STUBBORN FACTS.

The editor Of tho Philadelphia Rec.
,fd coGdSiiscs Senator Wallace speech |
On the Blaine resolution in this way
Senator Wallace. in his speech in the
Senate on Tuesday, the 18th inst, on
the Blaine resolutions, very clcverly
the Maine Senator with
his own weapon, by continuing to other
States the system Of comparison which
Blaine instituted. Some OF tho figures
which Mr.. Wallace tabulated and com
pared are a rather startling commen-
tary upon our system of representa-
ton, but, as the SENATOR himself says !;
We must abide its inequalities and i'm.
perfections for the greater good It con-
tains.' Senator Wallace says truly
that the minority party is just as much
represented at the South as II is at the
North, and proves his statement by
figures. For instance, Iowa and Wis.
consin had in 1876 voting popula'
ton of $40, lOs. OF these, 200 ,595, rep
resenting about 100000 people, are
Republicans, and 2i3,503. representing
about 100000 people, are Democrats
and this million of Democrats were
Just as much disfranchised as Blaine's
Southern negroes. Coming TO his own
State, Mr.. Wallace made the good
point that, in every close contest in
Pennsylvania, since 1872, the negro
vote has given the State to the Repub
licans and, if the Maine Senator will
have that result in Pennsylvania, he
must have the other result in th,
South. As another illustration OF tn,
inequality Of representation, he citeC
Indiana, where, with Democrat,
plurality of over 5000 in 1876, th'
Democrats were only able to send foul
members to Congress, as against Mint
Republicans or, in other words, i
took 53,20l Democrats to send a mem
ber to Congress while it only took 23,
l20 Republicans to send Republican
member In New England the figure
show that 1851 votes can elect q Re
publican member of Congress while |
requires 1891 votes to elect a Demo
crat, In the Senate the inequality Q
New England representation is eve
worse, for, upon the basis Of the vot
of 1876, it only requires 36,72l vote
to elect Republican Senator, while
takes 1868 votes TO elect Demo
,rat. In the six great Middle State
+. New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, II
D diana, Illinois and lowa-thc Republ
a cans in 1876 cast a total vote of 1912
}, 2l2 and the Democrats q total ,
+ 1904, ,3Il, majority Of less that 40
900 for the Republicans, and yet
these States the Republicans haV
seized seventy-fve Congressional di
tricts and the Democracy hold b,
:, y forty'six To be more definite, Il
Republicans, with n voting majorit
of only 1871 in these six States, ha,
seized majority of twenty ninc Co
gressmen. Add to these States Ne
1t England, and it is found that 2,209, Al
1t Republican voters get ninety-sev,
h Congressman, and 2,100,26S Dem
o cratic voters get fiity-two, or an aggr
Of gate majority Of 100, 1853 gives the R
g publicans a majority Of forty-fve Co
II gressmen. Or, again, it will be foui
that in these twelve States 22,777 R
publicans can elect a Congressma

people have the right Of franchise, and
although they constitute q majority of

Ben. was in the habit OF dropping into

Morrissey was there, and many men about

about $4,000 IN his pocket, and as the bet
ting was heavy he managed to get to the
bottom in an hour. In fact, he was cleaned

and as his reputation for pluck was at stake
among The boys, he decided that once for

accepted, and the great fight began. 1t
lasted all night and up to nine O'Clock next
morning, and, when truce was finally

DestitutiOn IN Nctr York.

The New York World has an article
giving several instances Of extreme DIES.
tltution among people Of the city once
well off. We quote: On the bitterest of
the last days Of March mother and her
hopelcssly invalid daughter, ladies once
possessed of a country seat, and giving
weekly dinner parties as matter of
course, sat ali day in their house without
fire, because they could get not as;xpence
to buy coal. Their property lost through
no fault of theirs, sold lately under the
hammer for 100000, though, as it long
since passed out Of their hands, it DID
them no good. The brother, who. sup
ported the family by work as a taxider-
mist and his skill in arranging scientific
collections, lost all his winters work by
the failure of two trims within a few
weeks of each other, and, although man
well known i'll scientific circles through
the country, is obliged to refuse commits
sions and invitations from government
officials at Washington because he cannot
command means for the journey there, or
enough to make suitable appearance in
his position.
It is SOLDERING to think Of the dumb
suffering that goes on about US, that
brushes our sleeve, and walks abreast OF
us on TIE street. unable through
honest pride to make any appeal. But
when the insight into this kind of desti-
tuition is once gained its signs are toe
easily read. 1t hardly sits at street cor

ners with outstretched palm, hut comes
timidlY in decent garb asking for
work, as one applicant came to a high
city official not long since, asking for
position IN the city schools. She was
neatly dressed. refined in her air and
speech, but hearing that such places as
she wanted were not to be had for the
asking, her application changed into any
honest work that would give her father
and mother something to eat. The family
was respectable, but hard times had come
on them, and that evening had found
them without food, with just ten cents
lett IN the house. Long they debated
whether to spend that last ten cents for
something for breakfast or to use j, AZ
car fare TO the city hall, and send the
daughter there in search of EMPLOYMENT
They decided to forgo the breakfas. and
SEND the girl, and then the household
knelt down together and prayed for
heavens blessing on this venture of their
whole future. The girl did not 90 home
without work enough to bring them all
1000, but applications as urgent AMI
distressing are common to every man and
woman who has work to give. IF all
such men and women need
ing service Of any sort should send their
wants to be registered in central bureau,
IN this city, the matter of finding work
tor the thousands demanding and need
ing it would be slmplified. It is barely
possible there are places enough of some
sort TO 60 around, and that the world is
provided with holes for all the pegs,

she found her mistress in bed, complain
ing Of internal pains. The next morning
Madame was worse. The servant called
Chantrelle, who always occupied another
room, to which latte1ly he had removed
the children, who used to sleep with their
mother. Some delay, it was alleged,
took place ill his going for doctor.
The servant, on the pretext that saby
was crying, was sent out Of her mistress
room, on returning found strange smell
of gas. It was afterward discovered that
a gas-pipe had been broken at the back
of a window shutter, but of its existence
Chantrelle. denied all knowledge. The
servant alleges that no smell of gas was
felt before she left the room. Nine.
Chantrelle was taken to the infrmary, of
the city by order of the physician who
visited her. The medical men at first
believed Chantrelle's story that she was
suffering from coal-gas poisoning, to
which she had accidently been subjected
by the leaking Of the gas-pipe, but this
suggested theory was soon dissipated.
Nine. Chantrelle died in the intirmary a
few hours after her admission. A medi-
cal analysis of the contents of the stom-
ach was made and the evidence is being
looked for with great interest by the fac
ulty of medicine. 1t was stated that
Chantrelle effected policy of insurance
on the life Of his wife for considerable
amout sometime prior to her death
The case is expected to last throughout
the week.
