1t will be seen that the per cent of increase of
voters in the four years from 1884 to 1888 has
been much greater In the new and sparsely set
tied counties than in the older counties. The In,
crease IN some OF the smaller counties has been
at the rate of 1914 per cent yearly, at which rate
they will double their population in eight years
1t is therefore, not only unjust but absurd to as
sumo that these counties have no more popula-
lion than they had five years ago, and that

Mr.. Stanley's Personal Narrative.

The interesting fact is announced by
Messrs, Charles Scribner's Sons that
they have acquired frem Mr.. Henry NJ,
Stanley all the American rights for his
personal narrative of the expedition
for the relief of Emin Pasha. Prior to
the appearance of the complete work,
Scribner'S Magazine will publish an ar
ticle upon his last journey by Mr.. stan
ley. 1t will be illustrated and is certain
to be as important a contribution as
any that has ever appeared in an Amer
lean Magazine.
Readers may have noticed that Mr..
Herbert Ward, who was one Of Stan
ley's officers, makes no mention of the
expedition in the article recounting his
experiences upon the Congo, which APP
pears in Scr'ibners for February, the
fact being that Mr.. Stanley has reserved
the sole right to describe this most re
markable of all his African undertake

That Infamous Gerrymander.


In the first place, It should be understood in
making an apportonmout Under the require
ments of our constitution, which forblds float
or the uniting of two or more counties in dis
trict unless they lie contiguous to each other, it
is impossible to make the districts OF precisely
equal population II is natural therefore, for the
party in power to 50 adjust the appOrtionment
that il will insure as Tar as possible to its ad.
vantage, and this can be done without violating
the constitution or being unfair to the opposite
party. In the next place, it should be- under:
stood that Willie the constitution provides that
when the Legislature fixed the ratio for district
no district hail he created with less population
than half this ratio. II does not say that the
Legislature, in fixing the district shall not have
in view the fact that in the sparsely populated
counties of the western part Of the state the pop
ulatiOn may be increasing more rapidly than In
the older settled counties. Thus while several
OF these, if the last Is to be the basis, fall
below the constitutional requirement, rs mat
ter of fact, having largely increased in population
during the past few years they do not now so fall
Let us, for example, examine the following
table given by the state Leader.

THE plan of the proposed soldiers
monument to be erected at Des Moines
will require a S25OOOO appropriation
for its construction. A majority Of
public opinion is undoubtedly in favor
of postponing this enterprise until tie
state shall be in better circumstances,
and many of the veterans believe that
the state can more advantageously eX-
pend that amount upon the living in
the way of more liberal appropriations
for the soldiers home. 1t is almost a
certainty that an appropriation for tie
monument will not be made by the 2&d
general assembly.

A DELEGATION of Nebraska schem-
ers went to Chicago to confer with rail
road magnates for the purpose of Sc
curing lower transportation rates on
corn. They succeeded in getting re-
duction of 10 per cent on the old rate
per hundred weight. The reduction is
small that it will make no appreciable
difference to producers, but the ship
pers might afford vote of thanks to
the delegation for its trouble.

Mr.. CAIN, who ran on the union la
Dor ticket two years ago with J. r. Sow
ereign has become disguised with the

republican party is "the party of

been attended by its own punishment,
and we move the bretheren that his ap-
plication for readmission be accepted.

How the democratic papers love
Francis Murphy, the temperance evan,
gelist. They are now engaged In ad-
miring his methods Of moral suasion
which they much prefer to laws and
penalties. Well, the democrats ought
to love Murphy, because he has spent
so much time and effort to reform then,
and thus far with such little reward.

EVERY republican in Audubon coun-
ty is anxious that the republicans in the
house adhere to the position taken on
permanent organization, The republi-
cans are battling for principal against
an opposition that is making struggle
for spoiIs. 1t does not stand on COM
mon ground, but on the contrary is
composed of factions whose avowed
purposes are conflicting, and indeed in
direct opposition. 1t is the unanimous
desire Of Audubon county republicans
that the representatives adhere to the
position taken and fight it out on that
dine if it takes all summer.
