Swiss Proportional Representation APP

From nm Outline ef the novel lrgislatlon In
the little Swiss democracy " will Ne sl,nple
matter 70 apply the principle Of proportional
representation to MI American representative
bodies, says the ResieB 81 R,riteS For tho
election of state representatives. and senator's
the state could be divided Into districts, each
district cleeting some odd number Of repre-
sentatiyes, prcietahls fvei seven or nine. Let
us SUPPOSE we have district u witch IRE al
lotted nine Representatives Each political
party IN the district would then nominate for
representatives, SIG So cr seven candIdntes-
!. e., as many as the party could ptssft'r hope
TO elect. The party ticket would be printed
according to the Australian plan Of the secret
ballot Let us suppose, first, that there are
TWO parties In the field. All that the can
vassfrs would do In this case would be to find
the 'o'a' nVnibet * votes rtst Ia the district
and divide this nubiber ~ nine. the humber
OF the representatives to Lc elected. The
electoral quoticnu' thus obtained would &c
used TO mud the number Of representatives to
Wh'eh each party was entitled by dividing the
total vote OF the party by this quotlent. In
case Here are nny enough full luotients In

thnt case the successful candidates would be
selected in the order in which they are printed

the names on the tickctit would be necessary,

The order In which they stand on their indi-
rlduali vote, III no Case however, would a
candidate be elected who did not t6cHite n

| BY this method, although a state would be
| yivided into districts, yet each district would
| include usually nine of the present districts
and the parties within thr districts would be
represented almost exactly IN propffii0r tc
their popular vote. Thus all opportunity aut
| temptation for "gcrryIlandcring' would be-
| done away with, and taking the state as
whole, the representation would be substan

of all parties.

Fraudulent designations.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Is 1t not about time to call halt in this
matter of increase of salaries of city off,
cersf The city controller and Board of
Public Works were compelled to refund
some money illegally drawn by them. but
the matter has not stopped there. The law
Is explicit in that no salary may be in
creased during the term of the officer.
These designations are not bona fde.D and
not for one moment Is the officer out. either
in tIs own mind or that of the appointing
powers. The man may not do indirectly
what the law prohibits being done directly,
and these fran dulent resignatlons are
against public policy and the increase of
salary illegal. We need an organization of
citizens for the enforcement of law that
reform" may not be too expensive. T..

American GARNER.
The United States is inst now suffering
from q potato famine. and the high price of
this indispensable tuber will no doubt SO
stimulate production that next fall the
price will be below the cost of growing.
The writer has noticed that this is almost
invariably the case. anG q year OF high
prices for potatoes is usually followed by
on oversupply. Those who take pains to
get the earlier varieties planted at the ear.
lest possible time. so as To get them
into the markets before the main
crop is ft TO harvest. will no
doubt get good prices. A few years ago the
writer planted an acre of early potatoes,
paying for the seed at the rate OF 80 cents a
bushel. the seed being small aud unstable
in the market for food purposes. The crop
was put in ut the earliest possible moment
and given good care. and a part of it was
sold, lust as soon as they were large
enough to nse, for 81 a bushel. In the fall
when the general crop began TO come in.
the price went down TO 20 cents. IL the
whole crop from that acre had been dug
and sold early five times as many bushels
could have been bought for the same
money. The moral will be plain to the
reanar.

MEMORIAL FROM PRINTERS.


MILWAUKEE, April 5.-The International
Printers Protective Fraternity to-day sent
o memorial to President Cleveland. OF
which the following is part:
The Government Printing Office has been for q
great many years under the domination and con-
troll of an organization called the international
Typographical Union to such an extent that it
has been practically impossible for a citizen,
other than a member OF said union, to obtain
employment therein.
The total membership OF the international
Typographical Union in the United States and
Canada does not exceed $4,000, While the whole
number of persons engaged In the printing bust
ness In this country is variousiy estimated at
between 10000 and 10000. thus showing that
more than four-ffths or the printers OF the
United States are defrauded or their rights under
the Constitution to seek employment In the
Government Printing Office.
1t is claimed that aliens have been employed
in said Government Printing Office. to the exclu-
sion of American citizens, If said alisns were IN
possession OF O working card issued by the In
ternational typographical Union.
Although tits claimed by the typographical
Union that IL contains the greater proportion OF
skilled and competent workmen. we submit that
that the greater majority OF competent printers
in the United states do not owe aiiegiance to
bership said union contains more incompetents
than any trade society in the country.
The memorial thea goes on to say that
the Printers Protective Fraternity, 'an
organization believing in the eqnal right

and the submission of ALI dIsaRreements

Public Printer from it's ranks, but suggests
that the place be filled by a competent
citizen who is not allied in any manner
with. or liable to be controlled by. an or.
ganlzation of printers. as we believe that
all classes of printer-citizens In our beloved
country have an equal right to representa-
tion in the Government Printing Otice."
The memorial also submits that the Inter
national Typographical Union. Through
it's New York representatives. pledg ed Its
support at the Republican national con-
vention. held at Minneapolis. III June last.

law Reid for President and Vice President,

A Place to Rest


A room without a couch of some sort is
only half furnished. Life is full of ups and
downs. and all that saves the sanity of the
mentally jaded and physically exhausted
fortune fighter is the periodical rood cry
and the momentary loss of consciousness
on the upstairs lounge. or the old sofa in
the sitting room. There are times when so
many of the things that distract us could
be Strengthened out and the way made
clear If one only had a long. comfort
aOle couch on whose soft bosom
he could throw himself. boots and brains.
stretch hi weary frame, unmindful of
tides and tapestry. close his tired ey es,
relax the tension of his muscles and ave
his haressed mind q chance. Ten minutes
OF this soothing narcotic. when the head
throbs. the soul yearns for endless. dream
less. eternal rest, would make the vision
clear. the nerves steady, the heart light
and the star of hope shine again. There is
not q doubt that the longing to die is mis-.
taken for the need of q nap. Business men
and working women want regular and svs-
ematic doses of doing, and there is moth.
ing better than q big sofa or q low, long
couch placed In the corner, where tired
nature cen turn her face to the wall and
sleep and doze away the gloom.
