WE quite agree with our esteemed
Democratic contemporaries the Potts
vile Chronicle and the Harrisburg
Patriot that, since the Democratic policy
at Harrisburg has been declared to be
one of continuance until appOrtion'
ments are made, there must be no
further trifling on the part OF the
Democrats there. II the majority or
the House members desire their con
s.ituents to believe that they are in
earnest they must stay there and keep
their associates there by the vigorous
enforcement of the Houses processes
aud by denying pay to those who do not
earn it by attendance upon the sessions.
1t is no way to make siege to let ways
open for the beleagured to sally out and
provision themselves. The Democrats
OF the House, being in majority, are
responsible for the policy of their party
at Harrisburg and they must prove that
they are In earnest in their profssSed zeal
for an apportionment. For thirty days
there have not been lOl Of them present
at any one session of the Legislature.
This trihing must cease. Absenteeism
must stop. Regular and frequent ses-
sions must be held. There must be no
pay to absentees, nor for time not occu-
pied with the public business. II is only
in this way that the Republicans can
ever be made to believe that the Demo

PottsVillc Chronicle, Dem.
The Democratic members of the Legis-
lature having decided in caucus that it
was their duty to make still further efforts
to secure the passage OF fair aud equitable
apportionmeut bills, we take occasion to
remind them that there is n certain cons;i.
tutioual obligation resting upon each
member to be in his seat every day the
Legislature is in session. No man can
honestly draw pay for services he does not
render. On several occasions recently the
Democratic vote in the House was lament
ably short aud the roll does not by any
means show full list Of Schuylkill rep
resentatives. Some of these days the Demo-
cratic side of the House will be caught

of abseutees and the Republicans will
obtain some permanent advantage which
will ueutralize all the efforts Of the Demo.

the Democratic members Of the House
should be in his place till the close Of the
session, uuless unayoidably detained
away. No doubt many of them are dis
heartened and disgusted at their failure to
secure even handed justice from their op.
pcnents, but that very failure makes it
the moro incumbent on them to be faith
ful in the discharge of every public duty,
in order that their Republican adversaries
may gain no further advantage over them.
