In the state legislatures and III con-.
gress representation is accorded to popu-
lation, aud if cities and towns, for any
reason, cannot npportion their repre-
sentation in the same manner, then COM
mon justice demands that they be dis
tricted in such way IS to accomplish the
same purpose. No man can contend
that 25t people or BOG people are entitled
to an equal representation with 7!2 peo-
pie, or 629 people, or 1908 people-there
is nothing of fairness or justice In such
superintendent. If 254 people in one
ward are entitled to two aldermen, then
S92 people ore entitled 10 seven and three
twelfths aldermen and 562 people are en-
titled 10 four and ifty-four-one hundred
aud twenty-niuths aldermen. And if
SOC people are entitled to two aldermen,
then 1908 people are entitled to about six
aldermen.
If Fort Worth is to be fairly and justly
represented the city should be redis-
tricted. AS the wards are now con-
stituted, a portion, and large portion
of the First, Second aud Third wards are
virtually without voice in municipal
legislation.

EALTER ScnTT,S DIZZY

Portions of Walter Scott's diary COW
lately been permitted to see the light
The wonder is they were SO long hidden
away. seeing how faithfully they portray
the nobleness Of soul strength of charac-
ter and patient, accomplishing honesty
of purpose of that truly great mau.
After he had passed middle life, and
was about to throw aside his pen and de-
vote himself to his family. his friends
aud the pleasures of life. he awaked one
day to the startling and overpowering
realty that by the unexpected failure of
terested, he was involved in debt OF
$3.50 ,0O0-an appalling sum in those days.
Instead Of beng as he supposed wealthy
and independent, he was ruined, and
pauper, with an enormous debt hanging
over him besides, to follow him as
dreadful nightmare wherever he might
GO The world TO be sure, has long been
acquainted with the fact of his financial
troubles, and of his eventual success In
surrounding them all, and dying SOL
vent citizen.
But until the publication of this be-
lated diary in which the poet poured cut
his soul freely in his own cham5e in the
silent watches of the night, and recorded
an honest ana manly purpose to meet his
obligations unfinchinglv, and pay them
if possible to the last penny, the pub
lie knew but little or nothing
of the struggles and trials endured by
him IN wrestling with poverty, and all
the while throwing off book after book
of those captivating stories that still in
struct and entertain thousands. By
industry. he accomplished the herculean
task before him in seven years, and had
the rare satisfaction of standing before
the world a free man. made SO by his
own effort, his own brains and genius.
His distinction is that where another
would have fled from his creditors, or
sought to compromise al q few pennies
in the pound, he faced the terrible re-
sponsibility and with grim but honest de-
termination resolved to wipe it out, as
he did. Such integrity is really and
truly chival-ic, and it may be added q
tritie rare as men are nowadays, or may
be in Scott days.
HIS task done, the hero exhausted by
his labors, and no longer able to enjoy
the fruits of his hard-earned victory,
sank peacefully and smilingly into the
arms of death, beloved by his own and
admired by all peoples.

HARRISON'S MESSAGE.

What Harrison Expects.
Special 10 the Gazette.

Special 10 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON Noy. 22.-The presi-
dent will send in strong message this
year with the hope of inspiring congress
to complete the work mapped out when
the session began. 1t will be fiat of
the administration and will call to arms
all the laggards and picket men who
have been skirmiShing on the outside.
Harrison is actually fool enough to ex-
pect denomination and hence his agrees
sive message.
AN UNDERSTANDING.
1t is said on good authority there is
perfect understanding between Blaine
and HARRISON regarding the presidential
nomination. If there is an irresist able
demand for Blaine aud his nomination is
regarded rs salvation to the party, Har-
ris u will give way to his premier. If,
however, Harrison is the available man,
then the Blaine forces ill go TO the con-
ven;ion aud vote for Harrison.
Mcmillan of Tennessee will probably
be prominent candidate for speaker,
AMI he is considered IL very strong rival
of Crisp AMI Mills. He is good parlia-
mentarian, is firm and bold, but con-
sentative and just and is in perfect
accord with his party associates on all
questions.
FREE COINAGE.
Reed will have au important appoint
ment to make this session TO fill the
vacant Craftsmanship Of the silver COIN
age committee, occasioned by Conger's
appointment as minister to Brazil. The
silver Republicans will try to force the
passage of a free coinage bill. Wickbam
of OHIO is the second man and is entitled
TO the place, but he is rather mild man
and leans to free coinage. which is OBJ
jectionable to the speaker. The COM
mittee is evenly divided now, there being
six free coinage and six anti-free coin
age. The new members may hold the
balance of power in the committee and
have q powerful influence for or against
free coinage. A conference of the free
COINAGE senators will be held this week,
when plan of campaign will be- formu-
lated. These men and others be-
lieve that free coinage bill will bring
into the Republican lines again Illinois,
Wisconsin, Michigan, Nebraska and
Kansas, which were recently los. to the
e. o. p. Senator Jones says he has no
doubt whatever that free coinage bill
will lie passed this session.

this envelope contained 500 bill. If
Mr.. Mills isspeaking for money this ls Il
small return. ANY charlatan of noto-
riety gets more, and if he bargained
beforehand, he has illustrious COM
pany and is worse trader than men
sweet with the odor of sanclity, and

fact is, that papers Of this stripe since

The Harvards Defeat the Yales.

