m Emergency. .,
During the late strike on the New York
Central Railroad, the militia were ordered
to be In readiness In case Of q riot, but they
were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the troops
were not TO be called upon except in case OF
an emergency. The emergency had not
arisen, therefore they would not be ordered
'ut. He remarked that this was the first
great strike with which he had had ex-
perience, and he did not propose to lose his
head, the only point at which there had
been serious Trouble. was at Syracuse, did
there Q deppty-sherik had lost his head and
preclpitated an encounter.
The strike continued several weeks, and
there was riotous action at various points
along the road, but the civil authorities
were able TO cope with 1t without calling on
the militia.
The test Of a mans real ability comes when
an emergency arises which makes a hasty
call on his good judgment and discretion.
The man who retains his presence Of mind,
maintains his equipoise and exercises sound
discretion a. such critical iuncturos, Ia to
bs relied on ahd will be put to the front.
Men with level heads have the staying

For some years past the foreign repre-
sentation Of the United States has been
by no means as efficient as 1t is to-day.
The contrast between MI. Cleveland's
Ministers of foreign courts and Mr..
Harrison's is painfully unfavorable to
the former. Mr.. Reid at Paris is q
brilliant success, whereas Mr.. McLane
was n n~onentity, both socially and in
diplomacy. The present Minister is
popular in Paris, is influential with the
Government, and is certain to succeed
in securing a reversal of the French
policy as regards American pork. Mr..
William Walter Phelps, in like manner,
is a success at Berlin where Mr.. Pendle.
ton was q practical failure. The New
Jersey statesman has already been able
to advance American interests, and he
is one OF the ''somebodies" OF the Ger.
man capital. Colonel Fred Grant, at
Vienna, is incomparably superior as a
representative of our country to old
General Lawton, of Georgia, who drew
the salary and lurked in ~obscurity,
under the Cleveland Administration.
| Mr.. Lincoln, at London, is not so much
of a ~hobnobber with the aristocracy as
the Phelps whom Cleveland appointed
to England was, but surely it will not
be claimed that he Is less successful in
conserving American intnrests. And

Tho Democratic press OF tho country
should recall the old proverb about
counting chickens before they are
patched. Some OF them, assuming that
the Democrats Will have a majority in
the next House, are getting excited,
and are arguing with much hnbecoming
heat that tho present Congress, at its
session the coming winter, should not
deal with the matter of apportionment,
but should delegate that pleasing duty
to the succeeding Congress,
In the first place. the House to be
elected this fall Ia by no means likely
to contain Il Democratic ma ,rityl but
whether it will or not, The apportioh-
meut will be made this winter, by the
present Congress, for the very sufficient
reason that it is tho duty of Congress to
do this as soon as may be conveniently
after the census is taken. There is a
grotesqucrie peculiarly Bourbonish in
the position that the Republicans must
give the Democrats all the political adj
vantage possible in apportioning Repre-
s%cntatiyes in Congress for tho next ten
years. History fails to show any in.
of the kind in Democratic annals,
however.
In point OF fact there Is no way OF get
ting any particular advantage through
rCappurtionment, if it he honestly and
fairly done, as it will be by II Republican
Congress. The Democratic anxiety is
due TO the fact that the census shows
that the Republican States have grown
moro rapidly than the solidly Demo
cratic ones, and that population, prog
ross, wealth and enlightenment show
their greatest gains in localities in
which Republican sentiment is the
strongest. The Bourbons wish to mega
tive the advantage this legitimately
gives the Republican party, if possible,
by adopting the ratio which will give
the most Democratic Representatives,
and thus pcrpctuate for another ten
years the steadily waning power of the
solid South in National politics.
Our bourbon brethren, however, may
set it down as a fact that the present
Congress will perform the work of APP
portionmrnt, and that it will very like
ly be on the lines laid down in the Dun.
nell bill, now pending in the House.
This bill takes $50. 900 inhabitants as
the ratio for one Representatives; and
we give below a table which shows the
present representation of the several
States, the number of full ratios tc
which they would be entitled under this
bill, the fractions in excess Of full
ratios, and the number of Representa-.
tivos on the basis proposed:

In certain instances there have been ar.

THERE Is more Catarrh in this section of
the country than all other diseases put to-
gether, and until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great many
years doctors pronounced it a local disease,
and prescribed local remedies, and by con-
stantly falling to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and
therefore requires constitutional treatment
