pARNELL,s SUCCESSOR.
10 Makes Decided Hit In the British
House of Commons.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-In the house of
commons yesterday, Mr.. John e. Red
mond, member for Waterford, made a
remarkable and most brilliant speech.
1t was a complete surprise, both to his
friends and his foes, and was looked
upon as indicating that he was possessed
of degree of ability which he had not
been credited with up to this time. He
had the pleasure of addressing the
fullest house of this session, all parties
being strongly represented.
Mr. Redmonds speech was evidently
designed to embarrass both the anti
Parnellites and the Liberals, and will, it
is thought, probably succeed to some
extent. and may possibly induce deser.
tons from the anti-Parneilite faction.
Incidentally Mr.. Redmond covered
Sir George Otto Trevelyan with ridicule
by Analysing his political record. He
had opposed the home rule bill of 1886
and was defeated at the ensuing general
election, but having become satisfied
with Mr.. Gladstone's Irish policy he
was elected to represent the Brighton
division of Glasgow in 1887. In the chief
points Of his speech Mr.. Redmond
played into the hands of the Tories, who
cheered him vociferously.
Mr.. Redmond insisted that Mr.. Glad
stone should publish the main features
of his home rule measure, and he then
formulated the Parnellite idea of home
rule. He said that the Parnellites did
not desire to interfere with the suprem-
acy of the imperial parliament, but he
added they demanded the power to leg
islate on all Irish matters, subject only
to the constitutional veto of the crown.
the Irish executive to have free power
over the police and judiciary.
The general opinion was that Mr..
Sections speech. which preceded Mr.
Redmonds, was fine one, but that Mr.,
Redmond's eclipsed it, and it is certain
to have powerful effect in Ireland.

SAVANNAH, Ga, Feb 16.-Cotton fac

to planters this date being several weeks

tors are refusing this increase of ad-
vances, and are demanding security even
from those with whom they have had
satisfactory relations for years, and to
whom they advanced money in past
years without this precaution.

LONDON, Feb. 16.-The Globe SAYS it
hopes British manufacturers will not al

absence of British exhibits at the fair
would do more harm than anything else,
and be confession of defeat.

The State Supreme Cours Declares It
Unconstituti onaL

ChCohSbAtablOuhls
MADISON, WIS. March 22.-The supreme
court declares the assembly, senatorial and
congressional apportionment made by the
last legislature to be unconstitutional
The decision OF the court was unanimous.
II held that'the constitution ordains that
the assembly district shall be bounded by
county, precinct, town or ward lines.
Since no assembly district can lawfully be
formed which includes territory In two or
more counties, unless the whole of such
counties are included therein. so that the
district is bounded entirely by county lines,
constitutional assembly district cannot be
formed which includes within its limits
fractions or two or more counties, or
one county and fraction OF
another. In either case the integrity Of the
county lines would be violated IL a county is
dismembered. Chapter 4S2, laws of 1891,
attempts thus TO dtsmember about twenty
counties. The constitution provides that
the legislative districts shall be formed and
the members Of the two branches Of the
legislature apportioned according to the
number OF Inhabitants, because the county
Is the primary territorial unit ia the forma-
tion of the assembly districts, and the mems
bers Of the assembly must first be appor-
toned TO counties or 20 single districts
containing two or more counties The pro-
vision OF the constitution as ap-
piled to the formation of assembly
districts means primarily that there
must be substantial equality Of representa-
tion in proportion to the population as be-
tween all the different counties and districts
containing two or more counties. The ap-
portionment Of the state into assembly dis
tricts Is an entire process. to a greater or
less extent, each part Of an apportionment
act is affected by and dependent upon every
other part thereof. For this reason IL Is
impossible to expunRe from chapter 4s2 the
portions which violate the constitutional re-
quirements and sustain the balance Of the
act as a valid law. Hence the whole act is
null and void, and consequently is not a
legal basis for the issue and
publication by the secretary OF state
Of notices OF election Of members Of the leg
islature.
