PROPORTIONAL REPRESENTATION.

American Academy.
We are aw-abiding people, yet
the Laws are made by minority of
the people, and by an irresponsible
oligarchy more dangerous than that
our fathers revolted against. The
Congress which passed the McKin-
ley Bill did not represent the people.
There was a Republican majority OF
three, but, according to the popular
vote should have been a Democratic
majority of seven. In the succeeding
Congress there was supposed to be
the most momentous upheaval III the
history of American politics. The
Democrats had a majority Of 119
over all. But had the people been
represented, this majority would
have been only 80. In the present
Congress, the Democrats have a
majority Of 70, whereas they should
be in a minority Of %; the Peoples
Party should have 81 instead of s;
az d the Republicans 152 instead Of
1870. TO call our Congress repre-
sentative, is the essence of sarcasm.
The same is true Of every other Law
making body in the land. 70 men
ton only one State: Indiana elects
thirteen congressman. According
to the popular vote, they should
stand seven Democrats and six Re-
publicans. In other words, every
Hoosier Democrat whom you meet
has an influence on the legislation Of
his country equal TO that of FIVE and
Jwo-ffths Hoosier Republicans. Pro.
portional representation would bring
into legislative assemblies able and
experienced men, the true leaders OF
their parties and the people. In the
first place, it would secure al the ad-
yantages OF the English and Cana
dian practice Of non-residency. The
area of choice is widened. Repre-
sentatives would be selected from an
entire State without reference to res
idence or district lines. A party
leader, like Mckinley or Morrison
could no longer be excluded from
Congress, because he happened to
live in district where his party had
the minority, or where gerryman.
der had shelved him. So long as his
party could command single quota
Of votes Of the State he would be
their repeated choice. lie would
not be at the mercy Of party factions
and spoilsmen which happened to
hold the balance Of power.

The Cost Of an Ex-P Presidents
Manuscript.

As al illustration of the money
paid to writer's as soon as they &C.
quire a reputation, the September
Cosmopolitan contains less than
eight thousand words, for which the
sum Of $l,666 was paid. Ex-Presi
dent Harrison, Mark Twain and vii
liam Dean Howells are the three
whose work commands such a price.
The September number has more
than one hundred illustrations, giving
the chief points of interest in the
Columbian Exposition, and the Fair
is treated by more than a dozen au-
thors, including the famous English
novelist, Walter Besant; the Midway
Plaisance, by Julian Hawthorne !;
Electricity; by Murat Halstead; the
Liberal Arts Building, by Kunz, the
famous gem expert Of Tiffany IL

Revolution Affecting Readers
Throughout the World,

A subject which has received
much discussion in all parts of the
country during the past month has
been the possibility Of the Cosmo-
-po15tan'8 succeeding in its new move
Of selling the magazine, unchanged
in size and even bettered in quality
at the price Of 121 cents, instead Of
Is cents, as formerly. The August
Cosmopolitan, for instance, was
illustrated by long list Of famous
artists, including Rochegrosse, Ham
ilton Gibson, Guillonnet, Kemble-
Schwabe, Saunier, Goodhue,
Meaulle, Alice Barber Stephens, and
the late Wilson de Meza. The pub
fishers in part explain how it is
possible to keep up a pace of this
kind by their announcement that the
Christmas edition will exceed 200,-
900 copies, and that, in consequence
Of these large editions, they are
obliged to raise the advertising rates
from $500 to $500 per page-$50
per page more than has ever been
charged by any Of the leading maya
zines in this county. This move of
the Cosmopolitan would look as if
the American people had been quick
to appreciate the effort to furnish
them magazine of the highest
class, at a price SO unusual and so
small as to be almost nominal.

ResOlu ions Of Union SURVEILLANCE.

Whereas, it has come to the knowl-
edge of this sub Alliance that there is
q report in circulation that the action
OF the Richmond County Alliance in
coudemning the so-called Alliance
day at the Exposition as a trap
and fraud was not an expression Of
the true alIiancemen Of this county,
therefore, be il
Resolved, by Union sub Alliance
No. 2I87, in regular session, That we
do most heartily endorse the action
of the Richmond County Alliance
and hereby roiterate the charge that
said so-called Alliance day is trap
and the Exposition fraud and that
if any agreement 1s enc ed into by
any party or parties in the name Of
the Alliance with the Exposition au-
thorities, that it has been done with
out the knowledge of the alliancemen
of Richmond county.
,. Resolved, That it is not the in
tention of Union Alliance to throw
anything in the way Of any legiti-
mate enterprise in The city of Augusta,
or to prevent any fair minded mer-
chant or business man from reaping
the benefits of the farmers and work
mems trade. But as those who are
to be directly benefited by said Ex-
position are those who have done and
are still doing all in their power to
deprive our people Of the rights grant
ed unto them by the constitution Of
the United States, namely, a free
ballot and fair count, we wish to
make it known.
3. Resolved, That as we are the
Alliance which meets in this city OF
| political corruption where the Expo
sition is being held, and knowing
whereof we speak, respectfully ask
all Alliance and reform papers in
| Georgia and South Carolina to pub
fish these resolutions, so that al may
know the true position OF alliance
men of Richmond county who have
been so bitterly opposed IN all their
demands by the promoters Of said
| Exposition.

prevail along the coast. Many small accidents
to shipping along the coast are reported
The steamer Brighton, belonging to the
Brighton Railway Company, and plying be-
tween Newhaven and Dieppe, left port in gale
yesterday morning. She had a terribly rough
passage. A deck house and the smokes tack
were washed away, one Of Ler boats was
smashed, and part of her port rail was torn
away by heavy piece of baggage, while her
deck was awash- When she approached the
pier at Dieppe the storm was so binding that
the pilot could not see beyond her bow. The
wind was blowing sixty miles an hour and the
seas were breaking over her deck SO RAPIDLY
that none Of the eighty passengers were al
lowed on deck
large hole was stove in her bow and for a
minute che stuck fast. Ropes we're got aboard
and were made fast before she was driven more
than twenty feet from the pier. She began
filling rapidly. A. long gangway was improvised
and the passengers were hurried ashore. There
was little panic. Half the baggage off when
the captain ordered tine men to leave the ship
which was settling rapidly. He had hardly fol-
lowed the last man to the pier when the vessel
went under.
OF Dartmouth five pilots were drowned
while trying TO put a man aboard a cutter.
The cutter was pitching heavily when the gig
approached her. The bowsprit caught the gig
and lifted it out OF the water. All seven oc-
cupants OF the gig were thrown out and but
two caught the life line thrown to them and
were saved.

annulling the marriage Of Marie J. verthur

recites that it appears that at the time of her
marriage with defendant she was the undi-
vorced wife Of Pierre Tapponier, to whom she
had been married many years before, and that
by reason Of that fact the pretended marriage
at Baltimore was null and void and all legal
rights or results supposed to flow from the same
are Of no validity because OF the civil impede
ment OF the prior subsisting marriage The bill,
flied in October last, set forth the marriage in
Baltimore January IA, 1865: that she had en-
deav0red to promote his interests in and about
the Hotel Frapcais and charged cruel treat
ment. The defendant set forth that she was
the wife of Tapponier in Switzerland and con-
sequently was not his legal wife, and asked that
the nullity Of the marriage be inquired into.
