national congress any measure which
will not commend itself to the intelli-
gence and sense of justice of majority
of the people. A mere increase Of the

change in the method of distribution,
will accomplish nothing. A system Of
distribution which lacks the element
of equality cannot be maintained.

SAD AfFAIR-In personal difficulty yes.

between Capt Frank Burkitt and b. L Hill,
Jr., the former was seriously but not fatally
shot. The difficulty grew out Of matters per.
tanning to the recent primary election.

late for the last issue. Capt Burkitt
has been leading the alliance fight in
Mississippi. and as the opposition press
OF that state, as well as the lailies Of

be able to leave his room in q veek or ten
