The Supreme Court has declared
the laws passed by the Legislature
at the last session, in regard to the
formation Of State Senatorial and
Representative districts, to be UNI
constitutional, and the Supreme
Court also declared the Republican
Senatorial and Representative APP
portionment of 1885 to be uncon-
stitutional. The reason given is
that the State was not divided into
Senatorial and Representative dis
tricts according to law. Unless the
Governor should call special ses-
sion of the Legislature, and the
Senatorial and Representative dis
tricts apportioned, the election Of
members Of the State Legislature
will have to take place under the
apportionment act Of 1881. Under
that law the Alpena Representa-
tive district consists Of Alpena,
Montmorency and Pressure Isle
counties. A special session of the
Legislature has been called to meet
on Aug. 9Th. The gerrymander-
ing of districts ought to cut no
figure, and the divisions made should
be according to law, and for the
best interests Of the State.

Labor Saving Invention.

Congressman Bunting in a recent
congressional debate gave interest
ing information which is thus sum
married by the Albany Times
Union:
1T appears that about forty
years ago the preserving Of fruits
and vegetables by way Of the her
medically sealed can was an infant
industry, practically an American
discovery. Cans were made entire
ly by hand with the crudest kind of
tinsmith tools. Three men could
turn out over 100 cans each, or 800
per day at labor cost of $2 80 per
100 or thirty cents per dozen; boy
could carry them to the store-house
on his back in two trips. Now, by
the use of machinery, three men
will turn out 100000 better made
cans in a day. The labor cost is
thereby reduced TO less than one
cent per dozen. This greet output
can scarcely be loaded onto two
freight cars. Twenty years ago
corn was cut from the cob by hand
at cost of ten cents a bushel; two
bushels in an hour for boy was a
good average. Now, by the means
of one simple machine, boy will
cut seventy-fve bushels an hour
and do much better work. Ten
years ago peas were shelled by hand
and the labor cost was from ten to
fifteen cents per gallon. Now
there is q machine which, attended
by one man and two boys, will shell
as many peas as 500 women could
in day, or 1900 bushels in ten
hours, at labor cost Of less than
one-eighth OF cent per gallon.
Twenty-Five years ago cans were
filled by hand, the cooking was
done in the crudest manner, and
the Gaping was done by the use of
the common soldering iron.
Through improved facilities and
machinery, twenty-five hands out
of every twenty-five have been dis
placed at the filing table; four out
of every five have been displaced in
the cooking department, and twelve
out Of every fourteen have been
displaced at the Gaping stands.
These marked reductions in labor,
touching every feature Of the bust
ness, enables the packers to pay the
farmer old prices for produce and
yet sell canned goods, such az corn
and peas, which sold twenty-five
years ago at 30 per dozen. Thus
by labor-saving devices, the cost
Of production Of canned goods has
been so reduced as to place them
within the reach of the poorest"

Private War Must Stop.

The assault on the life Of the
general manager of the Carnegie
works at Homestead, says the st.
Louis Republic, is due to the spirit
Of lawless violence, and it is in keep
ing with what has preceded it in
this wretched business. When
private war begins it begins in the
spirit Of murder, and it can only be
carried on by murder. When Gen.
eral Manager Frick hired an army
of men in New York, Chicago and
Pennsylvania, he intended to kill
with them. He had the arms and
ammunition to do it with, and it
was his purpose to do it by whole
sale whenever, in his best judgment,
it seemed necessary or expedient.
When his armed preparations met
armed resistance from residents Of
Homestead, organized as labor cor
poration on the plan of the Carnegie
corporations of capital, the private
war he had anticipated and intend
ed was begun. If II was begun,
prematurely for his convenience,
it was not more or less a wrong,
nor was he more or less a wrong,
nor was he more or less party to
it than if the beginning had been
deferred until he WAS ready to give
the order to fire.
The attempt to murder him made
by Russian Anarchist, who is not
a party to the quarrel at Homestead,
would never have occurred had the
authority of the State of Pennsyl-
vsnia been respected in the first
place. When manufacturing was
dropped for the business of import
ing armed men in ironclad vessels,
Mr.. Frick was helping to create the
murderous spirit of which he is now
the victim. Personally he may be
an amiable man in the main, great
ly to be pitied individually, as are
many others engaged in these VIC
lent struggles; but neither sympa-
thy nor prejudice must be allowed
to obscure the truth Of such condi-
tons.
Under conditions which have
been growing worse in the United
States for the last fifteen years,
such of the corporations as enjoy
special privileges from government
have grown more and more confirm
ed in the idea that it is part of their
privilege to wage private war. And
it frequently happens that their
employees, from campaign premises
made to them in the name Of PRO
lection" have come to share the

allow his name to be placed on the
Democratic ticket. Not only has
Mr.. Stone thoroughly satisfied the
Democrats, but thousands of Re
publicans speak we'll of him. We
have heard prominent Republicans
express very fattering opinions in
regard to the capable manner in
which Auditor-General Stone has
done the work of his Office.

The Democratic State conven-
ton has an easy task before it.
All the present officers are serving
their first term, and have done their
duty to the people. They have
made a first class record, and have
saved the tax payers many thou
sands Of dollars, as compared with
the preceding Republican State Of
ficers. The present officials believe
that a public Office is a public trust,
They all deserve to be renominated,
and we believe they will. We are
also pleased that the capable and
efficient Auditor-General Stone has
decided to Withdraw his resignation
for second nomination, and ac-
quiesce in the demand Of Michigan
