pliance with the system as 1t exists.
They had solid delegation in Congress
under the old apportionment, and they
endeavored to continue it solid in the
new. A Republican Legislature would
surely have done the same thing. It is
strict party precedent, and it Is not in
political human natureto do differently.
Fourthly, We also regard the reap
portionment as legal, constitutional and
valid, as regards territory and popula-
ton. The counties are contiguous; they
are also compact in the sense of contig-
uity and rs respects facilities for inter
communication. If there Is any special
Interpretation of the word compact"
that would require them to be arranged
upon any other plan than contiguity
and regard for the best means of COM
munieation, we have not found it, and
the geography of this and other States
would render it nugatory. They are
also las nearly as practicable, equal in
population" At least, so thought the
Legislature, and it is made the judge.
Contiguity and compactness are above
the requirement of equality in popula-
ton. The latter must vary as the two
other requisites make it necessary.
This is our answer, as direct as We can
make it.
We have every fault to find with the
system under which reapportionments
are made; We find no special fault, or
DEPRESSION from the common rale in the
reappOrtionment made by our Legisla-
ture, under that system.
We have great reason, as a Demo-
cratic journal, to find fault with the
system.
Under the system Republican legisla-
lures have gcrrymandered the Demo-
cratic party, not only out of their rights,
but out of all reason and fairness Of rep
reSentatiOn in Congress.
But for Republican gerrymandering,
the Democratic party would have con-
troll of the lower house of Congress
which is now in the hands of the Re
publican party.
Does anybody doubt this? Does the
Htclligencer pretend to deny it.
The exact fact is strikingly illustrated
in the following tabular statement as to
the result of gerrymandering in some Of
the larger Republican States:

A REVOLUTION FOLLOWING THE IN.
CREASED COST OF LIVING.

The increased cost ofliving is working
a revolution in all departments Of trade
and business.
II is the one question which will not
down. 1t is the question on the street,
in the market places, in the home, and
all the manifestations of domestic life.
1t has touched the pocket nerve of the
people, and they Vince. Families OF
moderate means have been obliged to
drop their meats, and their potatoes,
and other standard supplies of the table.
IL the increase came upon business
only it would be different, but the actual
neeeSssries are comparatively higher
than in the flush times succeeding the
war, when gold was at a great pre-
MUM.
The question has come to be, not how
or why or wherefore the increase, but
how to stand il. As we have said, it IS
working q steady revolution in business
affairs, and unless u change comes soon
serious domestic trouble will result.
Already in the city of New York, it
has brought about change in the
wages of nearly all the leading classes
of laborers. The cigar makers are agi-
tating against tenement hOuSework, the
brassworkers are organizing to get eight
hours day, the house trainers have got
their employers to abolish piece-wOrk
and the cuStOm-tailOrS have received a
ten per cent. advance. The stair-wOrk-
ers have received rise from $500 TO
$3.50 day by a strike, and the carpen-
tiers, about 700 i'm number, have Sc
cured an advance of a fifth after a short
strike. The blue stone and brown stone
cutters secured like increase practically
without a strike and the marble workers
and marble polishers after trying to get
one by strike have failed. The granite
cutters will make their demand this
week. The truckmen are on a strike
ia some parts of the city, the shoe
makers at one establishment, the track
men at points along the Hudson River
Railroad and the plumbers will drop
work unless they can get 81 a day. In
all, these labor movements have led to
an increase in wages for $4,000 to 10000
workmen, and if the cigarmakers sue
coed, $4,000 more will be benefited.
The very general advances made manly
In building trades show that profits per-
nit higher wages.

kepub!ica NJ Democratic

The table includes the Greenback
vote with the Democratic vote, but is
otherwise accurate enough. 1t does
not require any argument to demon
strate that the scheme whereby 1885,
400 Republican votes secure ninety Rep
resentatives in Congress, and 1,64l, 200
Democrats have but twenty-one Repre-
sentatives, is essentially unfair, and that
it required extraordinary manipula-
tons to reach such a result. With 80
per cent. ofvotes, the Republicans, it is
claimed, shall secure 50 per cent. of the
Congressman; while with AZ per cent.
of the votes, the opposition must per-
force content itself with representation
ofbut 80 per cent.
Still the main question remains:
What is the MteWgcacer'S opinion of
the reappOrtiOnment in Ohio?

THEAPPEAL IN THE TAX CASE vs.
THECS d. X. r. 60.

