His Great Success as Fun Maker for
the Newspapers


Representative Elijah 4. Morse is
having harder time with the news
papers than Senator Blair, says the New
York sun. The latter complains that
the papers do not print enough about
his speech, while Mr.. Morse holds that
they print too much about what he does
and what he does not do. Mr.. Morse
has taken steps to Counteract the effect
of the publications. A few days ago
Western newspaper printed dispatch
from Washington TO the effect that Mr.
Morse delivered speech in the House
on the subject Of the new rules, and had
provided the correspondents of the
Boston papers with copy of the speech
in advance of its delivery in which the
words applause" laughter" etc,
were iuterlined. Later in the day, the
story went, Mr.. Morse sent a telegram
to the correspondents which read as
follows; Speech delivered; add at
bottom, great applause on the Republi-
can side"
This paragraph was copied into the
Eastern papers and caused Mr.. Morse
great annoyance. lie determined to re-
bukc his slanderers. lie, therefore, at
the cost of much time and trouble, sc
cured the signatures Of the correspond
ents of seven Boston papers to q state
ment denying that in the copy furnished
the words applause" ," Laughter" etc.,
were interined. Six of the statements
contained also q denial that any tele-
gram whatever had been received. In
statement No. Z no reference was made
to the telegram, and the denial was con,
fined simply to the charge of the inter
ling Of daughter, " applause" etc.
Mr.. Morse was very shrewd in not
referring TO the telegram in the seventh
statement, for the reason that he did
send telegram to the correspondent of
a leading Boston paper, in which he did
request that the words "great laughter
on the Republican side" be added at
the bottom of the copy. The hard
working Congressman from the distric,
once represented by John Quincy
Adams has probably not noticed that he
committed fatal error in having six OF
the statements deny the fact of the tele
gram and leaving it out in the seventh
but then he is probably happy in think.
ing thet he has fooled the public.

MARCH.

Lightfooted March, wild maid of Spring,
Your frolic footsteps hither stray!
Smiles blent with tears will April bring
'Tis April's sentimental way
But your wild winds with laughter ring,
While young and old your will obey;
A moment here, then on the wing,
Coquettish March, what games you play!
! know a maid as blithe as YOU
Child Of the lce-King and the sun
At her fair feet fond lovers WOO;
Shetlouts and ieers them, every one
And then she smiles-oDee more they sue;
Then blows she cold-they are undone;
oh march, could you or she be true.
Then all were naughb so you were won.

WASHINGTON. MARcHs. 1890.
ABOUT GERRYMANDERING

The bill which Mr.. McComas has
introduced in the House, to prevent the
serrymandering of Congressional dis.
tricts in the several States, is correct in
principle. 1t is perfectly true that the
States have long exercised full control
over the matter and that the interfer-
oDce of Congress will seem revolutions
aTy, and in measure, an invasion of
vested rights.
The Constitutional provision in the
matter is that "the times, places and
manner of holding elections for Senators
and Representatives shall be prescribed
in each State by the Legislature thereof
but the Congress may at any time by
law make or alter such regulations, ex-
cept as to the places of choosing Sena-
TORS Congress has, in the main, left
its powers in this direction in allegiance,
but it has never failed to assert them at
the proper time. For example, in 1912
Congress had occasion to look into the
matter of Congressional representation
and it enacted that Representatives ap-
portioned to the different States under
the census of 1910, should be chosen
by districts composed of contiguous
territory
The constitutional point has been
passed upon by the Supreme Court,
aud there can be 10 doubt as to the law
in the case. The Constitution distinctly
says that, in all respects, except that of
naming the places for choosing Sen
ators, Congress has supreme authority
TO regulate the times, places and manner
of holding Congressional elections.
The bill introduced by Mr.. McComls
has two clear points. 1t provides that
the territory of Congressional district
shall not only be contiguous, but com.
pact, and that the disparity in popula-
tion between the several districts of a
State shall not exceed 15 900 The ap-
phcation OF those two provisions to the
aerrymandering practices of recent
years is sufficiently apparent. For ex-
ample, the counties of BerkS and Le-
high, in Pennsylvania, with popula-
ton of 1866, elect Democrat to
Congress, while the struggling district
of Venango, Warren, Mexican and
Cameron counties, with population Of
1880, sends Republican. Here
then, is clear disparity of about
10000 The cases of absurdly made
up and struggling districts are numer-
GUS, and it is but just to say that in
these gerrymandering tactics both par
ties have, as they had opportunity
equally participated.
The Objectionable feature of the Nc
Comas bill is its provision for the elec
lion of the Fifty second Congress from
the Congressional districts that elected
the Fifty-first This provision is SC
clearly retroactive, and 1t applies 50
Immediately to the Ohio case, that il
should be stricken out at once. All
fair minded citizens have admitted that
the present arrangement of Congress
sional districts in Ohio is an outrage
upon free people. The proper thing
10 do, even in Ohio--and perhaps, BY
and by, the Democrats will find it tht
best politics-.is to turn in and help tC
make the best division of the State pos
sible and then to depend for majority
upon nominating the best candidates
upon the most popular issues

