REPRESENTATION.

The Joint Committee OF the Leglsla-
ture to whom the subject was referred,
have reported in favor Of Constitutional
Convention. This is what the JOURNAL
has advocated for some time, and its ne
cessity is becoming more apparent as the
present legislative session draws 20 a
close. One important subject, which
will be made a matter for action if con-
stitutional convention be called will be
that Of fixing basis Of representation.
Our present system is based wholly
upon population. This, in many cases,
works great injustice, as representation is
apportioned upon the returns of the Fed
eral census, which is taken only once in
ten years. BY the apportionment bill
under consideration, which it is probable
will become law, the counties of Modoc,
Shasta, Siskiyou and Trinity are joined
together for Senatorial District, while
Shasta and Trinity have one Assembly
man. While this is the case with these
four counties, San Francisco is allowed
IL Senators and q Representatives. The
power of such Eumber, (one-fourth of
each house,) if they act together, is suf-
ficent TO determine the character of any
legislation sought. Whatever works for
the interest of San Francisco is sure of
a passage. Whatever operates against
San Francisco and to the benefit of the
State at large is sure Of defeat. And
while knowing this fact, country mem
bers are compelled to heed the constitu-
tional requirement, and grant this i'm
mcnse representation to that city for the
next ten years.
Population changes, but interests re-
main the same. The interests of San
Francisco are, in the main, commercial.
Those Of the mountain counties are main
ly identified with mining. San Francis
co alone will have greater power in either
branch Of the Legislature than all the
mining counties united. Outside of that
city public feeling is strongly in favor of
ascertaning some means by which this
preponderance Of power can be neutral
lied.
The proposition which meets with most
favor is one which points to an increase
IN the number Of representatives gives
one to each county, and apportions the
remainder upon the basis of population.
Some such clause we think will be adopt
ed. In that event the local interest of
each county will be represented, which
cannot be the case under the present
method Of working.

KLoTz has taken another Aop. When
last heard from he was before the Senate
Committee on Corporations, asking them
in effect, TO undo the work which he and
his compeers Of the Assembly had done.
lie t,ls that committee that he is sorry
he voted for the Freeman Railroad bill.
Very good for Klotz. When man finds
himself in error, we arc glad to see him
acknowledge it as Klotz has done. Now
we would like to see the remainder of the
Assembly on oath, just to see how many
there are who, like Klotz, are sorry
they voted for it,"

The WAY TO WIN.-An hours quiet talk with
lukewarm neighbor will do more to arouse
him to an earnest support of the Republican
party than a dozen stump speeches. Mass.
meetings impart enthusiasm to organized boz
dies and keep them active in the good work
but personal canvass by the right kind Of
men makes converts and thus adds to the party
strength. Every town should have its Repub.
lican organization. Men of character, those
who possess the entire confidence of the COM
munity, should be the leaders and workers in
these organizations. Meetings should be held
from now until the election. A thorough can
vass should be had of the voters The politics
of every man should be known. This can be
done by subdivisions small enough to enable
those appointed to make complete personal
canvass. The strength of the party should be
known. Every vote should be brought out at
the polls Every Republican should work
from now until the close of the ballot-box as
if the success of the party depended on just
one vote. This is the way TO win great victo-
res. To remain inactive is to invite defeat
Organization, hard work, devotion to the good
cause for which we labor will crown our efforts
with success. The House of Representatives
must be kept in loyal hands. To lose control
Of it is to again expose the life of the nation tc
the deadly assaults of its enemies. 1t is the
key to the political position and must be hold
by the friends of freedom and humanity.
