The evil of deadheadism ON railroads has
been turned to personal profit by some of
the western conductors. The passes are
sometimes lent by the persons to whom
they are issued. The conductor may take
advantage of this in the manner described
by one Of them as follows; "a man banded

out from beneath his cheokered pants.

"Will she never come 2" he muttered, in
low, earnest tones "never come to hear

STRANGE whDDiSe-pRRs,

We knew clergyman who once received
from wealthy groomsman bright penny,
inclcsed in dozen wrappers. He always

to give him a twenty dollar gold piece. We
were not SO credulous.
clergyman who was formerly located In
Hartford, Conn, but now in New York,
married, not long ago, couple who at once
started for Europe. The bridegroom was a
man Of wealth, and before he presented
himself before the bridal altar he placed
one.hundred-dollar greenback in bis vest
pocket to give the parson for the marriage
fee, and did pay II to him as he supposed.

That was enough. The only thing re-

curious blunder, laugh heartily, and make
the one-hundred-dollar deposit good.
An old uncle once brought his niece to q
rectory, on cold, rainy day, to be married,
and then, after the ceremony was over,
fumbled about for two-dollar bill, and, not
being able TO find it, said, as he handed the

senatorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT.

ave inquire, therefore, why Is it
that twenty thousand only are re-
quired as basis for Senatorial repre-
sentation on the line of the B. & o.
X. R., while nearly thirty thousand
90, 1888 are required from this sec.
ton of the State?
"Why are only seventeen thousand
QT0l21) required in the Tenth dis
yiet, while thirty-three thousand
$3.50 are required in the Seventh
district
"Wesay to the representatives from
this section Of the State, that our
people are not ready to acknowledge
their interiority by appearing con-
tent with this sort of jerrymandering
and urge them to have this matter
attended to with a view Of giving US
our full power and influence in fu-
ture legislation. The apportionment
of this session must be endured for
ten years, and it is important that it
be made fair one"
We clip the above extract from the
Huntington AdveHiser, which last
week gave very able statement Of
our present senatorial representation.
If the figures used in the statement
are correct, and we have no reason to
doubt them, as Mr.. Bennett is well
posted, our senatorial apportionment
should be changed. We do not, how.
ever, think that it would be either
right or necessary to Yacate the seals
of the present Senators. The bill so
far as senatorial apportionment goes,
might be made to take effect, leaving
in Office all Senators whose term had
not expired at the next general cleo,
tion. AS is well said above, this APP
portionment must stand for the next
ten years, and it is a matter of i'm.
portance to have it fairly made
The counties of the Third District
are the ones that are now furnishing
the largest number of inhabitants
for the least number of Senators, and
this unequal proportion will continue
to increase rapidly during the next
ten years. In the proposed re,dis.
tricting of the State for congressional
purposes, it is, we understand, the
sense of the Legislature, that the
counties now composing the Third
Congressional District, should have
the lowest number, or least surplus
population, because they will out
grow the other counties any how
Now if this reasoning is good for
congressional re-apportionment, soft
should also be good for State senate.
nal re-apportionment. We think it
would be well for the members from
this end Of the State to examine into
the matter fully.
