A Mockery of Popular Rule.

It is common to hear New England
Senators and Representatives, declaim
against the reconstructed States be-
cause their local governments are not
Republican in form, as required by the
Constitution; but during the last score
of years the only three States of the
Union which have persisted in anti
Republican form of government are
Rhode Island, Connecticut and Della
ware, and of these Delaware is the
least offender.
Rhode Island, where a property
qualification for suffrage has been ap-
p.ied to all naturalized citizens, and
thus disfranchised nearly one-third
the citizens of the State. has finally
amended her funda mental law, but
was careful not to allow it to go into
effect until after the late Presidential
election. 1t required more than half a
century of battle for Republican
form of government il, Rhode Island
including one good-sized Dorr rebel
lion, but the wrong has been corrected
and little Rhody is at last able To look
her sister States in the face and point
to her free institutions.

Lines to Ny Bed.

1 am not tickle, good old bed of mine;
/ am not changeful in my honest love;
Absent from thee, for thy embrace pine,
Warmer thy bosom than the brooding
dove.
My heart is never cold, old bed, to thee,
As oft thy snowy sheets have been to me.
What though linger when the night is free,
And loiter when the starry hours wane,
And midnight pauses ere 1 come to thee,
Throbs thy white breast with any counter
pane:
Too oft am truant from the nest
Which oft my weary head with joy hath
pressed.
But, when the rosy fingered hours of dawn
Touch with prismatic colors all the sky,
Oh, how love thee! When the night is gone
How sweet upon thy restful heart to lie,
And nap and doze aud snooze till peal on
peal
Rings the third bell for mornings CHEEKY
meal.
All, then, how can leave thee, gracious bed:
Health, peace and quiet rest find in thee;
Wrath and defiance hurl | at the head
That would pronounce divorce 'twixt thee
and me:
NV love for thee, cold as the stars at night,
Burns like the August sun at mornings light

About Revision.

There seems to be great diversity
of opinion as to the best method of
rev ising the statutes. After more
mature deiiberation better under
standing of the subject may be reach
ed. This is by far the most impor-
tant matter now unier consideration,
and it would be well nigh impossible
to indicate the numerous and various
plans proposed.
One member of the Joint committee,
who has had considerable legislative
experience, thinks that the hest plan
Is TO proceed with the session as
though revision of the tariff was not
under consideration, and after all the
changes have been made revise and
publish the laws. He argues that if
each section is taken up some one
will always be ready with suggestions
and changes, and thus prolong the
session Indefinitely without accom-
plishiDg the desired result.
Another plan proposed is to refer TO
the various committees the subjects OF
legislation of which they properly
have jurisdiction. thus having each
committee perform its share OF the
revision.
Gov. Morehouse, in his message,
suggested the appointment OF a COM
mittee with power to revise he
thinks the ordinary business OF the
session could be concluded in q snort
time, the legislature adjourn after APP
pointing the committee and then De
reconvened by the governor alter the
committee work was finished.
The three plans named attract the
greatest share of attention, and the

system IS yet maintained to perpet-
| uate partisan power in defiance of the
people. Time and again the voters OF
Connecticut have elected Governor
and other State officers only to see
them rejected 10y the Legislature that
is packed by rotten boroughs and the
defeated candidates Installed in office.
The constitution :orbids the choice of
the people TO fill any State office un-
less he has received majority of the
whole vote cast, and the rotten borough
Legislature elects by rejecting the
choice of the people. And it is start
ling to note now this mockery of the
popular will is planned and executed.
1t is done solely by flood of rotten
boroughs having from 100 to 800 votes;
each of which elects as many Repre-
sentatives as New Haven with her
5000 votes. Thus the town of Union
with llS votes elects 2 Representatives,
while the town of New Haven with 49,
900 votes elects only Representa-
tives. There are IA towns, beginning
with New Haven and ending with
Bristol. which poll an aggregate of
nearly $4,000 votes and elect only 2S
Representatives, while ITO towns,
which poll an aggregate vote of 75 900,
elect 220 Representatives. 1t is simp-
y shameful mockery of every fea-
ture of Republican government, and 1t
should be speedily overthrown.
Delaware, the much abused Bourbon
State, is paragon of popular rule
compared with Connecticut. There
Kent and Sussex rule the State against
New Castle. but Kent and Sussex
have more population, as given in the
last census, than New Castle, and
there is at least semblance of pop
ular rule; but the fact remains that
New Castle, with nearly or now proba-
bly, quite one-half the population of the
State, elects but third of the Senators
ant Representatives. The difference
between Connecticut and Delaware
is that in Connecticut $4,000 voters
elect IS representatives and 10000
voters elects 220. and in Delaware one
half the voters elect Senators and Z
Representatives and the other half
elect 6 Senators and IA Representatives.

