representation by trickery for partisan


The Hon. Roger @. Mills can probably
have the craftsmanship of the Ways and
Means committee if he wants it, In the
last House he was the recognized leader of
the Democratic minority, in the preceding
House he was chairman of the ways and
means committee and it was he who in
vented the bill which bears his name.
Furthermore he was Mr.. Crisp's principal
competitor for the Speakership and is en-
titled to the chairmanship as sort of con-
snlation prize. But does Mr.. Mills want
the craftsmanship? Rumor credits him
with saying that he does not, taking the
ground that his defeat was practically the
defeat of the policy which he has advo-
Gated and that, therefore, it would be more
appropriate for somebody else to lead the
majority. Furthermore he is said to have
his eye on the Texas senatorship, and
hence likely to remove from the House
in the near future. If Mr.. Mills declines
in all probability the Hon. w. M. Springer
OF Illinois will get the place, and therefore
Mr.. Springer's S ideas concerning legislation,
become OF interest and importance. It is
understood that his plan il to send sepa-
rate bills go the Senate puttlng wool, salt,
coal. lumber, cotton ties aud binding
twine on the free LIST. and not attempt to
frame a general tariff measure. AS the
leader Of the House Springer will cut rath-
er sorry figure. popping up, as be always
is, like jack in the box and firing off ali
sorts of absurdities. But he will make
things lively for the spectators in the gal
leries and give the Republicans lots of op-
portunities which would not come with
level headed and discreet man at the head
of the ways and means committee.

An alleged refusal an the part of Judge
Libbey to answer all the questions pro-
pounded by the Augusta registration
board appears to be giving much concern
to some of our contemporaries, and there
is considerable speculation as to how the
Augusta board will handle the matter. 1t
is safe to say that ii the Augusta board
has been asking citizens unnecessary ques-
tions it will simply recede and ask 10 the
future only necessary ones, and that Judge
Libbey and everybody else will answer
them. The particular question which has
been giving trouble is one relating to the
applicants sge. To ask the exact age is
clearly necessary. 1t is sufficient TO ascer-
tain whether the applicant is twenty-one
or over, and If person declines to state
further than this there is no use to press
him, indeed there is no authority to do so.
The Argus asserts that majority of the
House of Representatives represents ma
jority of the people. Theoretically that
may be true, but practically it is frequent
ly untrue. Ohio has Republican major-
ity of some 10000. but owing to gerry

overwhelming majority of the Congress
men are Democrats. South Carolina has a
Republican majority of many thousand on
a free ballot and fair count but its con-
gressional delegation is entirely Demo-
cratic. A free ballot and fair count and a
just division Of the States into congress-
ional districts will undoubtedly serve to
make the majority of the House Of Repre-
sentatives represent majority of the peo-
pie, but without the free ballot and fair
apportionment the delegations from the
different states are about as likely to rep
resent the minority as the majority. In
this fact lies the necessity of some general
law to secure just apportionment. As it
is now every state legislature has 1t in its
power to so gerrymander the congressional
district that the majority or the minority
will be shorn of a part of its rights. Presi-
dent Harrison's appeal for law to put it
out Of the power of state legislation to do
this was therefore timely and statesman
like. Sooner or later such law has got to
bepassed, for the people will not forever

Boston's municipal election takes place
today. The present Mayor, the Hon. Ma
than Matthews. is candidate for re-elec-
tioD, and his Republican competitor is the
Hon. Horace g. Allen. As Boston con-
tains Democratic majority of about 13 :
0Oo, it is too much to expect that Republi-
can mayor will be elected when party lines
are drawn, as they appear to be this year.
We should like to predics the election of
Mr.. Allen. but we do not want to acquire
the reputation Of being false prophet.
The most we can hope for is that Mr..
Allen will cut liberal slice off the normal
Democratic majority.

MANAGEMENT OF sHgEp.

An Orleans County IN. Y. ) correspond
ent of the Albany CjtitiuGt0r asserts that
if any farmer win buy 100 square bodied
Merino ewes Tor one for each acre of his
farm well covered with good salable
wool, the fleece OF one years growth to
weigh about eleven pounds, he would
take III snug sum for wool, and hardly
know where it came from.
OF course, sheep need looking after
every day nearly, bat they do not have
to be MIXED, and that twice day, like
cows; neither do they have to be driven
TO the barn every day. They ought. how
ever, TO be changed from one lot to an
other about every three weeks, and that
is not much of a job if every time they
are looked after they are given a few
handfuls of some kind of grain that they
like. They are only too willing to follow
the dish on being called.
Forty of the shortest-wooled and tight
est-shearers should be kept with a Shrop-
shire ram, the eighty that are left TO be
turned with Merino ram. The lambs
should come just before the rush of
spring work, so that they can be watched
every few hours both day and night.
Every eve that does not have plenty of
milk and strong lamb should be marked
with knife on her ear, and when the
culling time comes the next September
she should be fattened, as also the ShroD-
shire lambs and half Of the Merino lambs.
after the best eve lambs have been sorted
out to take the place of the culls in the
flock
