Constitutional Obseurities.

Constitutional ObScur1tleSs
The crude provisions of the new con.
stitution create some, difficulties in the
way of apportionment OF the state
which embarrass the work of the Legfs,
lature no little in making fair division
of senatorial and judicial districts es.
pecially, and which, it is strange that
the trainers of that document could not
foresee and avoid. For example the
fifth section of the judiciary article de-
clares in. one phrase that whenever a
county contains forty thousand inhahit-
ants it shall constitute separate
judicial district, while counties with
less than that may be formed into
convenient single districts or attached
to contiguous districts, in which case,
if a contiguous county is attached to one
Of over forty thousand population, it at
once ceases to be "a separate judicial
district" as the same section OF the
constitution provides that it shall be.
Again. in the matter of senatorial
representation, the constitution provides
for fifty separate senatorial districts
and for them each to have as
nearly as possible an even ratio
of population, at the same time re-
ssricting Philadelphia to eight districts
though it has population enough fol
more; obviously the reasonable way tt
fix a ratio for the apportionment of thu
state, would be to divide the number
of people outside of Philadelphia by
forty-two, but the constitution di
rects /" that the senatorial ratlt
shall be ascertained by dividing tn
whole population of the state by tn
number fifty - it is a mathematical i'm
possibility to get forty-two ratios out
side the eight Philadelphia districts.
Further, the constitution directs tha
no single county shall form separate
district unless it has four. .tifths Of
ratio, except where the adjoining
counties are each entitled to one or NOR
senators when such county may be as
signed senator on less than four fifth
and exceeding one.half of ratio, and n
county shall he divided unless entitle
to two or n ore senators. The county
Lebanon has not half of a ratio, and ye
under some peculiar construction 9
the constitution it has a senate
while Berks with nearly four times a
much population cannot get more tha
one senator Delaware with 56.OO2 pol
ulation is, as Cooper boasts, always sal
for senator, though Luzerne wit
1873 900 cannot get two under the COZ

THE theme of socialism is likely to be
treated by Gilbert and Sullivan in their next

productions SO acceptable to the public.
These gentlemen, however, would inau'
