UNEQUAL REPRESENTATION.

Editor of News and Citizen:-
l observe by your last issue that
you copy an article from the Burling-
ton Daily News, "by a distinguished
Vermonter," in regard to the unequal
representation in the Vermont State
Senate. To me it seemed strange one
should pass by far greater Unequal,
ity and injustice to attack a lesser
one. 1t would probably be impossi-
BILE to get an exact representation of
the people in the State Senate. In
some states counties answer to the
state what states answer to the
United States. Some times in draft
ing constitutions places are met
where there has to be compromise,
or no agreement. Take the state of
Delaware, with its one Representative
in the House, yet in the Senate has
equal right with New York with it's
thirty-four Representatives and g.
100000 inhabitants. To me it would
seem the right place to take up the
subject would be the House and leave
the Senate alone,
On investigation we think it will be
found that less than one-fourth of the
inhabitants, and less than one.flth of
the grand list, have a majority in the
lower house of the Vermont Legisla-
ture, with nine votes to spare. The
reason of this is because towns are
represented, instead of the people. To
illustrate this, compare Burlington
and Somerset. In 1892 Burlington
with a population of 14590cast 1884
votes. Somerset, a population of 81,
cast II votes. 1t takes 112 votes in
Burlington to equal one in Somerset.
Somerset has grand list of SOIL
Burlington afgrand list of SIP, All /;
and both have thesame weight in the
lower house of the Legislature. This
shows the inequality of Vermont rep
resentation, and what is true in this
instance is SO throughout the State.
Vermont has 1877 towns with less
than one thousand inhabitants, run
ming from 900 in Irasburg to 81 in
Somerset-average of the 1877 towns
625 inhabitants. Whole number of
inhabitants, rs, 442-a grand list of
$346,672.
One hundred and seventeen towns
with a populationrunning from 1910
in Londonderry to 1850 in Burling-
ton. Average of the 1T towns, 2162
whole number, 2529SO, with a grand
list of 81 ,3S6,96 And yet the 252,
$50 are in the minority, with nine
votes to spare. Now subtract the
79442 from the 252990 and there re-
mains 1858 inhabitants, and this
last number are barred from any
voice in the most important branch
of the Legislature, where all bills
of revenue must originate.
Would it not look strange to an
outsider that the people of Vermont
should have SO long submitted to
such an injustice?
The only way to correct the wrong
would be by altering the constitution
so as to be justCto all. A good plan
would be to cut out of the House 1874
worse than useless Misunderstanding
80, a good working body. We now
have Representative to every 1862
inhabitants. Eighty Representatives
would give one to every 4154. New
York gets along with a Representa-
tive to each $4,000. Equality.

Morrisville Overflow.

Judge Powers attended the meet
ing Of the State Fish and Game
League at Isle La Motto last Thurs
day, aud was one of the alter-dinner
speakers.
Chief Engineer E. W. Webster, with
his push and 60 and interest in local
organizations and undertakings, is
'rculating a subscription paper
which solicits funds for the benefit of
the Morrisville band association, the
first object being to purchase some
sort of uniform for the association,
not for the individual members, but
to become and remain the property
of the band organization as such.
Such other funds as may be raised
and not required for this purpose
will be devoted to the purchase of
music and other expenses ofthe band.
The project is worthy one and is
receiving the usual generous treat
ment at the hands of our citizens.
There is no installing the popular
hold which a show company covering
the same territory year after year,
with new features by new characters

have upon the amusemeut-loving
people. If there is any doubt let the
doubter take Al. Martz and his COM
pany and Morrisville for an illustra-
ton. Martz was here last Saturday
night and town hall was filled plump
full, and everybody was quite thor
oughly satisfied with the show. 1t
embraced some taking features, and
supposing they hadn't been taking,
the proprietor is a whole show in
himself. This company is always
sure to test the seating capacity of
our elegant and modernly equipped

The Hon. W. G. Ferrin of Mont
pelier, who was taken ill at the Ran
dali last Wednesday morning, is a
former resident of this town and is a
brother of Mrs. Rebecca Bundy, the
aged mother of Ex-Governor Hendee.
His father and family came into Nor
ristown in an OK team with all their
earthly belongings, coming from
over in New Hampshire in the dead
of winter and settling in a log house
on the road from here to Stowe. Mr..
Ferrin studied law in this town with
the late Judge Poland, was admitted
to the bar and hung out his single
as an attorney in Wolcott. He prac-
ticed in other towns in this locality
and later returned to Morristown
and farmed it for a time, later to re-
move to Montpelier where he has
since resided. His attack is said to
be due to an embolism, or slight
forming of blood clot in the brain,
which when better circulation was
secured has been somewhat dispelled.

SLIGHTLY MIXED.

The st. Adams Messenger had a
very able editorial in it's issue of last
Thursday upon "Bosses and Bosses"
1t treated the leaders of the Democ-
racy in the style they merited, and
paid special attention to Senator
German of Maryland. Acloseperusal
of the article, however, leads us to be-
lieve that something must have been
wrong in the Messenger establishment
that day. Had Brer. Child been over
to the fish banquet at Isle LaMotte
we could see the cause of the error;
but we understand he wasn't, SO are
mystitied as to how the following mis-
statement was made. The editor in
speaking about how German was de-
nounced by his party for the position
he took on the tariff bill says
CAT a subsequent election in Mary
land the Republicans obtained con
troll of the Legislature and could have
chosen a Republican successor to Sen
ator Higgins. They failed in this,
however, because of the purchase of
some oftheir number by one Addicks.
One would infer from the above
that Higgins was Democratic Sena-
tor from Maryland, whereas he is a
staunch Republican and was Sena-
tor from Delaware. 1t was in this
latter state that "Gas" Addicks cut
up his caper and thereby defeated
Higgins re-election-but all the same
could not prevent the Legislature from
choosing Republican Senator. The
Messenger is usually correct, but in
this instance was off-way off.

The martyrdom which 8 Seventh
day Adventists are undergoing in
Rhea county, Tenn, because they
rested on Saturday and worked on
Sunday, may lead to a awakening of
liberality in that state. These men
were able to pay their fine but refused
to do so on principle and were sent
to work like convicts on the public
roads. The leader is a man of 70
years of age and an old Union SOL
der. There is much sympathy on
their behalf but there is little hope
of executive clemency, because the
Adventists are so "set" in their way.
