before he could get one be met Cochrane
on Water street, who told him he had got
the old man cared for. So Smith would
have it appear that he didn't rob and wasn't
present when Carson was robbed. Officer
Hanks did 60 over to the tree and found
old man Carson almost dead drunk but
thought Cochrane was nearly sober, while
Smith was pretty drunk, too drunk to par
ticipate in robbery. This together with
the statement of Carson that he never knew
Cochrane before looks ~ if Cochrane
planned the crime.
Testimony was also introduced into court
to the effect that Cochrane paid out $l5
instead Of $40 at Makers store, and that he
told certain other parties that he had anoth-
er $50 bill in his pocket. Carson lost two
500 bills. The old man Carson says that
when they were leading him across the
ditch at the tree he felt one of their hands
in his pocket, but didn't know which enc
had his hand there. When he was coming
back with Cochrane he felt Cochrane push
ing the wallet down in his (Carson's) pock-
ct. Supposed now that he was putting the
empty wallet back.
Smith was not held.

The Declaration Of Independence asserts
s'that al men are created equal" Agree
ing that in creation all are equal, it looks
- If at later period some men attain con-
siderable more equality than others.
A case in hand is suggested to me by
looking over the late municipal election re-
turns, " hich, to me, show case OF unequal
ity hard to be equaled, and which, it seems
70 me, should be remedied as soon ~ pfac-
ucable.
In the election mentioned there were
PIGS votes thrown for the candidates for
mayer, or counting imperfec: votes, proba-
bly, nearly 2300. Of this 2l6S ballots,
Ward / cast SIC; Ward 2. 1856; Ward 8.
395; Ward 4, l54; Ward 5, 3l4; Ward &,
249; Ward Z, 1911.
approximately speaking Ward l cast
onef0urth of the total vote Warl 2, one
seventh; Ward 8, one-sixth; Ward 4. one
fourteenth; Ward 5, one-seventh; Ward 6,
one-ninth: Ward Z, one-eleventh. These
fractions are not exact but are near enough
to show the comparison and vary but
slightly. The proportion Of the total reg
istration was relatively the same in the
seven wards.
Section l6 of the city charter provides
that the .'city shall be divided into seven
wards, to contain 40 near a. conveniently may
be, an equal number of voters;" and 1ur-
that sit shall be the duty of the city coun-
Gil once in 10 years, and not oftener than
once in five years, to review, and il need
full to alter said wards in such manner as to
preserve ~ nearly as may be, an equal
number of inhabitants in EACH
The last review was made January 10,
1893, by which the wards limits were re-
established with the same boundaries as be-
fore. A change could be made in the
charter by Legislature, or q special act
passed, or the city council could equalize
these wards rot sooner than January ID.
1898.
1t is said that residents of Ward l, out
corporation taxes, pay over one-third
of the taxes of the city. That is not veri-
fled but could be easily ascertained. The
city government, besides the mayor, con-
sists of seven aldermen and IA councilmen.
OF these 81 representatives, Ward
has three. So that in return for one-quar
ter of the voters and inhabitants, and, pre-
sumably one-third of the the taxes to pay 1T
has one-seventh Of the representative voice
or exactly the same as Ward 4, which
has fourteenth of the voters and popula-
ton and, presumably, about that ratio of
taxes to pay or less.
1t is q common thing to speak of the
wants of Ward l as unreasonable; but,
when one reflects upon the situation, the
inevitable conclusion must be that they are
not more than it is entitled to. Relatively
speaking it obtains the least of any ward
in the city.
These facts suggest the remedy. The
subject is left for whatever discussion or
action it may awaken.
Very respectfully yours,

To Honor Mrs. Harrison.

Only once has the American woman
been so honored by the government as to
have her portrait handed down to pos
terity ON official issues, in the case of
Martha Washington, whose head adorns
the 81 bill But there is q movement on
foot among the national officers Of the
Society of the Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution to try to secure public
recognition of their first president gem
eral, the late Mrs Caroline Scott Haui-
son, wife of ex-President Benjamin HAIR
rison, by placing her portrait upon a new
postage stamp
The idea orr ginated in the fertile brain
of Daughter, - who straightway talk
ed the matter over with her patriotic
colleagues, with the outcome that the
proposition was laid before the board of
management of the national society
These ladies in turn weighed the pros
and cons and decided that it would be an
appropriate way to respect the memory
of a woman eminent for her patriotism.
The national board then put the idea in
correct form and presented the subject
to ex-President Harrison and his family
in order to first gain their assent to the
proposition before taking any further
steps.
The ex-president is now considering
the matter, and should he return
favorable answer the Daughters, -
through the national board, will proceed
to lay the subject before the postoffice
department, as the postmaster general
would be the official to take the decisive
step
The inception OF the whole idea prob
ably came through the masterpiece in
portraiture of Mrs Harrison, painted by
Daniel Huntington, president of the
National Academy of Design, which por-
trait was unveiled by the Daughters
at their continental congress lately held
in Washington The picture now hangs
in the executive mansion
There is still pending in the United
States congress a bill for charging the
White House by plan originated by

Mrs. C1eveland's Dainty Shawl.

Mrs. Cleveland gave a special recep-
tior in Washington recently to Mime
Pogosky, manager of the New York
branch of the Russian cottage industries.
A handsome Orenburg shawl was pre-
scented to Mrs Cleveland. These shawls
are made of goats down, preparation
of the wool of a special goat, once
brought from Tibet, but now domesti-
Gated in Russia.
The preparation of the wool is all done
by women 1t is spun into a very fine
thread, and this thread is knitted on
kneedles to form a large shawl. A Rus
sian lady spent one year in knitting such
a shawl as the one presented to Mrs.
Cleveland, which is SO fine that it will
go through wedding ring.