/
| SPRINGFIELD, MASS, Nov. 22.-Har-
wards eleven defeated the Yale team
| here this afternoon by score of IL to 6
in one of the most brilliant games in the
! history of football. Both teams played
! like ciock-wOrk, and for the first half
neither we're able to score, though Yale
was the aggressor throughout, with q
strong wind in her favor. In the second
half when the teams changed sides Hur-
ward forced the fighting winning her touch
downs by Lake aud Dean. In the first
part of it the Yale fu..,ht like fiends,
but the Harvard's doggei defense held
them down to one touch down scored by
McClung. This part of the game was by
far the most brilliant of the day. The
feature OF the game was the brilliant
puntins by the backs. that of Back Traf-
ford being much more effective than the
attempts of Backs Morrison and Nc
Chung, and indeed the saving element of
the Harvard defense
The loss of Mcbride, who was every
bit Us good as Trafford at puntIng in the
last years game, was deeply felt by
Yale to-day.
The crowd that gathered on Hampden
park was greater than that of last year,
which was reckoned at from Is, 900 to
20 900.
Yale and Harvard cheers were kept up
without cessation from the start to the
finish. and the enthusiasm when Har-
ward scored her first touch down was
something unheard of.
The Cambridge men Rugged each
other Unfortunately, and men and
women jumped up and down upon their
seats till the safety of the temporary
grand stand was imperilled, even l25
policemen were "embraced, - and their
helmets smashed In the deilrium OF the
moment, and the whole performance
was repeated when the second touch
down came, for then the victory was
clinched
The Harvard boys marched through
the streets rejoicing, and red fire
blazed from the top of the grand stand
at the very moment time was called.
The referee aud umpire were Messrs.
George and Irvine Of Princeton.

SIZE WANTS TO BE BISHOP.

Miss Francis Willard is said to aspire
to a bshoprlc in the Methodist church.
A dignitary of that church, speaking
about her candidacy said that he knew
of nothing in the way of her becoming q
bishop, but the necessary number Of
votes in the general conference. The
question of admitting women as lay
delegates to that body has not yet been
determined in their favor, having been
referred by the last general conference
to local or district conferences for con-
sideration. II is not improbable, how
ever, that the matter will be decided in
their favor, after which 1t seems that
they will be eligible to all dignities en-
joyed by men. There are female preach
ers in other churches. Why should not
the Methodist church, which is one OF
the most progressive and wide-awake
of them all, distinguish itself in the
emancipation of women by making one
of them bishop? Miss Willard Is II
woman of uncommon brain power aud
force of character, and il she sets her
head TO be bishop, will probably sue
coed. These are great days for strong
minded women.

PARLIAMENT WEEK.
Ergland's Lawmakers to Reasonable on
tuesday - The QUESTION of
Leadership.
Speciai to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, Nov. 22.-From Australia
comes the statement that the Jesuits,
who up to the present have refused to
undergo the examinations prescribed for
teachers in the Australian public schools
have now decided to submit themsel yes
to these tests in order to qualify their
educational Institutions to rank as pub
lie schools.
Lord Salisbury and Count Hatzteidt,
German Ambassador, have brought to a
satisfactory conclusion negotiations for
the deliinitatiou of the Cameroons
Parliament will reconvsne on Tuesday
next and already large number of
members of parliament, including
Tories, Liberals and Nationalist are in
London preparing for the event.
Chamberlain, who arrived this week
from the United States, is not the only
person who was surprised at the recent
report that arrangements had been made
with Randolph Churchill to resume the
leadership of the house of commons.
Lord Randolph himself was yet more as
tonished. No offer of the sort has been
made to him. Ii is true, however, that
the minsterialists are eager 20 see him
once more doing their work in the
boroughs OF the country. They know
that Balfour's speeches in Ireland are
not of a winning sort.
Tory paper to-day tells the chief
secretary for Ireland with great plain
ness that the next election will not turn
upon the details of his administration in
ireland, but upon its character, as u
whole. with its results and the alterns-
tive presented by the Liberal party.
In the pI imary work of the session be-
fore Christmas the government ara
likely to be we'll supported by their
dwindling majority, The critical time
Will come afterwards when the Irish
land purchase bill is in committee and
the points of the tithes bill are subject to
the same sort of examination. There is
no reason 10 doubt that the government
are preparing ways and means for free
education, or that the measures will be
referred to in the speech from the
throne. But the matter Of public control
in the proposals is not spoken
OF with ontidence, and it Is said that
while determined upon the passing of
the Irish land purchase bill and the
tithes bill, the government will not OBJ
iect to postponement to the following
session, should that appear advisable OF
the educs tional matter.

BISHOP HARE of South Dakota has

Indians for the past ten years, and thinks
1t the wiser policy to let these Indians
dance their folly down. He believes
that any interference with their frenzy +,
which is jubilation over the prospective
coming OF Messiah to restore to them
their country, will be fraught with dis
astrous results. Dancing Indians may
be harmless, but the majority OF whites
agree with Mark Twain, that the best
