TnE Weston Democrat raises the point
that West Virginia could not elect q dele
gateas layc in case Congress does not
agree upon basis Of apportionment priol
bthc adjournment of the Legislature. II
quotes section 4th OF article LIST Of the Con
stituton Of the State, as follows:
"For the election OF Representatives to
Congress. the State shall be divided into
districts corresponding in number with the
representatives. to which it may be en-.
titled, which districts shall be formed OF
contiguous counties, and be compact, and
tGth dsrid rlaN contain as nearly as may be
an T,ai Hunbtr gf population"
Suppose that Congress should say that
all States entitled to an extra member,
for which the Legislature OF any State may
not havcprovidcd, shall electa delegate'at'
large for said Statc-would not that sort oi
amandaie settle the fourth section Of the
dHt article? suppose, further; that the
present lcgislaturcOi West Virginia should
provide, in case Of u new apportionment
on any basis that may be adopted that
shall give the State four instead Of three
Representatives, that the counties shall
stand divided into districts as follows
tIlcrc would follow tho specification Of dis
tricts.l Would that sort Of provision no
meet the Democrats difficulty.

ST. LOUIS, January GA dispatch from
Dallas, Texas, says that II. A. Little, who
had been guest at the st. George hotel,
Of that city, for several days past, went
into the office about l2 o'clock last night
when nobody was present excepting Ford
Parker. the night clerk, and colored
waiter. Stepping up to the counter Little
handed Parker parcel and asked him 10
put it in the safe.
Parker turned toward the safe, when
Little sprangat him with drawn revolver,
and ordered himto throw up his hands and
keep still. He then attempted TO rob the
safe, but Parker rushed on him, wrenched
the pistol from his hand, fired and sent n
ball clear through Little's body, inalcdng a
mortal wound. Parker was arrested, but
he will, no doubt, be released, as every
body thinks he did right.

CHICAGO NOTES.
Interesting Items from the Metropolis
OF the NOrthWest.

CHICAGO, January 22.-The Tribune,
which has been particularly interested in
the anti-Mormon meeting to be held here
Monday, has two columns Of responses
this morning from all parts of the coun.
try, showing that there is strong sympathy
with the movement, and that in all large
cities similar meetings will be held.
A SUPERINTENDENT of one Of the street
car lines says that judging from the in.
crease in travel in his division, the popu.
lation Of the city has increased rs. .OOC
since the census Of 1880 was taken, and
according to the statistics of travel, should
now be about G50,0O0.
A delegation OF prominent residents Of
Dakota have been here to-day and left to.
night for Washington to urge the admis-
sion OF the Southern half Of Dakota as a
State. All the political parties and opinions
are represented in the delegation which
numbers sevcnty.fve. They say that
while the Territory is largely Republican,
and with the present party the issue will
undoubtedly remain SO, all its citizens urge
its admission, which has in fact become a
necessity, and they have no doubt their
prayers to Congress will be needed.
