endurance. To act intelligently on this
subject would require degree of know
edge on the part of the Representative i'm
possible of attainment under tho practical
workISgs of our Government.
Tuiltustrate: How can the Representative
from Maine know what districts would be
proper for the people Of the State of Texas
or of California, or indeed of any State in the
Union? There are 81 counties now in the
eleventh Texas district, represented by the
Hon. Sam'l W. T. Lsnham. Ii this bill
becomes law, each member voting fo it
gives his sanction and approval to that dis
trict as now coustituted-he approves the
placing of Young County in that district
and not in another, of Andrews, of Dawson,
etc. Does any member of the present
House, except perhaps the Texas delega-
ton, know anything about the propriety of
such district. or why all of ihese counties
should be in the eleventh district and not
some Of them in the tenth, or sixth Or first
districts? Or take the sixth Massachusetts
district as now constituted, composed as 1t
is (as seen in the Congressional Directory
of certain wards in the city of Boston and
certain towns in the counties of Middlesex
and Essex, and the other Massachusetts dis
tricts contiguous thereto.

House that can justify their approval of
these districts by legislative enactment by
Congress as provided in this bill, when few
of them have ever trod the soil of that an
cient Commonwealth, know little or moth
ing of the geography of the State, the habits
of those particular people, the contiguity of
the different wards of the city of Boston, or
the location of the towns in the different
counties? Is it not absurd to say that the
Representatives from all the States of the
Union can more wisely aud more justly
frame Congressional districts for that State
than the legislature of Massachusetts can
for themselves?
Having considered some of the objections
to the bill on the score of inexpediency, We
come now to the question Of the power of
Congress over this subject.
Mr.. Tucker then discusses with much
force and clearness the constitutional aspect
of the question, and in support of his views
quotes some of the highest authorities, in.
Guiding John Jay and James Madison. We

A BACHELORS LOVE SONG.

My bachelors den Is a queer old pen,
In the midst of a city's din,
Overlooking the tide that goes ebbing out
And the flow that comes rushing In.
'Tis cheerful and bright. It's home to me-
A quiet and peaceful place
Tho it ne'er knew the warmth of a womans
heart
Nor the light of q woman's face.
l sit In the dusk as the sun goes down
And smok in a dreamful way,
And gaze at the paintings that hang on the
wall
The faces and friends far away.
One is the face of fBir young girl,
AS bright as the morning skies,
Who smiles at me ever with angels love
From the depths of her dark blue eyes.
She was my first, my only love;
Forget her never can.
Her love has followed me all thro life,
And made me a better man.
Hers are the lips first tenderly Kissed
With love as deep as the sea;
And the last lips kissed. as bade home fare
well,
Were the lips that are smiling at me.
All, mother. my love for you never grew dim
Thro the long years of toll and unrest,
And love you to-day as did long ago.

About two years ago, after suffering
for nearly two years from rheumatic
gout, being able to walk only with great
discomfort, and having tried various
remedies, including mineral waters,
without relief, l saw by an ADVERTISE
ment in a Chicago paper that man had
been relieved of this distressing COM
plant, after long suffering, by taking
Ayers Sarsaparilla. I then decided to
make trial of this medicine, and took
it regularly for eight months. am
pleased to say that it effected COM
plete cure, and that have since had no
return of the disease"
Mrs. L. A. Stark, Nashua, N. H,
writes: "One year ago 1 was taken i'll
with rheumatism, being confined to my

sickness very much debilitated, with no
appetite, and my system disordered in
every way. I commenced to use Ayers
Sarsaparilla and began to improve at
once, gaining in strength and soon re-
covering my usual health 1 cannot say
too much in praise of this well-lnown
medicine"
fI have taken a great deal of medi-
cine, but nothing has done me so
much good as Ayers Sarsaparilla. 1

of their newly acquired power. No State
would be exempt from their Vaccinations.
And the remotest corners of the country
would be biennially secured as with some
powerful telescope from the dome of the
Capitol, in an effort to determine where large
majorit;es could be safely divided among
weaker neghbors, and where the weak
might be made strong in the faith. Couu-
ties, magisteral districts, cities, towns, and
villages would be ruthlessly divided, against
the wishes of the people, (the victims of the
change,l for partisan purposes. Instead of
legitimate Congressional legislation for the
benefit of the whole people, we might con-
fdently expect illegitimate Congressional
conspiracies against the rights and will of
the people. Statesmen would give place
to political conspirators in the halls of Con-
gress, and statecraft to political jugglery,
and our whole Federal Government would
at once become the just object of contemps
in the eyes Of the American peop'e and OF
the world.
Let us examine, briefly, some of the pro-
visions of this bill in detail. The first Sec
tion of tho bill, which requires '.that the
most populous district IN such [each] State
shall not have more than fifteen thousand
Inhabitants in excess of the population of
the least populous, is in itself Undoubtedly
desirable, but to conform to that require
ment in all cases would necessitate the un.
natural division of counties, cities, and vii
lagos, aud, the division of interests, which
if separated would be powerless, but, unit
ed, might be controlling. The States them
selves can always better be relied upon to
do what is best for their own people than
can the Representatives in Congress of
forty. two States, who know but little of
their people or surroundings.
The second section of the bill provides
And the legislature of each State elected next
after such apportioument by Congress shall re-
district each State under the restrictions and
regulations as to population and territory
herein nbefore provided.

