Mr.. Edmunds then, with some excite
ment, charged that the Democrats and
their allies, Trumbull, Schurz. Sumner
and others were determined that no ousl-
ness should be done; that they were
bent on wasting as much time as possi-
BILE and wanted everything to give way
for politics. He wanted the country 10
know that the Republican party was
not responsible for this.
Mr.. Trumbull said he would be very
sorry to think that the Republican
party could be affected by an adjourn
ment over for q day. 1t was just such
particular appeals as were made by Mr.
Edmunds which did the party more
harm than anything else.
Mr.. Edmunds asked Mr.. Trumbull If
he assumed to speak for the Republican
party. =,
Mr.. Trumbull said yes, and with
more true regard for its true interests
than was shown by Mr.. Edmupds: ,
Mr.. Edmunds said Mr.. Trumbull had
not acted with the Republican party for
a long time, and consequently his action
could do it no harm. What he wanted
to call attention to was that the Demo
Gratis and their allies on this floor had
voted solidly against adjournment on
May 90, on the ground that there would
not be time enough to transact business,
and yet they were constantly voting
against sitting on Saturdays.
On motion OF Mr.. Cameron, the Sen.
ate then went into executive session and
soon after adjourned.

weddInR Tours,

The Washington Star has the follow
ing to say OF wedding tours "One Of
our exchanges, in an article on the
honeymoon, tries 70 persuade young
married people that it is better for them
to stay quietly at home at such an 10.
teresting period Of their existence, and
not 90 wandering of on exhibition.
Most people will agree with the writer /;
but ten 10 one il be is a single man and
ever gets married he will do just as the
others DO. Why wedding tour should
be considered the correct thipgis one Of
those conundrums which, as Dundreary
says, no fellow can find out. II our
brides could be persuaded TO forego the
blessed privilege OF leading their prizes
around with ribbon, we would recon-
mend, for change, the singular Gus,
tom which prevails at Nassau, New
Providence. Near that place there ls
solitary house, pleasantly situated,
where all the newly married couples go
to pass the honeymoon. They take a
servant or two and steal away from the
town to this place. from which, after a
becoming period is passed. they come
forth again.

property is sufficient, why the family
should not be kept up BY the wife after
the husbands death just as it was be-
fore and the husband should leave her.
if he can, the same means to keep house
and be hospitable and charitable that
he enjoyed and that she was accus-
toned to share. If you give your
property. and the whole OF it, absolutely
to your wife, it will in many cases be
the best thing you can do. Your
children are hers, and she will be just
as much interested in providing for
them as you can be, and if she should
survive YOU for ten or twenty
wears, she will be far better
able to Judge what is then best
than you can be now. Circum.
stances may have greatly changed, and
il you have found her wise aud trust
worthy through all your married life,
you may trust her to act wisely with
reference to such cases. There may be
peculiar and exceptional cases. Your
wife may be q second wife, and not the
mother OF your children, or you may
have good reasons for not trusting her
Judgment. You must decide upon such
cases for yourself; only remember that
such cases make it the more important
that YOU do not die without a will.
And while am talking about wives,
/ wish to remind them that If they
have property OF their own IT is as i'm
portant that they make Wills as that
their husbands do so. Where q wife
has property it generally comes to her
by inheritance, and it may be presumed
that her brothers and sisters have
property also. II she has no children,
she would naturally prefer that 1t
should 90 to her husband. To accom-
plish this che must make will.
And let me say that4or either TO make
it condition OF bequest that the other
shall forever remain a widow or Will
over, seems to me selfish and harsh. 1t
may be for the best happiness Of either
survivor, in later years, to marry again,
and it ought to be left to the free exercise
OF the judgment o. such survivor in view
OF the facts as they may arise.
And now let me say TO you lastly,
though the matter is not last in i'm
portance, do not attempt to make or
revise your own will, bat 60 to a good
lawyer. The writer gives this advice
against the interest of his profession.
Nothing is more fruitful OF litigation
and lawyers fees than badly drawn
wills. The learning pertaining to wills
is recondite and complicated, and no
man who is not a lawyer can hope 10
understand it. A good fee paid for a
well drawn will is the best OF economy.
Let me sum up the whole matter in
a few words:
|. Consider well whether you will
make will or die without one.
2. If you think it best to make one,
attend to the matter at once.
3. If you have already made will,
see that it is kept in repair.
4. See that your wife is made sure
OF all she needs, if there is property
enough
5. And 60 to good lawyer TO have
YOUR will drawn.-ChriStidn Union.

