Some Interesting Figures.

The number of inhabitants entitled
to Representatives. Congress is the
same in all the States of the Union ::
and yet the official count of the votes
cast for such Representatives in the
election of 1888 shows some very re-
markable facts. The State of Kansas
IN that year elected seven Represent
atlves by an aggregate vote of 271,-
52l, while Mississippi also elected the
same number of Representatives by
an aggregate vote of only 44,953.
sdisparity between these aggre-
gates is startling.
Connecticut, in the same year, elect
ed four Representatives by 123,1O5
votes, and four Congressional Dis
trlcts in Ohio elected as many Repre-
sentatives by 141, 523 votes, while
only 1866 votes were cast in elect
ing the Representatives from four
congressional Districts in South Car
DINA. The disparity here is equally
startling.
The Eleventh District in Illinois
elected one Representative by "a ,266
votes, while in Georgia 27,475 votes
elected ten Representative in Con-
gress.
We might add other similar figures,
showing the huge difference in the
number of votes reported as cast for
Congressmenin Southern States, and
the votes electing the same number
OF congressman in the Northern and
Western States This difference is
not due to a corresponding difference
in the population in Congressional
Districts, but to difference in the
manner of conducting elections in
these Districts.
The figures prove, beyond any rea-
sOnable doubt, an enormous suppress
sion of legal votes at the South,
where the Democrats have their own
way, and under the present system
manage elections to suit themselves.
These figures, moreover, supply a
good reason why Congress should, as
it has an undoubted right to do, take
such charge of these elections for
Representatives as will effectualIy
correct this gross abuse. If we can
not have honest and just elections of
Representatives under State1aws and
State regulations, then let Congress
enact laws that will secure the result.

A great many people think news
paper should have about page of
local news, whether anything happens
or not. Deluded mortalsl Local
editors cannot make people break
their necks, commit suicide, or do
any of the other exciting things to
make up the material out of which
the local reporter delights to weave
paragraphs. Furnishing domestic
news, when there is none, is very
much like extricating blood from a
turnip. 1t is no more than fair that
those who g1'umble at the lack of To-
cal news in their paper should stop
and think whether they could not
give the editor an item or two worthy
of printing, and if so let them hold
their own remissness.

FARM MORTGAGES OvER-EsTIMAT-
ED.-The statement that farm mort
cages in Kansas are shown by the
census enumeratOrs to be not more
than one-fourth as heavya burden as
the economic agitators have declar-
ed, is followed by the results of the
investigation in Maine, where the
amount of mortgaged property is
shown to have been greatly over-esti-
mated. The farmers are not loaded
down with debts, but in fact are en-
joying, even in "sterile" New Eng
land, a very fair degree of prosperity.
The farmers have known this all
along, and this is why they have not
been moved by the solicitations of
the free trade agitators, to approve
a radical change in the economic pol
icy ofthe country.-Springfeld Union.