In the States in which the Repub-

chance of dominating, it is, ON the
whole, as compared with its antagon-
list party, made up of the best elements

does it come about-can any one ex-
plain it on any known principle Of
human nature that on the principal
questions on which the two parties
stand in opposition or in contrast, the
COURSE of the Republican Party is the
more offensive to the known and rec

Attorney General P. W. Hardin
showed very bad temper Saturday
because Mr.. Langley, the Republican
member from Floyd, insisted upon in
vestigating him while everybody else
is being investigated. A resolution
was offered to that effect early in the
session and was again renewed last
week. The last times Mr.. Langley
blew in the Attorney Generals muz-
zle he found him loaded and the
discharge was terrific. Itcame in the
shape of response to the House reso-
luton and created sensation. Gen.
Hardin roundly abused the resolution,
attributing the authorship to ignor-
ance Of the law and to malice on the
part of the mover of it. He referred
to the fact that he had prosecuted
breach of promise suit against Mr.
Langley, and expressed the hope that
Mr.. Langley would spare the time
from indulging his mania for investi-
cation to pay the unsatisfed judg-
ment of $500 against him in that
case. He denied that he had ever
employed attorneys to assist him at
the public expense and stated that
the Governor had only done so twice
in eleven years and then When cases
were pending in different courts at the
same time. The response was Of such
a scathing and offensive character
that it created sympathy for Langley
and was taken somewhat as an affront
to the whole House, since the resolu-
ton was adopted unanimously. Lang
ley is of course very much wrought up
over the matter and says he must have
an apology. He is young fellow of
about twenty-six years of age and is
the recognized leader of the fifteen
Republicans in the House. Gen.
Hardin's response was evidently in
tended to be insulting to him and the
course of the Attorney General will
not be approved by fair-minded and
right-thinking men. At this distance
it looks as If Gen. Hardin had gone off
half-cocked.

On civil service reform the practical
record of neither party is immaculate.
Both parties have made public profess
sions of adhesion to the principles OF
this reform, and both have fallen short
of their professions under the tempta-
tons of power. Mr.. Cleveland's adj
ministration, in its later months, lapsed
painfully from tho resolute faithful
ness with which itbegan. But at its
worst estate, his administration was
like the driven snow in comparison
with the shameful corruption with
which the post-olfice patronage" has
been handled by those two eminent
Presbyterian elders, Mr.. Harrison and
Mr.. Wannamaker, from the moment
that they gripped the reins. Curious,
isn't it, that "the party of the saloon
keepers and the ballot-box suffers"
should have given us, in this respect,
a comparatively honest administration;
while "the party of the elders and
deacons," in defiance of its formal
pledges and of the solemn attestations
of its presidential candidate on the
floor of the Senate, should so have re-
newed the shame of the worst days of
the republicl No punctiliousness in
family prayers, not a lifetime of labor
in Sunday school, can undo or outdo
one hundredth part of the dcmorali
zation that has been wrought by this
treachery to public duty.-Leonard

THE CRAFT.

VIII H. Evans, formerly editor Of
the Princeton Banner, has moved to
Louisville to live.
The Campbell County Neirs, pub
lished at Alexandria, by U. S. Dunn,
is one OF the newest. An editor with
name like that ought to succeed in
business.
w. S. Sterrette, late editor of the
Whitesville, KY, Colonel, is now con-
nected with the Comier-JomndL. He
! is editing the telegraph matter for that
paper and, in his odd momelts, is
writing some very good verses for the
Times.
The Franklin Faporite had a dis
tribution of presents Saturday. The
Breckenridge NeUs also announces
that it will distribute prizes among its
subscribers this year. The KENTucK-
IAN tried this plan for several years
and found the scheme to be a losing
Investment.
II is no idle waste of words to say
that the Southern Progress, just stait
ed at Louisville, is the most appro-
priately named paper in Kentucky.
1t is three-column pamphlet of 2i
pages, printed on tinted book paper
and is complete index to the pro-
gress of the State. Several pages are
filed with the records of building,
planning and improving compiled
for each monthly issue.
We observe in the bright editorial
columns of the Covington Common
,ceaHh the word "athloplorifcent."
This is a neat word, "a shade too lengthy |
in some of its proportions, perhaps,
but, at the same time, it is a good,
safe word. Persons desiring to know
what it means will please not annoy
us with questions until after the Gen
eral Assembly has gone home. We
are too busy to talk just Frank
