REPRESENTATION OF M1NORI7XEs.

REPRESENTATION OF FMINORITTES.
EX-SENATOR BUcKALEw is untiring in his
efforts to bring about reform in our present
political system. While a member of the
National Senate he advocated the cause of
minority representation whenever there was
a shadow of an excuse for him to do so; but,
in the whirl of party strife upon the great
question of reconstruction but little atten-
tion was accorded him, save by few think
ing people here and there in the country,
none of the measures which he introduced
into the Senate, as was to have been ex-
pected, came to anything, and his six years
term expired without his being able to secure
from the Senate, much less from the country,
a patient hearing upon his peculiar hobby.
But at the expiration of his national career as
a legislator he entered upon more con-
tracted arena, where he at once began to de-
vote his time and attention to his favorite
project. The State Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania, of the upper house of which he is now
a member, proved willing to permit him to
try an experiment, especially as it was upon
a small scale and in no way interfered with
the all-engrossing division of the spoils of
legislative corruption.
Mr.. Buckalew resides in the town of
Bloomsbury, Montour couAty, and it was this
town, where everybody knew him and by
force of daily contact all were fully convinced
of his sincerity in the advocacy of reform,
that was turned over by the Legislature for
the experiment An act defining the boun-
daries and organizing the town of Blooms
burg was passed, in which it was provided
that in the selection of the six members of
the town council, each voter might cast one
vote for each of six persons, one vote and q
half for each of four, three votes for each Of
two, or six votes for one, at his option. This
system is the one known in theory as the
cumulative vote, and for the first time it hai
had a trial in the United States. 1t is to be
regretted that the politics of BlOomsburg

experience of army officers who have
been compelled to deal, practically, with simi-
lar bands of savages, that an overwhelming
defeat is absolutely necessary to establish
harmonious understanding. Trained to rob
and murder from their infancy, this training
can only be counteracted by the severe pun
ishment of their offenses Taught to cherish
a belief in the invincibility of their tribal
organization, this belief can only be de-
troyed by an absolute demonstration of its
fallacy. General Sheridan has undertaken to
accomplish this essential task with the hostile
Brules, and we hope he will succeed, despite
all efforts that may be made to frustrate his
plans, or to identify the cause of humanity
with the merciless murderers whom he is
about to prepare for a course of civilization

SPAIN AS A RBPUBLTC

SPAIN, according to the latest intelligence,
appears to be gravitating towards a republic,
although the rumors on this point are appa-
rently entitled to as little credit as some
others that have emanated from the same
source. Procrastination has been the marked
feature of the Spanish policy since the ex-
pulsion of the Queen; and even if republic
should be determined on, it would probably
take year or two to arrange a constitution
and to put the new machinery into operation,
thus affording France and other powers that
might be opposed to such an arrangement an
opportunity to put in their veto. 1t appears,
however, that the people are beginning to be
heartily sick of the Provisional Government,
and to desire that their affairs shall
be definitely settled in some way. One of the
latest candidates for the vacant throne was
Prince Frederick of Prussia, but the French
Emperor, already jealous of the growing
power and influence of Prussia, has entered
such decided protest that there is scarcely
probability that the Spaniards will risk ex-
citing a conflict by choosing king who will
have the double disqualification of being a
Protestant and inimical to France. The Re-
gent Serrano who is probably heartily sick of
his job by this time, is reported to have de-
clared himself in favor of republic, pro-
vided General Prim will consent, and if these
two leaders will unite upon such a solution
of the Spanish problem, it is not improbable
that they may succeed in carrying majority
of the nation with them. Whether Spain
will be able to succeed under republican
form of government better than she has
under the Bourbon monarchy and the re-
gency of Serrano is one of the things that the
future only can determine. A republic de-
mands an intelligent and educated people,
who know what their rights are, and how to
maintain them, and few friends of republi-
canism will care to see it brought into dis
credit by failure in Spain. From the way
things have gone, however, during the last
two years, the probabilities are that the Span
iards will be able to get along as we'll under a
republican as under any other form of gov
ernment, and it would be at all events graft
flying if they could try the experiment, if
only for the sake of putting an end to the
present uncertain and unsatisfactory state of
affairs.

