IT is supreme folly for Democrats in
any State to expect of a Republican
Legislature that it will honestly. much
less with even an approach to justice
based on the relative strength of parties
pass a fair and equitable Congressional
appOrtiOnment bill. It is a game that
two can play at Just as party success in
State falls on the one side or the 9th
er, but we are convinced that before
many years both parties viii unite as a
matter Of seif-defence. in the fntroduc-
tion of some system in framing an ap-
pOrtionment bill by which the Legitimate
rights of political minorities will be Sc
cured, instead of heing sbamefully ta-
ken away and destroyed, The aportion-
men5 bills which have just passed the
Legislatures Of Iowa and Michigan are
monstrous instances of the Injustice to
which we refer. Each Of them is en-
titled to eleven members. but their
counties have been so displaced and so
wonderfully mixed up that there will
not be single Democratic district in
N'---NA ''ttetNs NtlLlltlu > vote III iowa
last fall a year was 181. 600. and Han
cock's and Weaver's l3S, 600 so that
every 5000 Republican voters will be
able to elect a Congressman, while 13O,-
600 Democratic and Greenback voters
cant elect even one. In the Michigan
gerIymander the same infamous result
is accomplished, 175,O0O opposition vo-
ters being absolutely disfranchised--left
without single district. The very
same thing is now in process OF. accom-
p]ishment by the Republican Legislature
of Massachusetts, the paradise of politi-
cal cant and charlatanism. And yet the
Republicans in all of these three States
are eterually crying out in favor of
full and free ballot and fair count.
Hypocrisy, thy name is Republicanism.

TIE PERUVIAN NAsTINEss.

There is an OdOT of whitewash at the
very threshold Of the investigation of
the Peruvian nasLineSs. The members
of the committee of Investigation were
thrown into a state of great trepiditiOn.
when Mr.. Shipherd indicated that he
was willing to tell the whole truth.
When the committeeman discovered
that Mr.. ShipheTd was going 10 tell all
he knew about the connection of the
Government officials with the Peruvian
villainy they quailed. The honest (?)
committeeman desired Mr. Shipherd to
tell only what they desired him to tell.
So the completely of the Government
officials with the speculative schemes of
the Peruvian Company are not to be Civ
Ell TO the public. Mr.. Shipherd seems
to have a desire not to conceal anything,
which is just what some of the Honor
able gentlemen on the Committee don't
want him to do. He knows some things
that they would rather he didn't know
Mr.. Shipherd knows too much about the
Peruvian nastiness, and Congressman
don't like to investigate themselves.

ONE OR THE OTHER.

Either the party in power is unfit to
govern the country, or our form of gov
erument is a failure. Republican states
menship finds no method of prevention
that does not not sweep away the most
valued muniments of free government.
Even in the suppression of such an adj
mitted evil Of pOlygamy the Republican
party cannot adjust itself to a salutary
restraint. 1t was the glory of the Dem
Ocratic party that for nearly three quar-
ters of a century it was enabled to gov
ern the country within the boundary of
the Constitution, but it seems impossi-
BILE for the Republican party to do so,

THE WHIsKEY LOBBY.
Hoard of Health-MOnthIy Meet
ing.

Hoard of Henlth-MOnthly Meet
ing.
The City Board of Health held
its regular monthly meeting last
Monday night at the Office of DR.. j.
Med. Massie. Doctors Herring
and Beaumont and Alderman
Campbell present-Mayor Howell
and DIR. Massie being unavOidably
absent, much routine business was
laid over.
1t was ordered that the Sanitary
Inspector be instructed to again in
spect all premises during the pres
ent month and report all nuisances.
DIR. Beaumont, Health Officer,
submitted the following monthly
report to the Board, which giving,
as it does, a report of the general
health of the city, and clear, de-
tailed account of the late smallpox
case, which came under his imme-
diate care and attention, we deem
of sufficient interest and importance
to the general public to give it "a
place in full in our columns:
TO the Board of Misunderstanding
the last month the general health
of the town has suffered only from
continuance of measles and
whoOping cough, both of which
seem to have eliminated and are
now subsiding. But for the pres
ence of these two diseases in cpl
demic form, the community might
be said to be in remarkably
healthful condition. Had we the
means for showing it, it is thought
the mortuary report for the months
past OF tins year would make very
favorable exhibit both of diseases
and their results. At our last meet
ing it WAS ordered that our alder
manic member propose to the mu-
nicipal Board to re-enact that part
of the health ordinance requiring
all undeItakerS TO obtain from this
officer burial permit before bury
ing corpse, and which particular
part of said ordinance had been re-
pealed about year ago. The
Health Officer was also directed at
the same time to confer with the
president of the board of directors
of Greenwood Cemetery, with the
purpose of obtaining their coOpera-
tiOn with this board in securing an
accurate record of the deaths occur
ring in our midst. This duty has
been performed by the Health Off
Ger proposing to undertake all the
clerical labor incident thereto il the
cemetery company would only re-
quire that no interment should take
place in their inclosure without a
permit from this officer. The presi-
dent of that board very readily
agreed on his part to the measure.
and promised to have his board act
upon it as soon as practicable.
Should they adopt the measure and
the board of aldermen do the same
in reference to the cemetery under
their control, We shall be able
again to make a reliable record of
our mortuary statistics.

Mrs. VIM. Hume, who has planned
the whole affair, has enlisted in the
