MINORITY INSTRUMENTATION.

The State of Illinois has in her new
Constitution provided for trying the ex-
pertinent of giving the minority an equit-
able representation in the Legislature by
means of cumulative voting. It is an
effort to ameliorate the working Of cleo
tive government by which the minority
is excluded, and is hardly recognized as
having rights that the majority IS bound
to respect; a system which naturally
tends to make the minority disafected
toward the government. We suppose
there is a general desire on the part Of
Republicans that this plan shall work
well 1t is an experiment. and its good
working requires considerable intelli-
gence in the voter, or very strict manage
nlent on the part of the party leaders.
Since the experiment is to be tried un-
der such favorable circumstances in a
great State, we can afford to await the
trial Should it work well in Illinois it
will undoubtedly be adopted in Ohio
Cincinnati Gasekke.

And what she says is not true,
Beware, beware,
She's fOOliuU thee

Nilsson, with a look of excessive an
ger, struck the box edge with her fan SO
angrily as to break it. At this there
was great laugh and general clap
ping of hands, the majority Of the peo-
pie believing that she had done so in
the warmth of her admiration for her
sister artiste. But her angry look belied
this. The initiated who were posted
were highly amused, for it was evident
that Nilsson thought Kellogg s song was
a reflection on her heartless lifting Of
Gustave Dore. He brought her into
notice, made her public favorite and
the idol of Paris but when she had
reached the height she had sighed for,
she not only broke her marriage engage
ment with him, but even refused to ad-
NIT him to her drawing-room as an or
dinary visitor. He was in the completest
sense of the term forbidden the house.

THE NATHAN MURDER Count JodnncS's
Cj,orqes.-The New York Post of last even
ing says:
90 Jas. Hughes was rearraigncd on charge
Of grand larceny, and pleaded not guilty.
Hughes is the man charged by the Count
Joannes, whom he had formerly engaged rs
his counsel, with the Nathan murder.
Hughes requested the court to assign coun-
sci for his defence, and begged that the
81 Count" should have nothing further to
do with him.
Judge Bedford then assigned Mr.. McClel.
land and Mr.. Roche to defend Hughes, and
those gentlemen, alter a few moments con-
sultation, asked for days adjournment.
The court granted the adjournment, and
then said TO the Count:
con Tuesday last, upon the arrangement
of james Hughes for larceny, you, as his
counsel, pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Immediately afterwards YOU boldly asserted
that he was the murderer of Mr.. Nathan,
and pledged your word that if the larceny
case against Hughes was adjourned for one
week YOU would then be able to offer con-
vincing proof, and fully justify the unpre-
cedentcd position which you then assumed.
GAS am one Of those who believe that
the authorities should not leave stone un-
turned, and that every effort should be put
forth TO arrest and punish the murderer, L
granted your request. You now tell ,,, me
that you have the requisite proof. Inns
courtroom is not the proper place to hear
that proof: but, with the concurrence OF
the district attorney, will direct you to go
before the grand jury, now III session, ana
under oath offer proof. And then; after the
Grand Jury shall have taken official action
IN the matter, just and discriminating
public will unquestionably render the pro-
per and fitting verdict as regards your ac-
ton in this matter" .-. -

~ TRAGIC AFFAIR At ALTooNA-A Man
Outraqes HIS Neighbours Wife, and as
Shot 6v the Husband.-The details of an
outrage on married woman, which occ.
CURED at Altoona on Saturday last, fol-
lowed BY fearful retribution on the per-
petrator, have found their way to the pub
tic, and afforded food for the gossip OF that
place. Several reports have gained cur
rencv. the most reliable version OF which
seems to be the following:
1t appears that two married men, An
drew Fay and Hamilton Starr, employed
at the Pennsylvania railroad shops, were
on the most friendly and intimate terms.
They were neighbors, and their families
often exchanged visits and went to places OF
amusement together. The Altoona Opera
House was visited on Friday night by the
two men and their wives in company. A
proposition was made and accepted that the
quartette return to Fay's house, the men
expressing desire to return to the shops.
The women were left alone, indulging in
the usual female gossip. Before reaching
the shops Fay professed to have forgot
something, and excusing himself to his
companion for short time, retraced his
stems to the house. He then informed
Mrs. Starr that her husband would be de.
tanned at the shops longer than intended,
and volunteered to escort her nome. Inc
proposal was accepted, and they left to.
gether.
Meanwhile Starr, having no suspicion OF
his friends duplicity, returned to Fay's
house, and was rather surprised at the In
formation impaired, that his wife and her
escort had left. Still unsuspicious of wrong,
he then directed his footsteps to his own
home, where, appearing suddenly, -; ne ne
