$126, ,542. Each has two members of the
legislature. The towns of Hartford and
New Haven elected four representatives,
while sixty small towns sent rs. Twelve
cities, with $4,000 votes, sent "a repre-
sentatives, and four rural counties. with
3s,669 votes, sent 100 representatives.
Prof. Hubert A. Newton, the statistician
of Yale college, has prepared tables
which show that the 134 Democrats now
in the state legislature were elected by
195, $40 votes, while the 141 Republicans
who recently elected Senator Platt, rep
resent only 73,144 votes. In state
election the governor is required to get
a net majority of all the votes cast, in
stead of plurality, according to the
rule prevailing in nearly all the states.
This throws the election into the legisla-
ture chosen as illustrated above. To
mend the political ways of this good old
Nutmeg state by means of a constitu-
tional amendment would take three
years, and all attempts to do this are
vigorously opposed by the Republican
politicians who gain so much by the
present arrangement. Any plan for a
constitutional convention is disrupted
by the same selfish interests. An effort
will be made this winter to call such a
convention, but with what success re-
mains to be seen.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-04

NEVER before in the history of Los
Angeles were there so many visitors
within her borders. The hotels and
lodging houses of the city are thronged, /,
and those in the country are full. The
means of accommodating visitors here
now are very liberal and excellent, yet
they are taxed to their utmost capacity.
Such throng of people prior to six
years ago could not have been housed or
fed. Now is the time to build the
Tenth-street hotel. The throngs of this
year are merely the avant couriers of
those to come in future years. The
great hotel is an absolute necessity of
the situation. 1t will be needed. The
hotel out on the hills, where the Bel
mont used to stand, is to be built at an
early day. Let it be so. We shall need
a great deal of frst-class hotel room
from this on.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-04

A COMPTON ranchman writes to the
HERALD in correction of sensational re-
ports as to the damage done by the
floods of last week. 1t is, no doubt,
true that the accounts sent to the news
papers We're more or less exaggerated.
This remark will apply with peculiar
force to the accounts first published
while the waters were over the river
banks and the flooded districts unap-
proachable. AS the waters receded, it
has generally been found that the dam
age was not great excepting in few
places. The HERALD was careful to in
form its readers at the time that this
would be the outcome of affairs, and we
abstained from admitting to our columns
many highly sensational tales of the
ravages of the storm. The Compton
rancher takes occasion in his letter to
give some highly interesting and in
structive facts as to the prosperity that
has fallen to the lot of his neighbors in
the sixteen years since he first settled
there. 1t is such a record as no spot
outside of Southern California could fur
nish. And the rains, annoying as they
are, and great as is the destruction left
in the wake of the flood, are the primal
sources of all this agricultural prosper
ity. The deluges of rain and the heavy
SHOWS in the mountains, fill the natural
reservoirs for the valleys, and irrigation
bitches and artesian wells will supply
copious streams for more than year to
come

THE Jackson Democratic club will fire
salvo of one hundred guns at noon to-
day in token of JOY at the termination Of
the most abominable session of congress
this country was ever cursed with. 1t
is to be devoutly wished that it will be
very long day before the people of the
United States will again have congress
that can be charged with the infamies of
a Mckinley tariff bill, with form
idable attempt to control the ballot
box by a central oligarchy, with the
betrayal of the industrial interests of the
country to the gold bugs of Wall street,
and with speaker of the house, backed
by the solid support OF his party, who
became by his rulings the despotic
dictator of all legislation. That this
session has expired by law and its mem
bers been permitted to disperse in
peace, is the most incontestible proof
that could be adduced of the patienc ce
and self-containment of the American
peOple
Los Angeles herald., 1891-03-04

THE good old state of Connecticut fur
nishes an interesting study in politics.
The state nearly always goes Democratic
in a national election, and casts major
ity of Democratic votes in any election.
But the state offices are almost always
filled by Republicans, and so are the
seats of the state in the United States
senate. 1t comes about in this way. By
the present constitution, adopted in
1918, each old town was entitled to the
representation in the lower branch of The
legislature which it had before, ard
each new town to one representative.
Since that time no provision has been
made for the changes in population and
wealth. In 1918, for instance, five cities
contained little less than 10 per cent. of
the population of the state. There are
now twelve cities which contain nearly
one-half of Connecticut's population.
Yet they have but "a votes out of the
253 representatives in the lower house.
In the last election these twelve cities
gave Democratic plurality OF about
5000 votes, all Of which were of no avail.
To illustrate: The town of New Haven
in 1883 cast II, 1927 votes and elected.two
representatives. The little town of
Union cast 11S votes, yet also elected
two representatives One ballot in the
smaller town, therefore, was equivalent
to 150 ballots in the larger. New Haven
has tax list Of $50, ,739, 600; Union, OF
