The Large States and the Small
States

On opening the debate in the House ON the
bill forapportioning representatives under the
last census. the usual conflict arose between
the small states and the large states The
former complained that the latter had com
hined 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 reduced.
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 represen-
tatives as the next will contain Maine had
eight members Ii will now get but four.
For long while New Hampshire had six
members. 1t now must take up with two.
Vermont. which in days gone by had siN now
drops to one. Rhode Island has always had
two members. The pending bill gives the
state barely one. The time was when Con
necticut had seven. 1t will now stand at four.
When Webster was first chosen to Congress
from Boston. Massachusetts had fourteen rep
resentatives The state has since grown IN
population, opulence. and wealth. But IN
House twice as numerous that wherein
Webster made his speech on the Greek revo-
luton it can scarcely obtain twelve members.
In short. under the pending bill, New Eng,
land which formerly elected One-eighth OF
the House. will be allowed to elect only one
thirteenth of i during the next ten years.
But New England finds compensation IN
the Senate, as do all the small states which
look with envious eyes upon the increased rep
resentation of the large states in the House.
New England will have only tweniy-tour
members in the House. hut she retains her
twelve Senators. 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 appor-
tionment. or raore than FIVE times as many as
the six New England states but they have
only their twelve senators.
The enterprising sons of the Pilgrim land
know how 10 utilize their power in the senate.
Their twelve Senators are Chairmen qi sly
hrSt-rate committees. and Of FIVE Of the second
class. But the twelve Senators from the other
six states Just referred Ia are Chairmen OF
only two important committees, aud ct i've ct
an inferior grade. And thus it has been ever
since the Republicans controlled the Senate.
Nhea the smaller states gruushe at The
larger because Of their increased membership
IN the House. the former must draw consola-
ton from their comparatively superior power
IN the SENATE. T. .StH.

salaries of the Carroll county public school
teachers for the winter term were promptly
paid in full.
The renewed bond of the Treasurer was sub
mitted. approved, accepted, and ordered to

missioners. the County Treasurer 5 check tor
that sum was paid over to the school treaSnr-
er, thus enabling that funetionay to pay OF
our highly deserving teachers with commend
able promptitude. This is very gratifying
circumstance and reflects high credit upon our
liberal vet economical Board of County Com
missioners.
Several applicants, of both sexes, for free
seats in w. NJ. College and in the State Nor
NAL School. were placed on file with the I'M
derstanding that, when found sufficiently quail
fled in all respects, these applicants will be
commissioned and thus authorized to avall
themselves of any unoeeupied free seats due
to Carroll county in either those institutions
which they can find vacant or unappropriated,
and to which they can gain abundance by sue
cessfully passing the examinations OF the
County Examiner and those of the authorities
respectively of those institutions. Among
these applicants named. arc several young
gentlemen of merit and two or three young
ladies of the highest promise, the latter now
very successfully pursuing their studies IN the
Manchester Grammar School, which has for

ed bv that accomplished teacher, Mrs Nellie

The Board was careful to make strict in
onirv into the teachers various methods and

nation order, leaving imperative mInnetlons
that all omissions in the thorough vaccination
of all the pupils shall be remedied with the
least possible delay.

A number of gentlemen, in behalf of a large
school in the country appeared and presented
urgent objections 10 their teacher. demanding
her removal by the School Board but in the
absence Of two Of the school trustees, II was
not thought advisable To take any definite SC
