PORTER JOHNSON.


WHIT ms DONE AND IS DOING.
liz has brought down the prices Of
Dry Goods aud I, -occrics in tho town
Of Weston Is per cent.
What Porter johnson is doing at thu
present time: lie is selling tho best
20 cent coffee at is cts per pound. He
is selling the very best coffee sugar for
Ii cts per pound; the same that you
pay lGA aud IS cts for at other placcs.
lie is selling calicOes from s to 10 cts,
aud the very best, 0 yards for 81, now
wOrtl, 10 cts in Baltimore. 3 bars De-
tersivc soap for % cts. Olive washing
soap, 3 bars for % cts. The best 200
yard spool cotton, q for rs cts. Boots
aud shoes at almost your own prices.
. bushcl sacks at ~ cts buslicl 45.
An extensive liuc of all kinds of Dry
Goods always on hand, and SO low that
those wishing to purchase cant help
but buy.
The question is frequently asked
How can Porter johnson sell his goods
so cheap and still make money on them!
Those who wish to see the Cheap
Store shut up, say he can't stand il
that he mus, break. Well, they don't
know. Some say the goods must be
stolen. Well, thew don't know
"nuther." Others tell you that there
is great difference in tue goods; that
his goods arc not as good as those sold
by others. Well, I'll be hanged il
they know, "nulhcr." The true an
swcr is: lie employs lire man to buy
bis goods. Ono who understands bis
business, and one who is constantly
watching for burgainS-taking advaG-
tige Of every decline in prices, and
looking ahead for an advance, and buy
iugssaccordingly. And last, but not
least, 10 pays the cash for all he buys.
thereby getting large deduction.
Porter johnson sells exclusively for
cash, therefore he san sell much lower
than those who have to wait o and ~

The inequality in regard to representa-
tives is not SO large as that upon senators.
1t will be seen that while in one county a
senator is given for 1887 inhabitants,
in another it takes 80, $50 to entitle to one.
While it is desirable in point of conven-
fence to adhere to county lines as closely
as may be, it is far more desirable that the
inhabitants be fairly and Justly represent
ed. In the struggle of each locality to
take care of its own interest, let it be re-
membered that it is better for all that
right should prevail. We have no doubt
that farther consideration of this question
will lead to some arrangement in relation
to the inequalities existing on both the
senatorial and representative plan as
adopted in committee, that will make the
apportionment more equitable and satisfac-
tory. The Importance of rendering it as
perfect as possible, is too evident we trust
to need urging. We republish our previ-
GUS article and table in full so that with
what follows any intelligent person can
obtain good understanding of the whole
subject.

The above table leaves 10 Senators and
Representatives to be distributed with
reference to fractions and relative increase
of population.
The Committee on Apportionment de-
cided to adhere to county lines in their APP
portionment. This was opposed by Mr..
johnson of Augusta, Mr.. Stickney of
Presque Isle, Mr.. Hagar. of Richmond, but
was finally adopted. In the matter of
apportioning representatives, Mr.. Pike of
Calais argued that the excess in the larger
cities and towns which were entitled to
two or more representatives must not
necessarily be confined to the counties in
which such cities or towns happen to be-
but might be spread out over the State if
thought best for the benefit of the smaller
towns This view was endorsed by Mr.
Wilson of Thomaston, and opposed by
Mr.. Robbie of Gorham. The action of the
Committee is seen in the following table,
which also shows the changes from the
apportionment of 1861

We have received communication from
the Military Asylum at Togus. complain
ing of the action of the Legislature upon
the petition of the inmates for the right to
vote. As the case of the Asylum at Day
ton, Ohio, is SO recent, and of similar
character, the Legislature was clearly in
structed by that in its recent course. The
State has no jurisdiction over the asylum.
and if the inmates desire to become citi-
zens of Maine they must first appeal to
Congress.

The Indiana Senate has outdone the di-
vorce laws of the State in the matter of
surprising legislation. 1t is said that un-
der the previous question. a few days ago,
it adopted a resolution to withdraw the
assent Of the State to the confirmation OF
the fifteenth amendment. AS the amend
ment was adopted and Incorporated as a
part of the constitution nearly year ago,
that act will strike the reader as very time
