Classifying the States according to the
divisions indicated, it will be seen that
New England now has % members; by
the proposed bill it will have 25. The
Middle Atlantic States have a; they viii
have II. The South has 9S; it will have
III. The Northwest has S.; it will have
90. The Pacific States have7; they will
have s. Only five States in all lose a
member, and four of these are New Eng
land States, the remaining one being
Florida. 1t we classify the States as
North and South, and for this purpose
transfer Maryland and Delaware to the
South. the account stands at present,
North is, Ssuth 105 1t will stand, if
the bill is passed, North POP, South lis,
the North gaining II and the South Is.
This is probably about as fair a divi-
sion as there was any reason to have ex-
pected from a Republican Congress, but
apart from the objection already ad-
vanced Of an undue increase in the
House, it is clearly unjust to Florida.
Our sister State has a population of
269. 493. vet she Is to lose a member, and
hereafter have but one, while Ne
braska. to which it is proposed
to give three members-a gain
of two-has but 452, 402 inhabitants.
Thus it will be seen that while the
basis of representation in Florida is
one member for every 269, 493 in
habitauts. in Nebraska the ratio
Of representation is proposed to be one
member to every Isl, 900 Of population,
or but little more than half of what is
required n Florida. There is certainly
something wrong about this, ard it
should be corrected either by keeping
Florida's representation as it Is, or re
ducing that of Nebraska by one. It
smacks considerably Of partisanship for
a Democratic Southern State which has
increased largely in population in the
last ten years TO be cut out of a repre-
sentative, while a Republican Western
State, with a population by no means
double that Of Florida, is given an in
| crease of two.
It may be said that Florida has no
right to complain since Rhode Island,
with even a larger population, is only
allowed by McCoid's bill one Repre-
sentative. That, however, does not
mend the matter Two wrongs never
made a right, and if Rhode Island is
satisfied it is no reason why Florida
should be. AS it is now, it looks very
much as if the bill was framed by a
Western Republican member more in the
interest of the West and the Republican
party than of other sections of the coun-
try, and we hope that before it is allowed
to become a law at least the glaring de-
feet in It, to which we herein allude, will
| be remedied.

The immunity which has heretofore
been secured TO politicians in Philadel-
phia has been practically demonstrated
by the career of Robert Smith Lister. He
deliberately shot a man in a railway car
while on his way back to Philadelphia
from State convention, and on his trial
it was proven that he had frequently be
fore this INDUCED in the pastime Of
shooting people with impunity because
of his political 'infewnce" He
wounded SIX men with bullets within
fifteen years, but in only two instances
was he brought to trial, and in one of
these cases a juror was fixed, +" while in
the other he escaped imprisonment by
means of pardon. His assaults without
weapons were too numerous 10 recount.
Yet for all this he was an employe in
the COroneI's office of Philadelphia at a
salary of two thousand dollars year,
and stood as high as ever with the poll
ticians. He has gotten his deserts at
last, however. The recent conviction Of
several Jury fixers," have badly fright
ened that class of gentry, so Lister now
goes to prison.

Injustice Of the Proposed New APP
pOftiOnment Bill.

The bill of Mr.. McCoid, Of Iowa, pro-
viding for a new spportionment of the
House of Representatives, based upon
the census returns of 1890. increases
the number of members OF
the lower House of Congress to
800. being an addition of p over the
present membership. THIS increase Is
Objectionable, since the present House
is sufficiently large-if not indeed already
too large TO be easily kept in hand
and for it to be made larger IS to
incur the risk of making the body IN
wieldy and cumbersome. This oblec-
ton viii not be likely to hold, however,
since the members are more DESTROYS Of
obtaining as large a representation as
possible for their respective States than

How Farmers Nav Reduce Expense

How Farmers May Reduce Expenses.
a distinguished railroad citizen of GeOr-
gia remarked some time ago that the
farmers of this State had it absolutely in
their power to materially reduce the
earnings Of the railroads if they would
raise what they consume on their own
farms. This statement contains enough
substantial truth to attract the attention
of every intelligent planter in the State.
1t is evident to every man of common
sense that a very large proportion of the
high dividends paid by the railroads in
this State have, since the war, been de-
rived from the heavy shipments to our
farmers of provisions, fertilizers, farm
ing utensils, machinery and many other
articles of like character, most of
which could undoubtedly be provid-
ed by the farmers themselves if they
would only determine to do so.
By our system Of farming, however,
our planters have gotten in the habit of
importing nearly rything they use,
thus placing upon themselves the double
burden of first purchasing what they
need at ruinOus prices abroad, and then
paying freight rates to the roads, both
on what they send out from their farms
and on what they thus import, and there
is no doubt that this double drain upon
them must work disastrously to the
farming interests of the State
The only certain remedy for this state
of affairs is to be found in our farmers
producing a diversity of crops, instead
of concentrating all their energies upon
one or two leading articles, and paying
more attention to the "home supply"
department of the farm. If our planters
will adopt this system of farming they
will soon cut off at least half their pres
emit freight expenses, and will vastly
increase their own independence.

