The legislative complications in New
Hampshire grow partly out of the change in
the constitution of that State and partly out
OF the new United States census. Under
the old constitution every town containing
oOO inhabitants or more was entitled to one
representative to the legislature, and for
eacc additional 1900 to an additional represen-
tative 1t was also provided that contiguous
towns having less than GOO inhabitants each
might be classed together, so that each class
would send representative each year. In
case of Isolated towns OF less than 600 In
habitanls 1t was provided that each should
have occasional representation in the legisla-
ture, how often to be determined by the
legislature. The new constitution abolished
the classification of towns and provided that
each town of less than 600 inhabitants
should have occasional representation In
proportion to its population. 1t was made the
duty of the legislature to arrange the repre-
sentation fromthese towns. The legislature
at its last session undertook to do this, and
the Senate framed bill to that end, but 1t
failed to pass the House for lack of time.
The legislature not having fixed the repre-
sentation Of these towns. each one of them
elected a representative. 1t is the question of
the legal status of the representatives thus
elected-theif right to sit in the House
that constitutes one of the complications.
Another complication grows out of the
census. Under the constitution of the State
each town Of 600 inhabitants or more is en-
titled to one representative. If the excess
over eco equals 1900 in other words, if the
town has population of 1900 it is entitled to
two, and every additional 1900 entities the
town to one additional representative. Thus
town of 5000 inhabitants would have three,
of 1900 four, and SO on. Now some of the
cities and towns have gained sufficient pop
ulation in the last ten years to entitle them
to an additional representative. Towns and
cities which the census of 1890 showed had
gained sufficient population to entitle them
to an additional representative went ahead
and elected one. The status of these repre-
sentatives constitute the second of the COM
plications. The political complexion of the
legislature will be finally determined by the
decision In regard to the right of these two
classes of representatives to take part in the
organization of the House.

Fundamental Differences In the TWO
Parties.
[St. Louis Globe Democrat. /

lot.-AOulo 0IoDO OcmOcIdb
Thomas B. Reed. In his speech in Cham
paign, ILL.,. uttered bit of philosophy which
deserves to be preserved. "If a man be-
lieves that all the wisdom of this world died
With his forefathers he will be Democrat"
said the Speaker: 'If man sees before him
world which is open to greater and greater
prosperity he will be Republican" Here is
distinction which goes to the foundation of
things. The Democrat always looks back
ward; the Republican looks forward. Moth
ing In the future, according to the Democrat,
can be as noble or as beneficial as what was
had in the past; the future, in all essential
particulars. says the Republican, can be
made, shall be made greater and better than
the past. While the one, In his views and
purposes, seems to think that this is 1926 or
1880. the other is aware that the country is in
the closing years Of the century, and he in
telligentIy grasps the needs of the age and
prepares to meet and grapple with the de-
mands of the new age which Is about to be-
gin. Whoever follows the career of the two
parties will find that the differences here out
lined are fundamental and persistent.
In the third of a century which has passed
since the foundation of the Republican party
the democracy has never had policy which
It dared to openly and honestly present.
While Its Southern section advocated one
method of administration its Northern sec
ton desired, or imagined it desired, some
thing else. This lack of unity and cohesion
has fatally handicapped the party in its con-
fiict with its opponent. 1t has been and is
weak, shutting and cowardly. At no time
since the war when the Democracy was in
control of Congress or the Presidency did it
fairly or squarely tell the people what it
meant to do do or what it would like to do.
When out of power it is noisy and obstruc-
tive; when in power 1t is va ,iHitating, timid
and inefficient 1t has never risen to the
level of its opportunities honestly or earnest
ly. Every trust which the people have ever
reposed in 1t has been basely and shameless
ly betrayed. 1t has never done lanything in
the past quarter of century to justify such
confidence as may have been placed in it.
The man who puts any reliance lin such
promises as the Democracy makes this year,
or who imagines that it could or would give
the country better government than the
Republicans have been providing, disregard
the canons of common sense and the lessons
of experience.

In the course of an article on the Mckinley
tariff bill last week the Argus said:

tariff bill last week the Argus said:
Take the sugar schedule in the Mckinley bill !;
carefully read its provisions and you Will find that
instead OF giving the consumers free sugar it prac
ideally taxes them two cents pound m re for this
commodity for the free Importation law relates
only TO unrefned sugars and not to such as are
used on the family table.
The PRESS pointed out that the Mckinley
bill instead of practically" or otherwise in
creasing the duty on sugars which are used
on the table two cents pound, reduced the
duty from three cents to one half a cent
pound. To this statement the Argus yester-
day replied as follows:
But, the PRESS may say, on or after the date
Just mentioned The duty on sugars above No. 20
Dutcn Standard Is reduced from 312 cents
pound to one-half cent pound, and If the Trust
shall fall TO make the proper reduction IN price to
cons umerS, why Well import these sugars directly
from foreign r. fineries and let the Trust sugars
alone. This sonnIs well until one reflects that
this apparent hoid on the Trust is practically
done away with by the provision in the McKin ey
bill giving to producers of sugar In this country
bounty OF two cents pound; and this b lunty,
Bear N mn MIND must be paid by the people directly
government bounty of two cents pound and you
July lst 1879 OF 212 cents pound.
Precisely what the Argus means to say is
somewhat obscure, but it appears to take
the ground that the reduction of the tariff ON
sugar will be Offset by the bounty to the
Louisiana sugar growers, In other words,
that what consumers save in one way will
be lost In another In 1888 the number of
pounds of sugar consumed in this country
was 1888, 1914, 600. OF this amount
379.62S,0o0 pounds. or only about one eighth,
was produced in the United States. The
uty which was paid by the consumers
for in this case the duty was
unquestionably tax-amounted to about
S56,000,000. At the same time the price of
domestic sugar was raised by the amount of
duty on the imported sugar. so the consumers
paid for domestic sugar 81, 100000 more than
itwould have cost them if there had been no
duty on the foreign product Thus the total
amount paid by the consumers on account
OF the duty on foreign sugar and the increase
Of price on the domestic was in the neigh
bcrhood of $64,000.000. The duty on the
foreign product is thrown off by the McKin-
ley bill, and of couree the effect of that will
be to compel the sale Of the domestic prod
uct at the same price as the foreign. But to
enable the domestic producer to continue
the raising of sugar bounty of two cents a
pound is afforded him. On the basis of the
product of 1888 this will cost the people
little over 100000 So the account stands
thus: $64,oOO,0OO reduction by reason of the
duty offset by ,$7,OOO00O, the amount of the
b-unty, net reduction Of $57, 100000. Yet in
spite of these facts the Argus claims that the
Mckinley bill taxes the consumer two cents
pound more for his sugar than the old bill.
we are still in doubt whether our contem-
porary is malicious or only stupid.

Feminine Grace in Politics.

A terrible conflict was the last election
nd not unlike the Eruption of race of un

prominent and popular resident of the
county, declared that Mrs. Baxter was dis

apparently left the campaign to take care of

majority was rolled up for all the Republican

the Republican party had been fooled by
mrs Baxter. She ran ahead of her ticket in
