After some informal consideration Of these
figures, DR.. Jepson lnoyed 10 divide the nor.
ton OF The city cast Of The river, which in.
clndcs all but the Island, into seyen wards,
as nearly equal as practicable, the wards to
be numbered cOnstcutively from II nth to
south aud the Island TO be the Eighth ward.
This provoked 4 good deal OF discussion
SOME OF the members OF the committee con.
s!dering the proposed change In lis political
lcaring, 10 which, however, tho Doctor
stated that he had given no consideration in
thinking over the plan proposed. Deduoting
the population OF the Island, $500, froa, the
total population Of tho city. 3OlS2, there re-.
mains IL population OF 97,SS2, which would
give rs the approximate population Of each
Of the seven new wards, %,0ll, This would
necessitate The formation Of the Fourth ward
out OF territory divided by Wheeling creek,
which most Of those present found very OBJ.
lecionablc, and the Doctors motion wls re.
jscted. ~, ,5s,
It was then suggested that the population
OF the Fi!ti! aud aixttl wards be equaiized by
taking portion Of the latter and adding il
to the territory Of the former, but Ills was
decidedly disapproved by the representatives
OF those wards.
Mr. Robinson then moved 10 allow the
wards to remain ~ at present constituted
HE members OF Council beIas allotted 10
them proportionally to their populations,
und this proposition was unanimously
adopted. l...
An apportionInent on basis of one Coun.
Gilman to every 600 population, and al atl-
ditional one 10 SEQ additional In any ward,
was proposed. This would increase the
membership OF The Second branch from o5
TO 2S, giving the First ward j. the Second,
Third, fourth and. Fifth 2 EACH the SiSth s,
the Seventh Band the Eighth 1. This was
found liable TO serious objections. A rev
proposition was entertained to establish a
new ward consisting OF the portions OF the
present First, Second. Third md Fourth
wards lying east OF the hill, dividing the re-.
manning territory north Of the creek into
three wards, but This was also abandoned.
Mr.. Miller wanted to report in favor OF
leaving the Branch Just as It now is, but wus
informed that this could not legally be done.
A motion to adapt basis of 1900 was carried,
but this was afterwards reconsidered, uud the
plan adopted of alloting one ,ncmber to each
100 of population, This gives to the Branch
IL membership OF %, divided as follows.

THE OTHER day the cable asserted
that Germany and Sweden had exc.
euted a treaty by which Sweden
bound herself to lend her powerful
fleet to Germany in the event Of q
war between the latter empire and
Russia. In consideration or CON-
pens alton for this service Sweden
was to have the Russian duchy of
Finland. 1t is hardly probable
that Russia and Germany will in
dulge in war. Germany is
not DESTROYS for a fight, and
Russia is in no condition to
make war upon any formidable
power, much less the Emperor
William. At the same time it is
not improbable that such an agree
ment as the one indicated in the
cablegram has been entered into. 1t
is like a scheme of the willy Bis
marck, who has a longer head than
any other man in Europe. For
nearly seven hundred years Finland
was a province of Sweden, Eric, the
Saint, king of Sweden, having con-
quered the country and christian
lied the people by means OF the
sword in the twelfth century. For
long years it was the cause Of quar-
rels and wars between Russia and
Sweden, and finally, in 1909, the
former was victorious and made
Finland a part of its own empire
The Firms have never taken kindly
to the Russians. and have tenaciously
chung to the Swedish language and
institutions, in spite of the Cars
vigorous efforts to supplant them.
The people ara represented as being
more loyal to the Swedish crown
than to the Russian emperor, and
though two generations have gone
since the change, they fondly look
for the time to come when they
will be subjects to the king and
country they love. There are only
100000 people in the country, but
fighting for what they would regard
as release from bondage they would
be able to greatly annoy their
masters, particularly if the latter
had a war with the European giant,
Germany. on their hands.

IT IS reported that President
Arthur fayors the dismissal of the
charges against General Fitz John
Porter, his honorable mastering
cut as maor-general and his retire
ment as a colonel in the regular
army. Ifthis is really what
the President desires, it shows
an inconsistency that has
not usually appeared in Mr..
Arthur's acts. Now, Fitz John
Porter was guilty as charged and he
declared, or he was not. If guilty his
punishment has not been half
severe enough; if innocent he has
been made to suffer wrong which no
action on the part Of the nation
can ever make right. President
Arthur, by his alleged recommended
tions. declares his beliefIin Porter's
innocence; then why not do all
which is little enough - to
make restitution and repair
alton to deeply wronged
man ? Porter was dismissed from
the army and cut off in what prom
ised to be a brilliant military career
by the wicked Judgment of a strongly
prejudicd court martial. The
country quite generally now con-
cedes that fact. No one questions
that hadIhe continued in the service

ENCOURAGEMENT COMES from
Dakota in regard to artesian wells.
In that territory, at a depth of Csc
feet, an apparently inexhaustible
supply of water was struck, the
stream rising thirty feet above the
surface. If lartesian water can be
obtained in Dakota we see no rea-
son W by it should not be found in
Utah; and if IL can be found here
the increase IN values in the terri
tory can scarcely be estimated. A