Tmur,sOumeut for Debt in New York.

In his recent message to the New York
Legislature Gov. Cornell animsd7erted
sharply on the practice, in vogue in New
York city, of imprisonment for debt con-
trary to the statutes of the State. 1t
seems that the merchants of that city
have been in the habit of compelling
tardy country customers to meet their
obligations by means of the cdpids, and
it is no uncommon matter for debtors to
be taken up unawares and sent to Jail for
an indefinite period.
Gov. Cornell contends that this is lille
gal and unjustifable, and denounces the
practice in unmeasured terms. Says he
in his message:
"Flagrant outIages against personal
liberty by Imprisonment for debt are of
frequent occurrence in the city of New
York. Hundreds of people are annual
lv arrested and lodged in the county
Jail. and there detained until bail can be
secured, which is generally difficult and
often impossible for the unfortunate vic
Tins to obtain. Imprisonment for claims
insignificant in amount are Of no uncOm-
mon occurrence, and fifty to seventy.
five prisoners are often held in detention
under civil process at a time. Instances
are by no means rare where individuals
have thus been restrained of their liber-
ty for several years before procuring
release. Imprisonment for debt
was formally abolished by the
statutes of this State many years
ago, aud it has long been the pride of
our civilization that no person should be
deprived of personal freedom except on
a penalty for crime or misdemeanOr. To
the contrary, however this theory is not
made good in practice The truth is
known that citizens are far from secure,
and as this condition of things affects
more seriously the poor and friendless,
all the more necessity exists for the cor
recton of present abuses. Every con-
sideration of humanity demands that
these wrongs shall be promptly corrected
by careful amendments of the laws now
in force"
Abiding to this practice, ard Cover
nor Cornell's comments thereon, the
Galveston Ners remarks, very peril
nently, that it is sharp commentary on
those papers in the North which are
continually bowling and grooming over
the alleged wrongs of the negroes IN
some of the Southern States, in having
their effects liable to seizure for rent, or
in being required to pay pol tax as a
prerequisite of voting. The barbarsm
spoken of by Governor Cornell is prac-
ticed in no Southern city, and there is
no reason to suspect that he exaggerates
the situation.

How any man diligent in his business,
20 matter what it may be, may become
rich, has been exemplified in the case of
a San Francisco man who started out as
a iourneyman sign painter, managed to
get up reputation for dis uising black
eyes and facial bruises, and is now
wealthy. He says he had regular
customers who were pugnaciOus and
proud Some of them always had a
bruise or two to be painted out. But the
most lucrative part of the business was
in the other direction. Some fellow suing
for damages would want few bruises
painted on. Cinnamon were fierce for
that sort Of thing, and the shysters used
to bring them around to be fixed up with
daub Of asphaltum paint under one eye
and a quart of vermilliOn spilled in their
hair. Then they would swear out war
rant for murderous assault against some
one who had thrown tomato at them.

The Louisville Courier Journal fully
understands what protection in the South
amounts to- livery truly remarks: "The
protection organs keep up a continual
clatter of advice to the Southern people
to become protectionists. Some New
England organs of the subsidy beggars
have come to the conclusion, however,
that the Southern people understand
their own interests too well to allow
themselves to be bamboozled into the ad
vocacy Of a policy which will set them
back half a century and shut them out
from the foreign markets they will need
for their cotton products. The Boston
TraCeI.r has even gone 50 far as to de.
clare that New England Is ready at any
time to advocate free trade in order
to keep the South from developing
her manufacturing interests. 1t real
" would not make any difference
to the South what course New
England may choose to pursue. She
can make very large variety of cotton
fabrics at a cost very much below that
for which the same goods eau be made
in New England, and IN a few years she
will be making the finer goods at prices
which will leave New England high and
dry. What the Southern manufacturers
want is very decided knocking down
of tariff duties on everything which en-
tiers into the construction of cotton
mill, and such a general and reasonable
tariff reduction as will open to them the
markets of the Spanish American coun-
tries to the south and west of US.
Prominent New England manufacturers
of cotton goods have distinctly declared
that they can get along very well with
out protection There is no doubt of
it, and, if they can get along without
protection, the Southern manufacturers
certainly do not need it.
