obviate the apparent necessity OF an

sure at all times full representation
of states in the United States senate,

offer relief by legislation which, the
senator says, may prove satisfactory
He proposes that the following para
graph be added to the end of section
l5, title .. chapter 1, of the Revised
| Statues:
"If on the third Tuesday after the
organization of the legislature no per-
son has received such majority, then
on that day. or any succeeding day, the

bers elected to both houses being pres

This. he believes. will meet the ne
cessities of the case and insure the elec-
ton of a United States senator III
every state at the time specihed Dyl
In commenting upon this PROPOSE
tion former Republican State Chair
man Thomas " Cooper says:
"The law regulating the election OF
United States senator's, passed by con-
gress in 1866. should be modified as to
enable a plurality to elect, the same as
members of the lower house and all
other officers are chosen. This should
be done, and done so quickly after
the meeting of congress in December
that it will practically settle the four
contested cases of Pennsylvania, Call
fornia, Utah and Delaware. II done,
it will kill at least four factions in as
many states, and it will check the
growth of factions and of third par
ties. Now, under the Jaw requiring
majority of all voting to elect, third
party or faction can deadlock any leg
islature, to the great cost of the people
and the great injury of the general
government Who cannot readily con-
ceive the death of one of the great CO.
ordinate branches of our government
by deadlocking the legislatures of one
fourth to one-third of our states, thus
making from 10 to 20 vacancies in the
senate--a greater number of vacancies
than there is party majority. What is
the result of this-a deadlock in the
senate, with ability in the minority
to wreck the government by a refusal
to vote.
"The present law is not republican
in form, for it defeats the majority. II
is dangerous in character, for it divides
states and cripples their legislation. 1t
is doubly dangerous, for it carries di-
vision and disruption to our highest
legislative body, and thus threatens
our general government. Judge Hoar
was right when he denounced it is in
iquitous. and now that its results are
seen in vacant seats and states without
representation, the very first act OF
the next congress should be to re-
peal it,"

Let Himself Out.

Luigi Lablache, the singer, was giant
in size. Zone of his boots, " says n biog-
rapher, would make good portmantcau.
One of his gloves would clotho an infant. "
There is humorous exaggeration in the
statement, but tho fact remains that he
was certainly an enormous man.
1t is recorded of him that he was very
generous and also lover of jokes At
one time he was staying in Paris at the
same hotel with Tom Thumb. An Eng
lish tourist, who had been making strcnu-
GUS efforts to meet the latter, one day
burst into the great bassos apartment.
Seeing the giant before him, he hcsitated
and apologized.
81 was looking" he said, for Tom
Thumb"
"I am he" answered Lablaoho in his
deepest tones.
The Englishman was taken aback He
must have been trusting soul.
"But, said he, you were very tiny
when / saw you yesterday"
"Yes, said Lablache; THAT is how
have to appear, but when l get home to
my own rooms let myself out and enjoy
myself" "
Then he proceeded to entertain his
guest, who did not, after all, regret Tom

SUPERINTENDENT RESIGNS
Miss Wilson to Refine From Management of
Maulsby Home.
Features of the Instruction Afforded
Care of Children of Help
less Mothers.

Miss B. NJ WILSON,, the superintendent of
the Newsboys and Children's Aid Society,
has rendered her resignation. The years
of faithful service she has given to the du-
ties of her position, 1t is understood, have
impaired her health, and she has therefore
determined to retire as soon her place
can be filled.
During the past year the society has CIV
en- special attention to the interests of the
newsboys. The gymnasium, which has usu-
ally been closed during the summer, has
been kept open through the entire season,
white and colored boys alternately having
the use of it, as they have also the use
Of the instruction room above the gymna-
SUM. The evenings the white boys use
the gymnasium the colored boys are taught
in the instruction room above, the follow
ing evenings the order is reversed.
Military drill is given by one who has
served in the regular army. The result has
been eminently successful, the attendance
having been good through the entire sum-
mer. At present the room is filled each
evening to its utmost capacity. The effect
In drawing the boys from the streets or
more Objectionable places, it is said, has
been of the best.
There is another feature Of the work Of
the home that seems to its friends to be
of peculiar value. The society Is not ham,
pered by stringent rules. Children are re-
ceived according to their needs and for
the time of their needs. For example, a
mother is taken ill., or is abandoned by a
worthless husband, or for some other rea
son is unable to care for her children. She
sends them to the Mausby Home. After
awhile, it may be a month, it may be six
months. she is able to care for them again,
and naturally wants them. They have not
been taken from her by law She has no le-
gal process to go through to get them She
has simply been tided over emergency
and recognizes it with gratitude.
This Is q feature of the work Of the
home-the relief of worthy and unfortu-
nate families in times of special stress
which the management cites as commend
ing 1t to the sympathy and generosity of
the public. 1t is declared that with the
opening of a new year of work comes the
usual need of new benefactions