Col. HOGENAN, of counsel for the
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, in the great tax case, has taken
steps to apply for an appeal to the Uni
ted States Supreme Court from the de-
cision of the West Virginia Court, the
text of which was published in the REG
IsTER on Monday last.
He expresses confidence in the appeal
being allowed, and in the ultimate re-
versal of the decision of the State Court.
He is not making a dilatory fight, but
relies upon the merits of his case, and
will do all in his power to aid in the all
vancement ofthe ease on the Supreme
Court dock ct and in obtaining a speedy
decision.
The impressi on among the legal fra
ternity since the decision by the State
Court has been that that decision would
conclude the contest, inasmuch rs the
L. 5. Court is not disposed to interfere
with the unanimous opinion of State
court in the Interpretation of its own
laws; but Col. HOGESAN thinks that
whereas there are presidents of nine
teen legislatures acting under similar
constitutional provisions for like pur-
poses, and that inasmueh as some ofthe
best legal talent of the State was in the
Legislature which passed the exemption
hw in this instance, there is at least +,
substantial ground for a difference of
opinion about the constitutionality of
the law.
Moreover, he holds that the present
court is acting under different consti-
tuition from that under which the ex-
emption law was passed; and the add
tionai fact that two Circuit Courts have
held different opinions from the three
members Of the Supreme Court on this
question, that the L. :. Court will be
Induced to review the case.
We cannot see that there is anything
to be gained by the railroad company
in postponing settlement unless they
have confidence in the ultimate success
of their case, and doubtless they are
sincere in desiring to press it in the
court of last resort. 1t involves some
very nice and difficult points. The
opinion of the State court was confined
exclusively to the constitutional Ques-
ton, and upon this it seems to be very
clear and positive in support of the
State, but upon a case about which the
profession entertain so great variety
of opinion, it is not in order to regard it
as settled so long as there remains a
tribunal which has a right to pass
upon it.

dodge; and it has done it.
We expected that when We asked a
frank opinion of the Republican gerry
mander in Ohio, it would write column
editorial on the Democratic gerrymand-
er in West Virginia; and it has done it..
We did not expect that it would man
ifest the sincerity Ofits protested oppOsi-
ton to all gerrymandering by denOunc-
ing the fragrant example set by its own
party in Ohio; and it has moi done it.
1t has not dared to say one word in
denunciation of policy which it pro-
fesses to abhOr, when that happens to be
the policy of its own party.
And it won't.
II will denounce Democrats by the
column, but give silent acquieseence
and endorsement to Republicans for one
and the same thing.
1t will print maps, and spread and
buster, aud blubber, and below, and
blow, and bounce of its base when
West Virginia Democrats are to be
charged with gerrymandering, but will
say never word when Ohio RepubH-
cans do the same thing.
No amount of questioning or cross
questioning can draw from it an opinion,
or publication of the statement, either
rs a news item or editorial comment,
by which its readers may be informed
that a Republican Legislature in Ohio
having fifty majority ON joint ballot,
has divided up that State 20 rs to give
$4,000 Republican voters from 10 to Il
congressman, and $4,000 Democratic
voters from to 6 congressman.
1t won't answer.
1t won't comment.
Ii won't publish the news.
When asked about Ohio it will shift
to West Virginia.
1t will only dodge.
The HpteHigeRccr is nothing if not n
dOdger.
But it wants the opinion of the REG
IsTER rs to whether it endorses the
Congressional and Senatorial gerry
mander in this State"
We will answer. We will answer di-
rectly and not evasively. We will not
dodge. We might answer generally
and say with the bieIiigcRcer that the
REGISTER has never endorsed and
does not endorse any system of gerry
Wandering in West Virginia or else
where that is contrary to the Constitu-
ton of said State or the laws of the
United States"
But We will do more than that. We
will give direct opinion upon the re-
apportionment made in this State, aud
thereby set the HateiiigeRccr an example
which peradventure may induce it to
brace up and stiffen its backbone suffici-
emily to give the opinion asked of it on
Ohio. THE REGISTER has opinions on
all public questions and is not afraid to
express them.
First, therefore, The REGISTER is
free to say that West Virginia is not
fairly represented in the political COM
plexion of her Congressional delegation,
either now, or, prOspectively, under the
new apportiontment. II. is wrong sys-
tenn that gives the Democratic party
five representatives in Congress from
this State and the Republican party
none.
Second, the Democratic party is not
responsible for the system or the wrongs
growing out oft. 1t simply takes the
system as it finds it and, like the Ne
publican party, makes the most oft.
Thirdly, we regard the new appor-
tlonment made by the Legislature in
this State as q strict, fair and just COM

district on an anti-mOnopoly platform,
from which he proposes to blot out,

then the railway kings and turn over

corporations to the control of the Gen.

gives about eleven years of grace the
