WESTWARD THE STAR OF EMPIRE,
ETC

Much is said in these days by poll
ticians about the geographical divisions
of the United States as political sections,
in their bearing upon party issues and
future success in National elections We
deem it unfortunate that there should be
any such thing as sectional politics. But
such a thing is, and we can't help it.
Nor do we know of anybody who can.
Inasmuch, therefore, as sectional politics
must needs be, it may be interesting to
consider as to what section of the coun-
try the preponderance of political power
is tending to.
1t is only twelve-month from this
time till the taking of the tenth census
of the United States will be in progress.
That the census of 1880 will show won
derful increase of the aggregate popula-
ton of the country is undoubted. But
the growth of political power relatively
as to the several sections of the country
must depend on the distribution of that
great increase of population.
The representation in Congress SO far
as the next Congress (the forty-seventh) }
is concerned, will probably remain as
now, predicated on the census of 1870;
unless indeed che census Of next year
should be completed in time to enable
the present Congress to fix the new ap-
porticnment hereunder, and there is
really no sufficient reason why this
should not be done. Yet cred tape" will
probably stand in the way, as usual.
But the succeeding Congress (the forty
eighth) will certainly be constituted on
the basis of the census of 1880. 7 a
change will come as consequence of
the distribution of the increase of popu-
lation to be shown by the next years
census.
Under the present order of representa-
tion in Congress, predicated on the cen.
sus of 1870, the West is not allowed a
fair chance. The sixteen States, which
we call the South" including what are
known as the Border States, have an ag-
gregate population of 1S,S72,615, accord
Ing to the census of 1870. This popula-

Because person has bad cough it should
not be inferred that consumption has set in,
although case of consumption is rarely
met with, unaccompanied by distressing
cough. Where however, disposition to
pulmonary disease exists a cough, if left to
itself, strains ard racks the lungs wastes
the general strength, and soon establishes
an incurable complaint In all cases then
it is the safer plan to get rid OF II cough,
cold, or hoarseness without delay, and for
this purpose no remedy acts more prompt
ly or surely, or with more benefit to the or
gans of the chest than DIR. D. Jayne's Expec-
torant, medicine scientifically compound
ed from carefully selected drugs, and which,
on trial will ALWAYS be found worthy of its

SPIRIT OF THE GERMAN PAPERS


The Legislature has given this county q
patent ballot box, which is to prevent
fraud. We fear that even the introduction
of patent election machine with election
officials with patent honesty could not
silence the cry of fraud. The defeated par.
ty would, as heretofore, complain that
they had been cheated out Of the fruits Of
their victory.
1.-THE Freie Pressel
Terrible, if true, is the report that Sena.
tor Wallace of Pennsylvania has expressed
his opinion that Congress will not adjourn
until the middle Of July. The universal
JOY that this happy moment would be at the
latest the middle of next month was an
ticipated too early.

Even the Cincinnati Enquirer, which

THE Hon. John H. Stsrin, of New

with steamboat enterprises, has on foot a
project for giving grand water excur-

city and the vicinity. He proposes, with
eommendable magnanimity, to provide
At his own expense all the necessary
grounds, steamers, barges and music re-
suired in the enterprise, and only asks
that the outside world furnish the old
soldiers The affair would undoubtedly
be pleasant one, but it would be robbed
Of half its interest and cheerful associa
lions if the orphans and widows who rep
resent the dead comrades of these soldier:

THE proposed canal across the 1sthmus
II Panama, which is now receiving the
sttention of the Congress assembled in
Paris, is of far greater Importance to the
commerce of the world than is generally
realized. 1t would reduce the distance
for vessels between New York and Cal
eutta 4,1OO miles, between New York
and Canton $500 miles, and between
New York and San Francisco l,4oO
miles. The distance from ocean to ocean
Is 1S1 miles, and the estimated cost Of
the canal is 10000 900.

pretty danseuse down she knows pre-,
