Going to Read Something Else.
IRON the Detroit Free Press.


The newspaper editor who had been
vexing his soul over the way the youth
of the land gulped down the dime no.
vels of the blood. .and-thunder sort can
feel better. A change of sentiment
has already betrayed itself, and there
is reason to hope that "One Eyed
Dick" and dead Shot Jim" will soon
be out of print. Yesterday a lad of
fourteen, who has devoured about a
thousand five and ten cent novels dur
ing the last year, entered Woodland
avenue news store, and when the clerk
handed him down "The Black De.
mon ofthe Prairies," and other late pub
lications of the sort, he turned away
with sigh and remarked:
Il don't care for 'em any more"
"Why, what's the matter p
swell, / read Injun stories and run
away to become an 1njun slayer. Dad
brought me back and whaled me half
to death. read pirate stories and
shipped on a schooner for Buffalo and
almost died of seasickness I read
hunting stories, bat there's nothing to
hunt around here except cats. I've
tried to be a trapper, but the only
game I've ever caught was the milk
man, aud he's laying tor me yet. l
kinder wanted to be train robber, but
the trains wouldn't stop to be robbed,
and when / read of boy heroes and
looked around to save rich girls in a
runaway coupe or old men from the
river, there never was any chance. I'm
going to change and read something
else"
"What shall it be p
want something about boy, who
began low and worked up. He musn't
rush into any burning houses, save any
stores from being robbed, discover any
plots to blow up steamboats,, or save
any old woman from mad dogs. lie
must be just ike the rest of us-have
headaches, get licked, hate to get out
of bed, fight his brothers and steal su-
gar and take it to bed to eat"
The deale' couldn't find such a book
and that lad went out with the remark
that nobody seemed to care to write
anything for boys.

A Platform Falsehood.

The republican state convention with
lmpudence unparalleled placed in its
platform a resolution asserting that the
democratic party was preventing fair
apportlonment. Let the people of
Pennsylvania know the truth. Daring
the regular session the democrats con
tended that the congressional appor-
tiOnlnent should be based on the strength
OF the two great parties in the census
year, 1880. On this vote the republi-
cans are entitled to fourteen congress
slonal districts and fraction and the
democrats TO thirteen and fraction.
Senator Cooper and the stalwarls said
emphatically that nothing should be
taken into consideration but "contigui-
" and compactness of territory and
equality of population as near as may
be- Finding that these terms would
give the democrats fourteen and per-
haps .ftteen congressman, the stalwarts
dropped the mask and now as empha,
tically demand that political maiorites
must be considered, but that apportion-
ment must be based on the number of
counties carried by the respective par
ties
a number of bills have been present
ed ut the regular and extra sessions.

VI these bills the Morgan bill and
the Lowry bill are the best maps. The
Morgan bill demonstrates the reason
why the stalwarts abandoned the
population and territory" idea and a
glance 1T the above table shows fully
how false the statement of the republi-
cans is that the McCracken bill is emi-
nentIy fair and just The average re-

Here is the fact The republicans
having control over the senate fixed
their ultimatum at nineteen republican
and nine democratic districts the de-
mocrats feeling that it was an Infamous
gerrymander of the state refused to
accept this ultimatum The regular
session ljourned without an appor-
Jlonment. The governor deemed it
his duty to support the constitution by
calling an extra session Now the re-
publlcans still demand their ultima
ium and say you must take nine de.

The House and Senate failing to
agree on the several apponionment
bills, committees of conference were
appointed. These also failed to agree
and SO reported TO their respective
branches The House appointed new
committees, but the Senate refused to
do so. There is but little prospect of
breaking the deadlock. The demo
Gratis are clearly right as they have the
constitution to back them, while the
republicans resolved to prevent the
provisions of the constitution from
beiDgearri out, because they cannot
get three or four more congressman
than they are entitled to. The ques-
ton as to what the democrats should
do under the circumstauces,is difficult
one. They car prevent an adjourn
ment bat it doubtful whether this
wouldSiccdnplish anything, and per
haps the only thing TO do, after making
every possible effort to comply with the
law, IS to adjourn, and let the issue
come before the people at the fall elec-
ton. The honest, fair minded voters
of the state will certainly not endorse
the unjust action of the republican
senate in preventing an apportionment
simply for partisan purposes.
