery
ior the contest, but with the imbecile and
obscure Clerk of Hamilton county Court.

Such was the language of Richie and
MS clan, when the nomination of Harrison
vas announced. "The veteran Editor"
gave out that he and his party had long
needed repose, and that they could sleep
half their time without endangering the
success of their cause.

ENCOURAGE CHEERFULNEss.-- the
warm season is at hand many of our citi-
zens are doubtless beginning to look about
for exPedents to preserve health. Quacks
will soon be found retailing their nostrums,
and the credulous like the sheep of the coun-
try will soon undergo periodical fleeing.
If we my be permitted to offer simple pre-
scriPtion we will not trespass on the incred-
ulty or tax the purses of readers, and vet
will recommend a method of preserving
health that is within the reach of every one.
and that will be more effectual than all the
nostrums that were ever compounded. 1t
is this; be temperate and cheerful. Few
are aware of the immense influence that
habItual cheerlulness has upon the human
system. Those persons that are most CAV
and cheerful are almost invariably healthy,
and even when attacked with the fevers of
he country, are seldom in danger, for these
yield readily to a judcious remedial course,
and they soon recover.
