DELEGArEs TO rsE LecIsL xruRE.-
The fitness OF representative should
be two-fold. First. the man must be fit
in himself: second, he must be ct a. re-
CARDS the. interest Of the community he
is TO represent.
The qualities demanded Of the indi-
vidual are honesty and general capaci-
ty. 1t is not enough that delegate 70
the Legislature IS inco-ruptibie and
above suspicion himself; he should be
able to defend himself and the interests
he represents against the designs and
the compatibility Of others. Ii is near
ly as bad to have representatives. who
are imbeeiles and ignoramuses As it is
to have them thieves. A knave IS US
ually less expensive incumbrance than
a fool. You can lock and bar the treas
ury against the one. but no precaution
can possibly be taken against the etour-
deries and blunders Of the other
Hence. a mans general capacity must
be taken into the account before he is
chosen as representative, and he should
have at least education enough to be
able to turn his capacity to sccount.-
1t is not necessary for . represen-
tative to know Latin nor geometry;
he need not have studied esthetlcs
nor be an expert IN the drawing
Of bills. But be should be able to
read. write and speak English, and be
should understand the language, pro-
visions and bearings Of bill when it is
read in his hearing.-Erening BulLe-
