Should Congress Forbid Gerrymander.


tits quite Obvious that the device
of gerrymander and the disregard of
the requirement of equal population
IN representation are being more and
more resnrted to both in respect Of
Congres sional representation and in
the election of State legislatures.
And il is equally obvious to those
who have studied the history of civil
institutions, thst such practices
against really democratic and repub-
lican government will, if they are
permitted to continue and to grow,
inevitably ult,-frst in the de-
struetion of the liberties and immu-
mites OF the great body of people,
and secondly in a CONFUSION where
in the people will, at whatever cost,
and by whatever means may seem
most effective, repossess themselves
of the rights out of which they have
been thus defrauded. To think other
wise implies a want of faith in the
possibility of republican government
founded upon Justice and equal
rights
1t is, OF course, perfectly within
the competence of Congress to pro-
vide for really contiguous territory
and for really equal numb ers in each
district. Senator Edmunds, in
the February Forum.

Weighing to q Hair.

AS fine as a hair could well be
the praise accorded the wonderfully
delicste weight tester for coins at the
Mint. As the coins run down into
it through the spout, the testerneeds
to balance them but for an instant,
Immediately shooting them that are
found wanting into an pen-mouthed
sack at the end of lower spout. If
too light they are tossed out through
another spout, and if too heavy
through third one. Not long ago
an astonishinqly large number OF
coins werei tossed into the "too
heavy spout. Surprised at this un-
usual rejection of so great load OF
the silver pieces, investigation was
instituted; when, loi it was found
that single tiny hair caught in the
scales had made overweig bit for every
coin passed through.

Shadows Of Coming Events.

The mother was so astonished at
her little boy and the girl next door
playing so nice and quiet that she
couldn't help asking what the game
was.

In few minutes they had each
other by the hair and fighting fur

youthful rule.
"Why, thought you were sweet

mother.

that within five years the resources

ened on the G. 4 w. M.
OVER LOCKOUT OF EMPLOYEES
The Cause fog the Trouble II in the
Pssempsory Discharge OF Switch
nen--Szztement Of the Facts.

A lockout Ct the swischmsn ern-
rloyed on the Caicsgo i West Michi-
gan has occurred. Last Saturday 7. H..
smead, employed On the Chicago end
Of the road. having charge OF an en-
gne and crew, was discharged for IN
subordlnation. The Switenmen's Aid
association demanded his relnstAte-
meat ON the ground that he had simply
followed out what Was customary ON
the Chicago & West Michigan and other
reads. The company refused TO listen
to the request OF the organization.
Later, twenty switchmen received no.
tee that they were discharged. IL IS
nld tnat train arriving in Chicago
yesterday morning landed forty men to
Il II the vacancies. The cause Of the
trouble as stated by Smead is that he is
allowed three men TO an engine, ten
hours TO constitute . days work.
Saturday afternoon one OF his
crew LAID off and he put a
man in his place. In sending in bis
time he gave the substitute full har
day, which is required by the Switch
mems union.
The organization extends to this city,
and, although no positive information
has been obtained, is is reported that
unless the company reconsiders il ac-
ton and puts the displaced men back
20 work, that every switchman en-
ployed along the line will leave their
Jobs today.
The only reasons given out by the
company for its action Is that 1t will
not pernit its employees to run its busl-
ness.
Thereare about twenty men employed
in Grand Rapids. The Switchmen's
Aid association think it probable tina,
al sympathetic organizations will CO.
operate with it, and some of the more
positive members assert that the entire
system will be tied up.
Mr.. HeaId. Mr.. Agnew and Mr.. De
Haven are out Of me city, but at mid
night reporter for THE HERALD called
n. the residence OF Mr.. James Austin
acting general manager. Mr.. Austin
was much surprised a. the information
and was skeptical in regard 10 it.
He saId the wages Of all the
switchmen on the road had been raised
recently, and so far as he knew they
were perfectly satisfied with the road
and with the treatment they had and
were receiving.
several switchmen we're found in the
yards late last night, and one Of
them said that all of the men
in Muskegon. the terminus Of The
road, had gone out. because the
company had employed non-unior
yard master. 1t vas further said thai
