THERE is a sporadic effort on the part of three or four journals to run Prof. Jordan for D third term, as Superin tendent Of Public Instruc. tion. The Prof. is one of the most elegant gentlemen in the State, but he was elected over the very best Superin tendent the State ever had, the principal argument against whom was that he had already served two terms. If Josiah Shinn could not have a third term why should Prof. Jordan have it3 If Simon F. Hughes, one of the best Governors the State ever had, had to be turned down when he wanted 3 third term, out Of respect for the Democratic precedent, why should the pleasant little gentleman from Pine Bluff be permitted to break the rule2 If he were the only educator ir the State it would be different, - but there are others. Third term talk for Prof. Jordan should cease.

 The GRAPHIC has been given 8 tip to the effect that Prof. Jordan will not be candidate for re-elec- tion as Superintendent of Public h. struction, but will stand for Con- gress in this district against Judge Little.

He Asserted That He Was an
Heir to the Jumel Estate.
Latest Phase OF a Story in Which
Providence Has a Place.

New York, March 10.--H. w. Leonard
of Leonard g. Leonard, lawyers, of 243
Broadway, will sell several million
dollars worth of choice Manhattan Island
real estate for a comparatively insignif-
cant amount of money to any person who
possesses IA speculative turn OF mind and
desire TO be launched into litigation
for an indefinite length of time. Mr..
Lenaid's inducement, as it appeared in
newspaper yesterday, is as follows
For sale on Washington Heights, the
right, title and interest in and to the
.Jumel estate held by John X. Vandevoorr,
In accordance with ithe decision of the
United u u states n@ supreme Court Apply
The history of the Jumel estate has been
told often, and has many versions.
stephen Jumel, IA Frenchman, who fitted
out privateers and kept wine store at
Broadway and Liberty street, married
Betsy Bowen in 1904, and died In 1892.
His widow, wbJ married Aaron Burr,
when she was 90 and he 7S years old, died
in 1865, leas ing l25 acres of land on Wash.
ington Heights She provided literally
in hcr will for charitable institutions, and
left much of her real estate to Nelson
Chase, the husband of her sisters child.
The will was ontested and the contest
ants We're defeated, after which George
Washington Bowen of Providence put
in claim. He set up that he was the
natural son of Nine Jumel He was de-
feated in local courts several times. He
rested while the French heirs sued for the
estate, and when they were routed in 1878
George Washington Bowen again went to
law.
Associate Judge Bradley in the United
States Supreme Court finally decided that
Bowen was an heir. He does not appear
To have profted by the decision, and he
died in Providence in 1885 at the age OF
80 years. Before he died he sold his claim
To John B. Vandeyoort of this city.
Mr.. Vandevoort is 20 years old. He
says he will sell out at n low figure be-
cause he doubts that he will live long
enough To enjoy the many millions that
he believes belong by right to him.
No one has expressed Willingness to
buy the claim yet. Mr.. Leonard says he
has no doubt that he can eject the persons
who now occupy the property, and by
suits based upon Justice Bradley's decis-
ion make millionaire of the man who
will buy the claim.
1t has been stated in courts that George
Washington Bowen claimed that he was
the son of the first President of the Uni
ted States. "That is false, I" said Mr. Van
devoort yesterday That state
ment was made by Bowen's enemies. He
never claimed that Washington, who was
his mothers friend, was his father, but
always insisted that his father was Major
Rubin Ballou, who was on Washington's
siaf -

government, by every consideration
relating TO wisdom in lAw-making, fiji
cheney and economy in administration,
should be relegated to that primeval
period from which it draws its baleful
inspiration.
But on the other hand, a disposition
or determination on the part of the
small towns to maintain the existing
basis of representation against reason,
without just consideration of the
rights of their fellow members of the
body polite to equal representation,
with no reference to reform in the
business or the cost of aw.making,
would be an exhibition of the barbaric
doctrine that might makes right, that
the peolli of those towns, to their
honor be it said, are not willing TO
make. The large towns, which are in
minority of about 200 to 1, have
"certain inalienable rights" which
this tremendous and absolute majority
would feel bound to respect.

