The Recent Loss of Land League
Funds.
Providence Journal


The managers of the Land League funds
asserted that none of them were in the charge
of the Union Generate when that institution
was first threatened with danger, but while it
was thought it would be saved from collapse.
But its final failure has brought the confession
that there were some of the contributions from
Irish Americans for tho aid of the Irish ten
antry invested in an institution which had lit
tie but the odor of sanctity to its directors as
an evidence Of its stability, although to what
extentj no information is vouchsafed. This
discrepancy between the assertion and the fact
can hardly be taken as confirmation OF the
denial by the Land League officers OF the
charge of Mr.. Pigott, that they pay themselves
handsome salaries. In fact, unless there is an
itemized and audited account of the manner
in which the Land League funds are used,
whose results at least are given to the public
in an authentic way, the executive officers will
be liable to suspicion and charges which, If
false, will be none the less injurious TO the
cause, as creating dstrust and checking the
flow of contributions. There should be no
more difficulty about it than in the accounts
that were given of the distribution of the
famine funds. 1t is said that such ac-
counts are ready for those who are entitled to
have them, but it is poor policy to keep them
from the public, as their general publication
would encourage more generous and general
giving, if the effects of the contributions were
shown to be honestly aud economically admin
istered, and accomplishing something in re-
lieving distress or even in enabling the tenan-
try to fight the landlords. The secrecy and
obscurity in which the practical management
of the Land League is wrapped is blunder,
il il is not cover for something worse.

A Fair Question to the Burglar.
New Orleans Picayune.l

A certain well-known lady, living up on the
avenue, recently found herself and family of
little ones compelled to pass the night without
the protec ton of man in the house, her hus-
band being in the North. Being a good shot
she was not alarmed, however. but put her re-
volver handy when she retired at night.
About midnight she heard noise as if some
one was trying to get into the house She
went softly on to the gallery, revolver in hand,
and sure enough there was man down at the
window, prying open the shutter with long
knife After watching him for a moment un-
sdecided what to do, knowing that if she chose
he could kill him, she leaned over the railing
and called out, "Shall 1 shoot you, sir?" The
astounding question caused The man to stop
work. He turned and looked up at her, but
made no prctense to run. She then fred at
him and he retreated to the fence, where he
insolently regarded her in the moonlight. The
brave little woman, not whit discouraged,
then determined to show him that she could
scare him if she pleased, so, taking good aim,
she put tiny bullet through the rim Of his
hat. In less time than can be told the would
be burglar was over the fence and out of sight

New York SUM-
The Large States and the Small
States.

On opening the debate in the House on the
bill for apportioning representatives under the
last census, the usual conflict arose between
the small States and the largo States. The
former complained that the latter had COM
bined to deprive them of their due share Of
members.
There seems to be no way of relieving the
small States. Take New England, for exam
pie, which suffers decline in membership
under the pending bill Those six States do
not increase in population so rapidly as the
Middle and Western States; and of course
the membership of the former must be re-
duced.
1t is none the less irritating however, to the
shrewd, ambitious Yankees to see their power
in the House steadily waning. In Congress
with hardly half as many representatives as
the next will contain, Maine had eight men,
bers. It will now get but four For long
while New Hampshire had six members. 1t
now must teke up with two. Vermont, which
in days gone by had six, now drops to one.
Rhode Island has always had two members
The pending bill gives the State barely one.
The time was when Connecticut had seven 1t
will now stand at four. When Webster was
first chosen to Congress from Boston, MaSsa-
chusetts had fourteen Representatives. The
State has since grown in population, opulence,
and wealth, But in House twice as numeI-
Gus as that wherein Webster made his speech
on the Greek revolution it can scarcely obtain
twelve members. In short under the pending
bill, New England which formerly elected
one-eighth of the house, will be allowed to
elect only one-thirteenth of it during the next
ten years.
But New England finds compensation in the
Senate, as do all the small States which look
with envous eyes upon the increasing repres-
entation of the large States in the Honse New
England will have only twenty-four members
in the House, but she retains her twelve Sena-
tors. The six States which lie Immediately
west of her, reaching from New York to
Illinois, will have one hundred and twenty
five members under the new appointment, or
more than five times as many as the six New
England States; but they have only their
welve Senators.
The enterprising sons Of the Pilgrim land
know how to 1tilize their power in the Senate.
Their twelve Senators are chairmen of six first
rate cpmmittees, and of five of the second class.
But the twelve Senators from the other six
States just referred to are chairman Of only
two important committees, and of five Of an
inferior grade. And thus it has been ever
since the Republicans controlled the Senate.
When the smaller States grutnble at the
larger because of their increased membership
in the House, the former must draw consola-
tion from their comparatively superior power
in the Senate.

The Silk Cocoon

SOME time ago Messrs. Strawbridge & Cloth
ier, with their wonted liberality and enter
prise, offered prizes of the aggregate value of
$500 for the best silk cocoons of American pro-
duction. Those prizes were distributed last
evening under the auspices of the Women s
Silk Culture Association, and curiously
enough, the mother of the late Bayard Taylor
won the first prize. The competition was one
of great public interest and Importance. It
would be highly advantageous to the country
if instead of importing the raw silk. which is
more and more in demand, we produced it at
home, and the exhibition at st. Georges Hall
must tend to stimulate such production. 1t is
because they appreciate the truth of this that
Messrs. Strawbridge & Clothier made their
generous offer, and the same reason has led
them to repeat it. Such publicspirite con-
duct as this caanot be too warmly commended

Union, political party which four years
ago, under the lead of NJ. Gambetta, did good
service in the Republican interest at time
when the French Republic was less firmly
established than it is at present, is to be re-
organized This may be construed as a
movement by the late Premier made for the
purpose of regaining the influence he has
lost, and of restoring his damaged prestige.
When he was in power, M. Gambetta was
strongly opposed to the multiplication of po-
litical cliques, and it was against this multi
plication that the scrutin de Iste was direct
