A change in the basis will again become
necessary, for it is estimated that, if the
Congressional apportionment is not en-
larged, the number of members to be
elected In 1883 will be nearly 400, which
would make an unwieldy body, and one
which could not find accommodation in
the present Chamber. The number Of
members is now 293, which makes q.
large assembly, 1T is estimated that il
the basis were enlarged to atsent ITO, COO
the number of Representatives would be
nearly the same. Continuing the pres
ent basis there would be about $50 mem,

New York City Politics.

1t is not likely, now that third candidate
for mayor Of New York city will be brought out.
Only one week remains and the time Is almost
too short for an Independent movement 10 be
so organized as TO give 1t any force In the con-
test. That there were democrats dissatisfied
with the nomination of Mr.. Grace was made
apparent, and that many OF them would have
supported an acceptable candidate upon an
independent platform was generally believed.
Some prominent republicans wanted 10 take
advantage Of this democratic disafTect1on to
run an Independent ticket. but the managers Of
the party felt that It would be unwise
policy at this time TO risk any movement calcu-
lated TO impair strict party organization and
discipline. consequently a straight republican
ticket has been put I'm the field, and the fight Is
between Grace (dem-) and Dowd (rep.) with all
the chances In favor OF the former. IL Is
scarcely to he supposed that the democrats who
are ayerse 10 voting for Grace will carry that
aversion TO the extent Of supporting Dowd.
Most or them probably, under the pressure Of
party influence viii vote the entire democratic
ticket but not few Will, no doubt. scratch
Grace. stu the democratic majority In the
city is so large that the scratchers Will
not be numerous enough to defeat
the regular Tammany candidate. An indepen-
dent candidate OF good character In the field
cans, and because OF this all the power and in
fluence CT the democrats nationally aud locally,
have been employed to prevent the nomination
of a third candidate. In the state election last
year the combined vote Of Robinson and Kelly
(democrars) in New York city was 103, 6O3 to
46 800 for Cornell (rep), a democratic majority
OF 5I,2S1. Potter DENY. for lieutenant COVER
nor received 80 81, to 5O,O16 for H0skins (res3,
a democratic majority In the city OF 49. 2a5 The
vote this year will be larger than ever before as
the registration is about 300O0 In excess of for
mer years A total vote In the city OF at least
100000 Is counted upon. but as to which party
will get the greater benefit from the increased
registration. as matter OF course, there is no
means OF telling. However, the democrats will
no doubt be able to keep their majority up in
the high fgures-tens OF thou5andS-and With
such N argin will, probably, carry Mr.. Grace
through TO the mayoralty despite the opposl-
ton to BIN in his own party.

Hest, perhaps, those people have ever been en-

ability and energy to carrying the legislature In

States senate, openly charges that his demo-
cratic competitor. Mr.. Fair, Is seeking 10 buy
success, and the latter retorts that Mr.. Sharon
relies solely upon hts purchases to win The
contest IS chiefly IN Storey county, which elects
sixteen members OF the legt5lature-t so sena-
tors and fourteen assembly men. The party
which can capture this county Is pretty sure to
have majority il the legislature. The other
counties, however, are not neglected, speakers
and workers are scattered all over the state IL
the interest OF both parties. Mr.. Wren,
formerly republican member OF Congress. has
announced himself as a candidate for the L. s.
Senate, but the opponents of Sharon allege
that this Is simply a dodge Of the latter; that
wren Is In fact working for Sharon. Ia the
e.ection ior governor in ISIS the total vote OF
the state was Is SO, of which the republicans

A Decisive Settlement Needed.

II the result of the presidential election shall
ne so close as 10 depend upon the vote of
single state the proceedings OF Congress In pre-.
pairing to count the electoral vote will be
watched with intense interest. There Is moth
Ing In existence to govern the count except the
provision Of the constitution relating thereto.
and, as has been shown IN the past it Is capable
OF being construed 70 suit the views Of either or
both parties. The joint rules have been abro-
gated. or permitted to become void Several
attempts have been made since the Inaugural
ton OF Mr.. Hayes to enact legislation for the
regulation or the electoral count, but partisan
spirit ard tactics defeated them. When the
Senate was republican and the House dem
ocratc- tie former passed q bill defining
how contests over the election of electors should
be determined. and how the count should be
made Ia Congress but the House refused to con-
cur, on the alleged ground that the measure
was framed in the interest OF the republican
party. The majority OF the Senate suspected
every measure that originated in the House for
the same purpose. ana the session came to an
end without anything being accompn shed. AT
the last session OF the present Congress the
democrats undertook to pass bill regulating
the count, and it did go through the Senate, but
the republican minority OF the House prevented
Its passage there by re5Orting to parliamentary
tactics. 1t was regarded by the republicans
as a measure intended for democratic
benefit. This bill required the concurrence
OF both houses In order to accept and count a
return to which objection had been made. 1t is
quite probable that the House Will take up this
measure and endeavor to pass 1t, but unless the
electoral majority for the winning candidate
shall be so decisive that no partisan scheming
or jugglery could overthrow or reverse It. a
determined fight may be counted upon between
the two parties on the floor. Ii such a contest
comes IL viii be not less determined nor less
bitter than that OF 1s1T and therefore 1t Is to be
sincerely hoped that the presidency VIII be
decided, beyond all room for question or cayil,
at the polls next Tuesday.

The Gheck.Rein.

When you compel horse TO contract the
muscles Just under the top OF the collar In order
10 sustain The head foot, more or less. above
It's natural place, and then hold them thus con-
tracted, the strain on these muscles soon pro-
d1ceS great harm. Ii you don't believe 1t,
watch The animal: look at his eyes aud ears!
am sure you can't misunderstood that face
See him Carry his head around On one side and
then away round On the other side. Now In a
moment you viii see him throw his nose up in
'front.' as high as he can, three or four times
That struggle Tor RELIEF he continues all the day
long When you take off the check, he Will
hang down his head low, and show In his face
sense OF relief which am sure you cannot mis-
understand. The long strain wastes the mus
cles ana produces that ugly hollow which Is
now so common Just under the collar.

HOW the King Travelled in the
Fourteenth Century.

The king and his mobiles generally made their
JOURNEYS on horseback, but they also possessed
carriages. Nothing gives better idea vi the
rude, cumbrous luxury which was at that time
the boast OF civil life than the structure of these
heavy machines The best OF them had four
wheels, and three or four horses, harnessed In
single file; one OF them was ridden by posttl-
lon armed with whip with a short han
die and several thongs Sold beams rested on
a tunnel was placed upon this frame;
the unsightly effect OF the whole can
be imagined, although there was ex-
1 WeT e eegnGe In details The wheels
spokes, as they approached the outer rim, took
the form or pointed arch; the wooden sides of
the carriage were painted and gilded, and the
inside was hung with the beautiful tapestry so
common In that age. The seats were covered
with embroidered cushions, on which It was
possible 10 take halr-reclining posture; there
we're Seae piii9ws In the angles, as1f to provoke

curtains, pierced the sides of the Carriages 1t
