The basis of representation in Con-
gross is twofold. Each State has
two members of the Senate, without
respect to its population or impor-
lance. In the House of Represen-
tatives each State has q number OF
members in proportion to it's popu.
lation. The riginal purpose of the
census, which the Constitution re.
quires to be taken every ten years,
was to ascertain the representation
to which each State is entitled in the
lower house of Congress. Under
the apportionment based on the
census of 1890, there is one rep.
resentative in Congress to every
173,90l of population.

The protection which the Repub-

one-sided affair. It is all in favor of

are not protected by the tariff but

Eastern manufacturers who do not
pay their hands one cent more per
year than they would without the

FirnneSs.

So much is to be gained by mod
Grafton and frmness of speech, as
opposed to hysterical passion, that it
is worth while for every one to try
to learn how TO control the tongue
and the pen SO as to obtain the great
est amount of influence over others.
Strong language is never needed tc
enforce the opinion Of a man who is
strong in his faith, clear in express
sion and logical in his methods. II
is usually the resort of bullies, Of
those who cannot reason, or of men
who are guided by their preiudices
rather than by logical deductions
from facts. The objection to strong
or incorporate language is that il
gives rise, unnecessarily, to conten.
tious opposition. A radical in reli.
gion or politics takes such extreme
views and urges them so Extensively
that he provokes quarrels, yet mover
makes convert. Another man, Just
as firm in his convictions, more mod
crate in giving expression to them
and more considerate Of the opinions
of other people, can say substantially
the same things without irritating
those who differ with him. He does
not provoke quarrel, but invites q
calm discussion. He thus has the
chance at least of winning people
over to his views, whereas the radical
drives them off at once. Moreover,
the moderate man may remain firm
because he says nothing that he can
uot maintain, whereas the radical is
necessarily vacillating. He goes to
such extremes that he is obliged to
retract and loses the respect Of his
hearers because lie is not consistent
or firm. Firmness, it is to be OBJ
served, is consistent only with intel
ligent, honest thought. The ignorant
may be unyielding, but in their case
obstinacy takes the place of Grmness.
One who has well-settled principles,
mind free from prejudice and a
disposition to think before speaking,
can be firm in expression and IN
yielding in his adherence to opinions
once expressed without being obsti-
nate. Such a man wins the respect
not merely of his followers or of
those who agree with him, but also
of his opponents, and is much more
influential than the radical who pre-
sents extreme views in strong Ian
guage. Frequently the teachers or
leaders of men are obliged to combat
some widespread movement resting
perhaps on sentiment, and to do SO
successfully they must be considerate
of the faelings of those whom they
address, moderate in their language
and yet firm. They would be mis-,
understood if they should use violent
language OR attempt coercion, and
would thereby lose influence. Firm.
ness, GOODNESS, elaboration, these are
the elements that allay strife and
convince the understanding. Hot
headedness, extravaganza of Ian
guage, ill-considered railing may stil
men to action, but they also arouse
opposition and do nothing to pro
mote the rational settlement o
1iapntar
