Minority Representation on. Town
 Boards.

A carefully prepared bill for a publi
 act giving minorities representation ol
 town boards. passed the Senate, last year
 and had many votes in the House. U
 was finally postponed, however. to tn,
 present legislature, and printed with thu
 public acts of last year. It would be very
 unfortunate if in the very justifable ca
 gerness for an early adjournment this i'm
 portant bill should not meet the conside
 ration it certainly deserves. The princi. pie involved is one legislature should readily appreciate, for it is the very prln. ciple on which legislatures organize them. selves for business. Every bill of anv importance that comes before them is re. ferred to committee upon which botb political parties are represented. An ar. engagement of legislative committees that would allow place to the majority only would be considered an unheard of ont rage on the rights of the minority in any legislature in our Union. ~
 Yet the committees who manage the business of our towns are in nearlp every case composed of members of majorities only. Assessors, sSelectmen, Boards of Relief, Grand Jurors, Constables, Jus tices, all the large executive and judicial powers given the various boards of our New England towns, are given over to maJorlties. Partisan boards assess the taxes and administer the revenues of the town without the check of the presence of single member of the minority. Off, cials chosen only from the majority pros- ecute, arrest and try, such accusations as they please; dismiss such accusations as they please. We hear much talk of the rights of the minority to representation upon the bench of our Supreme Court. The danger of partisanship IS infinitely greater in the case of the justice than in that of the judge. ,-,.a
 The meanest system known to politics IS the system that divides up the town of ficers among the active partisans of the ruling party. If the legislature of 1878 is not itself made up of petty town politi- cians, it will, we think, remedy an evil that has so long cried for reform.
 The legislature, last week, refused to by weight. 0f course cit it wouldn't do for a legislature in which little and big towns have equal representation to sanction a different principle in regard to eggs. We must credit the State Prison committee, this year, with unusual firmness in rejec- tion of petitions for release. Their re- ports, too, have been invariably sustained by the legislature.

The Goodrich Murder.

After near four months search,
the murderess of Charles Good
rich, of New York, is at last
found in the person of a lady
lover who confesses that she
killed him because she loved
him. This appears wonderful
at first thought, but no more
wonderful than how it is posi-
BILE that goods can be bought at
such extremely low prices at the
green brick front; but such
ceases to be wonderful when ex-
planned. In the first place, by
buying for cash we buy cheap
er, our discounts amounting to
something handsome in the
course of a year; secondly, by
selling for cash we make no
bad debts and incur no loss;
thirdly, by selling the large a.
mounts each year that we do,
we can well afford to sell at a
small profit. Come and see us
as we are desperately in ear
nest and mean what we say.

EDideuuicS.

In all the epidemics which from
time TO time course the length and
breadth of our fair land, fear plays
a very disastrous part. 1t is not
enough, however necessary, that
every means be used to improve
the physical condition OF the peo-
pie and cleanse and purify our
cities, villages and towns; but the
mental condition should be cared
for. A contented mind in a sound
body constitutes an almost impreg-
nable fortress against the attacks
of disease. Therefore, although
the cholera and yellow fever are
knocking at our doors, let the peo-
pie be OF good heart, obey the ordi-
nary rules for good health, and
thereby escape premature death.

The New York Tribune thinks
the Western farmers are very
careless OF the feelings Of the
politicians. They persist in fol-
lowing out their own views, and
in disregarding the gentle and in.
sinuating advice Of the party or
gans. There was a convention
recently in Iowa. The local Ad-
ministration organ was exceeding.
ly sweet upon them before they
met, and gave them any amount
of the best kind of advice. In
return, the farmers unanimously
passed a resolution emphaticahy
denOuncing Congress and the
President for the salary grab
Whereupon the organ is very sad.
1t tears few Democratic politi-
ciars deceived the unsophisticated
farmers, and induced them to go
further than they meant to, they
might have intended to censure
Congress for the salary steal, but
they could not have intended to
be SO disrespecthl to the Presi.
dent. 1t is singular, but other
farmers conventions are doing the
same thing. Evidently they
think the Presidents signature
had something to do with making
the bill a law.

short time before the wife came to
him. 1t did not take her loug to
discover that he was playing pos.
