Gerrymandering,


Gerrymandering the States so as
to give one party more representation
than it is justly entitled to, is wrong
and in violation of true Representa-
tive government. The Republicans
have been guilty of this wrong to a
very great extent, yet when the DEM
ocrats, as in Ohio, give them a dose
of their own medicine, they raise a
howl, and call for Federal interfer-
.ence. The following viii give some
idea of the wrongs perpetrated upon
the Democrats by the Republicans:
''In California, for instance, it ap-
pears that III, ,792 Democratic voters
elect two representatives, while 124,=
816 Republicans elect four, It thus
takes 5S, S04 Democrats in that State
to elect representative, but only
81 ,204 Republicans. 1t is plain,
therefore, that q $50 Democrats are
practically disfranchised. But there
is still more disgraceful showing in
Illinois. In that State 34S, ,371 Dem
ocratic voters elect seven representa-
tives, while 270, AIS Republicans elect
thirteen. Average number of voters
to the Representative Democrats,
49, ,767; Republican, %, 1913; differ
ence, 21,269. In Iowa the case is
still worse. In that State 179, ,577
Democratic voters elect one Repre-
sentative, while 211, ,59S Republicans
elect ten. Average number of voters
to the representative Democratic,
IFS, ,877 Republican, 81 ,150 differ
ence, 1878. In Massachusetts
104, 1886 voters elect two Democratic
Representatives willie 183, 1892 Re-
publicans elect ten. Average num-
ber of voters to the Representative
Democratic, 50, 1872, Republican, 49,
389 difference 33, ,903. In the great
State of New York, with its large
representation, it takes ~ ,3S9 Dem
ocrats to elect a Congressman, but
only So, 1O5 Republicans. In Michi-
gan the average number of voters to
tho representative is. Democratic,
LOG, 734 Republican, 1926; differ
ence of so, 400, adverse. to the Dem
ocrats. In Ohio, also, this anti-Dem-
ocratic difference amounts to 22,249
votes. Nor is the mere relative dis
elimination against Democratic votes
above shown half the iniquity invoIv-
ed in the perfected game of Republic
can gerrymandering. For example,
in Kansas, while 182, ,9O4 Republican
have seven Representative, 1872
Democrats and other political dissen-
ters are robbed of any representation
at all. Even in Speaker Reeds
State, while 1874 Republican elect
four Representatives, 54,516 voters,
not of that party, are cut off from all
representation. Likewise in Mime
sofa, 120,793 Democrats are virtually
disfranchised, and in Nebraska, a.
229, and so on in varying degrees
throughout the whole Union :"

The Lee Statue.

Harper's Weekly, in an article on
the equestrian statue of Gen. R. E.
Lee, which is to be unveiled in Rich
mond, Va, on the 29th of May, says /:
"The horse which Lee bestrides in
Mercie's statue has all four feet to
the ground, but is in the act of walk
ing slowly. A fore foot is planted in
advance, and the hind foot on the
same side is about to follow suit, but
has not yetentirely Quilted the ground.
The head is bent little to one side,
and the tail just swings clear of the
fanks. The Generals dress is sim
ply to severity, characteristic found
among the commanders on both sides
who commonly avoided the trappings
and pomp of war. He is girt with
sash and wears the sword of a COM
mander. of cavalry. No RpauIets apr
pear, but the coat sleeve bears on the
forearm an ornament IN broad 6raIu,
He holds his hat in the right hand
hanging by his side and the reins in
the left. The feet are tipped into the
stirrups, and are not perfectly on
line, the right foot being slightly in
advance. Calmness and determina-
tion are shown in the bearded face.
BE seems to be reviewing troops, and
we may suppose that the moment
chosen is that in which he examined
the Army of Northern Virginia before
pressing onward to his fate at Get
tysburg. There is great response in
this statue, but of dullness or heavi-
ness not trace. The horse is alive,
yet has the minimim of liveliness.-
The'igure is posed easily and natur-
ally, without that grip of the knees
which horsemen talk about, but do
not employ when moving slowly, aud
there is considerable distance be-
tween foot and foot. The riding
boots, sash, coat and gauntlets are
modelled with ease, like habiliments
Of everyday wear, and the horses
name and tail, and the hair on the
head and beard of the rider are broad
ly and vigorously turned"

New WAY TO KILL RATs.-The
Laccadive Islands have been attacked
by a plague of rats. which destroyed
the cocoanut plantations and reduced
the islanders to condition of desti-
tuition. It has been suggested to the
Madras Government that it should
deal with the plague by the plaster of
Paris cure. Powdered plaster is
sprinkled on boiled rice. The rats
which eat this become thirsty, and
when they drink, the plaster hardens
and kills them. This plan IS at least
free from the danger TO human life
which attends the useof arsenic.
