UnequaI Representation.

Mr.. EDITOR: 1t is high time to
change the unequal representation q
population in our city council. A
reference to the last election returns
will show that councilman Null repre-
sents so voters. Buckley i13, Bish-
op 1876, Rodman 50, Baker Ill and
Gordon IA. Four of them, Messrs.
Buckley, Bishop, Baker, and Gordon
represent 533 votes, and Messrs. Null
and Rodman only 145. The conse-
quence is the las: two WELD one-third
of the power of the city when they
are fairly entitled to control only q
one-fOurth of it. Whenever Messrs.
Null and Rodman unite with any 9th
er of the four they defeat legislation
and throw responsibility upon the
mayor. A union of Null, Rodman
and Baker representing 256 votes de-
feats measures advocated by Buckley,
Bishop and Gordon, who represent
APP voters. The boundaries of the
wards cannot be changed, but there
IS a provision in the charter, Sec. %,
Art. 6, for equalizing representation.
That section calls for the creation of
three additional %councilmen annually,
and it is high time to give the second,
third and sixth wards their proper
number of conncilmen by authorizing
them to elect each an additional men,
Der as soon as notice can be given.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC RAILROAD.

This huge phantom that has occu'
MED the dreams Of politicians and
formed itself into "A mirage for the
ediiicaton of emigrants during th'
past ten years seems about to b.
transformed into a reality at last
AT least, there is Il wild hope that
the transformation process may COM
MENcE pretty soon. This hope has
for foundation the fact that mate.
rial has been shipped for the con.
s,ruction of twenty-five miles o!
their road.
1t has been said that several rail
road companies, including the North
ern Pacific aud Texas Pacific, had
formed combination for the pur-
pose OF "log rolling" their measures
through Congress. But this is de-
MED on the grounds that their inter
ests are so dissimlar as to make ii
practically out of the question to
unite them in an effort for mutual
profit. Whether it be the fact or
not, certainly the outlook, as far as
the Northern Pacific is concerned, is
certainly far more favorable than 1t
has been for years.
The people of this Territory have
been badgered and disappointed by
this dilly-dallying concern long
enough. The are getting walked up
to the fact that the commercial ne.
cessities Of the times will FORCE a
road soon, whether it is built by
President Wright's corporation or a
rival one. We are pretty sure that
our citizens will not be compelled to
struggle with hope deferred much
longer.

GRANT is NEEDED.
W W. nion.

We do not believe there is anoth
er nan living, the mention of whose
name in the presence Of an English
speaking audience, will awaken the
same enthusiastic response as does
that of l.. 5. Grant. His successes
at the head of the American army
are in every land, and in nearly ev-
cry language. His modest demean.
or, his plain, straightforward ways,
the pith and aptness of his public
utterances, the hrmness with which
ne maintains opinions, onl y reached
.fter careful study, his tanacty of
purpose, his evident aim and desire
to upho Id the freedom of the Amer
jcan citizen wherrxrr located, have
made his name the synonym of peace
and strength. In troublesome times
all naturally look to the man of APP
proved strength, courage and knowl.
edge to lead the way to safety ard
quiet. Is there Republican in the
land who would doubt for one mo-
ment what would be Grants course
il he was President to day? Is
there Democrat il Congress that
would dare to dream OF coercing
Grant to sign bill he did not ap.
prove by threatening to stop the
government by failure to pass the
regular appropriation bills ? The
latest udvices from Washington are
to the effect that threats Of this char
acter and the utteranccs of Hayes
are making the Republicans in Con-
gress fearful that Hayes has not the
backbone to resist the attempt of the
Democrats to make fraudulent elec.
tions possible. The "sold South"
has the Northern Democracy by the
throat and is striving by a the wit
and strength it can master to get the
nation in is deadly embrace. 1t is
the "Solid South" the cringing,
fawning cringiug action OF the
Northern Democrats, the lack Of
backbone in Hayes that makes So
many Republicans wish, and SO many
Democrats fear the nomination Of
Grant in 1880. He is wanted.

we have bad that anything of the kind
would take place. Tell us who he

such statement, or was he merely
trying to lie out of his former asser-

Out with it, Transcript" or you
may be branded again. Before W.

meanness, the transcript" pro.
nounced the ARGUS "ths leading

to be no use whatever in trying tc
