THE Legislature should certainly give
favorable ear to the proposition looking
toward the election of Assemblymen by
districts. This year, the present system
has led to a reductio ad absurdum. The
great minority of Republicans in this
county ave no representation in the
House. The thousands of Democrats CT
Essex are in the same position. Many
other counties are badly of in a less de-
gree, and as a sum total, the most pre-
JUDGED man will admit that the ratio be-
tween the parties in the Assembly is out
Of all proportion with their respective
numbers in the State.
Democrats and Republicans should join
in correcting the evil.

Army Bullets For Game.

Something for sportsmen to consider
seriously, if they intend to get one of
the new 80 caliber army rifles, is the
great penetration of the bullets One of
the bullets would kill a man through a
four foot spruce tree or COW mile
and more away. No ordinary tree can
be depended ON to stop one of these bull
lets, and it might easily travel half a
mile through dense woods and hit
man far out Of sight with deadly effect
Field and Stream says that the next
Legislatures of our great game states
should pass law prohibiting the use of
a jacketed bullet because of the danger
to human beings Another argument it
offers in favor of such law will have
great influence on the men who do not
wish to wound without killing the
game. ''This class of bullets is useless
for large game unless soft pointed, - it
says, las it rarely kills instantly, but
allows the game to die from internal
hemorrhage and in terrible agony out
of reach. -
When such a rifle is used for big
game, bullet that mushrooms should
be employed. The mushrooming bullet
will kill anything, as it goes clear
through an elk. moose or deer, and the
force of the impact would knock a run
ming grizzly down.
