Ihe chairman of the county commit
tee says the aggregate relative vote in
the city and country has not changed
materially during these years. 1t will
be seen that the disproportlon in repre-.
sentation has been going on vigorously
for few years past. The country rep.
resentation has increased steadily, as the
men against whom these criticisms
are placed have succeeded by
adroit manipulation in gaining
control OF the political machinery OF the
county, and in the same proportion has
the political influence OF the city been
destroyed.
There is another popularity in the
late apportionment, which strikes the
eye. Precinct No. IL, which cast ninety
votes, is given seven delegates. Precinct
No. 8. which cast 106 votes. also has
seven delegates. Precinct No. 8, 1874
votes, likewise has seven delegates. It
will be observed that precinct No. 3
contains forty -four more votes than
precinct No. IL, aad twenty-eight more
than precinct No. s, but is allowed
only the same representation in
tho convention. Preclpct No. 2, Will
thirty-tive votes, is accorded three dele
gates. Taking this as the basis Of rep
resentation, precinct No. should be al
lowed not less than ten delegates. w.
give these figures as an illustration ol
the peculiar mode of apportionment by
which the representation in favorite pre-
cincts is inflated at the expense Of pre-
cincts not so easily controlled.
The whole transaction is o job and oul
interest in the matter is to demonstrate
this fact to the public.

The chairman OF the Yankton county
republican committee endeavors to ex
plain the evident unfairness Of the ap.
portionmeDt of representation in the
coming county convention. but does not
succeed in giving any satisfactory rea-
son why fourteen voters in the country
are entitled to one representative, while
in the city one representative only is
given to twenty-four voters. He prom.
ises, however, that he will have more to
say upon the subject in the future. The
public can hardly expect man to prop
agate sufficient reason off hand and
will be inclined to admit on amended
answer. This is problem in political
mathematics which cannot be eIucldated
without close study of the text books
and earnest and prsyerful consultation
among the various precinct arithme.
tloians. The only approach to an ex-
PLANTATION is the statement Of the chair.
man of the committee that the represen-
tation in the city has been increased in
the call under discussion by nine dele.
gates. This, on its face, appears like an
act of generosity hardly to be expected
from men SO deeply solicitous regarding
the political interests of the rural pre-
clncts. But an examination of the
official figures shows that while the city
has actually been given an increase of
nine representatives, the country has
been given, under the same call, an in
crease of eleven. This atones for the
municipal increase, with a couple to
spare. The figures are:

THE Law AND ORDER LEAGUE.
Meeting last Night at the Congress street
Methodist Church.

The Congress street Methodist church was
well filled last evening. Rev. e. T. Adams
presided at the meeting OF the league, and In
opening made some interesting and stirring re-
marks ON the duties of the members of the
Law and Order League. After his short speech
he introduced Mrs. Crocker, of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union. Mrs. Crocker,
who for long time has been an arduous work
er Tor the temperance cause, spoke hopefully
oil the fnture, and thought that the cause had
been set many years ahead instead of back, as
many people had seemed to her to think. She
spoke Of the great amount of temperance leg
islation during the past winter, and thought
that this was most decidedly good indication
for the future.
Mrs. Cox followed Mrs. Crocker, and spoke
further OF woman's duties and woman's wor2.
She had much to say of the bad reading of the
young, and thought that il was part of the
duty of the Woman's Union to do all possible
to suppress the degrading literature that ia be-
ing circulated to such an extent among the
boys.
Rev. Mr.. Adams next introduced Rev. Mr..
Crosley, who made the closing remarks of the
evening. He dwelt somewhat at length on
the necessity Of getting the entire public senti-
ment in favor of the enforcement of the law.
Having been in other countries and having
made observations there with special reference
to temperance, he said he had reason to be
thankful for cur laws; but at the same time he
thought II such laws existed in other countries
England, for. instancs-they would be far
better enforced. With Mr.. Crosley's remarks
the meeting closed.

Portland Cadets. !

The coming event Of the season will be the
much talked OF and long waited for Cadets
ball, which will take place at City Hall, Tues
day evening, Apri& 18th. The programme en-
braces concert by Chambers full military
band, from 7.30 to $50, drill by the company,
and veil selected order of dances This is
the fifteenth annual reception rendered the cit
izens OF Portland by the Cadets, aud they can

trodden blacks. As we study the history of
the jews IN the past 1900 years we see the
greatness of the down trodden race and the
wickedness Of the dominant people.
The third element of strength in this reli-
gion of the Jews is their belief that to them
will be given the dominion OF the Garth. The
speaker said he believed that this is true, not
however, as the Jews believe in their literal
reign, but in the coming Difference of the
world to the highest form of Judaism, which is
Christianity.
Many have belief in the coming power OF
this race. Many believe in the final expulsion
OF the hated Mohammedans from the land of
the Jews. Study this people and their coun-
try and see what they have been and are. In
the middle ages, they were the teachers, and
today they occupy great and high positions

SpinoZa. But whether or not outward power
is given these people, they shall finally have
dominion in the sway of their belief Do we
forget that Jesus Christ was q jew, born of
Jewish parents, taught by Jewish methods?
The strength of Judaism is the strength of
Christianity.
The speaker dwelt on the importance of a
study etthe history of the Jews, their litera-
ture and customs Success in the present is
earned by study of the past. To the Jewish
people was given the mission of teaching God
and his spirituality, and to Israel therefore is
given the dominion OF the earth

Municipal Court.


FRIDAY.-In the Municipal Court, Thomas Miller
was brought up on a search and seizure complaint.
Messrs. Rand and Lunt appeared as his counsel.
This seizure and arrest was made without war
rant, and was made and the warrant subsequently
issued by virtue of the last part Of sec 49, of chap
~ of the Revised Statutes which is as follows
sand in all cases where officer may seize intoxi-
eating liquors or the vessels containing them upon
warrant, he may seize the same without a war
rant and keep them in some safe place for reason
able time until he can procure such warrant Sec
40 defines the necessary steps to be taken to pro
cure a warrant and to arrest the offenders under
the search and seizure process.
Counsel for respondent raised the point that the
respondent could not be arrested until after the is
sue OF the warra for the that the Legisla
ture having enacted method of procedure that
enactment Of procedure excludes the right to pro-
eeed under the general law as to the arrest of per-
sons found violating the law, as had been done in
this case.
The Supreme Court has said as regards sec. SO:
'sThe power given by this statute to an officer to
seize property at pleasure without warrant, is an
extraordinary one. and can only be justified the
ground that the public good and the prevention of
CRIME require it. The statute should be construed
strictly"
Mr.. Rand claimed that the respondent had been
illegally arrested, and moved that he be discharged
The case was continued to Saturday morning,
when the court overruled the motion and ordered
the respondent to be arragned. Judge Gould said
that he thought the point more less well taken,
but that in court of limited jurisdiction he did
not feel like making decision to that effect. 1t
should be taken to higher court.
The case was finally continued until Tuesday
morning.
The counsel for the prisoner Immediately applied

nearing OF the question Saturday afternoon, Judge
Haskell denied the writ with prejudice.