The Rotten Borough System.

Alonzo Kinsley, who represented
Cambridge-one of the small towns
in the Legislature of 1882, writes to the
s.. Adams Messenger some of the
opinions formed while member of the
l)wer house of the General Assembly.
He says:
First it seemed to me that the House
was entirely too large and unwieldy to &C
complish the best results. Then it occurred
to me that the House would naturally have
been stronger had two-thirds of us been left
at home. And then came the monstrous in
justice OF system which per nitted a town
of 125 inhabitants to neutralize the vote of a
city with population OF $4,000, and the ut
ter absurdity and downright foolishness
of paying so large sum of mileage and de-
bentures when better service could be OBJ
tanned for one-third of the money; and 1
then expressed the hope that l should live
to see the state divided into seventy five or
one hundred assembly districts, based as
nearly as possible, on population, with one
representative to each district II that
should ever be done, / hope legi Stature
would be elected that wouldn't be SO alb
surdly foolish as to adjourn over from Fri
day to Wednesday, to go home to vote for
presidential electors after having used
thousand dollars of time in passing bill
to enable its members to vote in Mont

EXPOSURE TO DIsEAsE,-Does not neces-
sarily mean the contraction of disease pro-
vided the system is in vigorous condition,
with the blood pure and all the organs in
healthy action. When in such condition
contagion is readily resisted and the disease
germs can find no Judgment. Hoods Sar-
saparlla is the best medicine to build up
the system because il makes pure, rich
blood, and pure blood is the basis of good
health. In cold weather it is especially
necessary to keep up the health tone be-
cause the body is subject to greater expo
sure and more liable to disease. Hoods
Sarsaparilla is the safeguard OF health.

On the third page are extracts from
editorial articles recently published by
the st. Adams Messenger on the sub
ject of representation in the State Leg
islature. Colonel Childs, the editor of
the Messenger, is member OF the
House in the existing Legislature, and
writes from personal contact with the
evil he denounces. Editor Childs had
not regarded with serious concern the
defects in the composition of the House
and the resulting evils in its workings,
which have been pointed out by the
WATCHMAN for nearly two decades,
till he became part of that body. He
has learned by experience how great an
injury, and how glazing an injustice, is
the arbitrary and irrational plan of
town line representation, which is
practically the representation of so
many acres of soil-and widely vary
ing number, at that-by one man,
rather than of the number of people
residing on the soils, and population,
not dirt, is the declared basis of repre-
sentation in the American common
wealth. All have put this theory rig
idly into practice, with perhaps two or
three exceptions, of which Vermont is
the most conspicuous.

SENATOR SHERMAN will probably
settle the question as to whether he is
to be Secretary of State in the coming
administration, during the present
week. Mr.. Shermau's personal incli-
nations, it is said, are not towards the
Cabinet, but if it is the wish of Presi-
dent Mckinley and of the Ohio repub-
licans that he should accept Cabinet
office, he will not allow his personal in
clinations to stand in the way.

only liniment that can be called general
household remedy. 1t is infallble for all
the Countless aches and pains which flesh is

1t acts quickly, relieving pain at once. A

The Loud bill, depriving sample
copies of newspapers and books of the
right to be sent through the mail at
pound rates, was passed by the House,
last week, and has now gone to the
Senate, where its prospect is far from
bright. 1t will be fought hard and
time is getting scarce. Unquestiona-
bly, the law relating to postage on sec
ond class matter is outrageously
abused, in many ways, and the restric-
tons the Loud bill proposes are de.
manded by these abuses. But the bill,
in pulling up the tares, will destroy
much good wheat also. 1t ought to be
susceptible of amendments that would
restrain abuse without doing injury to
a perfectly legitimate use of the mails
under the law. Among these is the
sending of sample copies of newspapers
in reasonable numbers.
