There is very little to say about the bal

and their journals quoted elsewhere have
said more than the NEWS modesty would
allow il to do. Meanwhile the contest
goes cheerily on. 1t was enlivened early
in the morning by new name, presented
in the following letter;

A yearning child heart from an hour Of play

A glimpse OF life, when 10! the curtains ris
Fold over fold,
And hangs the picture. like a boundlesS sea-
The world all action aud reality
So we grow old.
A wedding, and tender wife's caress;
prattliDg babe the parents life to bliss;
home Of joys and cares in equal part;
A dreary watching with heavy heart;
And deaths dread angel knocking at the gate,
And hope and courage bidding sorrow wait
Or loose her hold;
A new made grave, and then brave return
To where the fires of life triumphant burn
60 we grow old.
A fortune and generous need of fame,
Or direful ruin and a tarnished name;
A slipping Off of week and month and year,
Faster and faster as the close draws near,
grief to-day, and with tomorrows light
pleasure that transforms the sullen night
From lead to gold;
A chilling winter of unchanging storm;
spring replete with dawns and sunsets warm

GER R Y MAN DE1kIN6s CONDEMNED.
The decision of the Supreme court of
Michigan setting aside the recent Demo-
cratic gerrymander in that State on the
ground that it was inequitabls and uncon-
stitutionsl is very important. The Demo-
cratic legislatures apportionment of dis
tricts is declared unconstitutional, not on
any technical point, but on the general
presumption that it is the purpose of the
constitution of "a free commonwealth to
make representation equal, and that the
ratio of representation which it provides
shall govern the apportionment as far as
practicable. The court truly says: ''There
is not an intelligent schoolboy who does
not know what is the motive of these legis-
lative apportionments,a and it is idle for the
courts to excuse the action upon other
grounds, or to keep silent as to the real
reason, which is nothing moro nor less
than partisan advantage taken in de-
fance of the constitution, and in utter
disregard of the rights of the citizen"
And the court further remarks that
it is time for the citizen to appeal to the
courts in defence of his most sacred rights.
He cannot be obliged to..wait for the pros
ecuting attorney or the attorney general.
There is no higher privilege granted a
citizen of a free country than the right of
equal suffrage, and thereby to an equal
representation in the making and admin
istration of the laws of the land. By this
| system of gerrymander, If permitted, a
| political party may control for years the
| government against the protest of the
people.
| This decisien is especially intere,tins
and important to the people of New York,
who have just seen very rank gerry
mander made. For instance, Albany
county was given four assemblymen, while
Monroe county, with 5000 more popu-
lation, was allowed but three. Duchess
county was given two assemblymen, while
ST. Lawrence county, with 5000 greater
population, was allowed but one. 1t is tc
be hoped that the Michigan decision, whic
was unanimous. will encourage the de-
frauded people of New York to clamor fol
| their rights.

WILL SISTER KElER COOKE
Annie Keier of Brooklyn brought suit
fer separation from Henry Keier. Mrs.
Keier said she had been greatly abused by
her husband. Mr.. Keier said that he had
been greatly abused by his wife. The
husband was accused of using his hands
in violence, and the wife admitted strik-
ing, or at least striking at, her
husband with stovp litter, a
frying pan, kettle of boiling cabbage and
other weapons. The judge who heard the
case evidently didn't know what to do,
and so he told sister Keier to 60 home and
cook her husbands meals. The Brooklyn
Times feels obliged to ask: Can woman
be forced, as a condition of holding and
maintaining her matrimonial rights,
to cook her husbands vic
tualsl 1t argues that in the ad.
vance of civilization there have been many
specific changes in the special duties and
occupations of the sexes. Scores of occu-
pations that were once followed exclusively
by men are now followed by women, very
largely, of course, because scores of occu-
pations that were once the special indus
tries of women at home and in the field are
now followed by men. There has been
remarkable changing around, until at the
present hour it is an exceedingly difficult
thing to classify pursuits into two Glasses
as belonging distinctively to this or that
sex. In the matter of cooking, as in so
many other matters, there has come
about this same uncertainty. 1t is
notorious that the profession of cook
belongs no more to one sex than
to the other. 1t is equally notori-
GUS that in many families, though espe-
cially in those where the family income
has been limited or spasmodic. the hus-
band is found at home doing the cooking
while the wife goes out at days work.
The judge did the best he knew how,
and the Times is perhaps justified in ask
ing the question it asks. But both the
Judge and the Times will find that sister
Keier will cook her husbands meals if it
suits her to do 80. If she doesn't want to
cook she won't.
