field for the exercise of every i'm

The only state that has been abso-

The only state that has been abso-
lutely uniform in its congressional
representation is Rhode Island. 1t
had two members under the first
census and the same number ever
since. 1t is bound to remain in the
same category another ten years.
Its population in 1880 was 276,531,
and it is now $4,000. This is a
variation which precludes change,
whatever basis OF representation
may be adopted. Delaware has al
ways just had one, except that un-
der the third census it had two.
These are the only constant quanti-
ties in the entire category.

A rough count by the census bu.
reau places the total population of
the United States at 64,000,000, and
the general impression at Washing
ton is that under the next Congress.
ional spportionment the basis of
representation will be fixed at 49,
600 and that the membership of the
House of Representatives will be
355. In this event the electoral
college will have 443 members, an
increase of 40. While the West has
gained some strength in the electo-
raj college, the presidential election
two years hence will be decided as
in the past years by the doubtful
states, New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut. New York, it is be-
lieved, will lose Congressman, but
New Jersey will gain one. The
Democrats are also sure to gain
Congressman in Missouri, Arkan-
sas and Texas, and perhaps in one
or two other Southern States.

A negro women, who had proba-

The justice proved by his energy

to do so, and she determined to
sweeten the torture as much IS pos
sible. She entered the Justice
Office with a big shot bag in her
hand. 1t was as much as she could
do to carry it. Throwing it on the
table, she said insolently: ''There's
your money; now give me a re-
ceipt." The Justice opened the bag
and looked within. A mass of cop
pers confronted him. The woman
swore that she wouldn't bother con-
verting it into larger coin and so
the Justice began the weary job of
counting. 1t took him a halt hour
to prove that there were exactly
1000 pennies in the bag. Then he

POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY.

Some men are born politicians,
some achieve political fame, and
some have Offices thrust upon them.
The first and last classes are not as
numerous as great many suppose, or
as a great many would have US sup
pose.
Politics is hard work, aud the sue
ce,sful, and often the unsuccessful,
politician does an amount of rustic
ing around that would surprise and
discourage those who think politics
an easy and genteel way of making
living. The politician has got to
know everybody and all his rela-
tives, and who are his friends and
enemies. He has got to know Jim
Jones pet weakness and Bill
Smiths sore spot. He has to have a
memory longer than the oldest in
habitant. He has to know when to
be silent and when to speak, and
with all these requirements he some
tlUleS getS leu.
There are some men who 90 into
politics for fun, anu some who 90 in
to the business for profit. The fell
low who gees in for fun generally
makes the most out of it, butt costs
him the most money.
There are more little surprises in
politics than there is in a woman's
whims, and they are continually be-
ing sprung ON you. You may think
you know all about it when you 20
to bed, and next morning you may
even doubt your identity. Politics
is a good deal like chemlcals-let an
unknown quantity get mixed up in
them and there's apt to be an ex-
plosion that knocks all your careful
ly prepared plans into chaotic ruin.
Politics as discussed in "a corner
grocery is an innocent and aesthetic
amusement but politics as practic-
ed by professional, has in it all the
elements Of dynamite bomb, land is
50 akin to crime that it hugs the
outside walls OF the penitentiary.
The man who goes into politics
and stays there any length of time
OF necessity becomes something of a
philosopher. He learns that the
country will not be totally ruined il
his candidacy is not successful, and
there will be so little change that in
few months the people will forget
that there has ever been an election.
He learns by sad experience that
the election of his candidate Isl Of
little pecuniary profit to him, and
that an Office holder has a wonder
fully short memory. He learns to
accept defeat gracefully, and does
not fool away his time abusing the
voters after an election. In short, he
learns to look upon politics as a
game that two can play at. And
when he gets into the happy frame
of mind, he is the most happy of be.

A BIG TINE At R'cEvIlLE-cLAss EXAM.
Na,I0Ns AND PICNIC.


Athens Post, August /.
Last Saturday was. a big day in
Riceville. In fact something in the
way of a crowd and a good time
such as she has never had before in
years.
The evening before the train
brought in several persons from a
distance and next.morning the same
thing was repeated. The people
from the surrounding country came
from different directions, some com
ing as far as fifteen miles, until the
town was full of people.
The gathering was composed of
the scholars of the cutting schools
in the lower part of McMinn coun-
ty and especially at Riceville.
About halt past nine o'clock the
exercises we're opened in a large
store room which was we'll filled by
the scholars present.
The first work consisted of a care
full class examination conducted by
}. X. Doran, general manager of
the National Garment Cutting
company. The class stood a good
examination, both in the practical
working of the Garment Cutter as
we'll as In the theory of the work.
After the examination was dinner.
Well we got too tull of the good
things of this life to do justice to
this part of our subject but of all
the clever people ON earth, East
Tennessee has the cleverest, and if
there is any difference the Riceville
people come in first of these, and
from what was seen there a young
man if hunting for wife would do
much worse by going father.
The tables were loaded down with
choice food prepared in the best
possible manner, which was partak-
en- of heartily and to which all were
welcomed.
After dinner the class was photo
graphed by one OF our Athens artist.
The workers representing the
Garment Cutter company, together
with their teams, were grouped and
photographed.
The exercises closed by a short
talk from Mr. Doran, who had to
hurry the work as he desired to re-
turn to Knoxville that evening.
Taking it all in all it was a day
of pleasure as we'll as profit to those
present, and the people as we'll as
the Natinal Garment Cutter compa-
ny are entitled to great credit for
the enterprising manner in when
everything was conducted.
A word in regard to the workers
handling this cutter IN this part of
of the country will not be out of
place at this time. The company
is represented by twelve or fifteen
ladies and gentlemen of good talent
end we'll trained to this special line
of work.
The majority of the people are
east Tennesseeans and are an honor
as we'll as a benefit to their country.
The division manager, Mr.. ]. ".
Slimp, is q young man of business
ability and full of energy andpluck.
He is ably assisted by some Of the
incest kind of people who are
an honor both to themselves and
the country as well as the grand in
yention which they so ably repre-
sent.

A Good Entertainment.

The minstrel entertainment given by the
Order of Railway Telegraphers on Satur-
day evening was enjoyed by large audi
ence, almost every seat in Concert Hall
being occupied. The first part, consisting
of songs, jokes and the very funny burlesque
"Fhe Rival Dime Museum" was very good
fully equal to that given by many profess
sional companies. George Kline, in his
specially, "Did You Notice IT," was funny,
and his baton and torch manipulations
were very good. Thomas Rooney, in lis
clogs, reels and iigs was immense, and was
recalled several times before the audience
would be satisfied. The German dialect
comedian e. L. Newhart, appeared in his
very laughable songs, recitations and say
ings, and succeeded in putting everybody
in a very good humoT. Frank Kauffuan's
cornet solo was one Of the gems of the per-
formapce. Prof. "Killars" (Shindel)
sleight of hand performance was very cred
liable for an amateur, some Of his tricks
being cleYerlY executed. The banjo duet
of Sandherr and Heine was much enjoyed,
and the song and dance act 1.-THE Mauch

and Shindel was literally applauded. The
performance concluded with the farce THE
