that we will employ firm of LAWYERS,
and pay them $4,000 for something
that we know is entirely out of our
reach We think the *l2, 900 part of
the contract is all right, because we
think those interested could we'll af-
ford to pay $4,000 if the SUIT could
be won, but everybody knows that
they have ''cinch" on US, that we
can never unloose, only by the pay
ment of the bonds. If Messrs. Ros.
sington, Smith & Dallas, would take
the case on the insurance plan it
might be good idea for the interest
ed parties to pay them we'll for their
time and great legal ability. and we
do not think the people would object
to paying $3.50 under such circum-
stances, but to get ourselves bound
up to pay $4,000 as fees and $1,000
or 81 800 expenses, simply to create
a fee for lawyers, in addition to what
we have already paid for the railroad,
is the foolishest kind of folly. Gen
tlemen don't be deceived by this cle-
gantly worded contract 1t simply
means if you ratify it that we will pay
our share of 81, 900 to help law firm
in the city of Topeka get rich and
keep them in silk hats while we wear
scotch caps We have our railroad
and it is good one, we know now
what it cost us, we knew when we were
voting the bonds. If we 60 fooling
around with the Rock Island Ry., or
the Metropolitan Trust Co., if that
sounds better, we will never know
what it will cost us. We think the
wise plan is to let them 60 ahead and
"eat the c. X. & N. Co. up, body and
breeches,' ae they have arranged to
do, and as they certainly will do
whether we "kick" or not, and let
each municipality charge up to profit
and loss, and experience the amount
of stock they have in the e. X. & N.
Moral-When you want to fight a
railroad company commence fighting
when the company begins, and not
wait until after the suit IS won before
you employ your $4,000 lawyers

The Court Was with Him.

A young lawyer was making his maiden
effort before jury in defense Of criminal.
The evidence was all in, and he arose to utter
the brilliant thoughts that had been surging
through his brain. He was primed for a fine
display of oratorical pyrotechnics, but son,e-
how or other he could not get start His
mind became blank, and he stood trembling
for a moment. Then, waving his arms, he
began: May it please the court and gentle
men of the jury-My-ahem! My --
Officer, kindly get me a drink Of water"
He waited for the attendant to return and
tried to gather his faculties. After taking q
sip Of water he began again: MAY it please
the court and gentlemen Of the jury am
happy-no-yes."
After pause he again extended his arm
and exclaimed: May it please the court and
gentlemen of the jury-my unfortunate eli
ent"-
This impressed him rs a particularly bad
opening, so he again hesitated. "Go on,
counselor" said the judge, encouragingly;
80 far am with you."-New York Herald

The basis Of representation for con-
gressmen for the apportionment soon
to be made will be one congressman
for a population of $4,000. Under
the apportionment based on the next
census Kansas will gain two members
of congress. Maine will be the only
state to lose. Maine had seven in
1880 and it will have but five. The
four new states will probably have
fourteen electoral votes, distributed as
follows: South Dakota, I; Washing.
ton, 4; Montana, 3; and North Da.
kota. 3, According to the electoral
vote of 1888, with Montana added
as democratic. the democratic elector-
al vote will be increased from 16S 10
1S9. According to the electoral vote
of 1888, with South Dakota, Wash
ington and North Dakota added as
republican, the republican vote would
be increased from 219 to 246. The
net gain to the republicans seems like
ly. therefore. to be seven. The basis
of representation for congressman rose
steadily from 10000 in 1889 to 0,000
in 1920, 70,6S0 in 1910, 13O,533 in
1870. and 152 900 in 1888. 1t will be
175 600 this year. With the addi-
tions caused by the admissions of
senato-s and representatives from the
four new states, the presidential cleo
tors will probably number $50 in the
election Of 1892, against 4O1 in 1888
and 1884.
