in the April Atlantic under the title Of the
Hare system of proportional representa-
ton. The Springfield Republican summar-
ICES the leading features of this system as
follows:
The number of representatives each state shall
have in congress is to be determined as now. but
the basis of election is TO be changed When
the total vote cast for congressman, for in
stance il counted, IL Is to be divided BY the
number of congressman to which the state Is
entitled, the quotient is the number OF votes
necessary to elec: a congressman. In Massa-
chusetts in 1898 2S0,o37 votes were cast tor
twelve congressman, which would make the
electiug quota OF votes 1856. The Republic
cans polled 1857 votes, which would give
them under this plan five congressman, with
a remainder OF 12,g7 votes. The Democrats
polled 137,079 votes, which would give them
also FIVE congressman, with remainder
of % 800 votes. All other parties, including My
ron p Walker, polled 1880 votes. OF which
1858 were Walkers. Under the Hare system
the Democrats would have had six congressman
and the Republicans SIX or one each ABOVE
their quota number, because of the large re-
mainders.
In Missouri, under this quota system, the re-
suit in 1890 would have been five Republicans,
eight Democrats and one third party man repre-
senting the state in congress, instead OF four
teen Democrats as now.
Judging from the popular vote for president
in 1888, the representa- in congress OF the
two great parties under this system, would have
been nearly equal, instead OF SO far apart a. at
present The balance of power would be held
by representatives of various ideas-Prohibition-
lists, Alliance men, Labor meu and the like.

Nobody Now Cares to Read the Drear

Nobody Now Cares to Read the Dreary
Writings of Mark Twain.
Foster Coates.
The gossip of literary circles is to the
effect that Mark Twain's letters from
abroad are unsuccessful, and it = quite
likely they may soon be discont1nued
OF this / know nothing, but doFknow
that every one awho has read them
comedies that Twain has added moth
ing to his reputation by writing
them. Indeed there is q marked
decline in Twain literature just now. His
books are no longer as popular as they
were. People seem to have tired of him,
and from everywhere cores. the same re-
port. But to Twain personally, perhaps
this makes no difference. He is wealthy
man and can afford to take the remainder
of his life easily. He lis paid a large sum for
those letters, and all the money Id has
made out of literature he has invested in q
wav that gives him fine income.
The one humorst whose work is con-
stantly in demand is Bill Nye. His
weekly letters have larger sale today and
are more widely copied than the work of
any other literary man i'll America. His
$4,000 year. Nye is quite the reverse
from Twain in many ways. He
is agreeable, courteous and always
anxious to help young men
and women who are trying to get into the
profession of letters. Twain. on the other
hand, is sour and surly, and particularly
dis!ikes to see young men or women who
have letter, of introduction to him who
might hope to profit by his counsel and
advice.
just before Mark Twain sailed for
Europe from this city one of the best
known magazine editors in town met him
on Broadway. This editor was on the way
to the Authors Club. He invited Twain
TO accompany him. Twain haughtily de-
clined. When the editor reached the club
he told fellow member that he had seen
Twain and invited him to the club house.
why didn't he come with your" was
the question put to the editor.
''Well, you see," replied the editor
slowly, Twain is a sensible man. He has
got such q big head that he knows he
couldn't enter the club door. and didn't
offer to take down the front of the build
ing that he might enter"

Perkins is . pioneer of Palouse. the father Of

unfairly withdrew in the interest of harmony,

did, personal aspirations, which are always
honorable if honorably pursued, for the good

FATHER CHIROUSE.

IULALlP, Apr1fl9, 1882
To THE EDITOR: 1t 10 no mosat han just that
some one should correct the piece published in
your paper of the 10th regards dear old Father E.
c. Chirouse's treatment to an Indian in British
Columbia.
We have been in constant correspondence with
him ever since he left Tulalip, where he spent
years of his life working for our conversion and
civilization. and We know beyond the possibil-
ity OF doubt that he is not guilty of such an
act Now he is suffering from a second stroke
of paralysis in the hospital at New Westminster,
and is not even able to write, his correspondence
having to be done by others, and is confined to
his room there.
Had he been disposed to chastise one of his
wards, for whom he has worn out his life it
would not have been q cruel way, as he loves the
Indians like as though they were his children,
and has labored for them over fifty years, till
now his health is beyond recovery. 1t pains us
to hear injustice towards those who need far
more praise than they ever receive.
We hope it will please you to make q correc-
ton OF an assertion false, and oblige his dear
friends for whom he labored for years
