Mr.. ANDERsos's proposed amendment to
the rules of the house in relation TO the floor
privileges of ex-members deserved adoption
instead of defoat. 1t was genuine step in
the way of useful reform. The lobby is well
known and recognized force in deciding leg
islation, and it is notorious that effective
lobby work has been done by ex-members.
There is no reason on earth why an ex-mem-
Der, who chooses to engage in this business,
should have the right to ply his calling on
the aeor Of the house, while his associates in
the same limo are left out in the cold. Tho
amendment could not unpleasantly affect ox-
members visiting the house for reasons OF
friendship and courtesy.

The democrats in the Ohio legislature have
enacted law gerrymaudering the state for
congressional purposes. They have arranged
for twelve democratic and nine republican
districts, but somehow or other neither party
have found political expedients of this kind
to pay very we'll in Ohio. For years past it
has been the regular thing when the control
of the legislature changed to promptly redis-
trict the state, so that, on paper, tho party in
control took the greatest possible number Of
districts. with the almost invariable result Of
revolt by the people at the next election
that knocked the gcrrymander higher than
Gilderoy's kite. 1t ia not very likely the
programme will be varied from in this in

London's Growth.

chicago Inter ocean.
There is great interest in regard to the status
Of London in point OF comparative growth, ard
Loftie's "History of London" now in the hands of
the English public, gives the exact facts and
figures as they have been obtained from careful
research. The London OF 1860. lying almost wholly
north Of the Thames river. occupied an area of
only two square miles In extent In 1878 II had
inoreasedsto an area Of six square miles. Between
that date and 1884 the metropolis little more
than doubled its extent. But the marvellous
growth was from 1884 to 1881. In the period of
time between those dates the bulk OF London was
swollen TILL instead having six square miles as 1t
did In 1885, sixteen as in 1884, 1t reached over an
area Of between seventy and eighty square miles,
and 10 yet increasing rather than diminishing. It
is fact, however, that none of the other English
cities show an adequate correspondence OF
growth.

Oh, do not mourn when am dead,
Compounded with the dull, cold clay;
would not have thee bow thy head,
Or weep for me one single day.
1love too much your noble truth
To cause one sigh for me when dead,
And looking on your blooming youth,
Can wish no tears whom life has fed,
Forget me when I've passed away
Go, love another for my sake,
And let your life be bright as day,

Nor let one throbbing, pensive wall
Bemoan me when'a buried wreck.

He Finally Accepts the Presidency OF the
Minnesota State University.
Prof. Cyrus Northrop, Of Yale, has accepted
the presidency of the Minnesota state universe
ty at Minneapolis.
The last week Of February Regents Pillsbury'
Clark and Davis met at the Fifth Avenue hotel,
New York, and decided TO offer the presidency
of the state university to Prof. Northrop.
President, now Professor, Folwell resigned
over year ago, and some impotence began to
appear with the unfavorable situation in which
the university was placed. Fleeing rumors
early in the interval were to the effect that ex-
Senator Patterson of New Hampshire was to
come to the head of the Institutions selection
that was not generally approved 1t is under
stood that the selection of Prot. Northrop was
practically unanimous with the board OF regents.
Gov Pillsbury and Judge Clark went to New
Haven February oath, and formally offered the
under consideration. March 9th Prof. North
rop arrived in Minneapolis and spent week in
looking over the university and gaining an ac-
quaintance with the situation. 1t was stated
that the salary offered was 81, 800, but that he
did not wish to give up salary of 81, 500 at
Yale at time when he had just completed a
fine residence, to incur the expense attendant
on moving SO far West During his visit here
reception was given Prof. Northrop by Mr..
Charles A. Pillsbury, to which were invited the
Yale graduates and the prominent citizens OF
both cities. The impression at the time was
that the offer would not be accepted Prof:
Northrop is forty EIGHT years old, is good
lawyer, brilliant orator, something OF poll
tician, and has been professor of rhetoric in
Yale college twenty years. For twelve years he
was collector of the port of New Haven.
