From The N. Y. Times.

From thS n. Y. Times. mII
Minority representation gains ground,
theoretically, at least, It's introduction
In the Constitution Of illinois secures for
It the lairest trial 1t has yet obtained, and
the results ofits working there will be an
object orstudy to every thinking politician.
A movement Is on foot to elicit and edu'
cate public opinion on the subject in
Pennsylvania, and VIC anticipate similar
efforts in other States Any relief to
min0ttiics from this method Of reform will
be slow, especially while the reform itself
remains more or! less experimental.
What Is most needed in this country is
more generous recognition Of the
claims of minoFitics III legislative bodies.
One Of the worst evils with which We
have 10 contend arises from that desp0-
tism of the majority which Is shown in
the exercise Of power without reference
to the feelings or interests Of the minori-
". We too often carry out the idea that
the majority may tlo as they think proper,
regardless rthe effect Of their action upon
Others. The. cultivation Of u more en-
lightUued temper in Congress and in State
Legislatures would cleanse politics OF q
dcmoralizing influence, aud secure more
consistent respect for the principles which
underlie our constitutional system. .,,
