A Bold French rhiers Act.

PARIS, January ia decided senSa-
ton was one of the features OF Sunday
at Courcelles. a desperate man who
had been seen during the day lowering
around the booking Office OF the railroad
depot at CourcelleS, suddenly crept up
20 the Office window where woman
clerk was the only person on duty. The
man. after assuring himself that there
was nobody 10 his immediate vicinity,
quickly thrust his hand through the
ticket window, seized handful OF cash
and darted away before the cashier had
sufficiently recovered from her cOnster-
nation 10 be able 10 raise an
alarm. When the cashier finally
recovered her voice, she used 1t
10 such good purpose in shouting
"Stop thief that 4 policeman was soon
in pursuit, and he caught up to the
rascal and threw him upon the ground.
A fierce struggle brought other police
during which the latter managed TO
pull long, shap-pointed knife from his
pocket and plunge IL into the police
mans breast. The policeman sank
faintng 10 the ground and the thief and
murderer made another attempt to eS-
cape. The crowd Of people surrounded
the wounded officer, seized the thief
and held him until other policemen ar
rived. when he was handed into their
custody. The wounded policeman is
not expected 10 recover.

that he wears gold buckles on his elias

catch q train, he lost one Of his buckles,
aud it lay on the sidewalk for some
minutes. lie missed the train and was
sadly retracing his steps, when his eye
caught the simmer OF the buckle just
aS a lady'S dress swept over II. She
thought il was her property, and in the
haste of embarrassment, Snatched II
from the ground. The editor hated to
lose a $40 buckle, but rather than en-

TIE RE-ArPoRrIONAIENT.

Probably the most important duty the
Legislature will have to perform al this
session is that Of re-apportioning the
state ON the basis Of the Eleventh Gem
su. I'm this impression the REGISTER
prints a map Of the state showing the
counties and Senatorial districts, aud
the population according TO the Census
OF 1890. OF the counties, and the Sena-
torial and Congressional districts. A
perusal of this map will show that con-
siderable shifting about must be done in
the Congressional, Senatorial and Dele
gate districts in order to give all sec
lions equal representation in the state
and national Legislatures.
Letus start with the Congressional
districts. The First now has a popula-
ti.p of i67.sie. the Second ls',9s2' the
Third eoi ss4. and the Fourth l9i,SSS.
II will be- seen that there is considera-
ble inequality here which needs correc-
tion The REGISTER suggests that
peasants county with her ,53S Of popus
lation be taken from the Fourth district
and added To- the First. making the
popnlation Of those districts respective
In is-.350 and lSf,35O. a much more
eonaI representation. IL would DE an
eoually good plan TO take POcahontas'
or Webster-say Pocahontas with her
o.-4o capitalization the Third as
trict and add it 90 the Second, which
would almost exactly equalize the popu-
i,tio, of these districts, making them
respectively l9j,494 and l9i,66l. Con
,iderine the geographical location we
cannot see how more equitable recap
portionmeut Of the Congressional dis
tricts could be made.
As TO the Senatorial districts the
changes necessary on the new basis oil
population are more complicated, owing
80 tho greater number Of districts. and
the Legislature must exercise consider
,ble care in their re-apportionmen''
There is one change, however which
s,ggestS itself ata glance. The Tenth
5fstr,er now has 70,557 Of population
while the Eleventh has but 36,oi7. This
great discrepancy can be- done away
with by taking Taylor county with
nonnlation Of r.. 100. and Tucker with
b 4,3 from the Tenth district aud add
;n, Them 20 the Eleventh, making the
,o,plation Of these districts respective
~ 30 oot and 54.57O. The Legislature
may deem il desirable, in order TO more
evactlv eoualize the representation to
create another Senatorial district in the
lower part Of the state.
When we come to the Delegate dis
,ricts the situation becomes still more
complicated. The REGISTER has from
,he start pointed out the undesiraoil''y
- decreasing the number Of Sena-
.or. and Delegates We believe this
se,.,inent prevails in the legislature
n we use the present basis OF repreSe"-
,.tion in the new apportionmen' many
ea,,,,e. sill have TO be given additional
s.osen,stiyes. and this would simply

of most alarming nature have been re-
ceiyed here from LeghOrn, IL being un-
dersfood that the regular press means

messages referred to, several dynamite
cartridges were exploded almost stimuli
taneously on Saturday in the Immediate
vicinity of the various residences OF a
number Of wealthy residents Of Leg

able at present, but it is said that the

a well planned Anarchist plot which
was to have led to a riot and the Sacking

make the Legislature uuwieldly and
more expensive, while it would not add
one whit TO its powers as legislative
body, and would probably detract from
them. The REGISTER suggests that the
basis of representation be Increased so
that the present numberof Senators and
Delegates will not be materially III
creased. This, of course, may throw
some counties nov represented individ-
ually 10 the House into Delegate dis
trictS and there is where the greatest
care must bee exercised and the finest
figuring done in making the new appor-
tionment.
Outside OF this IL will be comparative
ly smooth sailing in dealing with the
counties. after the basis Of representa-
tive shall have been determined upon.
Some counties must De granted addi-
tional representatives. For instance,
Cabeli, which in the past decade has in
creased her population from 1874 to
23,5ie-or nearly doubled it-should GER
tainly be given another delegate. Other
instances may be seen by a glance over
the comparative tables published else
where, where additional representatives
should be given.
In making these suggestions 10 the
Legislature the EEGISrEE entirely puts
aside the question Of partisan political
advantage, our object being ia the pub
LEGATION of these facts and figures 20 Sc
cure fair and equal representation Of
the people OF every section aud county
