Unfit Representatives.

To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Although Democrat. and one who voted
the ticket straight at the last election, I
was greatly pleased to read the article in
the Sunday Journal in reference to the
class of men who. at present, represent
Marion county in the Legislature. The
better element of the Democratic party are
as much ashamed of them as you are; but
how can It be helpedf 1t is much less diff.
ficult to obtain good men for such positions
in the smaller counties than in the larger
ones, and more especially In counties
containing large cities. Cook county.

way that we are here In Marion.

extent. An incident occurred some time
ago which shows the absurd ideas possessed
by many of this class. A number of gentle

It was better than any other course that

True, no one could have foreseen that the

No one knows and therefore no one can
explain the precise reason why magne-
tized needle does point to that mysterious
spot on the coast of Boothia Felix, and
strange as it may seem there was in 1881
no visible trace of anything by which that
spot could be recognized, not even so much
as a small hillock in the immediate neigh
borhood, and the only means of proving
that the magnetic pole had been reached
was by the total inactivity of the compass
at that spot, coupled with the almost verti-
cal position of the dipping needle.
On this most interesting point the very
words of Sir James Ross himself shall be
given: 1.-THE amount of dip as indicated by
my dipping needle was 80 degrees 50 min
utes, being thus within one minute Of the
vertical, while the proximity at least of
this pole, if not its actual existence where
we stood, was further confirmed by the
action, or rather by the total inaction, of
the several horizontal needles then in my
possession. These were suspended in the
most delicate manner possible, but there
was not one which showed the slightest eff
fort to move from the position in which it
was placed, fact which even the most
moderately informed of readers must now
know to be one which proves that the cen
ter of attraction lies at very small hori-
zontal distance, if at any, ,"-Cornhill Mag
