Minority Representatlon.

We have not yet advanced far
enough in the science of popular
government to adopt minority repre-
sentation. Majority government
plain and simple is as despotic as
the Gear of Russia, and is a. the
bottom of all our municipal, state
and national, bad and dishonest leg
-islation. If where there are tive or
more officers 10 be elected-three
County Commissioners, three dele
gates to the legislature of the state,
and other cases may be sighted in
point--it was allowable toscast three
yotes for one or divide them between
two; giving each vote and half
the minority could always have u
representation in such legislation.
The party with the majority of a few
votes would never be able to ride
rough shod over the large minority
as at present. This unfair advan
tage has placed political power in
the hands of rings, which have used
it to rob the treasury and contr
bad legislation. A minority repre-
sentation would purify politics more
than any other method tliat can be
devised and break up the bigetry
and party dominesing spirit born oil
m8jorities which are invested with
despotic power under our false popu
lar system.

Mr.. EDITOR,


Dear Sir:-My attention has
been directed to burlesque series of reso-
buttons presented to recent meeting of the
Board Of Cecil Co. FAIR Managers, said to
have been gotten up by one Of said Board
and intended TO bring into iidicnle and
contempt those workers in the w. c. T. U.
Of Cecil County, who respectfully present
ed to the Board petition asking them to
exclude from the premium list, domestic
alcoholic beverages. Now cannot but
think there is some mistake in attributing
such bald attempt at witticism, to a
member of the Board of Managers, but
rather the brain production of an individ-
ual with hay seed in his hair, who succeed
ed in getting the precious document on the
table by some kind Of trick. The request
of the w. c. T. U. doubt not, would be
seconded bYan overwhelming majority of
the voters of Cecil County, barring the col
ored voter, who was the chief ally of the
High License temperance and straight out
free whiskey combination Of the last local
Opt IN campaign. 1 would be glad to have
those who advocate the premiums for do
nestle liquors, to show the advantages to
the society BY sach premiums. The ladies
Of the w. G. T. U. are right, the dangers
of the vice of drunkenness lies in its inn
perceptible approach. The young man does
not see it in the domestic wines at tn con-
yivial home circle party. The fact is, IS
any one who has become the slave of the
inebriating cup will say that .ntsmperance
in alcoholic ,stimaiants come with noise
less step and binds with cords to light to be
felt.

Public Schools.

Mr.. Mccullough in his essay on
public schools makes some valuable
practical suggestions. but fails touch
the most vulnerable point Of all. Like
the ladies' dresses the trimmings

public school trimmings consist in
the multitude of books and numerous
branches (''lessons'') that are at

public schools are needlessly expen.

THE GLASS AND OTHER TRUSTS
Investigated by the Committee at N ew
York.
NEW YORK, Feb. 2S

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s
The Glass Trust was taken up by the
committee Investigating trusts, today. }.
II. lieroy, of Hcroy 4 Marrenor said the
association was composed of importing glass
manufacturers, and combined last year to
fix prices and consider action in eases of
competition. lie said notwithstanding the
average of tariff on plate glass was $50 per
cent. the wages of the men was only a dollar
per day.
The Sheep and Lamb Trust was then look
ed into. John Harrington, President of the
Sheep and Lamb Butchers Mutual Benefit
Association said the trust had made an agree
ment with the New York Sheep Brokers
Association, by which the members must
purchase all sheep and lambs from the latter
or pay penalty of - cents a head. Butcher
Shannon said that unless a butcher belonged
to the association he was compelled to pay
10 cents a head extra. The association
practically controls the New York market.
About two million sheep and 250. 900 lambs
are slaughtered in the city yearly. The
trust pays 3 IA cents a head to the Sheep
and Lamb Butchers Mutual Benefit Associa-
ton for their patronage. This money is
divided among the butchers pro rata. Farm

cation.
After recess, Oh proposition of Mr.. Choate

tees of the Standard Oil trust be examined

Notes.

Stain was very smooth and easy on the
taken for some prosecuted old gentleman or
the victim of conspiracy, rather than a
criminal He was also cool on cross exam
ination and bore the questioning of the coun-
sci very fairly. He will continue on the
stand tomorrow morning.
When Detective Heald stated that he saw
no lamp or screw driver on the safe in the
vault. the Monday after the Barron tragedy,
there was considerable excitement in the
court room. This statement went against
the testimony of the bank officers.
Harvey was a very attentive listener when
the bright young son of Court Stenographer
Smith was called to the stand to read from
his notes the testimony of Harvey at Dex-
ter. He leaned his head forward and his
face was flushed with excitement.
The throng going out of the Court House
at noon met an equally as large a one strug-
Cling to get in. The mass of humanity had
the appearance of mob.
DuFtDg the noon recess vent OF a steam
radiator had been knocked off. When steam
wes again turned on after the opening os
court, the escaping steam caused several la
dies to jlrnp up and hold onto their bonnets
as if they did not want TO lose their head
gear if the thing exploded.
There were four detectives in court today,
Head, Bean, lnnis, and MacC Causland.
When Mr.. Merry hchl. said she would
swear on a stack of Bibles, the Attorney
General said ''aFc you accustomed to need a
stack of Bibles to swear on." This created
a laugh tha, made Mrs. Merryfield got very
red in the face.
( At ten minutes past three buzz was heard
/ in the room the occasion being the calling OF
/ ID, L. Stain to the witness stand. After tax
I ing the stand he slipped into his mouth wha
was apparently lozenger. Probably his
mouth was somewhat dry. Stain answered
the direct examination in in a quiet. ever
tone. His tone Of voice, expression Of face
and general appearance was that of maj