A WHISKY house in Louisville, aided
BY an unusually accommodating press
agent at that point and very stupid
telegraph editors at others, has secured
extensive and valuable advertising. in
the reading columns OF many papers.
Even the Cincinnati Commerciak-whose
chronic boast it is that money will not
buy the insertion Of an advertisement
in its reading matter-was taken in by
the transparent dodge, and gave loaded
prominence TO an advertisement a.
bold as it was ridiculous. The house
in question claims TO have secured q
complete "corner" in old whisky, by the
expenditure OF three million dollars,
and announce with a flourish that
they expect to control the market.
The hard facts will scarcely sustain
these sanguine gentlemen. We have it
on good authority that not less than
thirty thousand barrels of the particular
kind OF whisky specified are now 10
store in this city. And when it is
considered that the stock OF whisky
usually carried in Cincinnati will
average about ten million dollars in
value, the absurdity Of the proposition
that q small house 10 an obscure village
can bull and control the market at it's
own sweet will, will be observable at a
glance.
We have already alluded to this thing
OF news agents sending advertisements
by telegraph. 1t has grown to be a
crying evil, and one demanding speedy
abatement The agent at Louisville 10

MinorltY Renreaentation.

10 view OF the anticipated Convention for the
purpose OF revising the State Constitution, il
may be we'll for the citizens generally to consider
the propriety Of adopting a clause in it a init
ting of minority representation. In relation to
that principle the following timely ane peril
uent article from the Chrisfion Weekly Of New
York, will be of interest to our readers. 1t will
be found the arguments and illustrations given
concerning New York are equally applcabls to
Wood county and all other parts of this nation /:
The present discussion IN New York. respect
ing new charter for the city, has more than
,cal interest. 1t embraces the consideration Of
some subjects Of national Importance. Among
these is " Minority Representation"
Our present system is termed a representative
government. But under it nearly half Of any
CO immunity may BE- without representation.
simple hypothetical case will serve to illustrate
tue evil. New York city has twenty two wards
Her voting population may be estimated in round
numbers at about $50 900. Suppose each nno
of the political parties has a majority Of 100.
The entire majority in the city will then be D.
200. But in tie Board Of Courcilmen there will
not be single representative Of the opposite
party Tor each ward will elect a single repre-
sentative, who, however, will represent only one
party In other words, over 20 900 voters that is.
over 400 0U0 people, including women and chill
den, will be without a voice in the government.
Theywill be practically disfranchised. THIS is
not republicanism. 1t is despolism = the de,pot
ism Oi :he majority.
This is not in imaginary evil. In New York
CITY respectable men = both parties have habit
uai ly stayed away from the .oolIs-their Suffrage
was useless. Voting was SIMPLY waste OF
time. And they Lad no time TO McSte.
How to correct this evil is a problem. ~ yet
not fully solved. The ahlest political thinkers
have been studying it. Various plans are pro-
posed. None of them haYe had the benefit Of a
full AMI fair trial IN an extended scale. New
York city is an admirable field for the expert
nent. The whole country will be indebted to
the Legislature il it gives the metropolis an OPP
porunity to secure in some form Minority
r. presentation"
As to the suggestion that the majority should
govern, no "ne doubts that. But it does not
follow that the minority should not be heard,
that free trader should not be allowed his
proportion Of weight in the counsels Of MsssA-
chusetts and prntectionist his in south Caro-
lima. True Repubicansm aims to secure in the
halls of legislation as exact a reflection Of the
views and principles Of all the people, as is
possible. And this is what Minority Repre-
ssntatiou" aims to secure.
