The constitution provides that no
county shall be divided unless entitled
to two or more senator's" This seems
to bar the suggestion we have made that
the surplus population in a county that
has more than one senatorial ratio
might be combined with the population
of an adjoining county, having less than
a ratio, to make senatorial district.
The constitutional provision should
have been, and probably was intended to
be, that no county should be divided
unless entitled to more than one sena-
tor for there is no perceptible reason
why county entitled to two or more
senators should be divided, when a bunty
having more than enough population for
one senator may not be. If Berks county
had surplus over the full ratios for two
senators, that surplus could be cut off and
Joined to Lebanon to make a senatorial
district; and if this would be right, there
is no reason why it would not be just as
well to utilize in this way the surplus of
Berks over one senatorial ratio. When
the trainers of the constitution directed
that the senatorial ratio should be ascer-
tanned by dividing the whole population
of the state by fifty, they should not at the
same time have forbidden the use of the
surplus population in some counties to

Mr.. DORSEY follows Mr.. Brady on the
witness stand, and initiates him in de-
nying everything that has been testified
to that would show that he is not inno-
cent as lamb. According to these two
witnesses, their prosecution has been a
very groundless thing. There exists no
reason at all for accusing them of guilt,
but abundant cause, on the other hand,
for crediting them with patriotic devo-
tion to their duty to the country. 1t may
be so but evidently their testimony
will not suffice to demonstrate their
innocence. People in their situation
are expected to swear as they do. The
possible penalties of perjury are nothing
as compared with the pending danger
of conviction of the charge on
which they are tried. A defendant can
do himself so little good 10y testifying in
his own behalf that the wonder is that
they attempt it. But man can never
persuade himself that he will not be
believed. When he is innocent he burns
to declare it and when he is guilty he
is just as anxious to affirm his limo.
cence. 1t is human nature. 1t takes
a stole to yield himself without protest
to his destiny. Dorsey and Brady will
be convicted if the evidence against
them suffices and their own testimony
will not weigh in the scale. In offering
it they put upon those who pronounce
them guilty of the crime for which they
are indicted the further burthen of de-
claring them guilty of perjury.

SOMETIME ago there was read in the
Legislature and ordered to be printed at
the expense of the state, we believe, the
report of committee that had been
appointed by previous Legislature to
examine into the workings of the state
agricultural college, the failure of which
has long been a scandal. The report
was flattering to the past management
of the institution it was considered a
whitewashing report. Now Willis R.
Bierly, an eX-member of the Legislature,
who was member OF this committee
and is now a resident of Texas, writes to
the Farmers Friend that before he left
the state he filed his report as member
of the investigating committee with the
resident clerk, and afterwards authorized
Gahan, member from Lycoming, to have
it duly presented as minority or sepa-
rate report.
II this is the case-and we have reason
to know that Mr.. Bierly made an exam
ination for himself and a report thereon
what has become of his report? Has
it been suppressed Why was it not
presented when the majority report WAS
offered, and printed with it !? What
says the late resident clerk What
says Representative Gahan What
says Senator Mylin, who was chairman
of the committee ? We anxiously await
their reply.

DEATH PREFERRED TO MARRIAGE.

A Prominent Merchant OF 81. Clair Ellis
Himself to Break an Ensagement-
Other Recent Sensations.
The people of St. Clair, Schuylkill
county, were greatly excited over the an
nouncement on Wednesday, that Herman
Nueman, prominent merchant and lead
ing citizen of that town, had committed
suicide. Neuman was ffty-eight years
Of age, a widower, with three daughters,
two of whom are married and the third
keeping house for him. He contemplated
marrying in the near future and it was
this fact that led him to take his own life,
His daughter Emma at the inquest testifi-
ed that when she got up in the morning she
heard her father walking about the store
room floor and then go into an Outhouse.
She prepared breakfast for her father, who
could not be found around the house. She
became alarmed at his absence and mott
fed her married sister, who lived close by.
Together they made an examination of the
outbuildings and found their father hang
ing from q beam in the stable. Their
screams quickly brought William Sykes
and John Williams to the scene, who cut
Nueman down, but life was extinct.
The moose was made of an ordinary
clothes line, thrown over the beam sew
eral times, fastened to a brace and also
| tied to nail. The other end was fastened
about his neck with slip-knot. Near the
body stood sleigh, from the shafts of
which the unhappy man, after adjusting
the moose, stepped into eternity. His
afianced, Miss Nellie Malcomson, who is
26 years of age, rather good looking and
modest in appearance, said that she
was known at St. Clair as Nellie Bailey.

so much that he called to see me on Sat

duct"
Nueman's objection to his marriage with
Miss Malcomson was based on the fac,
that some time ago she had child, who
is still living, but its fathers whereabouts
