"Political Reform by the Representa-.
tion of MinorIties !" BY Matthias N
Forney. Published by the author.
New York.
Perhaps there is no subject more per-
tinent to the present condition Of the
country than the Que discussed in this
book. That the vital need Of our gov
ornInent. If it shall continue "a govern
ment by the people and for the people,"
is some system of voting by which mi
norities shall be represented is con-
ceded by the foremost men of thought
and experience In the work of govern
ment.
In 1870 James Garfield said in speech
before the house Of representatives that
there were about $4,000 Democratic vot-
els in his district, and they had been
voting for the last forty years without
any more hope of gaining representa-
tive In the house than of having one in
the Commons Of Great Britain. Now,
no man, whatever his politics. can justly
defend system that may III theory and
frequently does in practice, produce
such results.
John Stuart Mill said: Democracy as
hitherto Dracticed is the government Of
the whole people by mere majority of
the people exclusively represented.
Equal government requires that the
minority should be as fully represented
as @he majority or there is gov
eminent of inequality and privileges;
one part OF the people have their fair
and equal share of influence in the rep
resentation withheld from them con-
trary TO all just government"
The aim of this book is to present
some system Of voting which shall rem
edy the evils which have followed the
present system Of electing representa-
tives to our national, state and munich
pal legislative assemblies.
Illinois in 1872 adopted a system of
cumulative voting by which districts
were consolidated, say three were united
in one ana instead of each one of the
three having one representative the
consolidated district had three. thus not
Increasing the number of representa-
tlVes. The author describes this system
at length. and has gathered the testi-
mony of the leading men of the state of

While the consensus of opinion Is
favorable, some serious defects are
pointed out. To overcome them the
law proposed by Gustav Burnltz and
DIR. G. Varrentrapp for electing repre-
sentatiyes in FrankTort-on-th the Main is
presented and explained. and the opin-
ions of such writers as Josiah Quincy.
Leonard Courtney, Dr. Holmes, Charles
Francis Adams and many others are
quoted.
Mr.. Forney has given the subject
much thought and his arguments are
clear and convincing. If the Hare or
the Burnitz system can effect what Mr..
Buckalen claims for ''free voting," that

THE WAR IN THE WEST.

People here away have been so much
interested in strike developments at
Chicago that they have lost sight of
events that have been transpiring
further West-events that demonstrate
the lawless nature of the uprising far
more forcibly than anything that has
occurred in this vicinity. But on the
Pacific slope the disturbance has as
sumed dimensions equivalent to open
war against the government and armed
defiance of its authority. On all the
far Western roads business has been ef-
fectually obstructed. and attempts to
run trains, even under guard OF federal
troops, have been met with determined
resistance. Several times blood has
been shed. A number of bridges have
been destroyed, and trains have plunged
down deep chasms carrying with them
passengers and trainmen, who have met
frightful death.
The strike in the West has been pecul-
iarly atrocious in its developments.
One day last week the timbers of n
bridge were sawed in such manner as
to cause the structure TO collapse as
soon as trains weight was placed upon
it. AS consequence the engineer and
fireman, several soldiers who were
guarding it against attack, and a num-
ber Of passengers were killed and
others were badly wounded. At other
points similar acts of vandalism were
attempted, but with less disastrous re-
suits. At Oakland the riots have been
so serious that even the federal soldiers
were powerless to repress them, and all
the force West Of the Rocky mountains
had to be summoned to the scene. Many
have been killed. and the destruction

Lowell, Coryell d Co., New York.
Paper, 80 cents.
The first story of the book Is the So

and his wife Josephine from plain JON
Sandstone period of their existence,
when they were such pure and unde-
veloped children OF Nature as to see
good deal OF the people they liked best,
and had no proper idea of the higher
relative value of success as compared
to any other form of simple pleasure.
When they began to evolve up the diff
cult ladder of society of course they
found that such persons were ''impossi-
ble," and to cut them was the best pos
sible proof that they lived anu moved in

United States. ordered his clothes from
Poole'S and became an AngIomaniac of
the most exaggerated type. Josephine
learned the trick of bowling TO her
whilom friends bonnets. and had a
shocking bad memory for their names.
Evolution carried them past the
social conditions of their native country
until trip to Europe. where one could
breathe the raritied air with lords and
dukes, became necessity.
The author tells the story in
delightfully."- lronical manner, with
keen eye for the expression of character
under peculiar conditions. Her style Is
always pleasing. and. like her previous
works, this book will be we'll re-

FIRED RIGHT AND LEFT.
An Italian Injuries Ten People at
Dance.


HAZLETON, Pa, July 15.-While at
tending picnic at Landmesser's park
last night, Mike Roaman, an Italian,
was knocked down on the dancing floor.
Giovanni Perna instantly drew his re-
yolyer. The platform was crowded
with men and women. who were form
ing to take part in the dance. Perna
fired point blank at Benjamin Hancock,
the ball hitting him in the neck. The
dancers broke and ran. Perna. think
ing he was about to be attacked,
began firing right and left, emptying
his revolver OF all lis bullets. 1t is
known that ten persons were wounded.
As far as can be learned their names
are: Benjamin Hancock, shot in the
neck; Clifford Minnick, shot in the left
thigh; j. L. Williams, colored, shot in
the leg: j. Matthews, shot i'll the leg;
William Rakeland, shot in the knee. A
fifteen-year-old boy named Cook
was shot in the side, and an un-
known woman was Snot in the hip,
As Perna reached the exit a crowd of
frenZied men spraDg upon him and
kicked and dubbed him without mercy.
The cry of "Lynch him" was heard and
taken up Immediately. Messengers
went in search of a rope, and the threat
would have been carried out but for the
arrival OF a constable, accompanied by a
number of cOoler-headed citizens. The
mob. however, fought against giving up
the prisoner, and before the officers
succeeded in reaching him he was
nearly kicked to death.
