MERELY RELATIVE FIGURES.


The st. Cloud Times criticises the
numerical basis upon which the GLOBE
illustrated last Monday morning the in-
equalities in legislative representation
in the state at the present time. These
criticisms are based upon erroneous as
sumptions. The GLOBES estimate of
present population in the Fifth district
was based upon the vote of 1888 and the
general numeral 4. No attempt was
made to give the actual population, since
no absolutely accurate census of Min
nesota has been had since 1880. The
state census of 1885 is regarded with
suspicion, and it is manifestly certain
then land the senate feels so) that only
by the vote of 1888 can a fair basis for
reapportionment be had, and the
numeral gives to the entire Fifth dis
trict as near her just increase of
population as anything yet devised.
The GLOBE did not seek to give
actual population, but to approximate in
round numbers. and so it stated. In
StearnS county the vote of 1884 was 4, 4,4S0;
in 1856, 5,2S2, aud in 1888. 7,072. The
vi tUC al va COliOCI-
vative and safe fgure) of the county was
then 1900 in 1884; 21,0OO in 1886, and
$1,000 in 1888. The 2S,00O of the legisla-
tive manual for 1856 is based upon the
same data there for Hennepin. Ramsey
or any of the other larger counties of
the state. The GLOBE table actually
shows, when this is understood, that
Stearns county has materially gained in
population for the last tour years, just
as in the case of Renville, Hubbard.
Carlton, st. Louis, Cass, Polk, Kittson,
Beltrami, ETC., total gain of $4,000
population is shown since 1856. The
GLOBES figures were for relative pur-
pose and to show glaring evils; not
to enumerate every man, woman and
child in any section of the state. 1t is
unquestionably true that any reappor-
tionment that may be made will contain
features of injustice, and the object is
to reduce the inequalities to the mini
mum. Stearns county has made great
population record. beyond question. and
there was no intention of detracting
from it, one jot or title.

ONE of the French members of the
Quebec parliament lately played the
small boy with resolution, asking
what the Dominion authorities had in
mind in regard to the BUTTERwoRTH
annexation resolutions. He was per-
haps related to that ancient maiden
lady who used to weep so bitterly and
explained that her tears were caused by
the thought that she might sometime
get married and have son who would
fall into the fire and burn himself. 1t

SOME of the papers are exercising
their ingenuity in drawing parallels be-

HIT BY A COINCIDENCE.

Man with Wooden Log Meets the
Head of IL Sympathetic Family.
The owner of a place on Second

and passed the time O. day and finally
said:

Very we'll; just leave your leg here
and I'll take care of it"
The wooden substitute was I'M
strapped and handed over, and the
cripple used the crutch to help himself
down the alley. Five minutes later he
rang the door-bell of house around
the avenue, to have it opened by the
man he had seen at the barn.
"W-wha-what!'' he gasped in as
constituent.
Very sympathetic family lives
here!" quietly replied the other. "You
seem to have met with sad loss, and
I'm anxious to help you. Here is a
wooden leg which may fit you.
The leg was handed over, the man
sat down on the steps and strapped
it on, and as he got up and stumped
