WHAT He PLANNED,
Thought lie Might be at the Pole in
Forty-two Hours.

Thought lie blight he at the Pole In
Forty-tMo Hours.
Andree's theories as to wind currents
led him TO estimate that 1t would be o
matter of a few weeks when the trip
would be ended and the explorers be
safe on land again. He reckoned the
balloons mean rate of travel at twenty
miles an hour, or nearly that.
$50" he said to an interviewer, I'VE
NAV be at the pole in forty-two hours
and In Siberia or Boring strait In
week"
He laughed as he said this, but added:
at Is quite possible, but l don't thlnK
II Is very probable. II Is more likely
that we shall be three weeks or even
more. I would rather not do 1t so quick
because OF our observations"
Judging from what Is known OF the
polar winds. the explorers reached these
conclusions regarding the probable place
OF their landing:
FIrst-The greatest probability Is that
the balloon will Lad in Siberia in about
latitude 10 north and longitude 1876 east.
Second-It may land on the Samoye-
dan Peninsula In latitude 10 north, lon-
gitude 20 cast
Thrd-Tt may land in the vicinity OF
Cape Barros, Alaska, in latitude 10

there is an American government sta

moment the strongest. The uni
verse is so construed that it must
be so; whether the decision be right
or wrong, there is no appeal from
it till the balance of strength is
altered. In the Greek republics, as
in modern Europe and America, a
majority of the people was pre-
sumed to be the strongest. The
balance Of force was assumed to lie
with the greater number with out
trying the question by force. But
it was not so between the lions and
the hares and rabbits. It was not
so between the Greeks and Asiatics.
One Greek in the field equalled ten
Asiatics. He was not likely to give
the Asiatiac an equal vote with
him.
Aristotle believed that govern
ment by a majority of voters was on
the whole the happiest and most
secure. But no form of govern
ment will save us from our faults,
however much we have faith in the
wisdom of majority. It is easy to
degenerate into mob rule and
anarchy. All in all, however, the
national spirit is likely to rise
higher, the laws likely to be more
impartial and to be more in1part-
tally executed, where the people are
their own Legislators and choose
their own officers and possess
equal rights before the law.
Emerson may be taken with great
consideration, because he was a
thinker. He said:
"Shall we then judge a country
by the majority or by the minor
ity? 'Tis pendantry to estimate
nations by the census or by square
miles of land, or other than by
their importance to the mind of the
time. Masses! The calamity is the
masses. I do not wish any mass at
all, but honest men only, lovely,
sweet, accomplished women only,
and no shovel-handed, narrow
Drained, gin-drinking million stock
myers or lazaroni at all. All the
feats which made our Civility we're
the thoughts of a few good heads.'
Suppose at sea the captain of the
ship is lost. There is but one man
left who can steer the vessel safely
into port. But by a majority vote
of those on board another person is
chosen to this responsible and
vital duty. The minority favors
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1897-01-30

In this case shall the majority de-
cision prevail and all perish, or
shall the minority be heard and all
be saved?
It is often the case in this country
that where several candidates are
running for the same office one is
elected by minority vote of the
whole people, the others having
plurality. Often a majority is
practically DISTINGUISHED in it's
right to representation in legisla-
tive halls by unfair gerrymander~
ing. Then there is a divorce be-
tween equity and party interests,
and the infamy is perpetrated tor
partisan purposes, not the gener-
al welfare. Here, you see ninori-
ties are already entitled to more
than they receive. Severed by
partyism the minority legislator
then exacts laws for minority Of
the whole popular vote. The ma
jority in republic is always en-
titled to a fair representation as
we'll as the minority.
Sometimes on minority vote the
whole electoral college Of a state
is cast for president, and the ma
jority, divided between several can
didates lose their majority rights.
1t is but marked depotism to
scheme for the purpose of making
the minority the supreme power for
party ascendency. On the other
hand it is equally harmful to fair
and honest government for a ma
jority to rule without considering
the rights f>the minority.
To remedy this evil Illinois has
system of minority representation.
Each district sends three represen-
tatives to the Legislature, and each
voter casts three ballots, one tor
each candidate or all for one, as he
chooses. Thus a minority, cast
ing it's ballots all for one, may
probably elect him, and so be sure
of minority representation. This
principle was embodied in the con-
stitution OF Illinois in 1870. West
Virginia put it in her constitutional
1872, Pennsylvania in 1873, Missouri
in 1875. The Michigan Legislature
took steps to provide for minority
in corporations on
this cumulative plan, as it is called.
Every stock holder has the right to

Minority Representation
BY FRANK A. MYERS.

Almost every principle is at first
espoused by minority. Majorities
are not always right. Abuses come
through majorities. Reforms be-
gin in minorities.
Aristotle believed majorities were
decisive and could not be wrong.
We today are losing faith in the
dictum that that majority-rule is
absolute and final. We believe that
minorities also have rights that
should be respected. Minorities
are patient respectful, argumenta-
tive. All beneficial movements
among mankind have been the
work of determined minorit1es,
finally prevailing through reason.
Professionalism was at first feeble
minority; but see to what extent it
has at last grown. Republication
has attained mighty proportions
over monarchy that once doni
neered the world. Froude has said:
There is no divine right in ma
jorities. No voting, though all
mankind were unanimous, will
make right out of wrong; and vot-
ing is only rough-and-ready
means of finding what is most con-
venient to do at a single moment.
You hear it said that the source of
power is the will of the people,
that men must have themselves
consented to the laws by which
they are to be governed, with other
such conventional forms of speech.
I humbly submit that such ex-
pressions are conventional and
nothing else.'
And still more, Froude has said:
"There is but one divine right,
and that is the thing which on any
occasion ought to he done. There
is right way of doing a thing, and
a wrong way, from the cooking a
mutton chop to the guiding an en-
pire; and the opinion of majority,
provided the people are of fair in
telligence and character and
courage, is an indication where the
RIGHT lies; and that is allan indi-
cation only, not a proof; and in ex-
IRENE cases other methods have to
be adopted. In fact, whether we
like it or not, the voice which at
anv given moment always decides