this evening of the ninteenth cent
ury, but what sort of Bourbon dark
ness is it in Connecticut?-Phitadet.

The Cincinnati Enquirer the other
day fairly gushed over with praises Of
ex-senator Platt's purity, aud made
the welkin ring with regrets that il
had the day before permitted certain
charges against him to appear In it's
columns. The charges were made as
coming from Arthur E. Bateman, q
Wall stree. banker and member OF the
Union League Club, and accused Platt
not only of procuring from the 3lub an
extra $780, 900 just befor the election to
pay the expenses of the Coogan labor
ticket, but OF Offering the position of
Secretary of the Interior under Harri-3
son to the Pacific roads for $500, 600, TO
be expended in electing Harrison. IL
was said that memorandum of this
negotiation had fallen into the hands
of Calvin 8. Brice and had been locked
up ir his safe because Platt is Presi-
dent of an express company of which
Brice is the largest stockholder. The
promptness and emphasis with which
the Enquirer discredited the story will
probably satisfy Platt and Brice, but
few words i'm the same vein from Mr..
Bateman would greatly improve the
situation. Post Dispatch.

Cleveland in 1892.

Our Republican contemporaries are
fond of assuming that Mr.. Cleveland IS
political career ends with the eXpira-
ton Of his present term of Office. TIL is
assumption might be warranted if the
Republican party were capable of pur-
suing a national policy when in admin
istrat ton, thus allowing new com bina-
tions for the electoral college. The
Democratic party will continue to force
the tariff issue, and it would he much
better that there should be, to certain
extent, realignment of the States in
the electoral colleges. But if this is not
posi- ble-if the Democrats must again
go to New York for leader, there is
no citizen of that State-no citizen OF
the United States on that side of the
Alleghanies so fit to be the Democratic
leader as Mr.. Cleveland. 1t is entirely
probable that his views of civil service
administration will be made as popular
with Democrats by Harrison's folly
and the reckless greed of Republican
politicians as his views of Tariff Re-
form are now. He has more honesty,
more courage, than any man New York
ever proposed for tie Presidency, and
if in 1892 the Democratic party needs a
New York leader it will naturally in
sist on him against David B. Hill or
any other ignorant intriguer among
the local politicians Of that State.
In 1886 Mr.. VanBuren of New York
defea ted General Harrison. In 1910
Harrison defeated Van Buren,. The
Democrats at once resolved to nomi-
nate and re-elect Van Buren, in 1874
The movement originated in st. Louis
as soon as Democratic defeat was an
nounced, and it was at once indorsed
by Senator Benton, who in a letter he
wrote on the subject pointed out the
fact that "the Democratic party had
won victory twice before after it's only
two national defeats by adopting at
once the candidate with whom it had
suffered reverse" Mr.. Van Buren
was thus at once accepted as the party
candidate for 1874. ami no doubt of the
advisa blity of renominating him was
entertained until within a few weeks
of the convention, when he wrote his
letter against the admission Of Texas
letter which introduced the first
Dark Horse" into American politics
and made James K. Polk the nominee
and the President.
If it We're only a question of the pop
ular vote, the party wouli insist on
Mr.. Cleveland more naturally than on
any other leader, for he uuIted it both
in 1884 and in 1888 more compactly
than it had been united since 1856. He
is to-day the strongest man with the
people in either party, and if circum-
stances make it impossible to give the
West the nomination for Western
man, it will prefer him to any other
Eastern Democrat.-Repubi
