An Unfair System.
From the Burlington Free Press

LrIoiu lhc buI llIlRlOu Free lTeSS.
Vermont's basis of legislative represen-
tation is far from just to the larger towns.
but we are much better off in this respect
than our Connecticut friends. Union, the
smallest town in the Nutmeg state, with a
population of 43l, sends two representa-
tives to the legislature, and with a sim
liar basis Of representation throughout the
state there would be membership of 3G42
in the lower house, instead of 2j2, as at
present
Vermont clings to her system of repre-
sentation on the ground that it is not favor
able to bossism, while in Connecticut the
prevailing system is said to be so conven-
lent an arrangement for bossism that it
cannot be reformed. 1t would appear.
therefore, that what is meat for the DO
litical boss in one state is poison for his
fellow-boss of a neighboring common
wealth. But fair-minded people will see
at once that advocates of existing systems
merely adapt their arguments to the ends
which they seek to promote. The political
boss depends more upon the subservent
character of the people than upon any sys-
TEN of legislative representation. He can
flourish under any system, provided pre-
vailing conditions of public sentiment are
favorable TO the development of bossism
Whatever arguments may be used for
our existing system of legislative repre-
sentaton, no one can have the hardihood to
assert that it is reasonable or just. For
the little town of st. George, with its few
voters, to have the same representation in
the legislature as has Burlington or any
of the other large towns in the state, is an
injustice which should not be allowed to
continue further Our forefathers fought
for the principle of equitable representation,
which has become the cornerstone of our
national government, and most states have
modelled their legislatures after our
national law-makng body to the extent of
basing the lower branch upon population.
Vermont is one of the few states clnging
to the Anticipated system, and it is high
time a change was made.

The Peculiar situation In which eI-
Gov. Woodbury. Has Allowed Himself
20 be Placed.
Washington despatch to the Boston Transcript
Washington, Sept. 27-An additional
interest is lent to the investigation by the
Presidents commission to inquire into the
conduct of the war by the circumstance
that ex-Gov. Woodbury. of Vermont has a
son who is one of the benefciaries of the
present administration. Charles Lincoln
Woodbury. was appointed from Vermont,
on the 10Th of May last, a major of volun-
teers in the engineer corps. To show what
an honor that conveyed il must be observed
that of all the staff corps that of the engi-
neers is the most exclusive, and the goal
of ambition for regular army officers of a
strongly scientific bent. There were only
% appointments or transfers TO this corps
between the outbreak of the war and the
22d OF August last, and of the whole num-
Der only six were civilians, the rest being
ofhcers OF the regular amy. Mr. Wood
bury's appointment as one of the six was
therefore mara of special favor. Another
civilian appointed about the same time
was Hugh II. Gordon of Georgia, and it
will be observed that ex-senator John b.
Gordon, the young mans father, was one
of the first men invited by the President to
take part in the so-called nvestigation.
The senator declined possibly not wholly
for the reasons assigned, but in part be-
cause he did not care to be target for the
critics OF withdrawing machine.
1t must not be assumed from this that
the engineer corps is likely to come in for
Iaking over. On the contrary, when Gen.
John M. Wilson, chief of engineers, was
invited to serve on the commission. and
ventured to state that 1t would be indeli-
cate for him 10 serve on commission
which would have to investig te his own
branch of the service, the President assured
him that there were no charges of any sort
against the engineers, and hence that he
need let no sentimental considerations
weigh against his acceptance.
But in the case Of a commissioner like
Mr.. Woodbury. it is different. Young
! Woodbury. naturally has ambitions in his
military career which the President and
the secretary of war will have it in their
power to crafty. The ex-governor has
therefore placed himself hors de combat in
all that concerns the thoroughness Of his
| inquiries and the weight which will be at
tached to his share in the verdict in the
| popular mind.

"the sanitary situation was something

the lower and most unhealthy portion of
the city ditched and drained 1t had long
been the custom to depend on heavy rains
and the running of floods through the
streets to sweep away the accumulated
filth of the dry season. All this has been
swept down to the water front, in which ii
had been collecting for years, choking the
drains and filling the shallow water near
the shore so that when the tide goes out

posed to the intense rays of the sun and

Dying in Havana streets.

A private letter from an American citi-
zen in close touch with the Cuban military
commission in Havana states that great
suffering exists in Havana for lack of food.
People are starving, some dying on the
streets, and many others who are unable
to 90 out and beg die in the houses. There
is a great number of this latter class, All
the while this was going on the Spanish au-
thorities we're refusing to allow the Comal
with a million rations on board to enter the
Havana harbor. The commission is now
making efforts to secure the admission of
supplies sent by the Red Cross, so a part
of the suffering might be relieved. The
commission, in this as in everything else,
find that they are dealing with procrasti-
mating men, who delay every move as long
as possible.

Thirty thousand people saw the launch
ing of the battleship Illinois at Newport
News, Va, Tuesday. Gov. Tanner of
Illinois was there with a large party of dis
tingushed people from that state. Miss
Nancy Letter of Chicago was sponsor for
the new warship, and "When the supreme
moment came Miss Letter poised the dec
GRATED bottle of champagne in her right
hand and as the big ship moved slowly
toward the river, cast it against the reced-
ing bow. Cheer after cheer went up from
the crowd, whose shouts almost drowned
the noisy welcome sounded by the whistles
in the harbor." The Illinois will be larger
than either the Oregon or the Iowa and she
will be the most formidable fighting ship
ahoat.

Turkey WIN Have TO Pay.

Turkey is to be called upon to indemnify
American missionaries for the damage sus
tanned by their persons and property as a
result of riot during the last three years
This is the decision of the President after
careful consideration of the matter with
Secretary Hay. The Turkish government
recently announced that it would pay none
of the claims filed against it by foreign
governments for injuries sustained by their
citizens during riots which occurred in Ar
menia, and, when pressed for a specific
answer by DR.. Angel, disavowed its LA
bility, on the ground that every effort had
been made by Turkish officials to protect
life and property. THE issue has come, -
said an administration official. Turkey has
disavowed liability for the damages sus-
tanned by American citizens. The United
States holds that the porte is directly re-
sponsible on the ground that its officials
connived at or permitted the outrages
which are said TO have resulted in injuries
TO Americans and American property. 1t
will now depend upon the President and
his cabinet to determine what shall be done
to enforce the demand The course which
will be taken is not announced.

A CurIoua XIsItatinn.

A Wichita, Kansas, despatch of the 4th
inst. says; Several hours before sunset last
evening there began to arrive here, flying
low over the city, cloud of insects com
prising grasshoppers, wasps, bald hornets,
several varieties of butterflies and wild
bees. They were drifting slowly with the
light breeze toward the southeast, the low
est flying, the wasps and hornets, cluster
ing in great numbers about the peaks and
spires of the higher buildings. The cloud
of winged creatures extending into the air
to the limits of vision overhead, was pass
ing for hours. 1t is thought the insect Wis,
itation is due to the forest fires in Colorado,
the insects being driven from their haunts
in the advance of the flames.

Sir Henry Thompson used to be vege-
tartan, and was wont to promulgate the
theory that life and health could be sus-
tanned without any admixture of animal
food. In 1879 he said: The vegetable
eater pure and simple can extract from his
food all the principles necessary for the
growth and support of his body as well as
for the production of heat and force"
But he now writes in the Nineteenth
Century that few persons can sustain their
health and fair amount OF strength on
a strictly vegetable Diet Who shall
decide when the doctor disagrees with
himself ?