MOTHER EARTH.
Professor Gore Talks About Early
Notions Regarding IT..


Notions Regarding IT,.
Professor J. II. Gore gave an inter
esting lecture yesterday afternoon at
Columbia University, his subject being
"Some Primitive Notions Regarding
the Earth, lis Shape and Structure
General Greedy and a number of other
distinguished scientists were in attend
ance.
Professor Gore first took up the
primitive notions of the Greeks and
Hindoos, who thought the earth was
suspended over twelve columns, and
they were in the habit of offering sacri-
fees to keep the columns from failing
down. Newton, he said, first advanced
the theory that the earth was lattened
at the polls, which was contrary to the
belief of the French scientists. The
effort now, the speaker declared, was
to determine the exact size Of the
earth.

THE WILD CASE.

The court-martialing of Private Wild
and his sentence to excessive punish
ment have drawn renewed attention to
the I, gulations and methods in vogue for
maintaining discipline in the army.
1t is generally thought that the fact
that desertiOns are the rule rather than
the exceptions may be accounted for
by such cases as that of this private.
Something must be wrong in the
management of our army when almost
the only recruits that can be gathered
into il are from the slums and saloons
of the great cities. Something must be
wrong when any of its officers, edu-
Gated at the public expense and taken,
in the main, from humble circumstances
undertake to lord 1t over the private
soldiery.
The trouble, in a great measure,
arises from the fact that in the establish
ment of our military system we Dor
Towed our regulations, tactics and no
lions of military discipline direct
from England In England especially
ihe England of by-gone day which we
copied-a great gulf is supposed to exist
between officers and men. The Eng
lish idea was thai the officers were, al
most exclusively, scions of aristocratic
families The American plan, practi-
cally, has been 10 produce an imitation
nobility al the West Point Government
school. This, of course, was never the
intention, but II was nevertheless the
actual outcome Of the West Point plan.
The only way in which the trouble
which affects the army can be remedied
is by establishing between officers and
priyates footing Of deeency aud mutual
respect. This is the only basis con
sistent with American institutions.

GREAT CRY AND LITTLE wool.

What is said of the Civil Service In
vcstigatioD.
The House Committee on Reform in
the Civil Service is feeling great
sense of relief to-day. The examina-
ton of Paul, erstwhile postmaster at
Milwaukee, ended yesterday, and,
when he stepped down from the wit
ness stand, the Investigation of the
Hatton charges was at an end
There is feeling among good many
Congressman that this has been case
of great cry and little wool" A Re
publican Representative from Wiscou-
sin said this morning to THE CRITIC
that he failed to see what good had been
accomplished for anybody by the inves-
tigation. He said it looked very much
like q useless expenditure of public
money to saddle the expense of investi-
eating the matter on the Government.
He seemed to think that those who had
brought the charges should pay the cost
of examining into them.
1t is understood that the committee
will on Monday begin an investigation
of the operation of the Civil Serv.
ice law. The Butterworth charge
is, substantially, that the party
which is in power manages to corral
the offices just the same as in the good
old spoils system of yore. The effect
of the substantiation, of this charge
would be to discredit the present sys-
TEN.
The Hatton charges are not generally
regarded by Congressman as affecting
the system, even if il be admitted that
they are proven. They affect only the
personnel of the Commission. The ut
most that their establishment codld
accomplish would be a change of Com
missiUncrs. and that rests not with
Congress, but with the President The
establishment Of the Butterworth
charge, on the other hand, would dis
credit the system itself and might lead
to its abolition or essential modifica-
