MINORITY REPREsENTATIoN.--W see by
late N. Y. World that the theory of giving
pro rata proportional representation to the
minority party has been reduced to practical
application in Bloomsbury, Pennsylvania, the
home of ex-senator Buckalew, and that he had
the honor of casting the first vote in America
at an election recently held in Bloomsbury,
based upon such representation. The system
adopted, as we understand it, gives upon the
same ticket proportion of names of candi-
dates selected by the minority party, and the
whole ticket is supported by both political par
ties. Not much room for opposition in any
such arrangement after q ticket is once made
up that we can see. The justice and fairness
Of thus securing full representation of the
majority and minority elements is obvious.
Whether it is practicable or not may be an
other question. aa %

THE SALMON TRADE.-All of our readers
are aware that the mackerel and cod fisheries
on the New England coast are worth millions
of dollars annually, and engage proitably the
labors of many thousands during the fishing
season The products of those fisheries are
shipped by rail to every part of the United
States having the advantage OF railroad
communication. They are priced everywhere
as delicacy and always find ready market
wherever sent. The same is true of the ex
tensive fisheries of the Great Inland Lakes,
and the white fish and trout of Lakes Huron,
Michigan, Superior and the Straits of Mack,
inaw, have for years been of national impor-
tance. While these Eastern fisheries furnish
products of such value and extent, nowhere
more highly priced than on the Pacific coast,
the salmon fisheries of this coast are equally
as extensive, and their products as highly
priced everywhere east of the Rocky Noun
tains. The Columbia river, the Father of
waters on the Pacific slope of the continent of
America, with its numerous and large tributa-
ries, furnishes salmon fisheries which, with a
paying market ard market facilities, would
supply very considerable part of the eastern
demand. The projected Great Salt Lake and
Columbia River Railroad is the only railroad
communication which would afford such direct
market facility eastward. The extent of this
business once fairly opened up, with ready
market facilities, would be surprising, and that
it would increase with the demand there is no
room to doubt. The salmon fisheries of the
mighty Columbia and its many branches, it
would be utterly impossible to estimate the ca
pacity of, for they are absolutely inexhaustible|
and unlimited. This one product alone would
suffice for all time to come to make very i'm
portant transportation item.

LABOR STRIKE IN PARIS.


Great cities are not without their obvious
disadvantages and serious drawbacks, more es
pecially to the poorer classes. Of all the mis-
cry and destitution existing in the world, tha
found in the great cities surpasses incompara
bly, that of less populous communities. Of al
laborers, artisans and mechanics in the world
those resident in the large cities are the most
dependent upon circumstances, and at times
suffer the most from want of employment. II
is only in comparatively modern times the la
boring classes have been compelled to organize
into selfprOtective associations, and to adopt
the system Iof Strikes" for wages sufficient
to maintain them. In Paris, recently, the
foundrymen and moulders, about fifteen thous.
and strong, have had to "strike;" also, the
tailors. The house painters, sugar refners
and hat makers are also in the selfprotective
combination. These strikes indicate that these
classes of laborers are overworked and under
paid and will not stand such q condition of
affairs any longer.
In San Francisco, on the contrary, we find
thousands of able-bodied laborers unable to OBJ.
tain employment at any price, owing, as they
claim, no doubt truly and justly, to the influx
and employment, at less than living rates to
white people, of Chinese.
In Massachusetts,, again. bill pending before
the Legislature of that State, providing that
ten hours labor shall constitute days work,
is resisted by the entire manufacturing interest
Of the State, and wealthy nabobs will undoubt-
edly win the contest for capital against labor,
and prevent the bill becoming law. Every
where we find this irrepressible conflict urged
md being urged between capital and labor.
France offers at least to the dissatisfied the
chance to emigrate. Germans, by thousands
more than ever before, are focking to the
shores of America. England is sending away
ens of thousands Of the very bone and sinew
If the land, because at home there is not steady
paying employment for many mechanics, and
employees of her manufacturing establishments.
In our own land the grinding of the faces OF
he poor by Shylock manufacturers and en-
,loyers is not felt to any appreciable extent
,eyond the limits of the manufacturing dis
riots OF New England and the corporation
boundaries of our larger cities. IF these op-
PRESSED people follow the course of empire
westward. and avoid settlement in the more
towns and cities there is room
nough, and to spare, for each to breathe free
nd pure air of heaven uuder his own vine and
g tree,-a free man, where industry will
peedily insure independence and competence,
With none to molest or make afraid, and be-
ond the reach of all the ingenious combina-
ions of all the capitalists in the world to make
f him newer of wood or drawer of water

SCHOOL "READERs."-A exchange wants
modern improvements worked into school
books, and offers the following as sample of
the sort that would be up to the spirit of the
age:
The horse is on his nest. He is fine bird.
Can make his mile in 2 minutes Some horses
have the scratches. So do some men.
The goose is on her roost. She is a fine
quadruped, and has fine tenor voice. Can
the goose fly far? No; neither the goose nor
the rhinoceros can fly far.
Here is man. He is fireman He be-
longs to No. 10. If you are a good boy you
will some day be an angel like that fireman.
1t is dangerous to be fireman. They some-
times get their heads broken.
Here is the gas works 1t is high build
ing. All Congressman are born here. Do
Congressman ever steal? You may be sure
they do.
Do you see that small boy? He is is a good
boy, and supports his mother by selling news
papers. His father dou't have to work. any
more nOw-because he is dead
Here is the seaside. Do you see that ssswell''
there drinking spring water? What is it.for?
For his health Will he get it? Yes, if his
fathers money holds out.
This is the printing Office. Do you see the
editor? He is at the table writing Do edi-
tors ever lie9 No; they sit up at nights Are
they honest Yes; they were never known to
take anything they couldn't carry. DO oil ed
itors wear such ragged clothes? No; some-
times their subscribers pay up, and they get
new suit, but not often.
