a Promising Situation.

New York Daily Investigator
5000 Judges say that one of the next To-
ealitles TO achieve distinction by humping
IRON a substantial town tn a thriving me-
IFel'oils IN q lew years will be the CITY of
superior. Wisconsin, and this too without
me eHort and struggle through which in
terror towns have passed while eYfectine,
the same result. Untila wear or two aoS
the average man did not stop to think that
Superior as monopolist of the water and
rail termiui at one end of the lakes is in the
same position as Buffalo at the other end.
Figures are Uninteresting unless given
briefly. but comparisons are ALWAYS iunpor-
iant. This little Superior, credited by its
last census with only y. coo people, haudl ID
more coal last year than did Chicago: Of
gralu- Il shipped nineteen million bushels:
Of flour, sixteen hundred fhousa.. z barrels:
OF wool, four million pounds, Of merchan-
disc, TO he value OF thirteen million dol
lars Of all lake cities this business was
second only 10 Chicago in magnitude
There is an economical reason for this con-
clifton of things It's that the rail rate on
freight sent west OF Lake Michigan is one
cent per ton per mile, while the water rate
Is one-tenth OF one cent per ton per mile.
THIS position at the extreme western end Of
Lake Superior is what gives the city of St-
perior its prestige, and is making It grow
1aste~ than Chicago ever did Besides ono
hundred and one smaller industrial con-
Germs, Superior has located twenty-eicht
large manufacturing enterprises in the past
eighteen months, including the American
Steel Barge Company, the builders OF the
famous ''whalebackf vessel. which is revo-
lutioniZing the lake and ocean freight car
ryiug trade The twenty eight institutions
above mentioned, include iron aud steel
plants, -four mills, stove foundries, wagon
factories, pump makers. shipbuilders and
saw aud shingle mills. The most conserva-
tive business Inen in the Northwest believe
that Superior win grow faster in the next
ten years than any other city in that pros
porous section of the country, and many Of
them claim that Chicago, st I~ui, Mime
apOlis and Milwaukee have never seen the
rapid growth that viii come 70 the head Of
the great chain Of lakes and the city OF Su-
perlOr.

Unconstitutional.

MADISON, Wis, March 22.-The SUI
preme court to-day declared the assem-
| bly,. senatorial and congressional APP
| portionment made by the last legisla-
ture To be unconstitutional. The de-
cision was unanimous The last legis-
lature in passing the law apportioning
the state, in some eases ignored county
and ward lines, The court held that
/ section 4. article 4. of the constitution,
ordains that assembly diftricts shall be
bounded by county, pr met, town or
ward lines" The term precinct" has
ceased to be significant The above
provision makes the county the primary
territorial unit of representation in the
| assembly and prohibits the dismember-
ment of counties in the formation of as
sembly districts, hence no assembly
district can lawfully be formed which
includes territory in two or more coun-
ties, unless the whole of such counties
are included therein, so that the dis
trict is bounded entirely by county
lines. A constitutional assembly dis
trict cannot be formed which includes
within its limits fractions of two or
more counties, or one county and a
fraction of another county, for in either
case the integrity of county lines would
be violated, and n county dismembered.
Chapter 4s2, Laws of 1891, attempts
thus 20 dismember about twenty eoun-
ties.

The Michigan Billiard Expert Easily De-
feats Jake Schaefer at the BaIk-LIne
Game for the Worlds Championship.
CHICAGO, March 21.-Frank Ives de-
feated Jake Schaefer in the 14-inch
balk-line billiard game at Central
Music hall Saturday night Schaefer's
score was 400 when Ives had reached
500 The conditions of the match
were 500 points up for $500 a
side, the winner to take the gross
receipts and the losers to pay all eX-
penses. The worlds champion ship
emblem at 14-ineh ball1-line was also
involved. The match has been the talk
of the country for weeks past and
many delegations from outside cities
were in the hall when play commenced.
Schaefer lays his defeat to the fact
that the balls used were not true, rem
dering it impossible for him to eff
feetively employ the delicate stroke
which has made him SO famous, and,
while his opponent, of course, used the
same implements, their false shape
did not hinder him from scoring
points, because his style of play was
not such as could be materially af-
fected.
1t required over four hours to finish
the game which consisted of forty-nine
innings. At the close the score stood:
Ives, 500; Schaefer. 400. Ives average,
16 16. 40; Schaefer's average, 10 10. As.
