When the Chicago Exposition was
opened the miuing department. was
found TO be especially backward and In
complete. The building itself hsd been

This Young Mans n caused
BIushes.
Three young fellows entered a Mont
gomery street car the other night during
rush hours. There were just three vacant
seats and they took them. Presently a
young lady entered. One of the young
men arose, tipped his hat, and offered her
his seat. He then took o seat on the knees
of one of his companions. Three or four
blocks further on another young lady
entered. She was pretty, and evidently
turned his head. Without thinking Of
where he was sitting, he jumped up and
with his best bow offered her the seat
he had been occupying. His companion,
who was reading a paper. didn't notice
what he was about, and so remained in
his seat. The young lady looked embar-
raised. but when he saw the ridiculous
blunder he had made the young man
looked more SO. He finished his ride upon
the rear platform and didn't dare to one
look inside the car.

rhe Republican "Gerrymander"
Fake.

The New Jersey republicans. ind
ing that the people have a prejudice
against them as legislators, desire to
re-establish the old system of Assem-
bly, districts by which they were Sc
cured a frequent majority in the
lower house in spite of the large Inc
unfailing Democratic majority in the
popular vote. In other words, to get
rid of what they are pleased to call a
gerrvmander because it defeats them,
they desire to restore n OF the most
shameless and unmistakable gerry
manders that was ever imposed on
any State.
There can be no question as to the
political complexion of the vote oil
this State. 1t has been unfailingly
Democratic for the last ten years, n
there is no way of counting or estl-
mating it which will make it Repub-
lican. 1t has not been Democratic
merely in the Gubernatorial or Presl-
Dental contests. The sum totals OF
the votes for all the Congressional
candidates in ary Federal election
have been unfailingly Democratic for
twelve years. Still further, the sum
totals of the Assembly district votes
have invariably been Democratic,
even in years when the complexion OF
the Assembly was Republican through
that old shameless gerrymander.
This was notably the case in 1883,
the last year when the Republican
party controlled both branches of the
Legislature. In that year, when the
Republican party was strong enough
to dragoon its infamous liquor law
through the Assembly. the members
of that body had been elected by
votes which, taking the aggregate
for the State, showed a Democratic
popular majority of several thou
sands. Is this the sort of fair play
our Republican friends desire to have?
A large Democratic majority in the
Assembly election and a Republican
majority in the Assembly itself?
At least so much must be said of the
present apportionment: 1t correctly
represents the political complexion of
the State, even though the majority
may be one or two votes larger than
the popular vote quite justifies.
Perhaps the Democracy should have
had in strict abstract justice two or
three votes less and the Republicans
has many more; but a change of
this sort could not affect practical
results. As for the quality of the
members morally and intellectually,
that hardly enters into the question.
With about five exceptions both par
ties were as bad as they could be, and
the Republicans were the stupider.
We observe with amusement a
scheme credited to the Republican
leaders to have Assemblymen
elected in the counties at
large and not by districts. Con-
sidering the present complexion of
the Senate, and that of the last
Senate, we are puzzled to see how
the Republicans can find any comfort
in the project. It seems to US it
would make it impossible for them to
get a majority in the Assembly within
the present generation. On general
grounds the idea is not a bad one. 1t
might lead to the election of an i'm
proved grade of members.