were very much mixed up at the time of the
election which was held there few days ago,
when the provisions of the new charter were
put in force If party lines had been strictly
drawn, the operation of the system would
have been much more definite and satisfac-
tory; but, even as il was, the result of this
first experiment at cumulative voting should
command the attention of all good men who
are anxious to see decided reform in our
present political system brought about.
Under the old system, as the voting popula-
ton of Bloomsbury is usually Democratic
by fair majority, the Democracy would
have carried their whole ticket, and the Re-
publican voters of the town, although COM
prising nearly one-half of the whole number,
would not have secured a single repre-
sentative in the Council. But under
the cumulative system, it was in
their power to concentrate their force
upon less than the full number of
persons to be elected, and, if they chose to do
SO to any considerable extent, it became an
absolute impossibility for the Democracy to
keep them entirely unrepresented. SO the
Democrats placed but three candidatesfor the
Council in nomination, thinking it better to
be sure of one-half of that body than to risk
the election of two alone by attempting to
secure the triumph of four. The opposition
ticket contained four names, however, two of
them being Republicans and two Democrats,
so that there we're, all told five Democrats
and two Republicans running for the six
seats in the town council, while both the can
didates for Presiaent--for which position the
voting was done in the ordinary way-were of
Democratic proclivities. AS the result of the
election for members of the Council, the
three regular Democratic candidates, the two
Republicans on the opposition ticket, and
one of the Democrats on the latter ticket,
were elected, and the Republican minority in
Bloomsbury is fairly represented, as it should
be. Although the names of the candidates
are of no interest to the great world outside
of Bloomsbury, we give them below, with the
number of votes received by each, in order
to illustrate the precise workings of the sys-
fam of o1,pou1otiva uotino.

GAN the Year Rouud,,,

The following statement as to the future manage
ment of AL the Year Round has been issued by Mr..
Charles Dickens, Jr. =
1t was my fathers wish, expressed In writing only
week before his death, that his eldest son, and
latterly his assistant editor should succeed him In
the management of the journal so long connected
with his name. In accordance with this clearly-eX-
pressed desire ana strong in the hope inspired by
encouraging mark of his confidence address my
self to the fulfllment OF the task which he ap-
pointed me to discharge.
It is intended that the management OF All the Year
Round in the future shall be based on precisely the
same principles those on which it has up to this
time been conducted The same authors who have
contributed to its columns in time past viii con-
tribute to them still. The same spirit which has in
the past pervaded its pages WILL so far as conscien-
tous endeavor may render it possible pervade them
still. The same earnest desire to advocate what
is right and true, and to oppose what is false
aud unworthy, which was the guiding principle OF
my fathers career, and which has always charac
terzed his management of AL the Year Round, will,
most earnestly hope, continue to be apparent in its
every word. So much the n, being the same, 1t may
not be presumptuous in me to hope that the same
readers with whom this journal, and that which pre-
ceded it, found favor for 80 many years, may
still care to see the familiar ttle-page on
their tables as of old. With this brief ex-
PLANTATION of the course / propose to adopt,
and omitting all reference whatever to
my own personal feelings in connection with the
great sorrow which has rendered this statement
necessary, leave the future journal to speak for
itself. at is better that every kind of work,
honestly undertaken and discharged, should speak
words with which my father inaugurated the New
Series of Al the Year Round i cannot surely do
better than repeat them in this place.

''SHOvING THE QUEER"
How n Detective was Overreached.

For some two weeks past, says the Newark
Advertiser of yesterday, a prominent detective
of this city has had under surveillance o young
man named Johnny Shook, whom he suspected
of being engaged In selling and passing coun-
terfeit money, and as Johnny" was believed to
be too shrewd to be caught at the nefarious busi-
ness by ordinary means, the officer employed a
certain ''wide-awake" saloon, keeper to IDEAL"
with Johnny win his confidence, purchase
quantity of counterfeit money from him, and
thus secure sufficient evidence to warrant his
arrest and ensure his conviction. The saloon
keeper, who had frequently performed
detective, proceeded very adroitly
with the case, and in few days reported to his
employer that he had succeeded in making
Johnny believe that he was sincere in his desire
to purchase a quantity of the "bogus" money,
and had arranged to purchase $3.50 worth In
ones and twos of a certain retired place on Sat-
urday last. Elated with the success of his assis-
tant, the detective at once supplied him with $75
in genuine funds, with which to pay for the
''queer," as it is called by the professional
dealers. In the meantime Johnny had in some
way learned that the detectives were putting
up joN" on him. and made up his mind to beat
them at their own game, and make a good
stake" for himself.
He arrived at the place of rendezvous, and soon
after met the saloon-keeper, and, after eKaeting
from that sagacious operator renewed assur-
ances that he would never, under any eircum-
stances, tell from whom he had purchased the
queer" placed the package ia his hands with
the request that he would put it in his pocket as
soon as possible. The expectant detective re-
ceiyed the package with ill-concealed exulta-
ton. but felt some hesitation about pocketing it
until he satisfied himself that 1t was all right.
He therefore made holes sufficiently large in
the envelope to see that % bill was on top and
a Sl bill on the bottom of the package, and
thereby assured that all was right placed it in
his pocket and paid over the promised $75 in
genuine greenbacks. The two then separated,
and the adroit saloon-keeper hastened to report
his success to his employer, whom he found
apxiously awaiting him at his office.
