SUPPOSE,

Suppose that the present Congress
shall pass an act requiring The next
Congress TO b" elected in precisely the
same districts in which the present
congressman were chosen. regardless
OF any new apportiOnmrnts made by
the States since the last Congressional
election, where will the regul ton OF
Congressional districts by Congress
stop? Suppose that the right Of Con-
gress to confine the election OF Con-
gressmen to any particular State ap-
portionments Is once established, viii
it not logically involve the right of
Congress to set aside any existing ap-
portionment, in defiance Of the laws OF
State, as partisan interests may die
tate?
Suppose that Congress shall
this year establish the precedent of
overriding State appOrtionment laws,
will it require any strained cOnstruc-
Congressional appointments in every
State aud to change them as often as
party interests shall demand?
Suppose that the present Congress
shall assert the power Of Congress
over Congressional districts in disre-
gard Of State laws, what Is there to
hinder Congress from declaring that
States which are safe for the party of
power shall elect Congressman by
general ticket and that adverse States
shall elect by districts as Congress
shall create them?.
AS all violent partisan legislation
is sure to become dangerous prece-
dent to plague the party that creates
it, it might he well for some of the cool
headed party leaders of the present
Congress to count the probable cost
before rushing hlindIy into revolution
airy methods. The swift mutations of
American politics should be an admo-
milton against violent or revolutionary
partisan domination; but, thus far,
the majority party of the present Con-
gress seems TO be utterly iusensible of
all the violent popular rebukes against
violent power in past.-Phiiddetphia

The War on the Farmer.

An article on another page which
shows the past and present condition
of farming in New Jersey is worthy of
careful attention ny the farmers of
every State in tine Union. What pro-
lection has done for that State it will
do for every State in the .Union-if it
| be given sufficient time.
Between 1850 and 1860 the assessed
| value of the State increased $40 900 =
900. OF this $50, 900 900 was caused by
the increased value of the farms and
Sc, 900, 900 more by the increased value
of the live stock. The share of the
| farmers in this increase of wealth was
$66, O0O, 900, or So per cent.
Between 1860 and 1850 the ass, ssed
value of the State increased S276 ,000.-
| 600, aud tie farmers share of this was
S., 900 900, or 3 per cent.
Between 1880 and 1890 the assessed
value of the State Increased S27G, OO0,-
900, and the farmers share OF this " as
nothing.
In 1880 the farmers We're receiving
less for the products of their farms than
in 1860. In 1890 they received less
| than in 1880.
The average value of the product of
each farm in 1850 was 81 124; in 1880
it was only Ss6,.
The farmers of New Jersey, deprived
of foreign market, had been confined
| by law since 1862 exclusively 10 the
"home market"-the best home mar
| ket any farmer could hope for-and
this is the natural and logical result

An 0h1Q Idea.

The Democrats of Ohio are not cou-
tent, it appears, with the gerrymander-
ing outrage which they recently perpe-
trated in the matter Of Congressional
districts, bui propose now to supple
ment il with IA measure still more des-
perate and reprehensible. one OF their
Senators has introduced n bill proVid-
ing for the election of Presidential cleo
tors in that State 10y Congressman ils-
tricts iustead of 10y the Safe az large.
Under SUCH plan as the districts have
lately been arranged: the Democrats
would surely elect fifteen of tie t"sn-
ty-three Presidential electors In 1867,
even though the State as IA state shouid
give a Republican IN jnr'ty. "a IL is
morally certain To This Is some
th:ag that has never before been All
tempted. and it presents "a grave ques-
ton of constitutional law. AL nrst
glance, it seems absurd to s1ppose that
partisan ajority in State i.eGisia
ture may thus practically cause the
electoral vote of such State to be gwen
60 Gne candidate for President when
majorits II the people vote Tor another;
aud it must De taat there is some way
to prevent mOckefy Ct that sort.
However, the Constitution simply eaTs
that each State shall appoint its allot-
tea number of electors "in such man
ner as the Legislature thereof may
direct" This is not yery explicit; but

But if ''the delinquent is soon 30 meet his
just reward" a. Mr.. AXE 50 confidently as
serts, where will a precedent be found for
such u contamination: In the Gates or
rather the Mercer case, no punishment was
inflicted. In the John Walker matter no
punative measures were adoped. In the
cases of the late collector of St. Francois
county; the late treasurer of st. Genevieve
county; the late treasurer of Madison cOun-
ty, the late treasurer of Reynolds county,
and the late treasurer of Washington county
not one OF the delinquents was made to suf-
fer for his defalcations. And So far we
know, i'll not one of the foregoing instances,
save that of Mr.. Harris, of Ste. Genevieye,
were any efforts made to bring the offenders
to justice.
Try again brother, and try hard. You
may be able to do better next time.-Fdrm-
ingtOn Democrat.
What we have to say in this cOnnec-
ton is not hy way of excuse or pallia-
ton; for a thief is a thief. be he Repub-
lican or Democrat. 1t is the gall of the
average Republican editor which de-
mands and receives our attention, no
less than his inability to tell the truth
in any event. Treasurer Gates never
stole dollar nor did the State lose a
cent under his incumOency; on the
contrary, he retired from office with
stain upon his character, public or
private. Walker did not steal any
thing. but he violated bis oath of office,
and lor this ought to have been severe
ly punished. He was retired shortly
after, and is too dead to skin, political
you name, Bergman of Madison is
now under Indictment and bond; SO is
Stevens of Reynolds; the Ste. Gene
We've delinquent, you admit, is in the
tolls. AS for Treasurer Warning of
Washington, the Democratic party is
not responsible; he was elected OH one
of those independently tickets you
Republican people who abide in Dem
ocratic com nunities are always laud-
ing to the skies; and he was voted for
aud backed by every Republican in the
county as against the Democratic NOM
Inee. Waring is u true-blue Republic
can thief, and Democracy is not re-
sponsibIe for his elevation and fall.
He has "skipped' under indictment.
These thieves will be dealt with accord
ing to law, and their present position
proves our assertion that Democracy
does not condone wrong-doing, but
Furnishes it. We shall, at an early day.
point out so that even your bleareti
eyes may see it, the marked contrast
between the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties in their dealings with
knavery of all kinds.
Try again, brother, and try hard.
You may be able to do better next
time"
